Chapter 172: Where to Go

She said: "Doctor Ben really doesn't have time to go, Master Lu, please don't make it difficult for others." ”

With or without time, it's dangerous to stay with him for too long.

Besides, wouldn't it be troublesome if you can't hide your expression and be seen by others about your true relationship with him?

He said: "What I want to take you to is the place you will definitely want to go, the Songyue Private School, which is forty miles southwest of Jiangbei City, have you heard of it?" ”

"Is it the private school run by Mr. Zhuang Xuqing?"

She remembered that she didn't know which patient had said that Zhuang Xuqing had been the commander of a county, and now he was old enough to return to his hometown to open a school, specializing in teaching children from poor families in the nearby ten miles and eight townships.

And the reason for how to do it is because he also suffered from poverty when he was young, and he almost dropped out of school many times.

"Yes, he did it." Lu Shikang returned to Qingzhi Road.

"But Dr. Ben is not in the mood to go out and have fun." To go there, she had to walk on a mountain road, and the road was detouring, and it would take at least an hour, and it was a private school, so she was not interested.

"Who said they were going to take you to the fun?"

"And what are you taking me for?"

"If Dr. Kong wants your Kong Family Pharmacy to regain its original popularity, why don't you go there and give it a try."

"Try what?" She asked, confused.

"Why, Dr. Kong doesn't know anything about Songhe's private school in the past two or three months?"

"After I lost my memory, I forgot a lot of things, what, what happened there?"

I heard him reply: "After Mr. Zhuang Xuqing returned to his hometown six months ago to set up a private school in Songhe, it was only three months, and there were students who fell ill one after another, and some even died because of it. Mr. Zhuang Xuqing invited all the famous doctors around, but no one knew what disease those children had. If Dr. Kong had gone there to find out the cause of the children's illness and heal them, the news would have spread, and the Confucian Pharmacy would still be thriving in the future. ”

"So, my father should have ......been there before," as he said, it had been three months, and my father had not gone out in Jiangbei City at that time.

"Well, Ling Zun did go there, and as far as I know, Doctor Fang's family in the north of the city was also invited, but they, like the other doctors who went there, did not succeed in healing those children."

Hearing this, she said, "I'll go!" ”

Not only for the prospect of her own pharmacy, but also for the sake of the children who are in school, she also wants to take a look.

Moreover, as a doctor, if you find an incurable disease somewhere, you will generally want to find out.

While speaking, she and Lu Shikang walked out of the Yuzhao Teahouse together, and then took Wang Lu's carriage and sedan chair to the southwest of Jiangbei City.

When you leave the city, you will be greeted by the autumn colors.

The yellow forests all over the mountains, the fallen leaves on the side of the road, and the dead grass that can be seen everywhere can only be described by the word bleak.

After leaving the city, you have passed a few hills that are not high or low, and when you go further southwest, you will find a high mountain, and after passing the high mountain, you will go west, and you will find a lower hill.

Along the way, from time to time, I saw some wild men in mountain villages, some walking on the roadside, some cutting trees on the mountain, some picking up branches on the roadside, and some fishing in the mountain stream.

There are children running through the mountains and chasing each other.

There are also mountain women washing and drying clothes and bedding in their yards.

There are also old men or women who gather around the door of a certain house to talk and laugh.

A look of peace and stability in the present world.

Every day in his own pharmacy, he was either facing patients or medical books, and lived an almost semi-closed life, when he suddenly went out into the wilderness and saw such a leisurely rural scene, and a feeling of great relief rose in his heart.

After about an hour, the carriage passed a mountain lake and came to a mountain.

Since the road up the mountain is narrow and steep, you can only walk off the sedan car.

Wang Lu parked the carriage at the foot of the mountain and guarded it.

Lu Shikang and Qingzhi began to go up the mountain.

Qingzhi looked up at a house covered by yellow leaves on his waist and said, "This is where the Songhe private school is located, right?" ”

After all, there is only one house in the mountains.

"Exactly." Lu Shikang said.

The mountain path is narrow and covered with fallen leaves, so the two of them walked up on the fallen leaves.

When I came to the house I saw at the foot of the mountain, I saw that the courtyard wall of the house was made of bluestone, and the black gate was a little mottled, and it was now tightly closed. The sound of reading came from inside the courtyard wall.

There have been students who are sick, and they can still hear the sound of reading, which makes Qingzhi a little surprised.

She reached out and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a village woman came to open it.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a doctor, and he's my friend who came with me." Qingzhi Road.

"Doctor? My husband doesn't seem to have invited the doctor today. I'll ask first. The village woman said and immediately left the door.

After a while, she returned to the door and said, "Our lord said that he doesn't trust any doctor very much now, and all the doctors here have been invited by him, and no one can see why." If a young doctor like you is here just out of curiosity and insight, please come back......"

From the words of this village woman, Qingzhi understood that when this village woman went to report to Zhuang Xuqing, she said her approximate age by the way.

I don't blame him for thinking too much, if he encounters this situation, he will probably analyze it like this.

"Please go back to Mr. Zhuang and talk about it, just say that the son of Kong Zhongda in Jiangbei City is here."

The village woman went back to report, and after a while, she returned, and said, "My lord said that Dr. Kong Zhongda has not seen any problems before, you are his son, you are under him, you will not be higher than him, so don't interfere with the children's reading again......"

Lu Shikang said at this time: "Please go back and tell your lord that the third son of the Lu Governor's Mansion came to visit." ”

The village woman looked at Lu Shikang in surprise and asked, "You are the third son of the Lu Governor's family?" ”

Lu Shikang nodded.

The village woman hurriedly showed a respectful look and said, "Then please come inside." ”

After Qingzhi saw Lu Shikang bring out his father's name, the village woman didn't even go in to report and let him in, thinking that the official position was really a sharp weapon to knock on the door.

Inside, you can see that the courtyard is divided into two places by a wall, one is a lobby that is ten zhang away from the door, you can hear the faint sound of reading inside, and you can also see the figures of some children sitting dignifiedly. The other is on the east side of the wall, and there is a small door to enter and exit the courtyard over there, which must be where Zhuang Xuqing's family lives.

The village woman walked in front of Lu Shikang and Qingzhi, and she was in a hurry, she was going to hurry to inform the master that the third son of the Lu prefect's family had come to visit here with a doctor.

A moment after she entered the lobby where Qingzhi had just heard the sound of reading, a fairy man walked out of the lobby.

With a thin body and a kind face, Qingzhi said in his heart that this must be Mr. Zhuang Xuqing.

"I don't know if the two distinguished guests are coming, and I hope that the two distinguished guests will forgive their sins......" Zhuang Xuqing bowed his hand and said politely.

"Where, where is it, I came this time, I couldn't say hello in advance, and I hope Mr. Zhuang won't blame me." Lu Shikang said.
