Chapter 163: Visiting Zhou He
Du Ren looked at He Heng, suppressed the scolding words in his stomach, and said casually.
"The queen mother was unfortunately poisoned back then, if she couldn't save her, most of the people in the hospital died, you are my apprentice, and you will definitely not be spared."
"Yes, fortunately, Master's magic hand rejuvenated, and the only one who could compare his medical skills with Master was the Imperial Doctor of Zhou, but unfortunately he lost to Master after all. Even if he knows each other, he doesn't know that his level is enough to leave early, otherwise there will be no place for him in this hospital. ”
Du Ren's eyes lit up slightly, and his face still maintained a casual look, hearing the person he wanted to mention but couldn't take the initiative to mention, Du Ren still had a little love for this apprentice.
"I can't say that, when Zhou He was in the Tai Hospital, I often studied with him, his medical skills were not under me, and it was just a fluke for the teacher to be able to solve the queen's poison back then, and the teacher actually kept him at the beginning, but it's a pity that ......"
"Master is open-minded, but he is a villain, and he feels ashamed and left in a bad mood, why should Master feel sorry for him, I think he deserves to be embarrassed now."
"Oh? Is Zhou He having a bad time now? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Master, you are the imperial doctor of the queen's mother, how can you have time to listen to us talk about gossip all day long, so naturally you haven't heard of it. After Zhou He left the Tai Hospital, he went to Jishitang as a doctor, and he was only willing to treat the poor for many years. ”
When Du Ren heard what he wanted to know most, he lost the idea of chatting with He Heng, and used the excuse of looking for a medical book to send people away.
The night of late autumn was getting darker and earlier, and Zhou He didn't have to keep vigil in Jishitang tonight, so he took advantage of the last ray of light to return home.
It is said that there is no fireworks at home, every day Jishitang provides a meal and a snack, Zhou He is busy and has no time to eat, he will take the dim sum home, and the food will not last long in the middle of summer, Zhou He will eat something in the stalls around the house to fool the past.
Du Ren sat in the carriage and looked at the mottled hut, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
I didn't expect that after so many years, Zhou He has always been under his nose, and it is just convenient for him to live so poorly.
"Doctor Zhou is back? Have you eaten it? I have two roasted sweet potatoes here, you can take them and eat them. ”
"Doctor Zhou, I have two more boiled eggs here, you take them."
"Ah, Dr. Zhou is back? Doctor Zhou, this is my own pickled radish strips, which are fragrant and spicy and go well with rice, you take it. ”
Zhou He walked all the way, he couldn't take it with both hands, these people were all ordinary people who had been treated by himself for free on weekdays, and he didn't feel anything if he didn't accept a penny, but the people who received the favor didn't want to go, so Zhou He generously accepted all the food, anyway, the weather is getting colder and colder, and he is not afraid of bad things.
It was difficult to open the door lock, holding the food in his arms and not closing the door, but the house was empty and there was nothing to worry about the thief, Zhou He raised his foot and hooked the door and walked inside.
Du Ren got out of the carriage and looked at the hidden door, hesitated for a moment, but turned around and took out the sauce beef and two jars of osmanthus wine from Ruyilou from the carriage.
In order to show his sincerity, Du Ren deliberately went home to visit his wife and children, and asked his wife for three hundred taels to go to Ruyi Building for luxury.
Du Ren didn't want to think back to his wife's expression when she heard that it was going to be three hundred taels, and in the end, she couldn't stand Du Ren's intimidation that the whole family would lose their heads if they couldn't handle things, and took out the coffin book she had saved.
Zhou He sat down with the spicy radish strips, poured himself a cheap roast knife, and just pinched a spicy radish strip to his mouth, when suddenly his nose shrugged, and he looked at the spicy radish strips in front of him and was confused.
"Am I hungry? Why do the radish strips smell meat?! Is...... Hey? Why is there still the fragrance of osmanthus? ”
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou's nose is the same as it was back then."
Zhou He looked outside the house, the hidden courtyard door was pushed open at some point, and a man of the same age as himself stood outside his house with an oiled paper bag in his left hand and two jars of wine in his right hand.
"Are you...... Who is it? ”
Du Ren choked for a moment, he has eaten well and dressed well over the years, and his face is much more tender than Zhou He, but he didn't recognize himself at the first time, this person's memory is really poor.
After Zhou He glanced up and down, his attention was all attracted by the wine and meat in Du Ren's hands, the people who were in the same hospital back then didn't bother to remember, and after so many years, they didn't have an impression.
Although people are not impressed, with the blessing of wine and meat, it is enough to exchange for a good impression of Zhou He.
"Dude is here to see a doctor? It doesn't matter if you don't have money, come on, come on, come in, I'll take your pulse. Whether you want to grow old or regain your strength, you are good at it. ”
Zhou He took the sauce beef and osmanthus wine, and ignored Du Ren, whose face was distorted, and went to the house.
As soon as the well-cut red flannel cloth was revealed, the aroma of osmanthus wine suddenly filled Zhou He's simple and monotonous room, adding a bit of elegance to this small dilapidated courtyard.
"Brother Zhou lives here? Tsk, what's going on in winter? ”
Zhou He had already started to enjoy the beef in his left hand and the wine in his right hand, although the words of the person in front of him were a little uncomfortable, but for the sake of this delicious wine and food, Zhou He endured it.
"It's okay, it's okay to get used to it, let's talk about it, is it to see a doctor or a prescription?"
Du Ren flicked his sleeves in disgust and dusted off the bench, which looked crumbling as it had been eaten by insects, and he was really afraid that he would fall on his ass as soon as he sat on it.
"I'm not here to see a doctor or a prescription today, I want to ask Brother Zhou to take a look at someone."
"Oh, who are you going to see? How much does it cost? ”
"This person's status is noble, forgive me for not divulging it, as for the consultation fee, as long as Brother Zhou is well treated, how much he wants."
Du Ren looked at Zhou He's appearance of burying his head in a big meal, his temples jumped suddenly, his impression of Dr. Zhou was not like such a rough person, sure enough, the hard life has been too long, and his words and deeds are full of gangsterism.
"What you said, I'm a doctor and not a god, and there are many diseases that can't be cured, so according to what you mean, if you can't be cured, you won't give money? Then I'm not going. ”
Du Ren rolled his eyes silently, can't he cure it and have no money? Oh, it's not just that you don't have money, you will die!
"Brother Zhou, you can't say that, you have already eaten my beef sauce and osmanthus wine, these two things cost me three hundred taels of silver, and your consultation fee of three hundred taels should be enough."
Zhou He swallowed the last bite of beef with difficulty, and waited for the discomfort in his throat to pass before staring at Du Ren who was sitting precariously.
"Three hundred taels?! Don't fool me for not knowing how to do it, when did the price of this Li Ji sauce beef become so high?! ”
"This is not Li Ji sauce beef, this is Ruyi Building, if you don't believe it, you can go to Ruyi Building to ask."
Zhou He looked at the sauced beef that had been eaten by himself, as well as the two jars of cinnamon wine that had been opened, and immediately regretted wanting to slap him, but he couldn't help but wrap himself in for a while? Wait a minute!
"I said you, you, I'm talking about the consultation fee, what do you mean by using this beef and wine? Well, even if it's worth three hundred taels as you said, it's not real money, unless you bring another three hundred taels, I won't agree, oh yes, three hundred taels...... Gold. ”
Du Renteng stood up suddenly, looked at Zhou He who was starting to pick his teeth in front of him with an unkind face, and grinded his teeth.
This person has not changed, and he still annoys himself to the extreme!
