It always rains at night in Shengjing.

The night passed, and the river under the Falling Moon Bridge was full of floating poplars.

The swallow is busy with the warbler, and the willow flowers on the embankment are falling, which is always the most beautiful scene in spring.

Yinzheng went downstairs to get hot water, and met the shopkeeper, she was delicate and sweet, and the people in the inn were also happy to take care of her. The shopkeeper smiled: "The silver kite girl woke up so early? ”

Yin Zheng smiled: "Yes." ”

The shopkeeper looked upstairs: "Your girl was busy in the back kitchen last night until the third watch, you should persuade a little, it's not good to burn down." ”

A few days ago, Lu Tong asked Yinzheng to take the money to buy some herbs nearby, and borrowed the kitchen of the inn to concoct medicinal materials, and he was busy late at night. The shopkeeper didn't say it on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart. Concocting medicinal materials is a handicraft job, and those doctors in the city sometimes miss, Lu Tong is a young girl, how can she do it? It's not a big deal.

Pretending not to see the contempt in the shopkeeper's eyes, Yinzheng smiled with the other party a few more words, and then went upstairs and entered the house.

In the room, Lu Tong sat at the table, wrapped the cloth bag wrapped in the medicinal tea in white paper, carefully tied it with thick red thread, and put it into the box.

"Girl?"

Lu Tong stood up: "Let's go." ”

Out of the inn, the weather outside was excellent. In the early morning, the sun was not too hot, and the fluffy layer was on the body, bringing a slight itch.

There are tea stalls everywhere, Shengjing people love to drink tea, tea houses can be seen everywhere on the street, and people who eat tea can be seen everywhere. In the distance, the sound of pear orchards wafted away, embellishing Shengjing with a lively atmosphere.

"Sheng Jing is good." Yin Zheng whispered: "It's just that things are too expensive." ”

Lu Tong was silent.

Before Yun Niang died, she asked her to burn all the medical books in the box with her body, and the rest of the silver was left to her. But over the years, Yun Niang has spent a lot of money, and the money she earned turned around and bought new medicinal materials, and Lu Tong dealt with Yun Niang's funeral, and there was not much money left in her hand.

It costs a lot to go all the way back to Changwu County and enter Beijing. Yin Zheng had calculated a few days ago that he would go to buy herbs, and the remaining silver would allow them to live in Shengjing for another half a month.

At most, after half a month, they really have nothing.

After thinking about it, the two walked through a few more alleys, walked along a bustling street, turned a street corner, and a medical hall appeared in front of them.

This medical hall is particularly out of place among the neatly renovated shops. The shop is very small, the plaque is very old, and there are four big characters written on the top of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing "Renxin Medical Hall". It is in an excellent location, but it is very inconspicuous because of the furnishings, and it is difficult for passers-by to notice it.

Lu Tong walked towards the medical hall.

When I got closer, I found that the medical hall was even more deserted. There was a table in front of it, and it was so long that it almost blocked the entrance to the store. At the table sat a young man in a warbler yellow gauze jacket, dozing off with one leg crossed. Behind him, there was a whole wall of mahogany cabinets, with wooden signs on them, which were medicine cabinets.

The windows in this clinic are small, and the shop is not large, so the light is very dim. There was no light, it was gray, and it was a little gloomy to look at.

Yinzheng cleared his throat and was about to speak, when out of the room came a young man in a short shirt, about eleven or twelve years old, with some pockmarks on the bridge of his nose. Seeing Lu Tong and the others, the young man was also stunned for a moment, and then walked to the dozing young man and shouted loudly: "Boss, there is a guest here!" ”

The young man was suddenly frightened by this, almost fell, and hurriedly got up from his chair, and put on a hypocritical smile at Lu Hitomi and the two: "Hey, what do you want to buy?" ”

Yinzheng glanced at him strangely, what he said was not like opening a medical hall, like doing business.

Lu Tong opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what medicinal materials your medical hall can receive?" ”

Seeing that he was not here to grab the medicine, the young man immediately returned to the muddy appearance of Fang Cai, only glanced at her, and asked with interest, "What medicinal materials do you have?" ”

Yinzheng hurriedly opened the bag and took out a large paper bag from it.

The other party opened the paper bag, skillfully picked up a little and put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it, rubbed it again, and saw that Lu Tong's eyes were a little more surprised, and he said, "Pu Huang Tan." It's not bad to fry. ”

Pu Huang charcoal is used frequently in the medical hall, and raw Pu Huang is not expensive, Lu Tong borrowed the back kitchen of the inn to fry these.

Yin Zheng was worried that Lu Tong would not accept these medicinal herbs in the medical hall, but when he heard this, he was half relieved, and said with a smile: "My girl's fried Puhuang charcoal has always been good, and the shopkeeper looks at ......."

This time her smile was not as invincible as before, and the young man stretched out three fingers and shook them: "Three coins of silver." ”

Lu Tong frowned slightly.

It cost her three dollars to buy these raw puhuang alone, not to mention that she had been busy in the kitchen of the inn for a few days. This price is much lower than the one on the market.

"What?" Silver Kite jumped up, "That's it?" Raw puhuang is not only this price! ”

The proprietor closed the paper package, still a picture with no spirit, pointed to the door, and said in an unceremonious tone: "It's just a little bit, it's too little, go out and turn left, there is an apricot forest hall." The family is big, you go and try it, maybe you can give more. ”

His appearance of a broken jar was annoying to look at, and Yin Zheng was about to argue with him, but Lu Tong had already pushed the paper bag in front of the other party: "Three coins are three coins." ”

Seeing this, the smile on the young man's face became more sincere, and he instructed the young man behind him: "Ah Cheng, take the silver!" ”

The young man named Ah Cheng quickly took out a dime of silver, Lu Tong took the money, and took out two other pieces of oiled paper from the baggage.

The proprietor frowned: "What is this?" ”

Lu Tong: "Medicinal tea." ”

The proprietor pushed the medicinal tea back, and smiled insincerely: "Sorry girl, the medical hall does not accept medicinal tea." ”

"Don't want money, count as a match." Lu Tong put the medicinal tea on the table, "The decoction can reduce the suffocation of the nose, and send two pieces to the owner first." If you are satisfied, you can send it separately. She said, "I live in the Falling Moon Bridge Descending Yi Inn." ”

The proprietor looked at Lu Tong, Lu Tong looked at him indifferently, and after a while, the young man pursed his lips, put away the two bags of medicinal tea, and only waved his hand and said, "Then thank you, girl." ”

Lu Tong didn't say anything more, and left with Yinzheng.

After the two left, the young man came forward and wondered: "The owner, I usually collect five dollars of silver from Puhuang charcoal, why did I suddenly change the price today?" And three coins of silver is the price of raw puhuang, and they don't make a profit, how can they still sell it? ”

The proprietor cut Ah Cheng's head open, and walked into the house with Pu Huang Tan: "How do you know that people didn't make money, didn't you give two packs of medicinal tea?" ”

The young man looked down at the medicinal tea on the table, the paper bag of the medicinal tea was only the size of a palm, and it was thinly tied with red thread, which looked very delicate at first glance.

Ah Cheng suddenly said: "They want to sell medicinal tea on consignment?" ”

"Or else?" The owner scolded: "There is no free lunch in the world, it's really stupid to be a person, otherwise you don't go to the Xinglin Hall in front of you, come to us to sell medicine, do you think you have taken a fancy to the young master's face?" ”

The young man looked at the medicinal tea on the table: "The owner, is this medicinal tea still sold?" ”

"Sell a fart!" The proprietor angrily opened the curtain and walked inside, "Who knows if something from an unknown source is poisonous or not!" Who will settle accounts with those who have eaten the dead! I still have to try this Pu Huang Tan, there are many liars in the capital, and there are many female liars. ”

He chattered into the inner room and threw down a sentence: "Go back and throw it away, don't mix it with other medicines." ”

Ah Cheng answered, looked at the medicinal tea in front of him again, and shook his head.

It's a shame.

……

Outside, Lu Tong and Yin Zheng were walking forward.

Yinzheng was still worried about Fang Cai's affairs, and said unwillingly: "We have been going all the way in the past few days, and Pu Huangtan is all five coins of silver, and this family only gives three coins of silver." What else is the 'Benevolent Medical Hall', I think it's the 'Black Heart Medical Hall' is pretty much the same! Girl," she looked at Lu Tong puzzled, "I made a few packets of medicinal tea in total, why don't you send a few more packets to Xinglintang, but give them to this consignment instead?" ”

She didn't understand that the shopkeeper of Xinglintang gave money very happily when he received medicinal herbs, and he was much more upright than the "owner" just now. The medical hall is also large, the repair is bright, and the people come and go, no matter how you look at it, it is better than the Renxin Medical Center.

Lu Tong shook his head and said softly: "In the Renxin Medical Hall, there is no doctor sitting in the hall. ”

Along the way, they have seen many medical centers, and most of the doctors in the clinics are elderly doctors. And in this benevolent medical hall, except for the "owner" and the young man named Ah Cheng, there was no one else.

The Renxin Medical Center is short of people.

Yinzheng was surprised: "The girl wants to be a doctor in the hall." ”

Lu Tong was silent for a moment and nodded.

She was in the capital, and there was nothing but a silver kite and a medical box. But the Ke family's business is booming.

Renxin Medical Center is short of people, and it is located on West Street, and the distance from Ke Zhai is not close, and it is not far away.

She needed an identity.

An identity that can approach the Ke family quietly, but is upright.

The doctor in the hospital is the best.

"But ......" Yinzheng hesitated, in this world, there are very few women practicing medicine, let alone being a doctor in the hall.

"Let's keep walking." Lu Tong retracted his thoughts, "Sell the rest of the Puhuang charcoal." ”
