Chapter 64: A Chance Encounter

Two more young girls came to the Renxin Medical Center, and they became lively all of a sudden.

In the past, when Lu Tong didn't come, there were only Ah Cheng and Du Changqing in the shop, but now there are four more girls like flowers and jade, and even the plum tree at the door looks much more pleasing to the eye.

When the scorching sun was over, the summer cicadas on the trees at the door were singing, and the noise made people dizzy, Du Changqing came in from outside, and put a few bowls of slurry water in his hand on the table: "Drink tea!" ”

Yin Zheng, who was helping Lu Tong sort out the medicine cabinet, glanced at it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Du Changqing crossed his waist and said proudly: "A new slurry shop has been opened at the entrance of Xijiekou, three copper plates, buy a bowl and get a bowl free." The proprietor is the host, please drink, no money. ”

"Thank you, cousin." Xia Rongrong, who was embroidering a handkerchief with vanilla, thanked softly.

Xia Rongrong didn't know medicinal materials, and it was not easy to rob Yinzheng and Ah Cheng's work, so she sat in the shop in a regular manner during the day, doing embroidery work with vanilla, but it was also quiet.

Du Changqing taught them to divide the water of the pulp, and he bought miscellaneous, such as pear pulp, ginger honey water, apricot crisp drink, jasmine soup, ice and snow cold yuanzi......

Lu Tong was given a bowl of ginger honey water, which had been soaked in an ice bucket in advance and filled with an emerald green bamboo tube, which made the slurry water as clear as amber.

She lowered her head and took a sip, sweet, cold and cold. And when he looked up again, he saw that the faces of the people were patient.

Du Changqing asked, "How is it?" Without waiting for the others to answer, he took a sip of his own.

The next moment, the man couldn't help but choke: "Ahem, cough, cough!" What is this? ”

What?

Xia Rongrong on the other end frowned and said, "It's a little too sweet." ”

Even Ah Cheng, who loves sugar the most, wrinkled his nose: "Owner, this is putting sugar in the water, this is forgetting to put water in the sugar." ”

Although the silver kite and vanilla did not speak, they placed the bowl of syrup water far away, and seemed unwilling to take another sip.

Du Changqing said angrily: "Good guy, the person who bought the slurry told me that it was not sweet and didn't want money, but it was true." Is there something wrong with this person's brain, who does he want to kill so sweetly? ”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Lu Tong continued to drink the slurry water in the bowl without any expression, and said angrily: "Don't drink it, why don't you save money for me on weekdays, who is responsible for drinking people's lives?" ”

Lu Tong was silent.

Du Changqing thought about it, and looked at her suspiciously: "Don't you feel embarrassed?" ”

"It's fine."

Du Changqing stared at her incredulously: "You won't tell me, this is very much to your taste?" ”

Lu Tong: "If the store doesn't close, I will continue to patronize his business." ”

She adds: "One bowl a day. ”

The crowd was silent.

Du Changqing choked, and after a while, he nodded: "Yes, admire, it seems that whether the slurry shop can be opened on West Street in the future depends on your patronage, Dr. Lu." ”

Lu Tong expressed her support for the pulp shop with the action of drinking all the slurry water.

After drinking, Lu Tong put the empty bamboo tube aside, and Yinzheng entered the small courtyard and came out with Lu Tong's medical box.

The other people in the hospital were not surprised, and Du Changqing waved his hand at the two of them: "Go early and come back early." ”

Yin Zheng was speechless: "Got it." ”

Today is the day to treat Mrs. Fan.

Lu Tong made an appointment with Mrs. Fan to come to the door every seven days to administer needles to Mrs. Fan. Today is the third time.

went out, and when Lu Tong and Yinzheng arrived at Fan's mansion, Fan's wife Zhao had just woken up from a nap.

Seeing Lu Tong, Zhao beckoned and motioned for Lu Tong to come in and administer the needle.

As usual, Lu Tong took out the golden needle from the medical box and crossed the acupoint for the Zhao family.

The maid Cui'er was fanning behind her, Zhao closed her eyes slightly, and asked Lu Tong lazily: "Doctor Lu, how many more days will this needle have?" ”

Lu Tong pierced a golden needle and said: "Madame has now cleared up, and it is at a critical time, if the needle is stopped at this time, it will be useless after a period of time, in order to consolidate more, it is better to spend two more months with needles." ”

"Two more months?"

"After that, the needle crossing will be every ten days, a total of six times in two months, what does Madame think?"

Zhao sighed: "Okay." ”

Lu Tong stopped talking, and worked hard for the Zhao family.

Zhao raised his eyelids and glanced at the busy Lu Tong, then put it down again, a satisfied smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth.

She was very satisfied with Lu Tong.

To be precise, it was the Zhao family who was very satisfied with Lu Tong's ability to cross the acupoint. These days, I don't know if it's "Slim" or Lu Tong who comes to the door every few days to cross the hole for her, Zhao's waist has really lost weight, and the skirts in the past have been a little looser.

This simply made Zhao ecstatic.

She was still skeptical of what Lu Tong said, but now that she has seen the results with her own eyes, she is finally relieved.

After losing some weight, Zhao asked his subordinates to go to Shengjing's Light Pavilion to make several moonlight gauze dresses. After she cleared it, she lightened her makeup, and her tulle skirt was elegant and fairy, which was completely different from the delicate and elegant in the past, but Fan Zhenglian was fresh for a long time, and the love between husband and wife was better than in the past. It won't be long before he can really become the one who dances in the palm of his hand, worthy of the name of "Feiyan".

Speaking of Lu Tong, Zhao noticed that every time Lu Tong came to the door, he left in the afternoon and before evening, which happened to avoid the days when Fan Zhenglian was on a bad day. In addition, Lu Tong was silent, and he never asked much when he entered the mansion, and it was also his duty to look at it.

This makes Zhao very satisfied, and people who are interested are always reassuring. Otherwise, such a young doctor girl is in the house, and she is really afraid that Fan Zhenglian will become lustful one day.

This medical woman didn't see her restless mind for the time being, and the Zhao family was not as mean as she was before.

About an hour and a half later, Lu Tong finished administering the needle to Zhao, and Zhao asked the maid Cui'er to take her to the next room for a cup of tea.

Cui'er sent tea and consultation money, Zhao is not a generous person, the consultation fee is very small, as for the medicinal tea sent, it is all about it, and Lu Tong did not take the initiative to mention it.

When Lu Tong was drinking tea, Yinzheng stuffed a small jar into Cui'er's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Cui'er, this is the hair oil made by Dr. Lu himself, and there are medicinal herbs in it, and after wiping it for a long time, the hair will become brighter and brighter." ”

Cui'er excused: "How can you still take Dr. Lu's things......"

"It's not worth much," Yin Zheng said with a smile, "I wanted to give Mrs. a few cans, but Dr. Lu thought that Mrs. Suri's cream was expensive, and I was afraid that she wouldn't look down on us, so Miss Cui'er shouldn't dislike it." ”

Cui'er put the jar in her sleeve and smiled more genuinely than before: "Then thank you Dr. Lu." ”

Lu Tong shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip of the hot tea in his hand.

Cui'er is Zhao's personal maidservant, a little favor, not to buy Cui'er, but it can make the relationship between Yinzheng and Cui'er much closer.

When the relationship is close, the mouth is loose.

Lu Tong finished drinking tea, got up to say goodbye, Cui'er sent the two of them out, and when she passed by the flower hall, she bumped into a man head-on.

The other party whispered "I'm sorry", Lu Tong looked in front of him, it was a tall middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a white-washed agarwood-colored cloth robe, which was clearly a majestic appearance, but his expression was very humble.

This person Lu Tong has seen it before, I don't know what the relationship is with the Fan family, there have been a few times when Lu Tong went out after the diagnosis, he bumped into this man at the door, most of the time, this man asked the Fan family's subordinates to hand over some gifts and so on.

This is the first time I have entered the inner courtyard like this.

Lu Tong glanced at him, and another maid of the Zhao clan was directing the man to take the things in his hand to the yard and put them down, vaguely some pheasants, geese and ducks and other dirt objects.

The man bypassed Lu Tong, wiped his sweat, and said to Zhao Shi, who was enjoying the cool air in the flower hall, through the courtyard door: "Madam......"

"Got it." Zhao sounded impatient.

This person was a little cramped, and left in a hurry after saying a few words to the Zhao maid.

Lu Tong looked at his back, and asked Cui'er as he walked forward: "...... is he?"

Cui'er said with a smile: "That's Lord Qi from the Trial Court, and it's our master's right-hand man." ”

Right-hand man?

Lu Tong remembered the white-washed old robe on the man's body just now, and the appearance of the Zhao family's maid treating him with arrogance, as if unintentionally: "Lord Fan values him very much?" ”

"Of course, it's heavy." Xu was because of Lu Tong's head oil, and Cui'er was also willing to say a few more words to them: "When the master came back from Yuan'an County, he also deliberately brought Lord Qi back to Shengjing together. Speaking of this, Cui'er was a little strange, "Why did Doctor Lu ask about Lord Qi?" ”

Yinzheng pushed Cui'er and laughed in a low voice: "That adult looks good, and his momentum is not great......

Cui'er understood, covered her mouth and said: "That's a pity, Lord Qi already has a wife and children, but it's ......" She glanced at Lu Tong and didn't continue.

Lu Tong knew very well her eyes, and in the eyes of the people of Fanfu, a low-born medical girl sitting in the hall was good even if she was married to a petty official as a concubine.

After leaving the gate of Fan's Mansion and Cui'er left, Lu Tong stood at the door and turned around to look at the plaque on the door of Fan's Mansion.

Yinzheng asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

"I'm thinking about ......"

Lu Tong's voice was very soft: "The person I saw just now." ”

"Lord Qi?" Yinzheng was stunned.

Lu Tong said: "He has a problem. ”

Cui'er said that Lord Qi was a person who valued Fan Zhenglian, so she brought him back to Shengjing from Yuan'an County, but looking at the clothes and accessories of Lord Qi and his status in Fan's Mansion, it is not difficult to see that he is living in embarrassment.

This is strange, how could Fan Zhenglian's right-hand man be so confused?

And Cui'er said that he came back from Yuan'an County......

In other words, this Lord Qi has been by Fan Zhenglian's side since the beginning of his career, and must know a lot of Fan Zhenglian's secrets.

"Yinzheng, you ask Cao Ye to inquire, the Lord Qi just now."

She needs to know the details of this Lord Qi in order to prescribe the right medicine.

"Girl," Yin Zheng was a little embarrassed, "all the money we earned was filled into the Happy Building, except for food." Cao Ye's news is expensive, and the dividends are not enough to spend, so if you want to inquire about the news, you can only pay money on credit with the shopkeeper Du. ”

"Then on credit." Lu Tong retracted his gaze and walked forward.

Yinzheng was helpless, so he had to hurry up and follow, only took two steps, and suddenly said "Huh".

Lu Tong stopped: "What's wrong?" ”

Yin Zheng pointed across the street: "It seems to be Duan Xiaogongzi next to Master Pei?" ”

Lu Tong was stunned, followed the gaze of Yin Zheng, and saw that in the shade of the tea stall opposite, sitting with his back to her and drinking tea. Because he couldn't see his face, he couldn't tell whether it was Duan Xiaoyan or not.

She frowned: "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" ”

Yinzheng was very confident: "I can't be wrong, I have seen a lot of people in the past, and I can see that people are very good." After that, he took the initiative to wave his hand to the street and shouted: "Duan Xiaogongzi! ”

After a while, the people sitting at the tea stall turned around slowly, and when they saw Lu Tong and the others, they were also stunned, and then they showed surprise on their faces, got up and walked forward and said, "Doctor Lu, Miss Yinzheng." ”

Sure enough, it was a small banquet.

Lu Tong's eyes glanced around Duan Xiaoyan's side, but he didn't see Pei Yunyao, so he asked, "Why is Duan Xiaogongzi here?" ”

"I'm busy with official business, passing by here, I sat down for a cup of tea by the way, but I didn't expect to meet Dr. Lu." He smiled enthusiastically and asked Lu Tong again: "What about Dr. Lu?" ”

"I'm here to treat people."

Duan Xiaoyan let out an "oh", looked into the distance, and said to Lu Tong embarrassedly: "That Doctor Lu, I still have official business, I have to go first." Wait for a few days to rest, I will ask the adults to patronize your hospital again, that medicinal tea last time was really useful"

Lu Tong bowed at him: "Duan Gongzi walks slowly." ”

Duan Xiaoyan left quickly, Lu Tong looked at his back and didn't speak for a long time.

Yinzheng reminded: "Isn't the girl leaving?" ”

Lu Tong retracted his gaze: "Let's go." ”

……

Duan Xiaoyan returned to the palace marshal's mansion, and his colleague guard Mu Lian was returning from the martial arts arena, saying that Xiao Zhufeng had bought plums in the camp and asked him to go inside to eat them.

Duan Xiaoyan waved his hand and asked Mu Lian, "Is the adult inside?" ”

"Not there." Mu Lian took a bite of the green-skinned plum in her hand, and was so sour that she couldn't open her eyes for a long time, "Is there something wrong with finding an adult?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Mulian entered, Gardenia ran out of the corner, his head rubbed and rubbed in his arms, Duan Xiaoyan squatted on the ground, rubbed the dog's head absentmindedly, and whispered to himself: "It's really evil, so far away, I don't see my face, how did you recognize me?" ”

Someone behind him asked, "What did you recognize?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan was excited, and when he turned around, he saw Pei Yunyi walking in from outside the door.

On a summer day, he was still wearing the vermilion brocade robe of the front division of the palace, and the collar was neatly buttoned, not half of the heat, but Fengyi was refreshing.

"Brother, are you back?" Duan Xiaoyan stood up and followed him into the camp.

As soon as they entered the door, the two were stunned for a moment.

There were more than a dozen bamboo baskets piled up at the door of the barracks of the palace marshal's mansion, and the bamboo baskets were full of cyan plums.

Pei Yunyi frowned: "What is it?" ”

Mu Lian hurriedly said, "Deputy Envoy Xiao sent it." said that it was hot, and specially bought it to quench the thirst of the brothers. The deputy envoy also specially selected a basket of the best ones to put in your room. ”

Seeing that Pei Yunyi was silent, Huang Song next to him also said: "The plums bought by the deputy envoy are very delicious, but they are a little sour." ”

Pei Yunyao stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead: "...... Got it. After taking two steps, he turned back and couldn't bear to say, "Move to the courtyard, don't pile up at the door." ”

"Yes."

Pei Yunyao entered his room, turned his head, saw that Duan Xiaoyan was still there, and asked, "Something?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan turned around and closed the door, and waited for Pei Yunyao to sit down at the table before stepping forward: "Brother, today Doctor Lu from the Renxin Medical Center has gone to the Fan Mansion again." ”

"Hmm."

“…… I said hi to her. ”

Pei Yunyi poured the tea.

He raised his eyes: "Exposed? ”

"Wronged!" Duan Xiaoyan exclaimed, "It's so hot, I'll go to the opposite tea stall to drink a bowl of tea, who knew that Dr. Lu would go out so coincidentally." I was still facing away from her, across the street, brother, you may not be able to recognize me, who knows how she recognized me? ”

Pei Yunyao glanced at him, lowered his head and drank tea: "What did she say?" ”

"Didn't say anything. I said I was passing by on an errand, and she didn't suspect it, so I left. ”

Pei Yunyi nodded.

Seeing that he didn't react, Duan Xiaoyan became a little bolder and said, "Brother, I've been staring at the Fan family for half a month, and Doctor Lu hasn't done anything else except to give Mrs. Fan an injection." Her medicinal tea sells well, Mrs. Fan likes it, and it doesn't hinder our palace. Are you too nervous about her? ”

Pei Yunyao closed the tea lid: "Trust her so much?" ”

"It's not trust." Duan Xiaoyan's tone was sincere: "The main day is to keep an eye on it, the cost of carriage and horses, the cost of tea, and the cost of eating out...... The moonsilver is not enough to spend, brother, you can lend me a little......" He said as he touched his waist, and suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?"

Duan Xiaoyan looked at him: "My purse is gone." ”

"Stolen?"

"Not really, there's no silver in it."

Pei Yunyi was speechless: "Then you are crying with a sad face." ”

"You gave me that purse!" Duan Xiaoyan shouted: "When I first entered the front division of the hall, you gave me a purse with my name on it. ”

Pei Yunyao reminded him: "Think about where you lost it, have you looked for it in the camp?" ”

"I can't remember, I still have the checkout when I drink tea opposite Fan's house in the afternoon, ah!" His eyes moved, "Could it be that I fell off when I talked to Dr. Lu?" I was in a hurry, and I was in a hurry, so I might have fallen off at the door of Fan's house. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yunyi's originally lazy posture sat up a little straighter, and asked him, "You said Lu Tong picked it up?" ”

"It's just possible." Duan Xiaoyan scratched his head, "It's not easy to ask people." ”

"Why don't you ask?" Pei Yunyi asked rhetorically.

Duan Xiaoyan was surprised: "There is not a single copper plate in the purse, what does Doctor Lu want it to do?" Besides, if I really asked her, Dr. Lu thought that I suspected her of stealing things, and if others heard it, they would suspect Mrs. Lu of bad character, how bad it would be. ”

Pei Yunyi: "It's hard for you to think thoughtfully for her." ”

Without waiting for Duan Xiaoyan to speak, he continued to speak: "I'll accompany you to the Renxin Medical Center in a few days." ”

Duan Xiaoyan looked at him in disbelief: "Do you really want to ask Doctor Lu?" Why? ”

"Because your name is on the purse."

"Name?"

"It's just a matter of being picked up by others, being picked up by Lu Tong, I'm afraid that you will be sold and will be counted for money."

Duan Xiaoyan was puzzled: "What can that purse sell me?" ”

"That's a lot," Pei Yunyi smiled: "For example, ......"

"Blackmail."

"Threatened?" Duan Xiaoyan was surprised, "What can you blackmail me with a purse?" I'm not a woman, can you use this as a token of love to force me to marry her? As he spoke, he was stunned, thought for a while, and muttered: "It's not impossible to say this, she can recognize me with just one back today, which shows that I am very impressed in Dr. Lu's heart...... But I haven't reached the crown yet, and I can't make decisions about marriage yet......"

He said to himself, unexpectedly a stack of thick scrolls was patted on the top of his head, Pei Yunyi got up and passed by him, and said, "Okay, if there is really that day, I, as half of your elders, will definitely give you a rich gift." ”

"I wish the two talented women and their good matches."
