On the fifteenth day after the small summer, Shengjing ushered in the big heat.

This was the hottest time of the year in the Liang Dynasty, and the thunderstorm made the dampness and heat on the ground heavier, and the weather was so stuffy that the bamboo was covered with sticky panic.

As soon as the heat and humidity are heavy, there are many fewer people going to the hospital during the day.

Du Changqing loaded the red dates on the miscellaneous plate, put them on the table in front of the counter, and beckoned Ah Cheng to come over and eat. Yinzheng piled the bamboo tubes that had drunk the slurry water together, and put the jasmine flowers that Xia Rongrong bought when filling the water, and the whole shop was fragrant.

Hu Yuanwai came to the hospital early in the morning and asked Ah Cheng to make him tea.

At this time, there were no poplar flowers flying, and Hu Yuanwai's suffocation was not committed. In addition, now that "Xian Xian" is selling well, Du Changqing can make ends meet, Hu Yuanwai did not deliberately take care of the business, and Lu Tong has not seen him for about half a month.

It's rare to see him come to the hospital again today.

Du Changqing grabbed a handful of red dates from the tea tray and gave them to Hu Yuanwai, leaned against the table and asked him, "Uncle, what wind blew you here?" ”

Hu Yuanwai waved his hand: "Don't eat, the old man has a toothache for almost a month, please ask Dr. Lu to give me a look." ”

Lu Tong washed his hands and asked Hu Yuanwai to open his mouth to take a closer look before he said, "Worm teeth." ”

"How's that for good?" Hu Yuanwai asked: "The old man can't eat these days, and he can't sleep at night, it's really tormenting, does Dr. Lu have a way?" ”

"I asked Ah Cheng to grab some bellflower and coix roots, and Mr. Hu fried them with water." Lu Tong sat down at the table and took up a pen to write the recipe, "Fine bitterness, bitter ginseng, evil truth, and rinse forward." If you have apricots, you can chew one or two raw after eating. ”

She raised her head and handed the written recipe to Ah Cheng: "After using it for a few days, raspberries will be insects and will not be difficult to treat." ”

When Hu Yuanwai heard this, he put his mind at ease, and praised Lu Tong while waiting for Ah Cheng to grab the medicine: "The old man said that in the entire West Street, there is no second doctor like Lu Dafu, who is a good character, has good skills, is young, and has good medical skills, which is a hundred times better than a man." Changqing, don't just care about being amorous and gossiping every day, you are young, you have to grow up. ”

Du Changqing rolled his eyes: "Uncle, I look at the hospital every day, how can I grow, cantilever and thorn the strands?" ”

Hu Yuanwai hated the iron and taught him a lesson: "What's wrong with the cantilever beam? When your father was alive, he often told me that you were a smart man, but unfortunately he didn't like to read. If you put your mind into playing, how good is it to get a good name? ”

"Come on, that fame is not something I can get in if I want to, you haven't seen Wu Xiucai in the fresh fish shop, and you haven't been able to pass the exam for so many years." Du Changqing threw a red date into his mouth, "This person, each has his own life, when to be an official, how big an official he can be, his life is written." ”

"My life says I'm like this." Du Changqing chewed red dates, "I know enough." ”

These words were so angry that Hu Yuanwai's beard stood up: "I'm really not ashamed, but proud!" ”

Lu Tong put away the pen and paper and asked, "Wu Xiucai?" Is it the one who lives in the fresh fish shop at Miaokou? ”

Hu Yuanwai said: "Yes, how can Dr. Lu know each other?" ”

"He asked me to go to his home to treat his mother."

Hu Yuanwai sighed: "I see, Youcai has always been very filial, and I want to take a meritorious test to teach his mother to be happy, but it's a pity that ...... Ay! ”

Lu Tong got up and walked to the inner shop, took the teapot in Ah Cheng's hand, mint water was boiled in the teapot to clear the heat and relieve the heat, Lu Tong poured a cup and handed it to Hu Yuanwai, and asked: "Wu Xiucai has not been on the list for many years...... Is the article bad? If it's bad, why be so persistent? ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yuanwai immediately jumped up: "Who said that?" Wu Xiucai's article, that's a top one! ”

Everyone in the room was staring at him.

Hu Yuanwai took Lu Tong's teacup, poured it hard, and said angrily: "Then Wu Xiucai grew up with an old man, and the articles he wrote when he was thirteen or fourteen years old were very beautiful." He has good qualifications and a good memory, not only the old man, but also the children next to him are convinced when they see the articles he wrote. We all say that he is like this, why don't you earn a champion and come back to shine on the lintel, who knows...... Ay! ”

He muttered, "Why didn't you pass the exam?" ”

Du Changqing, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement: "So I said, this person has his own life, and Wu Xiucai is a white body in his life, and he fails to take the exam every year, and he is doing something blind." ”

"You know what?" Hu Yuanwai seemed to feel very sorry for Wu Xiucai, and was furious when he heard this: "He is a person who knows everything in history and books, and he is such an article, it is rare to fail the exam!" Xu is that the official star has not arrived in the past few years, and it is good if he can't keep it all this year, so he will go back and let him go to the temple to put two pillars of incense on Wenqu Xing. ”

Du Changqing sneered: "Give Wenqu Xing two pillars of incense...... It would be useful for you to have him send two stacks of silver tickets to the examiner. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence around.

Lu Tong looked at Du Changqing, Hu Yuanwai was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, shaking his hand and pointing at Du Changqing: "What did you say?" ”

"Hey, I didn't say that, I heard someone else say it." Du Changqing leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Originally, I had a friend, his cousin couldn't understand a word, and he was more wasteful than me, but then he actually won the list." Later, he himself got drunk and said that he leaked his mouth, saying that he had bribed the examiner. ”

Du Changqing said: "Wu Xiucai, who sells fish, is so poor that he can't afford to look down on him, and he doesn't have the money to take care of the etiquette department, he deserves to be given a quota, I don't understand this, and he still says that he is a nerd!" ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Hu Yuanwai interrupted him, "If you and I hear such slanderous words, you and I will be in trouble." Changqing, you must be cautious when you speak, otherwise you will cause trouble, and the old man will not be able to save you! ”

Having said that, Hu Yuanwai's face was a little cloudy. After all, before Old Man Du passed away, Du Changqing did have a group of fox friends and dog friends who were playing on horses, and these news may not be true.

Du Changqing shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head and shaved the red dates in the tea tray indiscriminately: "Uncle, of course I know that I can't say this to the outside world, but I think Wu Xiucai's success list this year may not be big, there are newcomers to pay tribute every year, and he has to be ranked backwards, this is something that is not expected, it is in vain to do it, it is better to give up as soon as possible." ”

"You!"

Lu Tong asked: "There is chaos in the examination room, why don't you tell the heavens?" Fraud is a felony. ”

Hu Yuanwai wanted to speak and stopped, but Du Changqing had no scruples, and said with a smile: "If there is no evidence, how can you tell God?" Maybe the petition was written during the day, but the person who wrote the petition was arrested at night. The grades that have been replaced are all white-bodied scholars, who can stand up to being an enemy of the government? If you fail the exam, you will lose your career, and if you are the enemy of the official, you will lose your life. ”

He "tsk" a few times, shook his head and sighed: "Who told us to be powerless?" In this world, whoever is the master has the final say. ”

Hu Yuanwai's face was gloomy, as if he was angered by Du Changqing's words, but he was helpless, and he endured it for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "People see the present, and the sky sees a long time." Maybe what will happen in the future, the old man will definitely be able to go to high school when he watches the show, and he is destined to be prominent! ”

Du Changqing stretched: "Uncle, who did you deceive with this?" He thought for a while, "But I heard that Your Majesty has heard about fraud in recent years, maybe this year's strict investigation report can really give Wu Xiucai a chance to come out." ”

These words were perfunctory and comforting, Hu Yuanwai's face did not improve, and after a moment of silence, he changed his words: "Don't mention this matter, Changqing, Xinglintang hasn't been bothering you recently, right?" ”

Du Changqing: "No, it's been so long, the surname Bai is now poor in donkey skills, and half of the people who come to Xinglintang to see the sick are less, he is too late to worry, how can he have the heart to share it with me?" ”

Since the "Slender Fiber" began to be sold, the passenger flow of Xinglintang has decreased a lot, and Bai Shouyi previously blamed all the black pots on Zhou Ji because of the spring water birth, and drove Zhou Ji away. Without the old doctor sitting in the museum, the number of people who come to Xinglintang to see a doctor is getting fewer and fewer day by day.

Ah Cheng handed the wrapped medicinal materials to Hu Yuanwai, who took the medicinal materials and nodded: "That's good, if he dares to trouble you, the old man will call the shots for you." ”

Du Changqing responded with a smile, and sent Hu Yuanwai into the carriage, and after Hu Yuanwai left, he staggered back to the shop.

Lu Tong is reading a newly bought medical book.

Du Changqing whispered to himself: "Whoever wants him to call the shots, if he dares to trouble me......"

Yinzheng was curious: "How?" ”

Du Changqing flatteringly handed a red date to Lu Tong: "I'll let Dr. Lu call the shots for me." ”

Silver Kite: "......"

Du Changqing picked up his tea and walked to the bamboo chair, muttering in a low voice: "I don't know what that old Wang Ba is doing now?" ”

……

Bai Shouyi sat in the room sulking.

In recent months, he has lost a lot of weight, and even his face that is as white as Maitreya has dried up, and he has lost his former kindness, and looks a little meaner.

Wenyou stood beside him, carefully handing him a cup of tea.

Since the "Chun Shui Sheng" incident, Xinglintang's reputation has been damaged, Bai Shouyi is unwilling to suffer this loss, and simply found Lou Si, the official of the Cooked Medicine Institute, who identified medicinal materials, and thought that in the name of the Cooked Medicine Institute, the "Spring Water Sheng" will be returned to the official pharmacy.

Who knew that Lu Tong, the doctor sitting in the Renxin Medical Center, was really capable, and after being returned to the official pharmacy, he actually made another "slender fiber".

"Xian Xian" is more famous than "Chun Shuisheng", and seeing a steady stream of silver flowing towards the Renxin Medical Center, Bai Shouyi couldn't sleep well at night.

He wanted to trouble Lu Tong again, but Lou Si, the official who identified medicinal materials, told him a thunderbolt news that Lu Tong had something to do with the Dong family of the current Taifu Temple!

That's Taifu Siqing!

Bai Shouyi's face was gloomy.

Lou Si's words rang in his ears again.

"Last time, I just received the official deed of the medicine of the Renxin Medical Center on the front foot, and the people from the Dong family on the back foot came to support the Renxin Medical Center. forced me to return the official deed to Du Changqing, and intimidated me. ”

“…… Later, when I inquired, it turned out that the doctor in the Renxin Medical Center had treated the young master of the Dong family once, and he became involved in the relationship of the Dong family. Mrs. Dong treated her differently. ”

Lu Tong and Taifu Siqing got into a relationship......

That's not something he can afford to mess with.

That Du Changqing didn't know what kind of good luck he had, obviously he was about to rot into the mud, who knew that a woman would fall from the sky and bring the broken medical hall back to life. It's so eye-catching.

Bai Shouyi thought about it for a long time, and planned to find another way, so he simply took the talented medical girl under his command, but the woman surnamed Lu didn't know what to do, Wenyou went to find Lu Tong several times in private, but was sent back by the girl next to Lu Tong.

Seeing that the Renxin Medical Center is thriving these days, and even the officials of Shengjing have gone to buy medicine, the more Bai Shouyi thinks about it, the more he is upset, and he can't help but scold: "What do you say when you get the money, 'The money is for official business, and the fire is so bad that the pig's head is rotten', if something happens, you won't pay back the money, this dog surnamed Lou who eats meat and doesn't spit out bones!" ”

Wen You stood aside, and he didn't dare to come out. Now that Xinglintang has no income, Bai Shouyi is upset, and they don't dare to touch their heads.

Just as he was thinking, the curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Tong walked in from outside.

She walked over and said, "Did you hear about it?" Du Changqing's cousin came to Shengjing, and now she lives in Renxin Medical Center. ”

"Cousin?" Bai Shouyi was stunned.

Tong sat down, picked up the tea cup on the table, blew it, and handed it to Bai Shouyi.

"It's a broken and poor relative who fights the autumn breeze, and only Du Changqing, the wronged boss, takes her as her sister-in-law. If you want me to say, master, you can't eat or sleep well all day long for the affairs of the Du family, and Lu Tong is so ignorant, it is better to talk to Du Changqing's cousin. ”

"What can you do with her?"

Tong smiled: "That's a lot to do." The cousin of the Du family lives in the Renxin Medical Center and doesn't leave, I don't just see that little favor, Lu Tong and Du Changqing are not clear......"

"Young Master Du has always been romantic, and it is inevitable that there will be a fire in the backyard. If the cousin of the Du family can drive Lu Tong out......." she smiled, "Without Lu Tong, then the Renxin Medical Center is not to be afraid?" ”

Bai Shouyi didn't speak.

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"You're right, you should talk to her."

Happy New Year's Day, friends!!
