Chapter 118: Master Pei
The snow in Shengjing was falling, and it was December in the blink of an eye.
Most of the red plums in the small courtyard have bloomed, and the Yazhai bookstore on West Street has begun to sell a large number of peach charms posted on the New Year.
Renxin Medical Center has put out a new facial oil "Jade Dragon Paste", which is made of spices mixed with crude drug oil to make a cream, which can prevent the skin from chapping due to freezing and cold. Because the price is not expensive, ordinary people often buy it together with shortbread and Guanyin statues as holiday gifts. After the appearance of the "Jade Dragon Cream", the income of the Renxin Medical Center gradually maintained a stable balance.
Early in the morning, Du Changqing went out with Yinzheng Acheng to give porridge.
Soup porridge is a tradition left by Du Changqing's father, Mr. Du, every year, everyone in the Renxin Medical Center has to go to the temple entrance of West Street, build a shed to cook "Qibao five-flavor porridge", and distribute it to the poor.
Because there was no one in the medical hall, Du Changqing knew that Lu Yu was busy preparing for the spring exam, so he didn't let Lu Yu go with him, leaving her to sit in the medical hall.
In the bunk, Miao Liangfang sat on a recliner with a thin blanket on his legs, squinting at Lu Yu writing a scroll on the side.
Since he came to see Lu Yu in the early morning of that day, the two have reached a subtle tacit understanding. Miao Liangfang acquiesced in teaching Lu Liang medical theory to help her pass the spring exam, and Lu Yu also acquiesced that if she really passed the spring exam, she would meet Miao Liangfang's request.
He came over every morning and taught Lu Yu to leave until late at night, although Du Changqing scolded and scolded, he also managed his three meals a day, which was better than starvation. Thinking that he used to be a medical officer of the Hanlin Medical Academy, it was not a problem to teach a doctor, not to mention that this doctor of the Renxin Medical Center had a good reputation and was smart, this errand was not too difficult.
But Miao Liangfang soon found out that he was wrong-
"Xiao Lu, how can scabies use salt bile water" Miao Liangfang glanced at Lu Yu's scroll and couldn't help but support his forehead.
"Why not?"
"Salt bile water is very poisonous, and smearing aggravates suppuration."
"It was sores and blood, no sores and no blood, and it was unharmed with brine."
"How do you know?"
"I've used it."
"You use ......" Miao Liangfang's words choked in his throat, and he glared at Lu Yu: "Have you used it?" ”
Lu Yu nodded.
Miao Liangfang only felt a punch on the cotton, soft and aggrieved.
Has she used?
The devil believes it!
It has been more than half a month since he came to teach Lu Yu, from the faint expectation at the beginning to the current anxiety, Miao Liangfang is shocked by Lu Yu's "medical skills" every day.
Because Lu Yu was preparing for the spring exam, and he didn't know anything about Lu Yu's past, on the first day of teaching Lu Yu, he wrote the exam papers according to nine subjects, intending to explore Lu Yu's bottom.
However, it's okay not to probe, but after a look, this Dr. Lu really shocked Miao Liangfang.
The pharmacology and medical scriptures written by Lu Yu, although they are not very thoughtful, can barely be read. However, the prescription she wrote under her illness was really whimsical and deviant.
Some commonly used prescriptions are fine, but for some difficult diseases, Lu Yu's analysis is quite accurate, but the prescriptions prescribed are always mixed with one or two flavors of poison.
At first, Miao Liangfang thought that Lu Yu was just used to writing prescriptions like this, but later he wrote more, and some prescriptions Miao Liangfang had never heard of, and gradually he began to realize that something was wrong.
This Dr. Lu, rather than saying that she understands medical science, is that she knows more about all kinds of poisons.
She is good at healing diseases with poison!
Miao Liangfang also knocked on the side, trying to find out if this Doctor Lu had any special habits, or if there was any problem with his temperament, so he said to her: "The urgent prescription of poison, the poisonous properties are surging up and down to weaken the power of the disease. There is a non-toxic treatment prescription, and non-toxic is a slow sexual function...... Why don't you try it another way? ”
Lu Yu frowned: "I won't." ”
The answer was crisp and clear.
After several three attempts, Miao Liangfang gradually understood that this Dr. Lu really didn't understand medical science, and he had not been taught by serious medical workers, as if she was studying medicine by herself, and the basis of her exploration was poison.
Her familiarity with poison and her ease of use made Miao Liangfang feel shocked.
What's even more frightening is the recipes written by Lu Yu.
Miao Liangfang thought that he had a hundred kinds of good prescriptions, but the recipes written by Lu Yu were unheard of, and he was curious, so he couldn't hold back, and selected a few of them to secretly try on himself, and found that it really worked wonders.
Those recipes turned out to be true!
And when he asked about Lu Yu, Lu Yu only said "I tried" and sent him away.
It's strange that she tried!
Miao Liangfang didn't believe it at all, there were many poisonous herbs among those recipes, and the symptoms were also strange, if they were tried by Lu Yu one by one, would she still be alive now? None of the medicine people are so miserable.
It was determined that Lu Yu's origin was mysterious, and there must be a book of good prescriptions handed down by his ancestors at home, but after asking a few times to no avail, Miao Liangfang was forgotten. After all, his purpose was to send Lu Yu to the Hanlin Medical Hospital, but at the moment-
Miao Liangfang sighed: "Girl, if you are like this, it is impossible for you to enter the Hanlin Medical Academy. ”
He tactfully reminded: "There are nine subjects in the spring test, each with its own tangible system, and your prescriptions may really be able to solve the problem, but if you have to answer it like this, you will definitely not be able to pass it." ”
"As medical officers in our Hanlin Medical Hospital, we are not afraid that we will not be able to cure people by prescribing prescriptions, but we are afraid that prescribing prescriptions will cure people. You add a few flavors of poisonous herbs here, and the examiner will immediately throw it away to you as soon as he sees the paper, what else can you expect? ”
It stands to reason that Lu Yu is smart, he can understand a lot of medical science at a point, and he can almost never forget it, Miao Liangfang dares to say that even those official children in the Taiyi Bureau who have been taught by Mr. Jiuke for many years may not have Lu Yu's talent.
But I'm not afraid that students are stupid, I'm afraid that students are too thoughtful. Lu Yu is better than medicine after all, and she has her own opinion, Miao Liangfang only felt that her eyes were dark when she saw it.
"The old things in the medical hospital are all cowardices, and they are cautious when writing a prescription for beauty, you are so wild, you are so domineering in medicine, and the veterinarian is not so bold!"
A voice rang out behind him.
"Who wants to be a veterinarian?"
Lu Yu paused in his hand and raised his eyes to look out of the door.
The door of the medical hall was wide open, and the young man walked in from the door, and the official uniform was covered with a gold-threaded engraved silk cloak, which looked more and more stunning and dazzling in the ice and snow.
Lu Yu put down his pen and said lightly: "Why is the palace marshal here?" ”
Since he came uninvited late at night that day and evaded Shen Fengying's search for him, Lu Yu hadn't seen this person for many days, and he didn't know if he was dead or what.
This is very good, in all fairness, Lu Yu is not willing to have too many entanglements with him. She didn't forget that on the second day after Pei Yunyi's injury, martial law was imposed in Beijing for half a month, saying that someone in the palace had assassinated. A Heavenly Guard, transformed into an assassin, thinks about it and knows the danger.
She just wants to do her own thing, and what Pei Yunyi does has nothing to do with her. It's best to be like the heavy snow in the Sunan Temple, the next day, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns, and no one knows who is better.
As if he didn't notice Lu Yu's coldness, Pei Yunyao walked into the inner shop and said, "I'll get the medicine for the treasure bead." ”
The medicine given to the orb, every once in a while, Pei Yunshu will let people come to take it, and Lu Yu will occasionally come to the door, the residual poison of the orb is already very small, if it is good, it can be cured after half a year.
Pei Yunyi, as an uncle, is nothing to run for his niece. Lu Yu got up, went around to the back of the medicine cabinet, and went to get the pre-wrapped medicine.
Miao Liangfang sat in the corner with his head down, looking like a patient being consulted, Pei Yunyi inadvertently glanced back, and his eyes suddenly stopped.
"I ...... I'll go to the backyard to get the herbs! Miao Liangfang jumped up, hurriedly turned around with his cane and ran behind the felt curtain.
However, he had only run two steps before he was stopped by someone behind him.
"What are you running, Doctor Miao."
Lu Yu looked up in surprise.
Miao Liangfang froze in place, not daring to move for a long time.
The wind picked up in the long street, and slipped into the house along the door of the medical hall, blowing the pages on the table to the ground. Lu Yu's gaze wandered over the two of them, and he slowly frowned.
In a suffocating silence, Miao Liangfang slowly turned around and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at Pei Yunyi.
"Little, little Pei."
Pei Yunyao looked at him quietly: "It's been a long time. ”
"Master Pei knows Mr. Miao?" Lu Yu put down the medicine in his hand and asked.
Pei Yunyi casually put down the medicinal silver and sat down in front of the small table in the bunk.
"The hard-to-find Miao medical officer in the Hanlin Medical Academy," the smile on the corner of his mouth was very faint, "why is he here?" ”
Lu Yu's eyes fell on Miao Liangfang, Miao Liangfang stood awkwardly, his face was a little ugly, and Lu Yu said: "Mr. Miao is the gentleman I invited to teach medical science." ”
"Sir?" Pei Yunyao glanced at him, "Back then, Medical Officer Miao left the Medical Hospital, and he didn't know where he was for many years, but I didn't expect to meet him here today." ”
Lu Yu's eyes moved slightly.
Pei Yunyi's attitude towards Miao Liangfang was not friendly, and he didn't know if they had festivals in the past. What happened in the Hanlin Medical Hospital back then, and why Miao Liangfang was lame and kicked out of the Medical Hospital, no one knows. Du Changqing asked Miao Liangfang to inquire, but Miao Liangfang was reluctant to talk about the matter in detail, and only said that he would inform Lu Liang after passing the spring examination of the Taiyi Bureau.
Lu Yu didn't know anything about Miao Liangfang's past, but in the subtle atmosphere between Pei Yunyao and Miao Liangfang, he got a glimpse of it.
Miao Liangfang stood in front of the felt curtain, clasped his hands, and raised his eyes a little crampedly, "Yes, yes, yes, there is indeed a fate." ”
Lu Yu groaned in his heart, Miao Liangfang left the Hanlin Medical Hospital more than ten years ago, and Pei Yunyi was a young man in his early tens ten years ago, what kind of suspicion can there be between the two?
"Medical Officer Miao has changed a lot over the years." Pei Yunyi glanced at him with a smile, his gaze lingering on his lame right leg for a moment.
Miao Liangfang's expression stiffened even more.
In fact, since Miao Liangfang came to the Renxin Medical Center to teach Lu Yu, compared to the dirty man who was sloppy and drunk and worse than Hanako, he had already judged the two of them. At least his straw-like messy hair was combed neatly, and his clothes were changed into clean cotton clothes - Du Changqing was afraid of affecting the image of the medical center.
Lu Yu hadn't seen Miao Liangfang's appearance before, but listening to Pei Yunyao's reminder, he could probably guess how high-spirited Miao Liangfang was at the beginning.
She saw that Miao Liangfang's hand hanging by her side was getting tighter and tighter, so she said loudly: "The newly sent white artemisia in the kitchen has not been sorted out yet, Mr. Miao, you can go into the house and help me tidy it up." ”
Hearing this, Miao Liangfang threw a grateful glance at Lu Yu, responded with a hello in his mouth, opened the felt curtain and hurriedly fled.
Pei Yunyao looked at Lu Yu, and Lu Yu looked back at him calmly.
After a while, he laughed: "I can let the beautiful Miao medical officer personally advise, Mrs. Lu has a very wide connection. ”
"After all, we have a humble status, and we can only rely on ourselves in everything, if there are no medical officers and professors, how can we compare with those official children of the Taiyi Bureau?"
Lu Yu put the medicine wrapped for Baozhu in advance on the small table and sat down opposite Pei Yunyao.
He looked at the medicine on the small table and asked, "You want to take the spring exam of the Taiyi Bureau?" ”
"Didn't the palace marshal already know?"
This matter made a lot of noise, Pei Yunyi's ears and eyes were in all directions, Lu Yu didn't believe that he only knew about it now.
"It's one thing for others to say it, and it's another thing to hear it with your own ears." He leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "I thought that Doctor Lu would grab the big tree of Taifu Siqing." ”
"Why?"
"The young master of the Dong family has always been well-behaved, and he fell out with his mother for you. At this time, to participate in the spring test is to hit the face of Taifu Siqing. It's okay that it didn't pass, but once it passed, the beam was finished. He looked at the medical books piled up everywhere in his eyes, as well as the volumes that Miao Liangfang had compiled for Lu Yu, and his eyebrows moved slightly, "Doctor Lu can't be serious, right?" ”
Lu Yu: "As you can see. ”
"Isn't Doctor Lu afraid of offending Taifu Siqing?"
"Don't be afraid."
His expression was slightly restrained, staring at Lu Yu fixedly, and only after a while did he speak thoughtfully.
"Officials are not afraid, assassins are not afraid, murder is not afraid, and burial of corpses is not afraid ......"
"Dr. Lu," he asked, "is there no one in the world that you are afraid of, a thing you are afraid of?" ”
Lu Yu's heart trembled.
The young man's eyes are clear and bright, but the color of his eyes is bottomless, and he feels concerned at first glance when he looks at people, but when he looks closely, he has a sharp edge that is difficult to capture.
Always waiting to dissect people from the inside out.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled.
"Originally, there were. But ......"
"But what?"
"However," Lu Yu raised his head, "those things have already happened, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Pei Yunyao was stunned.
The woman's voice was as soft and cold as ever, but in the calm, some hidden deep hatred and misanthropy still flowed through the cracks, as if the tip of the iceberg had been lifted.
No one spoke, it was quiet in the bunk, and you could faintly hear the sound of the north wind blowing through the tips and the snow falling.
I don't know how long it took, Pei Yunyi nodded, reached out and took the medicine bag on the small table, and stood up.
He looked down at Lu Yu, who was sitting, and the corners of his lips raised: "Then I wish Dr. Lu good luck." ”
"Thank you."
"I took the medicine." The young man's voice became brisk again, and after glancing at the felt curtain in the backyard, he walked out with the medicine bag, "You don't need to look for the diagnosis silver, count the tea money." ”
The figure faded away.
Lu Yan sat still, only watching this person gradually disappear at the end of the medical hall, Miao Liangfang came out of the courtyard at some point, stretched his neck to look out, and after confirming that the other party had indeed left, he patted his chest half puzzled and half apprehensive: "Finally left...... That, Xiao Lu, you are very familiar with Pei Shizi? ”
Lu Yu was silent for a moment and turned his face to face him.
"Mr. Miao."
"Huh?"
"Why are you afraid of Pei Yunyao?"
