Yongchang forty years, March 10.

The weather was fine and the clouds had faded. Xuanfeng Gate Garden, pick up the Fang Garden in the group of fragrant buds, red apricots such as tilting.

In a large field of fluffy spring, two chamberlains are walking in the garden, carefully selecting fresh peach blossoms on the branches.

The concubine Niangniang in the palace has been quite favored recently, and she has to pick several baskets of fresh peach blossom petals every day to bathe. In the early morning, the peach petals with dewdrops are the best, delicate and pink, like a beauty and flawless.

While picking, there was a faint sound of footsteps ahead. Following the sound and looking up, I saw a female officer leading a group of people in green shirts towards the depths of the east corridor.

This group of people is male and female, with strange appearances, looking around as they walk, their footsteps are chaotic, and they are not as neat as the rules in the palace.

The little chamberlain was puzzled and asked the people around him, "Who are those people?" ”

"It's the new Hanlin medical envoy who has entered the palace." The old chamberlain looked in his direction, "Today is the day when the newcomers enter the medical court. ”

"The Medic?"

This name was a little unfamiliar to the new chamberlain, so he only touched his head and looked at the group of people, with envy in his eyes: "I became a medical officer at such a young age...... That sister is so good-looking! ”

The woman who fell behind the crowd did not look very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the round-necked narrow-waisted green robe was worn on her, making her more and more thin and slender. The complexion is very white, the eyebrows and eyes are beautiful but the expression is cold, like a cold and blooming green peach blossom, cold and bright, walking in the crowd, it is difficult not to be noticed at a glance.

It's really moving.

Directly ahead, Lu Yu was walking forward with the female officer who led the way.

The imperial city is gorgeous. I thought that the detailed judge Fan Zhenglian's mansion was already extremely luxurious, and compared with the present, it was not worth mentioning.

The east corridor is farther away, the palace wall is majestic, the green tile and vermilion eaves, the long corridor winds and lingers, and the carved railings and jade are everywhere. The pavilion is fresh and green glazed tiles in the sun, and the dragon hovering on the eaves is blazing, and the gold is brilliant.

A few steps away from the place seems to be a garden, a large piece of red peach blossoms are overwhelming, a line of guards walked in front, this group of guards are tall, heroic and extraordinary, led by the young guards dressed in a deep scarlet uniform, wearing a silver knife at the waist, the posture is like a cypress, the wind god is beautiful.

"Looks good, right?" Someone beside him whispered in Lu Yu's ear: "That's Pei Dianshuai of the front division of the palace." A first-class beautiful man in Shengjing City, I sealed it. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the Praetorian guards rushed towards this end and collided head-on with the group of them.

The female officer who led the way immediately bowed her head and saluted, and the new medical officer envoys also hurriedly turned sideways to avoid each other.

The guards walked in front of Lu Yu and the others, and the corners of their official robes brought a dark wind, and when he looked down, Lu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at them. The young man walked past her without squinting, and his appearance was noble and unattainable.

Like a stranger on the top, he doesn't stop for the wrong person.

It wasn't until the shadows of the guards faded away that the medical envoys relaxed again.

There were younger medical envoys, bewildered by the demeanor of the guards, and whispered with great interest about the people who walked by.

The person who spoke in Lu Yu's ear just now also sighed: "He is really handsome, that is, his eyes always look down at people from above, and he is very proud!" Sister, what do you think? ”

She turned her head to ask Lu Yu, with a bright smile on her face, but Lu Yu was speechless for a while.

Lu Yu met Lin Danqing in front of the palace gate.

Lin Danqing came early, and when he saw Lu Yu at a glance, he pulled Lu Yu to speak familiarly.

It was at this time that Lu Yu learned that in the spring examination room, the girl who had relieved her and had a dispute with Cao Huai had also passed the spring examination here, and was one of the new medical envoys this year.

Because Lu Yu was the only ordinary medical worker among the medical envoys who entered the palace, and he suppressed the so-called Tianjiao of the Tai Hospital with the first place on the red list, the rest of the medical envoys were somewhat hostile to her.

Lin Danqing probably also realized this, and took the initiative to talk to Lu Yu, trying to ease the stiff atmosphere. However, in Lu Yu's view, sometimes being overheated can make people more uncomfortable.

"Sister, don't worry, my father also worked in the medical hospital back then, and I am very familiar with this place. In the future, I will cover you and keep you from being bullied. Lin Danqing was very righteous, "Look at you soft and weak, the palace is full of human spirits, you little white rabbit, I'm worried that you will be eaten by wolves." ”

As he was talking, the female officer in front of him stopped and said to everyone: "It's here." ”

When everyone looked up, they saw an official court appear in front of them.

Above the gate, Zhu Se wrote "Hanlin Medical Hospital" on his forehead. There are five lobbies in the hospital, and the south hall on the left side of the lobby is the medical officer's office. After that, the medical temple enshrines the statues of Fuxi and Shennong. I heard that there is a medicine forest and a medicine storehouse behind it.

A short and fat medical officer in charge stood in front of the lobby, looking through the roster in his hand, and beside him stood two medical officers, holding official seals, waiting for Lu Yu and his party to enter the door.

The female officer walked into the lobby and saluted the medical officer in charge, "My lord, everyone has arrived. ”

The medical officer in charge squinted, glanced at the crowd a little critically, handed the roster to the medical officer beside him, turned around and walked into the hall, and said, "Write your name." ”

The newly recruited medical envoys lined up and stepped forward one by one, handing over the documents representing their identities to the hands of the registered medical officers. When it was Lu Yu's turn, as soon as the hand Chinese was handed over, the medical officer in front of her, who was meticulously dressed and even had a well-defined beard, looked at her a few times with a strange expression, narrowed his eyes as if he didn't want to believe it, and carefully matched Lu Yu's name with the name on the roster several times.

Lin Danqing, who was lined up behind Lu Yu, waited impatiently and asked, "My lord, is there any problem?" ”

"No, no problem." Chang Jin came back to his senses and beckoned Lu Yu: "Go in." ”

Lu Yu entered the door according to his words, Chang Jin raised his hand, and ticked Lu Yu's name on the roster, still unable to hide his surprise in his heart.

This is the Lu Yu who got the first place in the test department? How is it completely different from what you imagined?

He originally thought that Lu Yu would be able to cause the little son of the Dong family to fall out with his mother, and he would inevitably behave frivolously, look charming, or be gloomy, like a female ghost - after all, this person is very likely to be a teacher and an official for a while.

Which good man's son and daughter have nothing to learn to do the test!

Chang Jin was so curious that he didn't sleep all night last night, just to see what the legendary strange woman was. I didn't expect to see it, but it was like two people as I expected in my heart.

She is very young, born simple and beautiful, her eyebrows are clean and clear, and there is no trace of semblance in her expression, but there is a faint bookish atmosphere, which is very suitable for the peace and tranquility of the doctor.

It doesn't match her wild handwriting at all!

Sure enough, no one should be disguised. Chang Jin thought so in his heart, so he put Lu Yu's paper into the bamboo basket on the side.

The registration was soon over, and there was no less than 20 new medical officers, all of whom were here. The next step is to arrange what these new medical officers will do next, and the medical department will be divided into residential hospitals.

Newly recruited medical officials who have just entered the Hanlin Medical Hospital, and who are not yet able to directly provide for medical treatment, are called "doctors", and they have to be examined in the medical hospital for a period of time, and they can be confirmed to be proficient in medical science before they can be officially on duty.

The Imperial Medical Officers will send them to different departments and sub-offices according to the medical specialties they are good at in the spring examination papers.

The medical envoys stood respectfully in the hall, expecting to be assigned to a specialty in which they excelled.

The medical officer in charge stepped out of it, holding a long scroll, and began to announce the name of the dormitory in a slow voice—

"Cao Huai, Dafang Pulse, Small Fang Pulse Branch, Yuqing Room in the South Hall——"

"Zhao Qing, ophthalmology, oral and dental department, Shangshanfang in the south hall——"

"Chen Ming, ...... of acupuncture"

"Li Tong ......"

“……”

"Lin Danqing, Gynecology Department, North Hall West Shoufang——"

Lin Danqing, who was standing behind Lu Yu, breathed a sigh of relief, what she was best at was gynecology, it was enough to adjust the body of the nobles on weekdays, and she couldn't help but be happy when she got what she wanted. Looking at Lu Yu beside her, Lin Danqing prayed in her heart, hoping that Lu Yu would be assigned to the women's department with her and be each other's company.

However, one by one, the names were read, and the medical officer in charge never mentioned Lu Yu. Lin Danqing waited anxiously, but saw that Lu Yu was not arrogant or impatient, as if he didn't care much about the result.

"Lu Yu—"

The medical officer in charge in front of him suddenly called Lu Yu's name.

Lin Danqing's heart was shocked, and he quietly pulled the corner of Lu Yu's clothes, signaling Lu Yu to listen carefully.

"Lu Yu, South Pharmacy."

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Danqing, but also the other medical officials in the hall, no, it should be said that the doctors were stunned for a moment.

The South Pharmacy does not belong to any of the departments, and it is only the low-level doctors who sort the medicinal materials in the medical hospital and make and sell them to the Imperial Pharmacy. Letting the medical officer who ranked first in the spring examination of the Taiyi Bureau go to the South Pharmacy is tantamount to destroying the heavens. In fact, this kind of thing can be left to the pharmacist, and there is no turn for the medical officer on weekdays.

Looking at the doctors present today, each has its own industry, but only Lu Yu was assigned to the South Pharmacy.

Lu Yu looked at the medical officer in charge lightly, and Lin Danqing behind him couldn't help but speak: "My lord, could the roster be mistaken?" How could a new medical envoy go to the South Pharmacy? ”

The medical officer in charge seemed to be dissatisfied with her opening, and glared at Lin Danqing: "How can the adult arrange for your little doctor to put his beak in his mouth?" After that, he closed the scroll in his hand and walked into the hall with his hands in his hand: "Pack up your things and find a place for each." ”

Ignore the crowd no more.

After the chief medical officer left, the hall was lively again. Familiar doctors talked happily about their medical profession, and many people looked at Lu Yu with sympathy or joy.

Seeing this, Cao Huai, who was teasing in the Gongyuan before, was quite gloating, and sighed with pretense of regret: "It's really providence!" The first place on the red list was assigned to the South Pharmacy, and I heard that the people who entered the South Pharmacy did not come out, so Miss Lu should not stay in it for the rest of her life to pick up medicine for others, right? ”

Lin Danqing said angrily: "Cao Huai, you shut up for me!" He turned his head to look at Lu Yu again, "Don't listen to his dog mouth and can't spit out ivory, don't worry, sister, wait for me to find a way to inquire, maybe it is the test of the envoy of the academy." ”

The girl's eyes were sincere, but she was really worried about her, Lu Yu shook her head: "No, I'm fine." ”

Lin Danqing is well-intentioned, but even if he asks Cui Min, nothing will change.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes, Cui Min did it on purpose.

ordered her to be the first on the red list, but he hated her ordinary status, even if he wanted to give the Dong family an explanation, he would not let himself feel better. Only let himself go to the South Pharmacy to sit on the cold bench, which is already much better than Lu Yu imagined.

"But ......"

"Don't worry." Lu Yu smiled, his expression was very light, "I'll be back soon." ”

……

The palace's divisions and courtyards are busy in their own way.

After the palace guards were on duty, when Pei Yunyi returned to the office, it was not early.

The inside and outside of the house were lit up, and it was all bright. Qingfeng saw Pei Yunyi enter the door, and hurriedly handed over the food basket he had just brought back to him: "My lord, the snacks that Miss sent me." ”

Pei Yunyao answered and took it.

Pei Yunshu moved out of Pei's house after the year and lived in Pei Yunyao's adjacent house. Pei Yunshu often did not return when he was on duty in the palace, and Pei Yunshu sometimes asked someone to send him some snacks and meals, telling him to eat well.

Of course, these meals and pastries are all bought from the restaurant, and Pei Yunshu can't cook. Pei Yunyi didn't tell her, in fact, the food in the small kitchen of the palace marshal's mansion was not much different from the food in the restaurant.

Pei Yunyao carried the food into the hall, Xiao Zhufeng was reading a book, heard the movement, raised his head and glanced at it, and his eyes paused on the delicate food basket.

Pei Yunyao opened the food basket, the food basket was divided into several layers, there were meat and vegetarian snacks, and the flowers were beautiful. He picked up a piece of lotus cake, and when he saw Xiao Zhufeng's eyes, he smiled brightly: "Envy? ”

Xiao Zhufeng endured it: "It's just that the chef of the restaurant made it." ”

Pei Yunyi nodded lazily: "That's not your share." ”

Knowing that he is used to being like this, he is a handsome man in front of outsiders, and there is always a bit of bad in front of people who are familiar with him. Xiao Zhufeng didn't bother to pay attention to his childish tricks, and only said: "Today, the new medical officer has entered the palace." ”

"Hmm."

"Lu Yu has entered the palace."

Pei Yunyi: "I know." ”

In fact, not only did he know that when Lu Yu first entered the palace in the morning, he also met with Lu Yu.

But that side shouldn't be called pleasant.

Xiao Zhufeng looked at his friend, and saw that his expression was scattered, and he couldn't see any difference from usual.

After a pause, Xiao Zhufeng said, "You don't care which hospital she went to?" ”

In a way, the medical departments and institutes that are newly admitted to the hospital will even determine the future prospects of these doctors.

Competition, has existed since the beginning.

Pei Yunyao smiled: "Which courtyard?" ”

"South Pharmacy."

South Pharmacy?

Pei Yunyi was stunned, and his eyebrows gradually frowned.

The South Pharmacy is the most promising place in the entire medical hospital, and every year only the most unfavorable or erroneous medical officers are assigned to the pharmacy. Those who go to the South Pharmacy will hardly have the opportunity to respond again.

It couldn't have been a worse start.

Xiao Zhufeng looked at the person opposite: "Cui Min should be to show goodwill to the Dong family." However, being deported to the medicine store, your Doctor Lu should have no chance of revenge. ”

He said it sarcastically, implying a bit of quiet ease. For Xiao Zhufeng, Lu Yu is a restless mistake that should not appear in the chess game, and if he is not careful, the overall situation will be affected. Now that she's out, it couldn't be better.

"Two mistakes." Pei Yunyi said.

"What's wrong?"

"One, she's not 'mine.'"

Xiao Zhufeng finally couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes: "Second? ”

"Second." Pei Yunyi raised his hand, and the delicate pastries in his hand were light and pale pink under the candle color, like a real blooming new lotus.

He stared at the beautiful lotus flower in front of him, and through the crystal petals, he seemed to see some other shadow, and his eyes gradually deepened.

"Second, you're underestimating her."

"Opportunities are not waiting for them, I guess this Dr. Lu will soon create opportunities by himself." He said.
