Chapter 138: Shennong Temple
After the cleaned red fang was sent to the Imperial Pharmacy, the South Pharmacy was not as busy as before for the time being.
Without the red and bright poisonous flowers in the medicine garden, the medical workers were a lot more relaxed.
In the house, Zhu Mao leaned on a pineapple wooden chair, holding tea and looking at the puddles of rain under the eaves.
Looking at it, he remembered another gossip, and Zhu Mao asked, "By the way, how is that Lu Yu doing?" ”
The new female medical officer is described as beautiful and as beautiful as a flower. He asked someone to go to the medical hospital to inquire about who Lu Yu had offended, but he never inquired about the way out. Later, Lu Yu was sent to the medicine garden to pick red flocculents, firstly, he wanted to kill Lu Yu's arrogance, and secondly, he also wanted to use this to explore the tone of the medical hospital.
However, for many days, there was no movement at the other end of the medical office, as if he had completely forgotten about Lu Yu. Zhu Mao gradually had a bottom in his heart, it seems that this female medical officer was completely abandoned by the medical court.
The little guy on his side replied: "Lord Hui, these days, Lu Yu has been picking and cleaning red flocculents in the medicine garden, and there is no movement. ”
"Huh?" Zhu Mao was a little surprised, "It's quite calm." ”
He secretly told Mei Erniang to embarrass Lu Yu on weekdays, Mei Erniang's temperament Zhu Mao is clear, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to be able to deal with it calmly, and he has never begged for mercy in front of him until now.
Thinking of the cold look on that flowery face, Zhu Mao's heart suddenly itched, and he put down the teacup in his hand and stood up: "In that case, the official will also go and take a look at her." ”
……
In the medicine garden, Lu Yuzheng and He Xiu classified fresh herbs separately.
"Doctor Lu, it's the first time I know that herbs can be divided like this, you're so powerful!" He Xiu looked at the neatly sorted medicinal materials in the courtyard, and a trace of amazement flowed in his eyes.
Since Lu Yu came, her daily work has been much easier, and Lu Yu's method of sorting medicinal materials is different from theirs, fast and good. Many newcomers didn't know the herbs in the original medicine garden, and the sorting was also delayed. But Lu Yu is different, as long as she talks to her once, she can remember it all.
"I dare to say that those students of the Taiyi Bureau are not as skilled as you." He Xiu praised on the one hand, and secretly regretted Lu Yu in his heart, how could he enter the South Pharmacy with such a medical talent? In this way, it is better not to enter the palace and be a doctor in the market.
Lu Yu's sorting movements kept moving, and asked, "Last time, you said that you hadn't returned home for three years." But the medical officer of the medical officer hospital has a day off, even if the affairs of the South Pharmacy are complicated, you should be able to leave the palace for a few days a year, why can't you go home? ”
Hearing this, the smile on He Xiu's face dimmed a little: "It's Lord Zhu." ”
"Zhu Mao?"
He Xiu nodded, and his voice was very low: "Lord Zhu holds the roster of all the people in the South Pharmacy, even if he wants to go home according to the rules, he has to pay him silver, or...... I don't have that much money, and I don't want to...... So I didn't go back for three years. ”
Lu Yu asked, "Why don't you complain to the envoy of the medical court?" ”
He Xiu smiled bitterly: "Doctor Lu, if the complaint is useful, why did you come here?" ”
Lu Yu was silent.
The South Pharmacy is also under the name of the Medical Hospital, and Zhu Mao is here to be powerful, and Cui Min, the envoy of the Medical Hospital, may not be unaware.
"Don't mention this," He Xiu said with a smile: "The red fangfu is sent to the Imperial Medicine Hospital, and it will be easier next." I don't know what materials are fashionable outside the palace now, this year's spring shirts for my younger siblings, I want to teach the tailor to make a brighter ......"
She was talking happily, when suddenly her voice pinched, Lu Yu followed her gaze, and saw that at the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Mao and a few people were walking inside.
He Xiu pulled Lu Yu, and Lu Yu stood up and saluted Zhu Mao with He Xiu.
"Get up." Zhu Mao smiled and looked at Lu Yu, "You just arrived at the South Pharmacy not long ago, and the Japanese official affairs were complicated a few days ago, and I didn't have time to look at you, today I just came to ask, are you still used to coming to the South Pharmacy?" ”
"Thank you for your concern." Lu Yu said: "Everything is fine. ”
Zhu Mao nodded, and was about to say a few more words, when his eyes fell on Lu Yu's face, he suddenly paused.
A few days ago, Zhu Mao had never been to the medicine garden because he was afraid of the poison of the red fangfu, but now he hasn't seen him for a while, and he was a little stunned when he saw a face of a hibiscus out of the water.
Because of the need to sort medicinal materials, Lu Yu was also the same as He Xiu, wearing only a brown linen dress, the linen clothes were wide, lining her slender figure, eyebrows and cheeks, revealing a snow-white neck, I felt pity.
Maybe it's because of the mess of medicinal herbs around here, or maybe it's He Xiu's face full of red spots, the already beautiful face adds a bit of beauty, Lu Yu is standing in this courtyard, and it is difficult for people to take their eyes off her.
Zhu Mao's gaze was also attracted.
He Xiu was a little uneasy, Zhu Mao stared at Lu Yu's eyes as if he saw a fat hungry wolf, and refused to let go, and then suddenly said "um", and said, "Why don't you have red spots on your face?" You didn't enter the Red Garden? ”
Lu Yu was stunned.
She and He Xiu stayed in Hongfang Garden for many days, and He Xiu covered her face with a face towel, but she still inevitably had more spots. Lu Yu didn't cover anything, he was exposed to the poisonous flowers, his face was still clean, and there was nothing.
This was a blessing in misfortune, but at this moment, it became a bad omen.
Without waiting for Lu Yu to speak, He Xiu hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, Doctor Lu was poisoned by the red fang floc at home in the early years, and then he was cured with decoction, so he was not disturbed by the red fang floc poison from now on. ”
"Did I ask you?" Zhu Mao glared at He Xiu coldly, and He Xiu didn't dare to speak.
He turned his head to stare at Lu Yu again, and his tone was a little strange: "The red fang is precious, except in the palace, it is rarely found outside. What's more, there is no solution to this poison, as long as you pick it, you will inhale pollen, if there is really a way to overcome the poison, it has already become famous in the Imperial Medicine Institute. Speaking of this, Zhu Mao's words changed, "I think, you are just lazy, you haven't been to Hongfang Garden at all these days, and you haven't been close to the poisonous flower, so there is no trace of red spots on your face!" ”
When He Xiu heard this, he was startled, and knelt down with a "poof", "My lord Mingjian, these days, Doctor Lu is picking red flocculent with me, and Doctor Lu is afraid that I will be affected, most of the herbs are picked by Doctor Lu, there is no laziness, and the people in the medicine garden are watching!" ”
However, the surrounding medical workers all lowered their heads, as if no one heard what He Xiu said, and no one spoke.
Zhu Mao snorted coldly: "Doctor Lu, what do you say?" ”
Lu Yu said calmly: "My lord doesn't believe it, let me go to Hongfang Garden and try it myself." ”
"It's easy to say," Zhu Mao sneered, "The flowers and plants in the red fang garden have all been picked, and the medicinal properties of the red fang floc picked are not as good as before, and they may not give birth to red spots." You have made up your mind and there is no evidence, so you can't help it. ”
He said all the horizontal and vertical words, ignoring He Xiu, who was tugging at the corner of her skirt on her side, Lu Yu simply looked at him and asked, "What are the plans of the adult?" ”
Zhu Mao was stunned.
Lu Yu's expression was cold, as if it was not she who was in trouble, it seemed that she had been like this since she first arrived at the South Pharmacy, standing far away from the crowd, like the faint cold moon hanging in the air, and she couldn't catch it.
Zhu Mao's heart itched again, scratching his heart and liver, and he couldn't wait to swallow this tempting cold moon into his stomach immediately.
He rubbed his thumb eagerly, but with a righteous and stern expression on his face, he said: "Being lazy as soon as you enter the South Pharmacy is not a big crime, but it is difficult to escape punishment." In this case, I will punish you to kneel in front of the statue of Shennong in the Shennong Temple for three days, and repent quietly in front of Lord Shennong. ”
When the words landed, Lu Yu's heart moved.
Just punished for kneeling for three days?
She thought that with Zhu Mao's means, she deliberately came to find trouble, and the end should be much more serious than this. I didn't expect it to be just a punishment for kneeling.
He Xiu was still pleading in a low voice, Lu Yu thought about it for a while, and then whispered to the person in front of him: "Yes, my lord." ”
……
After Zhu Mao came back from the medicine garden, Mei Erniang followed.
"I heard that the lord drove Lu Yu to the ancestral hall to punish him for kneeling?" As soon as she entered the house, Mei Erniang closed the door.
Zhu Mao found a comfortable posture on the soft couch, and took Mei Erniang into his arms and kissed him: "Have you tasted it?" ”
Mei Erniang turned her head away with anger, and only said, "Why did you suddenly think of her?" ”
These days, Zhu Mao ignores Lu Yu, and only asks people to count the red flakes every day, as if he has forgotten this person. Who would have thought that he would suddenly attack Lu Yu today.
"After all, it's a person from the South Pharmacy, and I don't understand the rules, so of course I have to mention it." Zhu Mao said, touching the face of the person in his arms, the skin under his hands was delicate, but when he remembered the other pretty face that he had just seen as white and tender as a shelled egg, he looked at the person in front of him again, and couldn't help but feel a little dull and old.
Mei Erniang also seemed to notice his hesitation, pretended not to see it, and continued to ask: "If you want to mention something, why do you just rush to kneel?" It's not like an adult. ”
Zhu Mao has always been mean to his subordinates, but if he has the intention to target, it is impossible not to shed his skin. has targeted Lu Yu, but only punished kneeling, which is really very different from the previous methods.
Zhu Mao snorted lightly: "What do you know." ”
Fighting a dog also depends on the owner, after all, Lu Yu is a new medical officer, he has a heart for this woman, but he also has to see the reaction of the medical hospital. The South Pharmacy and the Medical Institution were in contact, and Lu Yu was sent to pick red flocculents, but there was no movement from the Medical Hospital. If the news of the punishment of kneeling has passed, and the past three days are still the same as before, it can only show that Lu Yu really has no support behind him.
That means that three days later, that beautiful young medicine girl will completely become his forbidden Luan in the South Pharmacy, at his mercy.
Thinking of this, Zhu Mao's heart was blazing, and he couldn't help but rub his fingers and laugh slowly.
……
It was getting dark in the medicine garden in the spring a little later than the previous day.
In the dim ancestral hall, Lu Yu knelt on the straw mat. Above her head, a tall statue of Shennong held a spiritual grass in his hand, looking down at her with a smile.
At the height of the stone wall of the ancestral hall, a crescent moon sprinkled some silver light through the small window and fell to the ground, shining on the empty hall inside, showing a bit of coldness.
Lu Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his stiff knees.
After Zhu Mao came during the day, she was taken into the ancestral hall to meditate.
The ancestral hall is damp and cold, and at night, the statue of the kind eyebrows becomes gloomy in the shadow of the candle, and the young girl spends the night alone, and does not mention whether her body can hold it, it is inevitable that her heart will be terrified.
However, for Lu Yu, who walks around the mass graves all year round, it makes no difference where he lives. It was even better and quieter than the dormitory, quiet enough for her to have enough time to figure out what to do next.
The candle flame in front of the table flickered, and a voice came from behind him: "Doctor Lu!" ”
Lu Yu turned around and saw a familiar face through the fence on the small window on the height, whispering to her.
It's He Xiu.
Lu Yu stood up and walked towards the window: "Why are you here?" ”
"I'll bring you something to eat." He Xiu passed her a cold steamed bun across the fence, "You haven't eaten for a day, you can't go on like this, it's too cold here, you'll get sick." ”
Lu Yu took the steamed bun in her hand, knowing that He Xiu saved it from his dinner, and said "thank you".
"Don't thank me," He Xiu was frustrated, "You picked so many red flocculents for me, and I couldn't help at all when I was imprisoned in the ancestral hall." It's useless ......."
"It's just a punishment of kneeling for three days, and it won't get in the way."
"It's not a trivial matter, Mei Erniang was also a ...... back then"
She stopped talking and didn't say any more, but Lu Yu suddenly understood.
I think that Mei Erniang was the same when she first entered the South Pharmacy, and was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by Zhu Mao for a reason to kill her majesty, and her heart was broken, and in the end, Mei Erniang was willing to bow down to him.
He Xiu looked at Lu Yu, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes: "Doctor Lu ......"
She seemed to look at her companion who was about to fall into the quagmire, anxious, painful and powerless, and could only blame herself again and again.
Lu Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Ah Xiu, you help me bring something to Mei Erniang." ”
He Xiu was stunned, "What?" ”
Lu Yu took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and stuffed it into her hand through the fence.
"It's ......"
He Xiu was worried while hiding the paper in his arms.
"Bring a word to Mei Erniang for me." After Lu Yu finished speaking, he attached his ear to He Xiu's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the woman's face was shocked: "Why did Doctor Lu do this?" ”
Lu Yu didn't speak, lowered his head and took a bite of the steamed bun.
The steamed buns are cold and hard, and when you swallow them, you can feel the roughness in your throat. The meals in the South Pharmacy are always like this, and all the money goes into Zhu Mao's pocket, and the ordinary medical workers are here, and they are not as good as Zhu Mao's dog.
But people are not dogs after all.
After a while, she looked at the person in front of her.
"Because I want to get out of here."
……
These trivial matters in the inner court of the palace did not take much time when they were passed to the three divisions.
When Duan Xiaoyan learned that Lu Yu was punished to kneel at the Shennong Temple, it was already late at night.
Everyone else in the guard was on duty, and only Xiao Zhufeng was looking through the official documents in front of the case. Duan Xiaoyan took a turn inside and outside the house, and didn't see Pei Yunyi's shadow, so he asked Xiao Zhufeng at the table: "Why isn't Brother Yunyao here?" ”
"He's out of town." Xiao chased the limelight and didn't raise his head, only asked, "What?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, Duan Xiaoyan stepped forward, leaned on the table with half of his body, and approached Xiao Zhufeng to lower his voice: "I just passed by the Hanlin Medical Hospital, and I heard about one thing, Dr. Lu, who is sitting in the Renxin Medical Hall, didn't he go to the South Pharmacy before." I don't know what happened in the South Pharmacy, and I was imprisoned in the Shennong Temple and punished by kneeling. ”
Xiao Zhufeng looked stunned, and quickly came back to his senses, and let out an "oh".
He has always been silent, Duan Xiaoyan knocked on the table, "Aren't we going to help her?" ”
Xiao Zhufeng raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Why do you want to help?" Who is she? ”
Duan Xiaoyan choked.
To say that in the past, Duan Xiaoyan still felt that he and Lu Yu were friends. But later, Wangchun Mountain's purse was framed, which proved that this friendship was nothing more than his wishful thinking. It stands to reason that how Lu Yu entered the palace has nothing to do with him.
However, every time he heard that Lu Yu was being harassed or the situation was not good, he couldn't help but worry about Lu Yu. Duan Xiaoyan thought that he was not a person who rushed to make cheap mistakes in the past, and after thinking about it, it was probably because Lu Yan was too good-looking, which made it difficult for people to have a bad feeling.
"Why don't you ask Qingfeng to send a message to Brother Yun Xuan, he will always be ...... about Dr. Lu's affairs" Duan Xiaoyan's remaining words gradually died down under Xiao Zhufeng's condemning gaze, and after a while, he whispered: "Isn't this okay?" ”
"Don't do anything superfluous." Xiao Zhufeng warned, "This matter has nothing to do with the front division of the palace. ”
Duan Xiaoyan was not convinced, but he didn't dare to refute.
Xiao Zhufeng glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't let her affect Pei Yunyao." ”
……
Since the Third Division had received the news, it was impossible for the Medical Officers Hospital, which was adjacent to the South Pharmacy, to be ignorant of Lu Yu's current situation.
In the room, Cui Min sat quietly.
The new collection of medical techniques of the Taiyi Bureau is being recompiled, and as the envoy of the Hanlin Medical Academy, Cui Min is responsible for the compilation and sorting of the entire medical book. In addition to improving and adjusting the old prescriptions, some new prescriptions should also be edited and added to the medical books.
However, a cure is hard to find, and it is not so easy to make a new and effective prescription. In the past two years, in order to edit a new medical book, Cui Min's gray hair on his temples has increased a lot, and others have advised him not to treat himself so harshly, after all, just the book "Cui's Pharmacology" many years ago, his merits are enough to make him famous for a hundred years-
There was a "squeak" and the door opened.
A person quietly came in from outside, walked in front of Cui Min, and said in a low voice: "Envoy, it is rumored in the South Pharmacy today that Medical Officer Lu made a mistake and was imprisoned in Shennong Temple by Lord Zhu and punished for kneeling for three days. ”
Cui Min was stunned by the wolf in his hand, and after a while, he put down the pen, lifted the paper he had just written, put it aside, and said, "Zhu Mao still can't wait." ”
Since Lu Yu entered the South Pharmacy, there has been no movement. However, her news will always reach Cui Min's ears in various coincidental ways.
Lu Yu went to pick red flocculents, Lu Yu went to sort out the poisonous weeds, and Lu Yu was made difficult by the medical workers......
Lu Yu was punished for closing the Shennong Temple.
This is naturally deliberate by Zhu Mao, and Cui Min has never responded to this clumsy temptation.
Even if he knew that entering the Shennong Temple meant that Zhu Mao's patience had run out, and he couldn't wait to destroy this delicate flower that had strayed into the wasteland.
"Leave him alone." Cui Min said.
The henchman raised his head and couldn't help asking: "I don't understand, the envoy of the hospital overrode the public opinion, and specially named the Lu medical officer from a flat person to be the first on the red list, and when she entered the palace, he wanted to send her to the South Pharmacy, even if it was considered the Dong family, it would not be like this." ”
Deliberately let Lu Yu enter the palace just to torture? So why bother?
After the words were silent, no one spoke for a long time, and when he was worried in his henchman's heart, Cui Min's calm voice sounded in the room.
"You've also heard that sentence, it's not that you have to send charcoal in the snow, but you have to talk about the scenery and poetry."
The henchman was shocked: "The envoy wants to ......"
"It's not the time yet." He looked down, his gaze resting on the thick stack of papers.
The new medical books have not yet been compiled, and new prescriptions are always insufficient. The young man who can write ten new recipes in one breath in the spring exam is not to be underestimated.
But talented people are always free of talent, which is not good.
Therefore, she has to be tortured first, full of despair, and when there is no way to die, then lend a helping hand, and then you can gain the other party's gratitude, awe and death-determined trust.
I want to be a charcoal giver in the snow.
But the snow isn't cold enough right now.
"Wait a little longer." Cui Min closed his eyes: "Wait for the day when she takes the initiative to ask for it." ”
Cui Min: I want to send charcoal in the snow!
Six Cylinders: ? You're weird
