Chapter 139: Reward
It rained for two days in a row, and the sky finally cleared.
In the imperial medicine courtyard, the stone iris moved the damp herbs to dry in the sun, and sat on a chair at the entrance of the courtyard to take a nap.
The errands of the Imperial Medicine Hospital are not as busy as those of the Medical Hospital, but they are not idle. However, for people who have no ambition and just want to fool around and get by, this is a beautiful thing.
Shi Calamus is in the Imperial Medicine Institute that has advanced in the past 20 years, and after 20 years, the colleagues on his side have either been promoted and climbed up, or they have fallen to death in the middle of the climb, and he is the only one who is stable and steady, and he has the momentum of not giving up on the position of this doctor.
The boss always hates and scolds him, the Imperial Medicine Institute is the same as the Medical Academy, as long as it is valued by nobles, there is a good future. He has been in the palace for many years, not to mention the blue eyes of the nobles, he didn't even praise a word, and he achieved the word "mediocrity" to the extreme.
Every time his boss scolded him, Shi Iris was submissive on the surface, looking sad and self-blaming, but his eyes were rolling all over the sky.
What do they know?
This imperial medicine hospital and the medical hospital next door, one of the people in it are sick. Today I make six bottles of medicine, tomorrow he will make seven. Today, in order to ponder the way for the nobles, he lights the lamp and boils the wax to the child, and I will never stop tomorrow when he is not ugly.
In the end, the body of the competing person collapsed, and the young white hair grew a head, and he cheapened the nobles in the palace for nothing, just to get the nobles a sentence of "value".
Shh
The calamus scoffed.
Anyway, although the silver is not rich enough, he can't spend a lot of money himself. If you do everything in moderation, others don't expect much from him, so you don't have to force yourself to be motivated.
It's time to be fooled.
The stone iris turned over, found a comfortable position under the sun, and before her eyes were closed, a voice suddenly came from her ears: "Calamus!" ”
He stood up with a spirit: "Your Excellency." ”
The person who came was Qiu He, the envoy of the Imperial Medicine Academy.
Qiu He was over the age of six, and his snow-white beard and eyebrows trembled when he ran, and Shi Iris was afraid that his old bones would scatter when he ran, so he hurriedly got up to meet him: "This is ...... the envoy of the hospital."
"Yimengdan......" The old courtyard envoy stood still holding his arm, panting and speaking.
Shi Iris said in his heart, sure enough, here it is again.
Every year, Yimengdan is sent to Concubine Rou Niangniang, and there is no doubt that she will be scolded by the people in the palace of Concubine Rou soon, which is nothing more than that the medicinal effect is mediocre and the number of pills is not enough, and a bunch of wastes in the Imperial Medicine Institute are just eating and not knowing how to work, and sooner or later they will all be driven out of the palace.
Fortunately, over the years, Shi Iris has heard all these words, and has also figured out a way, without waiting for Qiu He to speak, he immediately raised his sleeves and lowered his eyebrows to repent first.
"The envoy is right, this year's Yimeng Dan is not effective, it's all my fault." He admitted his mistake and recognized it very sincerely: "It's all my fault, my pharmacological skills are mediocre, and I live up to the trust of Concubine Rou." However, there are not many raw materials, and the medicinal properties fade quickly, so it is really difficult to come up with a solution. The envoy of the hospital can rest assured that the next official will work hard to study, and strive to find a way to consolidate the efficacy of the medicine next year, so that Concubine Rou Niangniang can solve the problem of insomnia and share the worries of the nobles. ”
Qiu He: "You ......"
Shi Calamus nodded: "Yes, yes, it's not good for me, the court envoy should be punished, he should be scolded, and the lower officials will have nothing to say." ”
Qiu He: "I ......"
Shi Calamus: "Yes, yes, the adults of the hospital worry about me all day long, Calamus is deeply ashamed, you must not be angry, the imperial medicine hospital is still counting on you." ”
The old courtyard envoy stomped his foot and said angrily: "You can listen to me!" ”
Stone Iris immediately shut up.
"Someone from Concubine Rou's palace just came, saying that the Yimeng Pill you sent this year has a good effect, and I specially rewarded it." Qiu He patted him on the shoulder, his smile was full of relief, "Calamus, in the past, I was worried that you were not motivated enough, but I didn't expect that you were working hard quietly." Heaven will not be unkind to those who are prepared, your time has come! ”
Stone Calamus: "Huh? ”
……
The envoy of the old courtyard came over and gave a few instructions, and then asked the stone iris to go with him to receive the reward.
Until the big palace maid beside Concubine Rou left, Shi Iris still felt muddy and unreal.
God, this is really a windfall, and the luck road is smashing people off guard. However, it is not a good thing for Shi Calamus, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and he hopes to be a doctor in the imperial medicine hospital for a lifetime, who knows that he will suddenly be valued by Concubine Rou, look, the eyes of his colleagues around him immediately turned wrong, don't really think that he secretly got up in the middle of the night to develop a new medicine, right?
Twenty years of hard work have come to naught, and the stone calamus heart is dripping blood.
Which bastard is going to hurt him!
Qiu He turned around and said to him in a gentle tone that he had never had in the past many years: "But Calamus, which pharmaceutical recipe did you change to make this year's Yimeng Pill more effective. Concubine Rou is not an easy person to please. ”
Change the recipe?
Shi Calamus replied in a panic: "My lord, the lower officials know that they are shallow and ugly, and the medicine is shallow, how dare they rashly tamper with the prescription." This year, the prescription used by Yimengdan is still the same as before. The pharmaceutical process is no different. ”
This is not lying, after all, a person who can fool all day long, how can he have nothing to do with himself?
It's not that you're full.
Qiu He frowned: "Really? ”
"It's true!"
This is strange, Concubine Rou Niangniang specially sent someone to reward, and the effect of Yimeng Dan cannot be fake. In the Imperial Medicine Academy, all the Yimeng Pills were made by Shi Iris himself, and he never faked his hands to others. If the prescription is not changed, the pharmaceutical process is the same as before, why is the effect different?
The old courtyard envoy groaned for a while and said, "You take me to the pharmacy to have a look." ”
"Yes."
Not far from the pharmacy, Shi Iris helped Qiu He over, and as soon as he entered the pharmacy, the house was full of bitter medicinal fragrance.
Shi Calamus pointed out the location of his medicine to Qiu He: "Master Envoy, I will make medicine here." In the past few days, no one has been here. This is the leftover half bottle of waste medicine. ”
Qiu He nodded, picked up the medicine bottle and poured out a few pills, put them under his nose and sniffed lightly.
Shi Iris's head turned sideways, and at a glance, I saw that there were still three or two leftover red flocculents scattered under the pharmacy, which were red and gorgeous, like red blood lines in the dimly lit pharmacy, which was very eye-catching.
It was probably a leak during the cleaning two days ago, and the toxicity of the red flocculent gradually decreased as it was picked, and the effect of the medicine was no longer effective after seven days at most. The scattered branches were useless, and the stone iris squatted down, picked up the two stumps on the ground, and planned to throw them into the bamboo basket.
The herb is not toxic, and naturally loses its taste, and when the flower branches brush over the human face, it loses its dizzying aroma and becomes faint, but the color is still bright like blood.
It's like it's just been taken off.
Well...... Just picked it off?
Shi Irisi was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully at the herbs in his hand.
The red flowers are extremely bright, and the only remaining tidbits are glued to the emerald green flower branches, which is more attractive than the red plum in winter.
The stone iris stared at the flower branch in her hand, and her expression gradually changed.
The tidbits of red fluff are poisonous, but as the tidbits become less meditative, the color will gradually fade. However, at present, although the fragrance of the two red flowers in the hand is gone, the color still maintains the appearance of the freshly picked up, and there is no wilting.
This is different from the old days.
He suddenly spoke: "The envoy of the courtyard ......"
"How?"
"It's a flower ......"
He turned around, put the flower branch in front of Qiu He, and said excitedly: "It's not a prescription, it's a flower, it's a flower that has changed!" ”
……
When the South Pharmacy received the news from the Imperial Pharmacy, it was the time for a nap in the afternoon.
Zhu Mao was woken up from his sleep, his shoes were not yet on, and he was wearing a robe and belt while hurrying out of the house to greet people.
When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw two people sitting in the hall. One had gray hair, the other was younger, dressed in a stone-colored robe, and was looking around.
Zhu Mao hurriedly walked into the door and saluted to the gray-haired old man: "Envoy Qiu." ”
The person who came was Qiu He, the envoy of the Imperial Medicine Academy.
Although the South Pharmacy is subordinate to the Medical Officer's Hospital, the Imperial Pharmacy and the Medical Officer's Hospital also have mutual contacts, and Cui Min, the envoy of the Medical Officer's Hospital, is a little polite to Qiu Heshang, not to mention his little medical supervisor.
Zhu Mao instructed his subordinates to serve tea to the two, and said with a smile: "I don't know what happened when the envoy of the Qiu Yuan suddenly came?" ”
Qiu He, an envoy of the Imperial Pharmacy, if there is something to call someone over and say, why bother to go to the South Pharmacy in person. Zhu Maosu has rarely seen even Cui Min in the day, and suddenly such a "big man" came, so he naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, and he dealt with it with 120,000 points of spirit.
Qiu He didn't speak, just coughed lightly, and the stone iris on the side took the initiative to speak: "Today's disturbance is actually for the red fang that was sent to the imperial medicine hospital before......"
Red flocculent?
Zhu Mao was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with Hongfangfu?" ”
Shi Calamus and Qiu He glanced at each other, and then turned their heads and asked Zhu Mao: "Medical Supervisor Zhu, the red floc sent this year is different from previous years...... I wonder if it's the person who cleaned up the herbs? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Mao's heart "chuckled".
Hongfangyuan is poisonous, so a piece of Hongfangyuan has always been handed over to He Xiu to deal with. He Xiu is cowardly and wooden, and there has been no problem picking and cleaning up the red flocculent over the years. Until this year...... This year, the people who picked the red flocculation have one more Lu Yu in their hands.
Lu Yu did not have brown poisonous spots on his face, which was just a reason for him to find fault. But if you really want to talk about it, no one knows whether Lu Yu picked the red floc or what he did when he cleaned up the medicinal herbs.
She can't really do anything in the red flocs, right? Zhu Mao was shocked in his heart.
How dare she!
Thinking of this, Zhu Mao immediately made a decision and got up suddenly: "Returning to the hospital, the number of medical workers picking red flocculent has indeed increased this year. Unlike previous years. Turning his head, he called the medical worker outside: "Come on, go and call He Xiu!" ”
The medical worker left quickly, and after a short time, he led He Xiu into the house.
He Xiu was checking the medicinal materials in the medicine storehouse, and was suddenly taken away by the medical worker, and she was worried in her heart, and she didn't know what Zhu Mao asked her to do. As soon as he entered the house, before he could see who was in the house, he greeted Zhu Mao and asked, "He Xiu!" The day before yesterday, you said that the picking and cleaning of red flocculent was all done by Lu Yu alone, but is it true? ”
He Xiu was startled, he didn't know what the situation was, and hurriedly knelt down to argue: "My lord, what I said is absolutely true, Doctor Lu is definitely not lazy. On the contrary, she saw that I was disturbed by the red flocculent tidbits, and my breathing was not smooth, and she took care of most of the red flocculents, as well as cleaning up the medicinal herbs afterwards, which was also done by Doctor Lu. ”
She also thought that Zhu Mao was calling her for Lu Yu's laziness, so she immediately took all the credit on Lu Yu, who knew that Zhu Mao's next sentence almost made her soul fly.
Zhu Mao said: "In this way, the one who did his hands and feet in the red fang was also done by Lu Yu alone?" ”
"Hands and feet?"
He Xiu's unfinished words were blocked in his throat in an instant, and he was at a loss for a moment: "What are you doing?" ”
No one answered her, Zhu Mao turned around, bowed to the two people in the seat, and lowered his eyebrows, his tone was rare serious: "Lord Envoy, you have heard it, the red fang floc is picked and cleaned by these two people. After a pause, he continued: "In the past many years, He Xiu has never made a mistake in completing it alone, and this year I want to increase the number of people in the pharmacy, so Xia Guan deliberately sent one more person to the medicine garden to help, but I didn't expect this woman to harbor evil intentions...... All of them were ignored by the lower officials. ”
Although the words are pleading, every word is prevarication, and he plucks himself out of the whole thing without a trace.
The stone calamus, who often replaces the pot on the peak, looks down on his style very much.
Looking at the trembling medical workers on the ground, I can't help but feel a little pitiful for the same disease.
Zhu Mao was still saying: "The Lu family is still in the South Pharmacy, and the Lord of the Imperial Court wants to punish the crime......
"Punishment? Who said there was going to be a punishment? Stone Iris interrupted him.
Zhu Mao's voice stopped abruptly.
Shi Iris rolled her sleeves, deliberately walked to He Xiu's side slowly, looked down at He Xiu, and said with a pleasant face: "You just said that this time the red fang was cleaned up and sorted out, and it was all done by Doctor Lu alone?" ”
He Xiu's body trembled.
She gradually understood Zhu Mao's words, and there was a problem with the batch of red fangfu sent to the Imperial Medicine Academy. But no one knows what Lu Yu did. She wanted to hide it for Lu Yu, but she was timid by nature, and in the face of the sharp eyes of the people in front of her, she finally didn't dare to lie, and answered honestly: "...... Indeed, Dr. Lu's action in cleaning up the red floc was swift and not suffering from the tidbits, and I saw that the red flocculent after she cleaned up was cleaner than mine, so I didn't stop it......"
"This batch of red flocculents sent to the Imperial Pharmacy was all cleaned up by Dr. Lu."
The stone iris let out an "oh" and nodded meaningfully.
Zhu Mao sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, which was not what he thought, and said uneasily: "Shi Yizheng, what the hell ......is this?"
"Calamus," Qiu He, who had been sitting without speaking, finally couldn't stand it, and raised his eyebrows to reproach: "Don't tease Medical Supervisor Zhu." ”
Only then did Shi Iris turn around and show a sincere smile: "Okay, Doctor Zhu, in fact, we are not here to discuss crimes, but to reward merit." This batch of red aromatic flocculent sent has strong medicinal properties, and the Yimeng Pill made of it is quite loved by Concubine Rou. The envoy came to the South Pharmacy just to meet the doctor who cleaned up the red flowers. ”
"To have such a powerful technique, that person should not be underestimated. In the past, I didn't know that South Pharmacy was such a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”
He said seriously, and at the end, he looked around: "I don't know where that Doctor Lu is now?" Please come out and meet you! ”
Every time he said a word, Zhu Mao's expression stiffened a little, until Shi Iris asked the last sentence, and Zhu Mao stood in place, like a stone eroded by the wind, and his face was very ugly.
There was no answer for a long time.
Just when Shi Iris was puzzled, He Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly bowed down and said loudly: "Lord Hui, I know where she is." ”
"Doctor Lu is currently in the Shennong ancestral hall in the backyard, kneeling down and thinking about it!"
