Renxin Medical Center is very lively today.

Early in the morning, Du Changqing took Ah Cheng to buy meat at the Dai Ji butcher shop at Miaokou in the east of the city.

Yin Zheng and Miao Liangfang were wiping the floor in the medical hall, and Miao Liangfang stood outside the door, watching Yin Zheng step on the chair and wipe the plaque outside the door.

Tailor Ge from the tailor shop across the street got up to set up a stall, and when he saw that the hospital was busy, he asked more: "The silver kite girl got up so early, what guests are coming today?" ”

On weekdays, I haven't seen Renxin Medical Center so tossed.

Yinzheng stood on the chair and turned around, smiling at the tailor: "Today, our girl is back in the hospital!" ”

Oh, it turned out to be Dr. Lu returning to the hospital!

Tailor Ge suddenly realized, and glanced at Miao Liangfang, who was carefully putting out a trick on the medicine jar at the door, and couldn't help muttering: "Go back, go back, such a big battle, I don't know that I thought the bride was going back to the door." ”

Sister-in-law Song from the silk shoe shop came out of the shop and gave him a blank look: "Renxin Medical Center is Dr. Lu's home, isn't it just going back to her mother's house!" ”

He walked to the door of the medical hall and beckoned Yinzheng to come over, and handed over a basket of fresh yellow loquats: "Yesterday, I heard from the shopkeeper Du that Dr. Lu ...... No, it's Doctor Lu who is coming back. The loquat that his father picked by himself was sweet and fresh, and he took it back to wash it and gave it to Medical Officer Lu to taste. ”

Yinzheng pushed: "How is this so good......"

"Why are you still polite?" Sister-in-law Song was anxious, "Don't look down on our neighbors because you are an official, turn around and be free, ask Medical Officer Lu to come to our silk shoe shop to choose a few new pairs of shoes." He pulled the silver zither and whispered: "Doctor Lu has entered the imperial city, and he knows a lot of young talents, so don't patronize Widow Sun if there is a suitable one, and also pay attention to our little sister." ”

Yinzheng laughed dryly, and finally sent Sister-in-law Song away, and Miao Liangfang was calling her again.

The old doctor squatted at the door of the medical hall, staring intently at the messy array of medicine jars on the counter, and said cautiously: "Miss Yinzheng, how do you say this jar should be placed?" Is it better to put it in a flower, or in four words, 'Welcome home'? ”

Silver Kite: "......"

Tailor Ge said that Lu Yu returned to the hospital and made a formation for the bride to return to the door, although it was exaggerated, but in fact it was not much worse.

Lu Yu came back two days ago and said that he was going back to the hospital today, and as soon as he heard the news, the Renxin Medical Center was busy.

Du Changqing consulted his fox friends who opened a restaurant a few days in advance, and planned to return to Lu Yu early...... No, it's the menu of the museum, and I took Ah Cheng to the vegetable market and the butcher shops to sweep, and the chickens bought the chickens and the fish, and I didn't see such a grand New Year.

Yinzheng and Miao Liangfang repaired the lame wooden tables and chairs in the shop, and the pennant that said that the medicine was eliminated was wiped ten times a day by Ah Cheng, but there was no need to wipe it. If it weren't for the silver kite to stop him, Du Changqing would have to prune even the leaves of the plum tree at the door.

In the days when Lu Yu was away, the medical hall was opened in an orderly manner, and no one seemed to think that there was anything missing from one person. But when Lu Yu was about to come back, everyone missed it like a flood that had discharged the sluice, and it couldn't be closed.

Looking forward to it.

The sun gradually rose overhead, Du Changqing led Ah Cheng to carry two large baskets of vegetables and meat, and then rushed into the small kitchen in the courtyard and began to work. Until the aroma of boiling bones gradually wafted from the small courtyard to the sky above West Street, until the tailor Ge on the other side of the street had eaten lunch, and there was no shadow of Lu Yu at the door of the medical hall.

Du Changqing sent Ah Cheng to the street to look at the entrance a few times but didn't see anyone, standing under the plum tree at the entrance of the hospital with an iron spoon for stir-frying, like an anxious old mother who couldn't wait for her daughter to return to the door, her brows were tightly locked and she muttered: "What time is it, why haven't you come back?" ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden movement of carriage wheels in front of him.

Du Changqing's spirit was shocked, and he saw the broken carriage clanging and shaking, and slowly stopped at the door of the medical hall.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young woman with a medical box on her back stepped from the carriage.

"Lu ......" Before Du Changqing could say the remaining two words, he heard the silver kite behind him say "girl", and suddenly pushed him away and ran over.

Lu Yu got out of the carriage and was hugged tightly by a person in front of him.

The choked voice of the silver kite was in his ears: "You're finally back!" ”

She was stunned, and in the face of this sudden intimacy, she was a little at a loss for a while, and after a long time, she reached out and patted the back of the silver kite.

Miao Liangfang was standing with Ah Cheng on crutches, Du Changqing was wearing an apron, and looked at her with a weird look: "So late? The food is going to be cold, and I thought that Doctor Lu would not come back today. He rolled his eyes at the carriage behind Lu Yu again: "If you have all the people who have received the money, you can't hire a decent carriage, Hanqi!" ”

Lu Yu was speechless for a moment.

Du Changqing's appearance is really very similar to Song's sister-in-law who taught Song Xiaomei next door.

When people come back, there is no reason to wait at the door of the medical hall. Everyone went inside with Lu Yu, the bunk was still the same, the medicine cabinet table was wiped clean, the pennant on the wall of the main entrance was as golden as ever, but the calligraphy and painting on the medicine cabinet had changed.

A whole pair of silk paper hangs, still a silver kite hairpin flower small Kai, on the top of the Juan Juan Xiuxiu wrote: cloudy and sunny round and short are closed, and happy in the world of good season.

Lu Yu stared at the poem seriously, and heard Miao Liangfang, who was walking in front, smile and said: "Doctor Lu, I made one of the recipes you left first, although I can't sell 'Spring Aquatic Life' again this year, and the income of the medical hall shop is also good." ”

"The Xinglin Hall next door is gone, and the neighbors of West Street are all seeing patients in our hospital, and sometimes the old man is too busy alone, but fortunately, Ah Cheng and Miss Yinzheng can also help."

Du Changqing was unhappy: "What you said, didn't the owner help?" Don't forget who gave you the monthly give! ”

His words were tacitly ignored by everyone.

Ah Cheng raised the felt curtain: "Doctor Lu, come in!" ”

Lu Yu followed.

The small courtyard seems to be the same as before, the bluestone slabs have been washed clean by water, glowing with layers of green, and there is a red gauze lantern hanging on the plum tree in front of the window. It is a spring day, and the red of the silver zither planted under the window is fully blooming, and it is bright and bright under the banana leaves, and it is full of red clouds.

Yinzheng pulled Lu Yu into the inner room to look, and said with a smile: "Knowing that the girl is coming back, I washed the bedding in this house a few days ago and dried it and put it back on, and I also went to the Guanxiang Flower Market to buy two camellias——"

Lu Yu followed the direction of her finger and looked at the white porcelain vase on the table in front of the window, there were two fresh camellias, and the straw saucer on one side was filled with black dates, boiled chestnuts and orange cakes, and a handful of bean candy that I don't know who put it.

Seeing Lu Yu looking over, Yinzheng whispered, "...... It was bought by Ah Cheng, saying that the girl likes sweetness, so she deliberately went to the fruit shop to weigh two taels. As he spoke, he handed Lu Yu a piece: "Girl, try it?" ”

The simple and even a little rough bean candy lay in the palm of his hand, Lu Yu lowered his head, slowly peeled off the candy paper and put it in his mouth.

The earthy sweetness melts from the tip of the tongue.

Lu Yu was in a trance.

When he was still in Changwu County when he was a child, Lu Qian returned home from school from the academy every half month, and his family was like this.

Father and mother prepared Lu Qian's favorite meals early, Lu Rou swept the floor of the small courtyard over and over again, she had nothing to do, she sat on the threshold and held her cheeks after eating at noon, she knew that the sunset occupied the entire mountain, and Lu Qian would appear before the long street in front of the door was dyed by dusk.

He would always come home before dusk.

And Lu Yu would always jump forward and circle his bookcase, waiting for him to pull out a handful of bean candy from his arms—he would bring her the best soybean candy sold in the grocery store at the entrance of the academy.

“…… Girl? ”

The sound of a silver kite came to my ears.

Lu Yu came back to his senses, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "I didn't ...... Bring you something. ”

Yinzheng was stunned for a moment, and Du Changqing, who was walking out, stumbled under his feet when he heard this, and almost didn't fall, and turned around and exclaimed: "Doctor Lu, did you have a brain problem in the medical hospital?" What nonsense? ”

Miao Liangfang pushed Du Changqing forward: "Don't say a word, the chicken in the pot is still stewed, and it hasn't eaten since noon, so hurry up and set the meal." Don't starve Xiao Lu. ”

Ah Cheng happily responded and went to the kitchen to serve food.

Silver Kite pulled Lu Yu to sit down at the stone table in the small courtyard.

Strange to say, in the past, when only two people lived here, Lu Yu and Yinzheng often felt lonely. Nowadays, there are many people, and they still feel a little narrow.

Du Changqing and Ah Cheng brought out the food, and set up a table full of meat dishes such as "steamed sheep with wine", "red boiled chicken", "honey boiled spots" and "chicken yuan fish".

Yinzheng sandwiched a big green tuan and put it in Lu Yu's bowl, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Qingming was doing a youth tuan, and I wanted to say that I would make a few and send them to the medical hospital for the girl to taste, but Uncle Miao said that the kitchen of the medical hospital was available, so I didn't go, but fortunately the girl came back." She said: "This year's Youth League is made by everyone, the fresh mugwort leaves sent by Widow Sun, the girl should try it while it's hot!" ”

The green group was clear and green, like a green fruit, Lu Yu lowered his head and took a bite. Xu is to take care of her taste, the dumplings are glutinous and sweet, and when you bite into it, it is full of fragrance.

After a pause, she said, "It's very fragrant." ”

Du Changqing kept staring at her movements, and when he saw her praise, he said proudly: "Nonsense, of course what you do is better than what the medical hospital does." I said, there is not everything in the Imperial City! ”

Ah Cheng pouted: "I don't believe it." He raised his hand and poured a bowl of green plum soup and pushed it to Lu Yu, raised his head and asked curiously, "Doctor Lu also told us what the medical hospital looks like." Is the bed soft? What do you eat every day? What kind of incense do those adults use on weekdays? What's the fun to hear? ”

Du Changqing slapped him on the head: "You know the fun!" ”

Ah Cheng covered his head and glared at him angrily: "Dongjia, Uncle Miao said that the head will not grow tall!" ”

Children are always curious, Lu Yu smiled and answered patiently one by one.

After speaking, everyone nodded one after another, and Lu Yu wanted to ask how the Renxin Medical Center was doing, but as soon as he spoke, Du Changqing patted his chest and said.

“…… That's certainly good. Although you are not there, the medical hall is still lively every day, and Lao Miao sells well the new medicine according to your prescription, and I am impatient to keep an account. ”

“…… A few days ago, the roof leaked, and someone repaired it, thinking that this shop was also some years old, and the medicine was very narrow, and I wanted to expand it next to it with money. You're back just in time, see how big it is for me? ”

“…… Old seedlings? Lao Miao is terrible now, he looks old, he can bluff people, to be honest, there are more people who come to him for a consultation than when you were there. It can be seen that the old bark can also have another spring. ”

"I won't mention the silver kite, eat me and live mine, her temper is still big, and she is often unhappy to say a few words, if it weren't for your people, I would have taught her a good lesson and taught her to know what it means to respect the owner."

“…… Ah Cheng is not young after the New Year, Yinzheng teaches him literacy or something on weekdays, I estimate that if he can't learn Wu Xiucai, let him go to school, in case he passes the exam, I will be able to pay homage to the sons of many officials and enjoy the blessings......"

"Anyway, it's business as usual, you can't get rich and you can't starve, if you can't work in the medical hospital, you can come back. For the sake of our previous friendship, the owner should give you a doctor to sit in the hall......"

He babbled a lot.

It is mixed with Ah Cheng's interruption and Miao Liangfang's rebuttal, or the sarcasm of the silver kite, which is a little noisy, but it is like the sun shining above people's heads in this April spring, and the warmth is reassuring.

The meal was long and long.

Du Changqing was the first to get drunk again.

Ah Cheng helped the eldest young master go home early, so as not to vomit all over the ground like in the New Year. Miao Liangfang still wanted to say a few more words to Lu Yu, but there were people in the shop in front of him who came to see him, so he couldn't delay, so he could only go to see the patient first - without Xinglintang, the only hospital on West Street would be precious.

Lu Yu and Yinzheng cleaned up the leftovers in the courtyard, and sat down to rest for a while, the sun gradually sank in the west, and the plum tree at the entrance of the medical hall was blown by the evening wind.

Night is coming.

Yinzheng sat in the courtyard with Lu Yu for a while, until Miao Liangfang came in in front and urged, saying that it was getting late and the door would be closed, and let Yinzheng go to the front to count the remaining medicinal materials for today, and Yinzheng went out first.

Lu Yu was the only one left in the courtyard.

The evening glow, the sun set, gradually the light dimmed, but the sky faintly brightened, a shallow crescent moon appeared in the silver blue sky, thin hanging on the tip, with the floating clouds on the horizon gathered and scattered faintly bright.

Lu Yu sat with his eyes down.

She stayed in the medical hospital for several months, treating people every day, making medicines, picking red fragrances, and giving injections to Jin Xianrong, her heart was always unwavering, like stagnant water.

However, as soon as you enter the Renxin Medical Center, you will get a trace of vitality like this stagnant water, which is a completely different kind of tranquility, as if the kite has gained a thin line with the world in the skyless sky, which cannot be seen or touched, but it is implicated in each other.

There was a commotion behind him.

The silver kite opened the felt curtain, and the wind outside passed through the curtain. She walked to the courtyard under the plum tree, and lit the red gauze lantern hanging on the top, and the small courtyard had a little golden red light.

Miao Liangfang followed behind her: "Xiao Lu." ”

He hesitated, his hand holding the crutch tightened and loosened, Yinzheng looked at Lu Yu, then at Miao Liangfang, and smiled: "There are still some medicinal herbs in the kitchen, I'll go over and clean up first, so as not to be caught by rats at night." ”

After speaking, he left with an oil lamp.

Miao Liangfang breathed a sigh of relief, limped to the stone table with a crutch, and sat down opposite Lu Yu.

"Mr. Miao."

Lu Yu looked at Miao Liangfang.

Miao Liangfang looks a little different from the past.

When she left, Miao Liangfang had not yet officially sat in the medical hall, although Du Changqing said that he wanted him to practice in the medical hall, although Miao Liangfang was excited, he was not lacking in apprehension when he looked at it. He hadn't seen him for months, but his beard had grown somewhat, washed clean, and trimmed to the shape of a goat's whisker. Wearing a brown linen robe with wide sleeves, the linen is tied up in a bun, and the former rickets are not seen, and they are a little more sparse.

Indeed, he is like an experienced and well-tempered old doctor.

Lu Yu smiled: "Mr. Miao looks good lately. ”

Miao Liangfang also laughed, and sighed with some emotion: "It's good." ”

When he was kicked out of the hospital, he did not and did not dare to practice medicine for many years, and he never thought that he would have the opportunity to treat people in his lifetime. The neighbors of West Street don't know about his past, he treats people in Du Changqing's medical hall, sometimes he doesn't accept the diagnosis money when the patients are poor, Du Changqing sees it, and he just turns a blind eye.

What is embarrassing is that many years ago, he wanted to pass the spring examination to enter the Hanlin Medical Hospital, but now when he has nothing, he has to practice the teachings of his ancestors for many years-

"Don't take too much, but let it go. If the sick family is destitute, they will not take anything, especially if they are benevolent and incorruptible. ”

The world makes people.

Retracting his thoughts, Miao Liangfang looked at Lu Yu, looking a little worried: "What about you, Xiao Lu...... After entering the medical hospital, have you been embarrassed? ”

When ordinary medical workers first enter the medical hospital, what kind of differential treatment they will receive, Miao Liangfang knows better than anyone else. He also had grievances back then, not to mention a young and delicate girl like Lu Yu.

"Nope." Lu Yu shook his head, "Everything is going well in the Medical Officer's Hospital, and nothing happened to her." After a pause, she continued: "It's just that I promised Mr. Miao, but I can't fulfill it now, and I don't want to take risks when I first enter the medical hospital." ”

She was talking about dealing with Cui Min.

Hearing this, Miao Liangfang waved his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "I just want to tell you that it is too dangerous for a girl's family to do this, and the original matter, "Miao's Good Prescription"...... Don't force it. ”

Perhaps when people live a comfortable life, they will thank God for their mercy, and their "hatred" and "unwillingness" will be diluted a lot. Now I have found stability in the Renxin Medical Center, and I am a little relieved of the past. He thought that although Cui Min took away "Miao's Good Prescription" and changed it to "Cui's Pharmacology", in the final analysis, the prescription was passed on to doctors all over the world to benefit the people.

This grace leads to heaven and earth, so you don't have to care who the person who will live forever is.

And Lu Yu doesn't have to ruin his good future for his own selfishness.

Lu Yu was silent.

After a while, she slowly spoke: "I will definitely do what I promised Mr., this is the condition for you and me to make a good deal at the beginning." ”

"Little Land ......"

"Actually, when I came back today, I still want to ask Mr. Miao about something." Lu Yu interrupted him.

Miao Liangfang was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

The whole West Street was plunged into a deep night, and the wind blew from above, blowing the red gauze lanterns hanging from the plum trees and pulling at the messy shadows on the ground.

Lu Yu retracted his gaze.

She said: "Mr. Miao has been a hospital envoy in the medical hospital for many years, and he should have read all the medical cases recorded by all the officials in the medical bank of the medical hospital. ”

"I want to ask Mr. Miao, the son of Qi Yutai, the grandson of the current Taishi Qi Qing Mansion, ......"

"Have you ever had a delusion of vision or confusion in the past?"

Miao Liangfang was stunned.

There was silence all around.
