After a few more days, the weather became hotter and hotter.

The Nanmu Zhaobi carved with giant elephants in front of the Si Li Mansion and meaning "peaceful scene" also looked wilted under the fierce sun for days, and lost its former spirit.

Jin Xianrong couldn't stand the heat the most, so he bought ice early and put it in the corner of the house, on a sultry summer afternoon, there was no heat in the house at all, and the incense burner on the table exuded a sweet fragrance, Jin Xianrong sat on the recliner under the window and shook the fan slowly, stuffing an ice-soaked purple grape into his mouth from time to time, comfortably racing the gods.

He half-squinted his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't know that anyone was coming from the Estriary Mansion until the servant walked up to him and reminded, "My lord, someone is coming." Jin Xianrong opened his eyes, and as soon as he sat up, he saw a young man in a snow-white robe standing at the door of the Si Li Mansion.

This young man was tall and thin, his snow-white robe was blown by the breeze, and his delicate face became more and more lonely and arrogant, Jin Xianrong stared at the other party's face with jealousy for a while, and then came back to his senses and asked the person beside him: "This is ......?"

This is Zhang Sheng's face, but the other party's clothes and jade ornaments are not like ordinary people.

The servant bent down: "My lord, this is Ji Xun Ji Medical Officer of the Hanlin Medical Academy." Seeing that Jin Xianrong was still frowning, he reminded again in a low voice, "The son of the Ji Bachelor's Mansion." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Xianrong shrugged with two broken eyebrows on his face.

Oh, it turned out to be that Ji Xun!

He didn't remember the medical officers of the Medical Officers Hospital very clearly, except for the hospital envoys Cui Min and Lu Yu. After all, he is in good health, and he has not seen a few medical officers for many years before this, so he is not sensitive to the name Ji Xun.

But when it comes to bachelors, it's clear.

The Ji family is a bachelor, each full of wealth, when Mr. Ji was alive, he was a bachelor of Hanlin, and later he had the grace of teaching the first prince.

After the death of the first prince, the old man Ji also died of illness soon after, and now after His Majesty succeeds to the throne, he still treats the Ji family well, and the Ji family's status in the court is really not low.

It's just that the Ji family, as a civil servant and Qingliu, did not participate in the struggle between the party at the beginning, and after the death of the first prince, he was even more distracted by compiling classics, ignoring all external affairs. And Ji Xun, the only concubine of the Ji family, didn't even want to be Wenchen, so he simply ran to become an imperial doctor. Many official families in Shengjing secretly laughed at this, even though Ji Xun's medical skills were superb, even though he could actually be on an equal footing with the envoys in the Hanlin Medical Academy, but when it came to it, how could being an imperial doctor sound glamorous?

Not to mention the risk of losing your head.

Kim Hyun Young thinks so, too.

His heir can't be so unproductive in the future, if he goes to study medicine, he will definitely break his leg.

Thinking like this in his heart, but with a smile on his face, Jin Xianrong stood up, greeted the other party into the house, and ordered the servant to pour tea quickly, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be the medical officer, I don't know what happened when the medical officer suddenly came here?" ”

The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, even though Ji Xun is only an imperial doctor now, the Ji family behind him still makes Jin Xianrong dare not slack off.

He was just puzzled, good manners, what is Ji Xun doing here?

Ji Xun glanced at the luxurious furnishings in the Si Li Mansion, and swept over the jade couch incense table and the golden platform of the painting case for a moment before retracting his gaze, "I heard that Jin Shilang was unwell a few days ago. ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the medical officer knew about it."

Ji Xun looked at him: "How is Jin Shilang feeling recently?" ”

Feel?

Kim Hyun-young was stunned.

He really didn't expect Ji Xun to suddenly ask this.

I have never had any contact with Ji Xun in the past, and I have no friendship, why do you suddenly care? Besides, the entire Sheng Jingjing knew that this Ji Gongzi didn't like to socialize with people, and he was clear and high, but to put it bluntly, he was withdrawn and unsociable, and an unsociable person suddenly cared about himself, and Jin Xianrong's heart suddenly beat a drum.

He cautiously picked out the wording, "At first, it was a little bad, but then I changed to Doctor Lu to consult me, and I feel much better, and I can gradually have sex once or twice occasionally these days, even better than before my illness." Speaking of which, Doctor Lu's medical skills are really good, which is much better than the one sent to me first......"

As he was talking, he was unexpectedly interrupted by the people around him: "You believe in Medical Officer Lu very much?" ”

"Medical Officer Lu is very good, he is young and beautiful......

He thought about it, the officialdom took care of each other, what second life did Lu Yu give him, and in the future, he wanted to ask Lu Yu for more spring dreams, so he praised Lu Yu a few more words.

The servant came out with tea and placed a cup in front of Ji Xun. Ji Xun looked down, the tea soup was bright, and the fragrance of tea diluted the overly sweet aroma in the room, but it made his expression more and more cold.

He interrupted Jin Xianrong's praise: "I know Jin Shilang's illness, but I don't know much about some problems, so I ask people to find the residue of the medicine that Doctor Lu gave to Jin Shilang, and I hope that Jin Shilang will not blame him." ”

Jin Xianrong looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

"I found the remnants of red floc in the dregs. Jin Shilang, among the medicinal materials that Doctor Lu grabbed for you, a little red flocculent was used. ”

Kim Hyun Young was confused.

The name of this medicinal herb was too unfamiliar to him, and he didn't understand medical theory at all, so he had to laugh blankly.

As if knowing his doubts, Ji Xun paused before continuing: "Red Fangfu is poisonous, it is not appropriate to use it in the recipe, and it hurts the body for a long time. After many years, the squire gets older, and the sequelae gradually appears, which will make the squire forget things and have a headache, which is the scourge of poisoning. ”

"Using this poison as a medicine for the illness of the waiter outweighs the loss."

The house was quiet.

After Ji Xun finished speaking, seeing that the person opposite was still staring at him blankly, and he didn't expect to be angry, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and frowned: "Jin Shilang, do you understand what I just said?" ”

Jin Xianrong nodded hurriedly and shook his head again.

"Medical Officer Ji," he pondered the words, "what kind of red and green flowers you just said, I don't study medicine, and I don't understand it very well." But ......"

He swallowed, "This recipe is poisonous, and I know that it hurts my body for a long time." ”

Ji Xun raised his head suddenly: "What?" ”

Jin Xianrong was stunned and replied cautiously: "Doctor Lu has already told me. ”

……

The sun was setting.

As the last bit of sunset fell, the dryness in the courtyard did not subside, and the chirping of cicadas from the branches made the summer evening even quieter.

Under the long corridor outside the pharmacy room, figures wandered on the ground.

The little medicine boy beside him couldn't help but remind: "Childe, it's better to come back later." ”

Ji Xun shook his head.

During the day, he went to the Sili Mansion.

Since he made it clear to Lu Yu at the gate of the medical officer's hospital a few days ago, Ji Xun has been considering whether to return the matter to the hospital. But after thinking about it all night, he still decided to go to the Sili Mansion first to find Jin Xianrong first.

On that day, Lu Yu said in front of the door that only using the stumps of the red fragrant flaming and broken leaves should indeed not violate the laws of the Imperial Medicine Institute, because the stumps and broken leaves belong to "waste" after all, and medical workers can dispose of the waste by themselves.

But if there is a problem with the prescription that Lu Yu gave to Jin Xianrong, it is against the rules of the medical hospital, and he will be suspended from his post at least and convicted at worst.

Ji Xun planned to go to the Sili Mansion to take a look at the statue of Jin Xianrong, and find out how much red flocculent Lu used according to the symptoms.

However, what he didn't expect was that Jin Xianrong, the left Cao waiter of the household department, actually told him that Jin Xianrong knew about Hong Fangxu.

The waiter with broken eyebrows sat in front of him, joking with tea.

"Doctor Lu has already told me the benefits, and after a long time, there will be some problems in the brain. It doesn't matter, I can afford this little bit of a squeeze. Ahem, my little brother is much more important than his brain, and I will plan for the future in the future, and besides, my brain is already smart and rich, and no matter how much I lose, it is better than ordinary people. ”

Ji Xun's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Jin Xianrong is fully aware of the pros and cons, and under this premise, he agrees with Lu Yu's diagnosis method, and Lu Yu's move is in line with the rules. His accusations against Lu Yu were not true.

It was he who was preconceived and aggressive.

In the evening, the cool breeze passed through the court, and the little boy on his side raised his eyes to look at him, and when he saw the young man staring at the door of the pharmacy room, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

His son-in-law was born with a jade tree, erudite and literate, but his temperament was as rigid as a stone.

After learning that he had misunderstood the girl, he immediately came to apologize in person. However, Lu Yu, as a medical envoy of Hanlin, was even busier every day, and after lunch, he rushed into the pharmacy and still hasn't come out.

He waited until he was hungry.

However, his own son-in-law is dead-eyed, and he will never give up until he waits for someone, how can he see that he is apologizing with such a serious look, and those who don't know think that Xingshi is asking for guilt.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door in front of him squeaked-" opened, and Lu Yu walked out of the room with the medical box on his back.

The little medicine boy hurriedly pulled the corner of Ji Xun's robe.

As soon as Lu Yu went out, he saw the two people standing in front of the door, and he couldn't help but pause.

The cool breeze blows the trees, and the cicadas sound intermittently. Ji Xun stood at the door, blocking her way.

"Doctor Lu."

She only paused for a moment, then nodded at Ji Xun: "Medical Officer Ji." ”

The tone was calm and cold, as if the questioning at the door of the medical officer's hospital a few days ago was all hallucination.

Ji Xun pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Today I went to the Sili Mansion and saw Jin Xianrong. ”

"Hmm."

"Jin Shilang said that you have told him that the red floc is used in the prescription and explained the toxic pharmacology of the red flocculent."

"Yes."

He looked at Lu Yu: "In that case, why didn't you explain when you were at the gate of the medical hospital the day before yesterday?" ”

Interpretation?

He said it so seriously and so naturally, as if he would believe it as long as she explained it, which made Lu Yu feel absurd and ridiculous.

There was a long silence before she spoke.

"Actually, there is no need to explain, if you are an ordinary medical officer, you should not add a red flavor to Jin Shilang's prescription, and it is not wrong for the medical officer to comment that I am eager for quick success."

She tilted her head, her tone a little cold.

"It's just that Jin Shilang is more anxious for quick success than me."

Jin Xianrong's illness, using red fangfu as a medicine guide, is stronger than using those mild medicines in the medical hospital. She clearly informed the pros and cons early on, and she was sure that this adult with a brain on the waistband of his pants would be out of control as long as he tasted a little sweetness.

It is difficult for a person who indulges in pleasure to think about the troubles that will arise decades later, after all, Kim Hyun Young's father died in bed back then.

There are some things that there is no need to hide at all.

Ji Xun shook his head disapprovingly: "What about those rumors?" ”

Mrs. Dong once stopped the carriage on his way home and talked to him, and in and out of his words, he ordered Lu Yu to be the first on the red list, and he had a lot to do with Lu Yu. Cui Min, the envoy of the hospital, also tried intentionally or unintentionally, and the implication in his speech seemed to be what Lu Yu himself said.

He knows that it is not easy to be a peaceful person, and he can understand that he wants to find a backer to support himself in the medical hospital, so he did not deliberately debunk it, but he did not like this speculation in his heart after all.

However, after the previous incident of Hongfangfu, Ji Xun gradually became less certain.

He asked Lu Yu: "Those rumors, are they really the autobiography of Doctor Lu?" ”

"Flutter".

The woman in front of him seemed to think that his words were very funny, and she laughed out loud, but the smile looked cold.

"It is rumored that Medical Officer Ji has a lot of relationship with me, and he personally ordered me to be the first on the red list of the spring exam. However, as soon as I entered the hospital, I was assigned to Nan Pharmacy, and later I was assigned to Dr. Kim. ”

She looked at Ji Xun with a mocking look in her eyes.

"It's said that the battle is bullying, and it seems that the power of the medical officer is not very useful."

These words were harsh, and Ji Xun frowned when he heard it, he was a little at a loss for the first time to be so unceremoniously sarcastic.

The woman in front of her looked calm and calm, he was not good at interacting with people, he had always regarded people as simple, but he felt that the person in front of him was very complicated.

The wind and dew became heavier, and the grass blades under the courtyard were rustled by the evening breeze.

After a long time, Ji Xun shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”

No matter what kind of person Lu Yu is, it is always wrong to speculate and slander others at will. He convicted Lu Yu without verification, which was not done by a gentleman.

Lu Yu's heart was shocked.

After a moment of silence, she shook her head, as if laughing at herself, "I have long forgotten what I said before. ”

"Doctor Ji," she took a step back and looked at him politely, "I don't care what others say, and I don't take this matter to heart. So you don't have to apologize to me. ”

"In this world, some people practice medicine to save lives and help the wounded, and to benefit the world, but some people practice medicine just to feed and feed themselves, and they want to earn some money to climb up."

"That's the kind of person I am."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head slightly, and left with the medical box on his back.

The shadow of the light under the eaves changed back to two.

Ji Xun stood for a while, picked up the lamp again, and was about to leave.

The little medicine boy beside him couldn't help but say, "That's it?" ”

"How else?"

"Childe, shouldn't you buy something for Medical Officer Lu to apologize?"

Ji Xun was puzzled: "Didn't she say that she didn't care about what others said, and she had forgotten the previous things a long time ago?" ”

The little boy looked at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"If you really believe the girl's words, you shouldn't really believe it!"

……

Out of the pharmacy room, Lu Yu returned to the dormitory.

The light was lit in the room, and she sat down at the table, and took out a few medical books from the table drawer, still a little uneasy when she thought about what had happened.

Lin Danqing came in from outside the door, put the plum ginger he bought outside on the table, and beckoned Lu Yu to come and eat.

After the embarrassment of drunkenness a few days ago, Lin Danqing returned to his former appearance, and even worse, in the past, in order to maintain his face, he still had to maintain brightness and generosity, but now after turning off the lights, he scolded his colleagues and did not hide it.

It's like a broken jar.

Lu Yu didn't want to eat, so she ate it herself, and said, "Just now I saw Medical Officer Ji talking to you at the door of the pharmacy, why does he keep talking to you recently?" ”

Ji Xun rarely comes to the medical hospital, and he doesn't take the initiative to talk to people when he comes once, and he is very high. Lin Danqing had bumped into him and Lu Yu twice in a row, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that he also has other plans for you?" ”

"'Also'?"

Lin Danqing laughed: "I'm joking." He sighed again: "If you want to say that the face is the best in this Shengjing City, there is a Pei Dianshuai in front of the palace, and a discipline medical officer in our medical hospital, and you can't find any mistakes." It's a pity that there is a problem with one personality, and he can't say a word for three days, and he is very bored. One of them has something to do with the Taishi Mansion. ”

Lu Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Will the Pei family really marry the Taishi Mansion?" ”

"You want to hear the truth?"

Lu Yu nodded.

Lin Danqing shook his head: "Judging from my wise eyes, although the daughter of the Taishi is golden, it may not be able to be done." Don't look at Pei Yunyi's superficial appearance of treating people kindly, he doesn't bend his waist when talking to people, and he is very arrogant in his heart. Miss Qi has to be coaxed every day, how can he have that patience? ”

"I'll see the hanging."

Lu Yu said in his heart, that's good.

In public and private, she didn't want Pei Yunyao to be Qi Qing's son-in-law. Otherwise, the previous debt has not been eliminated, and a new hatred will have to be added.

Lin Danqing didn't know what she was slandering in her heart, so she only stretched her waist: "The daughter of the Taishi is also unsatisfactory, she can only pick one man in her life, so she naturally has to pick seriously, and she is not as good as a concubine like us." ”

"Why don't you do it?"

Lu Yu was puzzled: "Can a concubine pick a lot of men?" ”

I have only heard of men with three wives and four concubines, she has been in Luomei Peak for many years, could it be that women in the Liang Dynasty can also have three husbands and four favors?

Lin Danqing laughed dryly: "There are not so many people staring, just deal with it yourself." The wise ancestor of my family once said, never give up the whole garden for a flower, I will take 3,000 scoops of weak water to drink, how can one scoop be enough? ”

Lu Yu was speechless.

She coughed lightly, and when she saw the thick stack of medical books on Lu Yu's desk, she said curiously: "Isn't it still half a year for the officials of the medical court to investigate, why did you start working hard so early?" Living in the pharmacy every day, you are also working too hard. ”

Lu Yu lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to open the medical book, and took the oil lamp closer.

"I want to make something new." She said.

……

Summer nights are muggy.

When Qi Yutai returned to the mansion, the courtyard lights in the mansion had just turned on.

Although Qi Qing has not forbidden him now, he is not afraid of making trouble, and he must return home before the end of the day.

Today, he also secretly left the mansion, and it was very troublesome to get rid of the subordinates who his father was spying on him.

Qi Yutai walked down the jade steps with his coat open, in the dark night, a pair of eyes were burning and shining, and his face, which had always been yellow, was flushed abnormally, and the placket of his clothes was untied a little, which was similar to the groggy appearance of the previous few days.

A cool breeze blew, Qi Yutai squinted his eyes comfortably, only to feel as if he was walking on the clouds, fluttering and happy.

A few hours ago, he secretly went out on his back and took cold food powder.

The restraint of the past few days was finally relieved, Qi Yutai relieved his addiction, his heart was extremely Tai, the embers had dissipated, but his brain was getting more and more excited after being happy, and he wanted to do something for no reason.

When he had just reached the courtyard, he saw a man passing by with a hound, which was so large and agile that it looked like a calf, and it made people tremble at the sight of it, and he was looking up to pick up the bloody flesh that the servant threw out of the bowl.

Qi Yutai stopped.

The servant also saw the master and hurriedly saluted: "Young master." ”

Qi Yutai was in a good mood, and looked at the hound with a smile: "The tiger is stronger again." ”

The hound seemed to know that Qi Yutai was talking about himself, and turned his head suddenly, revealing his white teeth, and the blood that had just chewed raw meat was mixed with saliva and left a place, fierce as a wild wolf.

Qi Yutai was also shocked.

Soon, however, this fear was replaced by satisfaction.

"Not bad." He was satisfied.

The tiger is Qi Yutai's dog, tall and fierce, feeding raw meat all the year round, the ferocity has not faded, every year of hunting, Qi Yutai takes the tiger to the hunting ground.

He is not good at riding and shooting, and every time he relies on catching tigers to catch a few prey, so as not to be ridiculed by those nobles in private.

He also valued this dog and specially invited someone to raise it. At first, I didn't know the ferocity of this hunting dog, and the subordinate who raised the tiger in front was bitten to death, so he changed the animal trainer from the other race in the back, saying that he could train the wolf into a dog, and sure enough, it was only a few years, and the tiger was trained into a good dog that obeyed Qi Yutai's orders.

The dog trainer looked at his face: "These days, I took the tiger to the farm in the west of the city to hunt every day, so as to prepare for the hunt, and today I bit off the ear of a farmer's child......"

Qi Yutai likes to hear about catching tigers and hurting people, as if the more ferocious the vicious dog, the more it can show the deterrence of the owner. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Yes, you have a meritorious job in dog training, reward!" ”

There is no mention of the peasant child whose ear was bitten off.

Anyway, they will give silver, which is the silver that the untouchables can't earn for decades, and speaking of which, the untouchables still earn.

The dog trainer was still saying: "It's just that when I went home, I was a little unhappy that the young lady found out about it." ”

Qi Yutai disagreed: "My sister is just too soft-hearted. ”

If he wasn't soft-hearted, how could he be ridden on the head by a pariah doctor girl, and he was secretly sad, and he didn't let him make a move, which made his brother feel distressed.

Thinking of the medicine girl, Qi Yutai's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes fell on the hound in front of him.

In the night. The hound purred in its mouth, lowered its head to eat the raw beef in the silver basin, and chewed on the blurred mass of flesh with its sharp teeth, and the sound of "squeaking" made people's hearts tense at night.

He stared at the rotten flesh for a long time, as if he had seen something else through the scene in front of him, and his expression gradually became strange.

After a long time, Qi Yutai spoke.

"You say, if I want the tiger to bite whoever he wants, can I do it?"

The dog trainer was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Back to the young master, naturally you can." ”

After a pause, the subordinate raised his head and asked tentatively, "Who does the young master want the tiger to bite?" ”

Qi Yutai didn't speak.

The wind in the night was like a damp and sultry net, enveloping the bloody air on the ground more and more clearly.

After a while, Qi Yutai turned around.

"Come on."

He said to the dog trainer: "I have something to say to you." ”
