Lamp Flower Smile

It's summer and the sun is scorching.

There were not many pedestrians on West Street in the afternoon, but there was not much noise under the plum tree in front of Renxin Medical Center.

There was a pile of old junk gathered in front of the door. Du Changqing held a rough drawing and discussed with Yin Zheng where to place the new medicine cabinet in front of the door while waving the fan.

The shoe repairman's family next door moved out of West Street, leaving the original shop vacant.

Since Xinglin Tang closed its doors, only Renxin Medical Center’s pharmacy remains on West Street. Miao Liangfang's medical skills are much better than those of Zhou Ji who worked at Xinglin Hall in the past. He is also considerate of the people's hardships and picks up cheap medicinal materials. After a month, sometimes there were too many people, and long queues formed at the door, and the original small medical clinic seemed cramped.

It happened that the shoe repairman was about to move out, so Du Changqing rented the shop next door and opened it up. Renxin Medical Center was suddenly much spacious.

Acheng was walking from a distance carrying several bottles of ginger honey water. He happened to see a carriage stop at the entrance of Renxin Medical Center. The curtain of the carriage was lifted. Acheng took a closer look and shouted: "Doctor Lu!"

Several people in the hospital turned their heads at the same time.

Lu Zhuo jumped out of the carriage.

As soon as she stood still, before she could speak, a beautiful figure passed before her eyes. Yin Zheng hugged her and jumped and laughed: "Girl, why did you come back suddenly and you didn't tell me in advance!"

"Xiao Lu is back?" Miao Liangfang stopped shaking the cattail leaf fan and hurriedly walked out of the bed with a cane.

Lu Zhen got out of the car, and the coachman also got out and helped unload the things on the car.

Du Changqing was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing and asked in surprise: "...it's not even ten days off, has the Medical Officer's Hospital given you leave?"

Lu Yan nodded vaguely.

That's so. The owner folded the drawings and put them in his arms, followed him into the back shop, and hummed: "It's surprising that it will surprise people... Go in and drink some water first, look at how hot it is!"

Lu Chen walked in as he was told, and everyone followed him in. Only Miao Liangfang's eyes fell on the luggage unloaded from the carriage outside the door, and a trace of doubt flashed across his expression.

After entering the house, Acheng handed a tube of the sweet syrup he had just bought to Lu Huan. Lu Huan sat down at the table in the inner shop. The inside of the shop was much cooler than outside, and the strong aroma of the medicine made people feel at ease.

Miao Liangfang leaned against the medicine cabinet, fanning her, and said: "Xiao Lu comes back this time with more baggage than last time. Is the medical hospital on vacation?"

Yin Zheng's eyes lit up: "Is the girl going to stay in the hospital for a few more days this time?"

Lu Chen took a sip of the sweet syrup. The cold sugar water dispelled the summer heat. She lowered her head and said, "I will stay in the hospital for three months."

Everyone was stunned.

Miao Liangfang stopped shaking the fan and said tentatively: "But this is fake..."

"It's not Xiumu, I'm suspended."

The room suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Du Changqing took out his ears and asked Acheng doubtfully: "Did I hear wrongly? What did Doctor Lu just say?"

"I have been suspended." Lu Yan emphasized again.

Being heard clearly this time, Yin Zheng put down the bamboo tube in his hand and said blankly: "...Why?"

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, but his tone remained calm, "I privately checked the drug list issued by the Medical Officer's Hospital to the Royal Pharmacy Hospital. I violated the order, so I was suspended from work for three months."

Du Changqing turned to look at Miao Liangfang: "Is there still such a rule?"

Miao Liangfang stroked his beard and thought: "Vaguely... it seems... it seems... there is indeed such a thing."

"No." Du Changqing glanced at Lu Huan angrily: "Then why are you so busy watching that thing?"

"Just curious."

"Why are you so curious..." He wanted to chatter a few more words, but was interrupted by Acheng: "Doctor Lu, will you return to the Medical Officer's Hospital after three months? It's just a suspension without any other penalties, right? I I heard that if you make a mistake in the imperial city, you will be punished. Have they beaten you? "

Lu Shun smiled: "No, just suspended."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Zheng thought for a moment: "If you are suspended, just suspend your job. It's a matter of three months' salary. I'll ask shopkeeper Du to make up for it later. Originally, even if the girl didn't reply, I wanted to send a message to the Medical Officer's Hospital in a few days. , I want to ask the girl to come back."

"Why?"

"In five days, it will be the 50th anniversary of the opening of Renxin Medical Center. Shopkeeper Du rented the adjacent shop and opened it. He has been busy decorating it these days, waiting for the day when it will open. The girl came back at the right time. The doctor The girl has contributed a lot to the success of the museum. If we want to celebrate, how can we miss out on the heroes? "

Du Changqing listened coldly and hummed: "What? It sounds to me like Dr. Lu is the boss?"

Yin Zheng put her hands on her hips: "Without the girl, Shopkeeper Du's medical clinic can only hold a celebration banquet for forty-nine years at most."

"Hello!"

"Okay, stop arguing." Miao Liangfang raised his hand to stop their quarrel, "Since Xiao Lu is back, let's stay in peace. Sometimes I feel too busy when I sit alone in the restaurant, so you just happened to step in for me. Then The house still needs to be tidied up. I’ll stay here longer this time. Let’s see what Xiao Lu needs. I’ll make up for it in the next few days.”

When Yin Zheng heard this, she clasped her hands together and said, "That's right. Then I'll go and tidy up the house for the girl first. Girl," she lifted the felt curtain and told Lu Zhuo, "You just came back, rest in the shop first and wait for me." Make the bed and come in."

Lu Tong agreed.

Du Changqing asked a few more questions, but when he saw that Lu Zhuo was not very interested, he didn't ask further questions and took Acheng to go next door to clean up again - the shoemaker's shop had just been vacated and the medicine cabinets, tables and chairs had to be rearranged.

Lu Zhuo sat at the table, slowly drinking the sweet syrup in his hand. There were no patients in the back store at the moment. Miao Liangfang took two steps towards the chair in the medicine cabinet, then suddenly turned around and limped. He walked over and sat down opposite Lu Yan.

"Xiao Lu," he looked at Lu Yan and lowered his voice: "Tell me honestly, does the reason why you were suspended have something to do with me?"

Lu Tong paused.

Miao Liangfang stared at her nervously.

He always felt something was wrong.

Lu Chen has always been cautious and cautious in doing things, and is not an impulsive person. How could he go to see the medicine list of the Royal Pharmacy without any reason? There must be something hidden in it.

Du Changqing and Yin Zheng didn't ask because they knew that even if they asked, Lu Yan wouldn't elaborate. She rarely talked about her own affairs.

But what happened in the Imperial City was not something that a small medical clinic on West Street could inquire about at will.

Cui Min is the envoy of the medical hospital, and it was Cui Min who suspended Lu Zhuo for three months...

This was all he could think of.

The sweet syrup mixed with crushed ice in a bamboo tube is held in the palm of the hand, and the palm becomes cold. Lu Yan said: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Miao."

"Xiao Lu, please don't lie to me."

"it is true."

She smiled and said, "I just made a small mistake unintentionally, so I was suspended from my job for three months. Mr. Miao also knew that if I really committed any unforgivable crime, as an ordinary person, I would not just be suspended from my job." Simple."

Miao Liangfang was speechless.

This is indeed true.

"Nowadays, the Medical Court is busy with affairs and is short of manpower. Don't worry, Mr. Miao. I'm just staying here temporarily. Maybe before March, someone from the Medical Court will come to invite me back."

"Nonsense." Miao Liangfang was amused by her, and her worries had dissipated a lot. "Those people have eyes on the top of their heads. How could they lower their status and take the initiative to invite you back?"

Lu Chen remained silent and lowered his head to take a sip of the sweet syrup in front of him.

She made such a scene in the medical hospital. No matter whether anyone believed it or not, she had exposed the most hidden secret in Cui Min's heart.

If it were the past, Cui Min would not have spared her lightly.

But now is the time.

Qi Yutai has just recovered from epilepsy, and Cui Min himself is not sure whether Qi Yutai will suffer from epilepsy again. If Qi Yutai suffers from epilepsy again, whether the previous prescriptions can still be used.

If it doesn't work, who will he find to clean up the mess?

Ji Xun was from a noble family and had extraordinary talents. Cui Min had low self-esteem and arrogance in front of him. He would not bend down to Ji Xun, so he could only use himself as an ordinary person.

Among ordinary people of the same origin, he has a strong sense of superiority and control.

As an unexpected back-up, Cui Min will never give up easily. Even after three months, he did not dare to expel himself from the Medical Officer's Hospital.

A mediocre person with no real talent and knowledge has used his tricks to reach his current high position. No matter how indifferent he appears, he has a guilty conscience deep down.

High-flying birds die of delicious food; fish in deep springs die of fragrant bait.

Just greedy for fame...

She put down the bamboo tube in her hand and asked, "Has the sweet syrup shop in front changed its people?"

"Yes." Miao Liangfang was stunned, "How do you know?"

Lu Chen lowered his head, looked at the clear liquid in the bamboo tube, and smiled.

"Sweeter than usual."

…

The bamboos are shaking and the shadows are clear, and the sun is setting at dusk.

It was already evening when Ji Xun returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital.

At this time, the medical officers all went to have dinner, and there was no one in the grove.

Ji Xun entered the medicine room and picked up an iron box from the bookshelf.

It's said to be an iron box, but it's actually more like an iron box. It's not too big. The lid of the box is open, and there are five or six volumes of letters inside, all of which are somewhat damaged.

He raised his hand, took several volumes of medical books on the table and carefully put them into the box, closed the lid, and hung a small lock. Behind him, medicine boy Zhuling sat on a small teapot, holding her chin up and shaking her head as she watched.

My young master has a good character and a kind heart. Anyone who looks at him will say that he is a good man. Why does he have such an unusual way of thinking when it comes to interacting with others?

Let's talk about the new medical officer, Medical Officer Lu. A few days ago, Zhuling accidentally learned that this Medical Officer Lu was actually a poor girl that her son accidentally saved when passing through southern Jiangsu. She was also very surprised.

There is such a connection!

The medical officer Lu not only recognized the young master, but also returned the personal jade pendant that the young master left behind. Zhuling was very excited when she saw it.

The grace of saving his life, the old friend for many years, the talent and beauty of the man, they are equally matched... and they work together in the Medical Officer's Hospital. If there is nothing wrong with this, it seems to have failed to live up to this happy coincidence arranged by God.

Zhuling waited quietly for something good to happen.

Who knew that Ji Xun's behavior was beyond Zhuling's expectation.

Perhaps it was the guilt caused by the previous misunderstanding of Lu Chen, or maybe it was the past of Su Nan that made Ji Xun closer to Lu Chen. In short, Zhuling could feel that the young master was very considerate and special to this medical officer Lu, at least except for medical books and pharmacology. , this Lu medical officer can arouse the prince's emotions, sorrow and joy.

Ji Xun began to search for medical books and sent them to Lu Xu.

Every once in a while, Lu Zhuo was asked to go to his pharmacy to discuss pharmacology.

Zhuling simply collapsed.

Isn’t this really an early official assessment?

Even though there could have been some beautiful and tender moments between the two of them, in this situation they disappeared in an instant.

What is the difference between this and studying at the Imperial Medical Bureau?

My son doesn’t think that Medical Officer Lu really likes it, does he?

He sighed and heard Ji Xun's voice in his ear: "Why hasn't Doctor Lu come yet?"

Today was the day when Lu Tong came to receive her new medical certificate. Ji Xun specially found a few books for her that were not available in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and there were notes written by him on them.

But the time has passed and Lu Zhuo still hasn't appeared.

Ji Xun said: "Go to the pharmacy and ask."

Bamboo lings say yes.

After about half a cup of tea, Zhuling ran back out of breath, and then she ran to the door of the medicine room and shouted: "Sir, something happened!"

"What's the matter?"

"The little one just went to see Medical Officer Lu. After searching around, he couldn't find anyone. The medical officer in the front office told me that Medical Officer Lu was suspended for three months because he framed the hospital envoy and secretly read the medicine orders. He left the medical officer's hospital in the afternoon!"

Ji Xun stood up suddenly.

"What?"

…

"What? Medical Officer Lu has been suspended?"

In the palace commander's house, someone raised his head in surprise.

Duan Xiaoyan's eyes widened: "You can't lie, can you?"

Lu Zhuo has always been meticulous, and the King of Hell is no match for her, so she is so obedient and suspended from the Medical Officer's Hospital. No matter how hard it sounds, it feels untrue.

Just as he was talking, the gardenia chirped several times in the yard, in a cheerful tone.

Pei Yunying opened the door curtain and walked in.

"elder brother--"

Duan Xiaoyan quickly stood up.

Pei Yunying is very busy these days.

The locust plague in southern Jiangsu, the rebellion in Qishui, which is close to southern Jiangsu, the overt and covert fights between the third prince and the prince... all the court affairs were piled up together, and sometimes Pei Yunying would not return until late at night as soon as he entered the palace. Duan Xiaoyan hasn't seen him for a few days.

Pei Yunying put down the silver knife, glanced at Qing Feng standing in the room, turned around and sat down at the table.

"Why are you standing here stupidly?"

"Master, something happened."

Pei Yunying looked at him.

Qing Feng lowered his head: "Medical Officer Lu left the Medical Officer's Hospital today and went back to West Street."

He paused and his eyes suddenly turned sharp: "What's going on?"

Qing Feng then recounted everything that happened in the medical hospital during the day.

After listening to this, before Pei Yunying could speak, Duan Xiaoyan shouted: "I see, this Cui Min is clearly a thief with a guilty conscience!"

Pei Yunying glanced at him, and Duan Xiaoyan hurriedly lowered his voice: "Qi Yutai is already a lunatic, and someone named Cui is not necessarily very capable. It is not impossible to steal Dr. Lu's official prescription and use it to please the Grand Master's Palace."

"I don't think Medical Officer Lu made a false accusation. What he said is the truth. It's just that he speaks lightly and no one believes it."

Pei Yunying's eyes were heavy, and she suddenly stood up, picked up the silver knife on the table, and seemed to be going out.

"Brother, are you going to stand up for Medical Officer Lu?"

Duan Xiaoyan's face was full of excitement and he was gearing up: "Take me with you. Doctor Lu has made so many food pills for me. I am also a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Pei Yunying ignored him and was about to make a move when he thought of something and stopped.

After a while, he put down the silver knife and sat down on the chair again.

"Huh?" Duan Xiaoyan was confused, "Why don't you go?"

Pei Yunying didn't speak for a while, then said: "Don't go either."

Lu Yan always has his own opinions on things, so he may have other plans for this move.

Before you know her plan clearly, it is best not to act rashly to avoid backfire.

His fingertips touched the silver sword scabbard. The pattern on the scabbard was cold and sharp, reflecting the young man's slightly lowered eyes.

Let’s wait until we meet in person.
