Chapter 15: The new home of the hospital
Chapter 15 The new home of the hospital
Lu Chen originally wanted to stay in an inn tonight, but he never thought that Du Changqing would act quickly and find a place for the two of them right away.
Yin Zheng raised her head and looked at the words "Renxin Medical Center" above her head, with a look of shock on her face: "Isn't this a medical center?"
Du Changqing beside him coughed lightly: "Come in with me."
Lu Zong and the other two followed Du Changqing and walked in.
This shop is narrow and dark inside. It is almost evening and it is difficult to see clearly inside. Du Changqing carried an oil paper lantern, opened the inner curtain, and walked inside.
Lu Zong and Yin Zheng followed, and when they entered, they couldn't help but be slightly startled.
At the back of Renxin Medical Center, there is actually a small hospital.
The small courtyard may have been uninhabited for a long time, and the ground was covered with a layer of dust. There were some dry firewood piled in the corner, filling half of the courtyard.
Yin Zheng was suspicious: "Shopkeeper Du, the place you mentioned is not here, right?"
Du Changqing touched his nose: "When there was a doctor in the medical clinic, the old man lived here."
Seeing Yin Zheng frowning, Du Changqing said hurriedly: "Don't look at this yard. It's been cleaned up very well. Dr. Lu," he looked at Lu Zhu's face, "It's not that I don't help, it's just that every inch of land in the capital is precious. In a short while, It’s not easy to find a house at a suitable price. Besides, you’ve seen what’s going on at Renxin Medical Center, and I’m too poor to take the blame. Otherwise,” he clapped his hands, “when our herbal tea becomes a hit, How about I personally find a two-entry compound for you to live in?"
Lu Zhen didn't say anything. He took the lantern from Du Changqing's hand and looked at the entire courtyard carefully.
This courtyard is connected to Renxin Medical Center in front. Renxin Medical Center is narrow, but this courtyard is very spacious. One side of the courtyard is next to a high wall, and the roof eaves tiles can be vaguely seen. The other side is connected to a stone corridor. On one side of the stone corridor, there are three empty houses side by side.
Du Changqing pointed to the three empty rooms: "Doctor Lu, the three rooms here are very spacious. You and Miss Yizheng can choose any one you like. Look, there is a kitchen and a dressing room in front..."
Lu Zhen's heart moved.
Going forward along the stone corridor, there is indeed a kitchen. The kitchen in the back is very spacious, with earthen stoves, pots and pans, and a bunch of dry firewood randomly stuffed underneath. It's even darker further inside, where you can change your clothes after going to the toilet.
Lu Tong stared blankly at the yard in front of him.
The layout of this courtyard is very similar to the layout of the Lu family house in Changwu County.
Du Changqing was still trying hard to persuade: "Doctor Lu, look at the stone table in this courtyard, which is perfect for you to pound medicine at night. The plum tree in front of the window blooms in winter and is fragrant. The girl likes it very much..."
“Wait a minute,” Yin Zheng interrupted, “Didn’t Shopkeeper Du say we were staying here temporarily? Why did he say we’d be here until winter?”
Du Changqing choked up: "Isn't this smooth talk? Doctor Lu, look..."
"This is it." Lu Zhu turned his head and smiled at him, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Du."
As if he didn't expect Lu Zhen to be so talkative, Du Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then, as if he was afraid that Lu Zhen would regret it, he moved their luggage in and said with a warm smile: "In that case, Doctor Lu can stay here with peace of mind. , you can stay as long as you like.”
He found two clean beddings from nowhere and gave them to Yin Zheng, explained some matters, and then left with peace of mind.
After he left, Yin Zheng said disapprovingly: "Girl, how can we live in a shop? At least find a decent house to live in."
Lu Zhen walked into the room closest to the kitchen and opened the window. Facing the window, the plum tree had not yet bloomed and stood alone.
She looked at the plum tree and said: "Renxin Medical Center is located on West Street. Beyond that is a restaurant. There is no curfew in Shengjing. There are city guards patrolling West Street every night. You and I can't afford to hire guards. We live in This place is safer than living anywhere else.”
“Besides, this is the closest to the Ke family.”
Yin Zheng thought about it for a while, but finally felt a little aggrieved: "After all, the man named Du took advantage. We live in the shop, and he saved the money for us to pay for the house. Are you really afraid that we will take his medicinal materials and run away?"
Lu Zhen laughed.
Du Changqing only left the key to the courtyard, but did not give her the key to the medicine cabinet. Unless she breaks the medicine cabinet into pieces one by one, or finds a strongman to move the medicine cabinet away. However, there are guards patrolling the West Street at all times, and Du Changqing's acquaintances are everywhere. He is afraid that he will be turned away to the government office before he even leaves the street.
That shopkeeper Du, he seems to have no formal appearance, but he is a shrewd man.
She walked outside and picked up the bamboo broom placed in the courtyard: "Let's clean this place up first."
Yin Zheng rolled up her sleeves and nodded in response.
The small courtyard is spacious, so sweeping it is particularly laborious. Since it had been uninhabited for a long time, the two of them had been busy for a long time just to clean it up.
By the time I moved the last bundle of dry firewood from the yard to the kitchen, it was already very late at night.
Yin Zheng looked at the small courtyard that looked like new, and couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Girl, this courtyard is so beautiful!"
Lu Huo was also a little startled. The bluestones in the courtyard were dusted away and sprinkled with water, making them look clean and fresh. The bowls and basins on the earthen stove in the back kitchen were stacked in categories, and bundles of firewood were stacked neatly in the corner.
The three rooms have all been cleaned up. Since no one lives in them, the things inside are very simple. In the room where Lu Zong lived, the bamboo curtain was opened and an old picture screen was placed, covering the round table and wardrobe outside. Going around the screen, there is a yellow wood bed, covered with an autumn-colored mattress. There is a bookcase in front of the window, reflecting the plum trees outside. It is elegant and simple, very beautiful.
Yin Zheng said happily: "Tomorrow I will write a letter and hang it on the wall, and cover up the old marks on the wall. When the weather gets warmer, I can plant more goose-yellow peonies in the yard, it will be beautiful." She turned to look at Lu Zhen, and saw that Lu Zhen's expression was indifferent, so she asked, "Don't you think it looks good, girl?"
Lu Zhen smiled, put the lantern in his hand on the desk in front of the window, and said, "It looks good."
The yard is beautiful. The clean courtyard looks closer to the old appearance of the Lu family in her mind.
Thinking of the Lu family, the smile on Lu Zhen's face faded a little.
Today, downstairs in Baoxiang, she accidentally met the young lady from the Grand Master's residence.
The Ke family was prosperous, thanks to the patronage of the Taishi Mansion. Lu Rou's death may have something to do with the Taishi Mansion.
But what we see today is that she was taken captive and bleeding, and no one cared about her. The grand master's daughter was safe and sound, but she was greeted with greetings.
That young lady didn’t even look at her.
Taishi's Mansion and her are like the sky and the earth, clouds and mud.
Under the light of the lamp, Lu Zhuo's dark eyes were as clear as a deep spring with no bottom.
Becoming a medical doctor is just the first step in everything.
How can she get close to the Ke family?
There is also... Taishi Mansion.
…
It’s night, the Commander’s Mansion in Jingying Palace.
It was already very late when Pei Yunying came back from outside.
As soon as he entered the hall, Duan Xiaoyan greeted him from inside. The round-faced, round-eyed young man in Tsing Yi lost his usual liveliness and looked a little wilted, uncharacteristically.
Pei Yunying glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Yun Ying." Duan Xiaoyan never called him "Sir" when no one else was around. Hearing this, he sighed, "Today, the young lady from Taishi Mansion made it clear that she wanted you to **** her back to the mansion. Throw this job away. Give it to me, how can she be nice to me? She almost ate me along the way."
Pei Yunying took off his sword and put it on the table. He continued to walk in and said, "Don't you usually think your promotion is too slow? Wouldn't it be a good idea to give you a chance to show off?"
"What kind of performance opportunity is this?" Duan Xiaoyan followed him, complaining a little, "She is interested in your beauty, not me. Besides, the Grand Master's Palace can't control the front secretary, so we don't need to please him. them."
Pei Yunying ignored him and asked as he walked: "How is Lu Dashan?"
"It has been sent to the Criminal and Prison Department. But Brother Yun Ying," Duan Xiaoyan asked in a low voice: "Lei Yuan from the Military and Horse Department is the cousin and nephew of the Right Prime Minister. I am afraid that the case in the Military and Horse Prison has something to do with the Right Prime Minister. We are so offended. Right Prime Minister…”
Pei Yunying was noncommittal: "Why, are you afraid of him?"
Duan Xiaoyan was speechless: "If you are not afraid, I will be different." He said a few words, then suddenly remembered something and took out something from his arms, "By the way, I almost forgot about this."
Pei Yunying paused in his steps.
That was the scar removal medicine he gave to the female doctor during the day.
“The female shopkeeper of the rouge shop chased it out to me, saying that we left something behind. I saw that this was not the scar-removing medicine that the Queen Mother gave you last time. Why was it left in the rouge shop?”
Pei Yunying stared at the medicine bottle thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and smiled, threw the medicine bottle to Duan Xiaoyan, and walked forward.
Duan Xiaoyan hurriedly caught it: "Brother Yun Ying?"
He waved his hand: "I'll give it to you."
