Chapter 251 Finale

In early September, Cold Dew passed three days later.

It had been a month since Lu Tong got married.

At the beginning of a new marriage, it was always very busy.

You had to pay respects to your elders, return to your parents’ home, and hold meetings. After a month to the "full moon", the etiquette could be simplified.

Lu Tong was a person who was impatient with etiquette, and Pei Yunying would not take the initiative to make her unhappy, so he casually mentioned that the new bride's procedures after marriage were all simplified. The emperor specially allowed a few days of rest during the ten-day period, and the couple either watered the hibiscus flowers in the mansion or took a car to the Danfeng Terrace to appreciate the new red maple leaves. The couple was very chic for a few days.

However, after the ten-day rest, they were busy with their own things.

After Yuan Lang ascended the throne, he changed "Xia Xiao" back to "Autumn Hunting" when the previous emperor was alive. At that time, light chariots and cavalry, and mobile crossbows would come and go, and each class would be reviewed. Pei Yunying was in the martial arts field every day, and sometimes he was busy until late at night.

Lu Tong was also very busy.

As autumn passed and the weather got colder, more and more patients came to Renxin Medical Clinic to pick up medicine. And perhaps because Lu Tong had won the first place in the Imperial Medical Bureau's spring examination and had worked in the Medical Officers' Institute for a period of time, when Lu Tong was in charge of the clinic, there were many more patients than when Miao Liangfang was in charge of the clinic - the reputation of the Imperial Medical Officers' Institute was always useful.

Early in the morning, the Medical Prescription Bureau was very busy.

Lin Danqing was half lying on the table, arguing with Ji Xun about a medicinal ingredient.

"Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Radix Rehmanniae, Fructus Corni, Cortex Moutan, Paeonia lactiflora..." Lin Danqing pointed to the prescription on the table, "Adding this herb Prunella Vulgaris is superfluous, no, remove it!"

Across from her, Ji Xun frowned slightly, and said calmly and insistently: "Adding herb Prunella Vulgaris is better."

Lin Danqing did not retreat at all: "This disease is menstrual headache. During menstruation, the yin blood gathers downward, the qi is too strong, and the qi and liver qi go up... Doctor Ji, I am a woman, and I am the one who knows gynecology best, so of course I can't add it!"

Ji Xun pressed his forehead.

Since the establishment of the Medical Prescription Bureau, such quarrels have been happening every day, and it's not just Ji Xun and Lin Danqing. Everyone compiled the medical books together, and it was not limited to ordinary medical workers or imperial doctors. Each doctor had different medical habits and prescribed different prescriptions. Sometimes when they encountered disagreements, it was common to argue until their faces turned red and their necks became thick. Occasionally, passers-by passed by and thought that the people inside were fighting.

As soon as Lu Tong entered the room, she saw Ji Xun and Lin Danqing confronting each other.

Seeing her enter the room, Lin Danqing's eyes lit up, and she took two steps forward and took Lu Tong's arm: "Sister Lu, come and see, is this prescription better as I said without the herb?"

Lu Tong: "..."

This is not choosing a prescription, this is clearly being a judge.

She looked at the two prescriptions, carefully considered the words and said: "Actually, both are OK, each has its own benefits."

Hearing this, Lin Danqing was a little dissatisfied, and Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at her.

He is really not good at quarreling.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this," Lin Danqing didn't dwell on it, and only asked Lu Tong: "Why are you here today? Didn't you say you would be a doctor at the Renxin Medical Clinic these days?"

Lu Tong said: "Mr. Miao heard that the Medical Prescription Bureau was compiling medical books, so he sorted out some old prescriptions for me to send over." After that, he put down the medical box, took out the documents from the medical box and handed them over.

Ji Xun took it and said: "Thank you."

"Mr. asked me to tell you that this move will benefit the medical workers in the world. It is a great act, no need to thank you."

Ji Xun nodded and looked at Lu Tong.

After Lu Tong got married, the Medical Prescription Bureau came less often. He was on duty in the palace several times and missed them. This was the first time they met after Lu Tong got married.

Compared to when she was in the Medical Officer's Court, Lu Tong's complexion was a little rosy, and she no longer looked as pale as before. She was wearing a Tianshui Bisu Luo skirt, black hair like clouds, bright eyes and white teeth, and she was completely different from the past.

He suddenly remembered that he had given Lu Tong a willow-leaf-colored dress in southern Jiangsu. Unfortunately, the dress was bright in color, but she had a hard life. Now that she was wearing a similar color, she finally looked as lively as a new willow in early spring.

Ji Xun lowered his eyes for a moment and said, "Let me feel your pulse."

Lu Tong stretched out his hand and let his fingertips touch her pulse.

After a moment, Ji Xun withdrew his hand and looked at Lu Tong with some surprise: "The pulse is much better than before, and it is more stable."

In fact, Lu Tong had fallen ill twice in the six months since he returned to Shengjing from southern Jiangsu.

But these two attacks were not as scary as the previous ones in southern Jiangsu. People suffered some pain, but fortunately their lives were safe. Ji Xun looked at it and thought that the poison from his early years was slowly being discharged from the body, and the process might be more difficult.

In the days to come, Lu Tong might fall ill again, but when he falls ill again, it is not a step into the abyss of despair, but another kind of hope. It means that her body is gradually healing.

Scarring from wounds always hurts, but she smiles more now.

Lin Danqing said, "Sister Lu, there will be a celebration banquet in the Medical Officers' Court later to celebrate the candidates for this year's Imperial Physician. Let's go together."

Chang Jin did not lie. The medical officer who went to southern Jiangsu to rescue the epidemic was indeed promoted to the third level of clerk assessment. Chang Jin has added Lin Danqing's name to the candidate for Imperial Physician. If Lin Danqing passes the assessment at the end of this year, he can become an Imperial Physician.

For the new medical officer, this is a promotion like flying.

Lin Danqing was also very satisfied. He showed Lu Tong his plan, striving to become an Imperial Physician in one year, become a chief physician in two years, and surpass Chang Jin in three years to sit on the position of the Court.

Lu Tong expressed his support without hesitation.

"Yesterday, Doctor Chang told me that he hadn't seen you for a long time. Let's go together. I can also ask him to get some good herbs from the Imperial Pharmacy."

Lu Tong shook his head and said, "Not today. Mr. Miao is leaving. I have to see him off."

"Mr. Miao is leaving?" Ji Xun and Lin Danqing were both surprised: "When?"

"It was decided before that he wouldn't let me tell you, and he didn't want you to send it off." Lu Yan smiled, "Sir, he has his own considerations, so I didn't mention it more."

Ji Xun and Lin Danqing were both a little disappointed when they heard this.

After all, they had attended a medical clinic banquet together, and the old doctor was also very knowledgeable in medical science.

Just as he was talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the door of the medical bureau, and a red-wheeled carriage stopped at the door. Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and someone was sitting on the carriage. Seeing Lu Yan look at it, he waved his hand slightly.

It was Pei Yunying who came.

"Hey, Commander Pei is here to pick you up again?" Lin Danqing came closer, "I heard someone say that whenever he doesn't have to be on duty, he will go to West Street to pick you up every evening. Be a good commander in front of the palace, I became a free patrolman on West Street, but I heard that the security on West Street has improved a lot, and every house no longer has to close its doors at night. "

She said teasingly, and Lu was speechless. He just picked up the medical box and put it on his back. He hurriedly exchanged a few words with Lin Danqing, and finally said: "I'm going to see Mr. Miao off first. I'll talk to you about the medical prescription next time."

Lin Danqing waved his hand: "Go on, go on, and tell Mr. Miao that you have a safe journey for me."

Ji Xun looked out the door and saw the woman running happily towards the carriage. When she approached the carriage, the man stretched out his hand to hold her arm and pulled her into the carriage. He looked up again and nodded slightly to him as a greeting. Just then he lowered the car curtain.

Ji Xun lowered his eyes.

She looks very affectionate and affectionate.

…

In the carriage, Lu Zhuo sat firmly and Pei Yunying handed her a cup of tea.

Lu Yan took the tea, took a sip, and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

This was a little earlier than when she told Pei Yunying before.

"There is no need for martial arts training today, and there is nothing going on in the office. Besides, if you meet Lao Miao earlier, you can talk to him more."

Speaking of Lao Miao, Lu Zhuo let out a long sigh in his heart.

Miao Liangfang decided to return to Miao Village.

Half a year ago, when Lu Jian returned to Shengjing and resigned from his position as a medical officer in the Medical Officer's Hospital, Miao Liangfang hesitated to speak to her.

Later, after the marriage with Pei Yunying was settled, Lao Miao hesitated to tell Lu Zhuo his plans in the afternoon at a medical clinic.

"Xiao Lu, I haven't been back to Yunling for more than 20 years, and I don't know what Miaojia Village looks like now."

He knocked on his stump and said, "I stayed in Shengjing in the past because I had resentment in my heart and went back like this unwillingly and shamelessly. Now that I think about it, it was really a coward's act."

"Now that the past has been settled, the right and wrong have been settled. I also want to go back and see how my family is doing. They must be worried if there is no news about me these years. I plan to open another medical clinic in Miaojia Village. Miaojia Village is not as prosperous as There are countless talented people in the medical practice in Beijing. I want to bring the medical skills I have learned in Shengjing over the years back to Yunling, so that the barefoot doctors in Yunling can save people like the medical officers in Shengjing. "

"Xiao Lu," he looked at Lu Chen, "I didn't mention this in the past because the hospital couldn't live without the doctor. But now you are no longer the medical officer of Hanlin Medical Academy, and I see that you are also dedicated to practicing medicine. I can rest assured."

Lu Chen wanted to stay, but he didn't know how to stay. Miao Liangfang has been away from home for more than 20 years. She knows better than anyone the feeling of a wandering traveler who wants to return home, and there is really no reason to stop it.

It's just that no matter when she faces separation, she is always difficult to prepare.

This depressed look fell in the eyes of those around her. Pei Yunying put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her warmly: "Don't be sad, it's not like we won't see her again in the future."

Lu Tong: "Yunling and Shengjing are far away. I think Mr. Miao has made up his mind not to come back. Maybe he will never be seen again."

"What's so difficult about this?" He raised the corners of his lips, "If you want to meet, we can go to Yunling in the future, and we can just have fun together."

Hearing this, Lu Yan muttered, "In the future? With the daily complicated official duties of the palace commander, I'm afraid I'll have to wait another forty or fifty years."

Pei Yunying let out a "tsk", raised her eyelids slightly, and her tone suddenly became frivolous, "Do you think I've been too busy recently and neglected you?"

Lu Zhen's face was expressionless: "You are so sentimental."

He nodded and said slowly: "Okay, after all, I am not a doctor. I can only be sentimental and nothing else."

The words were spoken seriously, but the tone was extremely ambiguous, as if it were a hint.

Lu Chen: "..."

There was no need for her to talk to this person.

…

Along the Jiulin River, in front of the ferry.

Yin Zheng and Du Changqing carried several loads of baggage into Miao Liangfang's hands.

Miao Liangfang was about to leave, but his eyes were still filled with tears. When he saw these large bags of heavy objects, he held back his tears and stared blankly: "Are you crazy? I have to walk dozens of miles back to Yunling Miaojia Village. Mountain road, I already have bad legs and feet, do you want me to break my other leg? "

"They are all worthless herbs." Du Changqing said angrily: "I know you don't have to worry about your body, so I picked the light ones on purpose, so you don't get the advantage of being nice."

Acheng stuffed an oil paper bag into Miao Liangfang's hand, "Uncle Miao, the bacon chicken I grabbed from Guanxiang this morning is still hot. You can take it with you and eat it on the way. The food on this ship is so expensive, not as good as ours in Shengjing." It’s fresh inside.”

Miao Liangfang said hello several times, touched Acheng's head, and said with a smile: "Follow my boss well, read more and be literate, and I will support your boss until the end of his life."

Du Changqing raised his eyebrows: "What about cursing me? I will marry a wife and have children in the future. Do you want this tiger egg to support me until the end of my life?"

Miao Liangfang narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Oh, when do you plan to get married? Do you have someone in mind?"

Du Changqing: "..."

Yin Zheng pretended not to see Miao Liangfang's face, turned around and looked behind her, her eyes lit up: "The girl is here!"

Everyone looked back and saw a red-wheeled carriage stopped in front of the ferry. The curtain was opened and a woman jumped out of the carriage. She ran towards the people without caring about the people behind her. It was Lu Zhuo.

She trotted to stand in front of everyone and looked at Miao Liangfang: "Mr. Miao."

"I'm just waiting for you," Miao Liangfang said cheerfully, "Why did you bring Mr. Pei with you?"

Pei Yunying, who followed Lu Zhuo over, raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It doesn't sound very welcoming?"

"What the hell, the Commander-in-Chief is so worried." Miao Liangfang said, "You are now the son-in-law of West Street."

Pei Yunying: "..."

The title "son-in-law of West Street" is said to have come from the mouths of Widow Sun and Sister-in-law Song. Because it was too conspicuous for Pei Yunying to pick up Lu Zhu every day, women with daughters at home gave him the title "son-in-law of West Street". She said that in the future, when choosing a husband for her daughter, she would have to look for someone who is so handsome, can love others, and is also an errand in the palace.

It's certainly not easy.

Seeing Pei Yunying's frozen expression, Miao Liangfang's smile became even more comfortable.

He was once very afraid of this young commander, and always felt that there was some malicious blade hidden under his warm smile. However, since Lu Zhu and Pei Yunying got married, this fear gradually dissipated. Because Pei Yunying always compromised with Lu Zhu, everyone in the medical center also relied on Lu Zhu to be confident.

Men who have weaknesses are much easier to deal with.

Miao Liangfang was thinking this way when he saw Lu Zhuo opening the medical box he was carrying, taking out a few books from the medical box and handing them to Miao Liangfang.

"This is……"

"Sir is going back to Yunling. I have nothing to give as a gift. I am afraid that bad people will covet my money on the road. It is not safe to have too much money."

Lu Tong said: "I asked Chang Yizheng before and asked for a few medical books from the Medical Official Academy. They are the lessons taught by Mr. Imperial Medical Bureau in the past ten years. I don't know if they will be effective for Mr. Miao. So I sent them together. Come."

"Xiao Lu..."

Miao Liangfang clenched several medical books in his hand, looking a little shocked.

He had also been a medical officer in the Medical Officer's Hospital, so he naturally knew how precious these medical books from the Imperial Medical Bureau were. They used to be hidden in the medical warehouse of the Medical Officer's Court, and even Shengjing Medical Clinic could not get them. Therefore, the few "exquisite interpretations" he had left in his study on West Street were particularly precious.

"Xiao Lu, thank you." Miao Liangfang gathered his clothes and saluted Lu Shu solemnly.

"Sir, there is no need to thank you." Lu Yu said: "Perhaps one day in the future, medical knowledge will be common, Shengjing's medical books will be spread to Yunling, and Yunling's medical prescriptions will also be spread to Shengjing. By then, ordinary medical books will no longer be like this In the past, it was generally 'precious', and there were more people in the world who helped the world."

Miao Liangfang was stunned, and Pei Yunying glanced sideways at Lu Zhu. The woman's brows were gentle and her tone was calm, as if she was talking about the reality in the near future.

Miao Liangjiang burst out laughing: "What a 'universal medical practitioner'. If one day it really comes true, it will be a blessing to the people of the world!"

Lu Yan smiled: "I will definitely do it."

He wanted to say a few more words. Before the ferry, someone shouted twice. Yin Zheng said: "The boatman is urging us to get on the boat, Mr. Miao..."

There was always reluctance when parting, Miao Liangfang looked at Pei Yunying, pulled Lu Zhu aside, and said sideways: "Xiao Lu, the hospital will take care of you in the future. Xiao Du is a soft-spoken person who is easily deceived. , I can rest assured that you are keeping an eye on me, it’s your husband..."

He glanced at Pei Yunying and lowered his voice and warned: "After all, he is a servant in the imperial city, and he is a well-born man. If you marry him at a young age, you must not wrong yourself. As you said in the hospital before, If you change your mind in the future, make peace with him. If he changes your mind, kill him with poison. Do it cleanly and don't let anyone find the evidence..."

Pei Yunying heard everything: "..."

He scoffed: "You might as well be louder."

Miao Liangfang coughed slightly, took two steps back, looked at the crowd and said, "Anyway, I have said what I have told you over and over again, and I guess you are tired of it. I won't say more."

"After a long journey, we must say goodbye. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, so let's stop here."

He turned around, dragged his luggage onto the passenger ship, and waved to everyone.

"Let's go back."

There was no wind on the river. When the owner of the passenger boat saw the last guest coming ashore, the boatman took up the oars and rocked the boat to the far side of the river bank. Birds flew in all directions, and the boat turned into a jay on the river. Then, he saw the mountains beside the river. High and low, there is only a fuzzy dot, which gradually disappears.

Acheng rubbed his eyes.

We spend the cold, summer, spring and autumn together at Renxin Medical Center. Although West Street is not prosperous enough, it has its own worldly fireworks. When a family member leaves, it always makes people feel disappointed.

"Cheer up," Du Changqing looked at the depressed people, "Don't look like you're crying. I can't get through the day, can I still make money? The medical office will come to check tomorrow, and I have to go back to the holistic medicine today. I just wanted to be lazy, so I took a walk and went back..."

He took everyone back, took one last look at the riverside, and left without looking back.

Lu Chen and Pei Yunying followed behind, and when they went back, they didn't take the carriage again.

There were people selling calligraphy and painting books along the riverside. When passing by, the vendor sitting on the ground enthusiastically picked up a few volumes and gave them to Lu Huo: "Girl, there are new words and phrases books on the market. Would you like to buy a few volumes and go back and read them? Keep them well!"

Lu Chen shook his head and sighed.

Pei Yunying asked: "Why are you sighing?"

"I remembered a storybook I read last night."

"Oh? What are you writing about?"

"It is a story about a pair of lovers who have gone through many hardships and come together."

"Isn't it good?" Pei Yunying smiled and said, "A happy reunion."

"But I want to see more." Lu Tong was led by his hand and walked forward. She slowly said, "I want to see how to live a simple life in the future, or have children, and then have a large family in the future, or a hundred years later... I always feel that it is not enough. Why does the ending end here?"

He laughed.

"Tongtong," Pei Yunying corrected, "Only the storybook has an ending, not the story."

She raised her eyes, and the person in front of her looked down at her, with a smile in his eyes and a lovely dimple at the corner of his lips.

She was stunned for a moment, and silently repeated it in her heart several times, and gradually let go.

Life has joys and sorrows, ups and downs, and no one knows the ending until it comes to the end. Even if there is nostalgia or reluctance, you must always look forward.

The story has not ended yet, she still doesn't like parting, but she is not as afraid as before.

Pei Yunying said: "It's still early. Before going back to the medical officer, let's go to Guanxiang to buy food. I heard that flower cakes are new this year. Choose one you like."

"Too many, I don't know what I like."

"It doesn't matter. There's a lot of time. We'll look for it slowly."

She held his hand tightly: "Okay."

The leaves on the river bank are half green and half yellow, and the west wind dispels the heat. At the ferry pier, in the slow autumn light, the departing people and their friends are reciting poems to bid farewell. In the distance, the lively hawking in Guanxiang can be heard faintly.

Shengjing seems to have changed, but it seems that nothing has changed.

The man and woman holding each other's hands held each other's hands tightly and gradually disappeared in the bustling crowd.

It was the eighth day of September in the forty-first year of Yongchang, and it was golden autumn. The sky was high and the air was solemn, and the wind was clear and the dew was white.

It was a good time in the world.
