Chapter 13 Taking the wrong medicine

Holding a locked red sandalwood box and accompanied by two guards, Zhu Yuan finally left the snow-covered courtyard.

Although the snow had stopped, the north wind was blowing, making the weather even colder.

Zhu Yuan looked up at the sky, judging from the faint light peeking through the clouds, it was probably three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

The snow on the road has been swept away, and the walls and roof tiles are still covered with white. Looking at it, the huge palace looks even more layered. If there is no one to accompany him, Zhu Yuan believes that he will definitely get lost.

Another gust of wind came, and Zhu Yuan quickened his pace.

In my heart, I only hope that Lao Zhu's mood today will not be like this weather, so that he can simply hand over and live in seclusion smoothly.

Turning around a moon gate again, based on memory, Zhu Yuangang judged that it was not far from the White Tiger Palace, and someone was coming towards him.There were four people in total, two of them carried the shoulders, one was wrapped in a fur mattress and lay on it, and the other followed.

Zhu Yuan happened to know each other.

The one lying on the bed was Hua Gao who had met once a few days ago, and the one next to him was Dai Sanchun, the imperial physician.

Approached in a blink of an eye.

Before the acquainted Zhu Yuan and Dai Sanchun opened their mouths, a weak voice sounded on the shoulders: "Mr. Xiucai, it's Mr. Xiucai. Stop, stop for me."

The bearer puts down his shoulders.

Hua Gao, with a pale face and deep-set eyes, stood up tremblingly, and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Xiucai, it's really you, it's really you."

Zhu Yuan had no choice but to nod to Dai Sanchun first, then stepped forward, hesitating a little, still holding the wooden box with one hand, and stretching out the other hand, feeling that the small hand was held by Hua Gao in an instant: "Master Hua, what is this?"

It's only been a few days, no matter how urgent the illness is, it can't be like this, right?

Could it be that he was injured?

Zhu Yuan was looking at Hua Gao's exposed upper body for any injuries, Hua Gao had already said to himself: "Oh, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, my old Hua... I took the wrong medicine, so that I made the scholar laugh. I heard that the scholar The princess was conferred Hanlin by the lord, Hanlin is good, Qinggui, I, Lao Hua, will have a son in the future, and I will let him study, and become Hanlin, don't lick blood like me, alas..."

Hearing Hua Gao sigh repeatedly, Zhu Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Taking the wrong medicine?
It suddenly occurred to me that that morning in Yangzhou, I faintly heard Hua Gao and Mao Xiang saying that they had got a prescription and asked Dai Sanchun to help.

Could this be the result?
Hua Gao seemed to be on the verge of dying, but he was still very chatty. Before Zhu Yuan could say anything, he still held his little hand, and Gu Zi continued: "No, I hurt my body, I almost didn't pass, and I missed the lord's errand. The one who was brought here to be scolded, fortunately, the lord is generous, he didn't beat me, so I, Lao Hua, should be beaten."

Zhu Yuan was speechless again.

Just now I was thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang would be in a good mood today, but now, it's no wonder he's in a good mood.

Is this a crow's mouth?

Hua Gao rambled a few more words, and finally let go of Zhu Yuan's little hand reluctantly: "Mr. Xiucai, I see that you have something important to do, so I won't bother you. If you have time in the future, you can come to my old Hua's house." Drinking tea, this place... Heh, Mr. Xiucai will know if his servants inquire, and I, Lao Hua, will sweep the couch to welcome you."

Zhu Yuan withdrew his hand, and found that he couldn't salute with the wooden box, so he could only bow slightly: "Then...Zhu Yuan bids farewell, Mr. Hua will take care of you."

Hua Gao also clasped his fists at Zhu Yuan: "Scholar, farewell, farewell."

Zhu Yuan did not forget to say goodbye to Dai Sanchun.

Dai Sanchun was talking to Zhu Yuan, with a somewhat hesitant expression on his expression, as if he had encountered something.Zhu Yuan could also see it, but seeing that Dai Sanchun didn't say anything, he couldn't stay here any longer, so he had to leave first.

When Zhu Yuan walked away, the party here also left the Wu Wangfu gate very quickly.

As soon as he arrived on the street in front of the door, Dai Sanchun heard someone calling him, and turned his head, it was a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper.

The man came to the front quickly, and said with a long bow: "Physician Dai, I am the housekeeper of Mr. Hu Weiyong's house. The young master of the lord's family is in poor health. Please come to see Mr. Dai?"

Dai Sanchun suddenly looked embarrassed.

In the past few days, he suddenly became popular, and all kinds of people came to invite him.

Dai Sanchun is not a fool, of course he understands that those people are just using the name of seeing a doctor to ask him about the inside story of the petty official who accompanied him a few days ago.

But how dare he talk nonsense?
Not to mention that he knows the sensitivity of that petty official, and whenever he thinks of the agreement with that petty official, and remembers that he can understand the root cause of the disease that has plagued him for many years, he can't wait for the next days to pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, it will be three years later.It was also because of this that even if there were no other factors, he would not rashly reveal the privacy of that petty official.

Here, Dai Sanchun was thinking about how to decline. Hua Gao, who had just been helped into the carriage by his entourage, had already opened his mouth and shouted: "Rebirth, ouch, my head is starting to hurt again. Come up and give me two needles. Hey, That guy, didn’t you see that Chongsheng is helping me see a doctor? If there is someone who is so robbing, go find another doctor, get out!”

Hua Gao winked as he spoke, and the two tough servants walked over aggressively, as if they were about to start a fight if they disagreed.

Seeing this, the butler didn't dare to say anything, and retreated with a confession, watching Dai Sanchun get into the Huagao carriage.

After entering the carriage, Dai Sanchun helped Hua Gao with acupuncture and said, "Lord Xie Hua, make a rescue."

Hua Gao leaned in the carriage covered with thick mattresses, and waved his hands. His spirit was obviously much better than in the palace just now, but his weakness was also real. He heard this and said, "Efforts can only help you for a while."

Dai Sanchun thought of that big man who couldn't be provoked more than the other, and suddenly his face became worried again.

He is a small eighth-rank imperial doctor under the Imperial Hospital, and he may have some reputation, but in front of those big figures, if he is not careful, his life will be lost, so what can he do?
Seeing his appearance, Hua Gao suggested in his voice: "It's the New Year's Eve, you don't come from Jinling just because of your accent, don't you need to go back to your hometown?"

Dai Sanchun's face became even more bitter: "I tried to ask for leave the day before yesterday, but the envoy Sun refused. The officer also proposed to return to Shandong and continue to join the army. The envoy said that there is a lack of staff in the Tai Hospital recently, so he was not allowed, and asked me to stay in Jinling." .”

"That old man Sun Shouzhen isn't up to the mark, and his medical skills are not good, but being an official will give you more experience, spit," Hua Gao thought of something unpleasant, cursed, and then looked at Dai Sanchun: "My old Hua can't help you too much, Rebirth, this matter, um... where it came from, where it will go, if you find the right person, it may be solved."

Dai Sanchun pondered for a while, and immediately understood.

Find the right person, who do you want to find?
Of course it was the little official just now.

In the past few days, the reason why he has suddenly become a favorite is not because of that person.That petty official is a taboo, and everyone dare not touch him, so they have to attack him from the sidelines. If he leans over by himself, he can probably use that layer of 'taboo' as a barrier.

Seeing that he showed a clear expression, Hua Gao smiled, pulled the wolfskin mattress beside him to cover his body, raised his head slightly, and muttered to himself in a low voice with empty eyes: "My old Hua's experience is a blessing in disguise, and I can retreat bravely. That's it. ... Sigh, rebirth, the prescription, I think it makes sense, how could it be so?"

With the idea of ​​understanding the difficulties in his heart, Dai Sanchun just relaxed, and when he heard Hua Gao chanting, he suddenly sullenly, regained his true nature of a doctor, and said seriously: "Master Hua, don't listen to those folk remedies in the future. Great poison, I have never seen in any medical book that this medicine can cure adults' illnesses. Fortunately, this time, the family members of the adults went to find the officials directly. If it is other colleagues, they may delay the treatment because they don't know the recipes of the adults."

"Oh, I know, oh..."

Hua Gao suddenly sighed again, lost his shrewdness in an instant, his mind was not a secret, he didn't hide it, he muttered like a bewilderment, echoing in the bumpy carriage: "My old Hua just wants a baby Son, I just want a baby, even if I give it to a girl first, there are so many women in the family, why can't any one be born, alas... I just want a baby!"
