Da Suining

Chapter 133
The lights are like daylight.

The singing and dancing in the back hall continued.

The pipa in Le Niang's hands was lightly rubbed and slowly twirled, and a guzheng was also caressed cheerfully and melodiously.

Xiang Suining and Lu Yu, you look at me, I look at you.

Is Mr. Zhou pretending to be confused, or is he really confused?
If he was really confused, he wouldn't have sat in the Qingcheng government office for so many years.

If you are really drunk, how can you still walk by yourself?Although supported by two concubines, they walked faster than the concubines.

There is only one possibility.

Master Zhou was not in the mood to listen to her talking to Lu Yu.

In Master Zhou's opinion, she and Lu Yu are trying to disturb the hearts of the people.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Suining and Lu Yu left, Master Zhou called a yamen servant into his bedroom.

Mr. Zhou was not very drunk, he leaned on the grand teacher's chair, and one concubine washed his feet while another concubine squatted there to beat his legs.

"Qingcheng is really as Miss Xiang said?"

The yamen servant shook his head: "I haven't heard that there is anything wrong with Qingcheng. The gate tower is guarded by heavy soldiers, and everything inside and outside is safe and sound. The most prosperous flyover is still the same as in the past, and the food alley is also safe. This season, the hawkers The business is very good. The yamen guards who watch the night have come back a wave, I also asked, and it is very safe, and there is not even a single case of the closed door."

"Where's the pharmacy? Those large and small pharmacies can be patrolled? How about it?"

"Large and small pharmacies, at least there are hundreds of pharmacies in Qingcheng, and they all see doctors according to the regulations. Every day is vaguely the same as before, and there are not many patients. It's just..."

"I just heard that the pharmacy in Min'antang, which doesn't charge for medical treatment, has a few more patients today."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

The yamen servant shook his head.

The little concubine gently rubbed Master Zhou's feet. The little concubine who beat her legs came from the palace, and she knew the weight best with her hands. She beat and squeezed Master Zhou's legs, and the serving Master Zhou squinted his eyes in comfort. eyes.

Although he squinted his eyes, there were many thoughts in his mind.

Xiang Suining came with Lu Yu, looking at his expressions, he seemed a little anxious.

But the words of the yamen servant are also true.

When the concubine poured out the footwashing water, Mr. Zhou patted his forehead slowly: "I forgot, that Mr. Lu, isn't his father the Imperial Physician Lu? Imperial Physician Lu doesn't like children and grandchildren to do it the most." Physician, Young Master Lu works as a doctor in Min'an Hall to treat patients. By the way, I heard that Young Master Lu is not an honest boy. He is not very old, and his reputation in Qingcheng is not very good. He has been to brothels. His father or It’s okay to be tighter, maybe…”

"My lord is saying?"

"Perhaps these doctors think that the money they get is too little, and they colluded to get a few more silver every month, but it's hard to say it clearly. After all, Mr. Lu has a higher status, so they sent him to my Qingcheng yamen to say, thinking of me. I have contacts with those families who donated money to support Min'an Hall, and I want to do this through my mouth. You must know that only by talking about the illness more seriously, and talking more about the patients, can they show their dissatisfaction with the doctors. It's easy, it's not easy for them, so the salary should be raised, right? I think Mr. Lu Baxiang is a man short of money."

"My lord is right, but Miss Xiang is here too..."

"Two and a half children, in their teens, it's hard to guarantee that there is nothing between them. Miss Xiang came to help Mr. Lu talk."

Master Zhou made a conclusion, so the yamen servant naturally didn't have much to say.

The two concubines helped Zhou Sheng to bed, covered him with a thin silk quilt, and took out a round fan to fan him: "My lord has worked hard all day, it's time to rest."

After drinking several cups of Nurhong, it is a bit over the top.

Mr. Zhou felt very confused in front of his eyes, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't even lift them up.

The yamen servant cupped his hands and said, "The little one doesn't want to disturb the adults to rest, so let's get out. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that tomorrow, do you want to keep an eye on Miss Xiang and Mr. Lu? And those pharmacies in Qingcheng, do you want to send more people to investigate?"

"Recently, managing those refugees has taken a lot of brainpower. We don't have many yamen servants. How can we have the time to look after the pharmacy? As for Miss Xiang and Mr. Lu, they are just children's nonsense, don't take it seriously. You step down, tomorrow Patrol as usual, no need to send additional manpower."

Master Zhou began to sleep soundly.

Walking out of the back hall of Qingcheng Mansion Yamen, there is a short alley at the door.

Out of the alley is the bustling long street. Going out from here is the most prosperous Baolong Street in Qingcheng. When you bypass Baolong Street, you will find a wide moat in front of you.

On the bank of the moat is the Chunhualou, which is full of people.

On a long street, there are countless brothels, but Chunhualou has the brightest lights.

The few flower boats on the moat belonged to them. At this time, the flower boats were slowly rippling on the river, with the sound of singing and dancing inside, the sound of pushing cups and changing glasses, and the sound of warblers and swallows.

I also saw a few maidservants carrying all kinds of wine and vegetables, carefully stepping on the long ladder to deliver them to the flower boat.

On the second floor of Chunhua Building, there stood a dozen girls in red and green.

The girls' clothes were thin, their breasts and long necks were exposed, and their blood-red lips made them look very good.

The girls were holding handkerchiefs of various colors and standing at the fence on the second floor, shaking them in the wind.

"Master, come and play, there is a new girl, she looks like a fairy, I will definitely like it."

"This master hasn't been here for half a month. Don't you miss him? He misses you to death, sir. Come in and have a glass of wine to get tired."

Several masters couldn't stand this soft and warm call.

In addition, there were still four girls standing under the steps on the first floor of Chunhua Building. After the girls dragged and dragged, the gentlemen went in happily.

Soon I heard the big teapot counting from inside: "Hey, four masters, good wine and good food are waiting for you. Good day, your guests have arrived, come down quickly to meet them."

Just after entering here, another three men in long gowns walked in.

The big teapot was almost too busy: "Three masters, please come inside, Shuiyue, Yingzhen, Hongying, come down to drink with the guests."

Two more young masters came out of the Chunhua Building, put their shoulders on each other, swayed, and there was no depth in their feet.

One pointed to the lantern in Chunhua Building and said, "Look, I said don't stay so late, the sun is already so high."

The other said with a smile: "I want to go, but it's a pity that you don't want to. The girls here are very considerate. Every time you come, you say you will stay for an hour. You have to stay for three hours before you are willing to leave."

From a distance, the young servants from their house greeted them, and helped the sons of each family into the carriage.

The business of Chunhualou seems to be so good forever.

In and out, like flowing water.

A lady on the flower boat is playing Liu Yong's "Day and Night Music": The bridal chamber remembers the first time we met.They only get together and get together for a long time.When will the joys of a small meeting turn into feelings of parting, and the situation will be in the twilight of spring.The eyes are full of flowers and wild flowers.I'm afraid of the beautiful scenery, so I will go back with Yi...

Le Niang on the flower boat played the guzheng, and the girls in Chunhualou sang softly. They cooperated really well.

In ancient times, girls in brothels had to be talented in order to have something to say to their guests.

This statement is true.

Xiang Suining looked up at the girls and couldn't help but sighed.

Lu Yu walked on the side of the Chunhua Tower, to avoid those who are free to visit the brothel from bumping into Xiang Suining.

Xiang Suining sighed, and Lu Yu also looked up.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, the girls immediately found a business opportunity: "Young master, come up to play? You are handsome, do you have any acquaintances here? If you don't have any acquaintances, can I accompany you?" Throw down the red handkerchief.

Xiang Suining chuckled.

"Emotions are not teasing you, you are still laughing." Lu Yu was helpless.

"Who told you to look up at them."

"Didn't you read it first? I was curious and took a look."

"What do you see?"

Lu Yu shook his head: "Xiang Er, why are you sighing?"

"I was thinking, will the business of this bustling Chunhualou be as good in the future? If the plague breaks out in Qingcheng, how will the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Master Zhou doesn't seem to want to care about such things."

"He doesn't believe us at all."

"Master Zhou doesn't think we are liars, does he?"

Xiang Suining shook his head: "Maybe he thought you were exaggerating the facts on purpose and wanted to get more money every month. After all, the doctor of Min'an Hall only gets three liang of money a month."

"Am I the one who talks nonsense when he sees money?" Lu Yu snorted, "Will I look at the few taels of silver from Min'an Hall? I went to Min'an Hall only for learning and using it, and I don't take money. My father Although he is not talented, he is also an imperial doctor, and my ancestors have practiced medicine for many years, and my father has no concubines and illegitimate children, so the Lu family's property is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime. Of course, it may not be enough in a lifetime. Eat it in your next life."

"Master Lu—"

"Call me Lu Yu."

"Lu Yu, tell me, could it be that you made a wrong diagnosis, and those people didn't get the plague?"

Lu Yu shook his head: "I guarantee it with my head, it won't be wrong."

"Who wants your head."

"I know you don't want to."

"You're out of shape."

"Is it alright if I'm wrong?" Lu Yu smiled: "Brothers won't let any jokes go."

"If it's true that you made a wrong diagnosis, wouldn't we really disturb the hearts of the people? Mr. Zhou can arrest us."

"I know you are worried about me. In this way, when I go back, I will tell my father about the situation of these patients and listen to what my father thinks, so that I can feel more at ease. "

Just do it.

When Lu Yu returned to the mansion, the people in the Lu mansion had already rested.

He has been tossing all the way, and he doesn't care much about eating those few soup-filled buns.

What's more, most of the buns went into Xiang Suining's mouth. God knows why a girl from every family can eat so vigorously. Her mouth is like a box of ground meat. As soon as she opened her mouth, a bun was gone. .

Liusan went to the kitchen and served Lu Yu a plate of steamed dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

As soon as Lu Yu ate two, the woman in the kitchen came in and said, "Young master, how can you eat cold? When the time comes, your writing hands will tremble, and the slave will take the dumplings back and put them on the cage to warm them up. It will be ready in a while without wasting time." .”

"There's no need to heat it up, these sauerkraut dumplings are delicious even when they're cold."

"Let's keep it hot, I'm afraid the young master will feel uncomfortable after eating it?"

"Are you still eating dumplings at such a late hour? Aren't you afraid that the accumulated food won't melt?" Lu Yu's father, Imperial Physician Lu, walked into Lu Yu's room, looked at the plate of cold dumplings, and then looked at Lu Yu, Lu Yu still had a mouth full of food. Half of the dumpling was not swallowed.

Physician Lu pressed Lu Yu's pulse.

"Father, I'm not sick, I'm just hungry, eat a plate of dumplings."

"You've been a little angry recently, you need to eat something to clear the fire."

"I'm not angry, I'm just hungry."

"You don't listen to the doctor's words anymore?" Lu Zhan sat down across the table, waved his hand, and asked the woman in the kitchen to leave first.

Such a spacious bedroom, since Lu Zhan came in, the atmosphere was a bit off.

Lu Yu lowered his head to eat the dumplings, one bite at a time, three dumplings at a time, before he dared to catch his breath.

Lu Zhan sighed: "Where did you go to kill people and set fires? Have you never even used food? You are so hungry? Eating food like this is not good for your health. I have been in the palace for many years, and the people in the palace are the best at keeping healthy." Yes, regardless of the cold or heat, every meal has its own time, even if you are not hungry, you still have to eat some. What I am afraid of is that like you, overeating will ruin your body. If you eat like this, you will definitely feel uncomfortable tomorrow. After a while, I will go to the kitchen to get some hawthorn cakes to eat, and I can go to bed after eating."

It's not good to have a father who is an imperial physician.

Everyone looks sick.

It seems that everyone wants to treat others.

He is a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, if there is no fire in his body, how can he do it?
His father had to put out the flames just for him.

It was eating hawthorn cake again, Lu Yu had no interest in that stuff, when other kids ate fruits and snacks when they were young, he kept hawthorn cake in his purse all the year round.

He originally wanted to say that he would not eat haw jelly.

But after thinking about it, he hurriedly said: "Father, after I finish using up this plate of dumplings, I'll go get a piece of haw jelly and eat the biggest one."

"That's right."

"Father, you are the imperial physician in the palace. Our ancestors practiced medicine and treated diseases. The number of patients he saw was not one thousand, but eight hundred. Father, you have cured so many patients, so you are naturally well-informed. What difficult and miscellaneous diseases? It won't bother you, will it?"

"That's not necessarily the case. For example, the emperor has been suffering from headaches for many years, and he has been unable to get rid of the root cause. After all these years, there are always a few days every month when the emperor has a headache. After all, imperial doctors are also human beings, not gods, diseases that can be cured , is also limited."

"Father, you are cautious and humble. You will definitely be promoted in the future, and it is possible to be a judge at the Supreme Hospital."

"You kid, what do you do with this flattery, just say what you have to say."

"Father, if someone has symptoms such as vomiting blood, fatigue, black and purple face, talking nonsense, high fever, diarrhea, coma and unconsciousness, what disease might it be?"

"Why, Miss Xiang Er fell ill again?"

"It's not her illness, I'm just... just...don't be angry if I tell you."

"You said."

"I'm sitting in Min'an Hall—"

Before Lu Yu finished speaking, he got hit on the head: "I knew you were dishonest, how many times have I told you that you are not allowed to see a doctor for others, and you don't know how many catties you have?"

Physician Lu was obviously angry.

"Father, didn't you mean to be angry? Why did you do it again? I confessed to you by going to the Min'an Hall for a consultation. Shouldn't I be lenient? Besides, I have something serious to discuss with Dad."

"I don't know you yet? Can you still have business?"
