Chapter 26 Returning to Beijing
After half a day, Xie Ruitang's mind was filled with all kinds of information, but he only remembered the most important thing, that is, he was taking Haitang back to Beijing!
In his previous life, he saw Cheng Haitang for the first time at the city gate.At that time, she was sitting in Prince Xian's carriage, lifting the curtains and looking out.It was clearly a bright and charming little face, but it was frowning, with a touch of sadness in its expression.At that time, Haitang knew that her father and brother were not in the Cheng Mansion, and her heart was filled with worries about her future life.

She just glanced at Xie Ruitang, but Xie Ruitang fell in love with her at first sight.

Now that the goal was determined, everyone began to pack their luggage.The journey was long, and there was a carriage on both sides, so I could only take some gold and silver with me.The two families also had some valuable and useful things, which Feng Mingze took to the town to give to the families whose houses were burned down.After the Jin Yiwei incident, some people in the town also moved their families. It is not surprising that they moved.

Gu Quan gave his box of medical books, medical case notes, and prepared patent medicines to Haitang.After leaving his hometown again, he felt that even his identity as a doctor could be completely let go.

"Haitang, I have left all my master's skills to you. I know that although you are just a woman, you rarely have an innocent heart that can help the world. It is impossible for my master to go back to the capital in this life, so it is up to you to take my master's skills." Bringing back medical skills and ethics can be regarded as atonement for the master!"

Haitang closed the camphor wood box and nodded solemnly to the master.

The night before they left, Xie San took Haitang on horseback to Linyue Lake for a run.The surface of the lake was sparkling, and the half-moon's reflection gathered and shredded into pieces, rippling in the wind with their heartbeats.

"Haitang, what do you want to do when you return to Kyoto?" Xie San asked Haitang to sit on the horse, and he led the horse and walked slowly along the lake.

"I don't know what else I can do in the capital. The master passed on the medical skills to me, and I always thought that I should use it to cure diseases and save people, so as not to waste the master's more than ten years of hard work. But the master said that women in Kyoto can only Staying in the boudoir and doing embroidery..." Haitang said a little frustrated: "When you treat people's illnesses, you will inevitably have to show up in public. In that case, it should be considered a deviant in the capital, right?"

"You don't know how much trouble I got into when I first went to the town for medical treatment! Because I am a woman, even if I have medical skills, they did not allow me to sit in court for consultation in the town. They threw my medical box on the street. Brother Mingze even got into a few fights for me.

Later, I had to sell medicines to pharmacies and medical clinics first. Gradually, more and more people used our medicines, and they really cured diseases. Then people began to believe in me little by little. When selling medicines, I helped people with their diseases. Check your pulse and give some medication suggestions. " Haitang talked about the past softly, but Xie San felt heavy when he heard it.

Xie San comforted her: "It is not unprecedented for women to practice medicine. There are also female doctors in the palace. They practice medicine in the harem and treat the maids and chamberlains. In the previous dynasty, there was Concubine Hang, who was a female doctor. Nowadays, women have more rights than in the previous dynasty. Even bigger, even a woman can apply for a divorce..." After saying this, Xie San immediately regretted it, he and the girl were not married yet, so what about a divorce?Fortunately, Haitang didn't continue to ask.

After a moment of silence, Haitang said with a smile: "In addition to seeing doctors, I also like to make medicinal meals. Diet therapy can not only cure diseases, but also reduce the harm of medicinal materials to the body. It can also be made sweet and delicious, so that patients who hate taking medicine can enjoy it." Go down. When I was little, my biggest wish was to turn medicine into something delicious."

Xie San also smiled: "Then I can help with this, I can help with the food!"

"I'm back in Kyoto, and I don't know if I can go out, so will I still be able to see you?" Haitang was worried as she thought about embroidering at home every day. "You haven't taught me how to ride a horse yet!"

"Don't worry, if you can't see me, I'll go see you!" Xie San said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn martial arts from me?"

"I don't want it, I just need to learn to ride a horse and escape!" "What about when there is no horse?"

"I'm pretending to be dead!"

……

Early the next morning, both carriages and horses were ready to go.Along the way from Kyoto, Xie San, Ling Xue, Feng Mingze, and four secret guards, plus Cheng Haitang, Ji'er, and Ling Shuang.Along the way to Yunnan, Gu Quan and Feng Tingxiao couple.

Haitang and Ji'er bid farewell to their master, Mingze also bid farewell to his parents, and the group marched toward Kyoto.

Haitang had never traveled far, so she refused to stay in the carriage the next day. Xie San asked her to get on the horse and led her to gallop. Along the way, she felt dizzy and had leg pain, so Haitang hid in the carriage and refused to ride again. .Xie San laughed, and he could feel Haitang's irritation through the curtain.

Every time it's time to rest, the three girls are laughing and laughing and cooking, having a great time.Not only did they bring abundant ingredients, Ling Xue and the secret guards also hunted some birds and animals along the way. Haitang ground the spices and herbs into powder and sprinkled them on the barbecue. The roasted meat had a unique flavor.

Ling Xue: What I ate in the past may have been fake meat.

Xie San: I don’t want to go on errands anymore. I want to go home with my girl.

After walking for another three or two days, the melancholy and uneasiness in Haitang's heart finally disappeared, and her face returned to a smile as bright as a spring flower.Xie San often rode beside the carriage, and Haitang also lifted the curtain, leaning against the window and chatting with Xie San.

A group of young people had fun in their misery, laughing and talking, turning the long journey of several days into an outing.Several secret guards especially enjoyed it. This trip was so considerate. They didn't have to think about where to hide all day so as not to be discovered, and they didn't have to eat several meals into one.

They even went to the river to kill birds and beasts, skin them and pluck their feathers, and they all rushed there.

Haitang came over with half a roasted pheasant. Before she even got there, Xie San had already asked about the smell.He took the roast chicken and was about to take the opportunity to grab her hand, but saw her smile, turn around and run away.

Looking at Haitang's smiling face, Xie San thought, this life is different after all.
