Chapter 109

What is going on?

Uncle Pang didn't say anything, but smiled slightly and looked at Magistrate Han's entourage who was sitting next to him and sipping tea.

Magistrate Han's entourage put down his teacup, nodded and said, "I will take my husband's surname, Tao. This name was given to me by the husband himself."

When Xu Yi heard this, he immediately turned to look at him in confusion. He asked: "Han Guijie, what Uncle Pang said is wrong, could it be that Han Guijie has something to look for?"

"Uncle Pang just said that I came to Yanting County this time to find a doctor." Han Taodun He paused for a moment, thought about it, and then said, "Does Dr. Xu know that there is another doctor named Xu in Yanting County?"

Xu Yi frowned and thought to himself, is this Yanting County big? It's hard to say whether there is a doctor named Xu.

Besides, his foundation in Yanting County is not deep. If he really wanted to know how many doctors there were in Yanting County, he would have to consult another person.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi told Han Guijie what he was thinking.

Han Tao thought deeply, then raised his hands and said, "Doctor Xu, please show me the way."

"You don't have to be so polite." Xu Yi smiled lightly.

Han Tao stood up and said to Xu Yi: "In that case, let's go there first. This matter concerns Magistrate Han, so we can't delay."

Xu Yi clicked his tongue in his heart, but he also thought about it without hesitation.

Before leaving, he first told A Xu and A Jin to rest first after they were busy until noon. He would make other arrangements after he came back.

As for Yu Qiulin, when Yu Qiulin heard that Xu Yi had other things to do, he said he would stay.

"I'm a little worried about you leaving Ah Xu and Ah Jin here. I'm afraid I won't be able to control those women." Yu Qiulin said.

Xu Yi: "Thank you for your hard work, brother Qiu."

Although he didn't think these rough ladies dared to bully A Xu and the others, he still accepted Yu Qiulin's intentions.

...

Xu Yi took Uncle Pang and Han Tao on a donkey cart to the East Street Commercial District. In a bustling street with many shops on East Street, a donkey cart stopped in front of a medical clinic with a wide open facade and simple decoration.

Han Tao opened the curtain and frowned in confusion when he saw the sign of "Miaoshou Pavilion", but still got out of the carriage.

What they are looking for is Wu Guanshan.

As Dr. Chen's apprentice, Wu Guanshan has studied medicine with Dr. Chen since he was a child. He knows better than Xu Yi what other doctors there are in Yanting County.

When Xu Yi led people into the hospital, Wu Guanshan was treating a patient with a frown. He pressed the patient's wrist with one hand and gently pinched his chin with the other, looking thoughtful.

He heard someone stopping next to him, his ears twitched, and he looked up sideways. He saw that it was Xu Yi who was looking for him, and he couldn't help but pause.

Xu Yi gestured to him to continue, and then continued to stand quietly next to him, watching how he treated the patient.

Wu Guanshan was not affected much. He took back his hand and said to his patient: "You caught a cold at night, it's not a serious problem. Drink more hot soup in the past few days, and I will prescribe you another dose of pills." Just take it with the hot soup."

After saying that, he quickly wrote out the prescription and handed it to the patient.

Then let the patient go to the counter in front to find the apprentice to prescribe medicine and pay money.

After sending the patient away, Wu Guanshan lifted up his robe and stood up, looked at Xu Yi, and then turned his attention to Uncle Pang and Han Tao next to him.

He was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He said with a smile, "Why do you come to me today when you have time?"

"I want to ask you something." Xu Yi winked at him.

Then he told him that Han Guijie was looking for a doctor in Yanting County.

Wu Guanshan frowned and said, "The doctor named Xu is you, isn't he?"

"I don't know County Magistrate Han, so I don't think he is looking for me." Xu Yi said.

This Han Guijie didn't talk enough. He probably had something to say that he couldn't tell others directly. But he thought about it, and his impression of County Magistrate Han only stopped at the gossip Zhang Tiegou said when he came back from his business trip, and Pang Boyi mentioned Magistrate Han when he talked about Wang Shun being escorted back to the county seat. .

Other than that, I've never heard of it again.

Wu Guanshan pondered in his mind, looking at Xu Yi with a somewhat obscure look, and then at Han Tao. He said: "As far as I know, apart from Xu Yi, there seems to be no other doctor named Xu in this county."

However, he paused.

Then he looked at them and hesitated to speak.

Xu Yi said: "Brother Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Nothing." Wu Guanshan shook his head and asked Han Tao next to him, "May I ask your Excellency, what does County Magistrate Han want to find Dr. Xu?" Is it something important?"

Han Tao frowned and said apologetically: "This involves Magistrate Han's family affairs, so I hope I can't inform you."

Wu Guanshan sighed, although he subconsciously felt that this matter was related to Xu Yi. Xu Yi denied it.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Guanshan really thought of a doctor named Xu.

It's just that Dr. Xu is old and now does not live in the county town, but in the northern suburbs.

"The northern suburbs are not far away. How about we go to the northern suburbs again?" Han Tao looked at Xu Yi pointedly.

Xu Yi was stunned, raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Am I going too?"

Han Tao nodded and said, "Yes, please, Doctor Xu."

Xu Yi: "..."

No, why are you letting him run errands with you?

He took a deep breath and looked at Uncle Pang, who was beside him, but Uncle Pang smiled and shook his head.

Looking at Han Tao, whom he had just met today, Xu Yi asked curiously: "I wonder why Han Guijie wants me to go with you? It's really hard to understand."

Han Tao's face remained the same, but his eyes had other meanings. He said lightly: "The housewarming gift that Pang Guanren gave to Dr. Xu was prepared by Lang Jun. The younger one is also quite curious and wants to get to know Dr. Xu."

Xu Yi was confused. How could this... housewarming gift be paired with County Magistrate Han? Got a relationship?

But looking at Han Tao's expression, he knew that this man would not tell him the reason.

This time, on the way to the northern suburbs, there was an additional Wuguan Mountain.

Originally, Wu Guanshan did not have to follow him, but he was worried about Xu Yi and insisted on following him.

Instead of riding in each other's car, the two of them asked the apprentice to bring the donkey cart parked in the backyard, and the two of them took the hospital's vehicle.

inside the carriage.

Wu Guanshan couldn't help but asked Xu Yi with a strange expression: "You really don't know this County Magistrate Han?"

"I've only heard of it from other people." Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Wu, if this person is really You are here to find me, why should I come to you?"

"Yes." Wu Guanshan nodded clearly.

But he still had doubts in his mind: "The Han County Magistrate ordered his entourage to come to the county to look for someone, but he didn't say the reason, which is really hard for people to guess. We'd better stay away from this matter." The

same goes for Xu Yi . In this way, since he has chosen to continue practicing medicine, he should stay away from the "official government". Even if it is a personal relationship, it can only be a personal relationship.

The journey to the northern suburbs was neither close nor far. On the way, apart from this incident, Xu Yi and Wu Guanshan had not seen each other for several days.

They talked about the young man who had scrofula. After the disease was cured, there were still scars on his neck. Qingzhuang was afraid that others would think he had some strange disease, so he came to Xu Yi with money and asked if he had any plaster to remove scars.

Naturally, this ointment is available. Since Xu Yi promised to cure his disease, he would also take care of the scar.

He confiscated Qingzhuang's money, but during that time, he often received fish caught by Qingzhuang.

Nowadays, A Xu's skill in grilling fish is getting better and better, and the grilled fish made with dogwood and peppercorns has a unique taste.

Wu Guanshan once came to talk to Xu Yi about medical matters. He was lucky enough to eat it, and he still remembers the spicy and delicious taste.

"I wonder if he will catch fish again these days." Wu Guanshan moved his throat and swallowed his saliva.

Xu Yi looked at him with a smile: "Want to eat fish?"

Wu Guanshan shook his head: "I want to eat the roasted fish made by your A Xu."

Xu Yi said: "Now that the weather is getting warmer, there are more fish in the river. There will be more and more fish sellers in the market. If you really want to eat fish, it would be faster to buy one."

Wu Guanshan sighed: "Those fish are not as delicious as the fish he sent. "

Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "I think fish people are different."

"Hahaha, you are right." Wu Guanshan laughed heartily.

After talking about this, they talked about the new medical cases they had recently come across. Wu Guanshan suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "I have been seeing a woman in the past two days. She was vomiting blood during menstruation and it came out from her nose."

When Xu Yi heard this, he immediately frowned: "Is this reverse menstruation?"

" "Yes!" Wu Guanshan continued calmly, "But I think she is not suffering from liver stagnation turning into fire, but from lung heat."

There are many different syndromes for this reverse meridian, so we should not make a conclusion just because there is only bleeding from the nose and mouth.

Xu Yi thought for a while and asked Wu Guanshan: "What kind of medicinal soup did you prescribe for her?"

Wu Guanshan replied: "I looked at the pulse and it looked more like a syndrome of excessive blood pressure and ascending blood, so I gave her the medicine for diarrhea." "It's a medicinal decoction that heats and cools the blood."

"How does it work?"

"No." Wu Guanshan sighed, "She came to see me at the hospital this morning. She took the decoction for two days, but the nosebleeds still didn't subside. "

I didn't see the patient, so I couldn't say anything else. Xu Yi didn't ask any more questions.

Arriving at the northern suburbs, Wu Guanshan lifted the car curtain, looked outside, turned around and suddenly said to Xu Yi, "How about I take you to see that woman?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "Huh?"

Wu Guanshan said: " I know where this woman lives. Her husband works as a cook in the backyard of Miaoshou Pavilion. I have treated her husband before."

Xu Yi frowned: "Is this appropriate?"

Wu Guanshan sighed quietly: " His family is not rich, and he has been delayed for several months to see a doctor. If I can't be cured again, I will have to find a helper."

After that, he looked at Xu Yi with a faint look.

...

Two donkey carts stopped in front of a small courtyard.

A group of them got off the car one after another, and Wu Guanshan went to knock on the door. The person who opened the door was a child about eight years old.

When the child saw them, he was not afraid and asked: "Are you here to see Aweng for medical treatment?"

Xu Yi said softly: "You are here to see Aweng of yours."

The child said "Oh" and went inside. He shouted: "Aweng, someone is looking for you!" Then he invited Xu Yi and his party to come in.

The small courtyard is quiet. When you enter the courtyard, you will see a small front yard. There are several bamboo racks for drying medicinal materials, and some common medicinal materials are drying on the dustpan.

Across the courtyard is the bright main room. An old man with gray hair, wearing a plain white gown, is kneeling on a futon spread on the ground, crushing medicinal materials in his hands.

When he saw them coming in, he kindly called his grandson to pour tea for them.

"Are you here to find me?" The old doctor Xu looked at them, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Guanshan, and said with an undiminished smile, "I remember you, you are Mr. Chen's apprentice."

Wu Guanshan said as a junior He bowed politely and said: "Old Doctor Xu, we came to visit you rashly today because we have something to ask you."

Old Doctor Xu half-squinted his slightly cloudy eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

What's the matter? Naturally, Xu Yi would be more suitable.

Xu Yi spoke unhurriedly and explained again the matter of Magistrate Han's search for a doctor.

When the old doctor heard this, he said without much thought: "I don't know this County Magistrate Han."

Everyone was silent.

They looked at Han Tao, who was following silently.

The corners of Han Tao's mouth twitched slightly and unnoticeably. He was very depressed. He didn't know the cause and effect of the errand he received this time, let alone others.

It's just that this matter is about Lady Jiang, who is the husband's second wife. A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang felt uncomfortable in her stomach. Several doctors were called in but nothing could be done.

Mrs. Jiang then mentioned that when they came to Yinping County, they had fetal congestion on the way, and it was a doctor named Xu who came to the rescue. Mrs. Jiang was so fond of this savior that she thought of traveling all the way to Yanting County to look for him.

As for the rest, Han Tao didn't know anything about it.

But there are many doctors in Yanting County, including two named Xu, and they don't know their husbands.

Han Tao didn't know what to do for a while.

Coming out of the courtyard of old doctor Xu, Han Tao carefully looked at the young doctor in front of him. If he was to say who this doctor Xu could be, he liked Xu Yi even more.

Returning to the county town, Xu Yi said goodbye to Uncle Pang and Han Tao.

Watching the donkey cart drive away, Wu Guanshan, who was standing beside him, said, "Since they have left, when can you follow me to see the patient?"

"No hurry, let's eat first." Xu Yi touched his flat belly. If he didn't eat enough, how could he have the strength to work?

Wu Guanshan said enthusiastically: "I'm asking you. I'm asking you to help me."

Xu Yi smiled: "I may not be able to cure it."

"It doesn't matter, if you can't, then I'll ask my master. "Wu Guanshan said.

But Xu Yi shook his head: "Let's go tomorrow. I have an appointment with someone later."

...

The morning was bumpy on the road, Xu Yi went back to the house first, ate lunch made by A Xu, and then I feel that all the fatigue in my body has disappeared.

Ah Jin looked at him with a tired look on his face, and complained: "They are looking for someone, why do they have to bother Lang Jun to follow them around? Does Lang Jun still want to go out?"

Xu Yi nodded.

Although I ran a few times, I didn’t really feel tired.

However, the children at home felt sorry for him, and Xu Yi felt warm in his heart.

He said softly: "I'm going out this time. It's not far away. It's at the teahouse next door. I'll be back soon."

After hearing what he said, A Xu immediately asked: "Mr. Lang, do you want me to accompany you?"

"No. Just stay at home with Ah Jin." Xu Yi said, remembering something, and said quickly, "By the way, bring Xiao Huang over and let him get used to his new home for two days."

Not only that, but he also needs to confirm the ingredients again. of purchasing.

Tomorrow is the day of housewarming. You need to prepare all the ingredients today, otherwise you will be in a hurry and it will be too late.

In addition, the weather is still cold, so prepare the ingredients a day in advance so you don’t have to worry about problems.

But for food like tofu, you have to buy it early tomorrow, otherwise all the good ones will be bought by diners who know how to eat.

Xu Yi asked carefully before asking the key point: "Where is the cook? Do you want me to go to the dental shop to hire a temporary helper?"

A Xu said: "Lang Jun doesn't need it, the post we sent out is not "They must be the ones who come. I am enough."

"And I will help my brother." Ah Jin raised his hand hurriedly.

This raise of hands to answer... is still a habit that Xu Yi developed when he gave lectures to them and asked them to answer questions.

After arriving at the teahouse, Xu Yi and Manager Huang met in the cubicle. Manager Huang was a good person. He first asked the waiter to bring a pot of good tea and two plates of snacks, and then chatted with Xu Yi with a smile.

After exchanging a few words, the two got to the point and talked about agarwood.

"You also know that this prisoner loves agarwood very much. He has asked me to ask for it several times, but he can't find a customer to sell agarwood." Agent Huang sighed.

After he knew that Xu Yi had a different identity, he went to ask Agent Li for advice, only to find out that the other protagonist in the highly publicized theft case was Xu Xiaoguan.

After knowing Xu Yi's identity, Agent Huang concluded that Xu Yi must have other agarwood on his body.

He was unwilling to sell it and pretended to be someone else, probably because he didn't want to be noticed by interested parties.

At this point, Agent Huang said impassionedly that he would never tell anyone and would definitely help Xu Yi hide his identity.

Xu Yi looked at him calmly: "Manager Huang, you are willing to hide it for me. You must have something to ask for."

"Xu Xiaoguan is really smart." Manager Huang chuckled and said in a low voice, "Xu Xiaoguan, you Just tell me if there is anything else on your body, and if so, can you..."

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "No, no."

Manager Huang's unspoken words were halted: "... ..." He looked at Xu Yi with regret, "Is it really gone?"

"Brother Huang, you know better than me that this top-quality agarwood is hard to find. If I hadn't been short of money, I wouldn't have sold it at that time. Yes." Xu Yi said sincerely.

Manager Huang listened and felt that what Xu Yi said made sense.

Thinking about such a large piece of agarwood, if it is collected properly, the price will definitely increase in the future.

Manager Huang looked disappointed. Officer Xing was very generous and gave him a large reward. If Xu Yi didn't have agarwood on his body, he would have to continue looking for it elsewhere.

After coughing a few times, Manager Huang said: "In this case, Huang can't continue to nag Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will still hide your identity from you."

After all, as Ya people, they are very particular. It’s the word trust.

If trust is gone, who would dare to do business with them?

"If there is anything you want to buy or sell in the future, Mr. Xu Xiaoguan can come to Huang again." Before leaving, Agent Huang did not forget to win over customers, "I do business for others and I am always fair. Go to the dental shop and ask about it. You can know."

When Xu Yi heard this, his eyebrows curved and he couldn't help but smile.

He came to see Agent Huang because he really had something else to do.

"I want to hire a live-in rough lady. I wonder if Agent Huang has any good candidates."

Agent Huang said, "It's easy to say. If you have any requests, just ask. There are still several people on the roster in my hand. "

Hiring a rough lady is an idea that suddenly came to Xu Yi in the past few days.

The new house is still a bit spacious for him. He, A Xu, A Jin, and Xiao Huang couldn't live in so many rooms.

But it is not good to leave the extra room empty for a long time, otherwise the beams in the house will rot easily.

In Xu Yi's eyes, A Xu and A Jin have already taken on many tasks. Now they not only have to study, but also help concoct pills, and occasionally guard the stove for brewing medicinal wine.

I can no longer spare any more energy to take care of the house.

After Xu Yi made the request, Agent Huang went back and looked through the roster and quickly picked out the ones that met the requirements.

Agent Huang sent the person over before the next day.

This woman was about thirty years old and lived outside the county town. Her husband also worked as an errand in a wealthy family.

She also has a sister who is thirteen years old and takes care of the two elderly people at home. These are all public information and will be recorded on the roster.

After Xu Yi heard what Agent Huang said, he went to see the woman again. He saw that she had an honest face and talked a lot. She didn't look around after entering the room, and only lowered her head slightly.

Without hesitation, Xu Yi immediately signed a two-year lease with the woman named Fang Liu Niang.

"Mother Fang, please take care of the work at home from now on." Xu Yi took out Jiao Zi and stuffed it into Fang Liu Niang's hand.

Fang Liu Niang looked at the fifty-tael handout, happily stuffed it into her arms, leaned over and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will do a good job and don't let you worry about it."

"Okay." Xu Yi nodded and shouted. Ah Jin took her to the servant's room in the back room.

...

In the dead of night, Han Tao was tossing and turning in the inn room.

After thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong.

What else is Mrs. Jiang hiding? If it is really a doctor named Xu, this doctor has excellent medical skills, and many people in Yanting County will know about it.

If this is the case, only Xu Yi can qualify as this candidate.

Why not prepare a gift for him tomorrow?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Han Tao could no longer hold back, and he was already thinking about what kind of gift to prepare so that it would not be inappropriate.
