Chapter 1303 Party
It's no wonder she was surprised. Since she came to the capital, these wealthy families, both men and women, no longer like to go to the pharmacy for treatment. No matter whether the illness is serious or minor, acute or chronic, the doctor has to come to their home for treatment.
As for the sake of privacy, she felt that it was unnecessary at all, because when the doctor came back, the servants would take the house to the pharmacy to get medicine, and even if the doctor on duty didn't tell her, the doctor in the pharmacy would be able to tell at a glance what the disease was.
Not to mention that some difficult and complicated diseases need to be diagnosed with the same doctor to avoid prescribing the wrong prescription and treating the wrong disease.
If I go to your home to see a patient and take a look around, everyone in the house will know that you are sick.
You can tell from the few families she treated that basically, as soon as she walked in, the whole house knew about her condition. Some families were too talkative, so as soon as she left, the news of the patient's illness would spread to the street.
If you ask her, the confidentiality of medical consultations is not very high.
If you want to keep it secret, go to Jishidiang and sit on the second floor. If you really have a hidden disease, you can ask the doctor to prescribe a few more prescriptions and then give it to the patient. Not to mention your family members and people on the street, you can even fool the doctors in the hall.
The most important thing is that it saves them time.
Don’t you know that when you go out to see patients, you have to ride in a carriage and then walk a long way after getting off the carriage?
For example, in the imperial palace, it takes half an hour to walk from the palace gate to the East Palace, and then from the East Palace to the Taiji Hall, right?
How much can she do in half an hour?
Manbao held Cui's hand, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Madam Cui, just because you're willing to go to Jishidiang for treatment, I'll ask Manager Zheng to give you a lower price on the medicine."
Cui: "...Thank you?"
Is she short of money?
Tang He and his companions had already sat down in the open pavilion, which was surrounded by bamboo curtains and covered with a thick layer of felt.
In summer, the felt cloth is removed and only bamboo curtains are placed, which can block some mosquitoes and allow ventilation. People can sit comfortably in the open pavilion.
In winter, the bamboo curtains are lowered and felt cloth is hung to block the wind.
Because they wanted to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, the felt cloth and bamboo curtains facing the plum trees in the open pavilion were rolled up. They sat by the brazier with a table next to them, and servants served them to cut and grill meat.
Tang He sat cross-legged on the low couch, reached into the brazier to warm himself up, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's still so comfortable at home."
Yang Heshu smiled and shook his head.
Yin Huo sat quietly beside Bai Erlang, also sitting cross-legged on his own low couch. A servant brought him tea and placed it on the small low table beside him.
The table was small, only able to hold a plate and a teacup. Tang He and Yin Huo laughed and said, "It's a bit shabby, don't mind it, Master Yin."
Yin Huo bowed slightly and said, "You're too polite, Senior. I don't know that."
Tang He raised his eyebrows. "By the way, you are also studying at the Imperial College now. So, I am indeed your senior."
Then he turned to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang and said, "Don't call us 'seniors' all the time. Just call us seniors together with Yin Xuedi."
Bai Erlang and Manbao are not very picky about their friends, but Bai Shan is very cautious in making friends. Since he brought Yin Huo here, he obviously thinks he is a good friend.
Moreover, after they returned to the capital, they heard that the King of Yizhou left behind assassins when he left the capital. It was said that Yin Huo was also there at the time. These young men could be said to have lived and died together.
Yang Heshu spoke little, and most of the time it was Tang He who spoke. Yin Huo also didn't speak much. He looked reserved at first, but after listening to them talk for a while, his expression gradually relaxed.
Yang Heshu took a sip of tea. Bai Shan looked outside and asked, "Where did Manbao and the others go?"
Tang He was very observant. He looked up at him and asked, "Are you engaged?"
Bai Shan blushed slightly, but remained calm. He said, "Her parents are not in the capital."
Tang He said, "Well, she has a brother here, so let's just get it done."
Yang Heshu was the official in Luojiang County, and he knew how much the Zhou family loved Zhou Man. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid her brothers don't dare to make this decision, nor can they."
Bai Shan nodded and said as a matter of course: "We are still young, so things like engagement should be taken seriously."
Bai Erlang was particularly curious, "Have you discussed this with Manbao?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "No."
He just said that he had always been with them and had never heard them talk about it.
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "This is called telepathy, understand?"
Shirojiro:......
Tang He burst out laughing when he saw this. Yang Heshu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even Yin Huo smiled. The atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Tang He relaxed even more and leaned directly on the low couch and asked, "When the time comes, I'll give you an engagement gift. What do you want?"
Bai Shan asked, "We won't be returning to Beijing until the beginning of next spring. Will Senior Tang still be in Beijing by then?"
Tang He nodded and said, "I have entered the Ministry of Justice and will not be sent out for the time being."
He pointed at Yang Heshu and said, "But he may not be so sure."
Yin Huo looked up and asked softly, "Didn't Senior Yang join the Ministry of Revenue?"
Yang Heshu smiled lightly and said, "I have little experience and would like to be posted outside for a few more years, so joining the Ministry of Revenue is only temporary. When a suitable position becomes available outside, I will be posted outside."
Bai Shan nodded in agreement, "The capital is so small, there are too many people, and the water is too complicated. It's hard to achieve anything. It's more fun to go out and govern the people."
Tang He was drinking tea. He looked up in surprise when he heard this. "How old are you? Why are you thinking about these things?"
Bai Shan said as a matter of course: "In a few years, I will also take the imperial examination, so naturally I have to consider it early."
Tang He clicked his tongue and shook his head, then turned to ask Bai Erlang, "What about you?"
Bai Jilang looked at him blankly, "Me?"
Tang He finally felt balanced. That's right, this is normal.
Tang He's eyes fell on Yin Huo and he asked with a smile, "What do you want to do in three or four years?"
Yin Huo said: "To take care of my health, if possible, I would like to go outside the capital to have a look."
He no longer wanted to become an official. He couldn't bear the thought and his body wouldn't allow it. He was just happy to be able to leave the capital for a walk.
Tang He nodded slightly. This was a good idea and quite a plan.
Mrs. Tang and her companions came over from the side courtyard, handed the heater to the servants, and asked with a smile, "What were you laughing at just now? I heard your laughter from far away."
Everyone's eyes fell on Manbao, and then Tang He said with a smile: "Nothing, Madam, come and sit down."
Mrs. Tang looked unconvinced and glanced at Tang He without saying a word.
Tang He looked at Yang Heshu, who smiled and said, "It's really nothing. Please have a seat, sister-in-law. Please have a seat, Madam."
No one believed what Tang He said, but when Yang Heshu said it, Mrs. Tang and Cui believed it immediately, and then they sat down with smiles. Manbao also sat down on the low couch next to Bai Shan, looking at them curiously.
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
