Chapter 768 A Dream of Youth 300
The stall owner glanced at the table, which was already full, and smiled apologetically at Xie Ning, "Young master, this table is already full..."
Although Xie Ning wasn't wearing gold or silver, she possessed an extraordinary air about her and had a handsome face, clearly indicating that she was a noble young master. The stall owner dared not offend her and felt uneasy.
His mutton offal noodles are delicious, with generous portions and low prices, so even though the stall is small, many people eat there. He only has two square tables, so some people squat by the roadside to eat their mutton offal noodles.
He couldn't imagine someone like Xie Ning.
"It's alright, just do it." Squatting by the roadside to eat noodles is nothing to be embarrassed about; in fact, it's quite fun, even if it's a bit hot.
"My lord, the fermented rice wine is ready."
Aqi Lan laughed brightly. Her voice was neither shrill nor rough, but rather had a cheerful quality. However, if you listened carefully, you could still tell that it was a female voice.
Xie Ning took the fermented rice wine and looked up to meet the gaze of the old man sitting imposingly at the square table. Xie Ning felt that his gaze swept across her face like a cold lightning bolt before naturally shifting away, as if he were just curiously observing her.
The old man wore an old brown cloth robe, but with an animal skin coat over it. He had a dignified face, a high nose and a wide mouth. His eyes, though somewhat narrowed by the wrinkles, were very sharp.
His entourage looked much like him, with high noses and wide mouths. Xie Ning's gaze swept over the group's carriages and horses before he lowered his eyes. They were probably merchants from Northern Jin.
After Xie Ning entered the city, the old man squinted and scrutinized the backs of Xie Ning and his group, focusing on the horses other than Wu Qi. He could tell that these were not ordinary horses, but warhorses provided by the army.
You can tell just by looking at the horse's hooves and saddle. The question is, who is Xie Ning?
Judging from his attire and demeanor, he was not like the son of an ordinary family, but in terms of official rank, he was too young. He remembered that the Xu family did not have a grandson of that age.
It's even less likely for other families. What young master could be escorted by the army? Don't think that just because he's wearing ordinary clothes, he can't tell the difference.
"Master...sir, shall we go into town now?"
"Hmm, send someone to investigate that group of people from earlier."
"yes."
When his subordinates found out that the other party was a military doctor who had returned from his shift, the old man did not believe it at all. He sent someone to investigate again. As if he had thought of something, the old man stroked his somewhat gray beard and said, "Let's see if the other party has come out of the Xu residence."
If he is a military doctor, he should return to the camp after reporting the matter. If he has not come out, then there is a problem.
Speaking of military doctors, the old man immediately recalled the battle between Da Zhou and Xi Li. Da Zhou's military doctors played a very important role, and not only that, Da Zhou's wound medicine was also extremely effective.
They managed to get some back, but they couldn't replicate them. What a bunch of idiots.
On the other side, Xie Ning chatted with General Xu about the army's situation for a while before continuing to examine his wounds.
Seeing that she was recovering well, Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief. When she was in the army, her only worry was that her condition would relapse, and she would repeatedly remind her not to drink alcohol before leaving the house.
Terrified, Madam Xu immediately hid all the wine in the house, making sure that General Xu wouldn't get a drop.
"This skin-regenerating ointment is indeed very effective."
The ointment used for General Xu was different from the ordinary one; it was more expensive and worked faster.
"General Xu, I'm leaving you some tips and remedies for recuperation. If you take good care of yourself for another three months, you'll be fully recovered."
"Thank you for your help, Physician Xie."
When General Xu heard Xie Ning's affirmation, his worries of the past few days dissipated. He was still quite afraid of dying, especially from such an illness. He would rather die on the battlefield and gain a good reputation.
Thinking of the blue robe Xie Ning had mentioned earlier, General Xu had already secretly told General Xu that they both desperately wanted such a miraculous medicine and had been asking Xie Ning about it openly and secretly, but the other party was as tight-lipped as a saw, and they couldn't get any information out of him.
They didn't want the prescription; they just wanted to know how the medicine was distributed. But Xie Ning remained silent, busy recording medical cases every day, never having a moment to spare.
But the matter of the blue clothes and cotton textiles alone was enough for them to increase Xie Ning's importance. They only hoped that the relationship between the two would be better so that they could also exert their influence in the distribution.
In particular, regarding the cotton textile industry, General Xu had actually submitted a memorial earlier, but it was not selected in Bingzhou because the area was too remote to be suitable for establishing an official residence.
The only place that was open was a pharmacy, but it didn't have much independent production capacity. There wasn't even a medical officer there; it was just located in the government office, and few people came to buy medicine.
Now that General Xu has recovered considerably and the data from the drug trials has been compiled, Xie Ning plans to pack her things and return to the capital. However, before going back, she needs to check on the situation at the government pharmacy so she can offer suggestions after returning to the capital.
