Chapter 233: Xiao Xie

"What did you say?! You want to come to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

"Keep your voice down."

Zhou Zhongan looked around and lowered his voice again, "You are not kidding me, are you? You are doing well in the Dali Temple, why did you come to Jingzhao Prefecture? What position do you hold in Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"Same as you, Shaoyin."

Zhou Zhongan frowned, "No... you are Shao Yin, then what about me? I was demoted?"

Xie Hui looked at his friend helplessly, wondering how he had managed to become the Shao Yin of Jingzhao.

"Does your Jingzhao Prefecture have a Shao Yin? I will wait until Lord Wu retires before I can come."

Zhou Zhongan was relieved. "If you hadn't mentioned Lord Wu, I would have almost forgotten that it doesn't matter whether he is in Jingzhao Prefecture or not. He would just take a nap in the duty room when he came. No, you haven't mentioned it yet, why didn't the Dali Temple come to Jingzhao Prefecture? You have less time in the Dali Temple than in Jingzhao Prefecture, at least you don't have to help people dig out manure."

Hearing the word "shit pit", the shopkeeper paused in his action of serving the dishes. This lord has a really strong taste...

Xie Hui did not mention Shen Yuan, but said: "It just so happens that Lord Wu is going to retire, and the position of Jingzhao Shaoyin is vacant. I think Jingzhao Prefecture is pretty good... It's lively."

"Busy? That's the reason? Well, why don't you tell the emperor that you came to Jingzhao Prefecture, and I will go to the Dali Temple instead."

"Let your father speak."

Zhou Zhongan rolled his eyes. "Is that human language? But it's good that you came to Jingzhao Prefecture. We two brothers can join hands and work together. We are no longer afraid of Lord Su."

Xie Hui couldn't help but expose his fantasy, "You think too much, my father didn't let Lord Su watch me."

"Xie Youqi, just go ahead and say it. If you have the guts, try talking to your Yuanyuan like that."

"You actually want to compete with her?"

Zhou Zhongan... Zhou Zhongan used chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork and ate it. "Today's meal is on you!"

November 17th was the day of the second free clinic. They came early today. Many people missed the turn at the free clinic on the 15th. Shen Yuan told them at that time that they would come again today. So today, as soon as the stalls were set up, many people came forward. Moreover, Bai Zhi didn’t need to say anything today. Everyone lined up spontaneously. Some people even held small stools in their hands. It was really a "line-up experience".

The carriage used for individual diagnosis had been modified yesterday. All the unnecessary decorations and seats were removed, and a layer of clean cotton cloth was sewn on the remaining area. Before the patient got on the carriage, a layer of coarse cloth boiled in boiling water was placed on top of it, and the top cloth was replaced before the next person came.

Just like last time, most of the people who came to see the doctor this time had minor illnesses or chronic ailments left over from years of overwork. It is not easy to cure old ailments, but as long as they can alleviate some of them, it is good enough.

While treating patients, Qiaoqin was most concerned about Sanniang whom she met last time. This time, she brought prepared ointment, but the morning passed and she didn't show up.

At noon, they found a restaurant nearby to have lunch. Shen Yuan ate alone in the upstairs room, Qingdai accompanied her upstairs, and the others ate in the lobby downstairs. The food in this restaurant tasted very ordinary, and it was even more tasteless when eating alone. Shen Yuan only ate a small bowl of rice and didn't want to eat anymore. "Qingdai, you come and eat, I'll go downstairs to take a look."

When she was at home, Shen Yuan would never let her maid eat her leftovers. However, the portion of the dish today was large, and it was as if she had not eaten anything after she finished it. Moreover, she also used clean chopsticks to pick up the food, so it was not completely leftovers.

"Miss, I will accompany you down."

"No need. This stone and wood must have finished eating and is waiting outside. You can eat slowly and come down after you are done."

Perhaps it was a habit that Shi and Mu inherited from their time as shadow guards in the palace; eating was all about filling their stomachs quickly.

Sure enough, when Shen Yuan opened the door, she saw two people standing on the left and right outside the door like door gods. She went downstairs and the two followed her.

"Where are Fuling, Baizhi, and Qiaoqinren?"

When Shen Yuan came down, he saw only Bai Zhi still eating, Fuling sitting aside, and Qiao Qin was nowhere to be seen.

"Girl, Sister Qiaoqin said she wanted to go back first. She made medicine for a lady, but she didn't see anyone all morning, and she was worried about her."

Speaking of this, Shen Yuan also remembered that the woman who came to check his pulse because she couldn't conceive, didn't come again today.

"Baizhi, wait for Qingdai after you finish eating. She is still eating. Fuling, come with me first."

"Yes, girl."

When they passed by, Qiaoqin was already seeing someone, but after seeing each patient, she would subconsciously look up and around, obviously looking for someone.

Fuling hurried over and sat down next to Qiaoqin, "Those behind can come over here."

Shen Yuan stepped forward and patted Qiaoqin on the shoulder. "Just go and get your diagnosis done. I'll be watching from the side. I also know what the auntie from yesterday looked like."

"Yes, young lady. Please punish me, I shouldn't be distracted."

"I didn't say I was going to punish you. Besides, I saw it all just now. You were not distracted when you took the pulse. But it's not good to keep doing this. If the patient sees it, he might think something is wrong with you. Just keep watching. There are more and more people coming."

While Shen Yuan was looking at the items, he was also strolling around the stalls nearby. He had never visited such a collection before, but now he found it quite interesting. He even bought a few straw grasshoppers to take home for Huang Jingao to play with.

But she didn't walk around for long before going back to help. There were much more people today than last time, and Fuling and Qiaoqin wished they could split each person in half.

Shen Yuan doesn't know any medical skills, but she can still deliver things and do odd jobs.

"Girl, the woman you are looking for is here."

Shitou came down from the tree and reported to Shen Yuan.

"Where is it?!"

She had casually drawn a picture for Shitou not long ago, thinking that he could see far from the tree and had good eyesight, so it would be perfect for him to find someone. He actually found the person so quickly.

"Here he is."

"Okay! Shitou is really capable. I'll give you a monthly salary later."

Shitou silently returned to the tree. After such a long time, he still couldn't get used to his girl's compliments. But he almost forgot that his original name was Shadow.

"Dark night."

…

"Wood."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Nothing."

After a while, Shen Yuan saw the person that Qiaoqin had been thinking about all day, and this time she was holding a child in her arms.

"Sanniang?"

"Hey! I've met the girl." Sanniang could also see that the two doctors listened to the young girl in front of her, so she quickly put the child down and was about to pay her respects.

But Shen Yuan did not give in. "No need to be polite. Doctor Qiaoqin prepared an ointment for you and is waiting for you. Is this your daughter? What are you looking for? She is so pretty!"

The little girl had her hair tied up in a high braid, and her eyes were big and round. She was not afraid of people and kept blinking at Shen Yuan.

"Yes, her nickname is Sugar Bean. Little wild girl, the lady is holding it up."

Shen Yuan rummaged in his purse and pulled out a straw frog he had just bought. "Tangdou, here's some for you to play with."

Tangdou looked up at his mother, and Sanniang smiled and said, "Take it. What do you want to say?"

Tangdou narrowed her eyes and said loudly, "Thank you, sister!" before taking the things from Shen Yuan's hand.

"So good."

As she was talking, Shitou appeared again, "Girl, Master Xie is here again."
