Chapter 231 Little Overlord
[Xingyitang] is located on the prosperous Maxing Street on the east side of the Imperial Palace.
Dongcheng District was a concentration camp for the powerful and wealthy in Bianliang City, with the mansions of many officials, the Shilou Tower which was well-known in the capital, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion which was gaining fame, and many pharmacies where the imperial doctors of the Hanlin Academy sat.
For example: Du Jingou's family, Cao's Dusheng Pills, Shanshui Li's oral and throat medicine, Shiyuer Ban Fangyu, Yinhaier Bai Langzhong's family who specializes in pediatrics, Daxie Ren's family who are good at obstetrics, etc., but the best one is Chen's [Medical Hall]. After all, this is the designated cooperative unit of the leading medical officer bureau, and who dares to disobey?
Three generations ago, the Chen family was a top-tier powerful family, and their three-story mansion was rare even in Dongcheng District, where powerful people were everywhere.
Chen Pingping called for a carriage, and in about a quarter of an hour, they arrived in front of the [Medical Clinic].
As soon as Chen Ge got off the carriage, his eyes were attracted by the huge plaque. The three words "Xingyitang" were written in a chic and elegant style, with a hint of the running script style of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi.
Just from these three words, it can be seen that the calligraphy of the person who wrote this is already at the highest level.
On either side of the main door of the Medical Hall hangs a couplet that reads: "I wish there were no suffering in the world, and would rather the medicine on the shelf gather dust."
Chen Ge was shocked. The doctors in his own pharmacy were truly kind-hearted.
Pharmacies in later generations are not like this. The loudspeakers are broadcasting all day long: "Buy ten members' points and get two free, spend 58 or more and get eggs free." They are afraid that you don't have enough medicine and they wish you could eat it as a meal.
"What a lousy chief physician from the [Medical Clinic]! Tie up this quack and send him to the authorities."
Get the first impression!
As soon as Chen Ge reached the door, he heard a woman's angry shouting coming from inside the pharmacy, directed at the doctor who was treating patients in the pharmacy.
"I work in the Medical Bureau and hold a formal imperial appointment as a seventh-rank Imperial Medical Officer. I'm not a servant in your residence. What gives you the right to kidnap me?"
"Just because you tried to murder the young lady of my prime minister's mansion!" A burly old lady stepped forward, pulled out the belt from her waist, grabbed the white-bearded medical officer with her backhand, and tied a bow behind his back.
"You have no sense of shame, you have lost all your civility, and the world is going downhill..." The old lady came up and took off her belt, scaring the medical officer so much that he closed his eyes immediately.
Chen Ge saw it all and felt happy in his heart.
"Ha, I didn't expect that a big and strong old lady could actually have a girl's heart."
"The old lady pulling at her belt, this scene is definitely a masterpiece comparable to Li Changshou's [100 Beauties in Age]..."
"Who is this girl? She's so powerful, yet a seventh-rank official just tied her up without blinking an eye." Chen Ge asked Chen Pingping behind him in a low voice.
"Master, that woman's name is Ouyang Qingqing. She's the beloved daughter of Vice Prime Minister Ouyang Xiu. She's arrogant and domineering, a well-known bully in Tokyo. Ouyang Xiu is also known for being very protective of his children. The medical officer must be incredibly unlucky to have met her."
Chen Ge: I'm going to cross paths with the Northern Song Dynasty leader Ouyang Xiu so soon? I'm kind of excited just thinking about it!
In the Song Dynasty historical materials that Chen Ge knew, there was no detailed record about Ouyang Xiu's daughter. The only thing that was handed down was a poem "Mourning for the Female Teacher" mourning her daughter who died young.
When he entered my house in the evening, he greeted me with a smile; when he left my house in the morning, he held my clothes and ran towards me, playing with my arms.
I don’t realize the night and I don’t know the four seasons. Suddenly I’m gone and I miss you a thousand times a day.
Why are the days so long? Why are the nights so sleepless? What do I hope for when I enter the house at dusk? Where do I go when I leave the house in the morning? I am lost in thought, yet it is hard to catch up. I have shaved my hair, but my eyebrows are still beautiful.
It is invisible, just like when you wake up from drinking and then fall asleep, only to recall the dream when you were drunk?
Eight years are like a few days, and a hundred years are hard to come by. My love for you is just a moment, but it brings me lifelong sorrow!
Calming his mind, Chen Ge looked at Ouyang Qingqing curiously. This was simply Chen Hong at her peak.
Ouyang Qingqing was extremely beautiful, with a face like a silver basin, eyes like watery apricots, lips red without makeup, and eyebrows green without paint. The afternoon sun shone through the cracks in the window onto her fair face, seeming to cast a layer of sacred light on her.
Only the peony is the true national beauty, its bloom enchanting the capital. The phrase "overwhelmingly beautiful" seems tailor-made for her.
"Gudong!"
Chen Ge swallowed unconsciously, and his heart was instantly alert: How could this body have such no self-control...
The only flaw was that Ouyang Qingqing had two blackheads on her forehead, which were very eye-catching.
Everyone loves beauty. The more flawless a piece of jade is, the less likely one is to tolerate even the slightest flaw. This, I guess, is why Ouyang Qingqing lost her temper.
"Miss Qingqing, my name is Chen Ge, the young master of this [Medical Clinic]. I can cure your blackheads and acne, and the results will be visible in just one hour. Please don't embarrass the medical officer."
Chen Ge quickly opened the Xiangfei bamboo fan, walked to two steps in front of Ouyang Qingqing, and spoke slowly.
"Embarrassment? You mean I'm being unreasonable, and you're here to plead for him?"
"No, no. I just can't bear to see a flawless woman like Miss Qingqing have even the slightest imperfection."
"Hahaha!" Ouyang Qingqing smiled at Chen Ge, then suddenly changed her expression: "Bah, you slick-tongued scoundrel! Tie him up too!"
Chen Ge: ...You really are worthy of being called the Little Overlord!
"Has the girl had her period these days?"
Chen Ge took a step back, determined to shock people with his words.
The air seemed to be stagnant in an instant, and you could hear a pin drop in the huge [Medical Practice Hall].
Chen Pingping had a complicated expression: "My young master, you are truly awesome! You're so brave! You're always going there, knowing there's a tiger. Roses are beautiful, but they have thorns. Why did you have to tease the little bully when you can tease anyone else? Aren't you afraid of getting burned and ruining your life?"
