"The boss is here!" The New Year is coming soon, and Wang Lin no longer wanders around the branch halls in other provinces, but returns to the capital to guard. A country boy, from a small clerk in a medicine shop to his current status, sometimes when he calms down and thinks about it, even he himself can't believe it. And all these unbelievable and impossible things have become reality here with Feng Yuheng, allowing him to transform himself into a well-known figure in the entire capital in just over two years. But no matter how important he is in front of outsiders, he would rather be the little clerk he used to be in front of Feng Yuheng, and treat his benefactor with the most humble attitude. "Boss, come in and sit down." As he said, he also glanced at the child in Wangchuan's arms, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Is this... the young master of the Feng family?"
Feng Yuheng nodded and said as she walked: "From now on, this child is no longer from the Feng family. I have no place to send him. You can arrange a room for him in Baicao Hall and hire a wet nurse and maids to serve him. As for what to call him... I haven't thought about it. Just surname him Han, and you can call him by any name you like." She didn't have much affection for the child, but she wouldn't let the little guy suffer too much grievance. Although she couldn't let him live like a real young master, she could at least train him to be a decent person who lived by his own hands, feet and abilities, and completely get rid of the bad influence brought by his disappointing parents.
As an important business operator of Feng Yuheng, Wang Lin knew something about the Feng family's affairs. He also personally visited the child and examined him. So he immediately understood Feng Yuheng's intentions. He said nothing, but only ordered someone to take the child over, and then asked someone to immediately invite the wet nurse and the maids. Then he took Feng Yuheng into the "office" specially reserved for her.
After Feng Yuheng sat down, Wang Lin began to report to Feng Yuheng about the progress of Baicaotang. Not including the main hall in the capital, Baicaotang has opened twelve branches in Dashun, three in the east, west, south and north, all of which are centered in the capital and gradually expand in all directions. After the new year, they plan to open another branch in the three provinces in the north as a test. If successful, they will also set up branches in other borders.
Feng Yuheng listened carefully, but did not express too many opinions. She only gave some guiding opinions on the planning of Baicaotang at the beginning, but Wang Lin's ability to accept, understand and execute was excellent. Basically, after she said it once, Wang Lin could expand many ideas and do things better. Therefore, Feng Yuheng was very relieved about the development of Baicaotang. And she came here today, in addition to sending this child, but she also had another purpose.
"The palace has been a bit unstable lately, so I plan to place someone in the Imperial Medical Service." She told Wang Lin her intention directly and asked him to recommend someone.
Wang Lin thought for a long time, but said with some embarrassment: "To place someone in the Imperial Hospital, first of all, this person's medical skills must be good enough, at least not worse than the existing staff in the Imperial Hospital. In addition, this person must be absolutely loyal to us, which is as important as medical skills. This..." He scratched his head, "Boss, if you want to talk about absolutely loyal people, I can definitely recommend one or two, but when it comes to medical skills, after all, my medical skills are shallow and I only know a little about pharmacology, so there is really no way to compare with the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. As for the most suitable people to choose, it would be best to let Mr. Yao choose one or two when he is here, but after all, he is not here now. In my opinion, why don't we let Song Kang choose!"
As Feng Yuheng's apprentice, Song Kang would stay in Beijing most of the time. Many talents who surpassed the current medical technology were trained by Song Kang. Feng Yuheng and Yao Xian were not stingy with Song Kang and taught him many skills. Wang Lin proposed that Song Kang should be selected, and Feng Yuheng had no objection, so he nodded and asked him to call Song Kang in.
Song Kang was in Baicaotang and soon entered the room. He brought someone with him, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He looked very steady. He followed Song Kang with a medicine box in his hand. He had an honest face and gave a very good first impression.
When Song Kang saw Feng Yuheng, it was no different from seeing his mother. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed without saying a word, calling her "Master" all the time, and was almost about to hug her and cry. The person who came in behind him was a little surprised and embarrassed, but he also knew Feng Yuheng's identity and bowed honestly.
Feng Yuheng nodded at him, and then helped Song Kang up with her own hands. After a long period of persuasion, Song Kang finally calmed down. She had been back to Beijing for half a year, and Song Kang had followed Wang Lin to other provinces before. He had only been back for less than two months, so it had been a long time since he last saw Feng Yuheng. The two talked for a while, and Feng Yuheng repeated her intention and told him: "I want someone with good medical skills and good character to send to the Imperial Hospital."
Song Kang thought about it, and then pushed the man behind him forward, "Master, do you think he can do it? His name is Sun Qi, and he is my disciple." After saying that, he pulled Sun Qi and said, "Hurry up and kowtow to the master."
Sun Qi was also obedient, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Feng Yuheng, "Sun Qi kowtows to the Grandmaster."
The identity of Song Kang's apprentice surprised Feng Yuheng, and the title of Grandmaster made her feel uncomfortable. She forced a smile, asked Sun Qi to stand up, and asked a question casually. She found that Sun Qi did have his own unique insights in medical skills. Although those insights seemed a bit childish to her, a soul in the later generations, it was a big improvement for people today to understand surgery by their own ability. When she sent someone to the palace, she also hoped to send someone who had some contact and understanding in surgery, rather than just studying Chinese medicine like the original imperial physician.
Of course, words are not enough, Feng Yuheng immediately took a few people to the operating room. There happened to be an operation waiting for Song Kang to do. Sun Qi was Song Kang's first assistant. Feng Yuheng followed him in and watched half of the operation. She was very satisfied with Sun Qi's medical skills. So, the candidate to enter the palace was decided, and she told him to arrange for him to enter the palace in five days. Then she left the operating room.
He returned to his room, and Wang Lin followed him. Feng Yuheng had not asked Song Kang and Sun Qi much before, but now he asked Wang Lin: "How much do you know about Sun Qi?"
Wang Lin was stunned. "The boss is worried about him? Song Kang's apprentice should be fine, right? I have had a lot of contact with Sun Qi, and I think he is a decent person. He is honest and hardworking, and his skills are really good."
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly, "You can't judge a person by their appearance. I believe in Song Kang, but Song Kang has a problem. He is a medical geek. To him, people with good medical skills are all good people. Or, he only looks at people's medical skills. As for other things, as long as they are not extremely evil, he doesn't care and can't tell. So I have to ask you. The person who is to be sent to the palace must not be careless. Do you know how Sun Qi and Song Kang knew each other? How did he become Song Kang's apprentice?"
Wang Lin knew the truth, so he told Feng Yuheng: "Sun Qi was originally an itinerant doctor from the northwest, and his medical skills were very advanced. Song Kang once saw him treating a homeless man on the street, and was impressed by his medical skills, so he asked Sun Qi if he was willing to follow him to Baicaotang. Speaking of which, Sun Qi didn't want to come at first. He just wanted to be a traveling doctor, treating patients wherever he went. He didn't want to settle down in one place, especially in a place like the capital. He didn't like it. But Song Kang dragged him to Baicaotang to take a look around and watch an operation. After that, Sun Qi followed Song Kang wholeheartedly and even worshipped him as his master."
Listening to Wang Lin's story about Sun Qi's origins, there was nothing special about him. He sounded like a medical geek. Although he was not as obsessed as Song Kang, he was still not as obsessed as ordinary doctors. Of course, this was also the most uncomfortable part of her heart. If he was a medical geek, how could he be so calm and agree to her appointment to the Imperial Hospital without resistance when he didn't even want to stay at Baicaotang at first?
Seeing Feng Yuheng frowning and not speaking, Wang Lin said again: "If the boss is worried, why not let Song Kang go? He is the most suitable person."
Feng Yuheng shook his head repeatedly, "No, once I get to the Imperial Hospital, I'll be tied up and it will be hard for me to take care of this side. We don't have enough people anyway, and we still need to develop outside, and we can't do without Song Kang. How about this, you pick another reliable apprentice to follow you into the palace. With two people in the palace, there will be someone to supervise you."
Wang Lin nodded, "That's no problem." After thinking for a while, he said, "Let Xu Mao go. He is a distant relative of mine from my hometown. He has worked at Baicaotang for more than a year. He is absolutely reliable."
"You can make the decision on this." Feng Yuheng was relieved about Wang Lin. After all, Wang Lin was not like Song Kang, who was a medical geek. He was a businessman and had more insights and could judge people more accurately. If he said he was reliable, then he was absolutely reliable. Otherwise, she would not have been so relieved to hand over Baicaotang to him in the past two years.
After arranging things here, she didn't stay any longer. She stood up and took Wangchuan Huangquan back home. At the same time, she was calculating in her mind that Xuan Tianming should be back in a few days, right?
She was calculating on the streets of the capital, and in the palace, Emperor Tianwu was also sitting in the main hall of the Qiankun Hall and calculating with his fingers. While calculating, he was mumbling something in his mouth, like chanting a sutra, which gave Zhang Yuan a headache.
"Are you going to set up a stall to tell fortunes?" Zhang Yuan looked at Tianwu's seriousness and couldn't help but persuade him, "What is this? Can it be accurate? If it's not accurate, let the people from the Imperial Observatory do it. This art has its specialties, and we can't expect to show off our skills in everything."
Tianwu was so angry that he drove him away: "Go away, go away, go away, I calculated how many days it would take for Lao Jiu to return to the capital, so what, the Imperial Observatory still cares about this?"
"Then what does it matter if they manage to do something? It's up to you to decide. Whatever you decide to do is up to you!"
The old emperor slammed the table - "If you don't understand anything, don't get involved! The Imperial Observatory is a place for astrology, and the officials there are astrologers, not fortune tellers! I have to do this myself."
"Well, you'd better say you're a fortune teller." Zhang Yuan was powerless to persuade him anymore, so he found a step in the hall and prepared to sit down. Before he even got a seat, Tianwu suddenly said, "Go and arrange some people, and follow my orders tonight to set fire to Yuehan Palace!"
The young eunuch was so frightened that his legs trembled, and instead of sitting down, his feet slipped and he rolled down the steps of the hall.
