Chapter 444 Don’t Miss My Wife
Xu Qingye said calmly, "Just take some clothes, books, and writing brushes, inkstones, and paper. If you don't have anything else, you can pack it the day before you leave."
Song Yuntang glanced in his direction.
"I heard that the capital is colder than here. If you bring too many things with you, it will take seven or eight days to get there, which is not convenient. I will prepare some more silver for you. When you get there, I will ask Guiping to buy more coal. You need to take good care of yourself."
Xu Qingye wiped her hair patiently with a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and try to spend more time with you in the future."
Song Yuntang smiled.
"You said that no matter what the future holds, you must take good care of your body."
The man nodded obediently.
"good."
Song Yuntang touched his head.
"It's almost done. Go to bed and don't catch a cold."
That night, husband and wife were one, living in harmony.
…
Soon it was the day for Xu Qingye to leave.
Song Yuntang watched Guiping and Xia Ning load his things into the carriage, and then hugged him with a look of reluctance.
"Take good care of yourself and write a letter home when you get there."
The man was also reluctant and gently stroked her head.
"good."
Song Yuntang leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Xu Qingye, I will miss you."
The man was stunned. He looked down at his wife who was right in front of him. Feeling her attachment to him, his throat moved.
People say that the land of gentleness is the home of heroes.
I didn’t understand it before.
At this moment, he just felt that he could not move.
"If Tang'er continues like this, I won't be able to bear to leave."
Song Yuntang forced a smile and pushed him away towards the carriage.
"Go quickly, don't keep Mr. Tang waiting for too long. Remember to write home when you get to the capital. If you don't come back by May next year, I will go to the capital to look for you."
Xu Qingye held Song Yuntang's hand tightly, looked at her deeply, then turned and got on the carriage.
Watching the carriage disappear at the street corner, Song Yuntang took a deep breath, went back to the courtyard to calm down, and then went to the clinic.
…
Half a month later, an imperial envoy and a guard came to Anyang County with Xu Qingye's letter and the imperial edict.
"Everyone at Xinglin Clinic, please accept my order!"
Everyone in Xinglin Clinic knelt down.
The imperial envoy unfolded the imperial edict in his hand.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, summoned you: This locust plague has affected a wide area. The Xinglin Medical Clinic in Anyang County first proposed a method to prevent and control locusts to the government, which brought the disaster under control. Later, it donated 20,000 shi of grain to relieve Anyang County's urgent needs. The doctors are kind-hearted, and I am very pleased!"
"I hereby grant you a plaque with the words 'Xinglin Medical Clinic' written on it, a thousand taels of gold, and confer the title of county master to Song Yuntang, a doctor at Xinglin Medical Clinic, with the title of Le'an, and enjoy the imperial salary. I decree this!"
Everyone in the clinic bowed.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Song Yuntang stood up and took the imperial edict from the imperial envoy.
"Thank you, sir."
Gu Lansheng nodded slightly, "Princess Le'an, you are welcome. This is my duty. I will work with Prince Heng to deal with the disaster. If there is any situation, I hope you can lend a helping hand to the victims when they need it."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Xinglin Medical Clinic is duty-bound to do so."
Gu Lansheng said goodbye and turned to leave.
After he left, the guard who came with him stepped forward, clasped his fists towards Song Yuntang, and handed a letter to Song Yuntang.
"My name is Wang Yan. I am a member of Prince Xuanlang's army. I came to Anyang County this time to accompany Lord Gu Lansheng of the Pacification Department to Yingshan City to assist Prince Heng in dealing with the disaster. This is the letter that Master Xu asked me to bring to the county lady. If the county lady needs me in the future, she can send someone to the Yingshan City Embassy to look for me."
"Thank you." Song Yuntang held the letter in his hand, "I wonder if this elder brother can tell me who King Xuanlang is?"
Since Xu Qingye could ask King Xuanlang's people to bring her a letter, and this person's words seemed to indicate that he wanted to protect her, perhaps Xu Qingye was worried that she would be targeted by Li Chixiao's helpers.
She should at least know where this helper came from.
Wang Yan said, "Prince Xuanlang is the uncle of the current emperor and the only prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. He converted to Buddhism thirty years ago and his Buddhist name is Liaowu."
Song Yuntang understood.
It turns out that King Xuanlang is the title given to Master Liaowu.
"I wonder if the appointment of the county lady this time is related to Prince Xuanlang?"
Wang Yan shook his head. "Whether it is related or not, I don't know. I only know that on the day when Master Xu went to the palace to look for my master, my master went to the palace. When he came back, he asked me to pack my luggage and follow Master Gu to Anyang County."
Song Yuntang nodded, nodded slightly at him, and took a purse from Nian'er and stuffed it into his hand.
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for clearing up my doubts. This is to treat you to a drink. The money is not much, so please keep it."
Wang Yan glanced at the silver in his hand and did not refuse. He clasped his fists towards her and said, "Since the letter has been delivered, I will take my leave."
Song Yuntang sent him out of the clinic.
"Brother Wang, take care." Seeing him leave, she turned back to the clinic and said, "Aunt Wu, ask someone to go to the market and buy thirty kilograms of meat. Let's celebrate in the backyard today."
Mrs. Wu nodded quickly, took the silver from Nian'er, and called two apprentices to accompany her to the market.
The world is in chaos nowadays, so it is safer to have someone follow you to avoid having your things stolen on the road.
Song Yuntang looked at everyone in the clinic again.
"Everyone will be given three times more monthly wages this month. I plan to use the reward from the court to build a Le'an Medical School. Students who can enter the school must be under 20 years old. The Le'an Medical School will be jointly managed by Doctors Zhou and Sun. Do you have any objections?"
Sun Ji and Zhou Hongfu said quickly, "Of course we have no objection."
In this way, the reputation of Xinglin Medical Clinic will only grow. If the doctors who graduated from Le'an Medical School spread throughout Daxia in the future, the status of Xinglin Medical Clinic will no longer be shaken.
Song Yuntang nodded, "Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhou have been with me for almost a year."
As she spoke, she looked at Nian'er and said, "Nian'er, starting from next month, the monthly salary of the two doctors will increase by another 800 wen."
Nian'er nodded quickly.
"yes."
Song Yuntang gave a few more instructions to everyone, then went to the backyard with the letter in his hand.
When I looked at the four familiar words "Personally written by my wife" on the envelope, my heart seemed to be wrapped in something, and a warmth rose in my heart.
She opened the letter, took the paper out of the envelope and unfolded it.
"Tang Er
Seeing you in person
I have arrived in Beijing safely. Everything is fine as I have just arrived here. Don't worry, my wife.
Today, I have requested that Prince Xuanlang enter the palace to request the title of County Princess for you, and I have also proposed sending another imperial envoy to Yingshan City to assist with disaster relief and stabilize the situation. I hope this move can temporarily protect your safety.
I think of you all the time.
Husband, respectfully submitted by Xu Qingye. ”
Looking at the letter, Song Yuntang's eyes turned red with joy.
I think of you all the time.
As far as she could remember, this was probably the only love words Xu Qingye had ever said to her. Although it was implicit, she could feel his feelings from it.
Xu Qingye was away for a full half month.
In the past half month, she was busy in the clinic every day to numb her longing for him.
Occasionally when I have free time, I paint a portrait.
But when I saw this letter, the longing that I had suppressed these days seemed to burst through the dam and rushed towards her madly.
This is the first time in my life that I miss someone so much.
