Inside the pavilion of Qingzhuyuan
When several doctors learned he was leaving, they came over to say goodbye: "Doctor Yang, you're leaving tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even seen Qiandeng Town's most famous lantern festival yet."
Jiang Sheng smiled upon hearing this and said softly, "We've been delayed here for half a month. It's time to leave."
"I want to watch the Lantern Festival, but it's still half a month away. Waiting half a month is too long. I'd better leave early."
Bai He sighed, "Although Doctor Yang is young, his insights into medicine are very impressive. I was hoping to discuss this with you a little more, but I didn't expect you to leave."
"Alas, after this farewell, I don't know when we'll see each other again. Where does Doctor Yang live? Maybe we'll meet again in the future."
Jiang Sheng's eyes flickered, and he said frankly, "Beihuang City is where my hometown is. I came out to travel. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
"It's better to walk the path of medicine on your own."
"If you are all free today at noon, why don't we go to the restaurant to say goodbye? I will leave early tomorrow morning."
Everyone nodded quickly, without any objection. This plague was solved thanks to the person in front of them, otherwise, if it had broken out, they and their families would have been in danger.
Seeing that they agreed, Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded, looking at Yang Er: "Go pack your luggage, I'll treat you all to lunch at the restaurant, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Yang Er said respectfully, "Yes, sir."
Everyone sat down and talked, and soon they talked about medicine again. They began to discuss a disease. When the discussion became heated, the two old men started arguing again.
You and I argued with each other, and neither of us wanted to give in.
“……!!”
"Ahem, Elder Bai, Elder Yan, please allow me to speak a few words. If we continue to argue about this disease, why not just go directly to the patient and see who can cure it the shortest time and get the cheapest medicine?"
"It's better to convince people with facts than to waste time arguing endlessly. What do you think?"
The two old men looked at each other and nodded in agreement: "Young Brother Yang is right, it is us two old guys who are ignorant. Let's compete like this from now on."
"Hmph, I don't have to argue with you every day. My head hurts. I'd rather go find someone to treat my illness instead of wasting my time."
"Nonsense, it's because you keep making noise, otherwise I wouldn't bother with you."
Yang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Two old men in their fifties were really quarreling like children. It was really funny.
As we chatted, several books appeared on the table.
Yan Keji pushed him aside and said awkwardly with a straight face, "Young Master Yang, I know you are an excellent doctor. I wonder if I could discuss the case with you. There are quite a few records here."
"I am old now, and I can't travel around. I tend to get stuck in some ruts when it comes to treating some illnesses. I hope Young Master Yang can give me some pointers."
Jiang Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, his expression calm: "Of course, then everyone sit down and go through it one by one, and see who has the simplest method and the cheapest medicine."
"After all, when ordinary people are sick, they are often afraid to seek medical treatment, fearing that it will cost too much money. If an illness can be cured, it will cost less money."
"That's what's truly good for the people. What do you think?"
Several people complimented him, "Yes, Doctor Yang is righteous."
The pavilion soon became lively again as people began to discuss the cases recorded in the book. Servants kept bringing tea and watched them talk animatedly.
Bai He took out a pen and paper and wrote them down. These were all valuable ideas, so he would just record them and try them next time.
When the atmosphere was getting lively, Shuisheng came trotting over and said respectfully, "Doctor Yang, Lord Lin is here to visit."
"Who is it, Lord Lin is here?"
"yes."
Jiang Sheng nodded and said softly, "Let's go, I'll go pick up Master Lin myself. You all continue your discussion. I'll be back soon."
Bai He stood up, stroked his beard and said cheerfully: "Since you are here, why don't we go and take a look together? I think you know that Doctor Yang is leaving, so come and take a look."
"That's right, let's go take a look and talk to the adults. We should leave the village in a couple of days."
"I have some things to do at home. Now that the epidemic situation has settled down, I really need to go home to visit. I haven't been back for a month, and I don't know how my family is doing."
Before Lin Chenghe even entered the yard, he saw those familiar figures and called out, "Doctor Yang, Elder Bai, Elder Yan, why are you all here too?"
"Haha, Lord Lin is here too. I heard that Doctor Yang was about to leave, so I thought of coming over to see him."
"I see. I have something to discuss with Doctor Yang. I wonder if I could go to the study. After we're done, I'll invite you all to Qianweiju for dinner and drinks."
"You have all worked hard during this period. I will certainly not treat you unfairly. The reward will be delivered to you tomorrow."
After some pleasantries, both sides watched the two men walk away.
In the study
Lin Chenghe closed the door and said politely, "Doctor Yang, please take a seat. I wonder if you have ever heard of the poison called Nightmare?"
Jiang Sheng raised an eyebrow and hummed, "I've heard that this poison is very vicious. Although the poisoned person can live for a month, they will suffer in agony every day."
"The most sinister thing about this poison is that the prescription is common, but the medicine is extremely difficult to find. It gives people hope but cannot cure the poison. You have to watch people being tortured to death."
Seeing his eyes were red, Jiang Sheng asked in confusion: "Why do you ask about this poison, sir? Is there someone around you who has been poisoned?"
Lin Chenghe nodded, his voice a little hoarse. "Yes...my dear mother, she was dissatisfied with what Doctor Yang said, saying that I was Censor Lin's illegitimate son and my mother was a concubine. She just arrived in town yesterday."
"Today I learned that my mother was poisoned by the nightmare. The court doctor said we must go to Tianhan Mountain to find snow lotus, and we need fresh snow lotus. I need a doctor to accompany us."
At this point, Jiang Sheng already understood.
He said calmly, "Your Excellency means to go down, but we don't know where the Snow Lotus of Tianhan Mountain is. Your Madam is afraid that she doesn't have much time left. Even if she can find it, she may not be able to make it in time."
"If I go, it will take at least ten days. Please forgive me..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Chenghe hurriedly said, "Doctor Yang, please wait a moment. As long as you are willing to accompany me to Tianhan Mountain, no matter whether we can find the snow lotus in the end, I will owe you my life."
"If you need me in the future, as long as you ask, I will definitely not refuse. I hope Doctor Yang will agree."
Jiang Sheng looked at him silently. This man was undoubtedly a good official. It would be great if he could be won over to Beihuang. Censor Lin's illegitimate son was able to come here, and he was probably abandoned by his family.
He is easy to control when he is isolated and helpless, and he is kind-hearted and can do great things. If it weren't for him, it would probably not be so easy to find a cure for this plague.
After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Is what you said true? If I ask you to be loyal to Beihuang, will you agree?"
Lin Chenghe was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
He said firmly, "Doctor Yang is from the Northern Wilderness. Now I understand. No wonder he has such ability. If the people from the imperial court had fled long ago, why would they stay to study the plague?"
