Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

More than a month had passed since the warm reunion of Dong Jiafu's family, when an imperial edict from the capital broke their peaceful life.

The emperor issued an order to appoint Dong Jingtang as the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and asked him to take up his post in Beijing as soon as possible.

After sending off the person who announced the decree, the whole family did not have too high emotions on their faces.

Dong Jiabao was the first to speak, "Father and mother, I'm going back to my room first."

"Go." Dong Jingtang held the imperial edict in both hands.

Xu Yiwan looked at the bright yellow and said, "I didn't expect the imperial edict to come so quickly. Should we pack up and go to Beijing quickly?"

"Don't be too anxious. It's still enough to leave in five or six days."

After being promoted two levels in a row, he still went to the capital as an official. Anyone else would have taken up the post overnight carrying a bed roll, but Dong Jingtang did not want to let go of his days in Yangzhou.

Xu Yiwan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a hint of sadness: "We have never been to the capital, and we are not familiar with the place. Thinking about it makes people worried."

"Don't worry, it was the same when we went from Yangzhou to Yingzhou before. We will get used to it after a long time." Dong Jingtang comforted.

"How can it be the same? The capital is under the emperor's feet, and there are countless dignitaries. I am not good at socializing. If I am not good enough, I will offend any noble family and cause you trouble for no reason."

When he was in the camp, Dong Jingtang's official position was relatively high, and Xu Yiwan only had to be careful with the families of three or four officials. Moreover, she was on good terms with Mrs. Feng at that time, and many matters were discussed. She is really a little scared to ask her to go to the capital now.

Dong Jialin suddenly thought, "That's not true. Didn't Afu live in the capital for three years?"

"Yeah, how could I forget." Xu Yiwan took Dong Jiafu's hand, "

With Afu by my side, I feel much more at ease. "

Dong Jiafu felt mixed emotions. She had spent so much effort to stay away from the capital, and now she had to go back after going round and round.

She hid her worries and said with a smile, "I will stay with my mother. You don't have to worry too much."

Before leaving Yangzhou, Dong Jiafu remembered something, "Father and mother, I want to go to Linqing County to see the master before I leave."

Dong Jingtang nodded and said, "That's right. Let your second brother go with you tomorrow."

"Bring Xia Zhi with you so that I can take care of you on the way." Xu Yiwan warned.

"I will, mother." Dong Jiafu agreed.

Early the next morning, Dong Jialin prepared the carriage.

After the family has eaten together, send them out.

Xu Yiwan gave Dong Jialin many words, and in summary, she asked him to take good care of Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jialin kept nodding, and finally couldn't help but said: "Mom, it only takes three days for us to come back. We will be back soon, don't worry. If we don't leave, we won't be able to reach Linqing County before dark. ”

When Xu Yiwan heard this, she didn't care to say more, "Afu, get in the car quickly, go early and come back early."

"Father, mother, brother, let's go." Dong Jiafu held Xia Zhi's hand and got into the carriage.

After driving all day, they finally arrived in Linqing County when it was getting dark. They first found an inn to stay.

After a night's rest, Dong Jiafu took the two of them to the hospital together.

The apprentice was surprised to see her, "Miss Dong, you are back!"

Dong Jiafu smiled and nodded, "Are master and senior brother here?"

"I just arrived. I'm in the consulting room right now. You can just go there."

Dong Jiafu went over and knocked on the door of the consulting room.

"

Come in. "

After hearing the voice, Dong Jiafu pushed open the door and walked in, "Master, senior brother."

Tan Langzhong and Tan Hao were lowering their heads to prepare the things they needed to open the clinic today. They thought the people who came in were apprentices from the medical clinic, so they didn't pay much attention. Hearing her voice at this moment, the two of them immediately raised their heads and were stunned when they saw her sudden appearance.

"We haven't seen each other for more than a month. Master and senior brother won't forget me so quickly, right?" Dong Jiafu joked.

"Dong Yatou, why are you here?" Mr. Tan's joy was written on his face.

Tan Hao moved a stool to them, "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

"Thank you." Dong Jialin nodded in thanks and then he and Dong Jiafu came forward and sat down together.

Dr. Tan glanced at Dong Jialin, turned around and asked with concern: "Girl Dong, how are you doing when you return to Yangzhou?"

"I'm fine. My father, mother, and brothers take good care of me. Master doesn't need to worry about me."

"That's good," Mr. Tan subconsciously twirled his beard, "then why are you here this time?"

Dong Jiafu said bluntly: "I came here this time, firstly, to see my master and senior fellow apprentices, and secondly, to bid farewell to you."

"Farewell? Where is Miss Dong going?" Tan Hao asked.

"I'm going to live in the capital with my family, and I'm afraid I won't be back for a while."

"I see," Dr. Tan didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "It's a long journey, so you have to take care of yourself. You are smart and alert, and you have your family by your side. I have nothing to worry about. If there is anything wrong with your medical career in the future, If you don’t understand, you can write to me and ask me.”

"I understand, master, you should also take care of yourself."

"I'm still in good health, so you don't have to worry too much."

Dong Jiafu and Tan Lang

Zhong and Tan Hao talked for a while, but because they still had to treat patients, she didn't stay long.

When leaving the hospital, Dong Jialin took down the gifts prepared by Xu Yiwan and put them down for Dr. Tan.

"Afu, where are we going next?" Dong Jialin sat outside the carriage and asked back.

Dong Jiafu opened the curtain and said, "Go straight ahead and there is a bookstore. My second brother will stop there."

"Okay, sit tight." Dong Jialin drove the carriage forward.

When they arrived at the bookshop, the shopkeeper saw Dong Jiafu and hurriedly came to greet him, "I've been waiting for this girl..."

When he saw Dong Jialin coming in behind him, the shopkeeper paused and said expectantly: "Could this young master be your friend?"

Dong Jiafu shook his head, "No, this is my brother."

"I'm taking the liberty," the shopkeeper was slightly disappointed, and then asked, "Girl, when you come here this time, your friend has written a new version of the story?"

"Exactly." Dong Jiafu took out the storybook she had just written two days ago and gave it to him.

The shopkeeper took it over excitedly, "That's great. I'm finally looking forward to the new work coming from the future customers."

He casually flipped through two pages before turning back to the counter and taking out the silver, "The last storybook sold very well. As I said before, I will give you a high price this time. This is fifty taels of silver. I don't know the price, girl." Are you satisfied?"

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Dong Jiafu put away the money, "I have something to tell you in advance. My friend is going to live somewhere else, and he will not be able to sell it to you in the future."

The shopkeeper immediately panicked when he heard this, "Girl, do you think I'm giving you less money? We can discuss the price again. As long as there is a story behind it, everything will be easy to negotiate."

"The shopkeeper misunderstood, it's not about the price.

The problem is, indeed, that my friend is leaving here. "Dong Jiafu said seriously.

Confirming that what she said was true, the shopkeeper said regretfully: "What a pity. The name of the future guest has just been announced. There are already many people waiting for his new work, but he has to leave."
