Remembrance Hibiscus GL

"Deep flower branches, shallow flower branches, when dark and shallow flower branches are combined; the flower branches are hard to caress. Jade is like muscle, willow is like eyebrows, love to see goose golden thread clothes; who is more beautiful?"

A handsome young man in Tsing-cloth came down the mountain with a medicine basket on his back, humming an out-of-tune tune while pushing away the vegetation and branches in front of him with a medicine hoe. Although he was slightly out of breath, his expression was extremely happy.As soon as he walked halfway up the mountain, his face showed surprise, and he suddenly stopped and listened carefully: "It's strange, I seem to hear someone calling, could it be calling me?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, and walking down for a while, the voice became more and more real, but it wasn't a woman calling loudly, calling "Mr. Li" over and over again.

The young man in Tsing Yi didn't stop, his feet were flying fast, and after a while, he saw a woman in coarse clothes holding on to a tree, struggling to climb up, he shouted: "Ah! Ganoderma lucidum, come here do what?"

Lingzhi looked up and saw him, and said happily, "Young Master Li, I found you!"

Li Mao walked to her side in three steps and two steps: "How do you know I'm here?"

Ganoderma lucidum wiped away the sweat with her hand, her dark face was flushed, "I went to find you in the pharmacy, and Ping An said that you went up the mountain to collect medicine for your father, so I came here."

"You are in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?" Li Mao looked at her, and then said with concern: "Are you tired after walking for a long time? Come! Let's take a rest under this tree first. "

Ganoderma lucidum said: "My father took your medicine last time, he got better for a while, but today it suddenly got worse, he can't even speak."

"Ah? Then I'll show him later." Li Mao said, took down the medicine basket, and put the medicine hoe under the old locust tree. As soon as he sat down, he found that the ganoderma lucidum had a big tear on his knee. The block, with bright red blood oozing from it, suddenly jumped up again: "Oh, you're hurt!"

There was a shyness in Ganoderma lucidum's eyes, and she lowered her head: "I accidentally fell down just now, it's just a small injury, it's fine."

"Quickly! Sit down for me!"

Li Mao couldn't help but pull her to sit down, tore a big gash at her knee, then turned around and searched in the medicine basket, found a few green grasses, put them in his mouth, chewed them for a while, and vomited. Put it in the palm, then half kneeled on the ground, and carefully applied it to the wound for her.

At this moment, the two were approaching, Lingzhi wanted to retreat a little bit, but her body was weak, and she couldn't move even a little bit, but she felt a cool feeling in her knees, and the pain disappeared a little bit, she didn't dare to look at him, her voice was soft Like a mosquito: "Mr. Li..."

"Why don't you call me brother Mao now?"

Li Mao raised his head with a smile, but saw her lowered her head, her face was red to the base of her neck and ears, and her body was trembling slightly. Come on? Looks like I'm not younger, I can't tease her anymore, or I'll be in trouble."

He didn't speak anymore, he applied her wounds, and the two sat for a while, then got up and went down the mountain.

Without talking all the way, when they reached the outskirts of the city, Li Mao followed Ganoderma lucidum to a dilapidated house, opened the wooden door and walked in.

A skinny old man was lying on the bed, and when he saw Li Mao, he spoke loudly, but he couldn't speak, but he kept pointing to the chair, beckoning Li Mao to sit down.

Li Mao walked to the bed with a smile on his face: "Uncle Zhang, I heard that you are feeling unwell again. Don't worry, I'll show you."

As he spoke, he sat down on the side, first motioned him to open his mouth and looked, then felt his pulse, turned his head and said to Ganoderma lucidum: "It's okay, it's blocked by phlegm, I'll make a prescription later, let people directly I'll bring you the medicine, just take a few doses and you'll be sure."

After speaking, he got up and was about to leave, Lingzhi hurriedly said: "Why don't you sit down for a while, I'm making tea over there, besides, you must be hungry since you went to gather herbs in the morning, even though we have nothing here Good treats, but even a bowl of noodles can fill your stomach."

"I'm not hungry, I brought dry food to eat, and I have to go back quickly to make medicine for my father."

Seeing that Ling Zhi said so, it was not easy to force him to stay, and sent him out of the door. He was full of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, he just wrung his hands and remained silent. In her hand: "Your foot is injured, don't go out to work these few days, take this money, buy yourself new clothes, and get some delicious food for the old man."

Ganoderma blushed in anxiety, and quickly pushed it away: "No, I can't take this, Mr. Li, you have a kind heart, and you have been helping us all these years, but my family is poor and I have no ability to repay you. My father and I are already very close." I am ashamed, how can I have the cheek to accept your money again?!"

"Why do you do this every time! I've done nothing to help you, it's nothing more than curing your minor illnesses and pains."

Lingzhi said: "No matter what, I absolutely cannot take this money!"

Li Mao looked at her simple but stubborn face, changed his mind, and said with a straight face: "I don't like people rejecting me again and again, don't forget it, at worst, I will never step into your house again!"

Seeing that he was angry and wanted to leave, Lingzhi was anxious: "Mr. Li, please don't leave!"

Li Mao turned his head and saw that she was looking at him with tears rolling in her eyes. He couldn't bear it, so he went up and put the silver ingot into her hands again. Ganoderma lucidum was afraid that she would get angry, so he looked at her timidly. Dare to push away again.

"Okay." Her expression softened, and she said softly, "I'm leaving, go in quickly, I'll come see you another day."

"Ah."

Li Mao waved his hand, turned around and left, Ling Zhi stood where he was, until her figure disappeared in the distance, and then reluctantly went in.

Back at Renxin Hall, Ping An hurriedly ran out from the counter: "Young master!" Hastily unloaded the back basket for her, took the medicine pick and put it aside, Li Mao patted his shoulders by himself, and said: "Today we are here I walked around the mountain for a long time, but I was so fucking exhausted!"

"Master, you are back, there is something important waiting for you!"

"Ah? What's the matter? How is my father?" Li Mao walked into the counter, grabbed a handful of medicine and sniffed it by his nose, "It smells so good!" Put it down, took a pen and paper, and began to write .

"Today, someone from the palace came to the house and passed on the emperor's oral order, saying that the master will recover after a while, and if he still needs recuperation, I will let you go to the imperial hospital to take over your post!"

"What?" Li Mao stopped writing in his hand and looked up at him.

Pingan frowned bitterly and said, "Master, logically speaking, this is a happy event, but the master is ill and is about to lose his job, so I dare not congratulate you."

Li Mao was stunned for a while, picked up the pen and wrote again, and put the note into Ping An's arms: "Your chance has come, Mr. Zhang is sick, this is the medicine I prescribed for him, you hurry up and take the medicine." Get it all and send it to Ganoderma lucidum."

Pingan was overjoyed: "Yes, I will send it to her right away!"

"Remember to bring something over there. If you don't have money, I'll give it to you. If you want to marry someone, be smart and give him something!"

Pingan nodded and bowed, and repeatedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Li Mao ignored him, went out from behind the pharmacy, walked through a small courtyard, entered the main entrance and called, "Father, I'm back!"

"Cough cough." Li Daozhong leaned on the pillow, coughed a few times in pain, and waved to him: "Maoer, come here."

Li Mao poured him a glass of water, then sat down obediently by the bed: "Father, do you feel better today?"

Li Daozhong took a sip of water from her hand and sighed: "Oh, what else could be good, your father is old and useless."

"I found a few medicines today, and I'll boil them for you tomorrow, to see if they improve."

"Mao'er, I have something to tell you." Li Daozhong held her hand with a very heavy expression: "Today, someone came from the palace..."

Li Mao didn't wait for him to finish, nodded and said: "Father, I understand, Ping An told me."

"Cough, cough cough..." Li Daozhong leaned back on the pillow, looking at him with regret and guilt in his eyes: "Maoer, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that this life will kill you."

Li Mao looked at him and suddenly felt very uncomfortable: "Father, don't say that."

"Our Li family is a family of imperial physicians, and medical skills have always been passed on from male to female, but in recent generations, the population is small. Your uncle died in the army. After he died, the two elder brothers in front of you did not support adults. Father doesn't want the medical skills passed down from generation to generation to be left unattended, and because he has a strong heart, so when you were born, he raised you as a boy and taught him all his medical skills. , with a great potential to emerge from the blue. Over the years, you have been obsessed with studying medical books and medicinal materials, and you are unwilling to even mention the important events in your life. Cough cough... I am old and weak now, and you are getting older. Thinking, this time, I can just take advantage of this illness to write a letter to retire, and then reveal your daughter's identity to the public, and then find you a good husband, and the things in this life will be over, who would think... .Who would have thought that the emperor would issue a decree so quickly to send you to the imperial hospital to take over your post? Father is panicking now and doesn't know what to do."

Seeing him talking, Li Mao's face was full of tears, and he couldn't help but feel sore: "Daddy, don't worry."

Li Daozhong said tremblingly: "Don't tell me not to worry. Now I can't advance or retreat. If you reveal the identity of your daughter again at this time, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will be killed immediately."

"Father, I'm willing to work in Tai Hospital, it's fine."

Li Daozhong was stunned: "What?"

Li Maodao: "Father, I love medical skills very much, and I take pleasure in helping the world and saving people. Although I prefer to practice medicine freely outside the Tai Hospital, I don't reject the Tai Hospital." After thinking for a while, he smiled again: "Actually, that's fine. Anyway, the love of children has never been what I want."

"You... what do you mean?"

"I don't think it's okay not to marry for the rest of my life. I don't have so many constraints as a man, and I feel much more comfortable."

Li Daozhong said in disbelief: "Maoer, why do you think so?"

"Really, I don't want to marry. Besides, the imperial decree has been issued, how dare we resist the decree?"

"Daddy was thinking, go and explain the situation to the emperor, beg him, or beg the imperial concubine..."

Li Mao rolled his eyes slyly, and said: "Father, how can you take back the emperor's golden words? What if his dragon face is furious? What if it is useless to beg the imperial concubine? Besides, those former colleagues of yours will What do you think of you?"

Li Daozhong was silent. After a long time, Fang Chang sighed: "Mao'er, have you decided?"

Li Mao said firmly: "Yes, Daddy, I have decided."

"You'll regret it later."

"Father, no, I won't regret what I decide."

"Well, there is no other way now. Whether you can escape in the future depends on your luck." Li Daozhong closed his eyes with a complicated expression, and then opened them: "Mao'er, I told you that when the emperor When the queen mother passed away, the emperor Longyan was furious and ordered to behead all the imperial doctors who had checked the empress dowager's pulse, right?

Li Mao nodded: "You told me that you were also one of the imperial physicians who had checked the empress dowager's pulse at that time. Because of this, your life was hanging by a thread. It was the imperial concubine who spoke for you that saved your life."

Li Daozhong's cloudy eyes moved: "Yes, the emperor had not been on the throne for a few years, and the imperial concubine's father was still a general, and the whole family of the Huo family was powerful, so the emperor listened to what the imperial concubine said. For a while, cough cough... the emperor later became suspicious of the Huo family, and lifted the general's military power. Although the imperial concubine is still an imperial concubine, the emperor treats her no differently, but once her natal family loses power, she is actually walking on eggshells in the palace ...Alas, the changes in the palace are sinister..."

Having said this, he suddenly changed the subject and his expression became serious: "Maoer, I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that the imperial concubine is my savior, no matter what her status in the palace is in the future, whether she is affected or not." Chong, if you enter the imperial hospital, you must do your best to be loyal to her like your father, do you understand?"
