I pretend to be a fairy in ancient times

The Tai Hospital often has all shifts. According to the usual practice, family members can go to deliver a change of clothes after nightfall.

When Huang Qi went to deliver a change of clothes two days ago, she found nothing unusual, and Mrs. Zhou didn't pay much attention to the fact that Uncle Xia didn't come home for two days.

Today, Huang Qi yelled that the Tai Hospital was surrounded by Habayashi Guards, Xia's family couldn't sleep, and they were all called out by him.

It wasn't until this time that Zhao Ji remembered that imperial physicians and imperial physicians in ancient times were simply high-risk professions.

In many film and television dramas, because the emperor's beloved woman (mother, children, ministers) was not cured, the emperor ordered the entire imperial hospital to be buried with him.

Although the Tai Hospital serves the royal family and a few princes and nobles, it is a high-level official institution after all, and naturally has a responsibility process. Of course, it cannot be as dangerous as the romance in the film and television drama.

At least in the past 30 years, the emperors of these two dynasties have not yet been buried with imperial doctors and doctors from the imperial hospital. What's more, Uncle Xia Biao is an official, usually working behind the doctors. It's not his turn to stand up.

It is a serious danger to be angered if the disease cannot be cured.In court struggles, man-made tampering with medicines is another danger, and the requirement to stand in line is another hidden danger.

But risks and benefits coexist, too hospital is a good place, no matter how many people want to get in, they can't get in.Salary is a trivial matter, mainly because after helping noble people to see a doctor, they will often get extra rewards.

Although Xia's house is crowded, they can have their own yard in the capital, and the whole family can live together, for their two sons to study in the largest Taiqi Academy in the capital, and to prepare a full dowry for their aging daughter. Four servants.This is already an enviable existence among low-level Beijing officials.

How many small officials in the Qingshui Yamen, if they are not rich enough, can only choose to rent a house, or even share it with others.Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible to bring family members to Beijing. How many couples live apart all the year round, and how many children do not see their father all the year round, it is a tragedy in the world.

Among these people, those from the Hanlin Academy are the most famous. Their poverty is regarded as a noble quality, and they are called Qingliu.

Of course, the top three in the Hanlin Academy Examination have a higher official position, so it is not too sad.

The most embarrassing thing is the Jinshi who are selected by the second-class officials to enter the Imperial Academy. They are usually in the same position as Uncle Xia, and they are low-level officials of the eighth or ninth rank.However, as a Qingliu literati, he still has to maintain his dignity and participate in leisure activities such as poetry and literature clubs, so his life is very tight.

Judging from this situation, no matter what era, Jingpiao is a very difficult group of people.

Uncle Xia's ability to make money, and the difficult living conditions of the officials, when chatting with Mrs. Xia in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhou had already made jokes about it, and there was a lot of showing off in it.

At that time, Mrs. Zhou vowed that as long as she behaved carefully, Tai Hospital was not as dangerous as ordinary people thought, and she could still make money.

Although Mrs. Zhou explained the reason why it was difficult for the small officials to survive, she also wanted to prepare Zhao Ji and the others in advance, and don't think that the guest rooms are not enough.

Unexpectedly, just in the afternoon, he said that the Tai Hospital would not be in danger, and in the evening, Huang Qi said that the Tai Hospital was surrounded by Habayashi Guards.

At this time, Mrs. Xia could only use Mrs. Zhou's words in the afternoon to comfort her, "Hongkai is only an eighth-rank official in the imperial hospital. Even if the sky falls, there will be a judgment from the higher court. get him."

After Mrs. Zhou calmed down, she ordered Huang Qi to guard outside the imperial hospital, and asked the old housekeeper to go to the homes of several officials whose lives had been saved by Uncle Xia, and then sent the two children who were studying and Xia Lian'er to sleep. .

Only then did he find time to greet Zhao Ji and his guests, "Aunt, sister-in-law, nephew Zhao Ji, you all rushed all the way to the capital, you're exhausted, you'd better go to sleep."

Zhao Ji stood up and said, "Auntie, let grandma and mother go to bed first. I am used to going to bed late, but now that my family is in trouble, I am a grown-up man anyway, so I should help out."

Lady Zhou looked at Zhao Ji, and saw that he was not very old, but he had a trustworthy calm demeanor.

She thought about it, in addition to the housekeeper and Huang Qi's two male servants, the Xia family only had one cook, Liu Ma, and one maid, Cui Zhu.If there is anything, if you need to go out at night, Zhao Ji is indeed more suitable.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's expression, Mrs. Xia knew that she agreed with Zhao Ji's proposal, but she didn't dare to agree casually because of face.She came forward and said, "Bao'er is a young man with good energy, let him go to the porter to guard, if there is anything that needs help, just ask him to do it."

To Zhao Ji, the concierge is no different from the guest room, it's just a place to read novels, the summer night is very cool, reading novels, time passes quickly.

Two hours later, the butler came back.Zhao Ji opened the door for him and saw that he had a bad expression on his face, but the housekeeper was not as edgy as Huang Qi, making a big noise that woke up the whole family.He quietly asked Zhao Ji, "Master Biao, is Madam asleep yet?"

How could Mrs. Zhou fall asleep and wait in the living room, and when she heard the door opening, she came out holding the oil lamp, and asked anxiously, "Old Zheng, have you found out what's going on outside?"

The steward said, "I used my lord's name card to meet Mr. Li from the Imperial Academy. He said that the emperor has been ill recently and has not been in court for three consecutive days. He just blocked the news from the outside world."

Li Zhongjing, editor and editor of the Imperial Academy, is an official of the fifth rank, not a low-ranking official.But because he likes to drink and is generous and open-minded, he has become a Qingliu who often needs to borrow money to survive.

Uncle Xia got acquainted with him by chance, and felt that Mr. Li was a kind-hearted person, so he used free medical treatment to lay a deep emotional foundation with him.

If it was someone else, even if they knew the news that the emperor was seriously ill, they would not be able to disclose it to the Xia family.

Knowing the reason for the siege of the Imperial Hospital, Mrs. Zhou knew that it would be useless to wait any longer, so she said to Zhao Ji, "Go to sleep too."

Lady Zhou was actually relieved to hear the news that the emperor was seriously ill.Xia Hong opened a small official eye and had no contact with the emperor at all. Even if there was a mishap, he would not be held accountable.

What she was most afraid of was something wrong with Xia Hongkai's team, but now she felt relieved, the worst outcome would be Xia Hongkai's dismissal.But he has medical skills, and his family still has savings. The big deal is to find a place to open a pharmacy like before he became a medical officer.

Zhao Ji went to sleep as he said, and lying on the bed, he suddenly remembered that the carriage of the National Teacher hurried back to Jian'an City yesterday.It must be because of the news that the emperor was seriously ill.

I heard that the emperor was still a 12-year-old child, what kind of disease did he have, maybe he also had a fever.

Not so much.

The standard of the Tai Hospital cannot be poor, even if it is burnt to pneumonia or meningitis, it will not be helpless, what is the disease?

Zhao Ji had an occupational disease unknowingly, and was thinking again, and gradually fell asleep.
