keep this doctor

It turned out that Shen Ji stayed alone in the Yong'an Inn. At the beginning, he was patient for a day or two and only dared to wander around the surrounding streets. After getting familiar with him, he became more courageous and didn't want to bother the manager of the inn, the shopkeeper Wang - he just borrowed money from him. It was embarrassing for the third brother and the others to live alone. The shopkeeper was so enthusiastic about arranging a room for himself, so why bother others?

Wu You sent him over at that time, and only told him to wait and see him when he was free, but he disappeared for several days after he left.After Shen Ji got acquainted with him, he originally wanted to go to the General's Mansion to see the injured Li Yi—after all, he was his benefactor.

But when he was standing in front of the heavily guarded gate of the General's Mansion, a servant-like man at the porter saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, so he looked down upon him at first. The servant raised his chin and asked Shen Ji: "Hey, what are you doing? But the General’s Mansion, don’t wander around the door if you have nothing to do!”

"Hello, little brother, I want to meet Prince Duan, I wonder if it's convenient now?" Shen Ji thought too simply, and answered honestly.

The servant glanced contemptuously at Shen Ji and said with a sneer: "Oh, what a big face, you can be seen by anyone when you are a prince? I tell you that there are many people like you who seek relationships and fight the autumn wind. The prince has ordered , Not a single one! Let’s go, let’s go!” He started to use his hands while talking, pushing Shen Ji from the steps to the middle of the road.

Shen Ji guarded his arms in embarrassment, endured the pointing pedestrians around him, and left quickly in desperation.

——Oh, yes, Lord Qi is a prince after all, it will be difficult to see him in the future...

He wandered aimlessly in the street in frustration, and slowly noticed in front of him an old man with gray hair, hunched body and walking very slowly. Most importantly, this old man had only one arm on the left and a sleeve on the right. It is actually empty, floating in the north wind, it looks very sad.

Shen Ji followed behind him involuntarily, he didn't know what he wanted to do, maybe he wanted to step forward to give him a hand... Who knew that after following two streets, the old man suddenly stood still, turned around, and his eyes were sharp and compelling of.

"Young man, you followed my old man from West Second Street all the way to East First Street, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Uh, no, I didn't want to do anything... Well, old man, your legs are not flexible, and it's better to use crutches when you go out." He had already seen that the old man's right leg was deformed, and he walked awkwardly. Powerful, shaking.

"However, old man is amazing. There are so many people on the street, how do you know that I'm following you?" Shen Ji paused, and added admiringly.

The old man squinted his eyes and replied with a smug smile, "Hey, your movements are so loud and so obvious, if I Zhang Nian can't even find this, how can I come back from the battlefield alive!"

battlefield?Could it be the Zhenbei Army?

Shen Ji immediately became more enthusiastic, and he didn't shy away from it at this time. He stepped forward to help support the old man's arm, and said, "Where does the old man want to go? I'll see you off. I'm fine anyway."

Zhang Nian smiled with emotion, "Hey, it's rare to meet a warm-hearted young man like you. I despise my old man for being sick and a drag. What's wrong with your arm?"

"Uncle Zhang was joking. Everyone will grow old. You only need to take care of your body at all times. You can see more people and things after a long life. My arm is broken, and it hasn't healed yet."

"..."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and finally Zhang Nian took Shen Ji to Renjitang. It turned out that the old man was a soldier who had retired from the Zhenbei Army. Because he lost his right arm, he could only find a frail and sick divorced widow when they got married. He has no children, and his wife has passed away for many years. Now he lives with his sister-in-law's family, dependent on others, old and sick, and his savings are dwindling. One can imagine the hardships.

During the rainy and snowy weather in winter, the rheumatism on his legs recurred, and the pain was unbearable, so he could only limped to the doctor’s clinic to find a doctor for acupuncture. Seeking medical treatment can save money.

Shen Ji helped people into the Renji Hall, and he couldn't help feeling cordial and happy when he entered the medical hall.Accompanying Zhang Nian for acupuncture and moxibustion, just when they were chatting, the doctor mentioned that the weather has been cold recently, and more and more people came to the clinic to seek medical advice and medicine. Some apprentices came to help take care of many patients in the back hall, but why haven't they found them yet? The doctors are so busy that they are really tired...

Ah, it doesn't take much effort to find nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes!When Shen Ji came here, he wanted to find a medical clinic first, so that he could learn something and not spend money all the time - even if the apprentice didn't have monthly money, the room and board would always be able to help!

"Old man, I want to apply to be an apprentice of Renjitang. When I was at home, I was basically proficient in basic medical science and pharmacology, cultivation, management, and processing of common herbs. Do you think I can do it?" Shen Jiyang said sincerely With a sincere smile, he stepped forward and introduced himself.

Doctor Dongfang Yan was giving Zhang Nian acupuncture. When he heard Shen Ji speak, he raised his eyes and looked at him carefully for a while. He felt that this young man had good facial features, a kind attitude, and clear eyes without any turbid thoughts—he seemed quite clever. Diligent appearance, but his dangling arm——

Zhang Nian was grateful for Shen Ji's help just now. Seeing Dongfang Yan's hesitant expression, he immediately helped and said, "Oh, I said Doctor Dongfang, this kid has a good heart. Just now my old man's legs hurt so badly that he couldn't walk on the street. Dao, he was the one who warmly supported me, if you want me to say that this is a good doctor, you must have a kind heart, so you accept him!"

Shen Ji found that the Dongfang doctor's eyes were always on his hanging arm, and he quickly explained: "Don't worry, my arm was accidentally broken before, but it has been raised for more than a month, and it will be ready soon." The splint has been disassembled - please give me a chance to try, I will definitely do it well!"

Dongfang Yan was flanked by the old and the young. Seeing people earnestly looking forward to it, he couldn't refuse easily. After pondering for a while, he said, "Your name is Shen Ji, right? This apprentice old man I can't be the master, we have to give our boss a nod, so let me take you to ask, it's up to you to see if it succeeds."

"Thank you, thank you!" Shen Ji happily and nervously followed Dongfang Yan to the back hall.

Zhang Nian said worriedly from behind: "Young man, don't be afraid, just use what you have, whether you succeed or not is another matter!"

"I know, Uncle Zhang, I'll come back to take you home later, wait for me for a while!" Shen Ji turned around and explained a few words while walking.

In a place like Hezhou where there are many military households and few peasant households, there are constant wars all year round, and there are many large and small medical clinics. Renjitang is in the north of the city. Although this is not the main commercial and prosperous area of ​​Hezhou, behind it is the imperial court. The residential camp for military households is very well planned, and the people living in it are all family members of Zhenbei Army.Therefore, the geographical location of Renjitang is considered to be unique. His ancestors were born as traveling doctors in the city of Hezhou. Later, he saved enough money. With the help of a few wars a few years ago, Renjitang opened, and its reputation is quite good. It can be regarded as Hezhou It is the number one medical clinic in the city.

Dongfang Yan led people through the back door and stepped onto the long veranda on the east side. In this rough and unrestrained place in the Northland, Shen Ji felt novelty when he saw the more delicate and elegant pavilions, pavilions, flowers, trees, bamboo forests, and arched plaques in front of him. I have to admire the rich financial resources of the owner of this Renjitang - the thick and simple medical clinic, the luxurious and noble family house are connected together, and they are self-contained, occupying such a large area, really, tsk tsk tsk!

"Be careful!" On the slippery snow path by the lake, Dongfang Yan almost slipped, Shen Ji had sharp eyes, and hurried forward to give him a hand.It has been snowing lightly in Hezhou for the past few days, and there are thin layers of snow everywhere, making it impossible to guard against. Shen Ji is not used to this dry and cold climate until now.

Dongfang Yan nodded in satisfaction, slowed down, and pointed to Shen Ji:

"When I see my boss in a while, you have to be smart, lest the boss blame me for randomly recommending people, but don't be too nervous. This apprentice doesn't need high qualifications. The key is to be proficient in medical science and pharmacology, diligent in hands and feet, and sweet in mouth. Do you remember?" Dongfang Yan is still a very good person, after all he and Shen Ji met by chance, but he is willing to do his best to help.

It was the first time for Shen Ji to experience such a scene where he needed to show himself well, and he couldn't be calm, but at the same time, he was also confident in his father's years of teaching at home and his experience in helping to manage the herb garden at home, so he went to apply for an apprentice—no Will it be too difficult?should……

After walking for a while, Dongfang Yan brought Shen Ji to a hall, and when he walked in, it was very warm inside, the earth dragon was burning very hot, it was completely a different world from the snowy sky outside!Hearing the noise, a young boy came out to say hello: "It's Doctor Dongfang. You are well. Please sit down. I'll make you some tea!"

"Hey, Sun An is back, you little monkey, let me ask you, is the boss there?" Dongfang Yan hurriedly stopped the boy running outside with a smile.

The young man named Sun An is tall and thin, with a long face, big round eyes, and he always smiles crookedly. Not here, I went out of the city to inspect Xiaomei Mountain. But the young master is at home today, do you think?"

——It’s just a matter of recruiting an apprentice. It is expected that the master has always valued the cultivation of the only son, the young master. There is nothing inappropriate or overstepping the rules for asking him to decide on such a trivial matter!After contemplating for a moment, Dongfang Yan said: "Then invite the young master, I have something to ask him to explain."

"Okay, then sit down for a while, I'll go right away!" Sun An walked towards the back hall, and when he passed by Shen Ji who was half a head shorter than him, he couldn't help looking at him with curiosity, and Shen Ji hurriedly looked at him. He smiled, causing Sun An's eyes to narrow like a first-quarter moon, and ran away "deng deng deng".

Shen Ji waited anxiously. After a while, the curtain was pulled up, and a person walked out calmly. He quickly stood up and looked with wide eyes:

The visitor was tall and tall, wearing a white cloud brocade robe, and his long black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin.With sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a smile on his lips, the warm feeling around him was blowing like the evening wind in mid-spring. He first stretched out his hand and asked Dongfang Yan to take a seat politely. When he spoke, he said in a clear voice: "Uncle Dongfang, please sit down." Hurry up and serve tea, little monkey! By the way, I don’t know why Uncle Shi asked Junzhuo to come here today?”

It turned out that everyone called Sun An a little monkey, and he went out cheerfully. Facing the scrutiny from the young boss, Shen Ji was a little at a loss, so he had to stand up straight and try to relax himself.

"Young master, I remember my master said a few days ago that our Renjitang needs to recruit a few apprentices to help, right? This young man is called Shen Ji. I think he's fine, so I'll bring him here to show the young master! Shen Ji, hurry up Come and say hello to Young Master's family, don't just stand there!" Dongfang Yan beckoned Shen Ji to come forward.
