Chapter 107 Spring Examination Quota

Ever since Pei Yunying came to the hospital to get medicine that day, Lu Zhuo didn't see him again for many days.

 Since the beginning of winter, Shengjing has become colder day by day. Yin Zheng saw that the weather was going to snow, so she asked Tailor Ge across the street to take away the thicker leather and leave two pieces to make a cloak for Lu Yun.

On this day, Lu Huan was sitting in front of the cabinet, reading medical books. Someone came in from outside the door, stopped in front of the cabinet, and called softly: "Doctor Lu."

 Lu Zhen raised his head, saw the person clearly and stood up, "Master Dong."

The visitor is Dong Lin from the Qing Palace of Taifu Temple.

 Since the tribute case, Dong Lin rarely came to the hospital again. As a result, his lung disease improved a lot, and he didn't take medicine as frequently as before. Secondly, the scene that happened in the Gongju Examination Hall a few months ago frightened Mrs. Dong. Mrs. Dong already loved her son like a jewel. After this incident, she watched Dong Lin even more closely. Every time she went out, she had a bunch of guards at the front and back. On the contrary, it is not very convenient to come to West Street.

Today Dong Lin wore a brand new honey-colored silk robe. After his lung disease improved, his complexion became much rosier and he was not as bloated as before. He looked much more energetic than when we first met him at Wan'en Temple. Seeing Lu Zhuo stand up, Dong Lin hurriedly said: "Doctor Lu, excuse me...I...I'm here to get medicine today."

 He was always a bit clumsy in speaking in front of Lu Zhuo, so Du Changqing gave him a meaningful look, and pulled Acheng to the back of the shop with a look.

Lu Zong asked Dong Lin to sit down and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

She was sitting close to her. She had always been delicate. In the winter, she wore a narrow slate-colored coat and skirt, with a circle of fluffy rabbit fur embroidered on the collar. However, it made her face look only as big as a palm, and her bright eyes were moving.

Dong Lin's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he felt that the wrist held by the beauty's fingers was getting hot. He lowered his head in a hurry, not daring to look more.

Lu Zhen took back his hand: "Master Dong's pulse is fine. If there are no symptoms in the future, there is no need to continue taking medicine. I will prescribe some warming tonics and drink them occasionally. Just pay attention to your diet on weekdays."

“Thank you so much, Doctor Lu.” Dong Lin was grateful, “It’s difficult for Doctor Lu to sit in the hospital and worry about my condition...”

Dong Lin came to the hospital after receiving the news.

The waiter next to him said that the maid from Renxin Medical Center came to Dong's Mansion and said that Dong Lin had not been to the medical center for a while. If he was free, he would like to come to the medical center to sit down and give Lu Zhu some advice. How is your condition?

At that time, Dong Lin felt a secret joy in his heart.

This Doctor Lu has a cold temperament. He came to Taifu Temple several times, but he did not try to cling to him. He was even more alienated than others. It is precisely because of this that the more distant Lu Yu becomes, the more Dong Lin loves her.

 What you can’t get is always what you want most.

However, the situation did not seem to be as hopeless as he thought.

Doctor Lu is busy with things in the medical clinic every day, but she still thinks about his body. This means...she also has him in her heart, right?

Dong Lin put away his reverie and said seriously: "I owe my recovery to Doctor Lu. Speaking of which, I really don't know how to thank you. If you need anything from Doctor Lu in the future, please let me know. If I can be of any help, I will spare no effort."

This was originally a polite remark. Before he could finish what he said, Lu Zhuo's eyes moved and his brows gradually furrowed, as if he was very embarrassed.

Dong Lin was startled and asked tentatively: "Doctor Lu...what difficulties did he encounter?"

"It's not a difficulty." The beauty sighed slightly, and the sadness between her eyebrows was like a thin thread, easily wrapping him up. She said, "I have something I want to do, but I can't find anyone to help." She looked at Dong Lin again, Silently lowering his eyes, "That's all."

This sentence "That's all" made Dong Lin's heart skip a beat. He resisted the urge to stretch out his hand to smooth the beauty's eyebrows and asked eagerly: "If Doctor Lu can trust me, you might as well say it straight. I will never tell anyone else." .”

Lu Zhen looked troubled.

Dong Lin looked earnest.

After a long time, Lu Zhuo sighed, then looked at him and said softly: "Master Dong, does he know about the Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau?"

 “Spring exam?” Dong Lin was stunned.

As a young master of Taifu Temple, he naturally knows about the Spring Examination.

The Imperial Medical Bureau is a college that trains medical officers.

Students of the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Liang Dynasty, after completing the nine subjects of Da Fang Pulse, Xiao Fang Pulse, wind medicine, ophthalmology, ulcer medicine, oral and throat medicine, acupuncture, gold and book printing, as long as they passed the spring examination every three years, You can enter the Imperial Medical College to serve.

Dong Lin looked at Lu Yu hesitantly: "Doctor Lu, this is..."

“I want to take part in the Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau this year.” Lu Zhu looked at him.

 Dong Lin was stunned.

As the name of the Imperial Medical Bureau Spring Examination suggests, all those taking the exam are students from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Most of the students who can study in the Imperial Medical Bureau have many connections in their families. Not only are they from high-ranking families, but they are at least junior officials.

It is true that in order to show fairness, every year in the spring examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Liang Dynasty Medical Office will also recommend some civilian doctors who are not students of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Most of these doctors are senior and their medical skills are widely trusted in Shengjing. The Hanlin Medical Academy makes an exception. These doctors had the opportunity to participate in the spring examination, which gave them the possibility of entering Hanlin Medical Academy.

But... Lu Zhen is going to take the spring exam?

Dong Lin said in confusion: "Dr. Lu, does he want to enter the Imperial Medical College?"

 Lu Zhuo nodded.

Dong Lin didn't understand even more. It's not that there are no female medical officers in Hanlin Medical College, but Lu Zhuo did a good job in Renxin Medical Center. If he really entered Hanlin Medical College, it would be more glamorous on the surface, but not as free as outside. . Moreover, most of the medical officers in Hanlin Medical Academy are students from the Imperial Medical Bureau, and they have always looked down on the "wild doctors" who come from the outside medical profession. When outsiders come in, they don't know how they will bully them.

not to mention…

Dong Lin looked at Lu Huan. He didn't think Lu Huan could pass the imperial medical bureau's spring examination.

Although Lu Zhen saved himself, and also rescued Princess Wenjun and her daughter a few days ago, the previous "Chun Shui Sheng" and "Xian Xian" were also selling well in Shengjing. But the gentlemen in the Imperial Medical Bureau were all original medical officers of the Imperial Medical College. Lu Huan had not even carefully studied serious medical subjects, so how could he pass the nine-subject spring examination. At least in recent years, among the old civilian doctors recommended by medical clinics to take the spring examination, only a handful of them can pass the spring examination.

"Why is Doctor Lu like this?" Dong Lin kindly consoled him, "Being a medical officer only means a little more money than here. There are many more rules in the palace than outside. If Doctor Lu is short of money, I can..."

“Master Dong,” Lu Yan interrupted him and smiled at him, “When I came to Shengjing, I followed my master’s will and entered the Hanlin Medical Academy...”

Dong Lin was so dizzy by the beauty's smile that his heart was burning. When he heard her talk about "Master's legacy", he suddenly felt admiration and pity. He couldn't say any more words to stop him. He only asked cautiously: "This matter" , I wonder what I can do to help?”

“I think Mr. Dong is the Minister of Taifu Temple, and he should have a good relationship with the medical practice. If I can tell the medical practice, I will be among the doctors recommended to take the exam this year..."

Hearing this, Dong Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

 He thought it was Lu Zhen who asked him to help make a fuss about the final results of the spring exam. You must know that due to the tribute case a few months ago, all school examinations in the Liang Dynasty were stricter than in previous years. No one dared to take risks at this juncture. If Lu Yan really made this request, it would be hard for him to agree. He didn't expect that he just wanted a place to take the exam.

"What's so difficult about this?" Dong Lin said with a smile: "Every year, the doctors recommended by the medical practice are not even satisfied with their names. It's just a trivial matter. Doctor Lu just leaves it to me."

Lu Zhen looked slightly relieved and said gratefully: "Well, thank you Master Dong for your help."

　　Being a hero to save the beauty in front of his favorite beauty, Dong Lin felt so happy that even his voice became high-spirited. He spoke a few words with Lu Zhu again. It wasn't until a patient came to the hospital for treatment and Lu Zhu became busy that Dong Lin got up and said goodbye, reluctantly leaving. Du Changqing, who was hiding behind the felt curtain and eating melon seeds, looked at Dong Lin's walking back, spit out a piece of melon seed peel into his pocket, and whispered: "I don't know why I have been talking for so long, my face is broken from laughter, and I am still in the palace." Where is the young master from the temple? Look at how worthless it is."

Yin Zheng came in with a dustpan of white thorns. Upon seeing this, he glanced at Du Changqing curiously and said, "Shopkeeper Du, you are a little strange."

 “What’s strange?”

"They also have plans for the girl. You are very guarded against Pei Dianshuai. Why don't you stop Master Dong?"

Every few days, Du Changqing would say something bad about Pei Yunying in front of Lu Yun, as if he was afraid that Lu Yun would be abducted by Pei Yunying inadvertently. Dong Lin's eyes would be glued to Lu Yun, but Du Changqing didn't say a single unnecessary word.

"Can it be the same?" Du Changqing rolled his eyes, "Pei Yunying looks like this, and Dong Lin looks like this. Young girls like pretty ones. Doctor Lu is most likely fascinated by the face of Pei. Dong's? She doesn't like it, why should I worry about it?"

Yin Zheng thought for a while: "You are worried that the girl will be fascinated by Mr. Pei, so you react like this. Shopkeeper Du, are you jealous because you like my girl?"

 “Cough cough cough—”

Du Changqing almost choked on the melon seed skin, and finally vomited it out, and said angrily: "How is that possible?"

“Then why do you have a bad face every time you mention Mr. Pei?”

"Why don't you stop him and wait for him to trick Dr. Lu into the door of his Pei family with sweet words?" Du Changqing said angrily, "Once this woman gets married, she will no longer be free. Especially from an official family like theirs."

"If Dr. Lu really follows Pei, will Pei let her out to sit in the hospital for me in the future? My medical clinic has finally improved. If I work for a few more years, I can buy a shop in the south of the city. Pei If you want to seduce Dr. Lu, you just have to cut off my money. Depriving someone of their money is like killing your parents. If I see my enemy who killed my father, can I show a good face to me?"

Yin Zheng didn't expect Du Changqing's idea to be so strange. She choked for a moment before speaking: "I see, I underestimated Shopkeeper Du."

Du Changqing put the melon seeds in his pocket and said, "I told you not to look at those romantic things. The situation is bigger."

He lifted the felt curtain and sighed: "Doctor Lu, this golden phoenix cannot be taken away by any messy things. It is better to stay in our broken chicken coop and give this broken chicken coop a golden body!" "

Yin Zheng: “…”

He went outside, his back was arrogant and unruly. Yin Zheng flattened his mouth, looked at him with a hint of sympathy, and whispered: "That's not necessarily the case."

 …

Du Changqing also wanted to keep Lu Zhuo's golden phoenix in the Renxin Medical Clinic for a long time as a treasure. On the other end, Master Dong, who had received Lu Zhuo's request, went to the medical clinic that afternoon.

The medical envoy of the medical clinic was lying on the bed these days to prepare the list of civilian doctors to be elected for this year's Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When he saw the young master from the Qing family of Taifu Temple suddenly coming, he immediately put down the heater in his hand and went out barefoot to greet him. .

Dong Lin was surrounded by a group of people and entered the door of the medical clinic. When the door was closed and he explained his purpose of coming, the doctor who made the decision readily patted his chest: "It's such a trivial matter, why did Master Dong personally go there and send someone to do it?" Just to put it bluntly." He leaned closer to the rosters sent by various medical clinics and said doubtfully, "The person Master Dong mentioned is... is..."

“It’s Dr. Lu Shunlu from Renxin Medical Center.”

Hearing this, the doctor suddenly realized, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Dong Lin: "It turns out to be Doctor Lu!"

Renxin Medical Center has become somewhat famous in Shengjing Medical Clinic in the past six months, but it is not because of the two new patent medicines made by the little-known foreign medical woman. It was that Lou Si, who worked at the Medical Clinic before, wanted to inflict some hardships on Renxin Medical Center by accepting money from others, but was tortured by the Dong family guards who came to support him that day. This incident soon spread in the medical clinic. opened.

 Behind the small Renxin Medical Clinic, there was actually a minister from the Taifu Temple supporting it.

The medical practice was originally skeptical of this rumor, but today Mr. Dong personally came to ask for a favor from Dr. Lu. It seems that the rumors are indeed true.

The doctor silently added something to the small medical clinic on West Street, but he agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Dong, the medical clinic does not have enough doctors recommended for the spring examination every year. What do you say?" , On the contrary, it has solved the urgent need of the young people. When we go back and draw up the roster, it will not delay Dr. Lu's spring examination this year."

Dong Lin thanked him with a smile, listened to the doctor's compliments, and then left.

After he left, the medicine boy next to the doctor asked: "Sir, what is the background of Doctor Lu that he actually asked Master Dong to beg for her personally?"

Even though she had treated Dong Lin, she was still just an ordinary citizen, and the prince of Taifu Temple did not have to go to such trouble for her. Dong Lin acted like this, obviously he was very concerned about this matter.

The doctor snorted: "Who knows?"

 He put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Look for an opportunity to tell Mrs. Dong about this later."

“Eh? Why do you still need to tell Mrs. Dong?”

The doctor knocked the medicine boy on the head, shook his head and left.

 “Silly boy, our help is not in vain.”

Outside the door, the boy helped Dong Lin get into the carriage. The cold wind was biting and his hands and feet were freezing. Dong Lin sneezed, and the boy hurriedly handed him the hand stove.

The carriage turned a corner and gradually drove away from the long street. The boy couldn't help but said: "Master, do you really want to help Doctor Lu enter the palace?"

For the spring, I asked for help in person. Why did the young master have eaten this kind of suffering?

Dong Lin held the hand stove with a smile on his face. A slight warmth came from his palms, reminding him of the small piece of skin touched by Lu Zhuo's fingers when he was in the hospital. It was also so hot.

He said absently: "We just ask her to take the spring exam, but she may not be able to pass the school exam and enter the palace."

In recent years, in addition to the students from the Imperial Medical Bureau, how many old doctors recommended by the medical offices have passed the spring examination? It is true that the medical skills of those old doctors are not mediocre, but school examinations and medical practice are sometimes two different things, not to mention that Lu Zhuo is still so young.

Dong Lin knew clearly that even if Lu Huan was allowed to participate in the spring examination, the final result would probably be unsatisfactory.

 But this kind of behavior can win him the favor of beautiful women.

 In fact, he has always been more concerned about Lu Zhen's alienation from him than his mother's opposition. But today was different. She took the initiative to care about his condition, and he went to fulfill her wish. Dong Lin thought he could see Lu Zhen's softening attitude toward him. Perhaps, Doctor Lu was not completely unkind to him.

The boy asked: "What if Dr. Lu fails the spring examination?"

 “That’s better.”

 The boy was stunned.

The wheels rolled over the rocks, and the carriage jolted. Dong Lin lowered his head and held on to the heater that was almost rolling down, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Then I will go directly to the door to ask for permission and accept her into the door of my Dong family."

Xiao Du: Are you thinking about pici?
