Qiu Yu had a good temper. After nodding his greetings to Bai Su, he didn't care about the cold faces he saw.
Instead, he showed the baggage in his hand to Lin Mengya like a treasure.
"I just learned that you have just arrived in the palace, and you must not be able to eat well or sleep well. I went to the imperial kitchen and brought you some delicious food. Although it is not a delicious delicacy, it is still okay to have a tooth ceremony."
Probably because Qiu Yu had a face that appealed to both young and old, and he always greeted everyone with a smile. She always felt very kind to this young imperial physician.
Waves of aroma that make your index fingers tremble emanate from the table.
Lin Mengya saw him take out two oil packets from the baggage. Peeling them open carefully, it turned out to be a roast duck that was still shiny with oil.
"This is the specialty dish of our master in the imperial kitchen. I begged him for three days to cook it for me. You are lucky, you are really lucky."
In addition to roast duck, there are also vegetarian dishes such as braised duck feet, braised duck wings, lotus root slices and kelp. These various dishes take up half of the table.
"Are you planning to come to my place for a party?"
Lin Mengya couldn't help but laugh. Qiu Yu was stunned. He obviously didn't understand the meaning of the party. However, he was a smart man and he could easily guess what Lin Mengya meant.
He smiled, and finally, like a magic trick, he took out a small wine bottle and an exquisite wine glass from his arms. He poured himself a glass of wine, which was in line with his free and easy temperament.
"According to tradition, today should be the first day of the Lunar New Year. But those of us cannot help ourselves, so we can only have fun in the midst of hardships."
Qiu Yu's somewhat self-deprecating words made Lin Mengya seem to realize something.
Yes, no matter how busy I was in the past, I would always take a few days off during the Chinese New Year.
Without any pretense, she took Bai Su and sat at the edge of the table. She reached out and took out a spicy duck wing and tasted it carefully.
"Before I entered the palace, I saw red lanterns all over the street. I heard that there will be many dragon and lion dance performances today until dawn tonight."
Lin Mengya said with a bit of regret, originally, she had discussed it with the four girls. During the first month, she would lead them to make a lot of noise.
But in the palace, it can only be quiet.
Even the silver charcoal in the charcoal basin seemed to be suppressed by this atmosphere, and could only burn quietly.
"What's the deal with the wealth of this heavenly family? In my opinion, it's not as good as ordinary people's families."
Qiu Yu's words were full of envy for ordinary life.
Lin Mengya looks at Although he was just an imperial doctor, his food and clothing were of extraordinary quality. However, Qiu was not from a famous family in the capital, so he must have been a wealthy and noble son from other provinces.
"Ordinary people may not be happy. In a big family, although they will be constrained, they have no worries about food and clothing. Those words that envy the lives of the poor are just their moaning. Even if you dig in the soil, you have to go through spring planting.
Autumn harvest. If there is famine and war, the poor will be even more deprived of food and clothing. In order to have enough food, they will sell their children and daughters. Even living has become a luxury. What kind of happiness can there be?"
Qiu Yu was eating the duck leg and suddenly stopped.
With a hint of admiration in his eyes, he looked at the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes in front of him.
He originally thought that this woman who came from a noble family and her husband's family was just more knowledgeable than ordinary women.
However, after rescuing people from the military camp and later leaving paintings in Beilou, he gradually realized that what was in front of him was not some flawless jade.
She is a true rare treasure. She is not arrogant, but like a clear lotus emerging from the water, without any stain. However, what she said today is far from what a woman raised in a boudoir can say.
"When I was at home, my father and brother always praised General Lin as a rare hero in this world. But I didn't think so, thinking he was just a reckless man. Today, I know that even my daughter has been raised to be so broad-minded. That's enough.
You see, General Lin is definitely a wise and wise hero. Qiu Yu is like a frog at the bottom of a well, so rude."
After saying that, he bowed his hands and bowed deeply to Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya didn't expect that he was such a free and honest person. At that moment, her favorable impression of this Imperial Physician Qiu increased a lot.
My heart is becoming more and more curious.
What kind of mountain hero and earth spirit could raise such a willful and willful man?
"He who doesn't know is not guilty. I also have a brother. If you guys meet him, you will definitely hit it off."
Qiu Yu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said
"That's natural. When I saw you and Major General Lin in the military camp, I felt very friendly. But at the beginning, I had important things to do and I didn't have the chance to get close. If I had the chance, I would definitely have a drink with Major General Lin.
"
Qiu Yu was quite generous, but it was a pity that the glass in front of him was a small wine glass. Otherwise, this guy would definitely get drunk.
"By the way, I
It’s my first time to come to Taiyuan Hospital, and some things are not very clear yet. If it’s convenient, you might as well do it and give me some advice.”
Qiu Yu thought for a moment and put down the wine glass in his hand.
But for some reason, there was a bit more disdain in his eyes.
"This is not a hospital. Doctors should be kind-hearted and kind. But they are just a group of evil wolves disguised as a crowd. Even if I am not here today, I can only imagine the ugly appearance of those people. What you saw today
Yes, they just come to the palace to take turns on duty on New Year's Eve. Only if you see all the people in the Taiyuan Hospital, will you know what the words "human face and animal heart" really mean."
Lin Mengya could actually guess this evaluation, as her teacher had once warned her about it. Those who could enter the palace and become an imperial physician had both ambition and means.
However, Lin Mengya was curious. The teacher had never set foot in Taiyuan Hospital in his life. Why did he know so much about everything inside?
"There is a limerick in the palace that goes like this: The king of hell seduces people's souls; the devil on the river eats people's hearts; the reins are not fastened to the wolf's mouth; the horse does not eat grass and loves gold and silver. It is talking about the four big figures in the imperial hospital. With them here, this
I don’t know how many innocent lives were lost in the palace in one year.”
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Hospital within the palace was also so dark.
Lin Mengya listened quietly. Although Qiu Yu repeatedly endured, she could still hear some resentment in his tone.
"You must have met Jiang Kai today. Speaking of which, he is somewhat related to you. He is considered Concubine De's natal family, and it was because of Concubine De's recommendation that he entered the palace. However, it is said that the most favored member of the Jiang family
It was he who introduced the young master to study under a famous doctor. Therefore, he was highly regarded by the Jiang family. This man has a bad temper, but he is the easiest to deal with among these four people. Your hand-controlled needle skills, he
He wants to get it no matter what. With your identity, he cannot act rashly. The remaining three are not so easy to deal with."
Lin Mengya didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
"The deputy hospital judge Cui Shi, He Tianhe, the imperial physician, Ma Beiming, the imperial physician, and Jiang Kai are collectively known as the Four Yamas of the imperial hospital. On the surface, they look kind-hearted and kind, but secretly, they are all cannibals.
Hands that spit out bones. I can't finish talking about these people for three days and three nights. You just need to remember that these people will not be provoked if you can. They are all powerful in the palace. Although you
She is a princess, but she is still very capable. And I am just an unknown pawn, and my teacher has been squeezed out by them. Even if I want to protect you, it is I feel powerless."
Qiu Yu's expression was full of self-mockery at his own powerlessness.
Lin Mengya shook her head, poured him a glass of wine with her backhand.
"I want to thank Brother Qiu for this cup. If it weren't for you, no one would have told me these words. You have done me a great favor by being so sincere to me. No matter what you have in the future,
If you ask for anything, I will try my best to help you. I am determined to be your friend."
Lin Mengya was very good at reading people. If Qiu Yu was just an ordinary doctor, he would have disappeared by now.
His arrival tonight can only mean two things.
First, he really doesn’t have any bad intentions towards him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said it in such detail if he would be ostracized if people knew about it. Second, this guy might really be a great person, although
Both words were filled with dissatisfaction and fear of Taiyin Hospital. But she could tell that this person didn't care much about Taiyin Hospital.
Unexpectedly, just after entering the palace, I would meet such an interesting person.
"Brother Qiu, I will try my best to protect you. It's getting late today, so I'll visit you another day. By the way, here is the incense I prepared for you. Don't get me wrong, this is for the person in the side room.
Two prepared ones. Mixing it in a charcoal basin or incense can make people feel tired. There will not be the drowsy feeling of ordinary incense, but it will make people feel sleepy and tired.
Just a sleep."
Before leaving, Qiu Yu did not forget to take out an exquisite small box from his sleeve.
After giving it to Lin Mengya, he gave her a few instructions in detail. He also told her that if he needed his help, he would use a red brick to press a feather on the wall in the northwest corner of the yard. He would look for an opportunity.
, came to meet her.
After accepting Qiu Yu's kindness one by one, the man secretly walked out of the small courtyard.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya scared Pearl and Agate today, otherwise, Qiu Yu really wouldn't be able to sneak in and out easily.
She didn't expect that there would be such an uninvited guest tonight. By the time she came to her senses, it was already the moon in the sky.
After washing her face, hands and feet with warm water, she and Bai Su were no different than master and servant. They gathered around two quilts and started chatting on the bed.
"This Imperial Physician Qiu, I think Master, seems to be very close to him. Master, there are some things we have to guard against in the palace."
Bai Su said worriedly while warming Lin Mengya's hands and feet.
