The second day after Su Nianyun met Gao Wenxuan, he packed his things and said a solemn farewell to the people at the medicine shop.
"I will always remember the care you have given me..." Gao Wenxuan saluted everyone.
There was no expression on Su Cheng's face, but his heart ached.
Of course, he didn't feel sorry for Gao Wenxuan leaving, but felt sorry for Gao Wenxuan eating and taking things here.
Ayun used the most expensive medicinal materials in the medicine shop to prolong his life. He was already a bodhisattva. He didn't expect that this guy would make pills with the medicine and take it with him before he left.
He even took the food and the income from the Mobei Medicine Shop in one year with him.
Fortunately, Sujia Village has a lot of income. A single jade-faced agar-agar shop’s monthly income is enough to sustain the tribe’s livelihood for half a year.
This does not include the tribesmen who have not yet come out. They raise livestock and poultry around the village. Even if the shops outside are no longer making money, they can still eat enough by being self-sufficient.
Therefore, Gao Wenxuan's coming and going and taking away so many things from the medicinal materials store that were packed in the boxes would not have any impact on Sujiacun.
And the most important point is that although he didn't hear what Ayun said to Gao Wenxuan that day, Gao Wenxuan was going to the palace to participate in the selection of imperial doctors, so Ayun must have entrusted him with something.
This was also the reason why Su Cheng tried his best to restrain himself and did not ask Gao Wenxuan for the money for the medicine.
"Brother Gao, you should go back to the medicine shop often when you have time." Fugui, who has taken care of him these days, feels a little reluctant to leave him.
Last night, Gao Wenxuan gave him a "Collection of Prescriptions". This was the only thing Gao Wenxuan kept after he met the robbers, and it was also the master's secret.
But he gave this book of secrets that the master told him not to pass on to the rich.
After he got to know Orion and learned about the outside world, his ideas began to change from those of his master.
It turns out that his medical skills, apart from being able to heal himself, can save many people in the world.
The master had great medical skills and had no hidden diseases, but he loved to live alone and avoid others. If he hadn't found him in the mountains by chance, the master would have died alone in the mountains.
After going down the mountain and gaining more knowledge, Gao Wenxuan felt that God gave him medical skills not just to hide in the mountains, but to come out to help the world and save people. This is the greatest use of medical skills.
As for the medical books passed down by his master, he did not regard them as secrets that could not be passed on to others.
Especially since he gave the book to a person who is upright, diligent, and willing to study medicine assiduously, he doesn't think there is any problem.
After leaving the Mobei medicinal shop, Gao Wenxuan followed the route informed by Fushun in advance and headed towards the palace gate.
The selection of the royal physician in the palace is done before winter approaches the end of the year.
As the cold winter approaches, more people will suffer from colds and other illnesses. Coupled with the busy New Year period, this is the time when Tai Hospital is most short of staff.
Therefore, all the doctors who have passed the selection process at this time will be put to use when the new year comes.
Arriving at the palace gate, Gao Wenxuan showed the jade plaque given to him by the local magistrate.
The guard guarding the palace gate glanced at Gao Wenxuan, "The selection examination for the imperial doctor started ten days ago. Why did you come today?"
"Something happened on the way and we were delayed!" Gao Wenxuan explained.
He heard Su Nianyun say yesterday that those who enter the palace as imperial doctors must go through various examinations and selections.
The first few exams are all about medical theory. It doesn't matter whether you take part or not. It's just a make-up exam if you go late.
The most important exam is actually the last half-month practical exam.
As long as Gao Wenxuan doesn't miss this exam, he will have a chance to enter Tai Hospital.
The practical examination, as the name suggests, is an examination to verify the medical skills of doctors.
The Taiyuan Hospital will select some eunuchs and maids with difficult and complicated diseases, and let these examinees be responsible for the treatment for half a month.
Whoever takes care of a patient who has a significant improvement or recovery will pass the exam.
This examination was personally presided over by the head of Taiyuan Hospital.
The current head of the Imperial Hospital is Imperial Physician Shen.
Originally, Su Nianyun could directly talk to Dr. Shen to accommodate Gao Wenxuan's late arrival due to illness.
However, considering that she did not want to reveal her identity in front of Gao Wenxuan, and did not want Doctor Shen to know that she knew Gao Wenxuan, she only asked Gao Wenxuan to explain clearly to get the opportunity.
If everything went according to the previous life, then Gao Wenxuan's admission to Tai Hospital would not be a concern for her at all.
The guard said, "Everyone who comes to participate in the selection of the Taiyuan Hospital always arrives in the capital two or three months in advance to wait. The worst is to come three to five days early."
"The fact that you were delayed by something on the road shows that your idea of entering the palace as an imperial physician is not very positive!"
Facing the guards' censure, Gao Wenxuan didn't know how to explain everything that happened on his way.
That he was robbed or that he was seriously ill?
The other party might believe you if you say you are robbing someone, but if you say you are too sick and weak to come, they will definitely not believe you.
In the past, he also tried to explain it to others.
Who can believe that a person with excellent medical skills can be seriously ill and incurable?
If you believe a doctor and you are seriously ill and die, who can trust his medical skills?
Later, Gao Wenxuan did not say much about his condition to outsiders.
"Brother Guard, I am really delayed by something. I sincerely came to participate in the selection of the Taiyuan Hospital. Please give me a chance to help me pass the news to the Taiyuan Hospital."
The guard wanted to say something more, but then a group of patrolling guards came over.
The leader of the guard asked, "What happened?"
The guard hurriedly replied, "Chief Guard, this person is here to participate in the selection of Tai Hospital, but the exam of Tai Hospital started yesterday..."
The captain of the guard came directly to Gao Wenxuan and looked at Gao Wenxuan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
The captain of the guard who has been guarding the palace for many years is tall and mighty, and his eyes are full of oppression.
Gao Wenxuan was not afraid of his scrutiny, but sincerely handed over the jade plaque.
"I really encountered an accident on the way. I didn't come late on purpose. Please ask the chief guard to inform the Tai Hospital for me."
Seeing that the visitor behaved respectfully and had open eyes, the chief guard confirmed that Gao Wenxuan was indeed here to participate in the selection of the Taiyuan Hospital.
He took the jade token from Gao Wenxuan's hand and handed it to a guard behind him.
"Take the jade sign and go to the Taiyuan Hospital to ask if they want the latecomers. If they want them, let the Taiyuan Hospital come out to pick them up. If they don't want them, don't let them block the palace door."
"yes."
The guards took orders and hurried to the Imperial Hospital, while the head guard continued to lead the remaining people around.
Gao Wenxuan waited nervously at the gate of the palace, anxiously waiting for the final decision of the Taiyuan Hospital.
Soon, the figure of the guard who went to the Imperial Hospital to report gradually appeared from the palace passage.
Gao Wenxuan looked at him expectantly, "What, what does Taiyuan Hospital say?"
The guard said, "The hospital has something to say. The date of the selection examination is known to the whole country. No matter what happens to you on the way, if you are late, you are always late..."
Gao Wenxuan's heart felt cold.
The guard behind him did not forget to add a word of comfort to him, "It's okay. Anyway, you can't take part in the selection examination of Taiyuan Hospital this year. It will be the same if you come next year!"
