Later, the two of them spoke a few words with Yang Dongna and Luang Pulan and returned to their homes.
The next morning, Luang Pu Lan took the deer antler he had hidden to pay for yesterday's medical expenses. Zhu Xiancai took the deer antler from her hand and said with a smile: "Why did you come here by yourself?"
"Who else can come? I am only eleven years old. There are not many slaves snatched from other villages in the village, and it is even more impossible to give one to me." Luang Pulan said.
"I mean, where is Yang Dong? Why didn't he come with you?" Zhu Xiancai continued to ask.
"He is just my cousin, not my slave. How come he came with me?" Luang Pulan said. However, although it was not obvious under the sunlight, it could be seen that her face was slightly red.
"Just a cousin?" Zhu Xiancai said with a smile in an ambiguous tone: "Really just a cousin?"
"Oh, Sister Zhu, you are evil! Okay, okay, I admit that I am interested in my cousin, and my cousin is also interested in me. But wasn't he injured yesterday? He is recovering at home now." Luang Pulan said with a blushing face.
"Actually, if his arm is injured, as long as he doesn't move his arm, there is no harm in walking around more. It just so happens that his arm is injured and he can't work, so you can ask him to go out for a walk more often these days." Zhu Xiancai said.
"Really?" Luang Pu Lan asked.
"Of course it is true," Zhu Xiancai said, "I am a doctor, how could I tell lies here."
"Hey, by the way, speaking of doctors, do you understand the internal medicine of your Han medical skills?" Luang Pulan suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Internal medicine? You know a little bit about it," Zhu Xiancai said.
"Then you come with me to the village to have a look. My sister has been feeling tight in the chest and short of breath these past few days, and she wants to find a doctor to take a look." Luang Pulan said.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. But let me explain in advance that I have only read medical books and have no experience, so it may not be effective." Zhu Xiancai said.
"Yes, I know. But we have no other choice but to find you. We Miao people are not good at internal medicine, and the doctors sent by you Han people are only good at surgery. We don't know who else to find.
” Luang Pulan said.
"Xin'an Clinic should have a doctor who knows internal medicine." Zhu Xiancai said.
"We also know that there should be Xin'an Station. It is a place where you Han people garrison. There are many Han people. But it is very far from here to Xin'an Station. In the middle, you have to pass Wang Nongshan (Division) and Annan (Division). My sister
There's nothing wrong with it, and I don't think it's necessary to make such a trip. So I'm here to invite you to take a look." Luang Pulan said.
Zhu Xiancai then said hello to Luo Yi and followed Long Pulan out to see a doctor.
After a while they came to the middle of the village and walked into a house next to the big village in the center.
Luang Pulan spoke something in Miao language to the person at the door of the house. The person opened the door, and Luang Pulan led Zhu Xiancai in. The two guards who followed did not go in and were guarding the door.
Soon after walking into the back room, Zhu Xiancai saw a beautiful woman in her twenties lying on the couch, seemingly looking at something. When she saw the two of them coming in, she stood up and said a few words to her sister.
Then he said to Zhu Xiancai: "This must be Princess Anqiu."
Zhu Xiancai was slightly surprised. People here knew that her identity was unusual, but they only knew roughly that she was a royal woman. She was exiled here because she offended her brother. They could not figure out her specific identity, nor did they know her relationship with the capital.
Your Majesty, what is the relationship between King Min of Yongchang? But this woman can accurately tell her title.
Zhu Xiancai asked tentatively: "How come I haven't seen this Sister Long before?"
"Oh, after I got married three years ago, I went to Kunming with my husband to study in a school specially opened for us. I just returned to the village last month."
"I also learned about your title and identity there. When the princess came to Yunnan, the officials in Kunming City were talking about it a lot, so we knew about it," she said.
Zhu Xiancai was relieved. She smiled and said: "Sister Long, just call me Sister Zhu. There is no need to call me a title; and my title has been withdrawn, and now I am just a civilian."
This Miao woman smiled and said nothing. In the three years she has been in Kunming, she has understood the rules of the Han people. Even if the royal family loses its title, it is not something that ordinary people or even ordinary nobles can afford to offend.
"I wonder what Sister Long's name is?" Zhu Xiancai asked while washing her hands in the basin.
"My name is Long Ping'er." she said.
After Zhu Xiancai washed her hands, she put her hand on Long Ping'er's arm to feel her pulse and asked some questions. Long Ping'er answered them one by one. Finally, Zhu Xiancai said: "Sister Long is fine, she is just a little weak. I will prescribe some medicine to try first." Try it, if it doesn’t work I’ll come back and have a look.”
As she spoke, she picked up a pen and paper and wrote a prescription, and then said, "Should I take the medicine, or should I give the prescription to my sister?"
"It's better to trouble Sister Zhu more. If you give us the prescription, we won't have anywhere to get the medicine." Long Ping'er said.
"Okay, I'll go back and grab the medicine. Sister Long will accompany me for another walk to get the medicine back," Zhu Xiancai said.
"Okay. Little sister, please run one more trip and bring the medicine back to my sister." Long Ping'er said.
Luang Pulan agreed and followed Zhu Xiancai out of the house.
After the two of them walked out, a man walked in from the door and said to Long Ping'er: "How is it? What did the doctor say?"
"They said it was nothing serious. They prescribed some medicine and I asked my little sister to go get the medicine," Long Ping'er said.
"That's good." The man let out a sigh of relief: "We just came back from Kunming and you fell ill. Could it be that you have been in Kunming for a long time and have not adapted to the climate of the Third Department of Education?"
"Maybe. But we have to come back to the village." Long Ping'er said: "Zhu Ge, the policies of the Han people have changed a lot in recent years. Although the three departments of education and education are located deep in the mountains, they may not be immune to the influence. Influence."
"After three years in Kunming, I feel that the Di Bao is very useful. All the imperial edicts issued by the Ming Dynasty will be recorded in it. Based on this, we can study what happened in the Ming Dynasty, instead of knowing nothing in the villages."
"But our place is too remote, and the Di newspaper recently had to be found in Xin'an," her husband Wu Zhuge said.
"Send someone to Xin'an every month to buy a newspaper. Three guan of money is enough for the yamen to copy it out of the yamen." Long Ping'er said.
"You'd better not think about these things now. Get well first. Although it's not a serious illness, you should also have a good rest. There's no rush to study the newspaper at this moment." Wu Zhuge said.
