Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 103
Chai Sujin got up quickly, took the inkstone, put it on her desk, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, what's your name?"

"My surname is Hu. Dr. Chai is so young when he first came here. Before entering the imperial medical office, he was known by everyone because of his treatment of the young master of the prime minister's residence. Since then, many people have been curious about you." Imperial Physician Hu smiled, lowered his voice, and approached her and said, "You know, jealousy in people's hearts is also a disease, and it is the most difficult to cure."

He also winked at Chai Sujin playfully.

Chai Sujin couldn't help laughing, and thanked him.

Imperial Physician Hu waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks. Losing things may not be valuables, but they are commonly used things, which are the most annoying. It will inevitably affect the mood. If you lose something that you need to see a doctor, then It's even more troublesome. It's not that Dr. Chai is afraid of these people! It's not worth it to affect my mood."

Chai Sujin nodded repeatedly, "I don't want to cause trouble, if possible, I would rather live in harmony with everyone."

Imperial Physician Hu nodded again and again, "I know, I know, but your matter... is really special. Everyone in the Imperial Medical Office is in contact with dignitaries. The more so, the more aloof and aloof. Everyone sees that you have been exalted. , it is unlikely to get close to you, but it is easier to alienate you and isolate you. It seems that there is still a long way to go if you want to live in harmony."

Chai Sujin frowned, she didn't want to waste energy on such trivial matters.

"If you want to avoid such unnecessary troubles, there is no way out." Doctor Hu said.

"You have a solution?" Chai Sujin raised his eyebrows, and looked at this doctor Hu again.

Imperial Physician Hu stroked his beard and smiled, "It's not a brilliant idea either. There are small medicine boys for sale in the Imperial Medical Office. The little medicine boys bought from the Imperial Medical Office can be taken with you at any time, carry a medicine box, and take care of things. , are very convenient. It is allowed to enter and exit the Imperial Medical Office, but the price is not low. There are quite a few people who use the Imperial Medical Office, you should have seen the cafeteria."

Chai Sujin nodded, is there still such a job in the Imperial Medical Office?She hadn't noticed it before.

Although she learned medical skills from her master, but on weekdays, the master came to teach at the princess' mansion or the son-in-law's mansion, and she didn't often come to the imperial medical office.

"Is this the Imperial Medical Bureau's own business?" She asked casually.

Imperial Physician Hu stroked his beard, frowned slightly and thought for a while, "Well, it seems that yes, besides the money allocated by the imperial court, the Imperial Medical Office also has a lot of expenses that need to be spent. If it can have its own financial entrance, it will have more cash on hand. Be more generous. This is a rule established by the medicine boy who was personally ordered by the imperial physician, so no one questioned it. Doctor Chai thinks it is wrong?"

Chai Sujin shook her head quickly, "I'm a newcomer, how dare I feel wrong? It's just a question out of curiosity! Thank you, Physician Hu, I'll go and have a look."

Physician Hu nodded, then turned around and left.

Chai Sujin keenly found that after talking to her for a while, other people seemed to look at Doctor Hu with disgust and rejection.

She rubbed the ink stick lightly, and the atmosphere in the room was oppressive and stagnant.

The pen was dipped in ink, but she was not in the mood to write.Writing probably also depends on mood, and right now, she has no mood at all.

Simply throwing away the pen, she got up and left the house, and went to find the place where the drug boy was bought.

This is an independent yard in the Imperial Medical Office. The yard is not small and a bit noisy.

There are a few senior herbalists leading a dozen young children each, identifying various medicinal materials and explaining how to prepare them.

The young children couldn't sit still, they listened and whispered, and there was no lack of noise in the yard.

"Hey, this is the youngest imperial physician who just came to the Imperial Medical Office, Imperial Physician Chai?" Someone saw Chai Sujin at the door and greeted him.

Chai Sujin cupped her hands and smiled, "That's right, Chai Wan, just call me Doctor Chai."

"You came here to buy a medicine boy?" The person smiled and cupped his hands, his attitude was much better than her colleagues.

"Yes, I heard that the medicine boy purchased directly from the imperial medical office can be taken with me to the imperial medical office at any time?" Chai Sujin nodded.

The man nodded again and again, "Exactly, the imperial physicians are so obsessed with medical skills, some of them are careless in other things, or they leave things in the noble lord's womb, or forget to bring the medical records, forget the medical records, or forget to bring medical records. Bring a pen and ink... or carry a medicine box with a meal, and have a medicine boy by your side, it will be much more convenient, and one more person will remind you at any time, so as not to make any mistakes. It is still for the consideration of the imperial physicians, That's why it's arranged."

Chai Sujin nodded.

"And you see, all the medicine boys here are specially instructed by someone who teaches the knowledge of medicinal materials, and they can be used when they are brought with them. Of course, the ones bought outside are not comparable at all. Although the price is a bit more expensive, you can use them without worry. Ah! And the family backgrounds of these people have been screened and considered by the Imperial Medical Office, so they are clean and safe to carry with you." The man smiled, "Don't you think so?"

Chai Sujin nodded, "Yes, please recommend one for me."

The man immediately led her to see a few medicine boys, and the medicine boys looked at her with anticipation and a little timidity.

However, when a little boy who looked thinner and younger looked at her, his eyes were pure and clean, with a bright smile on his face.

Chai Sujin couldn't help being moved by his smile, and stopped in front of him, "What's your name?"

"Back to master, slaves don't have names." Xiao Yaotong said with a smile.

"I see that everyone else is depressed and depressed, why are you smiling so happily?" Chai Sujin asked.

The little medicine boy scratched his head, "Mr. taught too many medicinal materials today, and we can't remember many of them. They are probably worried that they will be punished if they don't memorize them at night."

"Then why are you happy? Aren't you afraid?" Chai Sujin looked at his smile, as if the impetuous turmoil in his heart could not help but calm down, and he became more patient.

The little drug boy shook his head, "There was a flood in my hometown, and my parents drowned to protect our brothers. Our brothers also separated later, and I was brought to the capital by human traffickers, and then sold to I am here from the imperial medical office. I have enough to eat, I still have things to learn, and I can read. This is all for me with the life of my parents. Compared with those who were drowned in the flood, I feel that everyone who is alive now One day is full of the emperor's grace, a gift from heaven. I am full of gratitude, how can a slave be unhappy?"

Chai Sujin stared blankly at the child, and was instantly moved by his words. His smile seemed to be more dazzling than the afternoon sun, pointing directly at people's hearts.

The word "thank you" is so good.

At such a young age, he can see it more thoroughly than many adults.

Isn't every day she lives now a gift from God?Don't we need to be more grateful?
"I want him." Chai Sujin pointed to the little drug boy and said.

The people on the side nodded quickly and brought the roster, "Number [-], so that Doctor Chai can know that although this child is young, he has stayed with us for a year and a half and learned a lot, so his price is very special." Higher."

The man said with a sneer.

Doctor Chai looked down at the price he had written on the paper, frowning slightly.

The little drug boy was a little nervous immediately, "The slave will serve the master well! The slave has a good memory. If the master is afraid of forgetting something, I will tell the slave, and the slave will not dare to neglect it. With the slave by his side, the master can rest easy gone."

"Just him." Seeing the little drug boy's nervous expression, she couldn't bear it.

It's just that the price of this drug boy is more than twenty times higher than buying a servant outside.

She seldom cares about such things, but she is not ignorant of the market.The business of the Tai Medical Department is really huge profits.

Children were bought cheaply from outside, and after a little training, they were sold at prices ten or twenty times higher.The middle price difference is not a small amount.

It's just that all the expenses of the Imperial Medical Office are supported by the imperial court, and the academy of the Imperial Medical Office also has a lot of income.

According to Imperial Physician Hu, this business was arranged and arranged by the Imperial Physician Order, so most of the profits and money gained should go into the pocket of the Imperial Physician Order, right?

Master doesn't seem like a person who is greedy for glory, wealth, and enjoyment. What does he want so much money for?
After completing the formalities, Chai Sujin took the little drug boy back.

The little drug boy followed behind her, humming a little tune involuntarily.

"You don't have a name?" Chai Sujin asked softly, walking slowly ahead.

"We had them at home, but when they were bought and sold, the dental dealers said that we were not allowed to have names, so that the master who bought us could give us a name, so that he could treat us as his own." Xiaoyaotong Gao He said happily, "The master also gave the slave a name?"

Chai Sujin stopped and looked back at him.

He looked back at Chai Sujin with sparkling eyes, his chin slightly retracted, kind and lovely yet respectful.

"At such a young age, I know it's good to be grateful. Let's call it Nian En." Chai Sujin said slowly.
