After the feast, Prince Jing invited master and apprentice Xiang Nan to the study.
"Xi Langzhong, I see that your medical skills are extraordinary, why don't you just stay with me and work for me." He said with a smile, "I will get you a sixth-grade official position, with an annual salary of one thousand, and you will be guaranteed glory and wealth, how about ?”
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan bowed and said, "I'm just from a humble background, and I only have some superficial medical skills. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on the important responsibility."
"Hey, Mr. Xi, you don't have to be too modest." Prince Jing said with a smile, "If your medical skills are only superficial, then the medical skills of Tai Hospital will be even less worth mentioning. Stay, stay."
"Yes, Mr. Xi, the prince is very thirsty for talents. He definitely wants to keep you sincerely. Please don't refuse anymore." Lu Zhengming also advised.
"In that case, I would like to thank you for your kindness." Xiang Nan bowed.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing that Xiang Nan really stayed, Prince Jing couldn't help but smile proudly.
"Your Majesty, I still have a family in Cangzhou. Can you let my disciple Defu go back and bring all the children to the capital?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"Of course, of course, of course." Prince Jing said with a smile, "Zhengming, please send someone to follow the young master to bring Xi Langzhong's family to the capital as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Zhengming agreed immediately.
"Hey, by the way, Xi Langzhong, what exactly is it that you asked me to do? Is it convenient to tell you now?" Prince Jing smiled again.
"Your Majesty, it's not time yet. I'll talk about it in a few days." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Okay, you can ask for it whenever you want, and I will definitely satisfy you." Prince Jing said with a smile.
…
Defu immediately returned to Cangzhou with two of Lu Zhengming's companions to pick up Hu Suhua and her party from the capital.
Before leaving, Xiang Nan handed him a letter.
"Son, give this letter to Boss Sai secretly." He instructed, "Remember, don't let your wife see it."
"I understand, Master." Defu smiled and nodded.
…
After Defu left, Xiang Nan stayed in the palace for the next two days.
I usually read medical books, play chess with the prince, and treat patients. I live a relatively happy life.
Prince Jing knew that Xiang Nan liked to read medical books, so he specially collected many rare, unique, and unique medical books in the country and gave them to Xiang Nan to read.
Among them are the Song version of the "Difficult Classic", the Yuan version of the "Huangdi Neijing", the "Unprinted Medical Records of Ye" by the famous doctor Ye Tianshi during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the "Wudi Bian" by the famous doctor Mao Shangpu during the Qianlong period...
"Xi Langzhong, this is the key to the library. You can browse through all the books I have here." Prince Jing also handed the key to Xiang Nandao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
"I still want to thank you." Prince Jing smiled.
In the past few days, many relatives, friends and colleagues from the prince's palace have paid a visit to the miracle doctor, which made him a lot of limelight.
There were even some colleagues who had little contact with him and had a rather cold relationship with him, who were interested in asking Xiang Nan to diagnose their illnesses.
In this way, as Xiang Nan's benefactor, he naturally benefited a lot. After all, no one should owe him a favor!
…
On this day, Xiang Nan was reading in the library.
At this moment, Chang Lin walked in, "Xi Langzhong, there is a fellow from Cangzhou outside the door. He claims to be your friend and wants to visit you."
"Oh?! Fellow Cangzhou fellow?" Xiang Nan was stunned, "What does he look like?"
"Short in stature, with a black mole on his left cheek and a tuft of hair on it," Chang Lin described.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he knew it was Meng Qinghe.
He didn't see it, but after thinking about it, he nodded again, "I'll go out to see him right now."
When I arrived at the door of the Prince's Mansion, I saw Meng Qinghe, talking nonsense to his disciples, "Xi Langzhong and I have a life-long friendship. If we don't see each other for a day, I will feel panicked."
"Hey, Boss Meng, when did our relationship become so good?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire Meng Qinghe's shamelessness.
"Oh, I'm a happy man. After a long drought, I found dew. I met an old friend in a foreign land. I didn't expect that we would meet in the capital." Meng Qinghe immediately came forward to greet him, cupped his hands and smiled.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. Your boss Meng is a famous drug dealer, and I, Xilaile, am just a young doctor. How dare I call you [old friend]?" Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Hey, I'm so happy. As the saying goes, whether the water in your hometown is beautiful or not depends on whether you are close to the people in your hometown. After all, we are also fellow villagers in Cangzhou!" Meng Qinghe said with a smile, "You cured Gege and won glory for us Cangzhou people. , as a Cangzhou native, I’m not happy either.”
Xiang Nan laughed and admired Meng Qinghe's face and eloquence.
Despite his ugly appearance and vicious heart, his mouth is really talkative and his face is indeed thick-skinned. He can be called a model of "thick-faced and black-hearted".
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that despite the turbulent times of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, his business not only did not collapse, but instead grew bigger and bigger, and became more and more popular.
"Okay, Boss Meng, let's be honest. You're here not just to congratulate me." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Otherwise, you can go back first. I have something else to do."
"Oh, it's really a joy to be married to a married woman!" Meng Qinghe said with a smile, "That's right, you have now made a name for yourself in the capital, and you have a reputation as a [miraculous doctor]. If you open Yixiaotang to the capital again, your business will definitely Prosperous.
I want to take advantage of you and do some business with you. I'll sell you my medicinal materials and we'll get 50/50 of the profit. What do you think? "
"Boss Meng, you really exploit every opportunity you see and take advantage of it." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you that the medicine store business can no longer be done. Otherwise, your life may be in danger. "
"It's okay, my snakehead sore has been cured by Mrs. Wang." Meng Qinghe curled his lips and said.
"Really, come, let me take his pulse for you." Xiang Nan took his pulse and nodded with a smile, "Doctor Wang is really good at medical skills. Yes, he is very good at it."
But in fact, he found out that the toxins in Meng Qinghe's body were not completely eliminated. Doctor Wang's prescription must be missing some medicine.
In this way, although Meng Qinghe's snakehead sore has been cured on the surface, it is likely to break out in a year or two. But for such a wicked person, it would be a sin to live one more day, so Xiang Nan didn't bother to remind him.
"That's not as good as you." Meng Qinghe said with a smile, "Everyone in the capital doesn't know that the disease that he couldn't cure was cured by you."
"Uh-huh~" At this moment, someone behind him coughed heavily.
Meng Qinghe looked back and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and saw Wang Tianhe glaring at him.
It’s true that you can’t talk about people during the day and you can’t talk about ghosts at night.
"Master Wang, you are blessed!" he shouted quickly.
"What's the matter, Meng Qinghe, you sell medicine and come to the prince's house?" Wang Tianhe said coldly.
"Aren't we fellow villagers with Xi Langzhong? We can talk to each other casually." Meng Qinghe quickly explained, "Master Wang, I'm taking my leave."
"Hey, Boss Meng, stay here~" Xiang Nan grabbed him and whispered, "I think we can talk about the business you just mentioned."
