"I've already fed my wife the medicine for today, and I'll have someone deliver the medicine tomorrow. I'm a little tired, so I won't bother the magistrate."

Seeing Ji Linglan's pale face and listless expression, Ma Changchun felt even more grateful to him, and quickly said: "If you don't dislike the little genius doctor, why don't you stay at the house tonight, and I'll let someone clean up the guest room."

"No, the magistrate is polite, Xiaomin will leave first." Ji Linglan turned to Zhang Ling and said, "Uncle Zhang, let's go."

"My lord, let's go back first." Zhang Ling greeted Ma Changchun, and helped Ji Linglan to leave.

"Housekeeper, give me a generous gift and send the little genius doctor out."

"Yes, my lord."

Ji Linglan didn't have time to pay attention to these things, his eyes were blackened after being physically exhausted and mentally exhausted, and now he just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep.

Sensing Ji Linglan's abnormality, Lu Jiu took a step forward, carried Ji Linglan on his back, and said, "Master Zhang, let's take a step first."

Lu Jiu didn't wait for Zhang Ling to reply, one flew up the courtyard wall, and the other disappeared without a trace, Zhang Ling was stunned for a while.

Ma Changchun was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Ling, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what is the origin of this little genius doctor, and there is such a master by his side?"

Zhang Ling came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, no matter where Ah Lan came from, he is your savior and my lifesaver, just remember this."

Ma Changchun nodded and said, "Brother Zhang is right, a little genius doctor is a little genius doctor."

Zhang Ling didn't say any more, said goodbye to Ma Changchun, and went home with his servants.

Ji Linglan really experienced the feeling of flying over a wall, but now he was so tired that he didn't have the time to think about it. He lay on Lu Jiu's back, closed his eyes peacefully, and fell asleep within a short time.

Feeling Ji Linglan's even breathing, Lu Jiu turned his head to look, his eyes filled with endless curiosity. Whenever he felt that he knew Ji Linglan well enough, he would inadvertently reveal more things, like An unknown treasure, there is always a new harvest every time you explore it, which is full of curiosity and fatal attraction at the same time.

"Alan, Alan, who are you?"

When Ji Linglan woke up again, it was already early in the morning of the next day, he took out his pocket watch to check the time, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.He sat up abruptly, but his eyes went dark, and he lay back down again. After a while, he returned to normal, and said with a wry smile, "This body is still too weak."

"Squeak", the door was pushed open, and Lu Jiu appeared at the door. Seeing Ji Linglan still lying on the bed, she asked worriedly, "Ah Lan is not feeling well?"

Ji Linglan sat up and explained: "It's okay, it's just that I got nervous just now and got up a little bit violently. Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I got up a little late today."

"Refine today, practice tomorrow."

When Ji Linglan heard this, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was a little dazed. The last time he felt this way, it seemed to be in middle school. At that time, although he was tall, his physical strength was not good enough, and he failed every physical examination. Edge hovers.Although there is no physical examination in the college entrance examination, many examples show that in addition to consuming mental power, the examination also consumes a lot of physical energy.In order to be admitted to the ideal university, he would get up early and go for a morning jog every day since the second year of high school, and this habit continued until he started working.Every time it rains on a cloudy day, he always quietly breathes a sigh of relief, because this is an excuse for him to finally be lazy.What Ji Linglan didn't expect was that his current psychology was different from what he had imagined at the beginning. What Ji Linglan didn't expect was that after so many years, he would experience it again.

Ji Linglan lay back on the bed again, adjusted a comfortable posture, and said, "Then I'll sleep a little longer, and I won't have breakfast."

"No. If you want to sleep, after breakfast, wash and go to bed."

Lu Jiu's tone was the same as when his mother told him to get up when he was a student.

Ji Linglan suddenly came to his senses. He performed an operation on the magistrate's wife yesterday, and he was sweating all over his body. It seemed that he hadn't washed it yet.Ji Linglan raised her arm and smelled it, then sat up obediently, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Well, Brother Lu, please ask them to prepare bath water for me. I'd better wash first, and then go have breakfast."

A smile flashed in Lu Jiu's eyes when he saw this, and he turned around and left the room after responding.

Ji Linglan took a nice hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and immediately felt refreshed.Because he missed the time for breakfast, Zhang Ling specially asked his servants to deliver the food to the plum garden, and told Ji Linglan to rest well.

After Ji Linglan had breakfast, she asked Daniel to find a small porcelain bottle the size of a palm, mixed some anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics with water, and ordered Daniel to send it to the magistrate's wife.He also sent a message to Ma Changchun, if the wife of the magistrate's incision became suppurative, he must be notified immediately, and if nothing happened, he would come to the door in seven days to remove the stitches for the wife of the magistrate.

Ma Changchun asked the housekeeper to come to thank him with generous gifts, and Zhang Ling sent them to Bitaoyuan, 100 taels of gold, 500 taels of silver, various kinds of cloth, etc., which filled the hall.

Ji Linglan looked at the things in front of her, and then at Lu Jiu beside her. She was sweating in her heart for Ma Changchun. She was so generous with her actions. She should be greedy at ordinary times. Sending them to the imperial guards is equivalent to telling him Your Majesty...

Lu Jiu was quick-witted, so he naturally understood what Ji Linglan meant. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Ah Lan, don't look at me. My task now is to protect you. The rest are not within the scope of my duties. These things are yours. What you deserve, just keep it."

The magistrate's wound recovered very well, and no symptoms of suppuration and inflammation appeared. Ji Linglan sent Daniel to deliver medicine every day. Seven days later, Ji Linglan came to the magistrate's wife to remove the stitches, and was warmly received by Ma Changchun.Ji Linglan couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to stay in the magistrate's yamen for a meal. Fortunately, Zhang Ling stood in his way, so Ji Linglan only had to respond occasionally.

The news that the magistrate's wife was rescued from dystocia somehow spread. Many people heard that Zhang's family had come to see a miracle doctor, and they came to ask for an appointment.Even though Zhang Ling shied away in every possible way, there was still an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment. Ji Linglan saw that there was no way out, so she bid farewell to Zhang Ling and prepared to return to Yongping Town to settle down.

Mrs. Zhang took Ji Linglan's hand and asked, "Ah Lan really wants to leave? But we didn't take good care of him?"

Ji Linglan quickly explained: "Ma'am, you and Uncle Zhang are sincere to me. I am as comfortable as at home here. It's just that I have made an agreement with others that I want to settle down in Yongping Town. I can't break my promise. Pingzhen is only a day's journey away from here, if you and Uncle Zhang miss me, send someone a message, and I will come in a carriage."

"Then why do you want to settle down in Yongping Town? Isn't Ancheng good? If Ah Lan is not used to living here, then let your Uncle Zhang buy you a house alone and buy some servants. You are in front of you, and we will take care of you. Take it easy, too."

Zhang Ling also echoed: "Yes, Ah Lan, we have long regarded you as a son, and we are always worried when you are not around."

"My friend is not in good health and cannot travel long distances, and I don't want to go to the capital, so I made an agreement with him to settle down in Yongping Town, so that when he comes to find me, he only needs to take an hour's carriage, and his illness will not be affected. " Ji Linglan paused, and then said: "I know how Uncle Zhang and his wife treated me, and I am grateful, but one needs to be honest. Once you agree, there is no room for regret. Look at Uncle Zhang. Forgive me, madam."

Seeing that Ji Linglan insisted on leaving, Zhang Ling and Mrs. Zhang couldn't force him to stay. Before Ji Linglan left, they gave him a dozen banknotes and packed a carriage of things. let go.

Ji Linglan and Lu Jiu started their journey early in the morning and arrived at Yongping Town at three o'clock in the afternoon.As usual, they settled in that inn, the two of them took a rest, then asked the shopkeeper where the shop was going, and then walked over.

The tooth shop is equivalent to the intermediary in ancient times, between buyers and sellers, and after the transaction is successful, a certain commission is drawn.

Although Yongping Town is only a town, it has all internal organs and everything it should have.The dental shop is two blocks south of the inn.The two came to the door, looked up at the signboard, and walked in directly.

When the clerk in the store saw a customer coming to the door, he quickly greeted him enthusiastically: "What do you two guests want to buy? We can arrange everything for you here, from maids and servants to buying houses and land."

Ji Linglan said bluntly: "I want to buy a house, I just need to buy two houses. It's better not to be too biased."

"What a coincidence that you came here. A few days ago, the only two-entry house was just sold. Now we only have one-entry and three-entry houses."

"Sold?" Ji Linglan and Lu Jiu looked at each other, and said, "How much is the yard of Sanjin?"

"There is only one courtyard for three entrances. It was the house of the Wang family, a well-known wealthy family in Yongping Town. Not long ago, the eldest son of the Wang family took the old couple to Liaodong, and this house was vacant. Entrust us to resell the dental shop. Although the house is an old house, it was refurbished two years ago and has all the furniture, so the price may be more expensive."

"How much, tell me the real price. If we can accept it, we will buy it. If we can't accept it, let it be. There is no righteousness in buying and selling."

"Young Master Kan is also an honest person. How about it, the price is 500 taels. If you think it is good, I will take you to see the house now."

Ji Linglan looked at Lu Jiu. So far, he has no idea about the prices here. Since he crossed over, Fu Nanling is almost responsible for eating, drinking, and sleeping, except that he went shopping with Fu Nanling a few days ago. The next day, he didn't spend any money at all.

Lu Jiu said lightly: "Mansions in Kyoto are not so expensive, you really dare to open your mouth like a lion."

"How do you know the price of a mansion in Kyoto? Our tooth shop is a time-honored brand in Yongping Town, and it is absolutely innocent! And there is only this courtyard with three entrances. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

"150 taels, if it's successful, it's up to the house; if it's not, we'll leave." Lu Jiu didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave the reserve price.

When the guy heard this, he frowned, and said, "Master, you are playing tricks on the little ones. It is only natural to bargain, but there is no such thing as you, who directly cut off [-]% of the little ones."

"The three-entry yard in the suburbs of Kyoto is only at this price, and 150 taels is enough for you. It's still the same sentence, if it's OK, we'll look at the house; if it's not, we'll leave." Lu Jiu's attitude was firm, without leaving any room for it.

The clerk looked Lu Jiu up and down, and said tentatively, "Master, according to your tone, you are from Kyoto?"

Lu Jiu frowned, pulled Ji Linglan's arm, and said, "Ah Lan, let's go."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said: "Okay, anyway, this Yongping Town is not too big, let's go around, maybe we can meet someone we like, it's cheaper than this dental shop."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, the man hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and said, "Young masters, our dental office is the only one in Yongping Town, and all buyers and sellers of houses are registered with us. You can't break our rules, right?" .Do you two sincerely want to buy a house?"

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Of course I want to buy it, but you guys are too dishonest."

"Yes, the two of you are the first order today. The younger one will help you to ask the shopkeeper to see how much the house can be sold for. You two will come later, and the younger one will come right away."

After the clerk finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Ji Linglan and Lu Jiu alone in the store.

Ji Linglan said with a smile: "It seems that the business of this dental shop is not good. I'm afraid that we will lose our big order and even lose the store."

Lu Jiu didn't speak, but just smiled slightly.

Ji Linglan approached Lu Jiu and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lu, can 150 taels really buy a three-entry house?"

Lu Jiu nodded and said, "Not in Kyoto, but here."

Ji Linglan said dissatisfiedly: "This dental shop is too dark, and the price has been raised by [-]%!"

"They all watch people order dishes." Lu Jiu looked at Ji Linglan's clothes and said, "Although your clothes look plain, they are made of brocade. This is a tribute, only a few of the royal family People can use it. Although they don't recognize it, they can see that the material is valuable."

Ji Linglan tugged at the clothes on her body in a daze, and said after a while, "Is this material a tribute?"

Lu Jiu said truthfully: "Yes, there are only a dozen pieces of cloth produced every year, and many concubines in the palace have never used them."

Ji Linglan was shocked and had no choice but to say: "Ah Ling, if I appear in front of the emperor wearing this outfit, it will be really..."

As Ji Linglan was talking, she suddenly stopped, and then said with a wry smile: "Now I finally understand why Mr. Pang asked me so many times that day, most likely it was because of my clothes."

Lu Jiu was stunned, and then said: "Eunuch Pang has been with the emperor for many years, and he can recognize this fabric at a glance. It is reasonable to question you more."

Ji Linglan asked dumbfoundedly: "Brother Lu, aren't my clothes all made of brocade?"

"There are a few of them. The reason why Yunjin is called Yunjin is because the cloth woven from it is made into clothes and worn on the body, and there will be flowing cloud-like patterns when walking. Although the colors of these cloths may be different, it is very important to make clothes. when you can't embroider."

"Oh, I see, I'll go back and take a closer look later."

Footsteps sounded, the two stopped talking and looked towards the backyard.The shop assistant came out first, followed by a middle-aged man about 40 years old.

"Shopkeeper, these are the two sons."

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the names of the two young masters are?"

Ji Linglan replied: "My surname is Ji, his surname is Lu."

"It turned out to be Mr. Ji and Mr. Lu, sorry for your disrespect." The shopkeeper bowed his hands politely, and said, "This house has just been repaired not long ago, and there are all the utensils in it. You can live in it immediately after moving in. The location is good. In the southeast of the town, the Wang family not only has a prosperous population, but also has a magistrate, which is enough to show that the fortune of this house is good..."

The shopkeeper was very talkative, and he praised every aspect of the house, which made Ji Linglan's blood boil for a while. If he hadn't been sober-headed, he might have bought it on impulse.

Lu Jiu was a little impatient, and said, "150 taels, will it work?"

The shopkeeper was interrupted, frowned slightly, and then said: "200 taels, no second price!"

Lu Jiu didn't say a word when she heard the words, and directly pulled Ji Linglan out without even looking at her.Ji Linglan let him drag him out of the house. He was really not good at buying and selling, so it was Lu Jiu, a local who made up his mind, so he wouldn't suffer.

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly chased him out, saying: "Hey, don't leave, 180 taels, 180 taels is already the base price, if it is any lower, we will have to lose money."

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of staying at all, the shopkeeper gritted his molars and said, "Sure, 150 taels, just 150 taels!"

Lu Jiu stopped, looked at Ji Linglan and smiled slightly, then turned and walked back.

The shopkeeper said painfully: "This young man is really good at bargaining. We didn't earn a penny from this transaction. It was a waste of all our energy and saliva."

Lu Jiu didn't respond, and said bluntly, "We want to see the house. If it's not as good as you said, we won't buy this house."

"That's right, what is the young master talking about, I will do a good job for the shopkeeper today." The shopkeeper looked at the waiter at the side, and said: "Sanshui, take the two young masters to see the house."

"Yes, little one, let's go."

Ji Linglan and Lu Jiu followed Sanshui to the southeast. After walking about three blocks, they saw a big house.The vermilion gate is closed tightly, with two black rings on it, and two stone lions about 30 cm high are placed on both sides of the gate.Whether it is the wall or the gate, the color looks very new, and it really looks like it has just been renovated not long ago.

Sanshui opened the door with the key, looked back at the two of them, and said, "You two, please."

The two entered the street gate one after the other, facing the screen wall with lotus and koi carved on it, implying that the carp jumping over the dragon gate will lead to prosperity.Entering the house, there are five inverted rooms on both sides of the street gate, all of similar size. From east to west, they are the gatehouse, accountant's room, outer living room, and two servant's rooms.

On both sides of the Hanging Flower Gate are hand-painted verandahs, and when you enter, you will find the courtyard of the second entrance, in which several unknown flowers and plants are planted. There are two side rooms on the east and west sides, three main rooms facing north, and two side rooms on both sides of the main room. Two weeping willows were planted in front of the main house.

Behind the main house are five back rooms, commonly known as the backyard, where the family members of the owner of the house live.

After walking around for so long, Ji Linglan is very satisfied with the house, mainly because of the price. Such a big house, in modern times, would be considered a luxury house. Let alone buying it, he might not even be able to afford to rent it.

Sanshui led the two of them around, and said with a smile, "Are you two satisfied?"

Ji Linglan hesitated and said, "It's not bad. Brother Lu, since the price has been agreed, let's buy this place."

Lu Jiu responded, "Well, it's just a bit old, let's renovate it later."

Ever since they entered the house, both of them looked expressionless. He really wasn't sure whether the deal would be successful. Hearing what they said, Sanshui felt relieved.

"Since the two sons have decided to buy it, let's go back to the tooth shop and pay the deposit, and tomorrow we will go to the yamen to sign the documents together."

Ji Linglan looked at Lu Jiu, and seeing that he had no objection, she responded.

Back at Yaxing, Lu Jiu asked to see the title deed and house deed of the house. After confirming the authenticity, he paid the deposit and wrote the certificate.After this tossing, when the two returned to the inn, it was already dark.

"Brother Lu, that house is really nice. Once the paperwork is done, let's clean it up, buy some new bedding, and then we can move in."

"Well, it's really good. With such a big house, has Ah Lan ever thought about buying a servant?"

"No need! I'm used to being alone, and I really don't want to be around anyone." Ji Linglan paused, and said, "Of course, Brother Lu is an exception. I still have to learn kung fu from Brother Lu."

A smile appeared in Lu Jiu's eyes, and he said, "Then Ah Lan, have you ever thought about what to do for a living?"

"I want to be an office worker, but I can't afford to be an office worker in this town."

"Isn't Ah Lan good at medicine? You can set up a shop in the town and open a clinic."

"I can't open a clinic with my little medical skills. I can't even name the medicinal materials, let alone their medicinal value."

"A-Lan saved the magistrate's wife who all the doctors were helpless. That's two lives, isn't it?"

"Brother Lu doesn't know something. It's just a coincidence that I can save you. If there are other situations, even if I'm there, it's useless." Ji Linglan was not dazzled by those two successes. , or other situations, with the equipment he currently has, even if he can save it, there is nothing he can do.

"Then what kind of medicine did Ah Lan send to the magistrate's wife? It is said that apart from a slight bitter taste, there is no other peculiar smell, which is quite different from the usual medicine."

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry, the prescription is a secret, I can't tell."

Lu Jiu nodded and said, "Since it's a secret, I won't ask about it. You still have a lot of money on you, so you can think about what to do for a living, don't worry."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

After dinner, the two chatted for a while, then lay down on the bed and went to sleep separately.In the early morning of the second day, they came to the dental shop and went to the Yamen with the shopkeeper to do the paperwork. After a whole morning, the house belonged to Ji Linglan.As for why it was done so quickly, of course it was the result of spending money.

Ji Linglan and Lu Jiu simply had lunch, and then drove the carriage to the street to shop. After a whole afternoon, they finally bought all the things they wanted to buy. They were busy tidying up the house again until eight o'clock in the evening. It's tidy up.

Standing in the yard, Ji Linglan looked around, stretched her waist in a relaxed way, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, thanks to your help, if I were by myself, I would definitely have to work for several days."

Lu Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be polite with me."

"Success, don't be polite to Brother Lu." Ji Linglan said with emotion: "After wandering for so long, I finally have a decent home."

Ji Linglan didn't say this to herself, but to the original owner of this body. No matter where his soul went, Ji Linglan could be regarded as a home for him here.

Lu Jiu didn't speak, but looked at Ji Linglan with distressed eyes.

"Brother Lu, it's getting late, let's get something to eat, it's also a celebration of my housewarming."

"it is good."

Ji Linglan and Lu Jiu went to the kitchen, took out the vegetables they bought in the afternoon, fried, fried, stewed, and made a table of dishes. The portion of each dish was not large, because they were afraid of wasting.Finally, ten pieces of scallion pancakes were baked, and the two of them sat down at the dining table with the chicken soup that had been simmering for an hour.

Seeing a table full of dishes, Ji Linglan took out the jug under the table, poured a glass for Lu Jiu, and said, "Brother Lu, you are happy today, so you can have a few glasses."

Lu Jiu didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Congratulations to A Lan on her housewarming."

Ji Linglan poured herself a cup of tea, clinked glasses with Lu Jiu, and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu."

Lu Jiu knew that Ji Linglan was not good at drinking, so he didn't force it, so he drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Ji Linglan gave it to Lu Jiuman again, and said, "Brother Lu, since we met, you have been helping me all the time. Ah Lan is very grateful. I respect Brother Lu for this cup."

Lu Jiu raised his glass to meet Ji Linglan, and raised his head to drink the wine in the glass.

Ji Linglan took a piece of chicken and put it into Lu Jiu's bowl, and said, "Brother Lu, eat quickly. I forgot about it when I was happy just now. Drinking on an empty stomach is easy to get drunk and hurts your body. You should eat some quickly."

"No problem." Lu Jiu picked up the chopsticks and put the chicken in the bowl into her mouth.

Ji Linglan also picked up a piece of tofu and ate it. She casually picked up a topic and said, "I remember when we first met, Brother Lu once said that I resemble an old friend of yours. I don't know who this old friend is. How are we similar?"

"His name is Ah Xin. He is from the house. He is an orphan like me. He was adopted by his adoptive father and joined the government with me. It is a pity that he died unfortunately during a mission."

Ji Linglan twitched her mouth in frustration, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I brought up your sadness."

"It's okay, it's been a few years, and I've already put it down, but every time I think about the past, I still miss him. You and his temperament are very similar, and he is as kind as you. It's because of his kindness that he was careless. Someone else's way, lost their lives." Lu Jiu took the jug, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said: "Ah Xin is kind-hearted, even if he loses his life, he probably won't regret it. It's just that he was unlucky and paid the wrong person."

Lu Jiu looked at Ji Linglan suddenly in a daze, as if he had returned to that sad day. Ah Xin was lying in his arms covered in blood, his bright eyes gradually dimmed, but there was still a smear on the corner of his mouth. laugh.

"You are indeed very similar to him. Before he died, he said the same thing."

"That's a pity. If he is still alive, maybe we can become confidants." Ji Linglan refilled a cup of tea for herself, and said, "Brother Lu, let's toast Ah Xin, and hope that he can find a good family in the next life. Forever in peace."

"Respect Ah Xin."

Lu Jiu raised his wine glass, and then they each spilled the wine and tea on the ground.

The two chatted while eating, like old friends for many years. They couldn't finish talking, and they didn't put down their chopsticks until it was time to clean up the leftovers.It was too late, and it was too troublesome to boil water, and they didn't buy a bathtub, so the two of them simply washed with cold water, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
