221. The Examination Begins

Xu Xiaole sent Han Tongzhi away, and then found Dai Simon to be a coolie. He pulled a rope a hundred steps outside the room and set up a notice indicating that there were patients with tuberculosis inside. Anyone who entered the room must wear a burqa to protect his mouth and nose. When he came out, he must cleanse his hands and burn the burqa to avoid contagious tuberculosis.

The mountain people here know that this is a place where Taoists are in seclusion and will not come here to collect firewood and collect herbs during their spare time. However, just in case, Xu Xiaole still asked Dai Simeng to inform him everywhere. He only said safety matters to pay attention to when entering and leaving, and did not say that they were not allowed to enter and exit. Instead, the mountain people were not very curious. They were also afraid of contracting tuberculosis and did not have the spare time to buy a full set of clothes, so they naturally would not go in.

After completing these things, Xu Xiaole went down the mountain. He couldn't wait on the mountain tonight for too long. Tomorrow is the day for the ambassador of the pharmacy exam, so he has to have a good rest when he goes back.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Xiaole did not visit Tan Gongchao's home after all. In fact, because he was too busy with too much work, he didn't even ask what subjects he took. So he didn't know whether to take the classics, identify medicinal materials, or find some patients to treat them.

People often say that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. However, martial arts can be used on the arena, and the writing quality is considered by oneself, but the level of medical skills cannot be determined.

However, with Xu Xiaole's heart, since he couldn't think of it, he simply stopped thinking about it. He took the time to go home and reported to his sister-in-law and sisters what he was busy with these days. He left a bunch of snacks he bought in Suzhou City and returned to Changchun Hall.

Li Xiqiang and Gu Xuan were more concerned about this than him. When they were in the clinic, they wanted to tell him some rumors on the market.

Xu Xiaole was impatient and said, "What's there to speculate? I'll know if I go to the county medical department tomorrow?"

Li Xiqiang had to give up, but Gu Xuan was still a little unwilling to accept it.

Xu Xiaole returned to the room and took advantage of the fact that it was not too late to practice the guidance technique. Then, following the instructions of Master Wu and Dai Simeng, he practiced the light body lifting technique. He felt a little tired and went to bed. After sleeping until dawn, the movements of the guys getting up came from outside.

Xu Xiaole turned over and jumped out of bed, feeling refreshed, and said intimately: Today is another good day!

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Huang Ren holding a copper basin, his eyelids were still swollen, and he obviously didn't sleep well. Chen Mingyuan was holding a cotton towel in both hands, Qin Kang was holding a glass of clean water, and the other hand was holding a boar bristle toothbrush.

Xu Xiaole looked confused and said, "What are you doing?"

Chen Mingyuan smiled and said, "We are here to strengthen our journey for the sir."

Before Chen Mingyuan could finish his speech, Li Jinfang came over early. Seeing that Xu Xiaole had not washed up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and smiled, "Mr. Xu, everyone is waiting for you to come back in your official uniform."

Xu Xiaole smiled and took the breakfast directly. It was the hot brown sugar pancake. He ate and said, "I don't know how they take the exam yet."

In the past, the Ministry of Rites and Imperial Hospital took the exam for medical students and medical students in writing, and the key was whether the classics were memorized.

These people did not go to see a doctor when they entered the Imperial Hospital, but learned their skills from the elderly and virtuous imperial doctors. Now they directly took the exam to directly select the ambassador of the pharmacy bureau, which is an official who serves the people, and obviously cannot follow the written exam method.

Xu Xiaole washed his face and brushed his teeth after eating the cake, then drove away the four apprentices and did his own morning class. Now, guiding techniques have become his daily habit. If he doesn't practice his limbs and bones for a day, it feels like he is stiff and uncomfortable. As for the main purpose of replenishing kidney qi, Xu Xiaole has forgotten it a little.

After practicing the guidance technique, Xu Xiaole finally rode on the Mo Jing and went to the county medical department.

The County Medical Office and the County Government are on the same street. This time, because they alarmed too many people, the chief examiner was a professor of medicine in the prefecture. One of the two deputy examiners was Tan Gongchao from the Wuxian County Medical Office, and the other deputy examiner was appointed by the Changzhou County Medical Office, Wuxian and Changzhou County were originally affiliated with Guoxian County in Suzhou Prefecture.

Xu Xiaole changed into the straight-fitting dress, rode the ink spirit, comforted Pipi, and happily went to the county medical department.

When there were two streets away from the county medical department, Xu Xiaole found something wrong. The streets were full of porters carrying carriages, which were as lively as if they were going to the market. Seeing their faces full of bright smiles, it seemed that they had taken on a good job.

Xu Xiaole couldn't help calling the porter and asked, "What's the fun here today? Why are there so many people?"

The porter looked at him and said, "Today there is a test for the county medical department, and all the doctors from all over the country are here."

Xu Xiaole was surprised: "So many people?"

Naturally, he didn't believe in the exaggerated words of "there are no doctors in the village"! But just counting the carriage in front of him, there are at least twenty or thirty pictures here!

One person and one carriage, that is twenty or thirty. Moreover, doctors are not necessarily required to sit on carriage, as well as walking, riding a carriage, boat, and riding mules... The range of the exam this time is really wide!

Xu Xiaole couldn't figure it out, where did they find so many doctors?

It was difficult to find a doctor to see a doctor before, but now so many people are coming out, where are they hiding before? He scratched his head, thinking that there were only three or five people, but now there are so many people, and I don’t know how to take the test.

The more Xu Xiaole walked in front, the more people there were. Thinking about it, doctors were at least high-income people. There were not many doctors like him who went out without servants or apprentices. When those doctors entered the county medical department, their families had to wait outside and immediately filled the not-so-spacious streets.

Xu Xiaole kept the mojing in an inn and gave a few big money to ask the shop assistant to take care of him. He walked to the front of the crowd, took a deep breath, and plunged into the crowd like a thrust, and separated the bustling people and finally squeezed to the door of the county medical department.

There were so many people gathering in one place, and the county government was not far away. The county magistrate Fang had already sent people to guard it to avoid accidents.

The gatekeeper was about to drive the untidy boy away, but some of them finally recognized Xu Xiaole, who was Constable Lei. He stopped his partner who was about to take action, led Xu Xiaole in, and said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao Xu, why did you come?"

Xu Xiaole gasped and touched the hair towel first. Fortunately, she didn't squeeze it out, otherwise she would have to go in with her head bare head. He tidied up his clothes and said in fear: "I came here by stepping on it, is it too late?"

While pushing Xu Xiaole in gently, Constable Lei said, "My little master, go in quickly. The examiner has been in the hall, so you dare to step on it."

Xu Xiaole thought to himself: Then you didn’t say you wanted to come early in your post!

He was a little anxious, but after passing the foyer, he saw many people standing on both sides of the front yard. These people were all wearing exquisite cloth robes, obviously ordinary people, but they were all pampered. They looked like rich men, of course, they were the doctors who came to take this exam.

Seeing that the exam had not started yet, Xu Xiaole finally breathed a sigh of relief.
