"Cheng City is changing," Nan Hua said quietly.
Imperial Doctor Si smiled. "Yes. But no matter what, many things will remain the sa even after His Majesty left. For us Imperial Doctors, we just have to do our work and not do anything unnecessary."
They didn't have any political power and despite the fact that they were respected, these Imperial Doctors were on valued for their skills. As long as their skills were sufficient, it would be good enough for them to make a na for themselves.
As for power?
What kind of power do they want?
At most, these Imperial Doctors would like the money that they received as remuneration. Among the doctors, the Imperial Doctor's treatnt could be said to be the best and many of them could live a comfortable life. "Yes." Nan Hua nodded. The two of them saw that Old Madam Long and Old Master Nan would not finish their scolding anyti soon, so they choose to continue talking about the dicine. The few herbs that Old Madam Long found were interesting and rarely used in dicine, so the two of them have so ideas about how to develop it. After another incense stick of ti, Imperial Doctor Si finally left.
He is Old Madam Long's disciple, so people would not say anything if he went and paid a visit to Old Madam Long. But this doesn't an that he could spend the entire day in the Long Family Residence anymore.
In the past, he could do that because he was learning under Old Madam Long.
Now?
If he said that he was leaning again, many people would not believe him and would discuss this matter. Being an Imperial Family Doctor, Imperial Doctor Si knew that many people would watch over him. Yes, Imperial Family Doctor didn't have any political power.
But they could attend the court eting as doctor to watch over the officials' health and so people also didn't have much defense against him in their heart. So so of them would like to get more information from these Imperial Doctors.
The problem is, these Imperial Family Doctors were selected among the best and many of them would never say anything unnecessary. They knew very well that any mistake would put their lives in danger.
So they would just do their job well as a doctor and not get involved in any other matters. "What do you think of my disciple, Hua'er?" Old Madam Long asked with a smile. "His knowledge is not bad, right?"
She would not say anything about their practice skills since it was impossible to show it without treating soone for real. And Old Madam Long didn't really want the two of them to go out and treat soone.
But pure knowledge would be fine. "Yes, Grandma." Nan Hua nodded in agreent.
She could tell that Imperial Doctor Si has a lot of knowledge. But he himself was no longer that young and it was unknown how many more years could he work as the Imperial Doctor.
He himself also planned to retire soon.
"Now, can you stop pulling my granddaughter to talk about dicine?" Old Master Nan's lips twitched when he saw Old Madam Long seed as if she was not done yet.
"I can talk about anything I want with my granddaughter," Old Madam Long said willfully.
Old Master Nan's face turned dark.
Damn it.
He really wanted to beat up this annoying woman right now. "Old Madam, Official Song is here to see you."
"Official Song?" Old Madam Long repeated in surprise. She naturally knew Song Chuan, the young man who has beco an official and also a friend of Long Qian Xing. There were a few tis when he ca to see Long Qian Xing in the past. While Old Madam Long didn't know what her grandson asked Song Chuan to do, but she knew that the two of them were friends and Song Chuan might have done sothing for her grandson in the court. She never asked him about it.
"He's the new governor of Cheng City," Old Master Nan said. "So people said that his position is still under review but those who can fight against him don't really make a move."
After knowing that the Xiao Family wanted to pay visit to Nan Hua, Old Master Nan reviewed many other things in Cheng City. Emperor Yang Zhou's actin of moving away from Cheng City to make a new capital city had caused a lot of problems in Cheng City. There was a shuffle of power because so people wanted to follow Emperor Yang Zhou while so others wanted to stay.
So people were promoted and so others were removed.
After all, so people also took the initiative to have an early retirent when they heard that Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to move.
Cheng City will beco different.
So people who were already older and felt tired, chose to retire instead because they knew that Fei Yang Kingdom was about enter a new era. And their abilities for this new era was very limited. It would be better for them to rest and enjoy the result of their hard work over the years. "He's the new governor of Cheng City?" Old Madam Long looked a bit suspicious. "Why did he want to find an old woman like ?"
Nan Hua glanced at Old Madam Long and for so reasons, she has the feeling that Song Chuan was here because he wanted to see her. She rembered that he was actually working for Long Qian Xing.
Long Qian Xing had brought Nan Hua to see him once before.
At that ti, she listened about so of their plans.
But…
If he wanted to continue discussing those, isn't it better to wait until Long Qian Xing co back?
"Let him in," Old Madam Long said. She didn't know what he wanted to do, but she could try to listen. Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows and then asked, "Should I go…?"
"No, you stay here and be a background person."
Old Master Nan: "…"
