Chapter 173 Entering Beijing
Chapter 173 Entering Beijing
“I have called you here today, and I believe you have already counted it in your hearts.
Our Lingshan Prefecture will send five of you to the medical competition this year.
The capital city is not far from our Lingshan Prefecture, but it is not close either. Even if the carriage drives at full speed, it will take half a month to reach the capital city.
It is now the end of January, and there are not many days left until February. In case something unexpected happens on the way, we will set off for the capital in three days. You can pack your things after we return." After seeing that everyone had arrived, Doctor Ye entered the main topic of today.
"Oh! By the way, Qingyi and Baiyan, after this medical competition, you two don't have to go back to Lingshan Mansion to practice medicine. You can directly stay in the Beijing Medical Clinic to practice medicine. So, don't forget the things you should bring when you go to the capital.
You three don't have to be envious. As long as you can win the top ten in this medical competition, you will be qualified to practice medicine in the capital. " Doctor Ye thought of this and reminded Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan bowed deeply to Doctor Ye and said, "Thank you Doctor Ye for your support!"
"Yes, Doctor Ye, we will do our best!" the other three responded in unison.
Doctor Ye nodded, gave them some reminders on the road, and then asked them to go back and prepare.
Three days later, led by Doctor Ye, two carriages carrying them set off for the capital. The carriages were bumpy on the winding mountain road, but they were extremely excited.
The capital city was about six hundred miles away from Lingshan Prefecture. They traveled day and night and finally arrived at this prosperous city after fourteen days.
The prosperity of the capital city is completely different from the tranquility of Lingshan Prefecture. The city walls are tall and majestic, like a giant dragon winding and circling, guarding this ancient and prosperous capital. On both sides of the street, there are shops lined up, people come and go, and it is very lively. There are all kinds of goods, which are dazzling. The vendors shout loudly, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The hustle and bustle of traffic and the flow of people, all kinds of sounds intertwined together, forming a vivid picture.
“The capital city is divided into the inner city, the outer city and the imperial city. The inner city is located in the center of the capital city and is also the area where the dignitaries live.
If you meet anyone randomly in the inner city, this person might be an official of prominent status, or a royal relative.
Therefore, after entering the capital, be cautious and try to be kind to others. No one knows who you will meet in the next second, or what disputes you will be involved in. Although the capital is prosperous and bustling, it also hides dangers.
Sometimes, even if you don't want to get involved in trouble, trouble will come. In the future, Qingyi and Baiyan, when you two practice medicine in Beijing, try to make friends with dignitaries and become friends with them. Perhaps they will be able to help you when you get into trouble in the future.
As for the outer city, it is built around the inner city. It is where the common people live and it is also the most prosperous and lively place in the entire capital. Although the prosperity and luxury of the inner city are particularly prominent compared with the outer city, the outer city also has its own unique charm.
Although the streets here are not as wide as those in the inner city, they are full of life. In the streets and alleys, vendors are hawking all kinds of goods, making it very lively.
The imperial city is the core of the capital and the location of the imperial palace.
When one day you can enter the palace and become officials, you will be able to see the majestic palace, solemn and majestic. "After Xu Qingyi and his party entered the city and were about to reach their destination, they got off the carriage. Doctor Ye had been to the capital several times, so he introduced the capital to Xu Qingyi and his party.
"Doctor Ye, where are we going this time?" After seeing Doctor Ye leading them towards the inner city, Xu Qingyi asked curiously after seeing him passing many inns along the way but not stopping to rest.
"The guest house was built by the Beijing Medical Clinic for doctors from other places to live in.
Whenever the doctors went to the capital for the medical competition, they would stay in this building. Or doctors who practiced medicine in the capital but did not have a house to live in could stay in the Huibin Building.
In short, as long as one is a doctor from the Rejuvenation Clinic and has a doctor's nameplate, he or she can stay in the Huibin Building and can also be provided with meals.
Miaoshou Medical Clinic also has a place similar to Huibin Building. "Doctor Ye knew that Xu Qingyi and his group had never been to the capital, so he patiently explained.
"So that's how it is." Upon hearing this, the others nodded in understanding.
"We're here." After a while, Doctor Ye stopped and pointed to the reception building in front of him.
Huibin Tower is just a nine-story tower made of bluestone. The tower is surrounded by emerald green bamboo forest, which blends in with the surrounding scenery and makes it look more simple and elegant.
Every floor has carved beams and painted buildings, and flying eaves and pointed corners, each of which exudes an ancient and elegant atmosphere.
When they stepped into the lobby, it was spacious and bright, and it seemed to be a place where guests gathered and communicated.
However, at this time, there were several people gathered in the middle of the hall, and Xu Qingyi heard a familiar voice.
When she looked up, she didn't expect that the familiar voice was looking towards Xu Qingyi.
"Xu Junpeng."
"Xu Qingyi."
"Xu Qingyi, you have been promoted to doctor? Are you coming to the capital to participate in the medical competition?" When Xu Junpeng saw that it was Xu Qingyi, he was surprised. Then after looking at the nameplate hanging around her waist, his eyes lit up and said.
"That's right, where are you?" Xu Qingyi nodded with a smile and then asked.
"I was sent by my grandfather to register the information of you foreign doctors participating in the medical competition, and to arrange accommodation for you." Xu Junpeng said to Xu Qingyi with a smile.
"Then you have to arrange a better room for us." Xu Qingyi joked with a smile.
"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it." Xu Junpeng patted his chest and said as if there was no problem.
On the other side, Doctor Ye also exchanged greetings with the other two doctors on the registration list in the hall.
It's easy to do things if you have someone you know, and I quickly registered their information and gave them the key to their house number.
After Xu Junpeng learned that Xu Qingyi was visiting Beijing for the first time, he enthusiastically introduced Huibinlou.
Although this guest building has nine floors, the first floor is for dining, and the second floor is a study with a rich collection of books for guests to read in their spare time and broaden their horizons.
The third to seventh floors are guest rooms. Each floor has dozens of exquisite guest rooms, all of which are simple and comfortable standard rooms. The rooms are fully equipped with facilities and warmly decorated, making people feel as if they are at home.
The eighth floor is a viewing platform. Standing here, you can overlook the scenery of the entire capital city. Whether it is the prosperous scene during the day or the bright lights at night, it will make people linger.
As for the ninth floor, no one except the owner of the Rejuvenation Clinic had ever gone up there.
