Lu Tong arrived at the lodgings when the sky had already darkened.
She had spent half the day at the Hanlin Medical Institute updating records. The other half of the day was spent listening to lectures in the hall with everyone else, as Imperial Medical Officer Chang Jin briefed them on their rotational duties. By the time everyone dispersed, it was dusk.
The female officer who had led the way pointed out the direction to her at the entrance to the herb garden before leaving. Carrying her medical kit and luggage, Lu Tong walked on. There was no need for medical practitioners who had just arrived at the institute to be on duty on their first day. They were only required to familiarize themselves with the lodging and their colleagues in the same hall. Official work would commence the next day.
