When Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue heard the quarrel inside, they immediately felt something was wrong. They walked over quickly, and the tall and thin man's fist almost fell on the middle-aged doctor.
When Xu Qing saw it, he quickly shouted: "Stop!"
Only then did the tall and thin man's fist stop in the air. The doctor was frightened and overwhelmed by this scene...but he was not frightened by the tall and thin man's anger...it was just...it was ten days ago.
How can a man who can't even scrape together ten taels of silver get a thousand taels of silver?
Moreover, the banknote is still a genuine banknote!
When the tall and thin man saw Xu Qing coming in, he was at a loss: "Sir... Sir, why are you here?"
"Sir?" The doctor on the side looked at Xu Qing. In this three-acre land in Anding County, there is probably only one lord, the uncle of Anding County.
Thinking of this, the doctor quickly raised his hands to Xu Qing and said, "I have seen the lord."
Xu Qing waved his hand to signal for getting up, then looked at the two people in the courtyard and asked, "Why are you arguing again?"
The tall and thin man lowered his head, his eyes were red, and said with tears: "Sir, ten days ago, my wife suddenly fell seriously ill, so I called this person to see my wife, but he only prescribed a few doses.
The medicine to relieve the pain was said to be a cure, but it cost one thousand taels of silver. Today I invited him here again, but he said it couldn’t be cured..."
Ten days?! It took him ten days to make the softened paper?!
Xu Qing concealed the shock in her heart, looked at the doctor and said, "What's your explanation?"
The doctor quickly defended: "Your Majesty, what I said at the time was just an approximation. I didn't expect that he could find a thousand taels in just ten days!"
Under normal circumstances, doctors will not say "wait to die" if the patient cannot be cured.
They will be tactful for a while, but there is no way to save the day, and it is hard to save the gods...
He said last time that it would take one thousand taels to cure the disease, which almost means that a god must come over to cure it. After all, in a family that can't even raise ten taels, a thousand taels is no different from the number of days.
But he really didn’t expect that he could get a thousand taels!
We already have one thousand taels, and it will be fine soon after we renew the string. Why use these one thousand taels to save this dying man?
It's just stupid!
After hearing what the doctor said, Xu Qing understood what he meant. His current family situation is probably just a little better than when he first came to this world. It is not an exaggeration to say that one thousand taels is an astronomical figure.
It's a pity that he, who wanted to save his wife, didn't understand the doctor's euphemism and thought that he could really be cured with a thousand taels.
Xu Qing also looked at the doctor helplessly: "If you can't cure it, just say no, why bother asking for a thousand taels?"
After hearing this, the doctor quickly said: "Your Majesty is right, a villain cannot be cured..."
Xu Qing: "..."
This man is so sincere...
Are you possessed by King Xin?
Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, it's none of your business, you can go first..."
After the doctor heard this, he picked up the medicine box on his back as if he had received an amnesty, and ran away in a hurry. This family was too scary... It was better to leave first...
At this moment, a little girl, about six or seven years old, walked out of the kitchen nearby. She took small steps and walked steadily to the side of the tall and thin man with a bowl of medicine in her hand. Her voice was waxy.
Comforting: "Daddy, don't cry, daddy, don't cry, mother will get better."
The tall and thin man rubbed his little daughter's head and said, "Go and give your mother some medicine. Daddy won't cry."
The little girl nodded: "Yeah."
After finishing speaking, he continued to take small steps and walked to the house inquiringly, holding the medicine bowl.
The tall and thin man lowered his head and said with an extremely suppressed voice: "The Lord is laughing at the joke... I am just a little girl. Most of the villains are making money to support their families. It is the little girls who are taking care of their wives. The villain is a
An incompetent husband watches his wife become seriously ill but can do nothing..."
Xu Qing said at this time: "Don't be like this. The disease that the doctor just couldn't cure doesn't mean that all the doctors in the world can't cure it. I'll think of a way."
The tall and thin man suddenly raised his head when he heard Xu Qing's words, and hope suddenly appeared in his originally gloomy eyes: "Sir..."
Xu Qing said: "You have just made a contribution to the Guoshang Yuan, and you may even have made a contribution to the entire imperial court. I will try my best to find famous doctors to treat Mrs. Ling."
Originally, Xu Qing was still thinking about how to complete the task assigned by the wise king. Now it seems that he has a goal. Paper is considered a holy thing by the scholar-bureaucrats. Even Xiao Ye, a person who didn't care about anything, hesitated for a moment.
This shows how deep-rooted this concept is.
This tall, thin man had no idea how much his softening paper would contribute to restoring stability to the Chu court.
When the tall and thin man heard that Xu Qing was willing to save his wife, he immediately knelt down and said, "If Sir, I can cure the illness of my wife, Mo Heng will be willing to work for me in the future to repay your great kindness!"
Xu Qing quickly helped her up: "Get up quickly, why are you kneeling? There is no such rule in the Guoshang Academy. Take good care of Mrs. Ling at home and wait for my news."
…
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue kept the supplements they bought despite Mo Heng's repeated refusals. They really didn't expect that this man would be so infatuated with his wife.
The daughter at home is also sensible and cute.
Xu Qing couldn't help but think of Su Qian back then. Magistrate Su was always busy outside. She was five or six years old and took care of her seriously ill mother with her maid at home...
This scene should be very similar to what happened to my wife, right?
Xu Qing doesn't have any medical skills, and he has no intention of treating such a serious disease by himself.
When Xiao Ruxue had a cold and fever, he could still tell her to drink more hot water, but he also told Mo Heng's wife to drink more hot water, right?

Prince Xian’s Mansion—Study
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing who hurriedly asked for an audience and said, "You are so anxious to ask for an audience with me. Could it be that you have thought of a way?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "I thought of it, but I need manpower."
The wise king said: "You can tell me as many people as you need. By the way, the bureaucracy and the Yushitai are not good enough. Don't even think about bringing trouble to them."
Xu Qing said: "It's just all the imperial doctors who are proficient in medical skills in the Imperial Medical Office."
"Imperial Physician?" The Xian King murmured, and then said: "Yes, as long as the court can be stabilized, you can do whatever you want with the Imperial Physician. I will give it to you."
afternoon
Mo Heng looked at the courtyard wearing various official uniforms, and there were people old and young looking at Xu Qing with some confusion: "Sir... this is it?"
Xu Qing looked at Mo Heng and said, "I have moved the Imperial Medical Office here, and they will do their best to treat Mrs. Ling."
Mo Heng's mind immediately buzzed when he heard Xu Qing's words... The Imperial Medical Office... moved here...
