Chapter 10 Die under a pomegranate skirt, being a ghost is also romantic
In Qiao County, besides Xu Chu, there was another person Zhou Ping wanted to get to know and make friends with. This person was the famous doctor Hua Tuo.
Zhou Ping came to Qiao County for the first time and the second time to visit Hua Tuo, but he didn't see anyone.
Hua Tuo often went out to practice medicine and seldom spent much time at home.
Zhou Ping came to Qiao County for the third time. Because he stayed there for a long time, he went several times and finally met Hua Tuo.
However, Hua Tuo was not sociable, did not want to socialize, did not drink, and did not care about world affairs. He really had nothing to say to Zhou Ping.
That time Zhou Ping came back bored. The reason why he said he was an old friend was just wishful thinking. In Hua Tuo's eyes, he was not even as good as a patient. At least the patient could interest the famous doctor Hua Tuo.
But Hua Tuo had a shortcoming - he loved money and had low self-esteem.
The money for treating him is quite high, and generally only officials or aristocratic families can afford it. Ordinary people cannot afford to treat him unless they meet him by chance.
Hua Tuo also often took care of himself and took care of himself. He never healed you once, but made you need him all the time.
This may be related to his inferiority complex.
He was originally a scholar who traveled to Xuzhou to study and was proficient in the classics. He was even invited by Taiwei Huang Wan and promoted as Xiaolian by Pei Prime Minister Chen Gui, but he refused.
Later, I took up medicine as a career, but I often regretted it. However, once I entered the medical field, I was as deep as the sea and I couldn't extricate myself.
The social status at that time was that of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and that of doctors and workers, which were lower than those of farmers. Of course, now they are scholars, merchants, workers and peasants.
Doctors, like witches, are not good family members.
Hua Tuo became a doctor from a scholar, and from the top to the bottom. This made him feel the low status of his status when he was called back and forth during his medical practice, so he developed a strong resistance and unwillingness to
To be used by others, especially not by ordinary people.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhou Ping to receive a cold reception from Hua Tuo.
Zhou Ping didn't realize it at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was not an official. If he wanted Hua Tuo to take him seriously, he could only use money.
After resting at Xu Ding's house for two days, Zhou Ping said goodbye and took Zhang Wu out of Xu's house. As soon as he hit the road and ran out not far, he heard someone behind him shout loudly: "Shaojun, Shaojun..."
Zhou Ping and Zhang Wu hurriedly turned around, only to see a man rushing toward them, patting his horse. The man on the horse was none other than the servant Asui.
The two men hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped. When Ah Shui patted the horse and ran closer, Zhou Ping asked hurriedly: "Why are you here? Is there something going on at home?"
Zhou Ping thought that if it was just for his own marriage, his brother would not send Ah Shui to chase him to Qiao County. Now that he saw Ah Shui, he was afraid that something urgent had happened at home.
"Young Master, go back..."
"What happened?" Zhou Ping asked again before Ah Shui finished speaking.
Ah Shui took a few breaths and then continued: "Young Master, I went to see it, it's really beautiful!"
Zhou Ping asked in confusion: "What is really beautiful?"
"The Gan family's daughter, Gan Qian, the Gan family has agreed to marry their daughter to Shaojun. The head of the family asked me to go to Pei County Beauty Township to have a private look. He said that if Gan Qian is really beautiful, he will come back to you to get married.
.I saw it with my own eyes, Shaojun, do you still remember the county magistrate’s concubine we saw in Fengcheng last time? It’s the one you said was really beautiful and you stared at her for a long time.”
Zhang Wu nodded silently after hearing this, saying that he was also present at the time and had seen the county magistrate's concubine. Moreover, Shaojun did say that and stared at her for a long time.
Zhou Ping listened to what Ah Shui said, thought about it carefully, and soon remembered it.
"Um."
"This daughter of the Gan family is ten times, no, twenty times more beautiful than the county magistrate's concubine."
Ah Shui's face was full of surprise when he said this.
Zhou Ping stared at Ah Shui: "Is she really that beautiful? Tell the truth."
"Hey, Young Master, if not ten times, let's say five times. The daughter of the Gan family is really beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven." Ah Shui said and pointed to the sky.
Zhou Ping could see from Ah Shui's eyes that he was not exaggerating. It seemed that Gan Qian was really beautiful.
Zhang Wu also said stupidly at this time: "Young Master, go back, you are twenty years old. Don't you often say, 'If you die under a pomegranate skirt, you will be romantic even if you are a ghost'? You also said that if you have a beautiful woman as your companion, you will die if you die."
No regrets, hehe..."
Zhou Ping glared at Zhang Wu, can such words be taken seriously?!
"Let me think about it." Zhou Ping took off the wine gourd from his waist, unplugged the gourd, took a sip, and thought carefully in his mind.
It's not that I can't marry Gan Qian, I just don't want to compete with Liu Bei for a woman. After all, I will be Liu Bei's man in the future.
But now that the Gan family has agreed to his marriage, it means that Liu Bei has not fallen in love with Gan Qian, so he will not know if he marries her.
When I read history books before, I didn't see anyone saying that Gan Qian was beautiful. If he had known that she was so beautiful, he would have asked his brother to call a matchmaker to propose marriage a long time ago instead of waiting until now.
Historically, Gan Qian married Liu Bei, his wife who was a conqueror. No, marrying Liu Bei was indeed quite miserable. This was a stain on Liu Bei's life that could not be washed away.
Although she was not killed like the previous wives, she was captured several times.
The first time was in Xiapi. Liu Bei and Guan Yu led their troops to fight Yuan Shu, leaving Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi. As a result, Xiapi was attacked by Lu Bu and was captured by Lu Bu.
Later, in Xiaopei, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led troops to attack, but Liu Bei couldn't defeat him and ran away. This was the second time Gan Qian was captured.
The third time was also in Xiapi. Liu Bei was guarding Xiaopei and ran away after seeing Cao Cao's personal expedition. As a result, Guan Yu was defeated and captured. Gan Qian was also captured by Cao Cao at the same time. Fortunately, Guan Yu protected her, otherwise that Cao thief...
At that time, if Guan Yu died in battle or was killed rather than surrender, Gan Qian would definitely become the prey of Cao's thieves, and Liu Chan would probably become Cao Chan.
Also in Dangyang, Jingzhou, he was abandoned by Liu Bei on the way to escape. Fortunately, Zhao Yun rescued him.
The two daughters born to Gan Qian and Liu Bei were also snatched away by Cao Chun. The son was rescued by Zhao Yun, but this Adou only inherited Liu Bei's trust and employment, but not his ambition at all. Maybe this is
The difference between a self-made man and a rich second generation.
But to be honest, it's good to be Liu Bei's brother and subordinate, and it's not bad to be the people under his rule, but it's really not good to be his wife, concubines and children. This is a man who forgets his family for the sake of his country.
Now that Liu Bei has his help, it should not be so miserable. However, everything is unpredictable, and he is not a god, so he cannot guarantee that Liu Bei will not be homeless again.
It seems that if I marry Gan Qian, I will be helping Gan Qian so that she no longer has to suffer the pain of being captured and abandoned. At the same time, I will be helping Liu Bei so that he no longer has to endure the responsibility of abandoning his wife...
Zhou Ping thought for a long time and made a decision in his heart. He picked up the wine gourd and took a sip. He told Ah Shui: "Go back first and tell my brother that I promise to go back and get married this time. I will go back tomorrow and let him
Just follow the rules."
Ah Shui, however, didn't quite believe Zhou Ping's words, thinking that this was another excuse for him to evade: "Young Master, since we agreed to get married, we are going back together now, why do we have to wait until tomorrow? And...if I go back and ask the head of the family to act according to the regulations,
If Shaojun doesn't come back by then, wouldn't that mean..."
Zhou Ping said sternly: "Just do it. I won't joke with my brother about this. I'm going to visit the famous doctor Hua Tuo. Maybe I'll be back on the road in the afternoon. You can leave quickly."
Ah Shui had no choice but to bid farewell to Zhou Ping and rush back to Feng County.
Zhou Ping took Zhang Wu and continued to visit Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo's house was not too far from Xu Chu's house. Zhou Ping and Zhou Ping rode in a hurry and arrived in half an hour.
