Old people often say that fallen leaves return to their roots.
The older you get, the more you miss your hometown. This is human nature.
The most important thing is that the circle has changed.
In the past, when you walked out of your door, you would see your neighbors. When there was no work at home, a few people could sit around under the eaves and chat happily, and they could sit there for a long time.
Now that I have arrived in the capital, I have lived in a large house with several walls. The maids can only flatter you, and my son has no time to listen to him.
The only neighbors with whom we can have interesting conversations are not here.
Even if he is forced to stay here under such an environment, the old man will not be happy.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing said, "Okay, when will you set off?"
Liu Ji said, "Just these two days."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "I understand. You said the same goes for you two. My children have been born. Why are you not married yet? You are still one year older than me."
Liu Ji and Li Dong looked at each other, then lowered their heads at the same time and sighed: "Isn't it because we haven't found the right one yet."
Xu Qing: "I remember when I was still in Yong'an County, didn't you say that the county magistrate's daughter was pretty good?"
Liu Jidao: "It was different back then."
Xu Qing; "What's the difference?"
Liu Ji said, "At that time, my family was poor and short of money, and the policeman only had a small salary for a month."
Xu Qing said: "So now that you have money, you have changed your mind?"
Liu Ji's eyes were complicated and he said, "If you are rich, would you like to marry a daughter worth two hundred catties?"
Xu Qing: "..."
In the past, Liu Ji wanted to marry the daughter of the county magistrate's family so that he could have a soft life like himself.
Li Dong looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, you are the lucky one. Fortunately, Mr. Su's daughter came to be the head catcher. If the county magistrate's daughter had come to be the head catcher, you would be so small.
Ah, tsk tsk tsk... By the way, I haven’t asked yet, what official position does Mr. Su hold now?"
Xu Qing said: "My father-in-law is now the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture."
Liu Ji was surprised and said: "Let me tell you, Mr. Su is so conscientious that he will definitely have a prosperous official career, and he is already the governor of Jingzhao!"
Xu Qingshen nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, thanks to the fact that he worked conscientiously and gave birth to a daughter with his mother-in-law, otherwise this Jingzhao Prefecture Yin might not be able to take the position in another ten years."
…
After the three of them had a farewell drink together, Li Dong and Liu Ji went home to pack their things.
After Xu Qing paid the bill, he walked out and went to Dr. Qian's hospital.
When Doctor Qian saw Xu Qing, he quickly bowed his hands and said, "The common people are paying homage to the Marquis. I wonder what the honor of the Marquis is for you to come here?"
Xu Qing helped Dr. Qian up and said, "Doctor Qian's outstanding medical skills are obvious to all, and I really admire him."
Doctor Qian said very politely, "Master Marquis has given you too much praise."
Xu Qing thought about it and said, "Doctor Qian have any thoughts about going to Yongzhou to practice medicine?"
Doctor Qian shook his head and said, "The common people have been practicing medicine and saving people here for many years, and they have no intention of running around anymore. Besides, what should the noble sons in the capital do when the common people leave?"
Xu Qing said: "Doctor Qian has many apprentices. You can keep one or two, and they can take charge of their own business. Of course, I am not asking Dr. Qian to leave his hometown. I guarantee that as long as Dr. Qian goes to Yongzhou to practice medicine, I can give him a salary every year."
Doctor Qian, how about five hundred taels?"
Doctor Qian was shocked when he heard Xu Qing's words. He quickly raised his hands and said: "How can ordinary people be so virtuous that they can be given such generous gifts by the marquis? The ordinary people are frightened!"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Doctor Qian, you don't know something. Both of my parents died when I was young, so I relied on the support of my father's two friends. Now the elders in their family are getting older and their legs and feet are inconvenient.
If they fall down, what should they do? If they are willing to stay in the capital, that's fine, but the elderly people all want to return to their roots, and I can't persuade them."
"That's why I came up with this plan. I hope Dr. Qian can go to Yongzhou to practice medicine. If the old man gets sick, he doesn't have to ride a carriage bumpyly all the way to the capital for medical treatment. If the body can't bear it, I also ask Dr. Qian to think about it carefully. Silver
Not a problem."
When Dr. Qian heard Xu Qing's words, he said with admiration in his eyes: "I see, I didn't expect that Lord Marquis still has filial piety. The common people admire him! Don't say anything else. Tomorrow the common people will pack up and go to Yongzhou to practice medicine."
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Doctor Qian."
Doctor Qian also returned the greeting: "How dare you? How dare you."
Xu Qing originally thought of asking Li Dong and Liu Ji to take over their entire family and settle down in the capital. Who knew that Liu Ji would leave with his family if Li Dong did not take them over.
Xu Qing could only do so much for them.
The old man's thoughts are always so simple and unpretentious.
After Xu Qing walked out, she met Xiao Ruxue. Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing and said in surprise: "You are not at home with Sister Su today. You...you can come to the capital."
Xu Qing flicked her head: "I'm not lazy enough to stay at home all day long."
Xiao Ruxue covered her head and said, "Then what are you doing here today?"
Xu Qing said, "The martial arts competition is about to begin. I'm here to check whether the venue for the martial arts competition is safe. There will be grassland people watching this martial arts competition. If something goes wrong and falls in the eyes of the grassland people, I'm afraid the national sports team will have to pay attention to it."
Lost."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, I will go with you."
Xu Qing asked in surprise: "Is Sumen okay today?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "The martial arts competition is coming soon. I'm afraid that they will be under a lot of pressure, so I gave them two days off in the last two days so that they can be more free. I don't know if this is the right thing to do or not.
wrong."
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue were walking together on the way to the martial arts field. They passed by a restaurant and saw King Qi coming out of it. He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He was drunk with a smile on his face.
Drunk red.
When King Qi saw Xu Qing, he smiled and said, "Xu Qing, it turns out it's you."
Although Xu Qing didn't like King Qi very much, he still cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi."
King Qi waved his hand and said: "There is no King Qi in the capital today."
With that said, King Qi grabbed Xu Qing's wrist and said, "Come in and have two more drinks with me."
Because Xu Qing had a quarrel with the King of Qi, he naturally refused and said: "Your Highness, the King of Qi, I have important matters to attend to."
The King of Qi said drunkenly, "I am going to the grassland soon, and you don't give me this face? In the past, I invited you to a banquet but you didn't come. Today, at this banquet, you have to drink with me no matter what."
It’s a cup, and you don’t have to pay for it.”
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue looked at each other, why is the King Qi in front of them so strange now?
