Webster was very surprised when he heard that Yan Shiqing had negotiated the terms and refused his overtures.
After all, she and her mother are two different people. Her promise is equivalent to an extra reward. How could anyone refuse it?
Now she was very curious as to what her mother had promised this girl so that she could refuse her reward.
No, what she just said was price. Could it be that it’s a sky-high price? xdw8
"I wonder how much the mother paid for the girl's consultation?"
Yan Shiqing thought that there was nothing to keep secret. They were all from the same family and they would know about it in the future, so she said: "Five hundred taels for the consultation! Previously, the old lady said that after the cure, an extra one hundred taels would be added and a plaque would be given.
To Shiqing’s soon-to-be-opened medical clinic.”
Webster took a breath unconsciously. Although the Lian family was not short of money, the consultation fee alone was only five hundred taels. Is that too expensive?
In this capital city's medical clinic, the doctor's consultation fee, no matter how high it is, will not exceed twenty taels.
But now it’s five hundred taels, no, it’s six hundred taels, but it’s really a sky-high price!
Yan Shiqing looked at her like that and knew what she was thinking, and said: "Madam, do you think it's expensive?" Rong Shiqing and madam talked about it in detail, and madam was wondering if it was worth it. The old lady's illness is extremely serious now, and she doesn't want to come to the capital.
People can be sure to be cured. Moreover, the old lady’s legs and feet are itchy and ulcerated. She is getting fatter and fatter. She dares not eat during the day and cannot sleep at night. She is extremely miserable. If this continues, it will be difficult for the old lady to live for three more years.
.”
When she said this, she picked up the tea cup on the table, sniffed it to the tip of her nose to make sure it was OK, then took a sip and said: "It is said that money can't buy you old age. When people get old, the fatter they get.
It is prone to various problems. High blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. Once these three conditions occur, it will be more difficult to control under the conditions of limited medical skills and the old lady’s own illness. The madam feels that the old lady’s life is
, is it worth six hundred taels?”
Wei Shi was stunned by what Yan Shiqing said.
Of course she knew that the old lady would not be able to do this, and she also knew that the doctors had said that if the old lady continued like this, she would die of illness in less than two years.
I thought the consultation fee was expensive before, but now after hearing Yan Shiqing's detailed analysis, I instantly felt that six hundred taels seemed to be a bargain.
Seeing her face relax, Yan Shiqing said: "Shiqing is pregnant and has some scruples about seeing a doctor. If Aunt Lian and the old lady hadn't come to see her personally, Shiqing would definitely not be here. Shiqing would definitely not be here."
But I thought, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda to accumulate some blessings for the child in my belly."
To say that Webster is also a talented person, she has not been the mistress of the Lian family for nearly twenty years.
She quickly recalled Yan Shiqing's words. It was just one sentence: If you want me to see a doctor, these six hundred taels are still missing. If it weren't for the sake of accumulating blessings for the child,
I'm not willing to save him yet.
Thinking of this, Wei Shi looked at Yan Shiqing with a particularly pleasing look. She felt that although this girl looked greedy for money, she relied on her own abilities and made you willing to do so.
She appreciates such a girl!
"According to Shiqing, it is indeed less. Otherwise, after my mother recovers, Shiqing will come to my Lian Mansion every once in a while to check on the female family members in the backyard. How about I give one hundred taels a year?
"
Yan Shiqing hasn't investigated the Lian Mansion yet, so naturally she doesn't dare to agree easily. Besides, she came to Hongwu Kingdom with a purpose, so how can she waste her energy here? Not to mention, her child will appear soon.
In the future, I will have a child and work in a medical clinic. I will have no time to argue with the woman in the backyard.
"Shiqing is afraid that she will disappoint Madam's good intentions. I think Madam has also seen it. Shiqing's belly is not small. After the child is born, there will be many things."
Webster was not upset when she refused, so he stood up and said, "Since I can't spare time for poetry, it won't be a problem. After my mother gets better and I have some free time in the future, I can come and walk around. It's getting late now, so I'll make arrangements right away."
Come down, the poetic girl will have lunch at home before leaving."
After Webster left, Yan Shiqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really tiring to deal with the women in these big mansions. It seems like I have returned to the role I played in my previous life when I was on a mission. I am very tired from trying to figure out everything.
Maybe she was like this because she got used to relaxing after coming here!
Aunt Huo and Xiao Wa always stood by Yan Shiqing's side. Seeing Wei Shiqing leaving, she hurriedly said: "Young lady will have to treat Mrs. Lian later, so let's take a rest now."
Xiang'er was considerate of her big belly, so she pointed to the couch beside the bed and said, "If Miss Yan is tired, go and rest there first. When the old lady is ready, the servant will call Miss Yan."
Yan Shiqing was indeed a little tired, so she didn't hesitate after hearing this, got up and walked to the window.
After lying down, he said to Xiang'er: "After your old lady takes a bath, just ask her to lie on the bed wearing underwear. I need to expose her back for cupping."
"yes!"
Hearing this, Xiang'er saw that Yan Shiqing had closed her eyes, so she bowed and walked into the house.
Go to the study room
Lian Shengfeng looked at his first wife and said, "But let me ask, who is she?"
"Miss Yan is smart and has a strict speaking style. I can't get anything out of her. She only said that her maiden name was Luo, and her given name was Shiqing. As for Yan, I think it was her husband's surname? But I guess it's her husband's surname.
It seems otherwise. If she was really divorced by her husband's family, she would definitely not take her husband's surname."
"Can't even ask you?"
Lian Shengfeng's eyes were full of shock. He knew how shrewd and powerful his first wife, who had been married for more than twenty years, was. If he couldn't even ask her, I'm afraid the girl's scheming was deep enough.
Is there really no purpose for her to get close to her mother? Is it just for simple treatment?
"Master, from my point of view, there should be nothing wrong with that girl. Her medical skills are really unmatched by those in the past. I just said a few words to her, and she was able to tell her physical condition.
.”
However, Lian Shengfeng shook his head and said: "We have to ask someone to check it out. Don't you think how long the prince's health will take when he comes back this time? If this girl Yan has a relationship with the prince, then in this capital,
I’m afraid things are going to change!”
Wei Shi did not expect that his master would associate Yan Shiqing with the prince. Hearing this, he was a little uncertain and said: "It shouldn't be the case! If there is really a relationship, relying on the fact that she is a woman, he can directly
Wouldn't it be better to enter the East Palace as the crown prince's concubine than now? Besides, she is still pregnant, and the nun beside her doesn't look like she came from the palace, so I must be overthinking it."
Lian Shengfeng waved his hand and said: "If that child were the prince, do you think he would still enter the East Palace? The prince's status is embarrassing now, and only the general is helping him. It's not like you don't know about the fact that the court is shouting to abolish the prince.
.The emperor thought about his love for his wife, and repeatedly tolerated the prince. But if the prince had an heir and gave birth safely, it would be different. The prince could be considered to have secured his position in the East Palace. You must know that establishing a eldest son and a direct heir is an ancestral motto.
The previous calls to abolish the prince were simply because the prince was in poor health and would not be able to have heirs in the future."
