Chapter 173
The Zhu family also knew about Zhao Changqing's trip to Zhu Taiye's villa.
In fact, the Zhu family was used to Grandpa Zhu's treatment of Zhao Changqing differently. Grandpa Zhu was such a strange temper. It was good for people who were not good; it was bad for people who were not good for people who were not good for them. It was all because of their qualities. There was no reason to say that even if they were not good for them, they were not bothered. They had to say that Zhao Changqing was born with this fate and became acquainted with the old man.
After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather became colder day by day. The pharmacy sent out winter clothes and prepared charcoal in advance. The lobby was warm every day. Ginger tea was stewed on the stove, and a bowl of it was warmed from head to toe.
It’s cold and there are fewer patients. However, many people know that the medicine shop provides free ginger tea, and they come to drink ginger tea every day without seeing a doctor. Zhao Liangdong was a little unhappy. Zhao Changqing had a good temper and laughed, "Buy more pots of water. If the family is in good condition and it’s so cold, who would be happy to drink a bowl of water? People have come here, just drink it. Ginger shreds can relieve cold and protect the stomach, and drinking more is not harmful."
Zhao Liangdong added new charcoal to the stove and laughed, "That's Sister Qing, it's good to give white water to ordinary medicine shops. It's not like our medicine shop. It's honeysuckle tea in spring and summer, and ginger tea in autumn and winter."
Zhao Changqing smiled and continued to look down at the medical books, discussing with Xia Wen from time to time. This is Xia Wen's favorite time. Zhao Changqing is very serious in medical skills, but he is not as proficient as Xia Wen. Xia Wen has always been aware of Zhao Changqing's advice and said everything.
It was almost noon when a person in charge opened the thick oil cloth cotton curtain and handed in, saying, "The villain is Chen An, the relative of the major general. At the order of the major general, please ask Dr. Zhao to go to our mansion to see the young lady."
Zhao Liangdong received the post and handed it to Zhao Changqing. When Zhao Changqing saw that it was a mud gold prayer, he opened it and read it, "I have never been to the General's Mansion to practice medicine. The general's mansion is noble, let alone the imperial doctor in the army, how can I use it as a young woman? To be honest, the one with the best medical skills in my shop is Doctor Xia." Chen An wore a small green silk sweater, and he also claimed to be the relative of the major general. He thought he had some status, so Zhao Changqing called him "Standard Chen".
Xia Wen understood that Zhao Changqing was not really trying to push him in front, but just blocked him. He knew that, "If the General's Mansion is trustworthy, what if he goes with the manager?"
Chen An hurriedly said, "I'm not hiding it from Doctor Zhao, because he is a female family member, so he wants to ask Doctor Zhao to go in person. The Major General was anxious. The villain had already prepared a carriage outside and was waiting for him. Doctor Zhao, don't worry, just go to see a doctor."
Even if a female family member is hung up the tent, she can still ask a male doctor to come to the clinic. Zhao Changqing was puzzled and it was difficult to refuse this matter, so she had to say, "Okay."
Xia Wendao, "There are no patients in the shop today. I'll go with you. If there is a pulse, the two of them will always be more sure."
After thinking about it, Zhao Changqing did not refuse.
Zhao Changqing is a careful person. He looked out through the car window of Reuters and couldn't help but ask, "Manager Chen, aren't you going to the General's Mansion?" There is something wrong with this road.
Chen Andao, "It's the Major General's outer house, in Qingyun Lane."
Zhao Changqing stopped asking.
Zhao Changqing was worried all the way to Qingyun Lane and followed his servants into the inner house. When he actually saw the patient, he realized the reason why he invited her. The patient did have a quirk and could not see a man at any time. However, there was a tall and mighty man sitting by the bed. The man held the woman's hand and his face was full of worry and distress. The patient was not someone else, but Miss Yaoyao, who Zhao Changqing had seen for treatment in Wanhualou before.
The maid reported softly, and Major General Chen hurriedly said, "Doctor Zhao, please treat A Yao quickly. She has been coughing these two days and can't eat."
Miss Yaoyao was as beautiful as ever, but her eyebrows were faintly melancholy, which was very pitying. The maid brought the round stool and Zhao Changqing sat down. Miss Yaoyao said softly, "Doctor Zhao is trouble."
Zhao Changqing said, "Miss believes in the medical skills of the girl is the honor of her." As she said that, she put out a small meridian pillow and put three fingers on the slender wrist of the girl Yaoyao.
There was no serious illness, it was just a little cold and worried. The prescription was so good. Zhao Changqing prescribed medicine, and Major General Chen asked Zhao Changqing out to speak, and asked about the health of the girl Yaoyao. Zhao Changqing said, "I am not very sick, so I will take three medicines first. I just see that Miss Yao has a sad face, and I think she has some worries. If the general has free time, please enlighten Miss Yao more."
Major General Chen responded and thanked Zhao Changqing again, saying, "A Yao doesn't like other doctors. She seems to have a relationship with Doctor Zhao. In the future, she will have to bother Doctor Zhao."
Zhao Changqing bowed, "You are welcome, Major General."
Major General Chen ordered someone to send Zhao Changqing out.
Xia Wen was outside, and when he saw Zhao Changqing coming out, he was relieved. The two of them returned to the pharmacy. When they arrived at the pharmacy, they arrested the medicine for the people from the General's Mansion. Xia Wen Fang asked, "Is it okay?"
Zhao Changqing said, "It's an old acquaintance." He quietly said the identity of Miss Yaoyao. Xia Wen then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Changqing laughed, "This trip will delay your meal."
"What's the point? Although you have good martial arts skills, if you don't go together, I can't feel at ease." Xia Wen said naturally, laughing, "Liangdong must have left me a meal. You should go home and have dinner quickly, don't let your family worry about it. There are no patients today, so you can take a break or not come."
Zhao Changqing looked at him for a while and smiled, "It's a bit like a big shopkeeper."
Xia Wen joked, "I am a miracle doctor and a big shopkeeper."
The two of them joked for a few times, and Zhao Changqing went home.
Since then, both the ill and those who are not sick like to talk to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing understands the loneliness of Yaoyao. He was originally from a brothel, but was adopted by Major General Chen as an outdoor room because of his outstanding appearance. The women in brothels are both arrogant and inferior, slender and sensitive, with a lingering desolation in their hearts.
Fortunately, Major General Chen really loved her more than her. Several times Zhao Changqing met Major General Chen and went to visit the Yaoyao girl in a different courtyard. As soon as Major General Chen arrived, Zhao Changqing immediately stood up and said goodbye. Yaoyao smiled and said, "When the general is not here, only Sister Zhao can come to talk to me. As soon as the general comes, Sister Zhao is about to leave."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you don't leave, you will feel that I'm redundant. When will you be bored, I'll come again."
Yaoyao ordered her maid to send Zhao Changqing out.
When Major General Chen saw that Yaoyao had newly written words on the table, he picked them up and looked at them, laughing, "How can I copy the scriptures?"
Yaoyao hurriedly packed the scriptures on the table and said, "This is the Peace Sutra. After I copy it, I can keep peace with the Bodhisattva. I have heard before that the border is not peaceful, and you are doing martial arts. This sutra is to bless you."
Yaoyao kissed and poured tea to Major General Chen, and said softly, "I heard from Sister Zhao that she was giving out porridge in her shop during Laba. She also bought 500 taels of silver for Chen rice to the temple and asked the temple to donate it for her to give it to the poor. I thought, I would also buy 200 taels of silver for the temple to save people. Do you think it's okay?"
Major General Chen laughed, "What's the point of two hundred taels? I'll send someone to get one thousand taels."
"How is this?" Yaoyao's cherry lips curled slightly, complaining, "That's your money, not mine."
Major General Chen held her in his arms, put it on his lap like a big doll, and touched Yaoyao's tender face intimately, smiling, "What's yours, yours, mine, mine, and mine, are we still divided each other?"
Yaoyao gently pushed Major General Chen and stabbed someone's chin, insisting, "No, no, you don't have to pay, I will take my own body and not write my name, but I will write your name in the temple. If I accumulate blessings, I will be yours."
Major General Chen smiled heartily and felt very considerate, so naturally everything was agreed.
Because Zhao Changqing was able to diagnose Miss Yaoyao's illness well, he became a special physician for Miss Yaoyao. During the Chinese New Year, he also received a generous New Year gift from Major General Chen.
This is also the rule of the wealthy family. The wealthy family has their own commonly used doctors. During the Chinese New Year, they will give the doctor a generous New Year gift, which is considered the cost of the next year. Of course, there is also a confidentiality fee. It saves you the money you pay for every time you ask the doctor to go to the hospital, which is not significantly shabby.
With Zhao Changqing's qualifications, he may not be able to see Major General Chen's eyes. Major General Chen sent someone to give her a New Year gift, which was nothing more than his attention to Miss Yaoyao.
Ling was so frightened when she saw the New Year gift given by the major general. She was allergic to the three words "General's Mansion". After listening to Zhao Changqing's explanation, Ling's side felt slightly relieved and handed all the New Year gifts to Zhao Changqing himself to handle. Zhao Changqing picked some not-so-prime gifts for Xia Wen, Ling's second sister, and Zhao Liangdong, and made the New Year gifts for his own shop. The rest were in his private warehouse.
The result of receiving the New Year gift was that Zhao Changqing was invited to Qingyun Lane at noon on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Chen An said to Zhao Changqing with a pale face and said to him quietly, "The major general is in the camp, and the young man has already reported to him. Dr. Zhao hurried in and showed him the young man. If the young man has something wrong, the young man will be unable to save his life."
Zhao Changqing asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen An whispered, "Big Grandma has come."
Zhao Changqing immediately stopped asking and hurried into the inner house.
Yaoyao was lying on the bed, her face pale as paper, and she was sleeping heavily. A blood mark on her neck was quite shocking. The maids and mothers beside her were all guarding outside carefully. Zhao Changqing sat on the embroidery stool in front of the bed, pulled Yaoyao's hand, took her pulse, and looked at the wound on her neck, prescribed a prescription, and ordered someone to take the medicine.
When Zhao Changqing left Yaoyao's bedroom, a woman in her forties whispered, "I have prepared a house for Dr. Zhao. Please rest in our courtyard for a while and wait until the young lady wakes up."
Zhao Changqing agreed. Thinking that although Yaoyao is beautiful and beautiful, she lives in this outer house, it is not right. When the main wife comes, she can kill her half of her life, but she is also a poor life. Even though Grandma Chen is the main wife of Major General Chen, she is right and right. She cherishes her husband and is loved by others and is neglected in the boudoir. Even if the main wife is a poor wife, she is still a pitiful person.
For a moment, I couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
When Yaoyao was applying medicine to Yaoyao's neck, Yaoyao woke up. When she saw Zhao Changqing, she burst into tears and called out with a choking, "Sister Zhao, you are here."
Zhao Changqing comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's better if you apply medicine, and you can't even leave a scar."
Yaoyao covered her face and cried, "I'm not afraid. People like me are just relying on the right color, and they live for one day."
"How can you say such depressing words? The Major General's kindness to you is obvious to all."
Yaoyao covered her tears and said, "Those who serve the king with their beauty will be weak and their love will be relaxed. What's more, there are many things that beauty will stop before she gets old. Besides, he is good to me, and there is no one who hates me at home. He is not good to me, I am just a piece of loess. Sister Zhao, what can I do? I live outside and I can see you when I want to see you. The Major General is here, this is our home!"
"If I say this, Sister Zhao, don't look down on me. I am also a girl from a good family. I followed the Major General innocently." Yaoyao held Zhao Changqing's hand and cried bitterly, "Sister Zhao, if you still remember the Chu family, if you still remember Cousin Chu Yu, my surname is Yue, and my father is Cousin Chu Yu's uncle!"
Zhao Changqing was stunned.
