The head of the Red Mansion

It was already difficult to find a doctor at the Huitong Hall.

After all, treating a Jin person would be met with scorn from neighbors and even one's parents and family.

So it always costs a lot of money.

For the sake of money, Fang, the traveling doctor, practically became the local doctor. However, what he didn't expect was that he came secretly, under immense pressure from his neighbors and family, and was even beaten and thrown out...

How could I possibly swallow this insult?

"Dr. Fang..."

The errand boy has five taels of silver, but if he wants to get the money, he has to get the doctor to come first.

"That old man already knows he was wrong,"

The man pleaded, "Please, please go and take another look!"

"look?"

Doctor Fang glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then snorted coldly, "Since you know you're wrong, what is the sincerity of Old Man Suo's apology?"

Apart from him, probably no other doctor in the capital would go to the Huitong Hall.

"As long as you go there, you will receive fifty taels of silver as an apology."

Fifty taels?
Fang Langzhong's heart skipped a beat.

"Ha, didn't that old man Su say I was a quack doctor?"

Doctor Fang looked at the shop assistant and said, "Tell me what's upset him this time. If you can make me happy, I'm willing to make the trip."

If you don't believe in his medical skills, then let him be a real quack!
"...Hehe, I really don't know the specifics of this time." The shopkeeper could only force a smile. "But, the princess's two children just came back from the Jia family. They hadn't been talking behind closed doors for long when Old Man Suo suddenly cried out that he had a headache."

Anyway, it's definitely a good thing.

The Jia family was the nemesis of these Jin people.

Doctor Fang understood this as well, and his anger subsided somewhat. He stroked his beard and said, "In that case, go and tell them that you will offer an apology of one hundred taels of silver and double the consultation fee. Out of consideration for the benevolence of a doctor, I will make the trip. Otherwise, you should find someone else!"

what?
The man was stunned.

They're all street hustlers.

He knew that Fang Langzhong normally charged ten or twenty coins for a consultation.

Those who could stay at the same guild hall were all of extraordinary status; in the past, they were treated by the Imperial Medical Academy.

Fearing that the Imperial Hospital would be too slow in issuing reports and that they wouldn't be able to wait in time, everyone invited renowned doctors from several famous medical clinics in the capital.

now……

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask for you right away."

"go Go!"

Doctor Fang did not wait in the same spot. "I'll walk towards Furong Lane. I won't wait for you if I'm late."

He had already made over a hundred taels of silver from Woch, and could have lived a carefree life long ago.

Although he was an itinerant doctor, he still had his pride; he was also a citizen of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

As he walked, Doctor Fang rummaged through his medical kit.

Finally, among a pile of porcelain bottles, he found two small black bottles, each about the size of a thumb ring, and chuckled as he tucked them into his pocket.

What king?

Shit!

Just as Madam Shen of Ningguo Mansion said, do they even deserve to be called kings?
At this moment, Suo Jin's cries of "Ouch, ouch" echoed one after another in the Huitong Hall.

He was old, and had been on the battlefield several times when he was young, so he naturally had a lot of injuries.

Having been worried and angry for so long, this collapse has completely ruined him.

When the servant returned and told him that Doctor Fang wanted everything to be doubled, the guards were not about to let the prince suffer just to save money. "Alright, alright, hurry up and invite him over."

Although Suo Jin had a splitting headache, he realized he had been scammed, and his headache immediately worsened.

He was in agony here, while in the house of Woch, facing his son's persistent eyes, he remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"If you're so capable, then take the exam!"

Woch sighed, "But I must remind you, the Han people will not allow outsiders to hold high-ranking positions."

"I know."

He nodded vigorously.

He swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He felt that they had treated the Han people worse than the Han people had treated them.

But if he said those words aloud, his father would definitely be even angrier.

I'm angry that he has Han Chinese blood.

Sometimes his father would get angry that he had Han Chinese blood and let others bully him.

Having survived before, Na Man wisely kept quiet.

"It's good that you know. I just hope... the Emperor of Da Zhao really gives us this opportunity."

Woh was unaware of his son's thoughts. At this moment, he was thinking that if the emperor of Dazhao was really willing to give them this opportunity, they might not be unable to do what their ancestors had done: first learn what they needed to learn, and then wait for the right opportunity.

The dynasties of the Central Plains could rise to power or fall into weakness.

All we need to do is strike when they are weakened.

Woch glanced at his daughter, who looked like a fawn and seemed afraid of him, and tried to soften his voice, "Sweetie, you've both had a long day. Go back and get some rest."

If he doesn't get enough rest, it will be troublesome for him if Jia Wen sees him tomorrow.

He waved for his son and daughter to leave, and after making sure they were back in their room, he patted the bed board.

Soon two guards came in and carried him into Tie Bao's house.

Tie Bao suppressed his anger and asked all the nannies, maids, and guards who had accompanied him that day.

Ask about the behavior of the two children, and ask about the behavior of everyone in the Jia family.

If the two children are more inclined towards the Han people, they will have to find a way to bring them back.

In short, the princess's two children must absolutely not be related to the Han people.

Meanwhile, the emperor was also listening to reports from his secret guards.

At the Rongguo Mansion, An San and An Qi went to listen in person.

The situation in Ningguo Prefecture is not easy to handle.

After Madam Shen was murdered once, a section of the roof of her courtyard was rebuilt, and now two burly old women stand guard on it every day.

Even so, her female guard was still not at ease, and every now and then, either she would go up there herself, or one of the four martial arts-skilled girls would go up there.

So they simply can't listen to what's going on here.

"Your Majesty~"

Seeing the two hand gestures his apprentice Xiao Sanzi made, Liu An was overjoyed and said, "The Jia family has sent a letter to the princess."

Ok?
The emperor blinked. "Let me see it."

Xiao Sanzi received the letter and ran over here, panting.

Now that the emperor has issued a decree, he quickly suppressed everything and presented the letter.

The letter is very thick!
Written by Jia She and Jia Zhen themselves.

Both of them emphasized that full.

Especially that line, "As long as you keep being good to us, they will keep treating us well."

Of course, he also wrote down the questions Shen Ning asked him.

"To become an official in the Great Zhao Dynasty..."

After reading everything, the emperor seemed to be deep in thought. After a long while, he said, "Send the letter to the princess and summon Mr. Liu."

These people need to be used.

However, before using it, you have to make sure they don't have any thoughts of resistance, and you also have to consider where you're going to use it.

Hey~
The emperor wanted to sigh.

Jia Jing died too young!

Why couldn't Shen be a man?

Or wait a little longer. He can bring Jia Zhen into the palace as a first-class guard. If he needs anything, he can just let him go home and ask his mother.

Hmm, that's one way to do it.

The emperor calculated that if they escorted the coffin back to their hometown by water, it would take at most half a year.

Six months later, how about we find a way to win back Jia Zhen's affections?

The emperor's mind was racing. In the Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning, who was strolling in the small garden, was waiting for news from the Huitong Hall.

She wanted to know how Suo Jin and the other two would react after hearing what Man had relayed.

As long as no one jumps up and openly curses...

Shen Ning felt there was a chance.

After all, the only thing they can rely on now is the Great Zhao.

As long as the Great Zhao can crush the Rakshasa people, nothing else matters.

"Mother~"

Jia Zhen rushed over. "The staff at the Huitong Hall said that Suo Jin is ill, and they've hired a doctor at a high price." "Didn't he curse?"

"...Having suffered too many losses, even if I wanted to curse, I would only dare to keep it to myself."

Jia Zhen was utterly impressed by his mother. "Mother, do you think the Emperor will really read our letter?"

"...Why do you worry so much?"

Whether you watch or not, as long as they do it, that's enough.

However, Shen Ning felt that the Emperor would see it.

Or rather, he will have multiple channels to know what happened today.

"Bring me that box of pearls, let me take a look."

Let's see what kind of jewelry we can make.

Or should we get a headband inlaid with pearls?

"Dongzhu is actually nothing special."

Upon hearing that his mother had the leisure to look at pearls, Jia Zhen immediately abandoned all his previous thoughts and laughed, "The ginseng they sent over, on the other hand, is all of good quality."

That area is famous for its ginseng.

Unfortunately, there used to be regulations on both sides.

Jia Zhen took the box from Qingzhu and presented it to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning opened it.

At this moment, the setting sun was at its zenith.

A ray of sunlight shines into a box full of pearls.

In an instant, a golden-red halo appeared on each round bead, which was truly pleasing to the eye.

"Give half to your wife."

Shen Ning picked up one and twirled it in her hand. "The same goes for those furs and such."

There are so many good things in Northeast China.

Shen Ning handed one of the beads to Qingzhu, saying, "This one is for Qingcheng; she can use it as a forehead band later."

"Yes!"

Qingzhu agreed with a smile.

They were dividing the wealth, and so was Grandmother Jia of the West Mansion.

She hadn't seen anything so good since the Duke passed away.

“Shen’s health is not good. She said that this ginseng was given to her by my aunt to help her recover. She has it, but I can’t refuse what the old woman gave me.”

If it weren't for Shen's timely return, who knows what would have happened to their family.

There would never have been the glory we have today.

At this moment, Grandmother Jia was truly grateful that the Jia family had such a daughter-in-law.

"Eh~"

Wang Xifeng smiled and agreed, and asked Ping'er to put the ginseng that the old lady had taken out aside. "You are so thoughtful, old lady. Most of the ginseng that the East Mansion got before was taken by Cousin Lan. Although we have more now, with Aunt's personality, she may not be willing to use it."

"Her~"

Grandmother Jia sighed, "When you go there in the future, you should try to persuade her more often."

The grandchildren are still young and need Shen's help.

In this family, the eldest son is unreliable, the second son is even less so, and Zhen'er is no good either; they can only rely on Madam Shen.

Now, Grandmother Jia is as concerned about her health as she is about her own.

"By the way, which imperial physician is she seeing now?"

"It was Dr. He who inspected it personally."

Professor He!

Grandmother Jia was relieved. "That's good, that's good. Her health can't afford to have any more problems."

In fact, when Dr. He, who hadn't even finished his shift yet, heard that the princess's children had brought several cartloads of gifts to visit their maternal grandparents, his heart began to flutter with desire.

He wanted to see if there was any good ginseng over there!

Although the imperial palace had no shortage of these things, most of the truly top-quality ginseng came from the Northeast.

However, while it was good ginseng for them, it might have been a little less desirable for the Jurchen royal family.

Everyone keeps the good stuff for themselves.

He quickly found an excuse to take Madam Shen's pulse and came this way.

He was afraid that if he arrived too late, the Jia family's physicians would malpractice his medicine again.

In particular, the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion often ate ginseng nourishing pills.

Ordinary, decent ginseng will suffice; it doesn't need to be top-grade.

When he rushed over, the two physicians were examining the three ginseng roots, which were said to be over a hundred years old.

Shen Ning found it amusing to see the way He Yuanzheng's eyes were shining.

This old man definitely didn't come for her.

"Professor He has arrived at just the right time."

Shen Ning smiled and said, "How's the ginseng being prepared?"

"...Excellent, excellent!"

He Yuanzheng held the plump, yellowish thing with roots and fibrous roots, which looked like a small person, and his eyes shone. "Although there is ginseng in the madam's medicine, this thing should not be overused."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Three-drug!
Shen Ning prefers dietary therapy.

She is currently taking the two dietary therapy prescriptions given to her by Dr. He.

I feel okay.

Besides, she has completed the 49-day vegetarian diet and now she can eat whatever she wants without any restrictions. Her appetite is also slowly returning.

As long as no further accidents occur, I still have the confidence to take good care of my health.

She felt she would get better and better, while Suo Jin of the Huitong Hall was suffering unprecedented pain.

The physician was giving him acupuncture.

The first set of acupuncture he received was very effective, and it resolved his headache and chest tightness. However, the doctor said that he had an even better set of acupuncture techniques. Because his illness had been delayed for a long time, coupled with the pain from his old injuries, if it was not cured soon, he would experience frequent headaches and chest tightness in the future.

If things go wrong and treatment isn't timely, there's even a chance of an accident.

Suo Jin is afraid of death!

He doesn't want to die.

The older people get, the more afraid they are of dying.

Naturally, I asked him to do another set of acupuncture.

I didn't expect it to really hurt.

Suo Jin wanted to call a halt.

Before starting, Dr. Fang said that this set of acupuncture needles would be extremely painful for the patient.

If it's stopped, it will be abandoned halfway.

He endures it!

I endured the sweat beading on my forehead and the dampness creeping into my clothes.

Not to mention the guards were terrified, even Tie Bao and Wohe, who were summoned over, were extremely worried.

The veins on the old man's forehead were throbbing.

His eyes bulged out.

I don't know why, but I always have this feeling that he's about to stretch out his legs and become a corpse at any moment.

Woch, half-supported by his body, glanced at the scene a few times before finally giving up and ordering his guards to carry him away.

He fears!
Fang Langzhong is very skilled at bone setting.

But it was very painful for him several times when he was setting my bones.

Seeing the old man like this, he felt a pain in his own bones.

"Ah~~~~"

As the needle was inserted again, Suo Jin cried out in pain, "I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, pull it out... pull it out!"

If we don't pull it out soon, he'll be in excruciating pain.

"Five more stitches!"

Doctor Fang wanted him to feel more pain, saying, "Are you really not able to hold on any longer? Just hold on a little longer and it will be over."

Suo Jin: "..."

He shut his mouth and tried his best to hold back.

But when the needle was inserted again, all the veins in his body bulged, and it could be said that all the tendons in his body were stretching and in pain.

"No, pull it out, pull it out, pull it out!" (End of Chapter)
