Chapter 274 275 Qi Family
Mr. Wen looked at Mr. Qian, smiled with Zhou Jia and the two clerks, "The child's father was also a doctor before. After his father left, he took his mother with him and made a living by writing letters of faith to others. He was a filial man. My child, I don’t know why I am so depressed.”
Mr. Qian thought about it and said: "Maybe he didn't learn his father's medical skills and lost the ability to eat. As time goes by, he becomes more and more miserable."
Mr. Wen shook his head, "He said he had never studied medicine. He had been studying when his father was alive."
Mr. Qian thought of his past and laughed at himself, "Oh! Bai Wuyi is a scholar. If he had medical skills, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state."
Half an hour later, the three waiters from the restaurant brought a table of food to the small courtyard. There were pig trotters stewed with soybeans, stir-fried side dishes, pork liver... These were all home-cooked meals, and everyone had been busy all morning. On the way, they sat at a table and started eating. After everyone had a good meal, Tie Zhu accompanied Ah Wei out of the city to deliver medicine.
A group of government officials came to the entrance of the alley, surrounded by a middle-aged man with a medium build, a Chinese character face, yellowish skin, wearing a blue public uniform and a futou on his head. They walked towards the alley. A group of people walked to the door of Mr. Wen's courtyard. A government servant with a few pockmarks on the tip of his nose came forward, pointed to the small courtyard, and smiled flatteringly: "Master Yang, the old miracle doctor lives here."
County Magistrate Yang thought of his colleagues in the neighboring county and told him that the magistrate was unparalleled in beauty, was not a womanizer and was not polite, and would not spare small mistakes but big ones, so he told himself to be careful not to make mistakes in his hands. I thought this was the case. Mr. Zhou won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. He didn't want to come early today. He happened to see a gangster bullying his husband in the street. It was unlucky. However, he has a pair of peerless twins. No matter how bad he is with women, he will Lost his eyes.
Magistrate Yang straightened his clothes and glanced at the yamen servant. The yamen servant knocked on the door and stepped aside. Magistrate Yang stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Zhou, your subordinate Yang Xian has come to pay his respects."
After Zhou Jia listened inside, he raised his eyebrows. He found this place so quickly. Master Yang was quite attentive! But I don’t seem to be that attentive to other things!
Zhaocai stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, turning sideways and saying, "Please, Mr. Yang."
Magistrate Yang bowed his hands politely, stepped forward, bowed his head to Zhou Jiachang and said, "I am late to greet you, sir. I hope you will forgive me!"
Zhou Jia said calmly: "Master Yang, please excuse me. I came in a hurry and did not inform you in time."
Mr. Wen said to Zhou Jia: "Jiahe, I don't need you to accompany me here. You go and do your official duties." Magistrate Yang quickly stepped forward to salute again. Mr. Wen said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, a bad old man, you are busy with your business." ."
Zhou Jia knew that his husband didn't like these red tapes the most, and there was a large group of people standing outside. He smiled and said: "Sir, I'll go and come back."
Mr. Wen waved his hand and watched Zhou Jia and others leave.
Ah Wei and Tie Zhu bought some buns and steamed buns on the street and took them to a thatched hut outside the city.
Tie Zhu saw that the ruined temple outside Leng County was filled with thatched shacks and was inhabited by people who were seeking a living in the city.
Awei took him to the two huts at the end and heard a heartbreaking cough.
Ah Wei said to Tiezhu: "Aunt Qi is not in good health. The old lady came to see her a few days ago and found these herbs for her."
Tie Zhu looked at the low thatched hut and the dirt at the door. He felt that although his family was sold into slavery, they were lucky compared to the Qi family. The master and his wife were generous to others, and he had grown up a lot with the master. experience.
Ah Wei carried the medicine and steamed buns, walked to the door, and shouted: "Brother Qi, Aunt Yu, I have brought you medicine."
Qi Zhanpeng walked to the door with a gloomy face and said to Awei: "Go away, I don't care about your pity."
Ah Wei looked at Qi Zhanpeng and was stunned for a moment. He raised the medicine in his hand to him, looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, this is the medicine my old man went to the mountain to collect. He has just prepared it, and there are still a few ointments. You were kicked a few times by those gangsters today, it must be very painful."
Qi Zhanpeng looked at Awei's smiling face and could no longer look cold. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Awei, you and the old man are both good people, but your master is in the same group as those officials. Don't come here in the future." No, I don’t want these medicines, you can take them back.”
Tiezhu listened to Qi Zhanpeng's words and felt uncomfortable. He stepped forward and pulled Awei away to look at him and said: "My old man is worried that you can't afford medicine. At such an old age, he goes up the mountain to collect medicine for your mother, prepares it and sends it to you." You, you said that being an official is unaffordable, why does my master's being an official hinder you? It's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart."
Ah Wei also looked at Qi Zhanpeng with a disappointed look on his face, "Brother Qi, my master is a good official. If you say this, I will ignore you." Ah Wei stuffed the medicine and steamed buns into his arms, "These medicines are My old man prepared it for Aunt Qi, and no one else can drink it. If you don't want it, just throw it away!" After saying that, he took Tiezhu and left.
Qi Zhanpeng looked at Ah Wei and Tie Zhu who were walking away, looked at the medicine and food in his arms, sighed, still reluctant to throw away the things in his arms, and carried them into the house.
Aunt Yu was lying on the bed, gasping for breath and said to Zhan Peng: "Peng'er! In this world, there will be evil doctors like Shengshoutang who don't cure diseases and save people, but only want money, and there will also be doctors like Doctor Wen who are dedicated to treating diseases and saving people. Do. The same is true for officials. There are good and honest officials. Besides, I believe in Dr. Wen. Why don’t you try to talk to him about our family’s grievances and see if you can restore your father’s innocence and your innocence as well.”
After listening to Yu's words, Qi Zhanpeng felt that what she said was reasonable. He remembered that he had not listened to his mother and had gone his own way, thinking that everything in the world was the same as what the sages taught. Little did he know that the principles taught by the sages could only be used in books. Go, I quickly realized the cruelty and darkness of this world, and the close friend who just exchanged cups with you turned into the person who harmed you and wronged you in the blink of an eye.
Qi Zhanpeng looked at his old and thin mother lying on the bed and regretted: "Mom, I am a useless child. I don't know people well and I was deceived. I asked you to live a hard life with me."
Yu coughed a few times and took a breath, "I don't blame you. My parents only wanted to let you study and gain fame. They forgot to tell you that people's hearts are sinister, and they forgot to teach you how to be a good person..."
Yu coughed again as she spoke, and Qi Zhanpeng quickly helped her lie down, "Mom, don't worry, I'll go find Dr. Wen later. You must be hungry! Awei also brought steamed buns, which are still hot. You eat two first to fill your stomach, and I'll make some medicine for you." Mrs. Yu looked at her son and nodded happily.
Qi Zhanpeng gave Yu the medicine to drink and watched her fall asleep. Then he went out and gently closed the door and walked towards the city.
