The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 251
Also, as a former little lady, she later married as a woman and lived in Li's family for nearly 30 years. How could Shi not understand Fang Qingqing's mood now?

So she turned to comfort her: "Silly girl, I will understand if you don't tell me. Don't worry, we will definitely go back when we have time in the next year."

"Well, mother, next time we go back together, you can also see your friends in your hometown."

This topic is destined to be a bit sad, and it is not suitable for chatting on such a festive day as the Chinese New Year, so the family is lively during the New Year's Eve dinner.

Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law mentioned this again, and the others were happy for this year's good year, and they didn't think about it.

After the new year, everyone originally planned to take advantage of these few days to take a good rest, even if they were busy with things, they had to wait until after the Lantern Festival.

As a result, it was only the fifth day of the new year, and Fang Qingqing realized that her vacation was wasted!
She's a poor little lady with no holidays.

It was supposed to be on the first and second day of the new year, but because there are many relatives in the family, it was delayed.

Considering that Li's family does not need to visit relatives, Jing Rui chose to visit Li's family on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

He thought he could have a good drink with Li Xiuping and have a deep discussion about the current situation in the court.

In the end, I went to Li's house and just chatted with Li Xiuping for a while, and suddenly the other party asked him: "Do you have anything else to do today?"

Jing Rui shook his head, and Li Xiuping said, "Then you go out with me."

He didn't say where he was going, and left with someone, including a few younger children from the Li family.

Jing Rui was still at a loss here, when he realized that he had been taken outside the city, and it turned out that it was quite lively here.

But it's not the kind of excitement among the people going in and out of the city, but it seems that someone is building a shed?

Fang Qingqing was busy, and all the doctors and apprentices from the Baoantang were standing with her, and even the shopkeeper Zhang Da came.

Originally, shopkeeper Zhang Da didn't intend to inform Fang Qingqing, she was young and a lady.

It was Dr. Chen who felt that this was a good opportunity to practice, that's why Fang Qingqing was brought along.

Because the two families had been in contact several times, Jing Rui also knew that the young lady was Li Xiuping's fiancée, and Dr. Chen from Baoan Tang was very famous in the capital.

Jing Rui also knew that he was a little puzzled by the busy situation in front of him, so he asked Li Xiuping, "What is this for?"

"Free clinic." Li Xiuping explained succinctly: "Originally, before the Chinese New Year, several big pharmacies in the capital would jointly hold free clinics.

However, the snow was too heavy a year ago and it was inconvenient, so the free clinic time was postponed this time, considering the cold spring and the poor people's life is not easy.

Just before the end of the new year, the free clinic was held on the fifth day of the lunar new year. "

This is a kind act of several pharmacies, and it is said to be the kindness of the shopkeeper.

In fact, the benefits are also very obvious, but this is in the capital, at the foot of the emperor.

The pharmacy does not need to pay much to do such a thing, but it can make a name for itself at once, and maybe the emperor and the ministers of the court will also know about it.

Moreover, there will be merchants and wealthy households who contribute money and efforts, and pharmacies can make a steady profit by doing such a thing.

But at the same time, the poor people have also benefited in real terms, so holding free clinics is really a good way for win-win.

However, because it was jointly held by several pharmacies, and someone needed to come forward to maintain order, the county government really took the lead in this matter.

Originally, Li Xiuping was an official affiliated to the Imperial Academy and had little to do with this matter, but he voluntarily signed up for this free clinic in order to help Fang Qingqing.

Anyway, it is a holiday now and he volunteers to participate without paying him money. Of course the people in the county government are willing, which is a bit similar to the meaning of "volunteer".

For Li Xiuping, this is also a kind of experience of life, he does not just want to get qualifications in the Imperial Academy.

It is true that the purpose of Li Xiuping's study at the beginning was to let his family members live a good life.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high, and for scholars, the only way out is to become an official.

Study, take the imperial examination, and pass the exam to shine on the lintel.

When he can really become an official, he needs to think more,
At this time, Li Xiuping not only hoped that his family's life would be better, but also hoped that the common people would have a better life.

He himself was a farmer, and he watched his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law working hard in the fields day after day, but he could only watch the sky for food.

Sometimes, even though I have been exhausted for a whole year without taking a break, I can't even fill my stomach because of various disasters and food shortages.

There are also many times, even though I work diligently every day and the harvest is very good, I still can't eat enough.

Because not all the food received can be moved into the yard of one's own house, and one needs to...

Li Xiuping hoped that if he becomes an official in the future, he can get in touch with real dignitaries, preferably His Majesty the Emperor.

At that time, he hoped that he could talk to the emperor about reducing taxes and corvees, so that the lives of ordinary people could be easier.

And this is not just something that can be done by sitting in the Imperial Academy as an official. He needs to truly understand the suffering of the people in order to be qualified to speak to the above.

Contacting the free clinic is only one of the steps, and this can also help Qingqing, so Li Xiuping not only came by himself, but also brought a few nephews to help.

The big one and the second one are okay, the three and four are still studying, and the future is promising.

The news of the free clinic had been leaked by the imperial court on purpose years ago, and the township chiefs and village chiefs passed it down one by one, trying to let as many people as possible know.

Generally speaking, the subjects of free clinics are poor and lower-middle peasants.

After going through such a cold winter, they will more or less have some diseases and injuries on their bodies, but they are generally not willing to spend money to see a doctor.

The pharmacies participating in the free clinic will not only send doctors to see the doctor on-site, but also distribute some cheap medicines for free.

It is also very friendly to many people.

Originally, Fang Qingqing was with Dr. Chen and was not qualified to see a doctor alone, but Dr. Chen thought of what they mentioned in their daily chat:

The little lady of the Fang family hopes that more women in the world will have the opportunity to see a doctor.

There are many prejudices in the world, so generally it is the gentleman who can go to the pharmacy or ask the doctor to come to the door for treatment. Whether it is a woman or a young lady, most of them survive on their own when they are sick.

Could it be that they are in better health or have a better tolerance for pain, so they don't need to see a doctor?

No, it's just because of the prejudice of the world that people think that men and women are different. It is obviously not good for a woman to see a male doctor when she is sick.

What the little lady of the Fang family thought was, if there were many female doctors in the world, wouldn't there be more women who could get reasonable medical treatment when they were sick?
