Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 34 Typhoid Fever
After entering the city, Li Qing first went to the Sheriff's Mansion to pay a visit to the Sheriff, and at the same time submitted the transfer document so that he could take up the post smoothly.

The governor of Dongyang County, surnamed Wu, styled Wenbin, looked about forty years old, and looked very kind. When he saw him take office, he was very enthusiastic and asked people to kill pigs and sheep, and arranged a banquet, saying that he was to clean up the dust for him. .

During the dinner, including Xie Duan, the two sides got to know each other for a while, and the county guard taught him earnestly, and they had high hopes for Li Qing.

Li Qing accepted it humbly and agreed frequently. At the same time, Li Qing also learned the real reason for his promotion from him.

Needless to say about external factors, his political achievements are the best answer. As for internal factors, it turned out to be the recommendation of his mentor.

The examiner's surname in Li Qing's rural examination was Zhao, so the students of that class were called Mr. Zhao. He was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy and also served as a professor of the state school. He was relatively pedantic.

I remember that I had an argument with him about the "New Deal" or "conservative" at the beginning, but I didn't know his real identity at the time, and I thought he was an old pedant who talked about state affairs, so I scolded him for being old and pedantic. After reacting, I was terrified in my heart.

Later, I won the election and went to Shanyin County, but I never saw him again, and because I was busy with work on weekdays, I didn't have a chance to meet him.

It's really unexpected that he still remembered himself, and even chose to give him a hand at such a critical moment, which made Li Qing feel deeply ashamed.

It seems that if there is an opportunity, he must go to Beijing to thank him.

The banquet did not end until you in the afternoon. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Qing immediately bid farewell to Junshou Wu and went to the county government to take up his post.

Not long after, I arrived at East Street, but I saw a lot of people in official uniforms standing on both sides of the archway outside the yamen on East Street, waiting specially.

Because it is a county government, the county government office occupies the central street. As for the Changshan county office, it is located on the East Street, facing the government office far away.

Seeing the carriage approaching, those people rushed forward to greet him.

"The county magistrate, chief secretary, and county lieutenant of Changshan County are here to wait for the new magistrate to take office." Several people bowed their hands together in salute, with respectful expressions.

Li Qing got out of the carriage, greeted the crowd, and then went straight into the county government office. First, he settled his family members, and then ordered the two dead attendants and a servant girl to be buried, so as to deal with the funeral affairs.

Li Qing, the county magistrate of Changshan County, has officially taken office since then.

In the next few days, after getting familiar with the environment of the yamen, Li Qing devoted himself to the office, processing all the official documents that had been idle before taking office.

As for Xie Duan, he also devoted himself to the study of practice.

Hearing that the new county magistrate had arrived, the local wealthy and gentry couldn't help but send gifts one after another, and even threw a big banquet to please him.

All in all, I just want to take this opportunity to curry favor with him.

Li Qing didn't reject this, but at the same time, he didn't reject anyone who came. He accepted what should be accepted, and returned everything that shouldn't be accepted.

Having been an official for so many years, he still understands the officialdom. It can be said that he is well versed in the way of being an official. If he does not give him a chance, he wants to sit comfortably in this position. Ren, may fall tomorrow.

So in this regard, he had to learn to be more tactful.

……

The dead are like this, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Winter is gradually entering, and the weather is getting a little bit colder.

The yin-yang talisman money absorbed the beauty's head's spiritual qi, although not a lot, but as the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and the refinement fed back to Xie Duan, which still increased the spiritual qi in his dantian a lot.

Demons and ghosts are not so easy to meet, and even if they do, if the difference in strength is too great, he may not be able to take life, so for him, what he lacks most now is obviously the spell talisman.

I went shopping in the city in the past few days, and there are quite a few monk temples. It is really rare to see a Taoist temple. Even if there is, the Taoist priests in it will only sing Taoist sentiments and perform rituals, and they do not belong to the Taoist sect with Dharma lineage inheritance.

In fact, think about it, the Taoists who can really cultivate immortals all live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers, and it is as difficult for ordinary people to meet them.

There are quite a few fortune tellers on the street, claiming to be the disciples of a certain god, all of them boasting loudly, Xie Duan tried it once with a fluke mentality, and he is even more amateurish than a charlatan.

It is really difficult to find a high-level Taoist like Yan Yizhen.

Fortunately, although there is no gain in this aspect, the Yin Talisman Heart Sutra in my mind, when I look at it now, I can vaguely understand it.

He knew in his heart that it was the result of his own study of Taoism, and he already had a certain foundation before he knew it, so it didn't take as much effort to understand it at the beginning, but there was still a long way to go to comprehend it.

Li Qing had been wandering outside from time to time since he saw him these days, and he was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart. There was only less than a year left before the provincial examination, and he was still so idle, so it was impossible to continue like this.

In a blink of an eye, he will be in his twenties, and he has to make plans for the future, and he can't stay with his sister and brother-in-law all the time. Although he is fully capable of taking care of her, it will inevitably make people laugh when this matter spreads.

So after thinking about it, he planned to arrange for him to study in the county school.

The Daqi Dynasty paid attention to the cultivation and selection of talents, so there were government schools in various places. From counties to prefectures, they were divided into three types of schools: county schools, county schools, and state schools. The highest school was the Taixue of the capital.

The state school is not here, and the imperial school cannot be climbed. If you think about it, only the county school is available, but the county school is not under his control. If you want to enter it for further study, opening up the relationship is an indispensable step.

For this reason, he specially took time out today to visit the teacher of the county school. Fortunately, everything went well, and it was much simpler than he imagined.

It has to be said that it is convenient to do things with power and power.

At this moment, after bidding farewell to Master Jiaoyu, Li Qing got into the car and went back to the residence, ready to tell Xie Duan the news, for him, he had worried a lot.

Unexpectedly, he had just entered the inner house of the mansion when he heard a burst of weeping, he was surprised and asked the porter next to him.

"What happened?"

The boy had a sad face and hesitantly responded.

"Return to your lord, yes... yes... it is the young master who is sick."

Hearing this, Li Qing was startled for a moment, and then strode forward.

He followed the sound to the east wing, stepped in, and saw the eldest son Li Yuanqi lying on the bed, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he was unconscious.

His wife, Xie Ying, was sitting in front of the bed, sobbing, soaking a handkerchief to wipe his face, while two servant girls waited beside him, not daring to speak.

"Qi Er, Qi Er!"

He stepped forward quickly, with an anxious expression, and called twice.

"How is this going?"

Seeing him coming, Xie Ying wiped away tears and explained.

"My child...the child has typhoid fever!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Qing froze on the spot.

"What? Why don't you call for a doctor? Quickly call for a doctor!"

He reacted quickly and hurriedly ordered to the attendant.

"I have already invited one. The doctor said that our Qi'er was originally weak, and now he suddenly contracted typhoid fever, and the disease has entered the lungs. The situation is already very serious, and he said that there is nothing he can do."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help crying again.

"Powerless? What is powerlessness! It's a quack doctor. Come here, and then go and hire me, the best doctor in the city."

Li Qing sat in front of the couch. Although he controlled his emotions, it was enough to see from his eyes that he was extremely worried right now.

"Qi'er will be fine, I don't believe God is so cruel."

He reached out and stroked Li Yuanqi's head, frowning.
