Chapter 163

That afternoon, Imperial Physician Fang came to Cui's house with a generous gift.

He didn't post a message in advance, Cui Ge was not at home, the concierge wouldn't let him in at all, so he simply knelt down at the gate of Cui's house.

Mrs. Cui just sneered when she heard about it: "This imperial doctor Fang is really interesting. There are hundreds if not thousands of people who come to our house every day to see him. Does our family elder come to see anyone at random? Anyone with a little brain , I know to send a greeting card in advance, and then come to visit after I get a reply. He ran over recklessly, and when Mr. Ge didn't see him, he just knelt outside? Who was he kneeling for? He Do you like to kneel? Then let him kneel until the old man comes back! Otherwise, if everyone follows him and kneels at the gate and has to be received, then the old man is not exhausted? This matter, you guys Pretend he didn’t see it, let him kneel properly!”

The boy who came over to deliver the message did not expect her to say such a thing.But seeing Mrs. Cui's calm face, not looking angry, he quickly bowed his head and backed away.

After the person left, Mrs. Zheng also shook her head and said in a low voice: "This Imperial Physician Fang, I thought he was okay before, and he was respectful to nobles. But since he climbed up to Concubine Wu Hui, his temper has become more and more arrogant. Until now Even if he begged for help, he would not beg hard, kneeling at the door of our house like this, do you think we will invite him in for the sake of Concubine Wu Hui? What does he think of our Cui family's gate?"

"He still wants to use Concubine Wu Hui to suppress us!" Mrs. Cui sneered, "It's a pity that our family is indeed a family that wants face. It's just that this face is earned by ourselves, not just given by others! He will kneel to death In front of our house, he asked for it himself, we didn't force him! In the end, he was the one who lost face the most, not us."

"Auntie is right. This matter was originally a small fight among the juniors, and we the juniors can solve it in private. Now that Fang Taiyi is going to find Uncle when he comes to the house, he just escalates the matter to the public. There is a gap between the two clans, and the structure of their Fang family is too small. Isn't it just a few medicines, why do you let him push each other so hard?"

"It is said that loving mothers often lose children. Now Fang's family is not only loving mothers, but also loving fathers. Can they not teach a useless son? From the beginning to the end, their sons did something wrong, and their sons were punished. Fight, but in the end it was my old father who came forward. If it were me, I would rather hang myself with a rope than tear myself down for such a son!" Madam Cui sighed, " It's a pity that their family's foundation is still shallow after all, and they don't understand this truth at all."

"It doesn't matter if they don't understand now. After a few more years, they will naturally understand. It's a pity that it will be difficult to regret it later." Zheng said, "Then, don't let Liulang and the others know about this?"

"What do you want them to know? Doctor Fang came to the door, did he mention a word about them? He didn't say anything, just knelt at the gate, who knows what he came for?" Madam Cui said coldly.

Zheng nodded. "Daughter-in-law understands." As expected, no one was called to inform Mu Jiaojiao and his wife of the matter.

In fact, even if she didn't tell, how could Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu not know?The news that Fang Yixiu was beaten up by Schedule Nineteen Niang spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City in the blink of an eye.It's just that the Fang family didn't make a fuss for a long time, so the others were naturally happy to watch the fun, and only spread some rumors in private.

Today, Imperial Physician Fang took the initiative to come to the door, and his deeds were so obvious that everyone soon found out.Cui Pu was originally a person who couldn't bear to be lonely, and the group of Xiaosi'er under him looked like a group of monkeys, running around the house when they had nothing to do, so it wasn't long before Doctor Fang knelt down, and the first-hand news was that It has been delivered to Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao's ears.

After hearing this, Cui Pu imitated Mrs. Cui and sneered: "No wonder this doctor Fang is appreciated by Concubine Wu Hui. He is really good at pretending to be stupid. Anyone who is too smart, who doesn't like being around him?" More fools for her to make fun of? Now that he kneels like this, although he doesn't say anything, everyone knows it well. In this way, he can save a lot of face, and in one fell swoop, the process of things has been greatly pushed forward."

"He will act stupid, so wouldn't aunts and uncles pretend to be crazy?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, "Let's just wait and see! It's not easy for him to get the medicine."

"Of course I know it won't be that easy. It's just that what this person has done really disgusts me. At the beginning, he was cheating and abducting, but now he is forcing every step of the way. Anyway, he just refuses to bow his head and admit his mistake! Could it be that he If you think you’ve made a mistake, it means that their Baicao Hall is not as good as ours, and I’m afraid we won’t succeed in the business of robbing their Baicao Hall’s royal medicinal materials in the future? I don’t even bother with that kind of false name!” Cui Pu said angrily.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head weakly: "He's the arsenic, my honey. The things you don't like, maybe they are the treasures in other people's hearts! His vision is just there, and he can't pay attention to your thoughts at all. How about you? How can you be angry with someone who is not on the same level as yourself?"

Hearing her words, Cui Pu's chest suddenly opened up. "You mean, why am I angry with him? We are not on the same level at all!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mu Jiaojiao again: "Tell me, why can you always put your words into the hearts of others every time you open your mouth? Could it be that you can really read other people's hearts?"

"If I was really that powerful, I would have captured you long ago, why would I let you fight for your life under my hands?" Mu Jiaojiao gave him a sideways look with ill intentions.

Cui Pu pouted immediately. "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore!" This woman could always shut his mouth shut with a few words.Especially like the words just now, when I talked about it with other little ladies before, seeing the incomparably shy appearance of the little ladies, I felt very refreshed in my heart.But now, when it was his turn to be said that by a little lady, the feeling in his heart... was really mixed.

But—after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but ask again: "Have you prepared all those medicines?"

"It's ready. Whenever you want to take it out, just ask someone to come to me to get it." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Look, she not only speaks sharply, but also moves very fast.No matter what you ask her, she can always give you a positive answer.This makes people want to catch her, but they can't grasp it!
When will she let him grab her and make fun of her?
Cui Pu sighed helplessly. "Okay, I get it now."

In this way, Imperial Physician Fang knelt at the gate of Cui Mansion for a whole afternoon, until Elder Cui Ge came back from outside and saw him kneeling outside, he was shocked and quickly asked someone to invite him in.

At this time, Imperial Physician Fang was already kneeling until his legs were numb and his head was covered in cold sweat.

After being carried in by two servants, his legs were still unable to move an inch, and they were itchy and numb when touched casually, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Elder Cui Ge looked concerned: "Physician Fang, do you want it? Otherwise, I'll ask someone to invite the doctor to come and see it for you?"

"No, no, no, Fang is a doctor himself, what other doctor do I need? I just knelt for too long, and my legs and feet are sore and numb. Sit for a while and wait for the numbness to pass." Fang The imperial physician quickly apologized.

In fact, he has a lot of ways to relieve this numbness, but he has no intention of doing it.After all, since he has been pretending to be pitiful all afternoon, now that it is so easy to wait for the person who can be the right leader of the Cui family to come back, he will naturally continue to pretend.Otherwise, wouldn't all the hardships he suffered before be in vain?

Hearing what he said, Elder Cui Ge didn't insist any more, and just sighed: "Mr. Fang, why are you so honest? Since my wife has already told you clearly that I am not in the house, please change another day." Come again, why do you have to wait outside? Even if you want to wait for me to come back, you can just wait in the car, why do you have to kneel? Aren’t you an old man? "

It sounds ashamed to hear you say it, but the expression on your face is completely different!You clearly came home late on purpose, right?Physician Fang thought to himself.

Indeed, he deliberately picked the days when Cui Ge was away.It's just that he had secretly asked someone to inquire about it a long time ago, and he knew that Mr. Cui Ge went out today to meet with Zhong Shuling and others to discuss matters.If there is no accident, you will be able to return around the application time.That's why he came here about an hour earlier, thinking that kneeling for an hour would not be too strenuous, but it would be enough to show sincerity.But he never thought that Mr. Cui Ge had delayed his return for more than an hour.By now, it was already getting dark outside, and he was kneeling until his whole body almost lost consciousness!

If it was said that the Cui family did not join hands to suppress him, he would not believe it!
It's just that now he has something to ask for from others, no matter how much dissatisfaction he has in his heart, he has no choice but to suppress it.

So, he quietly pinched his back waist, and tears rolled out of his eyes immediately: "Old Cui Ge, I know it's wrong to come here today, but I really have nothing to do! My son, now he has a high fever, no matter how many medicines he used, only the Mu’s Baicao Hall replied that they have a medicine that will definitely be effective, but this medicine can only be made by the wife of Liu Shao in your house. But Liu Shao Madam said that she was unwell, and she couldn't do it now, and she had to wait for a few days to rest. But now that life is at stake, how can I wait? The official is suffering so much, so I have to come to Mr. Cui Ge for help. Intercede with Mrs. Sixth Young Master, and beg her to make the medicine quickly! Otherwise, she will tell the lower official the medicinal materials, and the lower official can go back and make it by himself! I really can't afford it!"

Cui Ge couldn't help being happy when he heard this.

Is your imperial physician here to beg for help or to sue?You really deserved to sue my daughter-in-law in front of me as an uncle!
Moreover, you either force people to rush to make medicines, or ask others for prescriptions. Is this your attitude of begging for help?No wonder Cui Pu kept rejecting them, and no wonder Mrs. Cui let him kneel outside.This person is really relying on Concubine Wu Hui's power, he doesn't know how to measure more and more!
Old Cui Ge said: "So it is like this? Human life is at stake, and it is true that there is no delay. I will ask someone to urge her." Then he called a young man to pass the message.

The boy will be back soon. "Back to the old man, I didn't see Mrs. Six. Mrs. Six said she was not feeling well today, and she has already fallen asleep."
