Rebirth Jade Fate

Chapter 15 Bribery
The old doctor cleaned his hands and said to Wei Qingyu: "When the medicine is ready, you can just feed him. The most important thing is tonight. If you survive tonight, you will be fine tomorrow."

Wei Qingyu nodded, took care of the stove attentively, and changed Wei Qingtong's towel at the same time.

The old doctor went out to see a doctor.

"Hey," the boy came in with a bowl of rotten porridge. "When your brother wakes up, feed him. Only when he is full will he have the strength to recover."

"You know a lot."

"Naturally," the young man was a little proud, "Dr. Yu told me that." The young man glanced at Wei Qingzhen, hesitated and said, "Doctor Yu also said that your brother's body is too weak. Even if I get through this time, I have to make up for it, otherwise..."

If he didn't understand Wei Qingtong's body, Wei Qingzhen really thought that this boy, like the doctor just now, was trying to coax her into buying good medicine to earn her money.

"I know, I already asked the old doctor to help prescribe some prescriptions for invigorating qi and blood." Thinking of how she almost killed Brother Tong in the morning, the fire in her heart couldn't be suppressed, if it wasn't for Brother Tong now She couldn't do without people, she had already smashed the hospital.

Seeing the murderous look in her eyes, the little guy was startled, and quickly moved away from her, "Don't mess around, since that person can open a medical clinic in Dongshi, no one has been looking for trouble, how much is it?" At least it has something to do with it, if you really do something, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along in Dongshi in the future."

That's true, but she will always keep this account in mind. When Brother Tong's health improves, she must disguise herself and smash his clinic.

When Wei Qingyu left, he took ten taels of silver tonic with him.

Mrs. Min stuffed two packs of medicine into the mouth, and said in a low voice: "... boil it with two bowls of water and give it to the Fourth Young Master. If the fever doesn't go away, I will think of a way." She was so helpless, she couldn't think of anything to do.

Although Wei's gate was not very strictly controlled, it took her a lot of effort to bring in these two packs of medicine from outside, let alone bring a doctor in.

Wei Qingzhen was very grateful, anyway, it was also a wish from the other party.

However, Mrs. Zhao pulled Mrs. Min and said, "You underestimate the third girl too much. She was brought up by the eldest lady. I smelled the smell of medicine in the morning and just now...Let's not talk about medicine, there is not much firewood in there. How did the third girl cook the medicine?"

Mrs. Min said indifferently: "You also said that the eldest lady is amazing, she will always leave something for the third girl... I just want to repay the eldest lady's kindness."

Granny Zhao's gossiping heart was half extinguished, but sometimes she still couldn't help thinking, where did the third girl get the medicine?
Fortunately, she has been in the mansion for decades. Although her mouth is broken, she also knows what can and cannot be said, so she never mentioned it to anyone, and she discusses it with Mrs. Min from time to time, but Mrs. Min is tight-lipped, most of the time It's all about her asking herself the questions.

Wei Qingtong pouted and turned her head away, "Don't eat..."

Wei Qingyu coaxed him: "Can you take another spoonful? My sister will give you two candies when you take the medicine later."

Wei Qingzhen wrinkled his little nose and said aggrievedly, "I don't want to eat..."

Wei Qingzhen sighed, why don't children like to eat when they are sick?
"Just eat a little bit, or you'll be hungry at night."

Wei Qingtong opened his small mouth, and after swallowing a few grains of rice, he refused to open his mouth no matter what.

Wei Qingyu no longer forced him, put his toys on the kang, pulled the quilt over and went to sleep. If she had to guard him at night, she would definitely not be able to sleep, so she could only squint now.

Wei Qingtong slept for a whole day, and now the fever subsided temporarily, and she regained her spirits. Seeing her sister sleeping, she obediently played with toys on the kang by herself.

Except for Wei Qingyu who didn't sleep tonight, Xiao Wu and Mrs. Min also didn't sleep. Both of them were thinking about Wei Qingtong's illness. Children with fever are the most likely to kill people, not to mention Wei Qingtong's body, whether he can survive it or not a few days...

In the palace compound far away, the emperor also suffered from insomnia. He tossed and turned on the dragon bed, and finally got up with his clothes on. The servant heard the noise and wanted to come in to serve him. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down, I can do it myself."

It was already in the middle of the night, and the sky began to snow again. Although it was only a little bit, it must be very cold when it dripped on people's skin...

The emperor's face was a little ugly, and resentment flashed in his eyes, but most of them were worried.

The courtiers can take the lives of the people to gamble with him, but he can't, those are all his people!
If he really allows the disaster to expand today, how will future generations comment on him?

The emperor shook his fist...

The imperial court issued a decree, and the imperial court presided over the construction of disaster shelters outside the north and south city gates. Every day at noon, the imperial court distributed porridge according to human hair. Wealthy households in the capital moved upon hearing the news, and many of them sent out slaves to set up porridge sheds outside the two city gates... Some families even sent quilts and cotton clothes to the victims, but that was the case. still a lot...

Because the Chinese New Year is coming, the streets are filled with lanterns and festoons, and Dongshi, which was somewhat deserted due to the snowstorm, is also bustling a lot. Because the victims of the disaster were expelled from the capital, there is not a single beggar in the streets, and there are no ones who are green with hunger. Staring at her closely, Wei Qingzhen was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sore in his heart, but at the same time relieved.

She walked quickly to Tongrentang, because the imperial court imposed limited control on some medicines, she had to queue at Tongrentang every day.

Seeing her, the little guy opened his mouth and smiled, remembered something, and said with a serious face: "You came too late today, you see, everyone has queued outside, I guess you have to queue today Went tonight."

Wei Qingzhen frowned slightly, she spent more and more time queuing up every day, and she blamed Wei Qingtong, this morning for some reason, she just refused to enter the space, and insisted on rolling on the kang with her arms in vain.

She was really worried that he was alone at home, what if he ran out to play mischievously again?The last time he had a fever was caused by running out to play in the snow while she was not paying attention and catching a cold.

Although there is no major problem now, Wei Qingtong's health has become worse, and the medicine can't be stopped every day. Because she thinks the medicine is three-point poisonous, she spent money to buy him a few taels of bird's nest to stew. But the effect is not great.

"Little brother, can you tell the old doctor to let me buy medicine for two days at a time, as you know, I still have a lot of things to do every day, but now more and more people buy medicine..."

The little guy looked around, pulled Wei Qingyu aside, and said in a low voice: "It's useless, more and more people are sick in the city now, most of them are cold and fever, and it is said that it is even more serious outside the city... We don’t have much reserves in our store, and I heard from the shopkeeper in private that we need to transfer the goods from Beizhili.” The young man’s face was full of sorrow, “It’s just that there are not many medicines there, and I don’t know how to get them evenly. How much come over..."

Wei Qingyu was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Are there many sick people in the city?"

The little guy nodded, motioned to the crowd with his chin, and said, "Look, every pharmacy is full of people, and you should go to the queue, or you won't be able to buy it today." Then, he left Wei Qingyu who was still in a daze, I ran to the pharmacy and got busy.

Wei Qingzhen felt a little cold in her heart, why did she sound so flu-like?

To be honest, she was really not afraid of the flu before, and she just watched it when it was broadcast on TV, sighing, the annual flu season is here again.

But, it is ancient times now, even buying a medicine has to be queued for a long time, and it is expected that the medicine will be discontinued in the future... Bah, whoever believes that the medicine is discontinued, the specialty class will definitely buy it, the Wei family They may belong to the special class, but their siblings are not among their protection.

Seeing a few people running from the street to join the queue, Wei Qingzhen didn't move.

She had to think of a way, Wei Qingtong couldn't stop her medicine, the cold was worse than a cold, and she would still cough when it was over, and the cough might turn into tuberculosis... Wei Qingtong was only four years old, she couldn't take this risk.

Touching the bracelet on his left hand, Wei Qingzhen gritted his teeth secretly.

There are three doctors in Tongrentang. Except for the old doctor whose surname is Yu, the other one is also of the same family as the Dong family. Everyone calls him Little Doctor. He loves nothing but money!

Wei Qingyu met him a few times when she came to buy medicine, and with the boy's complaints, she also knew some things about him. It is said that the old doctor taught him a lot about this matter, but the other party refused to change after repeated admonitions.

Wei Qingyu had never done anything bribery in his two lifetimes combined, he lingered in the back door of Tongrentang, kicking the bank note he had just ran back to Wei's house in his arms.

Just as he was thinking about what to say when he saw someone later, he was knocked on the back. Wei Qingyu was shocked, and looked back with a slightly pale face.

Doctor Xiao was looking at her with a smile on his face, "Boy, what are you doing at the back door of our pharmacy? Could it be that you want to do something wrong."

"No, no," Wei Qingzhen waved his hands quickly, and said with a shy smile, "Doctor Xiao, I wanted to find you, but I didn't know if you were there, so I waited here."

"Looking for me?" Doctor Xiao looked Wei Qingyu up and down. He looked familiar, and he might be a patient, so he asked with his hands behind his back, "Why are you looking for me?"

Wei Qingyu looked around, and asked in a low voice like a thief: "Doctor Xiao, can you sell me some medicine privately?"

Doctor Yu squinted at him, "You? You learned to speculate at a very young age, hurry home and learn from your adults what is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith." He pushed her head away. To the side, unsteadily about to enter the door.

Does he know what benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust are?
Wei Qingyu pulled him back, "Doctor Xiao, I didn't buy the medicine to resell, but for my brother. You don't remember me. I accidentally spilled tea on you last time."
