Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 205 The Sick Prince Moves into the Hou Mansion (1)
"The king of Hunan who opened the dynasty and the history of corrupt officials in this dynasty have done a good job!"

"If Master Hou hadn't found out that Xiangjiang Temple was in collusion with the King of Hunan, the town would have collected money from my family to donate incense money to Xiangjiang Temple this year."

This was beyond the expectations of Li Bing, Hao Ye, and He Jingyan.

The annual gift from the common people is not an expensive gift, but it is rare to have this kind of heart.

Both the Hou's Mansion and the Dudu's Mansion ordered the slaves to record the names and addresses of the people who gave New Year's gifts, and sent people to buy snacks and other food to send over, earning a good reputation as being close to the people.

On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the eunuch who had traveled a long distance from the Chang'an Imperial Palace came to the Hou Mansion to read out the imperial decree. He Dong canonized Li Yunqing as the sixth-rank Shangzhaowu Captain, and praised He Jingyan for helping Li Bing kill corrupt officials and kill Hunan Wang Yougong.

After the eunuch came out of the Hou's Mansion, he went to the Dudu's Mansion, and passed on He Dong's oral order, praising Hao Ye for his hard work after he took up the post of Dudu.

Hao Ye knelt down to thank him, and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty did not hold the old minister accountable for not discovering that Xiangjiang Temple colluded with the Hunan King's army during his tenure."

The eunuch did not hide anything, and said in a low voice: "Teacher Li spoke for you in the letter to His Majesty. Buddhism is very powerful, and Xiangjiang Temple is very secretive. It is normal for you not to know."

Hao Ye felt a little grateful to Li Bing.

The eunuch finally went to Qu Kuaishou's house to read out the imperial decree. He Dong personally conferred Qu Kuaishou as the deputy lieutenant of Zhenwei from the sixth rank, and gave Deng's pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets.

Everyone in the Qu family couldn't help being overjoyed. When the eunuch left, Qu Duo was so excited that he almost jumped up like a child, and said loudly, "Grandpa, you have been promoted four ranks in a row, and you are already a sixth-rank military officer."

Qu Jiujiu stared at the bright yellow imperial decree held by Qu Kuai in both hands, ecstatically, and shouted: "Father, your majesty personally canonized your official position, which is a hundred times more honorable than last time when you only issued a letter of appointment for an official position."

Qu Kuaishou was immersed in joy, the voice of the eunuch chanting the imperial decree was extremely pleasant to him, and he had already engraved it in his heart, and he would never forget it in this life.

With trembling hands, Deng opened the brocade box containing the dragon and phoenix gold bracelet, tears of joy welling up in his eyes, and said in a broken voice, "This is the jewelry His Majesty bestowed on me."

Little Deng looked enviously at the red gold bracelet carved with dragon and phoenix patterns in the brocade box, and exclaimed: "Grandma, you are so blessed."

Deng was so happy that he couldn't find Bei for a while, he smiled and said, "I will leave this red gold bracelet to you later."

Little Deng's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he was overjoyed.

"Our Qu family's ancestral grave is really filled with white smoke. In just a few days, I became a rank-[-] military officer. I owe it to my sister and brother-in-law to be here today." Qu Kuaishou hurriedly sent his servants to Li's house to announce the good news.

After the servant returned, he first told about the happy event of Li Yunqing's canonization, and then said: "The old master and old lady of the Hou's mansion will come to our mansion tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to our mansion, saying that there is a big happy event to say in person."

At the same time, lights and festoons were decorated inside and outside the mansion, and a dark blue carriage with two horses arrived in front of the main entrance of the Li family who was about to eat.

The carriage looked very ordinary from the outside, as if it was temporarily rented from the market, the wheels were covered with mud, and the carriage was driven by two ordinary-looking middle-aged men wearing fur hats and black robes with hostility.

The gatekeeper saw the two men and said happily, "It's a coincidence that the two military masters came back just in time for the New Year's Eve dinner in the mansion."

The two men were exactly Li Bei and Lu Daoming who were sent out by Li Bing a few days ago.

"The ones sitting in the car are Miss's master, master's wife, and elder brother." Li Bei said loudly, "Open all the front doors."

The door slave hastened to do as he said.

Li Bei drove the carriage directly to the front of Yuejing Courtyard and stopped, and got out of the carriage with Lu Daoming first, one ran in to report, the other opened the curtain of the carriage, and invited the people inside to come down.

The twins who were playing in Yuejing Courtyard in the afternoon ran out of the hall excitedly, followed by Li Bing, Qu Shi, Li Laoshi and his wife, Li Yunqing, and Li Qubing with a happy brow.

Standing beside the carriage were two men and a woman. The person with gray hair and the appearance of an exiled immortal wearing a green robe was the chief pharmacist Yuan Hongzi of Baiyun Temple.

Wearing a rusty red long dress with a silver hair and a delicate face showing tiredness, the woman is Ding Suran, the master doctor of today's empress.

Standing between the two of them was the boy with white hair and ordinary appearance. The man in the blue robe seemed to be one with heaven and earth. The man in the blue robe was Chi Lingzi, the master of medicine that Li Jingjing met for the first time.

Both Ding Suran and Chi Lingzi are big figures in the medical field who have been famous all over the world since the beginning of the dynasty.

Ding Suran was born in a famous family since she was a child, and she was a concubine daughter. Because of her excellent medical skills, she made a good marriage. Not long after they got married, her father-in-law committed a felony, which led to the confiscation of the whole family, and the exile of everyone in the southern barbarians.

She was rescued by her family, and she remarried within a year. Her second husband was a general who fought against the Huns in the north, and the news came back that she died in battle.

She had been a widow for her second husband for nine years, thinking that this would be the end of her life.

Unexpectedly, her patient reported that her second husband did not die in battle at all, but lost the battle after delaying the battle. The family was afraid that he would be implicated by the imperial court and implicate the whole family, so they asked him to hide his name and hide his name. He married another wife.

All the people in the whole house only kept it from her, watching her as a widow, and the elders didn't even open their mouths to let her go.

She was so annoyed that she wanted to sue her in-law's family with a pleading paper, but in the end she was kind-hearted and didn't do so, and let her in-law's family go.

Unexpectedly, her husband's family was afraid that she would reveal the matter, so they sent a servant to strangle her to death in her sleep. She used a silver needle to pierce the servant's acupuncture point, knocking the servant unconscious, and then bribed the servant to escape.

As soon as she returned to her natal family, people from her husband's family chased after her and accused her of having an affair with a slave.

She was furious and went to the government to sue her husband's family.

Her husband's family collapsed because of this incident, and her second husband was beheaded by the court.But her reputation was completely ruined and she was expelled from her natal family.

She entered a Taoist temple when she was most frustrated in her life, and met Chi Lingzi, the god of medicine.

Chi Lingzi was born in a poor farming family when he was young. He became famous in pharmaceuticals at a young age, and he still returned to his hometown to marry his original wife appointed by his parents.

At that time, Chi Lingzi was already 50 years old, his first wife passed away 12 years ago, and his daughter had already married out.

Following him were two great physicians and five physicians, and Ding Suran became the sixth physician.

Chi Lingzi has a gentle personality, and he often dismisses Ding Suran. Over time, he develops feelings and becomes a Taoist couple.

Ding Suran gave birth to a son for Chi Lingzi. Unfortunately, his son fell off a cliff and died when he was 16 years old while collecting herbs.

The two lost a child in old age, and were extremely sad. They comforted each other for a few years, and their minds were completely open. It is the same if they have no children and have apprentices.

Now the two have been married for nearly 80 years and have gone through many ups and downs. Although they are not the original couple, they have a very good relationship and are closer than relatives.

"Disciple has seen my mentor!" Li Jingjing ran to plop and knelt in front of Chi Lingzi, and was about to kowtow, when the old man helped him up with both hands, and said with kind eyes: "I am incompetent as a master. I haven't taught you for a day. Yaoshu, get up quickly."
