When Mrs. Lin heard that she could be cured, she couldn't help but feel happy. However, Xiao Ming's last words sent her into the abyss of battles, where the cold chilled her bones. When she saw Xiao Ming was about to leave, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Ming and said, "Doctor, please." , save her, I am willing to give you any amount of money, I kneel down for you." After saying that, I really knelt on the ground.
Su Waner, who was on the bed, saw her mother kneeling on the ground for her. She was so anxious that she tried to get up and called out "Mother" as weakly as a mosquito or an ant.
"Madam, there's no need for this, Xiao Ming can't bear it." Xiao Ming helped Lin up on the ground and said, "Although my medicine can cure diseases, it can't save a person who wants to die. She is like this. She hasn’t eaten for days, and she will return to the west in less than two days. Life is a woman’s most precious asset. She wants to die, so she’d better not waste my good medicine.”
Xiao Ming's words made Lin unable to refute. What Xiao Ming said was true. My daughter wanted to die and had not eaten or drank for three days. She was so anxious that she cried loudly.
"Mom, I'm hungry and need to eat." Su Waner looked at her mother's sad look. The silky black hair that used to be turned gray because she had made her mother worry and work hard, and her hair turned gray overnight.
Since she fell ill, her father was furious, her mother was sad, and Aunt Wu was gloating about her misfortune. She was heartbroken and wanted to die, causing her mother to be insulted and reprimanded by her relatives. Aunt Wu made things difficult for her. She was really unfilial. She silently recited what Xiao Ming said in her heart. , Su Wan'er's eyes gradually became firm, she wanted to live well for her mother and brother.
She wrote a prescription for Su Wan'er and took out five porcelain bottles with space water that she had filled in advance. She asked her to drink one bottle every day. This way, combined with Chinese medicine, she could get better faster.
"Take this prescription for five days. I will come back for a follow-up consultation after five days to re-prescribe the prescription." Xiao Ming gave the written prescription to Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin took the prescription and solemnly thanked her. She then took the brocade box from the hand of the maid next to her and gave it to Xiao Ming with her own hands as a gift in gratitude, and repeatedly asked Xiao Ming to keep it secret.
It was a matter of reputation, so Xiao Ming finally agreed. In her mind, this was an illness, but in this ancient world where chastity was paramount, no one would think it was an illness. Su Waner was also lucky to have a mother like Lin who worked hard to protect her. It is rare in the world to love a daughter like this.
~~
On the carriage ride back, Xiao Ming thought about Su Waner and truly envied her for having a mother who loved her dearly.
Thinking of herself, she had not received the care of her mother in her two lives. In her previous life, she had both parents, but her parents were busy with their respective careers. Her parents gave birth to her, as if they had completed a major task, and they no longer bothered to celebrate the New Year or the holidays. No one can be seen. If you want to meet, you have to make an appointment in advance.
In her childhood, she was only accompanied by her grandfather, who is a leader in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Other children have their parents go to the playground with them on Children's Day, travel with them during holidays, and their parents give you birthday gifts and cut birthday cakes together on your birthday, but she Woolen cloth? She could only read medical books alone. Every time her grandfather went to attend a seminar, she would read medical books outside the door. When her grandfather saw patients and prescribed prescriptions, she could only sit aside and read medical books. It can be said that her childhood was spent here. In those torn medical books, she almost forgot what her parents looked like.
With the support of her grandfather, she was admitted to one of the best medical universities in China. Her grandfather often said that Chinese medicine consolidates the foundation and Western medicine cures diseases. Only by combining Chinese and Western medicine can medical skills be promoted.
After her grandfather passed away, she applied to study abroad and never returned to her lonely home.
After returning to China, she inherited her grandfather's small clinic. She regularly attended clinics, went to help poor mountainous areas, gave lectures abroad, and gave herself several vacations a year to travel and relax. During those years, she visited tourist spots at home and abroad to appreciate the majestic rivers and mountains of the motherland. Free and easy, sometimes I cross mountains and climb mountains and water just to pick a herb.
Because of the shadow brought upon her by her parents, she did not want to start a family or give her children such a family and parents, so she put all her passion into medical skills.
Xiao Ming closed her eyes and stopped thinking. The past is like smoke, gone with the wind. She now has a new life, with two caring families and her loving family. Sometimes she even feels that this is herself, and her previous life is just a growing dream of hers.
Xiao Ming looked at Min Fangqi on the side, thinking that he would ask Xiao Ming what her condition was, but Min Fangqi kept her eyes closed and kept silent. She couldn't help but secretly admire his professionalism. He was still too young, so he thought like a villain. The belly of a gentleman.
It was already evening when he returned to Ping'an Town. Min Fangqi looked at the sky and saw that it was going to be night soon. He ordered Uncle Lin to send Xiao Ming home safely. He got off the carriage and planned to walk back. He never thought about what happened today. A word.
He has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has lived in a deep palace for a long time to practice medicine. He has seen a lot of people in the harem without seeing the bloody secrets, and has long since developed the ability to observe words and actions, and talk less and do more. Today he was not allowed to check his pulse, and he was given generous gifts on the way back, which meant that the other party had something to hide. It was better to do less than to do more, and it was better not to know than to know.
Min Fangqi walked home slowly with his hands behind his back, feeling happy. Seeing Xiao Ming's demeanor when he came out, the county magistrate's wife solemnly thanked her and sent them out in person, which showed that Xiao Ming could be cured in all likelihood. , otherwise he would have been beaten out with a big stick.
Xiao Ming was the only one left in the car. Xiao Ming opened the brocade box given by the county magistrate's wife. There were many jewelry displayed in it. There was a two hundred taels of silver note underneath. The jewelry was a little messy. She thought it was because she was Lin's daughter. The body was added to the body later, but such a heavy consultation fee also meant hush money.
Xiao Ming looked at it randomly and saw that they should be a set of the same color. The jade color was crystal clear and worth a lot of money. Mrs. Lin also spent a lot of money on her daughter.
He didn't refuse anyone who came, and he just happened to have a lot of money at home, so he threw the box into the space casually.
When we got home, it was completely dark. Xiao Han and Xiao Yu were already waiting by the bridge. Uncle Lin declined Xiao Han's invitation to stay for dinner and drove the carriage back to town.
The workers have dispersed long ago, the noisy atmosphere of the day has long gone, and the east of the bridge has returned to peace.
"Brother, here are two hundred taels of silver notes. For today's diagnosis fee, I will use it to buy materials first." Xiao Ming handed the silver note he got today to Xiao Han.
"So much, I haven't used it up here yet." Xiao Han was surprised. His sister made two hundred taels of silver during a trip. He felt that he was getting further and further away from his sister. He once promised to his eldest brother and sister-in-law. I took good care of my sister and Yu'er, but now my sister is completely taking care of them.
The dinner was left over from lunch alone, so Wang served a separate portion for them to eat at night. If there was any leftover food, Xiao Han asked those with elderly and children at home to take it home in batches.
Everyone was grateful to Xiao Han. You should know that it was a vegetarian dish without meat, and the soup was full of oil and water and tasted good.
Xiao Han heated up the food and served it on the table. He also prepared a separate bowl of bone-in meat for Maomao and placed it on the floor. The family started having dinner. These days, the siblings have been busy repairing the house. I was so tired that I wanted to rest early.
