His boss is really wise and powerful, with unparalleled martial arts skills. He can endure such pain without saying a word. Shunzi was immediately admired by his boss, like a surging river.
As everyone knows, Zhou Chongyang is in a daze like him at this time, watching the needle and thread in Min Fangqi's hand shuttle through his skin and flesh, the blood dyeing the pure white cotton thread crimson, and looking at it makes him feel cold all over, this should be It was very painful, but unfortunately there was no pain as he expected. There was no pain at all, as if the arm was not his.
"Dr. Min, you..." Zhou Chongyang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He opened his mouth and looked at Min Fangqi who was administering the acupuncture.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. This is a newly developed anesthetic by our Guangji Hall. It will numb your nerves and relieve mild pain within a certain period of time. You will only feel pain after the effect of the drug has passed." Min Fangqi is proud of the effect of the anesthetic. The needle he held in his hand was even more cautious. He had tried suturing on pork legs countless times and had perfected this technique, but this was the first time he had used needles on a living person.
It was a lie that he wasn't nervous. Sanzhu, the boy beside him, quickly wiped off the big beads of sweat on his forehead for the master.
Min Fangqi was a man who had gone through countless ups and downs. The more nervous he became, the calmer his hands became and his movements were meticulous. Finally, Zhou Chongyang's wound was stitched up with needles, completing this small operation perfectly.
Because Min Fangqi was highly concentrated, he relaxed after the operation. Instead, he was a little unsteady and felt tired. After sitting down, he prescribed a prescription for replenishing qi and blood for Zhou Chongyang, and told him a few words: "This is a waste of time." Be careful not to eat spicy food, avoid alcohol, eat more light food, and avoid getting raw water on wounds to avoid infection..."
"Thank you two doctors." Zhou Chongyang stood up. Since his right arm was covered with gauze, it was inconvenient to salute, so he could only salute with one hand to express his gratitude. He also reminded the dazed little catcher Shunzi beside him to hand over the diagnosis fee.
"Let Mr. Zhou take some rest. I'm going to say goodbye and come back for a follow-up consultation in five days." Min Fangqi said, saying goodbye.
"I would like to thank you two doctors very much for your trouble."
"You're polite, you should be." Min Fangqi said, leading Xiao Ming and Sanzhu out of the room. Zhou Chongyang sent them all the way out of the room, and then ordered Shunzi to escort them out of the Yamen.
"Zhou Captou stayed behind."
Outside the gate, the young catcher Shunzi respectfully sent Min Fangqi and Xiao Ming out of the yamen, preparing to let the carriage and horses take them back to the town. However, Min Fangqi declined, and Shunzi did not force himself and said goodbye politely.
"Doctor Min walked slowly, Doctor Xiao walked slowly." Shunzi said and sent Min Fangqi and Xiao Ming away. From a distance, I watched a beautiful woman wearing a peach-colored dress approaching. The woman was exquisitely dressed and had a gorgeous appearance, followed by a little maid. She passed by Xiao Ming and his entourage with a gust of fragrance.
Shunzi quickly stepped forward and said, "Good morning, Aunt Zhou. Come and see Brother Zhou."
"It's already early in the morning and it's still early. I came to see my brother Yang. My father said he was injured and asked me to come and have a look." The woman said, looking at Shunzi's fawning image with great displeasure.
"Please come in. Brother Zhou will definitely heal faster when he sees you coming." Shunzi said happily, leading the woman through the door.
"Who are those people just now? Why did they come out of the Yamen." The woman ignored Shunzi's statement. If it weren't for her parents' request, why wouldn't she come? Instead, she was concerned about the little girl who just passed by. She was not old, but her skin was tender. Bai Nen couldn't help but let her take another look.
"Those two just now! They are Dr. Min and Dr. Xiao from Guangji Hall in Ping An Town. They came to treat Brother Zhou." Shunzi said.
"It turned out to be a doctor." The woman said oh and stopped asking.
Zhou Chongyang was very happy to see the visitor and said happily: "Rongmei, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Different from Zhou Chongyang's enthusiastic reaction, Zhou Lianrong's reaction was very cold. She looked at the chair next to her with disgust and did not sit down until the maid Qingsui wiped the chair carefully with a handkerchief before slowly sitting down. Pointing to the food box Qingsui was carrying, she complained: "My parents heard that you were injured, seriously. They were very worried about you and asked me to come and see you. Mom specially stewed ginseng, red dates and chicken soup for you." Sent it, and asked why you haven't been home to see her for so long? "
"It's a small injury, nothing serious," Zhou Chongyang said, waving his hands.
"It's because I'm not filial during the Double Ninth Festival. I asked my adoptive father and stepmother to take care of me. I've been busy these days. When I'm free, I'll go back to visit my two elders."
"I said you are serious. Although you are not my parents' biological son, they treat you better than their own son. You don't help dad with his business but you come here to be a head catcher. Rain comes in the wind. There were knives and arrows in there, and my mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep day and night." Zhou Lianrong looked at the wounds on his arms and complained with her lips flat.
"Our Zhou family started out as a furniture maker, and now we are one of the largest households in Pingcheng. We are worthy of the few taels of silver you get from being the head catcher."
"Brother knows." Zhou Chongyang nodded and did not refute his adopted sister's words. He could not study well since he was a child, so he loved swords and guns. When he became an adult, he left the Zhou family to work on his own, and worked hard all the way to become the chief arrester of Pingcheng Prefecture. head.
When Zhou Lianrong looked at her adopted brother like this, she knew that what she said was going in one ear and out the other. She had been accustomed to living in a well-off and pampered place since she was a child. She was the only daughter in the Zhou family, and her father had earned millions of dollars in wealth. It will all be hers in a hundred years. She naturally looks down on the salary of the chief catcher. A month of hard work is not enough for her to pay for a box of makeup.
After a moment, Zhou Lianrong stood up and said, "Since you're fine, I'll leave first."
"Rongmei is not here for the meeting, is it still early?" Zhou Chongyang said reluctantly, trying his best to persuade her to stay.
"No, you are so dirty here. It has stained all my clothes and skirts." Zhou Lianrong said in disgust, while patting her body with a handkerchief.
"Brother Shun has booked a table at Qionghua Building today and invited me to go there? You also know that although Qionghua Building is newly opened, it is hard to get a seat. I heard that the dishes there are very delicious. I have never been there before. , Brother Shun booked a seat several days in advance, and I have to pay for the delicious taste there. "
Zhou Lianrong said to herself that she didn't notice Zhou Chongyang's disappointed eyes at all. She seemed to think of something again and said: "Oh, by the way, the day after tomorrow is my mother's birthday. There is a family dinner in the evening. My father asked you to go back. By the way." Brother will also go." Zhou Lianrong said that Brother Shun's eyes became softer, with a touch of shyness, which was completely different from the arrogance and indifference when facing Zhou Chongyang.
Looking at the background of Zhou Lianrong's departure, Zhou Chongyang could not come back to his senses for a long time, as if he was reluctant to leave her and felt sad and lost.
"Boss, boss." Shunzi shouted from the side, feeling very unworthy of his boss. Why would a wise and powerful boss like a woman like Zhou Lianrong? She flirted with men on the street and had no sense of shame. .
He secretly checked that man. He was a villager from Liujia Village in Ping'an Town. He had a slippery tone and was good at pleasing people. His boss suffered from his inability to please people.
"When did you come and what happened?" Zhou Chongyang looked at Shunzi standing aside, suppressed his excess emotions, and asked him seriously.
"My lord is calling you."
"I'll go right away." Zhou Chongyang said, walking away.
"Boss, this soup~" Shunzi asked, pointing to the bowl of cold ginseng soup on the table.
"Save it for later and drink it."
