In the evening of that day, Wei Changying invited Duanmu Xinmiao to join him in the back room for dinner.
The first thing I did was to invite Gu Rouzhang, who is also in Xilang, but Gu Rouzhang was afraid that if she saw him every day, she would have to go back to the imperial capital, so she refused to meet him. But Gu Rouzhang is afraid of seeing her every day, and will send her back to the imperial capital if she thinks of it, so she refuses to meet her.
So these days, they only use it with Duanmu Xinmiao - occasionally Duanmu Xinmiao is busy, so she will send someone over in advance to explain, and Wei Changying will send someone to deliver the food to the yard, so as not to delay her time. Sometimes, when Wei Changying is busy, she will send someone over in advance to explain that she is busy, and they will send the food to the courtyard so as not to delay her time.
These days, Duanmu Xinmiao was very relaxed, and Wei Changying wasn't very busy either, so they used it together every day. Today, however, Duanmu Xinmiao arrived even earlier, and when Wei Changying entered the dining room, he saw her in a brocade dress and embroidered clothes, with a tall maid, all in the air of a lady of the world, and in her hand, she was holding a civet cat that looked like it hadn't been born for a long time, and she pinched and pinched it with interest, making it purr.
Wei Changying laughed when he saw it and asked, "Yo, where did this cat come from?"
"This day to a far away from the old lady clinic, it is said that this old lady love cats very much, out of the way to seek medical treatment also do not forget to send people to bring her cat." Duanmu Xinmiao said, "This cat is her gift."
"Is it really a gift?" Wei Changying guessed her temperament and said with a wry smile, "It's because you see that she likes cats so much that you have to ask for the things she likes, right?"
Duanmu Xinmiao didn't get angry and said, "This time sister-in-law, you really guessed wrong, it's me who saw that the old lady's cat was cute, and looked at it a few more times. The old lady said that the cat gave birth to a few kittens on the way, and was determined to send me a few, so I picked this one."
Wei Chang Ying cried and laughed, "This old lady can really ...... go out of town and have to bring the cat with her, not to mention that it's actually a pregnant cat, not afraid of something happening on the road?"
"Maybe she liked the cat so much that she thought it would die before she did." Duanmu Xinmiao smiled and raised the kitten in her hand to show Wei Changying more closely, "Does it look good? The old lady said that this one is of the best quality, but I don't know anything about that, I just think it looks better than its siblings. It's not that I, as a sister-in-law, don't love my sister-in-law and don't want one for you. But I see sister-in-law you nowadays busy tight, want to get you also a if you are in the way face have to accept to keep well, in fact, but for you to add a thing ...... on the surface to thank me, the heart of the iron must secretly scolded me! In order not to be scolded, I ah, not more this thing."
Wei Changying nodded at her and said, "These are all excuses! Don't try to hide it from me! It must be that the old lady loves cats so much that she would give you one even if you were the famous Little Divine Doctor of Xiliang City. You refuse to let me know that your face is only worth a cat, so you deliberately said that."
Duanmu Xinmiao was surprised, "So you can tell even by your sister-in-law? How clever!"
The two of them joked and laughed a bit, then ordered someone to bring the rice. Before the meal was served, Wei Changying told Duanmu Xinmiao that Song Zhaoshui and Su Yuimai had been betrothed.
Duanmu Xinmiao then laughed: "Sister-in-law's cousin married sister-in-law's cousin, what should we call her in the future? Is it called cousin cousin husband, or cousin cousin sister?"
"What's so difficult about that, each according to their own call." Wei Chang Ying smiled and said, "For Cousin Su, your third brother and I, aren't we still cousins marrying cousins?"
"So there's a precedent." Duanmu Xinmiao laughed, "I thought it could be difficult for sister-in-law for a while!"
Wei Changying probed over to hit her and snapped, "Bad thing! Is this a different way of scolding me for being stupid?"
Duanmu Xinmiao laughed, "That's all I'm saying, sister-in-law you're overthinking yourself."
At this time the meal also opened up, the two people then no longer play, Duanmu Xinmiao handed the cat to the subordinate, together with the coon's hand to use the meal.
After the meal, the maid came in to rinse her mouth with tea, and made some good tea for the two of them to consume.
Wei Changying sipped his tea and put it back on the case, then asked Duanmu Xinmiao this side of the situation of medical practice: "Now you are even with the Yamen on the same as the people who work, ten days to get a break. This is a busy day and night, said I am busy, I can sometimes push things to Aunt Huang and Aunt He, their own hide a lazy, you are even a hit the hands of no ......."
Duanmu Xinmiao said, "There are people who can do the work, you gave me Zhu Ran and Zhu Shi are very smart. Nowadays, they have been able to recognize several medicinal herbs."
"...... You fancy them?" Wei Changying asked after a moment of silence.
Duanmu Xinmiao smiled and said, "Yes, I originally did not have a beloved servant girl, with them now while the hand, sister-in-law, if you love me, why not give it to me?"
"I'll give it to you." Wei Changying had heard that Duanmu Xinmiao often gave Zhu Ran and Zhu Shi a few pointers in her spare time, and knew that these two maids would not be able to keep them, so it was no surprise to hear Duanmu Xinmiao ask for them now.
She knew that since Duanmu Xinmiao said it, even if she refused here, back to Duanmu Xinmiao back to the imperial capital, ran to her rightful father and mother in front of a begging, Mrs. Su will certainly have to discuss with herself....... mother-in-law opened the mouth, said that is to discuss, is it for the sake of the two little girls still have to turn down? The first thing I want to do is to give her a chance to look good, but I can't give her a chance for nothing. Wei Changying said, "There are too many people who are looking for medical treatment, so I don't think the two of them will be able to handle it. I would like to send Zhu Yin and Zhu Xuan to help you, how about that?"
In order to prevent Duanmu Xinmiao from asking for all four of them, Wei Changying emphasized, "You have to leave me two!"
Duanmu Xinmiao laughed, "Sister-in-law you have an Auntie Huang by your side, what do you need to cultivate so many people for?"
"I'll always have children again, won't I? Cultivating two little ones will always be useful." Wei Chang Ying has been sharpened down these days has quite a city, unlike on the way here, was flirting with a sentence to take advantage of this time to visit Shen Zang Feng, the two of them to have a few more children on the red face of the scene, as if nothing had happened, said.
Duanmu Xinmiao said, "Aunt Huang can also teach, she can teach people better than I can."
"Auntie Huang has no time to teach now. She's got me working all the time! Besides, you don't need to learn the secrets of your master, just know a little bit about medicine. As you can see, it's so cold here in Western Liang that if you're not careful, you'll catch a cold and get windy, so of course it's not a big deal when you're here, but when you're back in the capital, you can't go to Auntie Huang for everything." Wei Chang Ying said, "You have asked me to take two people who have been serving me since they were young and have been trained by Aunt He around me since they were young - there is another one who is Aunt He's first niece! I promised her a good future! Is it too much to ask for two more?"
Duanmu Xinmiao nodded with satisfaction, "Listening to sister-in-law you say this, I feel much better in my heart....... Who is Aunt He's niece? It's not just a good future, or else I'll just serve them both in the future, I don't dare to say anything else, but it's still possible to find a decent person for each of them."
"It's Zhu Shi." Wei Chang Ying said, "Zhu Ran's father was a steward under my mother's mother's hand, and he always treated me with respect, and I viewed both of them together."
Duanmu Xinmiao laughed: "Are you really afraid that I will treat them badly? Just based on those tips they got when they served me, I just don't accompany the dowry, and in the future, if I want to promise a dignified steward, I will only be snatched up."
Wei Changying said, "Then you have to teach them more, so that they will be more in demand, so that I won't have a hard time explaining to Aunt He ...... that she is my nurse."
After agreeing on this, Wei Changying returned to the topic and said, "So you've made great progress in your medical skills over the past many days?"
"Sister-in-law is asking about my master's relatives?" Duanmu Xinmiao heard the meaning of her words, her complexion darkened, and she sighed, "There is no relevant news these days, I thought that I was afraid that it was not very good ......"
When the Ji family full of exile, even if the abolition of the Qian privately entrusted the Shen family to take care of, but the Shen family is not willing to get too involved in the harem fight, is to take care of very limited - a hundred years of the Ji family, although the status can not be compared to the scholarly family, but the life of the privileged is not worse than some ordinary families, especially Ji Ying before serving as a court judge, but also to have not yet gone to the position when the Empress Qian's appreciation, his room is rich and expensive, everyone is used to enjoying.
The pampered family was dispatched for thousands of miles, even if everyone knows a bit of medicine, but in exile, who is willing to give them medicinal materials and medical equipment to use? Tang Tang medical family dependents, a hundred years in the family doctor no break, famous doctors, after the exile, even one after another died in a small water and soil disorders.
Although the only remaining person escaped capture at the time, afterward, who knows where his remains are in the vast expanse of heaven and earth?
In fact, Ji to go to the disease of fame for decades, he longed to find loved ones wish the world is also greatly heard, Song old lady also personally face entrusted Xiliang Shen looking for ...... so there is no news, eight out of ten. Nine, that person want to also not in.
It had been several months since Duanmu Xinmiao had personally sat in Xiliang City to treat the eight parties. The name of her little miracle doctor has also spread far and wide - the identity of Ji Zhaodi's only heir is known far and wide. If Ji Zhaosi's relative was still alive, he should have shown up to recognize her.
There had been no movement, and there really wasn't much chance that the man was alive.
So Duanmu Xinmiao mentioned this problem also revealed a difficult color: "Two days ago, the master also had a letter to ask can have news, I do not know how to reply to it?"
Wei Changying said, "I just suddenly remembered something... perhaps there is a way to try?"
Duanmu Xinmiao hurriedly probed and asked, "What method?"
"Now that you're living in Ming Pei Tang, people who come here to seek treatment have to say hello to me before they can come in and ask you to treat them." Wei Changying reminded, "That's why all the people you've treated these days are rich and famous! Have you ever thought about it? Doctor Ji's relative is a criminal here, even if he has escaped, it would be good for him to hide his name and avoid the government, how can he be so rich that he can compete with these people for the chance to see you? Not face to see you, you think he dares to easily reveal his identity? In the end, he is still the body of the sinner ah!"
A word woke up the dreamer, Duanmu Xinmiao suddenly realized and clapped her hands, "Extremely possible!"
She stood up excitedly and said, "I'll move out of Ming Pei Hall!"
"Wait!" Wei Changying was busy pulling her back and complained, "What's the point of moving out of Ming Pei Tang? Even if you live in a shed outside the city, the people lining up outside the shed will all be members of the scholarly class! How can they let the commoners crowd forward before they've finished watching?"
Duanmu Xinmiao was furious and slapped the table, "Whoever dares to stop me from finding someone for my master, I'll poison his whole family!"
"...... "Wei Changying gave her a chestnut on her forehead and spat, "Keep your voice down! When we find Dr. Ji's relatives, we'll ask His Majesty to pardon him. It's nothing, and His Majesty won't let us down for such a trivial matter. But now we haven't found him yet! You're yelling like this, if people find out about it, there might be trouble!"
Then he suggested, "Just say that you want to save up your medical ethics, and from now on, half the days will be for the scholars, and half the days, they will be exclusively for the commoner clans and the untouchables!"
Duanmu Xinmiao froze, said: "How the pariah also want to ......" She a valve read a thousand gold, since childhood embroidery pile grew up, even the common people have not seen a few, not to mention the pariah of the people---. Now but for such a person diagnosis and treatment, Duanmu Xinmiao can not help but a little at a loss.
"Who knows what happened to Dr. Ji's relatives?" Wei Changying said in a serious tone, "Maybe that one was forced to make ends meet and ended up in a lowly family? Even Divine Doctor Ji, who is famous throughout the world, is now just a good family."
Duanmu Xinmiao thought about this reasoning and said, "Just as sister-in-law said." She added, "It's not good to treat these people at Ming Pei Tang, does Sister Wei have a suggestion for a place?"
"The teahouses and restaurants in Xiliang City are all produced by the Shen family, so you can pick any one of them." Wei Changying said unconcernedly, "Tomorrow I'll arrange for a carriage to take you out for a spin around the city, and I'll have someone clean up the place after you've taken a good look at it, so it won't be open for a while."
Duanmu Xinmiao nodded and said, "Good, that's it....... I won't pay the silver money for the restaurants or tea houses that don't open. When the time comes, to the outside world, I'll say that it's my sister-in-law's compassion for those who aren't members of the scholarly family and don't have the money or qualifications to seek medical treatment, so she persuaded me to give them a charity visit."
Wei Changying laughed, "There's only one that won't open, so how much will it cost to close it down for a year? If you say that, I'll be the one to take advantage of it."
"Then sister-in-law simply gave me the consultation fee on their behalf?" Duanmu Xinmiao exclaimed.
"......" Wei Changying lightly knocked her forehead and snapped, "You're a good young lady, but after only a few days of medical treatment, how can you get into the eye of money?"
This thing is so agreed - two people to drink tea, look at the time is not early, Duanmu Xinmiao on the farewell back to their own yard to go. Wei Changying ordered his subordinates to clean up the tea utensils and so on, and was about to go back to the back of the house....... There was a sound of footsteps on the corridor, but Duanmu Xinmiao came back, furious, pointing at Wei Changying and said, "What a bad sister-in-law! What do you mean, I have to save my medical ethics? What do you mean, I'm saving my medical ethics? When your guard was seriously injured like that, I didn't even bother to pay the consultation fee, I just saved him!"
Wei Changying deliberately teased her earlier, seeing that she hadn't responded, and thought that she hadn't paid attention to listen, but she didn't expect to respond until now, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud.......
