Chapter 40: Medical Examination
Lord Zhao went to the front office in a hurry, and as soon as he came in, he glanced at the crowd at the door, and his eyes were bright and scary, as if he was looking for a piece of gold.
The reason why Lord Zhao is so excited is because the birth rate of girls is included in the annual evaluation of the magistrates of the Great Song Dynasty, and the proportion is not small. That is to say, the more women in the city, the better his evaluation results will be, maybe this year because there is one more woman in Songjiang City, his evaluation will change from middle to excellent!
Of course, Lord Zhao was excited, the birth rate of women in Songjiang City had not passed for several years, and he was severely criticized by Shangfeng for this, causing him to send a lot of silver out to appease Shangfeng's anger.
However, after all, Lord Zhao is a parent official, and he can't lose too much in front of the people, although he is curious and wants to call the woman who came for a physical examination to come out immediately, but he also has to hold the official authority.
"Who is here for the check-up?" Lord Zhao asked while instructing a servant to go to the back office to invite his wife.
There was a group of people in the front hall of the ya, and the one standing on the left was a black fat old woman, followed by a young and a middle-aged man, Lord Zhao's eyes wandered around the two men, and he felt that such a resolute and ordinary person could not be a woman. He turned his gaze to the right again.
Standing on the right is Chen Zhutou and his party in the yamen, and in front of Chen Zhutou is the eldest young master of the Zhen family with a tall and outstanding posture.
Zhen Dashao has a long figure, a handsome and white face, although he doesn't look feminine at all, but compared with the others here, if he insists on choosing a woman dressed as a man, then it is most likely that he is not him!
Could it be that the eldest young man of the Zhen family turned out to be a woman?
So Lord Zhao's beard shook slightly unnaturally, and his mind unconsciously began to fantasize about Zhen Dashao's appearance in women's clothes.
Yo~ that white-faced tender skin. If you put on makeup, well~ it looks okay. Further down, yo ~ that big hand and wide shoulders...... And then a horse Pingchuan...... Long-haired long legs...... Big feet with embroidered shoes...... Monsters......
Lord Zhao was startled by his own brain hole, and almost fainted in front of his eyes.
The master stood beside Lord Zhao and called several times, and Lord Zhao came back to his senses.
"My lord, what's wrong with you, you almost fell on the table just now, but where is your body unwell? I'm still waiting for a medical check-up! ”
Lord Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay." Eat less at noon. Blood sugar is a bit low. ”
The corners of the master's mouth twitched, and he remembered that at lunch, Lord Zhao ate two large bowls of rice and a bowl of shredded sweet potatoes with a big belly. A bowl of braised pork. Plus a few vegetables. He could only nod against his will, "My lord, I have a lot of opportunities, and this Songjiang City still depends on you." Don't let your body go bad, eat more in the future. ”
Frightened by the brain supplement just now, Lord Zhao couldn't bear to look at the group of people below, and only waved his hand to let the person who had examined the body come out.
Although Zhou Niang and his entourage were not angry in front of Lord Zhao, they did not dare to be presumptuous, so they could only watch.
Lou Zheng, who had been protected by Zhen Hanxiao, walked out from behind him at this time.
Looking at Lord Zhao's unreliable appearance, the master could only go on his own, he walked to Lou Zheng's side and made a gesture of invitation to her, and now he can't be sure whether the kid in front of him is a man or a woman, the master simply didn't even add the title, "Please here, Mrs. is already waiting in the back." ”
Zhen Hanxiao was a little uneasy, and took two steps forward, but was stopped by the officials, Lou Zheng turned around and gave him a reassuring look, and followed the master to the room behind the council hall.
There was only a tall and thin woman in her thirties, with slender eyes, but she spoke very kindly. Mrs. Zhao has two sons, no daughter, and has always wanted a daughter, Lou Zheng is so old and looks good, how can Mrs. Zhao hate it when she sees it.
The physical examination is very simple, just take off your shirt and show it to Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao can make a testimony.
Lou Zheng wrapped the chest cloth, which was a little more cumbersome, and Mrs. Zhao gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you can just treat me as a generation with your mother, you can call me Aunt Zhao." ”
Mrs. Zhao was afraid that Lou Zheng would be cold when she took off her clothes, and specially instructed the disabled child to put two pots of charcoal in the room, her warm hand helped Lou Zheng take off the rough cotton clothes outside, and carefully untied her chest wrap, this villain's chest was bulging, and at first glance it was a girl, in fact, there was no need to remove the chest wrap for a physical examination.
But Mrs. Zhao is a strict person, she still carefully helped Lou Zheng remove the chest cloth, Lou Zheng was a little shy, Mrs. Zhao glanced at it, and immediately put on her middle coat.
Then the chest cloth was not returned to her, and she said distressedly: "The girl's family doesn't know how to cherish herself, this cloth will not be wrapped in the future, the chest is strangled like that, I will ask someone to bring some medicine and take it back to wipe it." ”
Mrs. Zhao left Lou Zheng to dress behind the screen in the room, she went out and handed her a small bag in her hand, "Take these back, I haven't used them, don't dislike them." ”
In the Great Song Dynasty, women were born with the advantage of being cared for, and it was actually normal for Mrs. Zhao to see Lou Zheng's actions. Besides, after listening to the master chewing a few more words on the root of his tongue, saying that Lou Zheng was alone in Songjiang City, Mrs. Zhao was even more distressed when she thought that she was a woman.
Lou Zheng opened the small bag and saw that it contained a small porcelain bottle of ointment, as well as a few pieces of high-quality colorful clothes, and her face couldn't help but redden.
thanked Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao personally led her out.
On the front side, when Mrs. Zhao went out, she had already sent someone to inform Lord Zhao, and Lord Zhao also understood that he had made trouble just now, and when he heard the news, his face bloomed with a smile, and he hurriedly called the little official who managed the household registration to prepare to register the household registration for Lou Zheng.
Lou Zheng was sent out by Mrs. Zhao, and everyone's eyes fell on her, no matter how thick-skinned Rao is, it will be uncomfortable to be looked at by so many people like this, not to mention that she is just an ordinary girl.
Zhen Hanxiao's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately blocked Lou Zheng behind her.
Lord Zhao did this very quickly and scary, as if he was afraid that Lou Zheng would disappear from in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, good, I didn't expect Miss Lou to be only sixteen years old, which is a good age to talk about marriage!"
After recording the household registration, Lord Zhao's eyes narrowed, as if he was making some idea.
But I secretly regretted it in my heart for a moment, if Lou Zheng was one year younger, before she was in time, and there was no elder in the family, the official media would be able to manipulate her marriage, but it was a pity that she was already over.
And she is a woman, and she is protected by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.
The master was afraid that Lord Zhao would go astray again, so he reminded in a low voice, "My lord, there is still something to deal with in front of me!" ”
Only then did Lord Zhao notice the few people still standing in front of him. (To be continued......)
