Chapter 20: Commander, Let's Make a Deal (New Book, Collect!) )
"Old man, don't be surprised, I only charge you the cost of twenty medicinal materials."
Doctor Qian looked at Xu Geng with a gentle smile on his face.
"This- it's too expensive, doctor, we- we don't look at it!"
This devil with a beast face and a heart that eats people and does not spit out bones!
Xu Geng looked at Doctor Qian and scolded viciously in his heart.
"Old man, Dr. Qian's consultation fee of twenty yuan is indeed not expensive, it is already very favorable."
The Grand Commander looked at Xu Geng, and he felt that Dr. Qian definitely didn't lie to him. After all, Dr. Qian is the first doctor in Beijing, and the consultation number fee usually starts at 50 yuan.
"Grandpa, my sister's illness matters!"
Yang Jian grabbed the hem of Xu Geng's clothes and reminded softly.
"Good grandson, but grandfather—"
Xu Geng frowned.
However, when he looked at Xu Hezi, who had fallen asleep, his heart softened for a while.
His granddaughter is his lifeline!
"Are you really the Grand Commander?"
Yang Jian loosened Xu Geng's shirt and walked in front of the commander.
"yes, what's the matter, you suspect that I am a fake Grand Commander?"
The Grand Commander looked at the little kid in front of him and smiled.
"No, I want to make a deal with you."
Yang Jian got straight to the point.
"Oh? You want to do business with me? ”
The Grand Commander was also surprised.
"Yes, would you like to?"
Yang Jian looked at the Grand Commander with a firm look in his eyes.
"Tell me, what kind of deal is it?"
The Grand Commander put away his smile.
"I can give you a chance to serve, and you can ask for this opportunity at any time, as long as I can do it, but now you have to borrow me fifty yuan in advance to pay for my sister's medical expenses."
Yang Jian looked at the Great Commander with a resolute expression.
"You—think I'll say yes?"
The Grand Commander wanted to laugh a little.
The little kid in front of him wants to be a white wolf with his empty gloves like this? An opportunity to serve? At all hours?
It's up to him to think of it!
How could a little kid come up with such a trick?
"Listen to me."
Yang Jian knew that the Grand Commander was suspicious of him.
"Okay, you say."
The Grand Commander couldn't help laughing.
"I know you think I'm young now, but I won't refuse this offer if you think I can repay you any time you think I can repay you. Fifty dollars is nothing to you, but if you lend it to me, you will save the life of a beautiful little girl, so won't your fifty dollars mean a lot? And you'll have a chance to get my help in the future. You don't want to try? ”
Yang Jian actually has no way out.
Grandpa Xu Geng definitely can't come up with the money, let alone twenty wen, twenty children don't have it, but, my sister's current illness, twenty wen is only preliminary, and the follow-up will definitely have to be paid, so I offer fifty wen, as for the future return, you can be a cow or a horse.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll try."
Doctor Qian and Xu Geng have been watching from the side, listening to Yang Jian's fantastical request, they all know that the Grand Commander will never agree to the unreasonable request of a little hairy child, fifty Wen, he doesn't want to think about it, he can buy a small house!
What does an eight- or nine-year-old get in return?
However, as soon as the Great Commander's words came out, both Dr. Qian and Xu Geng's jaws almost fell to the ground!
Lose your marbles!
Definitely insane!
A little madman, a big madman!
"Thank you, little brother, for the deal!"
When Yang Jian heard this, he immediately smiled, and as soon as he stretched out his little hand, he rubbed it in front of the great commander.
"Okay, here you go, but you have to talk about it!"
Of course, the Great Commander doesn't matter, fifty Wen is nothing for him, as long as he is willing, the world will be his!
However, he was fascinated by Yang Jian's bet.
He really wanted to see why this little kid in front of him thought he was worthy of these fifty wen? Why did he think he would one day be able to use his help?
However, he didn't throw money into the water for no reason, at least, he had seen this little kid's poetry skills that made him unbearable!
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!"
Yang Jian's small palm was raised, and he was about to swear by high-five with the commander.
"Good!"
The Grand Commander's palm also stretched out, touching Yang Jian's small palm.
"Doctor, give, this is my sister's medical expenses, twenty wen."
Yang Jian got the money from the commander, and gave Doctor Qian twenty wen as soon as possible, and Doctor Qian looked at this little kid with straight eyes.
Is there a more lucrative deal in this world than him?
"Okay, okay—"
Dr. Qian took the money, his eyes still confused.
"Alright, can I leave now that it's okay, little brother?"
Seeing that the matter had been basically settled, the Grand Commander got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait—"
Yang Jian suddenly stopped the Great Commander.
"What's the matter, little brother, is there anything else?"
The Grand Commander looked at this little evil spirit, and suddenly felt that he must have encountered a little devil.
"Of course, you wait, I'll write you a note, you keep it, anytime, if you want my return, you can come to the artist village outside Chang'an City to find me."
Yang Jian was not ambiguous at all, and after speaking, he asked Dr. Qian to bring a pen and paper, and lay down in front of the long table to write an IOU to the commander seriously.
"Here, here you go!"
After writing it, Yang Jian handed him over to the Grand Commander.
"Okay, I'll take it—"
Before the commander finished speaking, he was already stunned by Yang Jian's unique calligraphy in front of him!
Is this still written by a man?
Listening to him compose poems in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, at least he was a talented young man who read poetry books, but he couldn't imagine that he could write so amazingly! It's clear that the children's handwriting that hasn't entered the school is a hundred times better than his writing!
This powerful contrast made the Grand Commander a little unbearable.
"Okay, thank you, little brother!"
Seeing this, Yang Jian happily ran back to her sister's sleeping bed.
"Well, you're welcome—" After the commander finished speaking, he turned to look at Doctor Qian again, "Doctor Qian, please make dinner for this grandfather and grandson, it seems that they haven't had time to eat dinner yet, and they must be very hungry now." ”
"Yes, Grand Commander."
Naturally, Dr. Qian didn't dare to offend the commander, although he opened a clinic and not a restaurant, he still didn't dare to refuse.
"Thank you, Grand Commander!"
Xu Geng watched Dr. Qian fold into the clinic, and then gradually came back to his senses, walked in front of the commander, and said to him.
"Well, you grandparents and grandchildren should stay here, you don't have to go home tonight, stay here with the children, and go home tomorrow when your condition is stable."
After the Grand Commander finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the clinic.
However, when he lifted the thick curtain of the clinic, he found that a man suddenly jumped off his horse and stood in front of him in the wind and snow.
"Zhang Zheng?"
The Grand Commander looked at the person and was a little surprised.
"Third Highness!"
The person who came was indeed Zhang Zheng, who was facing frost and red at the moment.
"How did you get here?"
Forgive the commander for being the third highness of the current Tang Empire, Li Xiang, but Li Xiang was still young at this time, so he was only the official commander of the security of Chang'an City.
But the responsibilities of this position are not small, and the Tang Emperor is not at ease to hand over such a heavy task to others, thinking that back then, the reason why the coup d'état he launched was able to succeed also had a lot to do with the city defense of Chang'an City.
Therefore, this position must be reserved for the person closest to you and the most trusted.
"I just went to the city gate to ask the soldiers patrolling the city, and they said that you had sent a sick child to see a doctor here, so I hurried here to meet you."
Zhang Zheng looked at the Third Highness, and admired him a little more in his heart, he had thought countless times that if the Third Highness in front of him had the opportunity to ascend the throne, he would definitely be another good emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Only by loving the people as sons can we do so.
It's just that His Royal Highness is the third Highness, and the crown prince is not him.
"Isn't it too early for the appointed time?"
Li Xiang looked at Zhang Zheng and asked with a smile.
This is always the case with this acute sub-worker.
Zhang Zheng is nominally his companion, but he is the only son of the first prime minister of the empire today, and his father is his own husband, Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling!
The two are of the same age, and they have been studying together since childhood, and they feel like siblings, and they are inseparable almost when they are fine.
"But have you forgotten that this year's New Year's poetry meeting was personally organized by Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen, so naturally we can't be late, if we arrive early, maybe we can help."
"Okay, it's still thoughtful, but, depending on the time, I can't help this time, but I can still catch up with the time to participate in the poetry meeting."
For the annual Tang New Year Poetry Meeting, Li Xiang loves and hates.
What he loves is that he can see the most outstanding and popular poetry talents in the Tang Empire this year, and he has gained a lot, but what he hates is that he is really not a genius who writes poetry.
"Let's go now—"
After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, he immediately turned around and turned over on his horse.
"Oh, Zhang Zheng, you wait for me, I'll come when I go!"
Just when Zhang Zheng was still confused, the figure of the Grand Commander Li Xiang had already returned to Dr. Qian's clinic again.
What is the Grand Commander going to do?
Zhang Zheng looked puzzled.
