Chapter 29: The door is hard to enter

Thanks to the thirty-two great changes in the reward, the first reward of this book.

――――――――――――――――

The next day, Xie Hong was reviewing the documents in the government office, when he suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, and the voices of people were boiling. Xie Hongdaqi, Beizhuang County is a small county, with a small population and less excitement, and the people have nothing to do to watch and quarrel or something, which is already a lot of fun.

He was curious, and wanted to go out and have a look. As a result, when he arrived at the yamen, he found that he was not the only one who was curious, and the officials, scribes, and even the old man Lu ran out.

The officials were all curious, but Old Man Lu's expression was rather strange, Xie Hong remembered that when he was appointed as the chief secretary, he also saw this look on his face, well, it was a look of envy. Xie Hong was even more curious, what did this old man envy? Could it be that the outside is marrying a new daughter-in-law? The old bachelor is greedy?

Seeing him coming, the officials consciously moved out of the way, only Master Lu remained silent and tilted his head to the side. Xie Hong smiled and nodded with the officials, and then looked out the door.

I saw a team of mermaids walking outside, just passing by the yamen. At first, there were a few strong men, holding a gong to open the way, and the people behind were neatly dressed, most of them were dressed in Tsing Yi and small hats, but the clothes were all new, and the people wearing new clothes also looked very energetic.

The most eye-catching thing is the sedan chair carried by four people in the middle of the team, seeing this sedan chair, Xie Hong knows what Old Man Lu is blushing at.

In this paragraph, Xie Hong looked through the documents in the yamen, and also made up some common sense of the Ming Dynasty. I also know that the official sedan chair of this era, like the car of officials in later generations, also has a system of riding. And unlike the unspoken rules of later generations, there are clear provisions at this time.

Ordinary people, even if they are rich, can only sit in a sedan chair carried by two people, and if a sedan chair carried by four people is overstepping, it is a big crime. Xie Hong wondered in his heart, could it be that the officials of the Xuan Mansion went out on patrol? Otherwise, how could such a big formation be put on?

Just as he was puzzled, Xie Hong heard the officials beside him talking about it.

"This is that Lord Gu, right? It's really majestic, it's not a loss, it's the first-class figure in our Beizhuang County. You look at this sedan chair, you look at the guard of honor, tsk, the people who walk around in front of the Long Live Lord, this bearing is different. ”

"But isn't it, it's really amazing, I heard that this adult's medical skills are like gods, should we also ask his old man to give him a pulse?"

"Ha, it's just you, don't dream, that is the imperial doctor, just a little official like us, let alone seeing Master Gu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the door of the Gu family."

Lord Gu, the imperial doctor? Hearing these two keywords, Xie Hong suddenly said, yes, can put on such a big show in this small county, isn't there any other imperial doctor in the capital? Well, they just came back today, so I'll visit tomorrow. He was thinking about it in his heart, so that he didn't listen to any of the other things the officials said.

After getting this good news, Xie Hong was in a good mood, and he was smiling all day, and the officials were guessing wildly, but no one dared to ask him in person.

Unconsciously, Xie Hong has become the backbone of the people around him. He has always been sad about these words, and he is not very happy even with his family, but today he suddenly turned cloudy and sunny, and the happiest person is Qing'er. The little girl didn't have so much scheming, and when she saw that her brother was happy, she asked curiously.

"Brother Hong, is there anything good today? In the white day, it's very lively outside. ”

"Well, there are good things, but you have to keep it secret first, and then tell Qing'er tomorrow." Xie Hong was very happy, but he wanted to surprise Qing'er and Niang, and planned to let the two know when he invited Imperial Doctor Gu over tomorrow.

Qing'er pouted unhappily, Brother Hong had never hidden himself before. It's just that the little girl is still a child's surname, and without waiting for Xie Hong to coax, she put this unhappiness aside, tilted her head and asked, "Brother Hong, really?" ”

Looking at the innocent appearance of the little girl, Xie Hong smiled, played with her double buns, and said, "Well, it must be a good thing, Qing'er is waiting, and my brother will give you a big surprise tomorrow." ”

……

"Brother Xie, let's go, shall we?" As soon as Xie Hong went out, Ma Wentao greeted him.

Looking up, the sky was a little gloomy, Xie Hong nodded, walked a few steps, and asked again: "Brother Ma, how was the matter that asked you to inquire yesterday?" ”

Although Master Gu had just arrived yesterday and it was not easy to visit, Xie Hong was not idle. He instructed Ma Wentao to inquire about the other party's preferences, and it was only right to act after making a decision.

"I didn't inquire about this, but not long after this adult came back yesterday, a notice was posted outside the Gu Mansion."

"Notice? What do you say at the door? "It's another notice, Xie Hong was surprised, this Imperial Doctor Gu's spectrum is really big, this thing is not something that ordinary people can play casually.

Speaking of this, Ma Wentao himself felt funny, and said: "This notice is somewhat similar to the previous time when Brother Xie offered your treasure, but what the Gu family purchased was not something interesting, but a treasure for worshipping the Buddha." ”

"Worship the Buddha? Could this Lord Gu be a believer in Buddhism? ”

"I don't know about this, and the reason is not explained on the notice, but the little guy I inquired about the news said that he was from the inner government and knew the reason. But that guy opened his mouth widely, and a message actually asked me for twenty taels of silver, I really wanted money and wanted crazy. Ma Wentao shook his head, extremely disdainful of the little guy who wanted money.

He didn't care, but Xie Hong was interested, he knew very well from later generations that intelligence is very important, and sometimes a small piece of news may be able to achieve great things.

The Gu Mansion is in the south of the city, and most of the wealthy families in the county also live here. In this regard, Xie Hong also had some guesses: probably to facilitate escape, after all, Beizhuang is located on the border, and the direction from which the Tartars came came from the north.

Xie Hong originally planned to ask Ma Wentao to help lead the way, but when he arrived, he realized that he didn't need to lead the way at all. He went out early today, but there were a lot of people who were earlier than him, and in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of Gu Mansion, a large group of people gathered.

There are a lot of people at the door, which makes Xie Hong also staggered, this black pressure is overwhelming, there are hundreds of people, and the celebrity effect of the imperial doctor is really not small. There were too many people, and Xie Hong couldn't squeeze in for a while, so he had to wait and see from the periphery first.

I saw that some of these people were carrying gifts, some were waving silver, and of course, many more were begging the two family members at the door.

"This big brother, let me know, this silver is hard-earned money."

"No, I can't. My family's classic car is tired and resting, who dares to disturb? You have a life to take the silver, but you don't have a life to spend it. "That Ding Hei is quite dark, and if you calm your face, it looks even darker. He shook his head with a dark face, unmoved by the silver.

This Ding is really dedicated, Xie Hong shook his head, although he stood far away, but his eyesight was excellent, and he clearly saw that the person handed over a piece of silver, I am afraid that it will be less than ten taels.

"Let's not bother Master Gu, how about asking the eldest brother to accept this gift on his behalf?"

"No. My lord has commanded me, if you really have the heart, do you see the notice there? Bring the things that worship the Buddha, and the lord will see you. Don't take out these ordinary goods, what kind of family is the Gu family, will you lack this bit of money. "The giver of the gift also touched the nose of ash.

"This eldest brother, my father is seriously ill and wants to ask Lord Gu for help, so you can pity me for my filial piety."

"No matter. There are many seriously ill people in the world, do you want my master to be pitiful? Hurry up, go, don't bother here. ”

No matter what method was used, the two family members were completely unmoved, and the two vermilion lacquer doors were the same, closed tightly.

Alas, the door is hard to enter! Xie Hong sighed in his heart, this imperial doctor is even more powerful than the expert outpatient clinics of later generations.
