Chapter 377: Calculation
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Old lady Qu picked up the teacup, shook her gray head and slowly blew the tea leaves floating on the tea surface, took a sip, sighed very enjoyably, and then said: "I found a family with you, and I was about to come to you to say, it happened that someone came to the door, and it was also for your Zuo family's blind date, and I want to give the girl to your family." ”
"Really? Who is it? ”
"Speaking of this person, you should know that when he was in Hezhou, there was a war and a fire, and his daughter broke her leg while saving food, and then Xiaolangzhong was treated, and their family agreed to get married, so that you could help survive the famine."
"Master Joe?" Zuo Gui's face suddenly darkened.
"That's right!" Old lady Qu said: "Don't worry, listen to me, I know that you are very angry that their family went back on their word, betrayed their promise, and hated the daughter of the Qiao family, and was unwilling to let Zhong'er treat his daughter's injury. Qiao Qiaoer's elder brother Qiao Guan, is a judge of Dali Temple, through this relationship, found the younger brother of Zhen Quan of Zhen's Medical Center in the capital, Zhen Liyan of Taichang Temple Cheng saw the disease, Zhen Liyan saw it, said that this leg was not saved, the family panicked, Qiao's family ran to Hezhou to find you, and after learning that you entered Beijing, they rushed to the capital again. I won't talk about the rest of it, they said they had already seen you. You won't heal.
"Yes, I don't want to see this perfidy."
"I know, I also said to Master Qiao fiercely, he expressed regret all the time, and then, ask me to intercede, I hope you will forgive their mistakes and help Miss Qiao'er heal her injuries."
In the past few days, Zuo Gui's father has actually figured it out, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns, it is Master Qiao who is treacherous, and it has nothing to do with Qiao Qiaoer's illness, his own family is a pharmacy, and it is his duty to treat people, and he should not link personal grievances with treatment.
Therefore, Zuo Gui's father sighed: "Okay, when Zhong'er comes back, I will tell Zhong'er to let Zhong'er treat his daughter." ”
Old lady Qu was very happy, she didn't expect Father Zuo Gui to agree so happily, and happily stroked her beard and said, "Great, in addition, there is something I want to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Originally, when Master Qiao's son Qiao Guan found me, he said, if you can say that you can treat Miss Qiao'er, then it is best, if you don't want to, I will tell you that they are willing to abide by the original marriage contract, marry their daughter to your family Zhong'er as a wife, and agree that you will take a concubine in the future! But there is one condition. ”
Father Zuo Gui said coldly with a gloomy face: "What conditions?" ”
"I have to let Zhong'er rely on the Jinshi within three years, and if she can't pass the exam within three years, the marriage will be blown up."
Father Zuo Gui was furious and stood up: "What is he doing when I am the Zuo family?" The one who asks for rice is called Hanako? What is it when his daughter? Fragrant dumplings made of gold and jade? My Zuo family has to marry his daughter? Bah! Old lady Qu, please go back and tell him that if my family Zhong'er is admitted to the Jinshi, some of them are the daughters of the princess and the princess and the minister, and he can choose him, so there is no need to beg him to go up to the door of Qiao's house! If my loyal son can't pass the imperial examination, even if he can't marry a daughter-in-law in his life, he won't ask for the stinky daughter of his Qiao family! ”
Old lady Qu hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Okay, Zuo Langzhong is angry, first calm down, this matter is also my mouth, I don't show his hole cards, and you won't be so angry." The fact that Master Qiao did this is a little too much, originally, he shouldn't have regretted the marriage when he promised to get married, since he regretted the marriage, it is normal to seek medical treatment when he is sick, and he uses his daughter's as a bargaining chip, what is this. Okay, okay, don't be angry, Xiaolangzhong has the ability now, don't worry about finding a suitable daughter-in-law. -- I'm going to find one and tell you about it. ”
Zuo Gui's father was so angry that he smoked, but as soon as he heard this, his anger immediately dissipated, and he hurriedly sat back in his chair: "Which family is the old man looking for?" ”
Old lady Qu sat back in the chair slowly, took another sip of tea, and then said: "The granddaughter of Emperor Gaozu's imperial physician during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. Old Doctor Yu has a background, he is the wife and brother of Lord Liu Zhenghui, the current secretary of the Criminal Department. Lord Liu knows, right? That is the first hero who followed Emperor Gaozu to Taiyuan to raise troops! He was very appreciated by Emperor Gaozu, and the current emperor is also very good to him. Relying on this relationship, the old lady doctor Yu also went all the way to become the imperial doctor of Emperor Gaozu. After Emperor Gaozu abdicated, the old lady doctor Yu was old, so he retired from the old man. His son, the father of the girl who recommended you as your daughter-in-law, is also a famous doctor in Xinglin in Beijing, and has a 'Yu's Medical Center' in the capital, and the business is very prosperous. What do you think of this family business? ”
Zuo Gui's father was pleasantly surprised, he boasted of being an official eunuch family, and he knew the Tang Dynasty official system very well, not to mention the nepotism of the old lady doctor, and there was a brother-in-law who was the secretary of the criminal department to support him in the back, even the old lady Yu himself was amazing, he served the imperial doctor from the sixth grade, and he was the imperial doctor next to the emperor, although he was only the emperor of Gaozu, and now he has retired, but in the end, it is the official eunuch's house, if the door is right, it is naturally a hundred proper, but, I don't know what the other situation is, I hurriedly turned my head over, and asked with a dry smile: "Such a person, Can you take a fancy to our left family? ”
Old lady Qu smiled: "Zuo Langzhong, why are you lacking confidence so much?" Don't forget, your Zuo family is also an official family, and your ancestors are also officials, and now Ling Lang is the 'model of supporting the army' personally named by Prince Zhao! According to the family, it is not inferior to their family, the most important thing is the two poems of your family's loyalty, hehe, quite appreciated by this girl, it can be said that she fell in love at first sight, crying and making trouble to end this family business! Doctor Yu loves this granddaughter the most, so this family affair will naturally become! ”
These words made Zuo Gui's father so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "The old man has won the award, so in this way, this is the granddaughter of the old lady doctor, and she is also talented and beautiful?" ”
"That's nature! This girl can be said to have grown up with me, her character and appearance are first-class, this literary style, not to mention, since she was a child, someone has been specially taught, and she is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
"Good, great!" Zuo Gui's father asked again: "Then, ...... about this concubine?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm more anxious about this matter than you, if I'm not allowed to take a concubine, what will happen to my Zhi'er? Hehe, so, I made it clear to Imperial Physician Yu that I would take my granddaughter and two other women as concubines after a year of marriage, and they said that there was no problem. ”
Zuo Gui's father was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he gave his hand again and again: "Great, when will you go on a blind date?" ”
"How's it going?"
"Uh, can you go on a blind date this afternoon?"
Old lady Qu smiled: "What? Looking at such a good person, I'm afraid I'll run away again? Hahaha, don't worry, I don't dare to say to others, Doctor Yu, we have been friends for decades, he would rather cut off his head than regret it! ”
"That's good," Zuo Gui arched his hand, "I'm really sorry, I'm really scared, I just hope that I can take my daughter-in-law back smoothly this time." ”
"No problem! I'll go back and talk to them now, and I'll pick you up for a blind date!" ”
"Okay, why don't you let the young lady of the Qiao family come to treat the disease first, Zhong'er and they are going to come back for dinner at noon, take a look at the disease first, and then decide how to treat it, to be honest, I won't cure this disease, only Zhong'er will be."
Old lady Qu agreed, and hurriedly said goodbye and came out of the inn.
Turning the corner of the street, Qiao Guan was holding a folding fan, dressed in casual clothes, and was there like a headless fly, waiting anxiously, when he saw him coming with a smile, he suddenly became happy, and the iron plate squeezed out a trace of a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Lord Qu, how is it?" ”
"That's it!" Old Lady Qu said happily, "I'll just say it, Father Zuogui is very good, with clear grievances and grievances, and he won't turn patients away." ”
"Great!" Qiao Guan opened the folding fan with a bang, and kept fanning the old lady Qu: "Did Lord Qu mention the matter of the sister's marriage?" ”
"Got it!" Old lady Qu sighed and said, "Mr. Zuo said that they will not hang themselves from a tree, so this blind date still has to go, and if they meet the right one, they will marry back." If you can't meet the right one, in the future, their Xiaolang will be a Jinshi in middle and high school, and they may not necessarily marry your Qiao Qiao'er, it depends on the fate of the two. ”
Qiao Guanpi smiled and said: "Yes, I also thought that the three-year appointment was a little inappropriate, as if people had to marry Qiao'er." Mr. Zuo's words are also very reasonable, it depends on their fate. ”
"Okay, you hurry up and send Qiao'er to the doctor, they are waiting, and they will go on a blind date in the afternoon."
"Good!" Qiao Guan naturally cares most about his sister's injury, and solves this problem first, as for the matter of marriage, he can only follow fate.
Qiao Guan came home and told his parents about it, they were very surprised, Master Qiao said: "They didn't even take advantage of the situation to force Qiao'er to marry? It's weird. ”
Mrs. Qiao said, "Presumably you want to take this opportunity to knock us down, right?" ”
Qiao Qiao'er muttered: "Brother Zuo is not that kind of person!" ”
Qiao Guan said: "Let's not talk about these things first, it's important to send them for treatment quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Master Qiao said, "Since they don't want to marry Qiao'er, let's just not open this mouth and just cure the disease." ”
Qiao Guan sighed and said: "Dad, my son has a saying in front of him, with Xiaolang's medical skills, even Zhen Lao's divine doctor can't cure the disease, he can cure it, just this point, I'm afraid that the doctor will not be able to run away!" Coupled with his literary brilliance, it is not difficult to rely on his talents. There are more than 20 Jinshi in our Datang every year, all of whom are staring at the dignitaries of the capital, and when we fight at that time, I am afraid that it will not be our turn to be a family like ours. ”
Master Qiao snorted: "What? Do you think our family is not prominent enough? Don't forget you, your old lady was a high-ranking official from Xiuzhou back then! ”
