Chapter 71: Qiao Zheng
The leader nodded knowingly, and didn't say anything more, but the person who called Qiao Qi changed his words,
said with a smile: "But I heard that the master of Qinghetang is not yet twenty years old, and our best master can't do it at this level at this age." β
The old man was a little surprised, it was rare to hear Qiao Qi have such a high opinion of people, he took a little bit of the medicinal materials on the table, smelled the taste carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the shopkeeper Qiao: "Since Qiao Qi thinks it is good, then buy it at the price of first-class medicinal materials, and the favor is also done, and we will not suffer." β
Shopkeeper Qiao nodded and saluted.
Old man Qiao sighed and lay back on the couch, "Since your Uncle Qiao Qing left, the Qiao family has not been as good as a year for a year, and now only Qiao Shi is supported in the Tai Hospital alone, and the medical integrity that our Qiao family has been in hand for generations has also been taken away by the Zheng family, and it is restricted by the Zheng family everywhere, Qiao Zheng is still young, and the Qiao family is struggling now, I don't know when I will be able to turn over!" β
Qiao Qihe smiled kindly, and covered the old man Qiao who was lying on the couch with a blanket, "Dad, don't think too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I see that Qiao Zheng is a promising person, and it will be fine in two years." β
Old man Qiao squinted his eyes and nodded, "Since the one named Gu Jinqing has come to say hello, let's push the boat down the river to do a personal favor and help others more, and your second cousin will have less pressure in the Tai Hospital." β
Qiao Qi said humbly: "Dad said yes." β
The three of Jin Qing in the lobby of Renrun Hall finally waited for the shopkeeper Qiao, and the price of the sale was much higher than Jinqing's expectations, and the three of them were very happy at the same time, the shopkeeper Qiao promised that in the future, the medicinal materials from their family could be sent, and he accepted them.
Jin Qing's heart was full of joy, the originally deflated purse also bulged, and Ding Linhe, who had always been unpleasant, also liked it two more points, Ding Linhe was hairy by Jin Qing's gaze, as if he was a big ingots shining with golden light in front of Jin Qing, and he was just knocked into pieces and sold.
With a market, Ding Linhe, who had been complaining for days, suddenly became full of enthusiasm, and the second batch of medicinal materials soon came out.
When Jinqing went to Renrun Hall again, the guy took her directly to the back hall, and settled the bill after the herbs were passed. When Jin Qing took the money and came out, he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man sitting in the corridor of the back hall, looking through a medical book seriously.
Ya Yi felt Jin Qing's gaze, the young man raised his head and glanced at Jin Qing, realizing that he was blocking Jin Qing's way, he quickly stood up and stretched out his hand apologetically, "You have please." With a face like white jade, a warm voice, modest and polite, and a slightly plump figure that made him look like a cute doll, Jin Qing suddenly had a good impression of the young man in front of him, "You didn't stop me, it's just that I saw that you were studying medicine and looked twice, are you an apprentice here?" The young man was stunned and smiled: "Sort of, Lou's name is Qiao Zheng." β
As soon as Jinqing heard that his surname was Qiao, he knew that he should be a certain child of the Qiao family of the medical family, and it was always right to have a good relationship, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "I am Gu Jinqing from Qinghetang, please take care of me in the future." β
Qiao Zheng's eyes widened, a little surprised, "Are you a doctor?" β
Jin Qing nodded, most people knew that she was a doctor, and this was the same reaction. Qiao Zheng realized his gaffe, and then smiled: "I don't know a little bit about it here, you can help me take a look." β
Jin Qing and Qiao Zheng discussed on the corridor for a while, and in the end they didn't believe that he was just an apprentice, many places have unique opinions, and they also have their own ways of thinking, Jin Qing and he discussed very happily, and by the way, he also told him a lot of theories in modern pharmacy, such as drug metabolism, the way drugs act on the human body, etc. Qiao Zheng has never heard of this thing, although he thinks it is incredible, but it makes sense.
Just as the two of them were talking happily, they were stopped by an old man who was frowning and holding his hands behind his back, and Qiao Zheng seemed to be in awe of this old man, and shouted sneeringly: "Third uncle"
Qiao Sanbo glanced at Jin Qing and patted Qiao Zheng's head kindly, and said with a smile: "The selection of the imperial doctor is about to be selected, there are only two places this year, and you can't relax during this time!" Qiao Zheng lowered his eyes and saluted, "My nephew knows that he will not disappoint the third uncle." β
At this meeting, even a fool could hear that Qiao Sanbo thought that Jin Qing had delayed his children's study, and Jin Qing didn't want to offend the Feng family, the food and clothing parents, so he hurriedly retired and left.
After Jin Qing left, Qiao Sanbo comforted Qiao Zheng, who was a little unhappy, with a helpless tone, "Your father is gone, the Qiao family is now withering, and only your second uncle is struggling to support it alone, and the position of the doctor has also been taken away by the Zheng family!" That's a great shame for our Qiao family! β
Seeing that Qiao Zheng was unmoved, Qiao Sanbo whispered: "I only let you study before, and I didn't let you get in touch with the things in the court, but now the King of Qin is in full swing, and it is very likely that he will inherit the throne in the future, his mother is the Zheng family, if the King of Qin ascends to the throne, the Zheng family will not suppress our Qiao family to the death!" Now the entire Qiao family is counting on you to fight for your breath and take back the position of the doctor! Qiao Zheng still looked calm and amiable, and his tone was calm and steady, "Third uncle, no matter who becomes the emperor, he has to be cured, right?" Our Qiao family has always been to convince people with virtue, even if the Zheng family is in power, the Qiao family has not done anything wrong, don't worry about it so early. β
Qiao Sanbo hated and just wanted to jump to his feet, his anxious room was half on fire, but the future head of the Qiao family was a nerd who was obsessed with medicine, he didn't understand the deception of the court, the shopping mall was like a battlefield, and the grievances between the two families involved the entire north of the Tang Dynasty and the foreign trade in medicinal materials, often tens of millions of taels of silver, if the villain Zheng Baifeng really gained power, I am afraid that the Qiao family would have to fall apart sooner or later.
"Do you know why we want to accept Gu Jinqing's medicinal herbs? She didn't even join the medical association, and no one in the medical association went to trouble her! Qiao Sanbo felt that it was necessary to popularize social knowledge for nerds.
Qiao Zheng's eyes widened, puzzled, "Jinqing people are very good, I just talked to her, she has a lot of novel ideas, they are all very reasonable, presumably the medicinal materials are also very good." Why bother her, she's a good doctor, multiple enemies are not as good as multiple friends, maybe we still need her help. Qiao Sanbo knocked his head painfully, "You better read your medical book carefully, you don't need to worry about anything else." β
Gu Jinqing is just a wild man who doesn't know where he came from, I heard that he is still from a traveling doctor, can such a person help the Qiao family? It's a big joke, Qiao Zheng is too naΓ―ve. The acceptance of Gu Jinqing's medicinal materials was just because someone had come to inform him in advance, and the Qiao family wanted to sell his favor to Gu Jinqing's backstage.
Qiao Sanbo put his hands behind his back, walked inside with a frustrated face, shook his head and muttered to himself: "It's just playing the piano to the cow and teaching Qiao Zheng, let's leave it to his second uncle, I can't ...............help it" Qiao Qi rushed over early in the morning, heard the conversation between the two of them from beginning to end, patted the confused Qiao Zheng with a smile, and whispered: "Don't worry about my father, you love to worry when you're old, you just have to read your books." β
Qiao Qi thinks that this cousin is very good, he is already so good at a young age, sooner or later he is more capable than the uncle who has left, among their generation, Qiao Zheng is the most capable, as for his father, Qiao Zheng is a nerd, in his opinion, he is just quieter, he can't turn around and speak, it's not that he doesn't understand the world, but he sees it more thoroughly than those who are deeply involved.
When Qiao Zheng returned home, the second uncle Qiao Shi was sitting in the lobby resting, his brows were furrowed, his face was sad, and he only smiled reluctantly when he saw Qiao Zheng come back.
Zheng Zheng stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Second uncle, what's wrong with you?" β
When Qiao Shi saw his excellent nephew, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he said with a haha: "It's nothing!" Qiao Zheng glanced at the second uncle carefully, he simply didn't ask about the world, but he was not a fool, he vaguely guessed something, and asked directly: "Second uncle, is the concubine's illness serious again?" Qiao Shi sighed and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll find a way slowly, and it will always be cured." He wiped his face again and sighed: "If only your father were here, my eldest brother has always been smart and talented, where would he be as stupid as me, there must be no problem in treating the concubine." The position of the doctor will not fall into the hands of the Zheng family, and the second uncle is useless. β
Qiao Zheng frowned, he knew that the situation in the family was not optimistic, Zheng Yizheng was aggressive, and the second uncle felt that he was not capable enough all day long, and he was not as good as his deceased father.
"Second uncle, you have done a good job." Qiao Zheng said in a low voice, there is another sentence hidden in his heart for a long time and has not been spoken, even if his father is still there, he may not be able to do it to this extent.
In the evening, Jin Qing returned home, and a housekeeper lady of the Jin Palace's mansion was already waiting there, and said to Jin Qing with a respectful face: "Gu Ruren misses you and Young Master Jinzhi, and I want to ask you to go to the palace with Young Master Jinzhi tomorrow." Jin Qing was a little surprised, but she still agreed, Jin Zhi hadn't seen her cousin yet, and the family should recognize her relatives.
Jin Qing and Jin Zhi were picked up by the people of the Jin Palace, and led them directly to the courtyard of the Jin Princess, Gu Ruixue saw Jin Qing and Jin Zhi, so she pulled Jin Qing into the Jin Princess's room, Jin Zhi was ten years old, and it was inconvenient to enter the room of the female dependent.
Princess Jin was lying on the bed coughing in a low voice, the room was full of pungent medicinal smell, Gu Ruixue whispered to Jin Qing: "Sister, my illness has worsened in the past two days, and those imperial doctors have not said a word of sincerity, come and see what is going on?" β
After Jin Qing took the pulse, she and Gu Ruixue withdrew from the inner room, and Gu Ruixue asked anxiously, "How is my sister's body?" β
Jin Qing opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, Gu Ruixue saw Jin Qing's concerns, held Jin Qing's hand and said, "Just say it, I just need to listen to the truth." β
"I'm afraid it's already running out of oil." Jin Qing replied truthfully.
