Chapter Twenty-Four: Reciprocation
Is this what makes the medrica a doctor special?
"Where did the evil spirit come from?" The Queen Mother was surprised.
"The qi of heaven and earth has good and evil, and when people are healthy, it is not easy for evil winds to enter the body, and when they are injured or sick, they must be extra careful." Zhang Weizhao said as he took out the light salt water boiled with pepper and Sichuan Qiong, bowed his head and said, "This will hurt a little." ”
"Fine." Chen Youcong said.
Zhang Wei held Chen Youcong's hand in one hand, and poured the disinfectant solution on the wound with the other hand to clean.
Chen Youcong's fingers are slender, the texture is well-proportioned, and the nails are crystal full. The wound touched the salt water, and it was indeed a little painful, Chen Youcong's hand trembled, but he didn't move away.
After Zhang Weizhao quickly disinfected him, he applied ointment, but said that the weather was hot, so there was no need to bandage, and it was best to wear narrow sleeves in casual clothes, and not let the sleeves brush the wound.
Someone hurriedly came over to tie Chen Youcong's cuffs, and Chen Youcong stood up and prepared to go to his courtyard to change clothes.
Zhang Weizhao suddenly stood in front of Chen Youcong, raised his palms and bent down to salute: "Please ask the prince to pay for the small road consultation." ”
The main hall suddenly became extremely quiet, from the queen mother to the palace maids and eunuchs, including Chen Youcong himself, who was chased for money, they were all stunned.
What? There is a doctor who dares to ask the prince in person for a consultation? What did the Queen Mother summon you for? Isn't it just to serve the master in the palace? You still receive the monthly salary, the master is willing to give you a reward, that is an additional gift, if you don't give it to you, you should also share, how dare you be cheeky to ask for it?
The big palace maid Peony next to the Queen Mother came back to her senses first: "Bold! Don't rely on a little bit of medical skill to commit a crime! That's what you can say! ”
turned around and pleaded guilty to the Queen Mother: "The slave and maid are derelict in their duties, please condemn the Queen Mother!" I'm going to find someone to teach her the rules well. "Saying that, he was going to recruit someone to pull Zhang Weizhao out.
The prince raised his hand to stop her, looked Zhang Weizhao up and down a few times, and asked, "Why do you want to ask me for the medical fee?" Don't you have a monthly rule in the palace? ”
Zhang Weizhao could feel her body tight, and she knew what kind of risk she was taking by doing this, but since she chose this time today to show her attitude, she had to make her words clear:
"Xiaodao did his duty for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother sent Xiaodao a monthly example. In addition, the reason why I asked the prince for a consultation is because all things in heaven and earth are circulated around the world, and you come and go, so there is vitality. I want to pay for the consultation, not because I am greedy for money, but because I hope that the behavior of treating the prince is in line with the way of heaven. The prince paid me for his own health. Even if the prince only pays me a leaf and a grass, it is a good reward. ”
Chen Youcong couldn't help laughing, his voice was quite clear, "You can tell the difference very clearly." ”
He looked left and right, picked out the smallest plum from the fruit bowl on the next table, picked it up, and said to the Queen Mother in a matter-of-fact manner: "Grandmother Huang, can I borrow you a plum today?" Later, the grandson will definitely return it with interest. ”
The Queen Mother saw that the prince had been depressed for several days, and it was rare for her to be so interested today, so she also smiled and said: "I want to receive two cents of profit." ”
Chen Youcong replied: "Sun Er's province." ”
handed the plum to Zhang Weizhao: "Well, this is the consultation fee for you." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Weizhao gave a deep salute and accepted it with a smile. This level is over, and the sweat on her back is almost soaking through her underwear.
So the prince went back to his temple in the east courtyard to change his clothes.
The Queen Mother looked at the prince in the distance, sighed, and sat back on the couch. Peony approached the queen mother and fanned it, and said cautiously: "This Taoist doctor, a few days ago, learned the rules quickly, and he didn't look like a fox, but he didn't expect to be so frivolous today." Do you want to ......?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and interrupted her: "I heard Feng Qing say that her master's nickname is called Crazy Dao Man, and she has always acted unexpectedly, but she really has the ability to do it, and it is said that if you find someone who cuts her neck, he can sew it up and save it." If there is such a master, such an apprentice will be taught. If she is really capable, my Changle Palace will naturally be able to accommodate her. If she doesn't have the ability to just bluff, it's not too late to deal with it. ”
"Yes!" Peony commanded.
Zhang Weizhao came out of the palace, and an eleven or twelve-year-old palace maid named Green Pothos followed her behind with a medicine box.
Zhang Weizhao himself did not have a palace maid to serve, and the green pothos was assigned to Zhang Weizhao by the palace maid Xiangyu to help.
"Sister, sister," Lu Luo saw that it was far away from the main hall, so she dared to whisper to Zhang Weizhao: "You are so amazing!" Can I take a look at the honorarium you just asked the prince for? ”
A little palace maid like Luluo couldn't enter the main hall yet, she just heard Zhang Weizhao's conversation with everyone while waiting outside the door.
Zhang Weizhao opened his hand and showed the plum in his palm to the pothos, and saw the pothos looking at the plum with glowing eyes, so he asked, "Do you want to taste it?" ”
"Slaves don't dare! Slaves don't dare! The pothos waved her hand again and again: "I'll just take a look." ”
Seeing that he had walked to the ear room where Zhang Weizhao lived, Luluo came in and closed the door, put the medicine box next to the cabinet, and cautiously said to Zhang Weizhao: "Sister, are you not familiar with the rules of the palace?" The master's reward cannot be given to others at will, but must be offered well as a sign of reverence. ”
Zhang Weizhao turned his head and smiled: "This is not a reward, this is a reward, I exchanged it for my medical skills." So this plum can be as much as I want. Come! ”
As he spoke, he divided the plum in half, handed half to the pothos, and stuffed the other half into his mouth.
Pothos held the half plum with both hands, looked at the plum with sparkling eyes, and then looked at Zhang Weizhao, "Can you really eat it?" ”
Zhang Weizhao smiled and said, "Of course! Sweet and sour. ”
Pothos put the plum in her mouth, "Hmm! Sour and sweet! Thank you sister! After eating, he carefully put away the plum pits.
Zhang Weizhao packed up his things, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to record the medical case.
Pothos has always been very sensible, and when he sees that Zhang Weizhao doesn't need help, he will go out and do his own thing. But today he didn't want to leave, as if he had something to say.
Before she could speak, suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door: "Miss Zhang, please open the door." ”
Luluo opened the door and hurriedly blessed the visitors outside the door, and then her body flashed to the side: "Hello Sister Wenzhu!" Sister, please come in! He turned his head to Zhang Weizhao and said, "Sister Zhang, it's Sister Wenzhu next to the prince who is here!" ”
Zhang Weizhao hurriedly came over to salute.
Wen Zhu smiled: "I won't go in." It was the prince who asked me to give me the honorarium. ”
A small palace maid behind Wen Zhu immediately brought over a tray with a bulging purse and a large fruit bowl full of peaches and plums.
Zhang Weizhao saluted in the direction where the prince's bedroom was located: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Miss Zhang, go on. When the prince went back, he told me to hurry up and return the queen mother's plums, saying that he was afraid that the interest would be too high to pay back after a long time. Then he called for the girl to send the medical fee. The prince's status is precious, and seeing the prince is the supreme honor of a doctor, and the remuneration will naturally not be less than yours. Although Wenzhu is joking, it also has the meaning of beating.
Zhang Weizhao just didn't hear it, took the tray, and sent them away with a smile.
At this moment, Luluo had more respect for Zhang Weizhao, and with a hint of nervousness, she asked Zhang Weizhao in a low voice: "Sister, studying medicine, is it difficult?" How many years have you studied medicine? ”
"It's not easy to study medicine." Of course, among the many disciplines of the 21st century, medicine is one of the most difficult majors, and it requires a long period of training in addition to studying. "I've been studying for about 12 years." It has been so long since I started my undergraduate degree, master's and doctor's degree plus internship.
Luluo understood that Zhang Weizhao was born in a family of Xinglin and began to study medicine at the age of three, so he couldn't help but be very envious, and whispered very shyly: "Sister, I'm not afraid of hardship, you see, I, can I learn?" ”
Seeing Zhang Weizhao looking up at her, he immediately followed: "Of course I don't ask my sister to teach me everything, just teach me some simple things." In the future, I will do the laundry and make shoes for my sister, will it be done? As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Weizhao with a blank look.
Zhang Weizhao smiled and said, "That's a good idea!" I don't know how to do needlework, so I'll leave it to you later! "It just so happens that she lacks a helper.
Luluo didn't expect Zhang Weizhao to agree so happily, he was stunned, and then knelt down straight, his head on the ground.
Zhang Weizhao didn't expect her to come out like this, so he was startled and quickly pulled her up from the ground.
She didn't know that in the court, if the little palace maid wanted to learn a craft that could be promoted, whether it was embroidery, tea art, gardening, incense making or massage, it was a rare skill.
The green pothos was pulled up from the ground by Zhang Weizhao, and immediately took out a small purse from his arms, and then pulled out the silver hairpin on the top of his head, and said ashamedly: "Master, I have little money per month, there is only so much, don't dislike it, master." As he spoke, he was about to stuff it into Zhang Weizhao's hand.
Zhang Weizhao shook her head and asked her to put away her purse, and then inserted the hairpin back into her head, "This is really useless." All you need to do is help me with the needlework. I have a headache when I hear about needlework or something, if you can help me, I really want to burn high incense. Also, you don't have to call me master, just call me sister. ”
Green pothos smiled and nodded hurriedly: "Okay!" Although I coarse benzene, needle and thread also made. Even Sister Xiangyu has praised me several times. "Xiangyu is the palace maid in charge of the queen mother's clothing, and she is very good at needlework.
"That's for the best."
The two talked and laughed a few more words, and Luluo saw that Zhang Weizhao was going to do something, so he withdrew.
Zhang Weizhao spread out his notebook to write a medical case, but he fell into deep thought.
Today is also considered a dangerous march. It's not that she doesn't know what the palace is like. However, she did not want to be a minion of this court. She was a free person, in a past life, and in this life.
Asking for remuneration is to maintain one's bottom line as a free person. I can provide you with my services, but you have to pay me. I'm not your minion, and you can't use me as you please.
Even if it's a grass or a leaf, it's a symbol and a ritual.
