Chapter 163: Doctor Fang came to the door
In the afternoon of the same day, Doctor Fang came to Cui's house with a generous gift.
He didn't post in advance, Cui Ge Lao was not at home, and the porter didn't let him in at all, so he simply knelt down at the gate of Cui's house.
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she just sneered: "This Fang Taiyi is really interesting. There are not thousands of people who come to our house every day to ask to see them, but there are hundreds of them, do we all have to meet any person who comes to our house? But anyone who has a little brain knows to send a greeting post in advance, and then come to visit after getting a reply. He's good, he ran over recklessly, and when he didn't see the elder of the pavilion, he knelt down directly outside? Who is he kneeling for? Does he like to kneel? Then let him kneel until the elder of the pavilion comes back! Otherwise, if everyone learns from him and kneels at the gate like this, he will have to be received, and the elder will not be tired to death? You should not have seen this matter, let him kneel well!"
The little guy who came to pass the word didn't expect her to say such a thing. But seeing that Mrs. Cui looked calm, not like she was angry, he quickly bowed his head and retreated.
After the person left, Zheng also shook his head and whispered: "This Imperial Doctor, I used to think he was fine, and he was quite respectful to the nobles. It's just that since climbing up to Concubine Wu Hui, this temperament has become more and more arrogant. Until now, he has refused to beg for help, kneeling in front of our house like this, do you think that we will invite Concubine Wu Hui in the face of Concubine Wu Hui? What does he think of our Cui family's courtyard?"
"He just wants to use Concubine Wu Hui to press us!" Mrs. Cui sneered, "It's a pity that our family is indeed a family that wants to be faced." It's just that this face was earned by himself, not given by others for nothing! Even if he knelt and died at the door of our house, it was he who brought it on himself, and we didn't force him! In the end, it was he who lost the most face, not us. β
"Auntie is right. This matter was originally a little fight between the juniors, so let the juniors solve it privately. Now that Imperial Doctor Fang is going to find his uncle, he is going to raise the matter between the two clans, and the pattern of their Fang family is inevitably too small. Isn't it just a few pills, why just let him be forced to work hard like this?"
"It is said that loving mothers are many losers. Now the Fang family is not only a mother, but a father is even more kind, can they not teach a useless son? From beginning to end, it was their son who did something wrong, and their son was beaten, but in the end it was his old father who came forward. If it were me, I would rather hang myself with a rope than tear my face for such a son!" Mrs. Cui sighed, "It's a pity that their family is still shallow after all, and they don't understand this truth at all." β
"It's okay if they don't understand now, wait a few more years, and they will understand. It's a pity that it will be difficult to regret it when the time comes. Zheng said, "So, don't let Liulang know about this matter?"
"What do they know?" Imperial Doctor Fang came to the door, did he mention a word about them? He didn't say anything, just knelt down at the gate, who knows what he was here for?" Mrs. Cui said coldly.
Zheng's jaw head. "The daughter-in-law understood. He really didn't call anyone to inform Mu Jiaojiao and his wife about the matter.
In fact, even if she didn't say it, how could Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu not know? It's just that the Fang family hasn't made trouble for a long time, and the others are naturally happy to watch the excitement, and they only spread some rumors in private.
Today, Doctor Fang took the initiative to come to the door, and his whereabouts were so obvious that everyone quickly found out. Cui Pu was originally a person who couldn't bear loneliness, and a group of people under his Xiao Si'er were even more alive and well, and they were all over the house when they were idle, so not long after Doctor Fang knelt down, the first-hand news had already been sent to Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao's ears.
After Cui Pu heard this, he also sneered in the same way as Mrs. Cui: "No wonder this Imperial Doctor can be appreciated by Concubine Wu Hui, he is really good at pretending to be stupid." But who is too smart, who doesn't like to have more fools around her for her amusement? Now he knelt down like this, although he didn't say anything, but everyone knew it. In this way, he can save a lot of face, and in one fell swoop, he can also take the course of things a big step forward. β
"He's going to be stupid, won't my aunt and uncle pretend to be crazy and stupid?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, "Let's just wait and see! β
"Of course I knew it wouldn't be that easy. It's just that what this person does really makes me sick. At first, it was a trap and abduction, but now it is forced step by step. Anyway, he just refuses to honestly bow his head and admit his mistake! Could it be that he thinks that admitting his mistake means that their Baicao Hall is not as good as ours, lest we rob their Baicao Hall of the imperial medicinal materials in the future? I don't care about that kind of false name at all!" Cui Pu said angrily.
Mu Jiaojiao shook her head weakly: "His arsenic, my honey." What you don't look down on, maybe it's the treasure in someone else's heart! His vision is there, and he can't pay attention to your thoughts at all. Why would you be angry with someone who is not on the same level as you at all?"
Hearing her words, Cui Pu's chest suddenly brightened. "You're talking about, why am I angry with him? We're not on the same level at all!"
After that, he looked at Mu Jiaojiao again: "You say, why do you always speak to other people's hearts every time you open your mouth? Could it be that you can really read other people's hearts?"
"If I were really so powerful, I would have captured you a long time ago, and I would have let you fight for your life under my hands?" Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him maliciously.
Cui Pu immediately pouted. "Forget it, I won't talk to you!" this woman can always gag his mouth in a few words. Especially like this just now, when I talked to other little ladies before, I looked at the extremely shy little appearance of the little ladies, and I felt very happy. But now, when it was his turn to be said so by a little lady, the feeling in his heart was ...... It's a mixed bag.
Butβafter thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask again: "Have you made all those medicines?"
"It's done. When you want to take it out, just ask someone to come to me and get it. Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.
Look, not only does she have a sharp mouth, but she is also very fast with her hands and feet. No matter what you ask her, she will always give you an affirmative answer. This makes people can't even grab her handle!
When will she be able to get him to grab her by the handle and laugh at her?
Cui Pu sighed helplessly. "Oh, I see. β
In this way, Imperial Physician Fang knelt at the gate of Cui's Mansion for a whole afternoon, until Elder Cui Ge came back from outside and saw him kneeling outside, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.
At this time, Imperial Physician Fang was already kneeling and his legs were numb and covered with cold sweat.
After being carried in by two family members, his legs still couldn't move at all, and it was itchy and numb when he touched it casually, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Elder Cui Ge looked concerned: "Doctor Fang, do you want to do it, otherwise, I'll call someone to ask a doctor to come and show you?"
"No, no, no, Fang is a doctor himself, what other doctor do I need to invite? I just knelt for too long, and my legs and feet are sore. Just sit down for a while and wait for this soreness to pass. Doctor Fang hurriedly smiled.
In fact, he has a way to relieve such sour hemp, but he has no intention of doing it. After all, since he has been pretending to be pitiful all afternoon, it is easy to wait for the person who can be the main man in the Cui family to come back, and he naturally has to make persistent efforts to pretend. Otherwise, wouldn't all the hardships he had suffered before be in vain?
Hearing him say this, Elder Cui Ge didn't force it anymore, but only sighed: "Doctor Fang, how can you be so real? Since my wife has already told you at the beginning that I am not in the house, please come back another day, why do you have to wait outside? That is, you have to wait for me to come back, you can just wait in the car, why do you have to kneel? Aren't you tormenting the old man?"
It seems like I'm quite ashamed to hear you say it, but the expression on his face is not like that at all! You obviously deliberately returned late, right? Imperial Doctor Fang said secretly in his heart.
Indeed, he deliberately picked the day when Cui Ge Lao was not there. It's just that he had already secretly called someone to inquire, and knew that Cui Ge Lao was going out today to gather with Zhongshuling and others to discuss things. If nothing else, you will be able to return around the time of Shen. That's why he came over about an hour early, thinking that kneeling for an hour was not too difficult, but it was enough to show sincerity. But he never thought that Cui Ge Lao would drag on for more than an hour before returning. By now, it was already dark outside, and he was almost unconscious on his knees!
If they didn't join forces to suppress him, he wouldn't believe it!
It's just that now he has a request for others, and no matter how much dissatisfaction he has in his heart, he has to suppress it.
So, he quietly pinched the back of his waist, and tears suddenly rolled out of his eyes: "Elder Cui Ge, Xia Guan knows that it is indeed inappropriate to come here today, but Xia Guan really can't do it! Xia Guan's son, now he has a high fever, and no matter how much medicine he uses, it is useless, only the Mu Clan's Baicao Hall replied that they have a medicine that must be effective, but this medicine can only be made by the sixth young lady in your house." But the sixth young lady said that she was not feeling well, and she couldn't do it now, and she had to wait for a few days to rest. But now that people's lives are at stake, why should they wait? Xiaguan is so tormented in his heart that he has no choice but to come and beg Elder Cui Ge for your help to intercede with the Sixth Young Lady, and beg her to make the medicine quickly! Otherwise, she told Xiaguan that the medicinal materials would be fine, and Xiaguan would be able to go back and make them himself! Xiao'er really couldn't afford to delay it!"
Elder Cui Ge couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
Did you, the imperial doctor, come to the door to ask for help or to complain? If you sue my daughter-in-law in front of me, who is an uncle, you really have you!
Moreover, either forcing people to hurry up with medicine, or asking others for prescriptions, is this your attitude of begging people? No wonder Cui Pu kept them away, and no wonder Mrs. Cui let him kneel outside. This person is really relying on Concubine Wu Hui's momentum, and he doesn't know how to score inches anymore!
Cui Ge said: "So that's the case? Human life is at stake, and it really can't be delayed, so I'll ask someone to urge her." So he called a servant to pass the word.
The little guy soon returned. "Back to the old man, the little one didn't see the sixth young lady. The sixth young lady said that she was not feeling well today and had fallen asleep. β
