Chapter 28
Chapter 28 The Imperial Doctor Visits His Parents
For more than ten days, Xie Hong's life was very comfortable.
When I get home, I can eat the delicious food made by Xiao Qing'er. I can still tease the little girl when there is no one. Xie Hong thinks Qing'er's shy and timid look is so cute.
After dinner, and Erniu, the three of them were enjoying the cool air in the yard. Xie Hong told the two of them all kinds of stories, and listened to Qing'er's singing from time to time. Such a day was really wonderful.
I don’t know if I received the news that Xie Hong had sued me, and the Chen family did not repeat any recurrence. The day after giving in, they began to apologize from house to house and compensate them one by one.
After that, Chen Dianshi kept recuperating at home, saying that he was recuperating. Xie Hong felt that Mr. Chen should be worried, so he closed his home to teach his children. After all, after this incident, the Chen family was also considered a trauma, and it must have been learned a lesson.
The news about the small county town spread rapidly, and the people who received compensation quickly knew who the happiness came from the sky was because of. Everyone was grateful to Xie Hong. The result was that in the first few days, Xie Hong would be watched by many people no matter where he went. Xie Hong felt like he had become a celebrity idol in later generations, and his popularity was ridiculously high.
After more than ten days, the enthusiasm of the neighbors subsided, and Xie Hong also learned the origin of the statement that the Star Lord descended to earth.
It turned out that there was a fortune teller named Chen Guanyu in the county. He said that statement first. People in this era believed this. In addition, Xie Hong's magical performances spread several times in a row.
Mr. Chen, the initiator, also got benefits. According to him, his inheritance is the Ziwei technique inherited from ancient times, which is very accurate to look at people's future and wealth. When he first met Xie Hong, he had already seen Xie Hong's extraordinaryness.
He also said that Xie Hong's fate was the Wenquxing from heaven and specializes in assisting the emperors on earth, so Xie Hong was unparalleled in his tongue and could also make calculations and know the details.
The most amazing thing is that Xie Hong has a strong and righteous spirit, so he can use his momentum to conquer others. He is the reincarnation of an ancient sage and only a few thousand years later. Sooner or later, he will be on the list.
As for other statements such as the birth of a great sage and prosperity in the local area, there are countless sayings. Even Xie Hong couldn't help but be amazed when he heard it. He thought that Mr. Chen was really fooling and could write fantasy novels in later generations. If he had to take the exam by himself, let alone the top scholar, he would not be able to pass the exam even if he was the current scholar.
Mr. Chen's tricks, in addition to adding some onlookers to Xie Hong, he of course became more popular in his fortune-telling stall. Originally, there were many people worshiping Buddha in Beizhuang County, and there was a Buddhist temple in the south of the city. After his operation, Mr. Chen actually reversed the beliefs of the local people. More people did not burn incense and went to his place to ask for divination and asked for trouble.
Xie Hong couldn't help but sigh for Mr. Chen. If this man was born in the Jiajing Dynasty and met the emperor who liked gods, he would have become prosperous. No matter what era, talents were buried among the people.
Of course, Xie Hong was not without worries. He had been excited to open a store before, but after inspecting the market, he found that this small county town had no market at all. Although there were several large households in the county, more residents were just ordinary people.
If these people are not sick or disaster-free, they are ordinary people, and their families will have some surplus every year. If they are like the Xie family before, they will become extremely poor. If they expect these people to buy handicrafts, Xie Hong felt that he had indeed misconsidered before. If he wanted to open a store, he had to go to the big city. If he didn't go to the capital, he had to go to Xuanfu nearby.
This matter is not troublesome, and what makes him even more trouble is his mother's illness. The disease has been lingering for several months, but it is not a solution to keep going like this. Ma Wentao went to Xuanfu to hire a doctor. He went there for more than ten days without any news. Xie Hong was also worried about it very much.
Two doctors from the county came many times, and each time they received a lot of medical expenses, but they didn't improve, which made Xie Hong very upset. Whether he was going to Xuanfu or to the capital, he had to take his mother and Qing'er, but when his mother was so sick, he would definitely not be able to travel a long distance. If he could not cure her mother's illness, Xie Hong could only stay in this small county town helplessly.
On that day, Xie Hongru entered the county yard as usual. He had something to do and his face was naturally not very good. As he walked to the yamen office, he saw Xie Hong's yamen runners, and the clerks were all silent. Although Xie Hong was not arrogant and kind in daily life, the clerks were still afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.
On that day, Xie Hong was talking to Fu Bantou, which had passed through the mouths of the yamen runners and spread throughout the county yamen. Everyone knew that this young chief clerk was cruel and ruthless when he turned against him, and no one wanted to be the next unlucky one.
Not to mention Chen Dianshi, who is still recovering from his injuries at home, even Master Lu, who has nostrils facing the sky, is not the same, and Master Xie is still incompatible, so he left the old man there.
Otherwise, it is said that Xie Zhubu came to earth because of Xing Constellation. Those who offend Xingjun will definitely not have a good end and will not be able to mess with him.
Xie Hong had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of these clerks. He frowned and walked to the yamen office, and found that Fang Jin was not waiting at the door as usual.
"Someone is here?" Xie Hong was surprised. He didn't like Fang Jin waiting at the door every day. After all, the other party was very old, and Xie Hong himself was not used to being treated particularly respectfully. However, after saying this a few times, Fang Jin insisted, but later Xie Hong did not persuade him anymore, just pretending to be following the local customs.
If Fang Jin is not here, there is probably only one situation, that is, who will be someone in the yamen? Xie Hong pushed the door and entered the house in confusion.
"I've seen Lord Xie."
"Brother Xie... Lord." Fang Jin was still respectful as usual, causing the other person to change his mouth halfway.
When Xie Hong saw the man, he was overjoyed, walked a few steps forward, and supported the man, saying, "Brother Ma, you are back, you have worked hard all the way."
After hearing what Xie Hong called him, Ma Wentao felt a little warm. He rushed back overnight and waited in the county government early. He was also thinking about it, for fear that after Xie Hong would suddenly become successful, he would act like an official. He had seen and heard of such a person before.
Seeing that Xie Hong was obviously very anxious, he greeted him for his hard work first. Ma Wentao felt even more moved. He felt that Brother Xie did not forget his roots and it was not in vain for his hard work. It was just this job...
Ma Wentao's face turned red and he claimed the crime, "Brother, you call me "Brother", but I feel really guilty. Nothing happened."
Xie Hong felt nervous when he heard this, but he had always been calm and did not rush to ask questions, just waiting for Ma Wentao to continue to explain.
Ma Wentao continued: "I went to Xuanfu and went to find the famous doctor, but I didn't expect that the doctor was gone. I asked around and found out that the news spread in Beizhuang was a long time ago. The famous doctor was summoned into the palace a few years ago and became an imperial doctor."
Imperial Doctor? Xie Hong was disappointed and asked the Imperial Doctor to come to a small county in the border area for treatment. He didn't even think about it. This was no longer a matter of difficulty, but it was impossible!
"What about the other doctors?" Xie Hong asked again with a glimmer of hope.
"The medical skills of other doctors in Xuanfu are normal. I asked many people, and they all had the same statement. I went to several places and visited Baoanzhou, but I didn't hear of any famous doctors." Ma Wentao looked embarrassed and looked very ashamed.
Xie Hong also sighed, thinking that if you can't rely on the doctor, you can only buy more supplements. Seeing Ma Wentao's depressed look, Xie Hong also comforted him: "Brother Ma, you don't have to worry. You must not blame you for this. You have worked hard for a lot of things. Go and have a good rest."
Seeing Xie Hong understands him so considerately, Ma Wentao felt ashamed and grateful. With his usual clever mouth, he didn't know what to say to express his feelings.
"Brother Ma, is the famous doctor in Xuanfu you mentioned the surname Gu?"
At this time, Fang Jin suddenly asked. This man was used to being careful and had no sense of existence. When Xie Hong saw Ma Wentao, he was anxious to ask, but forgot about him for a moment, but he suddenly asked in a daze.
"It's the surname Gu." Ma Wentao replied casually in annoyance.
"Sir, this imperial physician's subordinate knows a little, and it's not impossible to find him to treat the disease." Fang Jin still looked hunched and cautious, and he whispered lightly.
But these words suddenly dispelled the dark clouds in Xie Hong's heart. Xie Hong was overjoyed, turned around and grabbed Fang Jin's shoulder with both hands, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Fang, do you know? Then tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
Fang Jin was really surprised. Since he had contacted Xie Hong in the yamen, Xie Hong has always been calm. Even when he confronted Chen Dianshi in the shop, Xie Hong was clearly organized and behaved like a mountain of Tai, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly look so anxious today.
When he thought about it, Fang Jin was relieved. It turned out that Master Xie was also a human being, and he was just a young man. Moreover, it was said that Master Xie was very filial to his mother. Today, it seems that this rumor is true.
He was grabbed by Xie Hong and could not bend his body, so he had to owl slightly and said, "Sir, that doctor Gu came from the local Gu family, who was originally from Beizhuang. Later, he learned his skills outside and became famous, and then he went to Xuanfu after he went to Xuanfu, but that was something that happened more than ten years ago."
"Doctor Gu, now he should be called Lord Gu. Some people in Beizhuang County know about Lord Gu being recruited by the Imperial Hospital, but it has not been spread to the people. Many people in the yamen know about it. If the Lord wants to find him, there will be a chance in front of him. I heard that Lord Gu is about to return to his hometown to visit his relatives soon."
Xie Hong also noticed his incompetence and hurriedly let go and said apologetically: "Xie was concerned about his mother's illness and was incompetence for a while, which made Mr. Fang laugh. Mr. Fang, which date is the exact date for Dr. Gu's return home?"
Fang Jin smiled and said indifferently, saying, "The adults are pure filial piety, and I am deeply admired. I am the imperial doctor who returned home to visit my relatives, and the Gu family submitted a letter to the county magistrate. I think the news will not be wrong. But this is the exact time, but I don't know about it. However, what I see in the humble position, I should be waiting for you in the near future."
Xie Hong let out a long sigh, his mother's illness was always heavily pressing on his heart. When he heard the news about Doctor Gu, he finally saw hope.
