Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 404: Bring it to the table*
"Okay." Meng Changqing said nothing. She knew that this was Doctor Hu's opportunity to teach her.

When I entered the room, I saw Doctor Hu lying upright on the footstool. The servant beside him kept persuading him, "You should lie on the soft couch."

"No, it's too soft." Doctor Hu was very stubborn.

Finally, Meng Changqing came in. He was willing to get up and go to the side to direct Meng Changqing to give a massage to the elder of the clan.

During this time, Zong Ruwen kept asking, "What are you talking about outside?"

Meng Changqing only said vaguely: "Master Zong is worried about your condition."

"that is it?"

Doctor Hu's massage method might really be useful, or maybe he had to wake up because so many people were bothering him. In short, Elder Zong seemed to be in better spirits than before. He pointed at Zong Shouqing and said, "I see that you have been getting more and more worried recently."

"Don't talk." Doctor Hu became impatient. "Why do you keep talking while you're treating a patient?"

Everyone could only shut up.

The massage lasted nearly half an hour before it was over. Meng Changqing was sweating all over, and the elder of the clan felt sleepy again.

Meng Changqing stepped aside, told him to have a good rest and said he would come back to see him tomorrow.

Zong Ruwen followed Meng Changqing's gaze and wanted to say something, but he was exhausted and could only say, "I have something to tell you tomorrow."

"I'll come early tomorrow morning."

Everyone left Zong Ruwen's room.

Zong Shouqing said: "It is really my fault for being so rude. I didn't even ask about tea or food, but just dragged you to your father's room.

I have asked someone to prepare dinner, Changqing, you must eat here so that I can apologize."

Meng Changqing said with a smile: "Lord Zong is polite, so we won't be polite." Just as they walked into the dining room, Bafang also came back.

Seeing several people sitting down and preparing to eat, he tugged at his backpack and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Banfang, you should sit down too." Zong Shouqing called him.

Bafang was about to sit next to Xi Bei when he saw Doctor Hu holding out his hand to him, "Where's the money?"

"Here you go." Bafang walked around behind Doctor Hu and gave him the silver and the small bag.

Doctor Hu weighed it and nodded, "It's not too bad this time."

How could Zong Shouqing not know what they were talking about?
In fact, when Bafang came in, Zong Shouqing noticed that he looked unnatural, and then he looked at the outline of the small package and knew that it was the medical fee that Meng Changqing gave to Doctor Hu.

In fact, not long after Meng Changqing and others entered the door, when Zong Shouqing ordered people to prepare dinner, he also asked people to prepare the medical fee.

For people like them, money matters are generally not discussed openly. When treating a doctor, the consultation fee is usually paid upon leaving the patient. Of course, they will not ask the doctor how much, and usually they will take an integer that is much higher than the general consultation fee.

It was obvious that Dr. Hu was different from the doctors his family had seen before.

In that case, Zong Shouqing asked his followers to bring over several silver bills that had been prepared.

While inviting everyone to dinner, he handed the silver bill to Doctor Hu.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Hu was polite. He looked at the five 100-liang silver notes in front of him and did not accept them quickly. Instead, he said, "I didn't play any role. Is it inappropriate to accept your money?"

"It's appropriate." Zong Shouqing said, "If you hadn't come to see me, I would always feel uneasy. With your words here, I can feel at ease."

Doctor Hu just said a polite word, and upon hearing what Zong Shouqing said, he immediately folded it and stuffed it into his arms.

After dinner, as the night grew darker, Meng Changqing and his companions did not return home, but went to the inn they had booked earlier to rest.
