Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 435 Wrong person

Doctor Hu picked up the rag beside him and wiped his hands, "You don't have money to buy things yourself?"

"I had some savings, but I didn't need them a few days ago, so now I'm really gone." Meng Changqing told Doctor Hu half the truth, "This is a good thing. Although it can't be bought and sold now, maybe it can be bought and sold in a few decades."

Doctor Hu glanced at her and said, "In a few decades, you prepared this cup for my next life. I may not be able to find it in my next life."

"Look at what you said." Meng Changqing said, "If you keep it now, your grandchildren can use it to make a fortune decades later. It's a good deal.

You have helped me so much, I have to show my gratitude no matter what."

Doctor Hu laughed after hearing this. "I can't care about that. They have their own destiny. If you really want to help me but are really short of money, why don't you write me an IOU and pay it back when you have money? It won't mean you will be penniless before I die, right?"

"How can that be possible?" Meng Changqing was so happy when he heard that he was willing to take an IOU. It was such a good deal to be able to make someone happy with just a few words on a piece of paper!
She doesn't have many good things left in her collection, and she has to prepare for giving gifts, cheating people, and gaining sympathy in the future, so she should use them as little as possible.

Meng Changqing took the newly written IOU, blew away the ink, and handed it to Doctor Hu with both hands.

Doctor Hu took one look and snorted, "You are so generous that I don't ask you to pay cash. You didn't intend to give me one thousand taels, did you?"

Just as Meng Changqing was about to explain, he heard Hu Xiaohua say calmly, "Dad, that's enough."

Doctor Hu stroked his beard and stopped talking.

Just at this time, Doctor Hu's wife came out from the inner gate. She probably heard most of their previous conversation. Then Hu Xiaohua said, "The clan mansion has given you many gifts as a thank you. Why do you have to embarrass Changqing again?"

"Madam." Meng Changqing saluted her.

Li Qulian returned the greeting, "Master Meng."

"The clan government has given him a lot of money, far more than the cost of his consultation this time." She returned the IOU in Doctor Hu's hand to Meng Changqing, "You don't have to worry about him anymore."

Meng Changqing smiled and said, "I listen to my wife." Doctor Hu was not convinced and was blocked by Li Qulian behind him and wanted to say a few more words, "You listen to whoever gives you the advantage."

Li Qulian secretly stepped on him.

"Changqing is busy with official duties. Don't waste his time. Let's get down to business."

Doctor Hu cleared his throat and said, "The old lady of the Zong family asked me to bring someone here. She said you know who it is. You asked her to go to Beishan County to find you."

After going around in circles, the topic finally came to the woman next to him.

The woman kept looking at Meng Changqing with anxiety and fear in her eyes.

"I only know the identity of that lady, but I don't know her very well." Meng Changqing turned his head to meet the woman's gaze, "I guess this lady is..."

Before Meng Changqing finished speaking, the woman bowed and said, "Master Meng, your servant Xiaojun has accompanied my young lady to Beishan County to study."

Meng Changqing smiled at her. He didn't expect that he would mistake someone for someone else. "Miss Xiaojun, where is your young lady now?"

"The young lady is suffering from acclimatization problems and is taking medicine and resting in the back room," said Xiaojun.

Meng Changqing had some doubts in her mind. Since her young lady was not feeling well, why didn't she stay by her side but stood here instead? Then she thought that the Mo family had been officials for generations. Although they were not in high positions, they had far more rules than a family like the Meng family who had not accumulated much. Presumably, the young lady must have more than one maidservant around her.

Meng Changqing was just about to say that he would take Miss Mo to Beishan County after she recovered, when he heard Doctor Li say, "I was about to say that Miss Mo has woken up, so Miss Xiaojun should go in and keep her company."

When Xiaojun heard this, he immediately ran to the back room.

Li Qulian said to Meng Changqing, "The lady's condition is not serious. She just needs to pay attention to what she eats and rest for a few days and she will be fine. I originally wanted her to stay in the pharmacy for a few more days, but she insisted on going to Beishan County right away.

Since you are here, just take the person back."
