National color medical concubine

Chapter 7
Xie Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when the carriage drove out of the palace gate.

Wei Ruxue put down the curtain, her pale complexion gradually returned to normal.Seeing Xie Qiao drink a full cup of tea, he secretly hated this little bitch for his life.His eyes flickered slightly, and he always said softly: "You are really reckless. Fortunately, King Xie is here, and the emperor is so worried about the Queen Mother's illness that he didn't send you off." Then he sighed: "You can't blame me for not giving it to you." You beg for mercy, you also know that I am now a guilty body, if I plead for you, it will only hurt you. If you simply plead guilty and receive punishment, you will be lucky enough to escape."

Xie Qiao sneered in his heart when he heard her high-sounding speech.

How could she be so kind?
Seeing her calm expression, Wei Ruxue secretly gritted her teeth.On the face, she was delicate and uneasy, and asked anxiously: "You...you won't blame me for this, will you?"

"parking!"

Xie Qiao suddenly spoke up and said to her: "Our business has been completed, and Miss Wei will settle the money, so there is nothing else to do."

Wei Ruxue is a smart person, if she understands that Xie Qiao is agreeing, she will rot the matter to her stomach.

Rather straightforwardly, she ordered Xuemei to give the banknote to Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao took the bank note and left.

Looking at her thin figure, Wei Ruxue still felt uneasy.He winked at Xuemei, since he couldn't kill her, he had to make her unable to gain a foothold in the capital.

……

Xie Qiao took the 20 taels silver note from Wei Ruxue and planned to rent a small shop to open a medical clinic.Every time a deal is made, it doesn't take long for the shop owner to go back on his word.

After thinking about it for a while, her mind became clear.

Wei Ruxue is not going to let her go!
Looking at the simple pavement in front of her, there are two floors in total, although it is not big, it is also very suitable for her.The lower part is used for medical consultation and the upper part is used for accommodation. The location is not too remote, and the rent is cost-effective.Unavoidable that the boss regretted it again, Xie Qiao immediately paid off the whole year's rent, a total of 24 taels of silver.

Xie Qiao still had two taels left in his hand, and the extra few taels were the default money given by the owner of the leasing shop.

After spending a few days cleaning up the shop, Xie Qiao allocated a tael of silver to buy some commonly used medicinal materials.During the day, he walks the streets and alleys to promote bell medicine, and at night, he smears and goes out of the city to collect medicine in the mountains.

Half a month passed in such a tight schedule, and a firecracker was set off on an auspicious day, which was regarded as the opening of the business.

For several days, Xieqiao's place was so deserted that no one came to see a doctor.After all, one or two people came, and when they saw that she was a woman, they turned around and left.

On this day, Xie Qiao opened the door as usual, looking at the medical clinic not far away, but the business behind her was booming.Can't help but sigh: It's no way to go on like this, if there is no income, she will have to sit and eat!

"Help—help—doctor, please do me a favor and show my grandson, what's wrong with him?" An old woman hugged a skinny little boy with a sallow complexion. He ran in, knelt at Xie Qiao's feet and kowtowed: "I beg the doctor to save my grandson, save him..."

Xie Qiao looked at the old woman in patched clothes, with silver-white hair and a vicissitudes of life, and knew that she must not be able to afford the consultation fee elsewhere.Her grandson was indeed seriously ill, so he came to his clinic.

"Put him on the bamboo couch quickly." Xie Qiao calmed down, it was always a good thing if someone came to the door.After healed, he could gain a little reputation.

"Oh." The old woman quickly put the boy on the couch.

Xie Qiao looked at the little boy in front of him who was so uncomfortable that he groaned slightly, he was so thin that he was out of shape.After taking the pulse, he touched the little boy's abdomen. The abdomen was distended and his body exuded a sour and stench, which seemed to be a symptom of dysentery.And due to long-term malnutrition, Shicai was so severely weak.

"Doctor, my grandson's illness can be cured?" The old woman looked at Xie Qiao in thought, and said anxiously.

Xie Qiao said: "It can be cured." Instead, he wrote a prescription, grabbed some medicines and handed them to the old woman: "For the time being, take three doses in a row. After stopping vomiting and diarrhea, come to me to get another medicine. And give him food supplements." , which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.”

The old woman was very excited when she heard that the symptoms Xie Qiao had said matched all of them.Suddenly, his complexion changed slightly.Holding the medicine at a loss, she said embarrassingly, "I...I don't have any money to pay for the consultation fee, so I really have to ask the doctor to treat him. I...I..." The old lady couldn't say anything about the credit.

Xie Qiao had already expected it, waved his hands and said, "Help is the most important thing, you owe it first."

The old woman was so grateful that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Qiao a few times: "Your great kindness, the old woman will always remember it in her heart."

Xie Qiao sent the man away, heaving a sigh of relief.Looking at the simple medicine cabinet, I felt a little depressed.Tonight, it seems that I have to go out of the city to collect medicine again.

Sunset West Mountain.

After hastily eating the pickles with a steamed bun, Xie Qiao planned to go out with a small hoe and a bamboo basket on his back.

Two figures barged in, and one of them said to Xie Qiao, "What are you doing, come here!"

Xie Qiao was startled, looked at a tall figure, and helped another person to sit down.Stared back by the man, Xie Qiao came to his senses, put down the bamboo basket quickly, lit a candle and came.A strong smell of blood came to his nostrils, and Xie Qiao saw that his chest was full of blood.

He tore open his robe neatly, revealing the hideous wound on his chest, from the left chest to the right waist, the flesh turned out.

Xie Qiao ordered the tall man to fetch water, clean the wound, apply a secret wound medicine and bandage him up.Only then did he stand up and wash his hands and said, "I don't have all the medicinal materials here, so I'll prescribe a prescription for you to buy medicine elsewhere."

There was no response from behind.

Xie Qiao wrote the prescription by himself and handed it to the tall man, only to realize that the injured old man was staring at her face.

Under her gaze, the old man didn't look away, instead, his eyes fell on a red mole on her palm, and his eyes gradually became darker.Putting on her robes, she said kindly, "Young lady is from the capital?"

"No." Xie Qiao glanced at the old man, who was about five or sixty years old, with gray hair, but hale and hearty.

She does not know.

"Why do your parents agree with you, a woman, to open a clinic?" the old man continued to ask.

"Parents have passed away long ago." Xie Qiao only thought he was cautious before questioning her about her background.Judging from their attire, they must be of noble status. I'm afraid they don't want to let it out when they come to her small clinic for treatment.

The old man's eyes changed slightly, and he stopped asking.He motioned to the tall man to help him up, paid the consultation fee and left.

"Master Guo, are you going back to the mansion?" Rong San was suspicious of Duke Fu's anomaly, but he didn't ask much.

Duke Fu looked back at the small clinic, nodded, "Don't reveal what happened today." After a pause, he urged: "Especially the old lady."

Rong San nodded yes.

But Xie Qiao didn't hear what the master and servant said, looking at the ten taels of silver ingots on the table, he sighed in his heart that the dignitaries in the capital were so generous.

With this money, Xie Qiao rested his thoughts of going up the mountain to collect herbs, and Xie Qiao re-transcribed the manuscript according to his memory.

"Bang bang bang-"

Xie Qiao just closed his eyes and fell asleep when the door panel was smashed.

"It's fatal! This quack doctor is dead!" A big man hugged the skinny little boy and kicked the door panel angrily: "Yesterday my mother brought the child to see a doctor, who would have thought that after taking her medicine , the person who was still alive yesterday died early this morning... My son! Father will definitely seek justice for you!"
