After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Three days later, it was the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year's Day.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was slammed loudly.

"Bang bang bang!"

"anyone there?"

The doorman rubbed his eyes and ran to open the door.

"I'm coming!"

"Who is it this early in the morning?"

When I opened the door, I saw an old man and a young boy standing outside.

The younger one looked to be about seven or eight years old, with a childish face and a pair of big eyes, which made him look very cute.

The older man looked to be about sixty years old. He was not tall, with white hair and beard, but he was in good spirits and was holding a wooden stick in his hand as a cane.

Seeing that the two men were dressed in rags and their shoes were covered with dirt and dead leaves, the doorman thought they were beggars.

Without asking any questions, he turned around and went back to get a few copper coins.

Occasionally beggars would come to the door to beg, and the doorman was used to it.

But this is the first time that someone came to my door so early in the morning and banged on it.

The doorman brought a handful of copper coins, stuffed them into the child's hand without saying a word, and was about to close the door.

"Hey--"

The child quickly reached out to stop him and stuffed the coin back into the doorman's hand.

"We are not beggars. We are here to find the third young master of the mansion, Jiang Ci Jin." the child explained.

As he spoke, he handed the doorman a jade pendant.

"Please give this jade pendant to the Third Young Master. He will understand it when he sees it."

The doorman took the jade pendant and took a closer look. It was indeed the one that the third young master usually wore.

It turned out to be the Third Young Master’s guest.

The concierge immediately became respectful.

"Wait a moment, both of you. I will go and invite the Third Young Master."

After saying that, he hurried to the backyard.

"Third Young Master, the doorman came to report that someone is looking for you at the door." The servant knocked on the door and said.

Jiang Ci Jin was very impatient after being woken up early in the morning.

"If you have anything to say, just wait until I wake up and tell me!" Jiang Ci Jin turned over.

"The concierge brought a jade pendant and said you would know after you take a look at it."

Jade?

"Bring it in." Jiang Ci Jin stood up.

When Jiang Ci Jin saw the jade pendant on his hand, he was startled and all his sleepiness disappeared.

"You're here so soon?!"

Jiang Ci Jin quickly invited the person in.

Jiang Ci Jin was extremely excited when he saw the master and his disciple sitting in the reception room.

"Doctor Liu, Kawatani, why are you here so soon?"

Doctor Liu snorted coldly, "Why, you brat don't welcome us?"

"How could that be possible? I'm looking forward to your coming!" Jiang Ci Jin said with a grin.

"My master and I originally planned to go to Beijing after the New Year, but we didn't find the medicinal herbs that the master wanted in Qingze County, so we came here early."

Kawatani's tone was childish, but his speech was very serious.

Jiang Ci Jin couldn't help but pinch his face.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

"So you didn't see the people I sent?"

Judging from the time, his people should have just arrived in Qingze County.

"Brother Jin sent people to look for us?" After saving his face from Jiang Ci Jin's hands, Chuan Gu asked.

Jiang Ci Jin nodded.

But the situation is better now. Doctor Liu came to Beijing early and can treat Zhang Huaiyun's leg as soon as possible.

Jiang Ci Jin told Doctor Liu about Zhang Huaiyun's condition in just a few words.

Doctor Liu's eyes were bright. When he heard that there was a seriously ill patient in the mansion, he urged Jiang Ci Jin to take him to see him.

Before they even walked out of the door, Duke Jiang and Madam Jiang, who had heard the news, hurried over.

"Jin'er, who is this?" Mrs. Jiang looked at the old man and the young man in front of her.

"Mom, this is the skilled doctor Liu I mentioned before."

Hearing Jiang Ci Jin praising his medical skills, Doctor Liu glanced at him.

"I am not worthy of your medical skills. I am Liu Hua, honored to meet the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife."

Kawatani also followed suit and saluted.

Duke Jiang quickly helped the man up and said, "Doctor Liu, you are too polite. The Duke Zhenguo Mansion invited you here. Thank you for your concern."

"If you need anything, just let me know. The Duke of Zhenguo will spare no effort to help."

Doctor Liu nodded, without further ado, and followed Jiang Ci Jin to the guest room.

When Doctor Liu saw the wound on Zhang Huaiyun’s leg, the corner of his mouth twitched.

That's it?

He thought it was serious.

Seeing that Doctor Liu looked gloomy, Duke Jiang thought the condition was very serious.

"Doctor Liu, but...what's the difficulty?"

Doctor Liu didn't say anything.

Kawatani on the side laughed and said, "Master thinks the condition is too simple!"

"Ah?" The Jiang family and Zhang Huaiyun were shocked.

"You're the only one who talks too much." Doctor Liu glared at Chuan Gu, who stuck out his tongue.

"The wound is a bit serious, but it is not incurable." Doctor Liu said, "First, give him acupuncture for three days to see how his muscles and bones recover. If he recovers well, apply medicine for another seven days. After seven days, he will be able to walk."

"It's just that the wound is quite deep, and I need to rest for a month before I can recover and be as good as before."

A doctor has a kind heart. Even if he thinks the disease is not a difficult one, he will treat it with all his heart.

Doctor Liu spoke implicitly, but everyone present understood that the leg could be cured.

Zhang Huaiyun was so excited that he was speechless.

His leg, his leg can heal!

It only takes a month of rest and it won’t delay next year’s scientific expedition.

Zhang Huaiyun held Doctor Liu's hand tightly and choked up, "Doctor Liu, thank you!"

Doctor Liu waved his hand indifferently and said to Duke Jiang, "I'm sorry to bother you these past few days."

"Of course not." Duke Jiang was also very excited. "You can stay in the mansion as long as you want."

Everyone present was very happy. The stone that had been weighing on their hearts for the past few days had finally fallen to the ground.

"Gulu."

Suddenly, a stomach growl was heard in the house.

Kawatani touched his belly somewhat embarrassedly.

The Jiang family and Zhang Huaiyun all laughed and felt completely relaxed.

Mrs. Jiang reached out and took Chuan Gu's hand.

"Come on, auntie will take you to have breakfast."

When Jiang Ruoli heard that the doctor Jiang Cijin had invited had arrived, she also went to the dining hall early.

Although it is not appropriate for an unmarried woman to meet a man other than a man, since the master and disciple are one older and the other younger, there is no need to be so cautious.

Doctor Liu was stunned when he saw Jiang Ruoli's face.

Noticing Doctor Liu's gaze, Duke Jiang smiled and said, "Doctor Liu, this is my daughter Jiang Ruoli."

Doctor Liu looked at Jiang Ruoli's face, thoughtfully.

"I feel that your lady's face looks familiar."

Where have you seen this before?

Jiang Ruoli raised her hand and touched her face.

No way, she doesn't look like a common face...

After breakfast, Mrs. Jiang told Jiang Ruoli that she had to go to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve this year with the Jiang family.

"In previous years, you stayed at home and didn't go to the palace. This year, the emperor has conferred the title of county princess on you, so you have to go." Madam Jiang instructed.

Jiang Ruoli nodded. Her original body was too timid to go out, but she didn't care. She just wanted to have a free meal.

But it’s the New Year, so shouldn’t we prepare gifts for our family?

Jiang Ruoli returned to the room, thoughtful.

"Fuguo, find the things I embroidered before."

The handkerchiefs and other things that the original body had embroidered before could be given to the Jiang family.

Fuguo dug out the box from the depths of the closet.

Opening it again, Jiang Ruoli looked at the horrible embroidery inside.

Close the lid with a "snap".

Forget it.

It’s New Year’s Day, so let’s give something nice.

After all, during the time she had been here, the Jiang family had been really good to her.

"Fuguo, let's go to the streets."
