Happiness System

Chapter 6: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (5)

It was the spring farming season and most of the villagers were working in the fields, so when the ox cart left the village, it only encountered a few naughty children.

The oxcart they rented was very simple, with just a few wooden boards nailed on two wheels. Not to mention the roof, there wasn't even a handrail, so it would roll down if you weren't careful.

After the sun had warmed up, Qin Yunxi was wrapped tightly before getting on the ox cart. The temperature difference is big during the late spring cold snap, which is understandable!

But this body is really useless. At the beginning, Mu Jingheng was afraid that she couldn't sit steadily so he half-hugged her. She felt uncomfortable at that time, but now she was halfway through and she was exhausted and collapsed in his arms.

Fortunately, the road conditions were not bad, otherwise she would have been killed!

There are documents in the Tang Dynasty stipulating that roads with people must be managed.

Official roads were built and maintained by laborers dispatched by the government, and the remaining roads were assigned to each township and village, and each village would arrange people to repair the roads regularly.

So the ox cart ran relatively smoothly.

The ox cart stopped at the door of the clinic. Seeing that she was about to faint at any time, Mu Jingheng carried her directly into the clinic.

She is really about to be crippled, her body is not keeping up!

"Doctor, there's an emergency!"

Mu Jingheng often came to see the doctor, so he was considered an old acquaintance. However, Qin Yunxi had never come once. The doctor would either come to see the patient or he would describe the original owner's symptoms and the doctor would prescribe some medicine or something.

But everyone in the pharmacy knew that Mu Shusheng had a sick wife. When they saw him coming in carrying someone, perhaps because Qin Yunxi's face was too ugly, the waiter thought she was about to die.

That roar drew the attention of everyone in the clinic to her.

Then, after a flurry of activity, she was sent to the inner room, which was a special place for treating the wounded and seriously ill.

Qin Yunxi: “……???”

What happened? I even suspected that I was really dying of illness.

Thank you so much!

"Don't panic, doctor. My wife is just tired from the journey. She is fine."

Looking at Qin Yunxi's indescribable stunned expression, Mu Jingheng rarely showed a smile in his eyes.

Qin Yunxi rolled her eyes. What's so funny? Don't think I didn't see it!

"What's this, ma'am? A follow-up visit?"

"Although my wife was frail before she got married, she was still in good health. It was only after the old man passed away that she became ill due to worry... She seemed to be better yesterday, so I thought of asking Doctor Kang to see if he could treat her." Mu Jingheng regained his indifferent look and said to the doctor.

Doctor Kang said to Qin Yunxi with an understanding look, "Madam, please stretch out your hand. I need to feel your pulse and see how you are doing."

The default rule of the clinic is to treat patients with acute illnesses, serious injuries, etc. first. Although there were several patients waiting in line outside, they all came in and the doctor treated them first.

Qin Yunxi put her hand on the pulse pillow. The old doctor made a careful diagnosis and asked some details before saying, "Madam, your heart knot has been resolved. The depression in your heart has dissipated and your body has improved. Do you want to take some more medicine to consolidate it? It's okay if you don't want to take it. Just take things easy and take some good supplements. Slowly, you will get better..."

Doctor Kang thought of the financial difficulties of Mu Shusheng's family, and thought that they probably didn't have enough money to buy medicine. As soon as he said this, he immediately changed his mind as if talking to himself.

"Doctor, please prescribe two more doses of medicine for my wife. She was still having a fever yesterday and I'm afraid it will come back. Does my wife need any other medicine to regulate her body?"

Doctor Kang thought the couple was preparing to have a child, so he said, "I am not good at treating women. If Madam Mu wants to treat her body, she can go to Shanrou Hall in Qingteng County. They only accept female guests, and the female doctors there are good at gynecology and treating women's bodies..."

Qin Yunxi: Wait, are you imagining something?

"Thank you for your advice, doctor. My wife may need to use this room to relax for a while." Mu Jingheng's mouth twitched. This Doctor Kang really loves to imagine.

"Of course, of course. Madam Mu, please feel free to do as you please. Mr. Mu should know that we don't accept credit. Please come out and settle the bill." The old doctor walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Madam, please rest here for a while. I will be back soon." After saying this, she followed Doctor Kang out.

Looking at the closed door, Qin Yunxi fell into deep thought.

Qinghe Town is just a small town. Although the journey here was uncomfortable, she still paid attention and observed carefully. To be honest, it was far different from her expectations.

She also paid attention to the clothes and spirit of the townspeople. There was not much difference between the civilians and the people in the village. It seemed that moving to the town would not be much better than staying in the village!

Moreover, there is only one clinic in the whole town. Fortunately, although the doctor’s medical skills are mediocre, he is a relatively honest person.

In other words, the doctors here can't tell if she has any other health problems, so she still has to go to Qingteng County.

Then the plan has to be changed. As for the county exam we talked about yesterday, now that we know about it, we definitely can’t give up.

I originally thought that there was enough time, so I would let him take the exam after he saw the doctor and looked at the house.

I don’t know if the money left after buying the medicine is enough for them to go to Qingteng County.

Qingteng County is a day's journey from here. She should be able to hold out for two days. If her health is not good, one day may become two days, and then sharing a car will not be suitable for them.

Moreover, with her physical condition, if she couldn't find a horse-drawn carriage, she would have to find a covered oxcart. Otherwise, with such a long distance and being blown by the wind for so long, she might die if she wasn't careful.

The original owner must have a bad brain. She is not a fairy who is detached from the world. She must not know this or that.

It made her too passive!

Before she could finish complaining about the original owner, Mu Jingheng came back.

"Is there any money left?" Qin Yunxi tilted his head and looked at him.

Don't say this guy is very good-looking! He's just too thin.

No wonder they say beauty lies in bones, not skin?

"Both sets of medicine are good and cost only three cents. The waiter is preparing the medicine. You have to wait for a while. Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?" He said as he sat down next to her.

Qin Yunxi put her hand on her abdomen and blinked: "I want to eat meat!"

After drinking the not-so-tasty stale rice porridge without any green vegetables yesterday, she started craving for meat.

Seeing that her complexion was still not very good, Mu Jingheng reached out and touched her forehead, but found no fever, so he said, "How about fresh meat wontons? It's not suitable for you to eat too much meat when you just recovered from an illness." His tone was surprisingly gentle.

"Yeah." Qin Yunxi dodged uncomfortably, "Is it far from here to Qingteng County?"

"It's far. If we leave early in the morning, we can get to the city before closing time. If we are unlucky and get delayed on the way, we will have to stay in a hotel outside the city."

I didn't ask her if she wanted to go, and her current health didn't allow her to travel far.

"How do we get there? By bullock cart? Is it expensive?"

"Take an oxcart or a horse carriage. There is one oxcart running at the morning hour and one horse carriage running at the afternoon hour every day at the coach inn. You can enter the city on sunny days. An oxcart costs thirty copper coins, and a horse carriage costs fifty copper coins. It will depart when there are more than five people." As he spoke, he pursed his lips, as if he had some unpleasant experience riding a carriage.

"When is the county exam? Do we have enough money to go to Qingteng County?" It would take a lifetime for this broken body to go out, so if there is anything to prepare, it would be best to do it this time.

"Madam? Madam, do you mean that your husband should take the exam?" Mu Jingheng suddenly stood up and looked down at her.

Qin Yunxi felt a little oppressed. She looked back and couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

She lowered her eyes to look at her hands and said, "Jingheng, don't you want to take the exam? I saw you reading every day, I thought you wanted to continue taking the exam..."

Mu Jingheng sighed, sat back in his previous position, held her shoulders with both hands and said word by word: "My lady, do you know that the registration fee for the academy is one cent, the registration fee for the county exam is one cent, and the tea and water fee plus the travel expenses and hotel accommodation are at least two taels of silver? Your husband can only earn less than two cents a month by copying books day and night. If my lady falls ill..."

"But I want to live in the city. The countryside is not good at all!" She interrupted him, imitating the original owner's temper. "I don't care. You have to take the exam and take me with you!"

"My dear, two taels is the cost for one person. The living environment in a hotel is not better than at home. Be good, and when your husband has money, I will definitely take you to live in the city." There were complicated expressions in his eyes, but he still coaxed her patiently.

"We are rich. I still have two embroidery pieces that I haven't sold yet! They are very valuable. Every time I sell an embroidery piece, I can exchange it for new clothes and jewelry. The remaining money is enough for me and my grandmother to spend for several months!" Emma felt like she had said 100 million.

Seeing the other person's thoughtful look, she continued: "Don't you want to take me with you? You look down on me before you become successful. Are you going to be like Chen Shimei in the future?" As she spoke, tears started to flow.

"You're just talking nonsense!" Mu Jingheng hugged her in his arms, sighed, and gently stroked her head to comfort her.

Qin Yunxi was a little confused. Oh my god, there’s something wrong with my body. I got into the role too quickly, and I didn’t feel like crying!

Where's 00? Help, something's wrong with me!

In short, my emotions were a little out of control. I cried so much that I felt very tired and sleepy!

When she fell asleep, she remembered that she had locked up the small system 00 in a small dark room because it was too noisy.

Little did she know that her sudden stop making any movement almost frightened Mu Jingheng to death, and he rushed out and dragged Doctor Kang in.

Then Dr. Kang diagnosed that she just fell asleep due to overwork.

Finally, Mu Jingheng fell silent. It looked like his wife was unconscious...

Suddenly I felt that my wife was right. We had to go to the city no matter what. Doctor Kang didn't seem to be very helpful?

Fortunately, Qin Yunxi woke up after only sleeping for half an hour, otherwise Mu Jingheng would probably be sure that Dr. Kang was a quack and would throw away the two prescriptions.
