prince's concubine

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Orange Town ushered in the first snow.

Looking at the windy snow outside and the sudden drop in temperature, Zhong Min was extremely thankful that he had added a fireplace to his house in advance.

It was the first time for Xiaoxue to see snow, and she excitedly played in the yard chasing the snowflakes floating everywhere.Zhong Min also walked out of the room and reached out to catch the snow.

"Master, Boss Zhang from Deyuelou is here." Ah Fu came in from the second door to report.

"Where's Uncle Chu?" Zhong Min asked, "I haven't seen him since I woke up this morning."

The matter of these two replies has always been Chu Yan's matter, why is it Ah Fu today?

"Master, you forgot. Yesterday you ordered half a piece of pork from Butcher Liu, and Uncle Chu went to pick it up before dawn." Ah Fu replied with a smile, while turning the conversation to the previous topic, "Boss Zhang is still in the main room." Waiting here, saying that the younger son's illness has occurred again, young master, look..."

"Sent it again?" Zhong Min's voice was a bit colder. The owner of this piece was the owner of the restaurant where he lived in Orange Town. Speaking of this family, Zhong Min was really speechless.This boss is in his thirties, and he can be regarded as a diligent person, but he is a strict wife.Only one brother died young, leaving behind a son named Guibao who was only four years old.As soon as the brother left, the sister-in-law ran away with others within half a year, leaving the only son unattended.Boss Zhang was brought up in his own home.Unexpectedly, although his wife reluctantly agreed on the surface, she was unwilling in her heart and often abused Guibao. As a result, Guibao fell ill every other day, and gradually Boss Zhang didn't want to see him anymore.It has been only half a month since Zhong Min was licensed to practice medicine, and he has gone to the Zhang family three times.

"Yes, it is said that last night because of gluttony, I vomited and vented, and now I am afraid that I am exhaling more and inhaling less." Ah Fu said softly, with a little doubt and emotion on his face.

Zhong Min sighed helplessly, if this child goes on like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this winter.

"Taxue, stay at home, I'll go see a doctor and I'll be back, ah," Zhong Min turned around and told Xiaoxue who was playing, and was about to go out.

When Xiaoxue saw that Zhong Min was going out, she couldn't care less about playing, and immediately ran forward, rubbed her head against Zhong Min's leg, raised her head coquettishly and shouted at Zhong Min twice: I want to go too!

Seeing the little guy's big, shiny, wet eyes, Zhong Min immediately softened his heart, bent down and picked up Xiaoxue, and couldn't help but touch his round head with his forehead, "I really can't help you, let's go." !"

Xiaoxue immediately stuck out her tongue happily, drooling on Zhong Min's face.

After carrying the medical bag, Zhong Min couldn't help but warn the excited little guy in his arms.

"No more pouncing on their birds! Otherwise, I won't take you out again, do you hear me?"

The last time I went to Boss Zhang's house, I saw a little bird hanging under the eaves. The little guy was so excited that he almost scared the bird to death.It also frightened Zhong Min into a cold sweat, this really killed the little guy, Zhong Min was worried that the people in the town would not be able to tolerate Xiaoxue, after all, this is not a cat.

Xiaoxue seemed to understand, and immediately yelled twice as if in response to the situation, and lay quietly and obediently in Zhong Min's arms and did not move.

This well-behaved appearance makes people unable to speak harsh words.

"Taxue seems to really understand the young master's words, it's amazing!" Ah Fu looked at Xiaoxue in Zhong Min's arms in amazement, and was filled with emotion.

No!So smart that he's about to become a monster!

In fact, Zhong Min also quite suspected that this little guy might be because he was afraid that he would not be able to feed it, so he would feed it with elixir every now and then, and he always used supernatural powers to unblock the meridians for it, so he had opened his spiritual wisdom? !

Before leaving the house, he gave a few more instructions to Ah Fu, and Zhong Min carried the medical bag and carried Xiaoxuei to Boss Zhang's house.

Boss Zhang probably felt quite embarrassed himself, and he was very affectionate along the way.After all, Zhong Min's medical skills are very good, he can be said to be able to cure diseases quickly, and he has a gentle temper, and the charges are relatively low. I heard that he even gave medicines for free to those who have no money. He is almost becoming a living Bodhisattva in this small town.

"What's the matter, didn't I tell him to pay attention to his diet last time? And when I saw him at the street two days ago, his complexion was better than before. Why did he suddenly eat badly again?" Zhong Min said in a tone. asked slightly.

Boss Zhang smiled a little embarrassedly, "Well, it's not that his aunt personally made a spicy hot pot. Guibao thought it was delicious, so he didn't control his mouth for a while, so..."

"Spicy hot pot?" Zhong Min glanced at Boss Zhang, "Didn't I tell you last time that child can't eat spicy food?"

Boss Zhang rubbed his ears uncomfortably, "The only food at home was prepared..."

Zhong Min glanced at Boss Zhang again, sighed, and stopped talking.

Boss Zhang also felt that he was wrong, and followed Zhong Min with his head down. Thinking of seeing his nephew lying on the bed dying in the morning, he felt sad and irritable again.He is not ignorant of some things, but facing his strong wife, he is timid.I also have three and a half-year-old children to raise, and the business in winter is even more sluggish, so my hands are inevitably tight, and this child is sick every day, alas!Difficult!

Maybe it was cold, and the birdcage hanging under the eaves was put away. Xiaoxue wanted to stand up excitedly when she entered the garden, and when she didn't see the birdcage, she fell back on her stomach in disappointment.

Zhong Min laughed secretly, this guy really has a wicked heart!

Opening the door curtain, there was not even a brazier raised in the room, a damp and cold air rushed in, and the whole room was like an ice cave.

Boss Zhang couldn't help but asked, "Why didn't you make a brazier in this cold day!"

"Madam didn't order." A girl who seemed to be the leader replied, without a trace of panic or fear on her face.

"... Hurry up and start a fire!" Boss Zhang shouted and ordered.

The girl glanced at Boss Zhang, and retreated without responding.There was only a thin little girl under ten years old standing there at a loss, not knowing what to do, but the child lying on the bed with only a thin quilt seemed lifeless, if not The faint moaning sound that was so light that it seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, it was impossible to tell that there was still a living person lying on the bed.

Zhong Min frowned, immediately put down Xiaoxue, walked quickly to the bedside, put his hand on the child's skinny wrist, and slowly let in the supernatural power.

Boss Zhang looked at Zhong Min's solemn expression, but he didn't dare to speak, and stood aside and waited.

The child's pulse was already very weak. After half an hour, Zhang Guibao woke up leisurely, slowly opened his eyes, saw Zhong Min, smiled lightly, and shed two tears, "...Uncle Zhong, I saw my parents, they said they would come to pick me up, but who knew I wanted to leave, so I fell down, and when I looked up, I saw you."

Zhong Min let go of Zhang Guibao's hand bowl, touched the child's thin face, fed the child a sip of water, took out a candy from his arms, put it into the child's mouth, and said with a smile, "Silly child,"

"Meow," Xiaoxue jumped onto the bed not to be outdone, and leaned over to Zhang Guibao's face and touched Zhang Guibao's face lightly with the cool tip of her nose. She looked at Zhang Guibao with her big moist amber eyes and yelled, and then He looked up at Zhong Min, as if he was asking: What's wrong with the little guy, why doesn't he get up and play with me?

"Guipao is sick, don't be naughty!" Zhong Min said to Xiaoxue, then got up and walked to the side table to sit down, picked up a pen and was about to write the prescription, when Boss Zhang's wife, Qian Xiaomei, came in.And the girl who was ordered to prepare the brazier was standing beside Qian Xiaomei. As for the brazier, I'm sorry, I have long forgotten it in Java.

"Hey! Dr. Zhong was invited again. You said that this child is always so sick, and you know that this child is weak, but you don't know... you thought it was Dr. Zhong, you are not good at workmanship!" Qian As soon as Xiaomei came in, she came to Ma Wei.

This was the first time Zhong Min saw Qian Xiaomei since he saw Zhang Guibao.

Zhong Min smiled, "Whether this skill is good or not will be seen over time. But this child, if he continues to toss about like this, he will probably need expensive medicine to take good care of him."

"What? Precious medicinal materials? A family like ours doesn't have those silver coins to waste!" Qian Xiaomei originally wanted to bully Zhong Min when she first came here, so that she blamed the doctor Zhong Min for the child's death, but Zhong Min didn't know Suddenly said that good medicine can be used to cure the disease, and immediately quit, and yelled, "Doctor Zhong, you have to look carefully, this child has lost his father, and our family has treated him a lot. If you want to eat like this again If we go down, our family will be eaten up by him!"

It's disgusting to say such things in front of children!

"Don't howl, the child just woke up and needs to rest quietly. Let's go out and talk if we have anything to say." Zhong Min rolled his eyes at Qian Xiaomei, stood up, and seemed to remember something, then turned to Xiaoxue, who was lying on Zhang Guibao's face, and said, "Stay safe." Guibao, don’t let anyone approach you, do you understand?”

Xiaoxue was entrusted with the important task, and immediately called out to Zhong Min joyfully twice, not forgetting to bark its little canine teeth at Qian Xiaomei, and then stretched out its furry paws to gently press Zhang Guibao's small face, as if comfort.Only then did Zhong Min turn around and walk out of the back room.

Boss Zhang had seen the interaction between Zhong Min and Xiaoxuei a few times, and although he was surprised, it was not surprising.It was the first time seeing Qian Xiaomei, and she was astonished as if she had seen a ghost, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

It wasn't until Boss Zhang gently pulled her sleeves that Qian Xiaomei came back to her senses, looked at Zhang Guibao on the bed and Xiaoxuei who was standing aside as a protector, twitched the corners of her lips unwillingly, turned and followed out up.

Several people came to the main room not far from the inner room of the children. Two pots of fire were lit in the room, which was very warm.Zhong Min felt even colder.

"To cure, or not to cure? Give me a letter, my time is very precious." Zhong Min didn't waste a word, just asked directly.The kid reminded him of his past.

"Cure! Of course..." Boss Zhang stopped when he heard Qian Xiaomei's cold snort as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qian Xiaomei personally pushed the tea on the table to Zhong Min. There were five silver ingots standing beside the tea bowl, and said with a flattering smile, "Doctor Zhong, you also know that our small business cannot afford to support so many children. Bao has been weak since he was a child, and we are almost exhausted from this common medicine, not to mention the expensive medicine, you see..."

Boss Zhang turned pale with fright, and howled at Qian Xiaomei, "You're crazy! You can even think of such an idea! That's my own nephew!"

"Shut up! If you're capable, you'll earn me thousands of taels of silver a year!" Qian Xiaomei rolled her eyes, and Boss Zhang was immediately stunned.

Qian Xiaomei has long wanted to get rid of Zhang Guibao, but she has been struggling with no good way, and she doesn't want to get a bad reputation as a mean nephew. It just so happens that a young doctor who doesn't know her place and looks like a broken-down son recently came to the town. The child gave her hope.As long as Zhang Guibao is solved once, she doesn't mind spending some money, not to mention that the money may not necessarily fall into the hands of this poor doctor, what is she afraid of.

"What do you mean?" Glancing at the money on the table, Zhong Min asked calmly, "Do you want me to pay directly for the child to leave quickly?"

"Doctor Zhong is really straightforward! He is a sensible person," Qian Xiaomei said with a smile, "Anyway, this child is always sick, and it's normal if he can't be cured."

Zhong Min sneered, "I'm here for the first time, and I have no grievances with my wife in recent days or past. What do you mean by sending me to the yamen?"

Qian Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhong, what are you talking about? I just asked you to prescribe a cure for our family's Guibao. How could I send you to the Yamen!"

"There are several kinds of medicine, some can cure the disease, some can cure the dead, and some can make people crazy. You are giving money and prescribing the medicine. No matter how you look at it, you have to take it. Feeling like a prisoner." Zhong Min shook his head, "Although I have shallow eyelids, I have stayed in a big place, and I dare not run around without two brushes. Let's see, this child is seriously ill now, and you are too. I don’t want to raise this child anymore. I have a good relationship with this child. If you are willing to let him go to my place this winter and let me test the medicine, if you can survive this winter, he will be my apprentice for the rest of your life. , has nothing to do with your family anymore. How about it?"

Qian Xiaomei's heart pounded when she heard what happened in front of her. Of course, she also heard Zhong Min's threatening words behind her. She told him inside and out that this doctor was not as unreliable as she thought. Hearing the back, my heart brightened again, as long as this child can be sent out, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies!If he died, it would be due to Doctor Zhong's poor medical skills; if he was cured, he would be an apprentice with Doctor Zhong, without her family paying a dime, such a good thing, of course I would!

"It's a good thing, but Dr. Zhong has also seen it. Our family has a small capital and a small profit. Guibao has taken so many medicines for these things..." Zhong Xiaomei said.

"It's just a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I didn't ask you for the money for the medicine. It's good. You want to ask for more?" Zhong Min stood up eagerly, "If you don't want to, forget it, and leave!"

"Don't, don't, don't," Zhong Xiaomei quickly stopped Zhong Min when she saw Zhong Min was angry, "Doctor Zhong cares so much for your protection, how can we not know it in our hearts! But, you have to have a name to send your protection to you, right? "

There are a lot of eyes!

Zhong Min said, "What do you want to say?"
