Chapter 61 Seeking Medical Treatment

That night, Chen Heng lived with his master and his wife at Lin's house.

It was still the courtyard where Wang Xianming lived in previous years. There were several rooms inside, and Chen Heng slept in the outermost one. Before going to bed, the worried master's wife brought the master to see him again.

"Heng'er, are you uncomfortable?"

Liu glanced at the furnishings in the room several times, and then went forward to touch the softness of the mattress.

Seeing the appearance of his wife, Chen Heng had to shake his head and pretended to sigh: "Indeed, it's too comfortable, but it's a bit strange."

"Playing tricks." Liu glanced at the child sideways, and heard him say this, and felt relieved.

Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Chen Heng repeatedly considered his words in his heart, pretending to be careless and said: "Master's wife, I saw that Jue brother was not in good spirits today, but he was not feeling well."

After a busy day, Liu didn't think much about it, just thinking that she was explaining the child's doubts, "It's an old problem. Jue'er was born not long ago, and your uncle was working in Yangzhou. He was weak to begin with, and he got sick after traveling all the way through mountains and rivers.

If I were to say, the child should rest in the capital when he was so young, but it's a pity that your aunt and her eldest sister-in-law..."

Chen Heng was listening attentively, but Wang Xianming interrupted him and said, "Why tell the child these things?"

Master, Master's wife's words are on the tip of your tongue, but you let me hear half of them. Chen Heng was angry in his heart, and he really couldn't say anything.

Wang Xianming cleared his throat, took over Liu's words, and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Master, please speak."

"Before we left Shanxi Village, Qisuo's mother gave your master's wife five taels of silver, saying it was Qisuo's salary." Wang Xianming took out five taels of silver from his arms while speaking, "This is the silver you gave me on the day you returned to the village. Now I have returned it to its original owner."

Chen Heng blinked, wondering where Qisuo's family got the silver. After thinking about it, he pushed the silver back, "Master, their family is in financial difficulty, you should accept the silver from your disciple. If the aunt refuses to take it back, you can keep her money for Qisuo to use in the future."

"This five taels of silver is what I earned from copying books for more than two months, and it has nothing to do with my family." Chen Heng continued to ask, "Is Qisuo studying hard?"

"Although he is far less intelligent than you, his spirit of enduring hardships is quite similar to yours." Wang Xianming laughed, thinking of Chen Heng's past study, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that he can't pass the imperial examination in this life."

Hearing the master's words, Chen Heng curled his lips, he was open-minded, "Studying may not only lead to the imperial examination, whether it is to know etiquette and etiquette, or to broaden his horizons. As long as he studies hard, he can always find other ways.

"The Great Learning" said: Cultivate oneself and manage the family, isn't that the truth."

What's more, people who have studied always have more opportunities to choose than ordinary people. Chen Heng suppressed this sentence, because such words were too utilitarian, and he was afraid that the teacher would teach him a lesson again.

As for what would happen to Qisuo in the future, he could not tell fortunes by pinching his fingers, so he could only do his best and leave it to fate.

"That's true." Wang Xianming kept nodding, and then said to Liu, not without pride, "You see, I said Heng'er would not be able to collect money."

"Yes, yes, they are all good disciples taught by you." Liu smiled and narrowed her eyes, got up and pulled Wang Xianming, "Heng'er, you should rest early, and we will go to bed too."

Chen Heng hurriedly got up and sent the two elders to the door before lying back on the bed.

One night passed.

After having lunch at the Lin family the next day, Wang Xianming got up and said goodbye. After agreeing with Daiyu to meet at the academy, Chen Heng said goodbye to the Lin family and went directly to the academy.

It was naturally not Chen Heng's turn to worry about sending the teacher. At his age, he only needed to worry about studying well.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, his classmates had come back one after another. Qian Dayou pulled Jiang Yuanbai and talked about the grand scene of the Lantern Festival yesterday. Xin Suzhao came over and said that he slept on the boat last night, and was beaten by his father when he returned home in the morning.

Xue Ke was the last to come back, and he came in with a hand full of gifts. Everyone was surprised to see him. Although Xue Ke was generous and often invited them to dinner, it was rare for him to give gifts formally like this.

Xue Ke himself had a hard time saying it, because he didn't want to give these gifts. It was because his father had a few glasses of light wine with Uncle Lin yesterday when he took Chen Heng and Daiyu out to enjoy the lanterns.

Xue Zhen thought that Xue Ke was in the academy, cared about his teachings, and made many friends. He kept praising him for being smart and knowing how to choose friends. Xue Ke was really confused. He was on good terms with Chen Heng just because he was honest and humorous.

I thought the matter was over, but when Father Xue was happy, he prepared these gifts without telling him, and this morning he repeatedly ordered Xue Ke to bring them to his classmates.

Faced with the questions of his friends, Xue Ke could only pretend to laugh and said that everyone had a share.

After the gifts were distributed, even Xin Suzhao had one. Everyone then dispelled their doubts and accepted them with a smile. Only Xin Suzhao lay on the bed and nodded, indicating that Xue Ke could just put it on his desk.

Xue Ke didn't care. After the gifts were distributed, he pulled Chen Heng out of the dormitory. The two walked a few steps side by side. Seeing that there was no one around, Xue Ke told him what his father meant in a distressed manner.

"You told me that my father did this. I really cherish our friendship as classmates. When he said it, it seemed that I had ulterior motives."

Xue Ke was a sincere person. When he said this, the sincerity with apology made Chen Heng understand his thoughts. He comforted Xue Ke.

"It's okay, it's just a gift." Chen Heng smiled and folded his hands behind his back, "I will take a look at what my uncle gave me when I go back later. If you are not satisfied, you have to change it for me."

Knowing that his friend was joking, Xue Biao felt better, "Exchanging gifts is the next best thing. From now on, you have to visit my house for dinner, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my father."

Xue Ai specifically told Xue Biao that he would always bring Chen Heng to his home for dinner in the future.

"It doesn't matter, just call me and I'll go. If you can eat more good food, it's better than eating in the academy." Chen Heng couldn't help but rub his face. He never thought that he would have to rely on his reputation to make a living.

"Just don't care what my dad thinks. He just walks around all year round. I hope I can make more mentors and friends."

Seeing Xue Biao's expression calm down, Chen Heng became playful and deliberately frightened him, "Maybe your father guessed that you would tell him?"

"No way."

Xue Biao couldn't help but be startled, as if he was really starting to think about this possibility.

"Hahahahaha." Chen Heng couldn't help but laugh, and Xue Biao realized that he had fallen into the trap.

Before the other party got angry, Chen Heng hurriedly asked: "By the way, I was just going to ask you something. Have you ever heard of that kind of doctor who has extremely superb medical skills?"

Xue Biao frowned, looked at him up and down, and asked doubtfully: "Are you sick?"

"No, no, he's the child of a relative of mine." Chen Heng waved his hands repeatedly.

"That's right." Xue Biao nodded and said reassuringly, "The people with the most superb medical skills must be in the Imperial Medical Department."

Master Xue, aren't you talking nonsense? How can I not understand this truth? Chen Heng rolled his eyes and continued to listen to the other party.

"There seems to be no particularly famous doctor in Yangzhou City." Xue Biao shook his head and suddenly his eyes lit up, "There is a doctor from the Imperial Medical Office in Jinling, but he is old and already too busy in Jinling. Please come to Yangzhou."

"Is there anything else? You know a lot, help me think again." Chen Heng continued to encourage him.

"We are really smart but we are fooled by our cleverness." Xue Biao clapped his hands suddenly and said with a smile, "There is one in our academy."

"You mean Master Xu?" Chen Heng looked confused. He had not been sick in the academy for several months and had not had the opportunity to personally experience the other party's medical skills.

"Yes." Xue Biao nodded and explained to his friend, "Master Xu's family has been practicing medicine for generations. Their family is very famous in Xinglin near Yongjia, but Master Xu loves painting and does not have this ambition. Master Xu lives in Yongjia County, He is known as the "Three Masters of Calligraphy, Painting, and Medicine". Otherwise, why do you think our mountain chief would invite him?"

"It's so good." Chen Heng couldn't help but rub his hands with a look of joy on his face.

"Is he a very important person?" Seeing his appearance, Xue Biao couldn't help but ask again.

It was related to the Lin family's family affairs, and Chen Heng couldn't explain the details to him, so he just nodded silently.

Seeing this, Xue Biao changed the topic, and the two of them walked around the courtyard and chatted until they had dinner before returning to the dormitory.

How should I tell Uncle Lin and Daiyu about Master Xu's situation?

If you speak rashly, it will only be counterproductive.

That night, Chen Heng lay in bed with a headache all night.

Chen Heng is thinking about the Lin family, and someone in the Lin family is also thinking about him.

"Dad, does this mean that brother can come to our house to borrow books?"

Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai happily. The father and daughter were in the study room. The older one couldn't let go of the scroll. The younger one stood aside, folding his hands on the table and shaking his chin on it.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Lin Ruhai turned over a page of the book and pretended to be puzzled: "You said that your uncle asked about such a trivial matter once, and you also came to ask about it, but he treated your father and me as outsiders. I don't know. This kid, please call me uncle when you meet me."

Hearing her father's teasing, Daiyu chuckled and straightened up her hands. She just blinked and thought of her words, "My uncle and I are both idlers. We worry about business all day like our father. We, this is because of your golden face." , use it as a favor, and give yourself some gold.”

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, Brother Wei, Brother Wei, in a few years, you will envy me for giving birth to such a smart daughter.

"Okay, okay. It's late, go and have a rest. Be careful not to be late for school tomorrow, let Master take care of things."

"Dad, I'm going to the academy tomorrow. Can I bring a box of cakes?"

Lin Ruhai just thought she was a glutton and said, "Okay, I'll tell your mother tonight and ask her to prepare it for you."

"I want sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

August is the season when sweet-scented osmanthus blooms.

"I know, I know, go to sleep." Lin Ruhai waved his hand and started to chase people away.

Ahhhh, actually the rest of the week is from 1 to 3 pm, and then around 7 pm.

The only exception is Friday. On Friday afternoon, the editor makes recommendations. I’m always worried that if we don’t recommend, our book will die on the spot. So every Friday, I feel uneasy when I get up, worrying about this and that. .

Fortunately, we also have recommendations today! ! ! Hahahahahaha, I’m glad to congratulate you, I’m glad to congratulate you, I’m shaking my head to code words.
