Dajin royal family

Chapter 13 Medical Officer Hu Shang
"Your Majesty must not talk nonsense."

Hearing Jiang Chengxiao say "a ray of lonely soul", Li Que hastily said: "Your Majesty, as long as you practice more, your body will naturally get better and better."

Jiang Chengxiao asked: "Medical Officer Li, now that my body has recovered, do I need to avoid food?"

Li Que touched his long beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. His illness is not a serious illness at all. It is just that he was born with a bad foundation and insufficient vitality. , the body is getting stronger and stronger, no matter how much you cultivate and exercise, you will have no worries."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao heaved a sigh of relief, he thought his body was suffering from some serious disease, it turned out that was just like this.Li Que, who should belong to the level with the highest level of medical treatment in known civilizations, said that if he is fine, he should be fine.

If he did not discover the disease in his body, then he would not be saved.

At this time, I suddenly heard a sound coming from outside, followed by a thin voice: "Let me see Alang, let me see Alang, you are all going to kill my son, you are all murderers."

The voice moved from far to near, and then a woman was seen breaking into the side hall, her hair was disheveled, and the jade hairpin was randomly inserted on her head.Entering the side hall, she didn't see who was who, she lay on the ground and hugged Jiang Chengxiao's calf, crying: "Ah Lang, you have to save Saburo, he is the most filial child, the concubine is only such a son, he If I die, I don’t want to live anymore.”

Jiang Chengxiao was very speechless, what kind of eyes do you have? He can admit his mistake at such a young age. Could it be that next time he goes to the grave, he will lie on someone else's grave and cry?
Li Que's face turned black immediately, he got up and kicked the woman away, pointed at her and scolded angrily: "Stupid woman, An dare to be rude in front of the prince, left and right, drag her down for me!"

The domestic servant stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and was about to drag the woman out. Unexpectedly, the woman had some strength, so she rolled and broke free from the domestic servant, climbed up to Li Que, hugged Li Que's thigh and cried.

Jiang Chengxiao listened to the content of the crying and howling. The youngest son of the Li family seemed to have made a mistake when he was an official in the Imperial Medical Office. He was sent to prison by the Ministry of Punishment.

Being in the army does not mean that you go to the army to fight, but a free civilian husband.Basically, the frontier exile is to let you build the Great Wall and build fortifications, and you have to follow it when you are fighting. There is no treatment, and you will die when you die.

In the side hall, the woman hugged Li Que's thigh and would not let go, crying and howling.

Li Que's face was extremely embarrassed. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. If you made such a fuss in front of distinguished guests, anyone would be dissatisfied.

He immediately ordered his servants to drag and drag the woman out.

Immediately, he sat back on the couch again, sighed, and apologized to Jiang Chengxiao: "My lord, I made you laugh."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled, waved his hand and told him that he didn't take it to heart, and then asked: "Medical Officer Li, Cheng Xiao asks a lot, what happened to your son?"

Li Que sighed, and said slowly: "My son, I was an official in the Imperial Medical Office and was in charge of buying and selling medicinal materials out of the palace. At the beginning of this year, I was suddenly found out by the inner guards for embezzling medicinal materials, and I was imprisoned by Dali Temple."

"Medical officer Li has been an official for many years, but hasn't he ever looked for his former colleagues?"

Li Que sighed: "Ah, I don't know about the son of the world. People leave the tea to cool down. Now that the old man has been at home for many years, the old man's former colleagues are few and far between. It's difficult."

This is true, Li Que is over 80 years old, and those who were officials in the same dynasty as him may retire or die.

"What is Doctor Li planning to do now?"

Li Que shook his head and said dejectedly: "To tell you the truth, the old man has no choice but to find a way to manage up and down, so as to find a good place for Yao'er to serve as an army."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, and then comforted Li Que a few words, then took his leave and left.

The bullock cart sent Qin Xiao and the two ladies back to the mansion, so he could only go back on horseback.

Walking to the alley with no one around, Jiang Chengxiao pulled the reins, and suddenly swung the whip in his hand, and it hit Shenju's cheek with a "slap", and immediately a group of house slaves all knelt on the ground.

The horse snorted, and Jiang Chengxiao was condescending, looking down at the divine gesture kneeling on the ground.

"Do you know why you hit you?" Jiang Chengxiao's tone was cold, without any emotion.

Shenju knelt down and touched the ground with his cheeks. Hearing the words of the prince, he replied loudly: "The guards are not effective. Please punish the prince."

Jiang Chengxiao snorted coldly, "It's a good thing you're not stupid. I didn't bring you out to be a spectator. You can't even stop a weak woman. What use are you for!"

Shenju bang bang bang kowtow, "Your subordinate should die!"

He knelt for a long time before Jiang Chengxiao let him get up, and stared at him indifferently, "This is only one time, if there is another time, you will go back to Liaodong."

Shenju still had the mark of the horse whip on his face, and said in shame: "There will be no next time, if there is an emergency, God will make atonement with death."

Turning the horse's head, exerting a little force on the legs, the horse started to walk with hooves.Shenju hurriedly followed, leading the horse, and a group of house slaves behind him consciously guarded the left and right sides.

After leaving Xuanrenfang, he transferred back to Qinglefang, but instead of going back to Yuhualou, he went to another place.

In front of a good-looking grocery store, Jiang Chengxiao got off his horse and walked in.

After entering, I saw many customers shopping inside.The store clerk saw Jiang Chengxiao's brocade clothes, followed by a group of slaves, and immediately walked up to him respectfully, asking Jiang Chengxiao what he wanted to buy.

"All kinds of pastries, candied fruit, and preserved fruit, each one."

"Come on, just wait a moment, I'll get it for you." The store clerk smiled when he heard this, and immediately called the other clerks to go.

"Shenju, go out and look for a jewelry store with Hu merchants here." Jiang Chengxiao ordered.

"Yes."

Shenju turned and left.

The manager in the store heard that there was a big customer, so he hurriedly invited him to sit in the private room and be careful to accompany him.

"Lang Jun, there are some novel pastries in the shop, do you want to try them?" the steward said charmingly.

Jiang Chengxiao frowned slightly, picked up the tea and shook it gently.Seeing this, the house slave reprimanded: "Shut up, why are there so many nonsense, just wait."

The manager Wei Nuo Nuo stood aside.

Not long after, Shenju came back and told him that he had found Hushang's shop.

"Leave one person, and the others will follow me."

Hu shop.

When Jiang Chengxiao entered the door, he saw a boss who looked different from Han.This person has a dark complexion, with raised jawbones, like a Central Asian.

The things in the store are quite novel and very exotic.

"Guest officer, what do you want?" Hu Shang had a sincere smile on his face, and he knew at a glance that Jiang Chengxiao was either rich or expensive.

Boss Hu Shang invited him to sit on the couch, but he himself stood aside respectfully, not daring to sit on the same couch with him.

This is the Great Jin Dynasty, and there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.

Jiang Chengxiao asked the slave to take out Yu Wenhua and the Ye Mingzhu given to him, and asked the boss to give him an estimate.

Yu Huaji said it was worth tens of thousands of gold, but that was just Yu Huaji's rhetoric, and he had to confirm it by himself. Although he was not short of money, he didn't want to be deceived by Yu Wenhuaji either.

The house slave held the box, and another house slave opened the box for Hu merchants to watch.

When Hu Shang saw Ye Mingzhu, he immediately stopped and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said: "Guest officer, I would like to pay three thousand gold to buy it."

Jiang Chengxiao sneered, but Yu Wenhuaji said it was worth ten thousand gold, so he gave God a wink.With a knowing mind, he went up and slapped Hu Shang on the face, which made him dizzy and fell to the ground.

"You barbarian is so bold, you dare to lie in front of my family!"

Hu Shang fell to his knees and begged for mercy, "Guest officer, please forgive me. If you don't believe me, you can go to other Hu merchant shops to ask. I will never lie to the guest officer."

Jiang Chengxiao tapped his finger on the table lightly, "You guys are all together, do you think this son is stupid?"

Hu Shang wanted to say something else, but Jiang Chengxiao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, stared at him, and said, "I'm here today just to ask you to estimate the price, not to sell beads."

Hu Shang is speechless, you should have said it earlier, let him be slapped in vain.

"Then what is your business?" Hu Shang dared not offend him.Just now the slave called him "The Prince", and he is also a barbarian who has been doing business in Chang'an for more than ten years, so he naturally understands the identity of the "Second Son".

"I'm asking you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully, or I'll tell you Hu merchants to get out of Chang'an City."

"Yes, yes." Hu Shang nodded quickly. He had no doubts about this. Da Jin discriminated against Hu people like them very much and set many restrictions.

He would not dare to offend even an ordinary commoner, let alone the dignity of the person in front of him.

"What's your name? Where are you from?" Jiang Chengxiao asked the first two questions of the famous "Three Philosophical Questions".

The so-called three philosophical questions are a joke, namely "who are you", "where are you from", "where are you going".

Hu Shang replied: "My Han name is Hu Gebao, and I come from the Shache Kingdom in the Western Regions."

Hu Gebao?Is there a baby in Huren Pavilion?
Jiang Chengxiao smiled lightly, "This son is very interested in the customs of the Western Regions, astronomy and land features. If you can bring back some novelties for this son next time, you will be of great benefit."

Hu Shang's eyes lit up, if he could catch up with a big Jin nobleman, wouldn't it be much safer for him to do business in Jin in the future.

Before that, he also thought about seeking "filial piety" from high-ranking officials and nobles, but Jin people were ashamed to associate with businessmen, so he had nowhere to worship Buddha.
