ancient female doctor

Chapter 179 Medicine and Beards

"Young master, please stay."

As soon as Qing Zhu turned around, she saw a middle-aged man with the appearance of a literati standing at the door of the inn, looking at her with a kind smile on his face.Behind the middle-aged man, stood two guard-like men with long swords hanging from their waists.

"It's them." Liu Qing stood beside Qingzhu and said in a low voice.

Although Liu Qing's words were endless, Qingzhu knew that Liu Qing was talking about the person who spied on him last night.Slightly nodded, indicating that Liu Qing knew it, then looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "Why did you call me?"

"Last night, I saw that the young master also rescued the man who swallowed gold (metal) in a strange way. I was amazed. I wanted to make friends with the young master, but it was too late at that time, so I didn't dare to disturb the young master to rest. Who knew that the young master had to pay the bill this morning. It’s a good thing I didn’t wake up too late, otherwise I’ll miss you.” The middle-aged man said, walking a few steps in front of Qingzhu.

"It's hard for a little doctor to be a good doctor, but it makes me laugh." Qingzhu smiled politely.

"Young Master, why should you be humble?" The middle-aged man shook his head, and said, "I don't know the name of Young Master Gao in Xiatian Zhong? Can you let me be a host so that I can have a chance to make friends with Young Master?"

"My surname is Qin, and my name is Jue. I am ordered by my teacher to go out for medical treatment. If Mr. Tian is willing, you can call me Doctor Qin. As for the host... I have to hurry, so I can only accept it." Qing Zhu bowed slightly and smiled. Said.

"It's such a pity..." Tian Zhong heard the words, showing regret on his face, and asked again: "Where does Doctor Qin want to practice medicine?"

"Well, I don't have any plans yet. In short, it doesn't matter where I go. I'm a doctor. I'm going to travel around to cure diseases and save people." Qingzhu said with a smile.

You can only talk about three points when you meet people, but you can't give up all your heart.When going out, it is important to be careful.Although Qingzhu's own destination is Fuzhou, she doesn't want people to know.But, no matter where you go, you can go to Fuzhou, anyway, it’s a coincidence.

"Oh? Since Dr. Qin doesn't have a specific master he wants to go to, but just wants to travel around, can I invite Dr. Qin to go to Fuzhou City?" Tian Zhong clasped his hands, looked at Qingzhu and asked with a smile.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Qingzhu thought that King Ning had said, and the spy letter said, that King Fu sent his subordinates to seek medical treatment everywhere, so he couldn't help wondering if this man was one of King Fu's subordinates.

If it was true, then she would not be able to reveal her purpose even more.

"Going to Fuzhou?" Qingzhu frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said: "Fuzhou is Shangzhou, and Fuzhou City is a prosperous place. There are many doctors who want to come here, and they don't like traveling doctors. Sir, didn't you see that I was here?" Hasn’t this Yizhou used the pretense of traveling as a doctor? It’s just that they don’t want to conflict with the local doctors.”

"Besides, my teacher once pointed out that if you want to improve your medical skills, it is best to go to remote villages. In those places, it is easier to encounter difficult and miscellaneous diseases, so..."

"Oh? Could it be that Doctor Qin is good at difficult and miscellaneous diseases?" Tian Zhong asked with a look of joy on his face when he heard Qingzhu's words, looking at Qingzhu.

"It's just dabbling." Qing Zhu shook his head, looked at Tian Zhong and said.

"Actually, I want to make friends with Dr. Qin, but I have something to ask for." Tian Zhong looked at Qingzhu and said.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you're welcome. If you have anything to say, let me hear it. If Qin is within his power, Qin will naturally not shirk." Qingzhu didn't refuse, but she didn't talk too much.

Tian Zhong bowed to Qingzhu, looked at Qingzhu and said, "Thank you, Doctor Qin first."

After speaking, Tian Zhong said again: "To be honest, Tian is a merchant, but there are relatives in the family who are officials, so this business can do well. It's just that not long ago, my relative who is an official suddenly got a strange feeling. Tian is worried that he will be removed from office because of this, and then...so Tian has been looking for doctors and medicines around these days, in order to cure my relative's strange disease."

"It's a pity that famous doctors, large and small, near Fuzhou City have all been invited to Fuwang's Mansion. I, a small businessman, really have no choice. Yesterday, by chance, I saw Doctor Qin treating patients with strange prescriptions, and hope arose in my heart, so... ..."

"It turned out to be Boss Tian." Qingzhu smiled and said, "Boss Tian is looking for a doctor, why didn't he say so before? That's right, Boss Tian also thought I was young, and he was afraid that I was just lucky enough to save someone last night. Shall I try it out?"

"Don't blame Doctor Qin..." Tian Zhong said, giving Qingzhu a long bow, which seemed to agree with Qingzhu's words.

"I understand. In the eyes of the world, a doctor's medical skills are directly proportional to his beard. The longer the beard, the more advanced people think his medical skills are, and people like me don't think that I am still young and have not yet learned art. Fine, you just see me as a charlatan..." Qingzhu said, pretending to be lonely.

"I'm an ordinary person who doesn't know medical skills. Naturally, I don't know how to distinguish between good and bad. That's why I judge people by their appearance. Please don't take it to heart, Doctor Qin." Tian Zhong looked at Qing Zhu with a guilty look on his face and said.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Qingzhu shook her head and said, "So, this is the second reason why my teacher advised me to go to the countryside."

As he said that, Qing Zhu asked again: "By the way, Boss Tian knows what disease your relative is suffering from. Or, what symptoms does it have?
"This..." Tian Zhong's face showed embarrassment, and after a while, he said: "I only know that the relative has a strange disease, but I really don't know what the disease is."

"Is that so..." Qingzhu pondered slightly, looked at Tian Zhong and said: "My teacher once said that as a doctor, you can't see the patients and turn them away. Then, I will go to Fuzhou City. But, I must first make it clear that not all intractable diseases can be cured, I can only say that I will do my best."

"This is really great!" Tian Zhong looked happy, looked at the green bamboo and said: "Doctor Qin please wait a moment, and I will order someone to go to the car, and we will go back to Fuzhou City immediately." After speaking, Tian Zhong looked at One of the guards ordered: "Go and harness the car, and come here immediately."

"Yes." The guard hesitated slightly, but immediately nodded and took the order to leave.

Seeing that the guard had gone, Tian Zhong looked at Qingzhu, and smiled apologetically: "Besides, I just came out in a hurry, and I haven't paid the bill yet, let me go and settle the bill first."

"Boss Tian, ​​please do what you want." Qing Zhu nodded with a smile.

"Master Tian, ​​are we really going back like this?" A guard who had been silent behind Tian Zhong, after entering the inn, suddenly leaned into Tian Zhong's ear and asked in a low voice. worry.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Tian Zhong gave the guard an angry look, and strode away to the counter to pay the bill.

And outside the inn, Liu Qing also looked at Qingzhu, and carefully asked: "Are we really going with them?"

"Yeah." Qing Zhu nodded and said, "I suspect that they are from the Fu Wang Mansion."

"Oh." Liu Qing nodded, expressing understanding.
