Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 457 Request

"So Doctor Song is from Qinghuali!" Master Zhang suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "Then your Qinghuali is really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery!

First, we have the number one scholar, Minister Shen, and then we have the genius doctor, Doctor Song. And Yuan Qing, with his talent, will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future!"

The villagers were even more surprised. They had never expected that Master Zhang would speak so highly of Song Ying that he would even compare her with Shen Zhuangyuan and Yuan Qing.

"Oh, Sister Li, is your Yingwa's medical skills really that great?" someone asked curiously.

Li had no idea about Song Ying's medical skills, so she said vaguely, "I rarely go to the city, so I don't know these things."

Master Zhang looked at Li with a smile, "You must be Dr. Song's grandmother, right? The old lady is waiting to enjoy the blessing of her granddaughter. Your granddaughter is amazing..."

Master Zhang once again praised Song Ying to the highest heaven.

Song Ying was modest. For the first time, he felt that Master Zhang's praise was very good. He should let Li see if he was still that helpless poor wretch!

Seeing this, Song Tian came over, took Li's hand, and called out, "Grandma."

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth, Master Zhang shifted his attention away from Li and looked at Song Ying and said, "I just happened to have something to ask you. Our county magistrate has a distant relative who also got... cough cough, my previous illness has been recurring and has never been cured.

The county magistrate heard about my situation a few days ago and sent a letter to the capital. I believe he will come to Qingshui County to ask you for treatment soon. I hope you can do your best to cure him then."

Song Tian was very anxious and wanted to interrupt but didn't dare to. Although Master Zhang had been smiling since he arrived today, those who worked in the yamen knew how bad his temper was. If he, a hanger-on, interrupted casually and annoyed him, he might be beaten to death.

No matter how anxious he was, Song Tian could only be patient and wait for the right opportunity.

"This..." Song Ying suddenly felt pressured, "You think too highly of me. I have only been practicing independently for a short time. With these simple medical skills, how can I guarantee that I can cure the disease?"

"Other illnesses are fine, but that young master's illness is basically the same as mine. You will definitely be able to cure it."

"Just because the symptoms are similar doesn't mean the causes are the same. To cure the disease, we have to find the cause and prescribe the right medicine. I really can't guarantee this." Song Ying knew his own strengths and weaknesses and did not agree.

Master Zhang was a little disappointed, and could only say, "Just do your best to treat him."

After a pause, he continued: "This young master is of extraordinary status. If you can cure him, you will surely become famous throughout the world."

Song Ying has little experience now, so how can he talk about becoming famous? He was not moved at all when he heard this and still said that he could not guarantee a cure.

Master Zhang had no choice but to say, "Just do your best. I believe in your medical skills. It's getting late, and the county magistrate is still waiting for my reply, so I'll take my leave now."

Song Ying nodded, "Take care."

After Master Zhang left, everyone looked at Song Ying differently. Aunt Meihua felt very unhappy: "Aunt Li, your granddaughter has become successful. The nobles in the capital all come to her for medical treatment."

The others also agreed, "Yes, she is really promising. The master is really polite to her."

Luo Yanxing curled his lips, "What's the big deal? Song Ying has treated the wives of the county magistrate, the deputy magistrate, and other wealthy ladies. Whoever invites her in is polite."

When the villagers heard this, they were even more surprised and congratulated Li one after another.

The most proud woman today was Tao. Li had never expected that she could share some of the villagers' envy. She felt very proud for a moment and said modestly, "She has only studied for a few years, how could she deserve such praise from you? Didn't she just say that it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse?

Oh, it’s getting late, I have to go back to cook, we’ll leave first. Sister Tao, there’s a big wedding at your house today, you should go back and entertain the guests, we’ll talk later when we have time.”

Tao waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'm busy today too. I'm sorry for not entertaining you well, so I won't keep you here. We can have a good chat later when we have some free time."

Li asked the whole family to leave. Song Tian originally wanted to follow his friends back to Yuan's house, but after thinking it over, he changed his mind and went back with Li and others.

Many villagers from Xinghua Village also said goodbye to the Yuan family and left.

The road in the mountain village was very narrow, and could barely accommodate two people walking side by side. Song Tian could not wait, so he passed the two sisters Meiyue and Nanxing in a few steps on the road and walked behind Song Ying and Luo Yanxing. "Cousin, what Master Zhang said must be an excuse. It must be that Magistrate Chen wanted to curry favor with the young master in the capital."

Song Ying raised his eyebrows, turned his head and said, "I didn't expect that your three years in the government office were not in vain. You can understand some things now."

As she often went in and out of the inner chambers, she naturally understood what Master Zhang meant. How could it be such a coincidence that she had just cured Master Zhang's illness, and County Magistrate Chen had a relative who also had the same disease, and he was a respected young man in the capital.

"This is a good opportunity. Please help me find a job in the county government. You cured that man and helped County Magistrate Chen and Lawyer Zhang a lot. They will definitely agree." Song Tian rubbed his hands excitedly. He had been working as a laborer in the government for three years without finding any opportunity. He didn't expect that he could get close to Lawyer Zhang and County Magistrate Chen now!

"I just said that I'm not sure I can cure it." Song Ying frowned, "Besides, why should I give you this job? Do you know how much I charge for a visit?

For these powerful families, I charge at least 1 tael of silver for consultation. After helping you, I can no longer charge for consultation. "

Before Song Ying finished speaking, Song Tian said hastily, "A few taels of silver are nothing. If you want to get a job, you have to spend at least 20 to 30 taels of silver to get connections. You can get a job by losing a little bit of the consultation fee. It's a good deal!"

Hearing this, Yang hurriedly said, "Yingwa, just help your brother. Second Aunt will give you the missing medical fee later."

Song Ying felt a heart attack after hearing these words. These words made them sound so kind and as if they didn't owe her anything. The question was, "What do you mean by a few taels of silver? Is that silver that was spent? That was a favor from me. Once I asked for it, I owed Master Zhang a favor."

Li was old and hard of hearing. She was walking behind and didn't hear what was going on. She only heard what Yang said next to her. She immediately frowned and said, "We are all family. You still charge your second aunt for a medical consultation. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?"

Song Ying was even more upset. She only listened to half of the conversation and started to join in without even understanding the whole story. Her grandmother was really biased.

Unexpectedly, Song Tian didn't appreciate it this time. He turned around and shouted to Li: "Oh, grandma, you didn't hear clearly, don't interrupt. I will talk to my cousin myself."

He was afraid of angering Song Ying, so he begged, "Cousin, please help me this time. If I become an official, I can also take care of your store, so that no one will come to your store to cause trouble."
