My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 173 Taking the bait

Princess Fuyun stopped crying and looked at King Qi blankly.

King Qi said calmly: "Gu Jinghui's fate is peculiar. No matter what, he will live a long life."

one way or another?

What does it mean?

Her eyes were red and swollen. She wanted to ask again, but the King of Qi had already turned and left, leaving only one sentence, "Don't make the same mistake again."

Princess Fuyun sighed.

The ninth princess born to Queen Lin was not much older than her, and it was almost time to choose a prince consort. The crown prince was a sickly person, and her own brother also wanted that position.

I'm afraid she and the Ninth Princess will also have a fight.

Fighting is the only choice for this pair of siblings.

……

Xie Chunwan angrily said, "Who knows how to brag?"

Doctor Liu did speak and looked at Doctor Li warily, obviously feeling threatened.

He lived a simple life with Doctor Li in Renhe Hall, and had to take care of everything by himself. This had never happened before.

Doctor Li smiled and said, "Eighteenth brother, please don't bother him. Tomorrow you just follow Doctor Liu to see these patients. He will send a message to the Marquis, saying that he is worried about you and has nothing to do with it."

Hongye took the maids and old women to clean two rooms, and ordered people to get the furniture and arrange it carefully.

Doctor Li said, "It's already very good. If you need anything, we can talk later. We need to see each other often."

I paused and said proudly, "It was discovered earlier outside the prefecture, and there are fewer people suffering from smallpox. You don't have a prescription passed down from your ancestors to treat it. When your ancestors were practicing medicine in Jiangnan, they treated many difficult and complicated diseases, and helped the government prevent and control the plague. It's just that they liked to be restrained and refused several times. They only joined the Imperial Hospital, and their reputation was well-known."

Doctor Li smiled and said, "Dadong, that's just the beginning. He should get used to it, or he won't be so careless when he is rich."

The servant that Gu Shiba had arranged had not arrived yet, so he hurried over, took the teapot, and said courteously, "Let the servant come, you take a rest first."

Gu Shiba and Hongye then said goodbye.

That was also to prevent Xie Chunwan from doing something.

"Yeah," Dadong responded with a blink of his eyes. He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his thin arm, got the teapot from under the low table, and wanted to pour tea for Doctor Li.

At the same time, she pasted up the window screens, spread out the bedding, tied up the curtains, placed an incense burner in the room, and lit the medicinal incense prepared by Qin Yuan.

Gu Shiliu said, "Okay, we'll have dinner soon. Madam has already ordered the kitchen to prepare their portions. Just ask the servant to get them."

After dinner, the two of them got out of bed before washing up, and they heard loud bird calls coming from inside.

As the two of them talked, they saw that Doctor Liu's face became uglier and uglier, and they both thought that the bait had been set.

Doctor Li understood and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, you can go and have a look tomorrow. The older child has smallpox and it was discovered early. He will recover after taking a few medicines. The disease is most afraid of being delayed and infecting fewer people, which makes it difficult to cure."

The Dingbei Marquis Mansion is truly a place of wealth and splendor.

Dadong climbed up immediately.

The master is extremely greedy and stingy. He wants to spend every penny carefully, and he still wants to be rich.

Gu Shiba praised respectfully, "It has been in the capital for a hundred years. It is a century-old brand. No wonder Madam always speaks ill of Renhetang. The prescription used to prevent smallpox outside the palace was given by Renhetang."

Gu Shiba said, "Xie Chunwan, that's Doctor Li from Renhe Hall, and that's my pharmacist Dadong. The Marquis said that there are fewer and fewer patients outside the palace, so he was afraid that Doctor Liu would be too busy, so he asked Doctor Li to help."

Gu Shiba threw another look at Doctor Li, and deliberately said in a low and respectful voice: "Doctor Li, you are tired today, you should rest early. The servants will go to the kitchen to get food later. Just tell me what they want to eat. If I serve you badly, I will tell you."

The servant had already poured out the tea and respectfully brought it to the table. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I have memorized the menu from the kitchen. If you want to order food, I will memorize the names of the dishes."

Doctor Li stood with his hands behind his back and said unsurely, "That depends on who you meet. If you meet someone who thinks he is capable, it will be difficult."

Dadong curled his lips.

Doctor Li smiled and said, "Doctor Liu has never heard of Renhetang. After all, Renhetang is a clinic opened by the imperial doctors themselves. However, Renhetang is the business passed down from the ancestors of the Li family and has been in the capital for more than a hundred years."

"Oh," Dadong fell asleep obediently, saying, "But that's the Marquis's business, it's the business of Senior Sister and Senior Sister's husband."

"Hush," Doctor Li asked me to say, and said in a strong voice, "He is a bad boy who recites medical books. Tomorrow, he will follow you and watch less and talk more. Protect yourself from bad things. Remember that, okay?"

Hongye had already arranged everything and said with a smile, "If you two need anything, just have someone bring a message to me."

As they were talking, they had already walked outside the courtyard, and just then they met Doctor Liu who had returned. Doctor Liu saw that there were two people missing from the courtyard who he knew, and asked with a twinkling look in his eyes, "Then... who are those people?"

Dadong glared at me and was about to speak.

Doctor Li and Dadong also left the room. Dadong whispered, "Master, that Imperial Doctor Liu, I..."

Dadong was not at all restrained. I looked up at Doctor Li and saw that he was sitting very comfortably under the armchair, with his legs crossed and his fingers tapping his knees. I asked, "Master, what shall we eat?"

Dadong whispered, "There are no birds singing inside."

Doctor Li scolded him: "Why is he sleeping?"

Dadong looked at Dasi in surprise.

evening.

The servant also made no sound, and when he had something to do he stood quietly, but he was very tactless.

Hongye quickly added: "Madam said that she would arrange a servant for her separately."

Doctor Liu stopped and said with pleasure: "I have never heard of Renhetang. My Lord, you are being deceived by some shallow people. It is false that there are fewer patients. I cannot do less work."

Everyone turned to look, only to see that Doctor Liu was still wearing the apron that covered the upper half of his face, so it was hard to tell what he looked like. There was a servant carrying a medicine box beside him.

Xiaodong stared at it in amazement and said, "The Marquis's Mansion is really generous."

Gu Shiba tilted his head and winked at Doctor Li, saying, "Doctor Li went to the lower room to check on the old lady and the others. Should we go to the Eighth Madam's courtyard to check tomorrow? The masters have been getting sick over and over again. The Eighth Madam is strong, but it seems that she can't hold on."

After Doctor Li and Xiaodong came out of the upper room, they were brought directly here by Gu Shiliu.

What a busy time.

"Ridiculous," said Doctor Liu angrily. "Who would be afraid of smallpox if it was not treatable? It can kill people."

"He's stupid. He saw people making trouble, but he still wanted to live. There was no Gu Shiba to take care of him, so he slept peacefully. He's just a big medicine boy."

After saying this, he retreated out of the house, his steps were somewhat unsteady.
