Chapter 716: The Unfamiliar King Qi
Old people often say that fallen leaves return to their roots.
The older you are, the more you miss your hometown, which is also human nature.
The most important thing is that the circle has changed.
I used to be neighbors when I walked out of the house. When there was no work at home, a few people could sit around under the eaves and chat with great interest, and they could sit for half a day.
Now in the capital, I live in a big mansion with several yards, and the front and back are surrounded by courtyard walls. The maids can only flatter, and my son doesn't have the time to listen to him.
The only neighbors who can chat with relish are not here.
Even if forced to stay here in such an environment, the elderly will not be happy.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing said, "Okay, when are you going to leave?"
Liu Ji said; "Just these two days."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "I see, you two are the same, my children are all born, tell me why you are not married yet? You are still one year older than me."
Liu Ji and Li Dong looked at each other, then lowered their heads and sighed at the same time: "Isn't it that we haven't found a suitable one yet?"
Xu Qing: "I remember when I was still in Yong'an County, didn't you say that the daughter of the county magistrate was good?"
Liu Jidao: "It was different then than now."
Xu Qing; "What's the difference?"
Liu Ji said: "At that time, the family was poor and short of money, and the arrester only had a little salary for a month."
Xu Qing said: "So now you have money and you change your mind?"
Liu Ji's eyes were complicated and he said, "Are you willing to marry a daughter worth two hundred catties when you are rich?"
Xu Qing: "..."
Before co-authoring, Liu Ji wanted to marry the daughter of the county magistrate's family in order to have a soft meal like himself.
Li Dong looked at Xu Qing and said, "If you want me to say Xu Qing, you are lucky. Fortunately, Master Su's daughter came over to be a head catcher. If the daughter of the county magistrate came over to be a head catcher, you would have liked it. Small body, tsk tsk tsk... By the way, I haven't asked yet, what kind of official is Mr. Su doing now?"
Xu Qing said: "Father-in-law is now the Governor of Jingzhao."
Liu Ji was surprised and said: "Let me just say, Mr. Su is so hardworking, he will surely have a successful official career, and he is already the governor of Jingzhao Mansion!"
Xu Qing nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, thanks to his hard work and giving birth to a daughter with his mother-in-law, otherwise, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion would be able to sit on the seat in ten years' time. "
...
After the three of them had a farewell drink together, Li Dong and Liu Ji went home to pack their things.
After Xu Qing paid the bill, he went out to Dr. Qian's clinic.
Seeing Xu Qing, Dr. Qian quickly cupped his hands and bowed: "The grass people pay homage to Lord Hou. I don't know what is the purpose of Lord Hou's presence?"
Xu Qing helped Dr. Qian up and said, "Doctor Qian's medical skills are outstanding, and I really admire them."
Doctor Qian said very politely; "Master Hou is too famous."
Xu Qing pondered for a while and said, "Does Doctor Qian have any idea of going to Yongzhou to practice medicine?"
Dr. Qian shook his head and said, "Caomin has been practicing medicine and saving lives here for many years, and he has no intention of running around anymore. Besides, once Caomin leaves, what should the noble sons in the capital do?"
Xu Qing said: "Dr. Qian has a lot of apprentices. You can leave one or two, and they can take care of themselves. Of course, I don't want Dr. Qian to leave his hometown. I guarantee that as long as Dr. Qian goes to Yongzhou to practice medicine, I can do it." How about giving Doctor Qian five hundred taels a year?"
Dr. Qian was startled when he heard Xu Qing's words, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "How can the grassroots He De be such a generous gift to the Marquis? The grassroots are terrified!"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Doctor Qian, you don't know. My parents have both passed away since I was a child, and I have to rely on the help of my father's two friends' families. Now the elders in their family are getting old and their legs and feet are inconvenient." Now, what if it falls down, what should I do? If they are willing to stay in the capital, it’s fine, but the elderly want to return to their roots, so I can’t persuade them.”
"That's why I came up with this plan. I hope that Dr. Qian can go to Yongzhou to practice medicine. In case the old man is ill, he doesn't need to ride a horse-drawn carriage all the way to the capital for medical treatment. If his health can't bear it, please think about it carefully. not a problem."
When Dr. Qian heard Xu Qing's words, his eyes lit up with admiration and he said: "So that's the case. I didn't expect that Lord Hou would have filial piety. The grassroots admire me! Don't say anything else. Tomorrow, the grassroots will pack up and go to Yongzhou to practice medicine."
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said; "In this way, I would like to thank Doctor Qian."
Doctor Qian also replied, "How dare you!"
At the beginning, Xu Qing thought that Li Dong and Liu Ji would take over their entire family and settle down in the capital. Who knew that Li Dong and Liu Ji would leave with their family if they didn't.
There was only so much Xu Qing could do for them.
The idea of the old man is always so simple and unpretentious.
After Xu Qing came out, she ran into Xiao Ruxue. Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing in surprise and said, "You didn't stay with Sister Su at home today, you... you can come to the capital."
Xu Qing flicked her head: "I'm not too lazy to stay at home all day, okay?"
Xiao Ruxue covered her head and said, "Then what are you doing here today?"
Xu Qing said: "The martial arts is about to start. I'm here to check whether the venue for the martial arts is safe. This time the martial arts will be watched by grassland people. If something goes wrong, it will fall into the eyes of the grassland people. I'm afraid it will be a problem for the national system." lost."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said, "You're right, I'll go with you."
Xu Qing asked in surprise, "Is Su Men all right today?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "The martial arts will be held soon, and I'm afraid they will be under a lot of pressure, so I gave them two days off in the last two days, so that they can be more free. I don't know if it's right or not. wrong."
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue were walking together on the way to the Martial Arts Field. They passed by a restaurant and saw King Qi coming out of it. He was still holding a jug of wine. Drunken red.
Seeing Xu Qing, King Qi smiled and said, "Xu Qing, it's you."
Although Xu Qing didn't like King Qi very much, he still cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi."
King Qi waved his hand and said, "There is no King Qi in this capital today."
After speaking, King Qi grabbed Xu Qing's wrist and said, "Come in and have another drink with me."
Because Xu Qing had a rift with King Qi, he naturally refused: "His Royal Highness, I still have important matters to attend to."
King Qi said drunkenly; "I'm going to the grassland soon, you don't give me this face? I invited you to a banquet before and you didn't come. Today's banquet, you have to drink with me. One cup, and you don’t need to pay for it.”
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue glanced at each other, why is this King Qi in front of him so strange now?
