In short, it is impossible for them to accept these ten thousand taels for the sake of the old lady's face.
Someone in the Duke of Song's Palace was sick, and the imperial doctor did not dare to tell anyone. His wife knew that she was getting married to the Palace, and that Su Tang and Xie Boting were going to help and have a wedding banquet, but she still came to the Palace of Jingnan to find them, obviously to show off.
Knowing that they would not help Song Guogong's government, he tried to use the old lady's hand to put pressure on them.
Asking for help while beating around the bush and being cunning, you take yourself too seriously and don't take them seriously.
Mrs. Song Guogong paid the consultation fee so happily that when Su Tang left, she asked the maid who was waiting in the room who was sick in Song Guogong's house. The maid shook her head and said she didn't know. The third wife asked, but Mrs. Song Guogong didn't tell.
Su Tang felt that there was a high possibility that the problem was caused by the crown prince of Song Dynasty.
The disease of not moving.
Even if the medicine was given by Su Tang, could Xie Boting allow her to go to the Duke of Song's Mansion to treat the eldest son of Duke of Song?
Even if no one goes and just sends a boy to deliver a prescription, if word spreads that Su Tang is Doctor Jia in the future, Su Tang will inevitably be involved in rumors.
Furthermore, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty tried to molest Su Tang that day. It would have been good if Xie Boting did not kill him directly. He drugged him and then detoxified him. So what was the point of drugging him?
The two of them left Songhe Hall and walked towards Jingmoxuan. They had only walked fifty or sixty steps when a gentle call came from behind them, "Big brother, big sister-in-law..."
It's Xie Wei's voice.
Su Tang and Xie Boting stopped, and Xie Wei ran over, panting slightly because she was walking too fast.
Su Tang knew exactly why Xie Wei stopped them, but pretended not to know, "Third Miss, do you want anything from us?"
Xie Wei twisted her orchid handkerchief awkwardly and said, "I came to see my elder brother and sister-in-law, but I don't want my grandmother to worry about my father's affairs..."
Su Tang was a little confused when he heard this. Why did he involve the third master again?
Su Tang looked at Xie Wei and waited for her to say the next thing, only to hear Xie Wei say, "When my grandmother was seriously ill, Dr. Jia didn't even come to the house to treat my grandmother. How could she be willing to help Mrs. Song Guogong find her elder brother and sister-in-law to hire Dr. Jia? It was not my grandmother who treated her.
, it’s not my grandmother who gets the medical fee.”
"It's just that Mrs. Song Guogong mentioned that her father was seeking the job of the Minister of Punishment, and a good job was available in the court, which was no worse than the Minister of Punishment. Because of the competition for the position of Minister of Punishment, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were too embarrassed to come to our Jingnan Palace. Grandma thought
I thought if my father could find a good job, the grudge would be gone, so I agreed to help."
Her father and mother are too embarrassed to come to Jingnan Palace?
Really, if Xie Wei hadn't said it, Su Tang would have never known that her parents were such people.
In order to help the third master, the old lady did not hesitate to help the Queen Mother and Princess Jin Min to take the blame on her. The old lady was embarrassed, so why were her parents embarrassed?
She and Xie Boting were unwilling to help the Duke of Song, so they came back to threaten them with Xie Wei.
good.
very good.
Each one is better at asking for help than the other.
Su Tang was not angry, and even smiled, "The old lady is still too out of touch with us. Don't I understand what the third lady said?"
Xie Wei's face was filled with joy, "Brother and sister-in-law are willing to help?"
The peonies blooming in Su Tangxiao's garden are even more brilliant. "How could we miss such a good opportunity to relieve my uncle and aunt's anger? Everything will be well with our family."
Looking at Su Tang's smiling face, Xie Wei vaguely felt that something was wrong. She said, "My parents are not that angry about seeking an official position..."
