After returning home from school, the boy took the initiative to go to the old lady to receive his punishment.
"Today was all a minor mistake. I really shouldn't have left the young master. Fortunately, the county magistrate's wife came to my rescue, so it didn't cause a big disaster. The young master didn't dare to hide it, so I asked the old lady to punish him."
The young master hurriedly said, "Grandma, it was Zijun who felt hungry and asked Maodou to buy cakes for me. He just left now. I really can't blame him for this."
The old lady said, "Maodou, you left the young master and you didn't know he was ill. This is indeed your fault, but you do your best to the young master on weekdays. I can see all this, and the young master has done everything for you."
Please forgive me, I will punish you ten times today, and you will not be able to leave at will in the future."
Maodou quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, madam, and thank you, young master."
After he got up, the old lady asked, "You said it was the magistrate's wife who saved the young master today?"
Maodou nodded, "Indeed, the magistrate's wife said that she has some medical skills, and the young master's illness is the same as the magistrate's, so she always has medicine around her. It is a coincidence that she saved the young master."
The old lady thought to herself that because of this disease, Zijun could not do anything and could only take care of him carefully since he was a child.
If the county magistrate really suffered from the same disease, would he still be able to study and take scientific examinations and travel across mountains and rivers to take office in Yun'an County?
But the medicine that the lady took out really saved Zijun, which means that the magistrate must have suffered from this disease.
Even if you get sick, it won't affect your scientific examinations and official duties. You can still move around freely on weekdays. How do you deal with it?
Maodou handed the medicine to the old lady, "The magistrate's wife said that the young master can use this when he is sick and it will relieve him quickly."
Zijun immediately said, "This is it. Madam gave it to me today, and I immediately felt my breathing became smoother. It's better than Dr. Li's medicine."
The old lady was very surprised, "Is it really so effective?"
Zijun nodded affirmatively. He was only ten years old, and he was usually very well-behaved. Naturally, he would not lie. The old lady trusted him very much.
"If that's the case, it seems that the county magistrate's wife is really quite capable."
Zijun said quickly, "Madam, you are so amazing. She is better than all the doctors Zijun has seen before."
For her good grandson to have such a comment, Mrs. Zhao already admired Lin Xixi very much even before she saw her face.
"Come here, prepare a generous gift. I will bring the young master to your door to say thank you in person."
Lin Yuxi thought that the Zhao family would definitely come to visit, but she didn't expect that they would come that same day.
When Uncle Xu came in to talk, she was stunned for a moment. It happened that Chen Zhongqian had just come back, so she asked Xiaoduo to call Chen Zhongqian over.
The old lady of the Zhao family and the young master came to the door together. The servant behind them was holding a gift. Even if they didn't open the box, they knew it was a generous gift.
Lin Joy said, "Is this the old lady?"
The maid next to her said, "My old lady heard that the county magistrate's wife saved the young master, so she specially prepared a generous gift and came to express her gratitude."
Lin Yuxi invited them to sit in the room. As soon as they sat down, Chen Zhongqian came over and said, "Ms. Zhao, this is the old lady and young master of the Zhao family, who came to visit them specially."
Chen Zhongqian nodded. He didn't even know that Lin Yuxi saved a little boy in the academy today. At this moment, he was wondering, the Zhao family seems to be a big family in the county. Why did they suddenly come to the door today?
The old lady of the Zhao family kept staring at Chen Zhongqian and saw that he was walking with a windy step and his face was not pale, so he did not look sick.
Lin Yuxi briefly explained the matter, and then Chen Zhongqian knew what was going on.
The old lady said, "My Zijun was born with a disease. He has grown so big after careful care over the years. He has consulted many famous doctors and asked for many good medicines, but his body is still very weak."
"Today I also had the chance to meet the county magistrate's wife and save his life. How could I not come to express my gratitude for such a great favor?"
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "It just happened to happen. There is no way a doctor would refuse to save someone in the hope of death. The old lady doesn't have to be like this."
The old lady added, "I heard from my servants that the magistrate's wife always carries medicine with her because the magistrate also suffers from this disease. But from my point of view, the magistrate's wife is very energetic and does not seem to be suffering from illness. She is really sincere."
It’s doubt.”
"If Lord Zhixian also has this disease, I wonder which doctor he went to for treatment? I want to cure my grandson's disease, and I also want to see that doctor."
Chen Zhongqian laughed and said, "What my wife said is true. Like the young master, I was also plagued by congenital diseases. My parents sought medical treatment everywhere for me, but I was still weak and it took a lot of effort to grow up."
of."
"It wasn't until I got married to my wife and she took good care of me that I gradually got better, and now I don't get sick very much."
As expected, it was the county magistrate's wife who cured the disease.
Mrs. Zhao was still surprised that a woman could have such abilities, which showed that the county magistrate was no ordinary person.
She quickly looked at Lin Hexi, "That doctor is actually you, the county magistrate's wife."
Mrs. Zhao stood up and bent down slightly, "I wonder if Madam Zhixian is willing to nurse my grandson back to health? I know that Madam is of high status, so it is disrespectful to make such a request, but I really want to see my grandson get better, so why not
I hope you and your lady will forgive me."
Mrs. Zhao is very polite. Who in Yun'an County takes the new magistrate seriously now?
She is the old lady of the Zhao family, her identity is here, and her age is here, so it’s okay if she doesn’t show courtesy.
Now that she is asking for help, she must follow the rules. The magistrate's wife is of high status.
Lin Yuxi stood up and supported her, "Old madam, you don't have to be like this. I am a doctor. A doctor's duty is to treat illnesses and save people. I am willing to treat the young master."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao almost cried. She had a hunch that the man in front of her could cure Zijun's disease.
"Thank you ma'am."
Lin Yuxi said, "Congenital diseases are the most difficult to treat. They are caused in the womb and need to be nursed back to health slowly. Medicine is only one aspect, and it must be combined with exercise and diet. It is not a day's work. I can come and take care of you."
Don’t you know it’s inconvenient for young master to diagnose and treat you?”
Mrs. Zhao nodded immediately, "Convenient, of course it is convenient."
After talking for a while, the grandfather and grandson left.
Lin Yuxi glanced at Chen Zhongqian, "Then let's start with the Zhao family. I heard from Uncle Wen that the Zhao family is the most conscientious among several large families. They have to give out porridge every year, so they have also made other families dissatisfied."
For those big households, as long as their own business is not affected, they don't care how the poor people live.
If the Zhao family opens a porridge shed to serve porridge, it will cause people to talk about other companies, which will naturally lead to resentment in the long run.
Chen Zhongqian said, "Mr. Zhao is not in Yun'an County, and it is not easy to see him. Now that you are treating the young master of the Zhao family, you can often go in and out of the Zhao family. This matter is quite simple."
