Chapter 11 Bring the medical fee

Upon hearing this

  , Du Chenzhi's fat body trembled, and his brocade summer shirt also swayed. He rubbed his hands nervously, thinking that he was still talking about yesterday's incident. After all, it was not very glorious for him. He bowed to the thug and said with a smile on his face, "Don't blame me, Madam Changsheng. I was really rude yesterday. Chenzhi apologizes to you here."

  "I don't blame you." Didn't the fight fail? What's there to blame? Gu Changsheng waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and stared at him with interest again, "Mr. Du, your image today is very different from yesterday!"

  Too disillusioned! Yesterday, he looked like a street bully, a dandy who bullied men and women, but today he has become a gentle and polite nobleman. The contrast is so great that Gu Changsheng feels that the person in front of him is a bit strange.

  "Master Du, let's be frank. Yesterday you made a big show of trying to snatch my maid Han Qiu away, and today you are so caring towards your wife. I am a little confused. Please help me solve my confusion." Gu Changsheng put down his teacup and straightened his sleeves.

  "This... this..." Du Chenzhi glanced at Han Qiu and his brother who stood aside in silence, hesitating and not knowing how to explain.

  This is the savior of his wife and son, who has saved the Du family, and he must not offend him.

  Han Qiu stood aside, his eyes wandering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

  "To be honest with you, Madam Changsheng, I really have no ill will towards Miss Han." Du Chenzhi spoke as if he had mustered up the courage, but was afraid that Gu Changsheng would not believe him, so he hurriedly explained, "Madam Changsheng, you are just passing by here, you may not know, I really have no ill will, at that time I spread the word that no one should buy Miss Han and her brother, it was really... it was really Wan Niang who was not tolerant..."

  Du Chenzhi said this, and he lowered his head unconsciously. This, the wife at home is jealous, it is really not glorious to spread it out.

  Gu Changsheng understood and said "Oh...", dragging out the tail sound.

  Simply put, if there is a tigress in the family, the monkey will not be arrogant. Even if you have the evil intention, you can't succeed.

  "Madam Changsheng, you misunderstood!" Du Chenzhi saw her reaction and knew that what she thought was different from what he said. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start.

  Han Qiu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, lowered his head, "Madam, in fact, Mr. Du has no ill will."

  "Yeah!" Malice can be absent, treason. As for love, that's hard to say. Gu Changsheng agreed very much, his phoenix eyes widened. Who once said that we should be good at using black eyes to find yellow treachery. Love.

  Xiao Cui helped the young master and Han Mo who were peeling lychees to clean their hands. When she put down the handkerchief and looked up, she saw her wife smiling wickedly, with her eyes shining. She curled her lips. According to her understanding of her wife, she must be up to no good!

  Han Qiu and Xiao Cui exchanged glances, and instantly realized. They continued with a serious expression, "Wife, it's not what you think! Mr. Du and I have known each other since childhood."

  "Yes! Yes!" Du Chenzhi agreed quickly. Gu Changsheng

  's eyes became brighter, and the tails of his phoenix eyes were raised high. Well, childhood sweethearts, innocent, affectionate, it seems that she and Mrs. Du are the big sticks that broke up the couple. It's so tactless.

  "Ah! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, I didn't know you..." Gu Changsheng, who dared to admit his mistakes, immediately admitted his mistakes. It would rather destroy ten temples than ruin a marriage. It was her mistake to give Mr. Du a wrong impression when she first saw him.

  In fact, it's not his fault. Mr. Du's image is really not like a good man!

  "Madam Changsheng, it's not what you think. Miss Han and I have known each other since childhood. I once really wanted to marry her. But my father is in the cabinet and Miss Han's father is a frontier official, so I couldn't make it. But the affection we have known for so many years is still there. I can't watch her being sold to another family and suffering, so I tried every means to buy them back. I didn't think of him, but Wan Niang..." Du Chenzhi was smart this time. If he didn't make it clear, it would probably get worse and worse. Moreover, if it was mistakenly heard by Wan Niang, then...

  If I were your wife, I would also drive Han Qiu out. Childhood sweethearts are definitely a major factor in the unrest in the harem!

  However, Gu Changsheng finally understood. It was really her misunderstanding. How could the ancients have such tactful thoughts as hers? It seems that being thoughtful is not necessarily a good thing.

  "Please forgive me, Mr. Du. I misunderstood you. Well, fortunately, we didn't fight yesterday, otherwise I really don't know how it would end." Gu Changsheng rubbed his hands and smiled a little aggrieved.

  "So, Mr. Du, your wife risked her life for you. There were many dangers during childbirth, but she was determined to keep the child safe first. It can be seen that she loves you deeply. Han Qiu and his brother really shouldn't stay in the Du Mansion. They will cause more trouble for you. I will take them away. I will still accept the ten thousand taels of medical fee, and help you lose this fat. How about it?" Gu Changsheng felt that an apology was not as good as substantive action. Moreover, Mr. Du's body standing there really blocked her light, so she couldn't get warm.

  Xiao Cui: "..."

  Madam said that she would charge ten thousand taels for medical fee, and she actually charged ten thousand taels? What's the difference between this and robbery?

  That's ten thousand taels! Not ten or twenty taels! Nowadays, doctors charge a consultation fee of 100 taels for seeing patients, but my wife...

  Master Du obviously doesn't think so. Hearing this, he was extremely excited and hurriedly took two steps forward, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Is what Madam Changsheng said true? If it is true, how can I let you suffer injustice? Wanniang and the child saved their lives, and it's just a consultation fee of 10,000 taels. Even if it costs my life, I won't hesitate."

  Gu Changsheng moved his body to let the sun shine on him. It was April in the world, and the sun was the warmest. How could he waste it?

  "Master Du, you are polite. This is business. Practicing medicine saves lives. I took the consultation fee, and we don't owe each other anything." Seeing that he was sensible and cared about his wife, Gu Changsheng didn't embarrass him anymore.

  "I'm not being polite, madam, there's no need to mention the medical fee. If you can really help me get rid of this burden, I'll reward you handsomely." Du Chenzhi bowed respectfully after saying this. Because of his body shape, he was neither good at literature nor martial arts. He had ambitions but nowhere to display them. He couldn't even be a good dandy. You can imagine how depressed he felt.

  "Mr. Du, there is no need to be like this. Changsheng saves lives, and the consultation fee is ten thousand taels, not a cent more. I treat you just to clear up yesterday's misunderstanding and your affection for Han Qiu, just treat it as a favor." Gu Changsheng waved his hand, turned around and told the little meat bun and Han Mo, "You two stay here and recite the Three Character Classic for me. If you can't recite it well, don't think about dinner. Mother will go to see the situation of Mrs. Du and her son first."

  Little meat bun Gu Ze nodded obediently, not worried about not having dinner at all.

  Gu Changsheng stroked the bun on his head with relief, turned around and walked out, and Du Chenzhi hurried forward to lead the way.

  Although Mrs. Du was still weak, she was no longer in danger of life. Gu Changsheng helped her with acupuncture, and told her how to take care of herself, and then went to see the newborn baby next to her.

  The face of the child, who was born just one day ago, has not grown yet. His rosy little face is full of wrinkles. It is really not good-looking. Gu Changsheng watched him breathe out bubbles in his sleep. A longevity lock was hung on his delicate neck with red velvet thread. He couldn't help but think of his own son. When he was born, did someone hang a longevity lock on him in the hope that he would live a hundred years? Thinking that he was only four years old, he was so precocious, and he must have suffered a lot.

  She was distracted after taking the pulse and didn't know it at all, but the Du family and Du Chenzhi who followed behind were very anxious.

  "Mrs. Changsheng, is there something wrong with my grandson?" Mrs. Du was worried and spoke. "The old woman is worrying too much.

  Although the little boy was born prematurely, he was well raised in the mother's womb. As long as he is well fed, there will be no problem." Gu Changsheng came back to his senses and replied quickly. The three people of the

  Du family all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Changsheng with gratitude.

  If it weren't for her, I'm afraid that both the daughter-in-law and the mother and son would have a hard time surviving.

  "Mrs. Changsheng is very kind. The Du family will remember it. If you have any orders in the future, we will not dare to disobey." Old Master Du threw up his long sleeves and bowed.

  Gu Changsheng was shocked and hurriedly stepped aside. "Well, I don't need to send you, but I just want you to pay me ten thousand taels of medical fee."

  This is the former cabinet minister, who is the first minister and a high-ranking official. She is now a commoner and a doctor, so she dare not ask him to bow.

  Old Master Du was stunned. Ten thousand taels of medical fee is a sky-high price, but the Du family has been a family of officials for generations, so they don't care about it. But this lady is interesting. The Du family has a long history of scholars, and he is very successful. Now that His Majesty is old, the dispute over the crown prince is inevitable. He is retreating at the right time, which is a good opportunity. Moreover, he has many disciples in the court. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he, Du Mingli, will be the first minister to be recalled by the emperor's family. This is the intention of the current emperor, and it is also the good fortune of his Du family! His favor is not so easy to get, but in the eyes of this Changsheng lady, it is not worth a mere ten thousand taels of medical fee?

  Gu Changsheng certainly didn't know what he felt, he just told him to pay attention to matters, and then went back to Lanqiu Court to teach his son to read, and now he also took Han Mo with him.

  Although Han Mo rarely spoke, he was obviously more interested in martial arts. Gu Changsheng and Han Qiu were very pleased. As expected of a military general, his family background was very deep.

  Gu Changsheng was still quite satisfied with the days of being treated like a guest of honor. She taught her son, practiced Han Mo, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Han Qiu. In addition, she also took the time to do acupuncture for Mr. Du twice and prescribed medicine and medicated diet. Fat people are never born, there are only lazy people who don't know how to keep healthy, there is no congenital fat. Even if it is a congenital fat constitution, it can still be greatly improved through acupuncture, medicated diet, exercise, etc.

  Unfortunately, Du Chenzhi was born fat and would gain weight even if he drank cold water. However, Du Chenzhi was lucky to meet Gu Changsheng. As a woman, Gu Changsheng was particularly concerned about beauty, body shaping and health preservation.

  Acupuncture, medicinal food fumigation, reasonable work and rest schedule, reasonable exercise... Gu Changsheng tried everything, and Du Chenzhi lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye...

  Half a month had passed in a blink of an eye, and Du Chenzhi no longer needed acupuncture, and Mrs. Du, who had her stitches removed long ago, also recovered well. Gu Changsheng asked Xiao Cui and Han Qiu to buy a carriage, packed up his luggage and said goodbye.

  With ten thousand taels of silver in his pocket, Gu Changsheng declined the escort of the guards amid the Du family's countless thanks. He lay comfortably on the soft cushion in the carriage, and took the two maids and two little ones back on the road home.

  　The white hair is as new as before, and the love is as old as before.
