Chapter 65: I left in a hurry and didn’t bring much money!
Xia Wuqi had never encountered such an embarrassing thing in his life.
A group of beautiful girls surrounded him, the one in the front had her shoulders exposed and a look of shock on her face.
Coincidentally, at this time, Ying Chengjiao, the biggest financial backer of the building, broke in.
Especially those beauties who had been looking at him with pleading eyes just now, after Ying Chengjiao came in, they all looked at him for help.
Those who know understand that they are asking Ying Chengjiao to save the manager, while those who don’t think that they are being bullied by Xia Wuqi and are asking for help!
Xia Wuqi has this feeling now, as if he was caught in bed by Ying Chengjiao.
Although this building was clearly built by the government, Xia Wuqie felt that it was opened by Ying Chengjiao!
"I don't want to do it. No, I don't want to do anything!" Xia Wuqie felt that these words were very strange as soon as he opened his mouth and almost got into Ying Chengjiao's black car.
"You don't want anything? You're only in your thirties, right? Are you broken so early?"
Ying Chengjiao's expression became a little strange, and his eyes began to look downward.
broken?
What's broken?
I can understand every word Changan Jun said, why can't I understand what he said together?
Xia Wu was at a loss.
He followed Ying Chengjiao's gaze, lowered his head and looked down at his body, and suddenly choked.
Then he became angry and clenched his hands. For the first time, this kind-hearted doctor wanted to beat the man to make him sick.
This brat!
"It's okay." Xia Wuqie said while gritting his teeth.
He had to explain.
Towers were places for entertainment for the upper class of the Qin State, and many gossips and rumors spread from the towers.
If he doesn't explain today, the news of his death will spread throughout the entire Qin upper class tomorrow.
And this cannot be explained clearly, because this matter was spread from the tower!
It may be difficult to tell whether other things are true or false, but things like "whether it is good or not" or "whether it is bad or not" are too authoritative.
This must have been verified by the beauty herself. Practice makes perfect.
"No problem? Then you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune? A beast in human clothing!" Ying Chengjiao said angrily.
He pointed at Xia Wuqie and turned to ask the girls.
"Did Old Man Xia say that he tried his best but couldn't save the butler?"
The women nodded gently.
"The imperial physician said that the steward's body is fine, but his mental illness is difficult to cure. He has been in a coma because he doesn't want to wake up."
"Oh, that's an old-fashioned excuse. Let me guess, did you think Old Man Xia wanted money, so you went to get it? Then Old Man Xia refused and said he didn't want the money."
The girls nodded heavily, like chicks pecking at rice.
Why does Chang'an Jun seem to have seen it with his own eyes?
They didn't know that Ying Chengjiao was eavesdropping in the next room when the girls asked Xia Wuqie if he was short of money!
"I sneezed all day a few days ago and I didn't know what was wrong. My mother was worried about me and asked him to treat me. He couldn't find anything and even gave my mother a golden bean! Xia Wuqi, tell me, is this true?"
Xia Wuqie: ...
If he says no, he is a liar.
Yes, he just said that he doesn't charge for treating patients.
This brat!
Why did you come in at this time?
In the end, Xia Wuqi nodded helplessly. He was an honest man.
The ladies on the balcony were immediately certain.
Xia Wuqie loves money but doesn't want it, so doesn't that mean he wants people?
"I never expected that. I saw you, Xia Wuqie, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking righteous. But you are even more shameless than me. You actually want to get something for free!" Ying Chengjiao was furious.
Xia Wuqie: ...
Although he didn't understand some of the words in Ying Chengjiao's words, he still understood the general meaning.
He wanted to refute.
But the problem is that what Ying Chengjiao said was true.
This reasoning was so logical that he didn't know how to refute it.
Unless he tells the real reason why he doesn't want the women's money, which is that he feels pity for them.
But that would inevitably cause harm to those sensitive women among them.
Xia Wuqie is a true doctor with a kind heart and a true successor of the medical family.
He was just treating the girls and eliminating the root causes of disease, so why would he now be spreading the seeds of disease to them himself?
So the imperial physician cupped his hands again, his face, which looked older than his peers, full of helplessness.
"Everyone in the world has misunderstood Lord Chang'an . Lord Chang'an can fight with Lord Dun Shang with his mouth and still hold his own."
"Stop flattering me, it's useless!"
Ying Chengjiao snorted coldly, but his involuntarily bent eyebrows revealed his true thoughts.
"Hurry up and save the steward. My brother, the emperor, has been reviewing documents until midnight every day. He has been in good health until now, all thanks to your care. You are such a skilled doctor, how difficult is it to save a person? It is shameful to take advantage of others for free. From now on, all your expenses will be charged to me, Ying Chengjiao."
When the girls heard what Ying Chengjiao said, they all looked at Xia Wuqie eagerly.
In the hearts of the Qin people, and even in the hearts of people all over the world, the First Emperor is like a god.
The only difference is that the former respects it like a god, while the latter fears it like a god.
Xia Wuqi was able to keep the First Emperor healthy all the time, so rescuing the tower manager would be an easy task in the eyes of the women, right?
"Chang'an Jun, this is really not the case." The kind-hearted man paused here, and then forced himself to say: "It's not about prostitution."
"Oh? Then old man Xia, you are here for money? I don't have anything else, but I have plenty of money. He who is outside, bring in the gold I brought with me!"
"only."
The door opened and a guard walked in carrying a large bag. He placed the bag at Ying Chengjiao's feet with a muffled sound.
Ying Chengjiao opened the bundle, reached out and grabbed the things, and threw them on the steward's bed as if they were garbage, but what he actually threw was gold.
Soon, a small hill of money appeared on the bed, which looked like it was worth a hundred gold coins.
Didn't Chang'an Jun go to His Majesty's inner treasury to steal gold?
Xia Wuqie looked a little dazed. Even though he was a man indifferent to money, he was still stunned by Ying Chengjiao's behavior.
What is the concept of a hundred thousand gold?
In this den of vengeance, one gold coin can normally buy one prostitute and five concubines.
A hundred or so gold means a hundred or so prostitutes and five hundred or so concubines.
One gold was worth a thousand coins. A dan of grain in Xianyang cost thirty coins. An adult consumed eighteen dan of grain per year.
In other words, one gold can buy thirty-three stone of grain.
Saving a little bit can feed an adult for two years.
A hundred gold coins were equivalent to three thousand or so dan of grain, enough for an adult to live to about two hundred years old.
The highest salary for Qin officials was two thousand dan, which was equivalent to a little more than sixty gold.
Therefore, Ying Chengjiao's spending of about one hundred gold coins had a huge impact on Xia Wuqie.
"I came out in a hurry and didn't bring much with me. Let's save people."
