Chapter 66: How much strength can a doctor have?
I didn’t bring much…
The impact these four words had on Xia Wuqi was no less than the impact of the one hundred gold coins on the bed.
If you are not in a hurry to go out, do you want to move His Majesty's inner treasury to the tower?
"Lord Chang'an, this is not because I have not tried my best. It is because the manager has a heart disease that cannot be cured by medicine!"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and take my pulse again!"
Ignorant boy!
What’s the point of taking the pulse again?
Heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine!
Seeing that Ying Chengjiao was looking impatient, he seemed to be about to take action.
Xia Wuqie didn't want to have a conflict with Ying Chengjiao, so he could only put his hand on the manager's wrist again and take his pulse again.
He thought it was a useless effort, but as soon as his finger pressed down, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Huh?"
"How is it?" the oval-faced beauty asked anxiously.
She just watched Ying Chengjiao ask Xia Wuqi to treat the steward, and she didn't even care about her still numb arm and didn't interrupt.
It seemed that the manager's life was more important than her own.
Seeing Xia Wuqie exclaimed "Huh", he was the first to ask.
Xia Wuqi stared at Ying Chengjiao, his face full of surprise: "Chang'an Jun is really amazing! As soon as Chang'an Jun came, the steward's pulse changed. The steward will wake up in a cup of tea at the shortest and half an hour at the longest!"
Ying Chengjiao was not surprised, but looked as if it was a matter of course.
He rolled his eyes, pointed at Xia Wuqie and complained to the girls: "See? I tried my best but couldn't do anything. It's just that the money wasn't enough! Take the money back later. The little money you guys contributed is not worthy of the imperial physician."
"only."
The girls all agreed with this and responded crisply.
Xia Wuqie: ...
He wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
As soon as Ying Chengjiao arrived, the housekeeper's pulse changed. If he had heard about this, he would have been full of doubts.
But the pulse never lies. The housekeeper's pulse had indeed changed, although even she herself could not explain what was going on.
I will not take a penny when I leave. There will be no need to explain anything then. People around me will know my character.
"I apologize for my impoliteness."
Xia Wuqie apologized to the oval-faced beauty and took out a silver needle from her arm - no one saw when the silver needle flew up.
While Xia Wuqie was removing the needle, Ying Chengjiao kept staring at Xia Wuqie's hand, fearing that Xia Wuqie would act like a hooligan.
The oval-faced beauty's arm gradually regained consciousness, and in a moment it was back to normal. She waved her hands and said, "Don't blame the imperial physician. I was reckless."
Xia Wuqi bent over the table and wrote down the prescription, handed it to the oval-faced beauty, and carefully instructed her on how to take the medicine.
He said goodbye to Ying Chengjiao, put his medicine box on his back, and walked out of the room calmly without even looking at the pile of gold on the bed.
"Old man Xia, you forgot to take the money!" Ying Chengjiao shouted.
"This trip is only to save people, not for money!" Xia Wuqie said firmly.
How can a brat like you destroy the moral integrity of me, Xia Wuqie?
As soon as Xia Wuqie left, the girls looked at the hundred gold coins on the bed with envy, and were full of admiration for Xia Wuqie who treated the gold coins as nothing.
"The Imperial Physician doesn't seem to be the kind of person that Lord Jun said."
"This is a real doctor, not like the doctor in Ma Dao Lane who charges ten coins for treating a cold!"
"The Imperial Physician is the Prime Minister of our dynasty. He has seen everything. How could he be as greedy for money as we are?"
Ying Chengjiao looked at Xia Wuqie's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Don't want it? I'll give it to you!
"Someone come!"
The guard who was carrying the bag worth a hundred gold coins came in again.
"exist."
"Pack up the gold, form a team of five, take my badge, and deliver the hundred gold coins to the Imperial Physician's Office. If the eunuch asks, tell them that this is the fee I promised to give to the Imperial Physician to treat the steward."
The Imperial Medical Bureau, an official unit, did not have an office outside the imperial palace like the Prime Minister's Office or the Supreme Court.
The Xianyang Palace was divided into the front palace and the harem. The harem was where the Qin emperor's family lived, while the front palace was the office area, and the Imperial Medical Bureau was located in the front palace.
The Xianyang Palace is not as heavily guarded during the day as it is at night, but there are still many patrols.
Ying Chengjiao asked these guards to deliver the 100-gold consultation fee to the Imperial Medical Bureau. These guards would encounter at least seven or eight interceptions along the way.
By the time the hundred gold coins arrive at the Imperial Medical Bureau, everyone will know that Xia Wuqie accepted the hundred gold coins from Ying Chengjiao for medical treatment.
"only."
The guard responded, looked at Bai Jin with burning eyes, and put the Bai Jin into the bag with trembling hands.
"My lord, the imperial physician ordered that we don't want it, so why did you force it to be sent to us?" a beautiful lady said delicately.
"You guys don't know anything. How much strength can a doctor like the Imperial Physician have? This hundred gold coins weighs more than 150 kilograms. I can't even lift it, so how can the Imperial Physician lift it? If you don't believe me, wait until the guards have finished loading it, and then you can try to lift it. Whoever can lift it and walk out of this room will get the hundred gold coins."
In the Qin Dynasty, one jin was 250 grams, and two jins were equal to one jin today. One hundred and fifty jins at that time was equivalent to seventy-five jins today. A group of delicate ladies were powerless.
There was a monetary reward, and the girls' eyes lit up.
If they could lift this, they wouldn't have to worry about anything in their lives.
When the guards had finished loading, they all ran over to pick it up. Even the oval-faced beauty tried many times.
But no matter how hard they tried, they had difficulty even lifting the bag, let alone carrying it out of the house.
There was a beauty who held her breath and turned B into C, which allowed the burden to leave the ground for a moment.
Before I took a step, I couldn't hold my breath any longer.
As soon as the air was released, the ball turned into a bun and the bundle fell to the ground.
There must be a reason why Ying Chengjiao dared to say this.
In order to entertain guests, prostitutes in brothels need to keep their bodies slim.
Although most of the food is provided by the guests and is excellent, you cannot eat too much.
They eat too much and get fat. Once they are not liked by the guests and no one takes orders and their performance does not meet the standards, they have to leave the building.
Moreover, they stay in this building all year round and do no other exercise except the necessary lying down with legs spread out.
I don’t eat much and I don’t exercise, so my muscles have atrophied. How can I have the strength to carry a bag that weighs the equivalent of 75 kilograms in modern times?
What people said later about how you can't lift 200 kilograms of cement, but you can't carry 500 kilograms of gold is pure nonsense.
Of course, this does not apply to those who have opened their genetic locks.
The women watched the guards carrying their bags away with reluctance, and at that moment they wished they had changed their gender.
"I see."
"I thought he was a man of high character."
"Thank you, Lord. Otherwise, I'm afraid the steward would be sad today."
The women chattered around Ying Chengjiao for a while. The oval-faced beauty also complimented Ying Chengjiao a few words, and then went to the bedside to see the housekeeper.
She still looked at the housekeeper with some worry, and saw a pair of very familiar eyes, completely different from those of women like them, with a heroic look in them.
The housekeeper lying on the bed opened her eyes at some point, and the oval-faced beauty looked into the housekeeper's eyes.
