Upon transmigration, Chu Ci became the wronged true daughter in a story of a true and false young lady. Forced medicine, substitute marriage, then exile—a triple threat?
No fear, no fear. Wit...
Chapter 105 Tuition
"It's so ugly! But it's indeed sutured." This was Duan Weihe's first reaction when he saw the wound.
Upon hearing this, the Purple-Robed Envoy glared at Duan Weihe fiercely before asking Jin Ming, who was standing beside him, "Do you understand?"
Duan Weihe and Yuan Xu, what a despicable trick, but I'm so envious. Then the two stared at Jin Ming, trying to get an answer from him.
Jin Ming wasn't intimidated by the three bosses staring at him, though he felt a little embarrassed. "I roughly understand, but understanding is different from actually putting it into practice."
I understand. My eyes say I can do it, but my hands say, I can’t do it. Don’t brag.
Hearing this answer, the Purple Envoy was not angry. He simply said, "From today on, you will stay here until Huai Jin recovers."
Damn, this is blatantly stealing someone's skills. Chu Ci immediately refused to accept the offer: "I can stay, but the tuition fee is fifty taels. Who can pay for it?"
The Purple-Robed Envoy would take advantage of the situation and said, "Fifty taels per person, anyone can do it as long as they can afford it."
Even Duan Weihe and Yuan Xu asked excitedly, "We can also pay money. Can we also send people over?"
The three of them wanted to take advantage of Chu Ci's verbal loopholes to trick him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ci's answer was beyond the three's expectations. "Sure, as long as they are doctors from the Great Zhou, they will be fine."
At this point, Chu Ci paused for a moment, then continued, "If you're a female doctor, you can get a discount after enrolling in the Women's College. One place is only thirty taels. It also comes with the opportunity for future training. You three can help promote it."
Purple Envoy: ...
Duan Weihe: ...
Yuan Xu: ...
Just when the three people were confused by the purple robe, Doctor Hua even gave Chu Ci some advice: "The female doctor in the palace should also be useful."
Although Divine Doctor Hua's words were cryptic, Chu Ci understood them. However, he didn't hold out much hope: "How could it be so easy for a female doctor in the palace to leave the palace?"
Doctor Hua said naturally, "Aren't there so many important people here?"
Chu Ci also looked at the three men, seemingly panicking. They might have been able to use some methods elsewhere, but the female doctor was in the emperor's inner palace.
They still want to keep their lives and live a few more years!
"No, we don't have that ability." The three of them no longer cared about their face and admitted defeat readily.
Yuan Xu even betrayed the midwife his mother had supported for years for his wife and daughter. He said, "Actually, a female doctor isn't necessary. If you're talking about experience, midwives who work in wealthy families are no less experienced. I have one at home, so why not let her come over and give it a try?"
Chu Ci was worried about where to find a midwife with superb skills!
Someone had already offered this to him, so Chu Ci immediately gave Yuan Xu a thumbs-up: "General Yuan, you are this."
After the praise, Chu Ci didn't forget to make a promise, "Uncle Duan, I promise you 200 kilograms of alcohol and 20 mu of potato seeds. It's not easy for you to come all the way here, so I'll give you 200 kilograms of alcohol and 30 mu of potato seeds. What do you think?"
Yuan Xu: Are negotiations this quick and easy these days? Is he out of touch, or is the world changing too fast?
Chu Ci's performance indeed exceeded his expectations.
Similarly, he also thought that benefits that came to your door should not be pushed away.
However, compared to Duan Weihe, who had a natural trust in Chu Ci because of his son, Yuan Xu was much more cautious.
"Then what else can I do for you?" Although the tone was very tactful, everyone present knew what Yuan Xu was doing.
Chu Ci sighed. This was why she didn't want to deal with these so-called big shots. They were too defensive.
"You have to do the same as Uncle Duan and protect the future of the women's college. As for the extra money, it is your reward to the midwife." Chu Ci was also very straightforward. Since the other party was unwilling to use favors, then just treat it as a deal.
Yuan Xu felt a little embarrassed by Chu Ci's blunt statement of his feelings, but he also appreciated Chu Ci's tact.
Therefore, on the second day after Yuan Xu arrived, he and Duan Weihe signed a long-term cooperation contract with the Future Women's College in the presence of the Fifth Prince, the Purple Envoy, and Zhang Yaoyang.
Things were going too smoothly, and Yuan Xu felt a little disappointed.
But the Zhendong Army had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, so he could only leave a badge representing his identity and leave in a hurry.
Duan Weihe's situation is better than Yuan Xu's, but he can't stay for long.
After all, the fifth prince is here, and it would be bad if the emperor misunderstood him.
However, Duan Weihe heard that alcohol was not easy to obtain, so he took the initiative to propose dividing the delivery times into four times.
Chu Ci would naturally not refuse this small request, or fail to gain knowledge.
After the matter was done, Duan Weihe had no reason to stay any longer. So, following Yuan Xu, Duan Weihe also left early the next morning.
However, before leaving, he repeatedly reminded her that she must write to him as soon as the suture technique was mastered, or let Duan Tianji go there.
Chu Ci naturally would not refuse, since Duan Tianji was there to take charge if anything happened.
To be honest, after such a lively few days, Chu Ci was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden quietness.
She lay bored on the lounge chair in the middle of the yard, looking very decadent.
Until I heard a voice: "Sister-in-law——"
Chu Ci thought she was hallucinating at first, until another voice rang in her ears: "Your sister-in-law has such a leisurely life, I really envy her!"
Chu Ci suddenly opened his eyes, "Sister, Qianyan, why are you here?"
"It's all because someone didn't keep his word and tricked everyone into helping with the work, but we didn't expect that person to never come back." Fan Qianxi joked in a complaining tone.
Even Qianyan said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten about us?"
"How could that be? I'm just too busy. You don't know how bad the officials in Lianzhou are..." In order to divert attention, Chu Ci exaggerated the actions of the Lianzhou governor by more than ten times.
During this period, Chu Ci also smuggled a lot of private goods.
Qianxi was originally a talented woman, but because the Fan family was exiled, she no longer had the old-fashioned attitude she used to have. Now that she was fooled by Chu Ci, she immediately became very passionate and wanted to stay.
Seeing that her elder sister Qianxi wanted to stay, Qianyan naturally did not want to be outdone. "I don't care. If my elder sister stays, I will stay too."
"Okay, everyone stay." Chu Ci answered straightforwardly.
Qianxi and Qianyan hesitated. Chu Ci knew what they were worried about. He immediately comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, leave this matter to your husband. Grandpa and grandma won't have any objections."
Hearing that the old man and the old lady would not be angry, Qianyan's eyes flashed, and she pulled Chu Ci's sleeve and started to act coquettishly. "Then sister-in-law, can you let Qianxun come too?"
"Qianxue, can you bear to leave?" Chu Ci understood that Qianxi and Qianyan could leave, but for Qianxue, Chu Ci didn't think that the little girl could bear to leave her parents.
