When Ge Peng heard the doctor say that the ginseng slice that could save his second brother would cost a hundred taels, he did the math in his head.
He had fifty-five taels on him at the time, which he gave to the doctor.
He still owed forty-five taels of silver.
Today, the War King subsidized himself with a total of 110 taels, of which 10 taels were given to his wife for household expenses.
The hundred-tael silver note was still in his pocket.
Let's settle the accounts with the doctor when my second brother is discharged from the hospital.
After figuring it out, Ge Peng began to ask the doctor what he needed to be careful about now that his second brother had regained consciousness.
When the doctor heard Ge Peng's words, he did not answer him directly.
The doctor approached Ge Qiang and took his pulse.
After taking his pulse, the doctor nodded and withdrew his hand, saying to Ge Peng, "Your second brother is out of danger, but he still has a fever. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take and bring the fever down."
The key issue is that he currently has some congestion in his lungs, which he will likely need to be careful about in the future.
I'll prescribe some herbal medicine for you to drink later.
However, I'm afraid I won't be able to do heavy physical labor anymore.
After listening, Ge Peng nodded.
He never intended for his second brother to do any physically demanding work in the future.
He asked the doctor, "Does my second brother still need to be observed at the clinic?"
When the doctor heard him ask this, he said to Ge Peng, "No need for that. He is awake now. I will prescribe some medicine for you to take home and recuperate on your own."
Ge Peng was very happy to hear what the doctor said.
He thought to himself, since the doctor told him to go home and rest, it meant that his second brother's condition was not so serious.
As for recuperation, one can simply go to the mountains to hunt wild animals regularly.
So Ge Peng asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for his second brother, and went to get the medicine himself.
After getting the medicine and paying the money, he gave the old doctor the money he owed for the ginseng slices.
When the old doctor saw the silver, he looked at Ge Peng with suspicion.
Ge Peng saw the old doctor looking at him, and he explained his second brother's situation to the old doctor.
After listening to the whole story, the old doctor patted Ge Qiang on the shoulder and said to the two brothers, "Good job, young man. Although I can't help you much, if you ever have a headache or fever in the future, come to my clinic and I'll give you a 50% discount."
After listening to what the doctor said, Ge Qiang nodded and thanked the doctor.
Ge Peng was quite happy to hear the doctor say that.
After thanking the doctor, he gave the chicken soup to his second brother and handed him a bowl, then carried Ge Qiang to the backyard.
He put Geqiang on the oxcart, went back to get the medicine, and then led his beloved ox home.
When he got home, he cleaned the room where Ge Qiang used to live and then settled Ge Qiang in the room...
Days passed like this. When Ge Peng's wife gave birth to their child, they held a celebration for the baby's one-month birthday.
But after the full moon celebration, for some reason, my second brother began to be depressed and gradually became thinner.
Later on, even his second brother gradually became very quiet.
Ge Peng racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with his second brother. He pressed Ge Qiang for answers, but Ge Qiang kept telling him that nothing was wrong and not to overthink it.
When the child turned one year old, Ge Qiang asked Ge Peng to build him this little house in a corner of the yard...
Ouyang Yuqing sniffed, then turned around and carried Ge Qiang on his back.
When Ge Qiang saw that his master was going to carry him, he said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Your Highness, this is not allowed. How can you let me carry you?"
Upon hearing Ge Qiang's words, Ouyang Yuqing said to Ge Qiang, "From now on, I am your brother. Don't treat me like an outsider."
From now on, I'll make sure you get your share of every bite I eat.
Upon hearing this, Ge Qiang quickly replied, "Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense. Your status is so precious, how can I be on friendly terms with you?"
