Chapter 186 Another Bad News (asking for monthly ticket)
"These days I have asked someone to find a doctor in Shu who specializes in eye diseases. Today he will take a look at Sister Mianmian." Chang Suining explained the reason, his tone just like a casual conversation.
"A doctor from Shu?" Qiao Yumian was surprised: "Ningning, when did this happen? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
She had long given up hope on curing her eye disease, and Ningning had never mentioned this matter in front of her, but unexpectedly, she found a doctor for her in private.
Moreover, it was found from the distant Shu, which shows that it was not an overnight achievement and it took a lot of thought.
"Why bring him up when you haven't found him yet?" Chang Suining said with a smile, "We are just here to take a look. We don't know if he has any real skills yet, so how can we brag to my sister too early?"
"Ningning, I understand..." Qiao Yumian held Chang Suining's arm, her voice choked with emotion, "You're afraid that I'll have too much hope and end up with nothing. Don't worry, that won't happen."
She added: "It's just that Ningning, you treat me so well and think so much about me. As your sister, I am really useless. I don't know how to repay your kindness."
Cui Lang, who was following behind with his ears perked up, felt inexplicably nervous and excited.
If that were the case, if Miss Qiao knew that he was also looking for a doctor for her, would she treat him the same way...
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chang Suining said, "Sister, you don't have to take it to heart, it's such a trivial matter."
Cui Lang hesitated to speak. It’s not a small matter, it’s still worth taking it seriously...Master, please give him a chance.
But he didn't expect that his chance would come just as he said it.
"Oh, right." Chang Suining turned around and looked at Cui Lang while talking, and asked casually, "The people I sent told me that when they were looking for a doctor in Shu, they met someone who was also looking for the whereabouts of a doctor who was good at treating eye diseases. He was also from the capital. After paying attention, I found out that he was Cui Liulang's man--"
Cui Lang was startled when he heard this.
His people bumped into the master's people? Meeting the master's eyes, Cui Lang nodded randomly: "Ah, yes, yes... that's true."
"Why did Cui Liulang also look for a doctor who specializes in treating eye diseases?" Qiao Yubai couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that someone in your family has an eye disease?"
Seeing Qiao Yumian also turning her head to "look" at him, Cui Lang was startled and answered in panic: "Yes... it's my father!"
Yihu: “?!”
Qiao Yubai was very surprised: "Your father..."
Is the eldest son of the Cui family blind?
"..." Cui Lang slapped himself twice in his heart and quickly said, "My father is old and his eyesight is not very good. He can't see things clearly..."
This is true. After all, when my father saw my eldest brother, he did have some serious eye diseases.
But why did he answer like that just now? Was he possessed by a ghost? He was clearly not a timid person, and what he did was clearly not something bad that could not be seen in public, but why did he not dare to admit it when he saw those eyes just now? Cui Lang sighed in his heart for his own disappointment.
At this moment, the soft and pleasant voice of the young girl was heard: "Has Cui Liulang found a good doctor for your father?"
Cui Lang laughed dryly: "Not yet..."
Qiao Yumian turned to Chang Suining and asked, "Then, Ningning..."
Chang Suining nodded in understanding and looked at Cui Lang: "After the doctor from Shuzhong has examined Sister Mianmian, I will discuss with him and ask him to go with Cui Liulang to examine your father."
Cui Lang's scalp tingled and he forced a smile: "...Okay! Thank you, Master!"
Yihu: "..."
What should I do?
Chang Suining's words just now, "I don't know how much real ability he has," were meant for Qiao Yumian to hear. He was afraid that Qiao Yumian would have too high hopes, so he didn't dare to speak too confidently.
But how could a doctor who was invited from thousands of miles away to the capital really have no real skills?
In her previous life, she had met this doctor named Sun when she was marching through Shu. That day, when she was walking in the market in plain clothes, she happened to see him cure a child whose eyes were accidentally injured by gunpowder.
She always liked to recruit talented people. Seeing that he was so young but had such extraordinary medical skills, she claimed to be a young general in Xuan Ce's army and tried to persuade him to join the army as a military doctor, but was politely rejected.
The other party said very little, and she patiently followed up for several days before asking the following questions:
The other party claimed that he was not a regular doctor and only knew about eye diseases. He was extremely afraid of noise and was not good at dealing with people. He would feel uncomfortable in crowded places and only liked to be alone.
If he were asked to stay in a crowded and noisy military camp all year round, he might end up not being able to cure others and go crazy himself. Then he would have to pay a doctor to cure his madness.
After hearing this, she didn't want to force it. After all, there was no doctor in her camp who was good at treating madness.
He only asked the other party's name, and told him that if he encountered difficulties one day, he could go to Xuan Ce's army for help. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who commanded the Xuan Ce army, was eager for talent and was kind and honest. In short, he praised himself a lot, just to make a good relationship with others and leave a good impression.
She did not wait for Doctor Sun to ask her for help, as he probably did not have any difficulties. Instead, it was she, the Crown Prince, who was the first to encounter misfortune and died twice in succession. It was really fate that played tricks on her.
Although she never saw him again, she was deeply impressed by Dr. Sun, who was overly introverted and afraid of dealing with people.
When she first heard about Qiao Yumian's eye disease, she thought of this person, but it had been so many years and she didn't know whether he was still alive. She had no choice but to try and look for him.
The search lasted more than half a year. Fortunately, the result was lucky. The other party had been staying in Shu all these years and had not moved far away. After inquiring and visiting many places, Chang Ren and his team actually found him not long ago. He just arrived in Beijing yesterday and stayed in Chang's mansion.
Chang Suining met him yesterday. Because the other party only said a dozen words in half an hour, she was sure that this was the Doctor Sun from that year.
Therefore, during today's consultation, Chang Suining said that it was just a try, but he actually held great hope in his heart.
Doctor Sun, who was just in his early forties but looked younger than his actual age, examined Qiao Yumian and did not say anything explicitly. He just wrote two prescriptions, one for decoction and one for medicinal bath, and told her to recuperate for a while first.
I didn’t say the treatment was good, nor did I say it was bad.
Qiao Yumian knew the answer in her heart and did not ask any more questions. She just bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, doctor."
Afterwards, Chang Suining went to the corridor to talk with Doctor Sun.
"...We have delayed too long, and I am not 100% sure. I can only give it a try." Doctor Sun said in a low voice.
Chang Suining nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Sun to stay in Beijing for a while longer!" Cui Lang walked over with a grin on his face, his smile very bright and enthusiastic.
He raised his hand and saluted towards Doctor Sun: "Junior Cui Lang, I know all the delicious and fun places in Beijing. Doctor Sun, just stay here and I will take care of everything else!"
Doctor Sun, who was not good at dealing with people, had his pupils tremble slightly when facing this enthusiastic young man. He felt fear in his heart and his palms were sweating.
Cui Lang did not notice the restraining look from his master, and continued to ask with a grin: "What do you like to do for fun? What kind of food do you like to eat? Is there any..."
Doctor Sun finally couldn't help but waved his hand: "No need, I just like quiet..."
Cui Lang let out an "ah" and immediately closed his mouth.
This requirement is a bit difficult for him, but he can try hard.
Chang Suining told Xier to take Doctor Sun to the back hall to sit alone and drink tea.
Doctor Sun left as if he had been pardoned.
After the man had gone far away, Cui Lang could not help but ask: "Master, this doctor seems to be afraid of talking to people... How did you convince him to come to the capital?"
Chang Suining: "I have people visit him every day."
Cui Lang was surprised: "...Great."
Chang Suining only said half of her words. In addition to the visit, she also gave the other party a large sum of money.
Doctor Sun usually only had one acre of thin land to farm. Because he was afraid of greeting others, he had to sneak into the fields when no one was around to do farm work. He was too embarrassed to complain to others when he encountered trouble. As a result, his thin land became even thinner, and he was short of money and lived a tight life.
He wanted to make a living but couldn't show up in public, and everyone around him knew his temper, so no one would easily seek him out for medical treatment.
She promised him that if he could cure Sister Mianmian's eyes, she would give him an exceptionally generous medical fee, so that he would not have to work in public for the rest of his life.
Faced with this soul-stirring temptation, Dr. Sun agreed reluctantly.
Not long after, Qiao Yumian came out accompanied by her brother.
Cui Lang hurried forward.
Chang Suining saw this scene and seemed to be thinking about something.
"… Cui Liulang hasn't gone back yet?" Qiao Yumian said, "Since we need to see your father, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Cui Lang's smile froze slightly when he heard this, revealing a moved yet bitter smile.
He was touched that Miss Qiao cared so much about his family, and was sad that his father's eyes were so intact and healthy.
But the current situation did not allow him to change his mind and refuse.
Soon, Cui Lang took Doctor Sun and got on the carriage back to the Cui family.
Sitting opposite someone in such a closed space, Doctor Sun's eyes were evasive and his body was tense.
Cui Lang also felt uneasy and hesitated to speak.
Yihu, who was serving on the side, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face from time to time.
In this strange and indescribable atmosphere, the carriage arrived at the Cui family.
Doctor Sun followed Cui Lang to Cui Wei's residence without saying a word.
Cui Lang learned that his father was in the study. To be on the safe side, he said, "Doctor Sun, wait a moment. Let me go in and talk first..."
He went in first to explore the way.
Doctor Sun nodded and waited at the stone steps outside the study.
Not long after, the sound of cups being broken came from the study, which scared Doctor Sun.
"...You bastard, get out!"
Cui Lang was scolded out like this.
The study was spacious, divided into two rooms, the inner and outer rooms. Cui Lang secretly asked Mrs. Lu, who had come out with him, from the outer room: "Mother, what is wrong with father?"
If you don't want to look at him, then don't look at him. Why would you throw something at him? "You also know how to pick the time..." Madam Lu glanced at the inner room and lowered her voice, "I heard that your elder brother will lead his army to the northern border tomorrow and will not be able to return for several years... He is very angry."
Cui Lang was worried when he heard this: "Father was upset when my elder brother was in the capital. Now that my elder brother is leaving, why is he making a fuss again?"
Mrs. Lu sighed: "What do you know? The fault is all your elder brother's."
She said, "Da Lang's mistake was that he didn't come back home from Xuan Ce's mansion, kneeling and kowtowing, and then kneeling outside this study for three days and three nights in front of all the clansmen, begging your father to agree to let him go to the Northern Territory... On the third day, your father came out of the study and said 'no' with a cold face. Your eldest brother agreed and left, and never mentioned going to the Northern Territory again. Only then will this matter be considered complete."
Cui Lang couldn't help but nod in admiration: "...That makes sense."
Then he said, "Then father should be angry."
"You have to be angry for at least 49 days." Mrs. Lu said, looking at her son: "Why are you so crazy? Why did you ask a doctor who is good at treating eye diseases to come to your house for no reason?"
If she didn't know clearly that her son didn't have the courage to do so, she would really suspect that the boy was sarcastically saying that his father was blind and blind - although this was also true.
Cui Lang scratched his head in confusion: "Didn't father say last time that his eyes were uncomfortable?"
"When did he say that?"
"Maybe I remembered it wrongly... I wanted to show my filial piety." Cui Lang sighed: "Since father doesn't need it, I still need to explain to the doctor."
Cui Lang said this and slipped away without waiting for Lu to ask any more questions.
Mrs. Lu stared suspiciously at her son's quickly departing back.
Cui Lang came to Doctor Sun and said with a smile, "Doctor Sun, let's go. We won't see the doctor anymore."
Doctor Sun exclaimed, “Ah!”
Cui Lang smiled shyly: "It turns out that my father's eyesight is fine, I just got it wrong!"
Doctor Sun uttered "Ah" again.
How many fathers does this young man have? How could he even mix them up?
Cui Lang apologized to him: "I'm so sorry... I made you come here for nothing."
Doctor Sun waved his hands quickly.
Today's consultation with the lady from the Qiao family had already exhausted his speech capacity for nearly a year, but he had taken a large sum of money from her and had no choice but to make this trip.
It's good news that the trip was in vain.
But the bad news was that this enthusiastic man insisted on sending him back to the Chang family in person.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, I soon heard another bad news.
The bad news has been reported back to Xingningfang.
"Girl...something happened!"
The maid from the Chang Mansion, who had just seen the Qiao brothers and sisters off, ran back in panic: "My dear, on the way to Xuan Ce's Mansion, he was stopped and taken away by people from the Dali Temple!"
Chang Suining, who was checking the rice account book sent by Shen Sanmao, suddenly closed the book in his hand when he heard this, raised his eyes and asked seriously, "Do you know why?"
If he was just brought in for questioning, the maid wouldn't have panicked to this extent.
"They said that Langjun was involved in the murder of Zhangsun Qi Niangzi... They were ordered to arrest Langjun and take him to the Dali Temple for trial!"
Chang Suining's expression changed.
In the past two days, she had felt that the Dali Temple seemed to have secretly targeted a suspicious person, but she had never thought that the suspected person was actually her brother?! Chang Suining immediately stood up and walked out quickly.
Xier hurriedly followed and asked anxiously, "Where are you going, girl?"
Chang Suining: "Dali Temple."
This matter was extremely strange, just like being suddenly hit by a club. My brother knew nothing, and she knew nothing either. The most urgent thing was to at least understand the situation clearly so that we could deal with it better.
Furthermore, the incident happened suddenly and nothing was known. She was afraid that something might happen to her brother... In the face of the worst possible scenario, taking a detour would be a risk, so she had to go directly to the Dali Temple.
