Chapter 672 Changes
There were five large gold ingots, each weighing about ten taels. Manbao opened his mouth wide and looked at each other in surprise with his friends.
Bai Shan's face darkened. Man Bao closed the box, thought for a moment, and said, "No reward without merit. Let's go back."
Bai Shan nodded, "Mine, just let Daji send it back, how do you return yours?"
Manbao pondered for a moment and said, "Send it to Jishitang and ask Old Zheng, the shopkeeper, to return it."
She looked down at the box of gold and said, "After I gave the gold away, I have to tell Old Zheng, the shopkeeper, about this."
After all, she was able to enter because of Doctor Ji, and Doctor Ji was the doctor of Jishidiang. She didn't know what the meaning of this gold was, nor did she want to know.
Manbao picked up the box and called Zhou Silang and Zhou Lijun: "Fourth brother, take all the things out. Let's go to Jishitang."
Zhou Silang reluctantly took his eyes off the gold box. Knowing that it was too hot to handle, he quickly took out the other gift boxes.
Bai Shan and Daji also took out their gift boxes, and Bai Erlang and the cook hurried to help.
Fortunately, the cook also knew that the gifts should not be mixed, so although the gifts for both of them were piled up in the main room, they were divided into two piles so that they would not be messy when everyone moved them.
After putting all the gifts in the car, Bai Shan wrote a note in reply, saying that he would not accept gifts without merit and that he felt unworthy of these things.
"Send the things over. If they don't accept them, just leave them there and leave like you did to the Ying family." Bai Shan was very rude and a little upset to the Ying family for causing him trouble. At this time, they should prepare to take a bath and then go to the river to wash clothes and play in the water.
Come back and read a book, write a little, or play on the wall before getting ready for bed.
As a result of the Ying family's action, their plans were completely messed up.
Bai Shan has never been polite to people who cause trouble for him.
Manbao's situation was even more difficult than his. He just had to hand in the invitation, but Manbao had to go to Jishidiang with Zhou Silang in person.
After all, compared to Zhou Silang, Shopkeeper Zheng would definitely trust her more, and this matter was not a small matter, so Manbao was a little worried about Doctor Ji.
She climbed into the carriage, and Zhou Silang's carriage left first.
After leaving the alley, the two cars separated, one heading north and the other heading south.
When they arrived at Jishiditang, the shopkeeper, Old Zheng, was not in the front hall. Manbao asked Xiao Gu, who was guarding the counter, "Brother Xiao Gu, where is the shopkeeper, Old Zheng?"
Xiao Gu quietly pointed to the backyard.
Manbao paused, leaned forward and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
"Shopkeeper Zheng is in a bad mood," Xiao Gu asked in a low voice, "Why are you here at this time?"
"Something's going on," Manbao replied vaguely, then asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"
Xiao Gu shook his head. "At noon, someone gave the shopkeeper a generous gift, and then the shopkeeper was unhappy."
Manbao frowned slightly, took the box containing gold from Zhou Silang and went to the backyard.
Even though it only has five ingots, it is actually quite heavy.
When they arrived at the backyard, the shopkeeper, Old Zheng, and Doctor Xiao Ji were sitting there in silence.
Seeing Manbao come in, they were both a little surprised, "Why are you here at this time?"
Manbao placed the box on the table between them, opened it, and said, "It's a gift from the Ying family."
Seeing the familiar gold ingot and the familiar box, Dr. Xiao Ji was so angry that he slammed the table, stood up, turned around and rushed out.
Shopkeeper Lao Zheng quickly shouted, "Stop! What are you going to do?"
Doctor Xiao Ji's chest heaved with anger. He said, "Where else can we go? Throw those things at the Ying family's door."
"Nonsense," Shopkeeper Old Zheng shouted, "Don't you think things aren't chaotic enough right now? How do you compare to the Yizhou Palace? How do you compare to the Ji family?"
Zhou Silang stood aside and looked at them blankly.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng also saw him, but he treated him as one of his own and did not shy away from him. He sighed deeply and said, "The things must be returned, but not in this way."
He frowned and said, "Bring the things here later, together with Manbao's, and I will personally deliver them to the Ying family."
Manbao looked at this, then that, scratched his head and asked, "It's just a return of gift, why are you so angry? Although it is annoying to force a gift like this."
Doctor Xiao Ji clenched his fist and said, "What do you know? The Ying family also gave me a post."
"What post?"
"A post to enter the Imperial Hospital!"
Manbao exclaimed, "Wow!" and looked at him suspiciously, "Can I enter the Imperial Hospital just by showing the post?"
Doctor Xiao Ji blushed and said, "Of course you have to take the exam, but if you fail, you can join the Imperial Hospital as an assistant and then slowly learn from the imperial doctors there."
"Then why is it for you and not for Doctor Ji?" Man Bao paused and stroked his chin. "Even if this letter is to be given, it should be given by the Ji family. Why is the Ying family so proactive?"
She opened her mouth slightly and asked, "Is Ji Hao dead?"
Shopkeeper Old Zheng glared at her and said, "Keep your voice down."
He paused and said, "He's not dead, but he has a fever. For a patient with such trauma, once he has a fever, the chance of survival is less than 20%. The Ying family is looking for a scapegoat in advance."
Manbao was startled and asked, "Are they going to use Doctor Ji as a scapegoat?"
"I don't know which one it is, and the Ying family won't discuss it with us, but there are four doctors treating the illness, one of whom is the imperial physician. Besides him, Doctor Ji's medical skills are the best."
Manbao was angry: "The Ji family will not agree."
"The government has already ruled that. The Ying family didn't expect the Ji family to agree." Old Zheng, the shopkeeper, looked at Manbao and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you should go out of town. Go home, or anywhere else. Didn't you say you wanted to see the herbs in their fresh state? How about I give you the addresses of some herbal farmers and you go find them?"
Manbao turned and left, "Fourth brother, let's move all the gifts in."
Shopkeeper Old Zheng sneered and said to Doctor Ji, "This little thing doesn't appreciate it. If Old Ji hadn't dragged her into this vortex, I wouldn't bother with this."
Manbao and Zhou Silang brought in all the gifts, and among them was the pile of gifts from Old Zheng, the shopkeeper. He asked, "When will you send them?"
Shopkeeper Lao Zheng: "It's better to send it now than not."
Manbao said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have just put it outside the door. We have to move in and move out again."
"You didn't ask me." Shopkeeper Old Zheng was used to bickering with her. After she had said this, he felt a little better, and the stone pressing on his heart didn't seem so heavy anymore.
Manbao and Zhou Silang resigned themselves to their fate and moved all the gifts out.
Xiao Gu behind the counter watched them move things in and out as if they were fools. Who knew that after a while, the shopkeeper Lao Zheng and Doctor Xiao Ji also moved things out. Now Xiao Gu could no longer sit still and hurried out of the counter to help.
The next update will be around 8pm
