Chapter 620 Jiang Nuanzhi: How could I possibly accept this?
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head, clutching her gold tightly. She was so engrossed in the performance that she found herself deeply moved, wiping away tears.
Eunuch Li saw her off for a long distance. Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's appearance, he was moved. The next second, he slapped himself in the face with guilt.
"Dr. Jiang, I'm so sorry! I used to think you were a traitor, but today I realize that we've always been of one mind." As he spoke, he took a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Jiang Nuanzhi's hand. "Although you are now the wife of a general, things are different now, and you probably wouldn't look down on these little trinkets of ours, these are just a small token of our appreciation! I hope Dr. Jiang will accept them. I'm on duty in the palace, so I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the banquet at your residence. Consider this just a cup of tea for the young masters and ladies of your household."
"How could I possibly accept this?" Jiang Nuanzhi wiped away her tears, looking at Eunuch Li with gratitude. "It's not easy for you to serve the Emperor. You're always busy day and night, and you've already cut back on your paychecks. Why don't you save this money to treat yourself to some good food?"
"Thank you for remembering me," said Eunuch Li, thumping his chest loudly. "But this is for you; please don't look down on these humble things from our household..."
As she spoke, as if afraid that Jiang Nuanzhi would refuse, she turned around and tried to leave. While sniffing, she tripped and almost fell.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked twice and glanced at the sachet in her hand. It was quite thick; she must have packed a lot of sachets.
She touched her nose, and for a moment her conscience bothered her. She smiled and stopped the man, taking out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and handing it to him: "This is a blood-activating and meridian-soothing pill that I made earlier. It has a miraculous effect on rheumatism and bone pain. This is for you, Father-in-law."
She chuckled to herself as she spoke, "Having just arrived in the capital, my family's wealth is indeed rather meager. Perhaps these medicines are the only ones that are presentable. Please don't find them offensive, Father-in-law."
"This..." Li Quan glanced at his knees. He had spent years running around the palace, constantly bowing and scraping, and often kneeling. Over time, this had left him with chronic problems in his shoulders, neck, and even wrists. Now, with winter not yet over, the pain in his knees had worsened. He had tried medicine, but it hadn't helped. Now he walked with a slight limp, though it wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely.
Unexpectedly, such a small detail caught the eye of Doctor Jiang. This medicine must have been prepared for him a long time ago!
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment when the Emperor was seriously ill, she still cared about a eunuch like herself. Yet, she always felt that the eunuch was very wicked and had spoken ill of her to the Emperor quite a bit...
Feeling both ashamed and guilty, she looked at Jiang Nuanzhi for a while before wiping her nose and saying, "This... thank you, Doctor Jiang. If you ever need anything from us in the future, just let us know."
As he spoke, looking at Jiang Nuanzhi who was nodding with a slight smile in front of him, he suddenly felt ashamed. His words were really too weak. He immediately added, "If Madam wants to go to the Imperial Household Department to select people, just go and call Xu Feng and ask him to select the best for you. If anyone makes things difficult for you, we will definitely tear them apart."
As she spoke, she still seemed uneasy: "Dr. Jiang, you are a kind-hearted person, unaware of the intricacies involved. Like this..."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then pointed to a young eunuch beside him: "Xiao Xizi, you go with Doctor Jiang on this trip, and you must help him out. If there are any blind fools, just come back and tell me, and I'll deal with them later."
Jiang Nuanzhi never expected such an unexpected gain, and her smile grew even brighter as she watched Eunuch Li leave.
After seeing off Eunuch Li for a short while, I suddenly felt a weight in my hand.
Jiang Nuanzhi froze and turned her head to look over.
The divine physician placed a large bag of silver from his arms into Jiang Nuanzhi's hands, and then searched his own person again—
I took off the top-grade jadeite pendant with floating flowers and gave it to Doctor Jiang.
The black jade thumb ring and the white jade hairpin were both given to Doctor Jiang.
He searched his pockets for a while and found another bottle, which he then stuffed into Jiang Nuanzhi's hands.
"These are all for you, Doctor Jiang! I had no idea you suffered so much in the wilderness back then! If I had known... I wouldn't be human!"
As Doctor Que spoke, his white beard trembled twice. The next second, he pulled the stunned Sanqi over, rummaged through his arms, found the money pouch, and then stuffed it all into Jiang Nuanzhi's hands.
He looked at Jiang Nuanzhi in front of him and said with shame, "I never knew you were so thin because you were never getting enough to eat!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, "How could I forget about that hundred taels? How could I forget?"
As she spoke, seemingly filled with endless regret, she said, "Doctor Jiang, please wait here. The Emperor is alright for now. I'll go back and get you the money! Wait for me, wait for me!"
The next second, before Sanqi could say a word, Doctor Que grabbed her and carried her away at breakneck speed.
The two left Jiang Nuanzhi and Dong Zang standing alone, bewildered in the wind...
"Winter hibernation"
"ah?"
Dongzang, still dazed, withdrew his gaze from the direction where Doctor Que and his companion had left. Turning back to look at the baby in Jiang Nuanzhi's arms, he swallowed hard. "Madam, do you think Doctor Que might take all his wealth? Um, how do you feel about suddenly receiving so much money?"
Jiang Nuanzhi stared at her with a forced smile, making Dongzang feel uneasy.
The next second, he kicked Dongzang in the butt: "How about it? Hurry up and come help me carry it! Do you want to work your wife to death?!"
Dongcang cried out "Ouch!" and, not daring to rub his bottom, immediately ran over to take the things from Jiang Nuanzhi's hands.
Then, pouting in grievance, she followed behind Jiang Nuanzhi.
She just said that it was the lady who insisted on carrying him!
Whose master is carrying gold and silver treasures by himself?
Who doesn't have their personal guards see the rewards first? I've never been a guard, let alone received a reward before the Emperor. I haven't had my fill yet! And my master insists on carrying me. Doesn't he care about losing face?
Of course, she didn't dare say it aloud; she only dared to steal a glance.
Just then, the woman in front of him suddenly turned around and looked at him. Dongzang was startled and immediately forced a big smile.
"Madam, please be careful when you walk, watch your step. But it's okay if you're not careful, as long as you fall. Even though Dongzang is carrying so many things, he will definitely rush forward to cushion your fall and make sure you don't get hurt even a little bit."
As she said this, she laughed heartily.
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow and pinched Dongzang's cheek: "So well-behaved."
