Sure enough, three to five days after Liu Ajiao made those remarks, she sent someone to find Qiao Jingjing.
Tell her to make a special trip to Liu.
Qiao Jingjing wasn't originally going.
Upon hearing that the famous doctor who came was named Hua Tuo, they were immediately struck by the news.
People today may not fully understand Hua Tuo's fame.
Qiao Jingjing knows.
This person was the first to use Mafeisan (麻沸散) in surgery, setting a precedent for anesthetics.
Qiao Jingjing happily led Lü Meng there.
Hua Tuo had just finished treating Liu Ajiao.
Why did Liu Ajiao invite Hua Tuo? It turns out that she had been married to Yuan Yao for many years but had not been able to have a child.
Although her father-in-law had passed away, her husband was still a young man. Under the protection of her father, Liu Xun, whether he could handle the situation or not, the Yuan family still had such a large family.
The Yuan family, including Uncle Yuan Yin and Brother-in-law Huang Yi, still wield considerable influence.
Who knows, he might make a comeback someday.
As a woman, Liu Ajiao couldn't have divorced her husband and remarried someone else since she hadn't given birth to a son in a short period of time.
It's still about getting sick, seeking medical treatment, and getting medicine.
After examining Liu Ajiao, Hua Tuo prescribed several remedies and told her to take good care of herself.
"Young Madam's illness is still mild. Given time and careful treatment, she will surely recover."
At this moment, Qiao Jingjing was already waiting outside.
Liu Ajiao then asked Hua Tuo to examine Qiao Jingjing's face.
"Sir, I have a friend who has a scar on her face, which has kept her from getting married for many years. Could you please take a look at her? If it can be cured, then do so. If it cannot be cured, then don't force it. It is her fate."
Liu Ajiao had already received her father's approval ten days earlier to invite Hua Tuo to treat her.
Liu Xun had long heard that Hua Tuo was highly regarded among high-ranking officials and nobles, so he casually instructed Liu Ajiao to also examine Qiao Jingjing's face.
"My dear daughter, you are the most sensible. Look at your father now, managing so many people, yet there's no one to manage the inner quarters. And now that we've found a suitable one, he's even sullen. My dear daughter, put aside your dislike. Let Hua Tuo come and take a look at her! I only ask this one thing of you! If you agree, you can choose any good house in Lujiang City, as many servants and soldiers as you want, and even promote your son-in-law, okay?"
Liu Ajiao knew in her heart that the scars on her skin would not heal properly.
She also did her father a favor, fooled Qiao Jingjing, and even got her husband promoted.
How wonderful!
That's why Qiao Jingjing was allowed to meet this Mr. Hua Tuo.
Mr. Hua was no longer young. Due to his years of practicing medicine and the turmoil of the times, even though his medical skills could have allowed him to live a life of luxury and comfort in the homes of the wealthy, he preferred to travel like many itinerant doctors, treating people from all walks of life. He treated the penniless poor, saving them from the brink of death, without charging a penny, and even giving them medicine for free. Of course, he also solved difficult and complicated illnesses for high-ranking officials and nobles.
For example, Liu Xun's daughter was infertile.
Mr. Hua carefully examined the injuries on Qiao Jingjing's face and then invited her to extend her hand so he could take her pulse.
“The young lady is in good health and has a cheerful and carefree spirit. Just follow my method, and the marks on her face will be completely gone in less than three months.”
Can it be completely eliminated?
Upon hearing this, Liu Ajiao jumped out from inside.
Hua Tuo has already prescribed medicine, including both oral and topical remedies.
The prescription was delivered to Qiao Jingjing.
Liu Xun was overjoyed.
When Liu Xun learned that the scar on Qiao Jingjing's face might heal, he once again carefully inquired about the fortune teller's opinion.
However, the fortune teller did not agree at all, asking if he could take a look at Da Qiao's face first.
Qiao Jingjing has been taking medicine and receiving treatment from the legendary physician Hua Tuo these past few days.
The fortune teller quickly took a look at Lord Liu Xun's face.
He said that Lord Liu looked radiant, and good things were about to happen.
"Something even better is coming for Lord Liu soon."
Lord Liu asked, "Is it about household matters?"
Could this be a sign that he's about to marry a beautiful woman?
The fortune teller shook his head meaningfully.
Lord Liu then asked, "Could it be a promotion and a bright future in your official career?"
The fortune teller gave a meaningful smile, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Lord Liu then asked, "Lujiang City is already so well-equipped with troops and horses. Do you think I, at my age, can still expand my territory and become a regional hegemon?"
The fortune teller's smile deepened, and he simply said with a smile, "Farewell."
Liu Xun specially summoned a fortune teller, spent a lot of money, and got this result.
He pondered it for several days.
He then chatted with his subordinates about what the fortune teller had said.
His subordinates all said that Lord Liu should no longer focus his attention on that woman.
"Now, Lord Liu has just acquired Yuan Shu's forces. Although they are remnants of his army, even a starved camel is stronger than a horse. In addition, with the abundant resources accumulated in our Lujiang City, we are now strong enough to rival Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north."
Liu Xun thought about it for a moment.
In the north, there were Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Jiangdong had Sun Ce, Jingzhou had Liu Biao, and Yizhou had Liu Zhang.
Everyone south of the Yangtze River is surnamed Liu, except for Sun Ce.
It's this Sun Ce!
Now, Sun Ce's power should not be underestimated.
Just as Liu Xun was thinking about Sun Ce, that troublemaker, Sun Ce sent someone to deliver a letter.
Sun Ce was extremely humble and respectful in his letter.
He respectfully addressed Liu Xun as Lord Liu.
Sun Ce said that he was young and ignorant back then. How could a young man who had just entered the world be qualified to be the governor of such a large area as Lujiang?
