Chapter 63 Wei Family Chief Steward
"The Wei family is the most prominent family in the city, but it is more than just a family in the county."
"In fact, the Wei family's influence is not only spread throughout the state, but it is even rumored that it has connections in the royal capital."
"Mr. Lu, how can I not be afraid of such a big family?"
After hearing Ma Gu's story, Lu Qing finally understood why he was so in awe of the Wei family.
But he was still a little confused. "Since the Wei family is so powerful, why is it relegated to a small county government?"
"I'm not sure about this." Ma Gu shook his head, "Maybe it's because our Cang County is where the Wei family made its fortune."
"And as far as I know, most of the Wei family's industrial power has actually been transferred to the state capital and the royal capital. What remains in the county capital is only an ancestral home and a few unimportant industries."
"However, the head of the Wei family has always lived in the ancestral home. I don't know why."
"Of course, even if most of the Wei family's assets have been transferred out, its position in the county government is still unshakable by other families."
It seems that the Wei family has a secret.
Lu Qing seemed to be thinking about something.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain such strange behavior.
As the head of a family, he would rather stay in a small county than go to a more prosperous provincial capital or royal capital.
However, no matter what the secret is, he is not able to pry into it now.
So Lu Qing simply skipped over this matter.
However, upon hearing that the Wei family was so powerful, he felt a little relieved.
Given the Wei family's financial resources, I believe they will not be short of precious medicinal materials.
As long as the two guards are fast enough, Young Master Wei should be able to survive the night and survive.
In fact, the speed of the two guards was much faster than Lu Qing expected.
Because there are critically ill patients, I don’t know when the master will help to make medicine.
So that night, Lu Qing did not go home, but stayed in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
At night, Lu Qing sat on a chair, holding Xiaoyan and feeling drowsy, while the little one was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Suddenly, he was awakened by a noise outside.
Seeing that Xiaoyan didn't wake up, he carried her to his master's room, let her fall asleep first, and then walked out.
When I went outside, I saw that the yard was brightly lit and there were a lot more people there.
On both sides of the yard, more than a dozen burly men were standing in two rows, holding lanterns, lighting up the yard.
Lu Qing saw that the guard Li was lowering his head and whispering something to a middle-aged man with a dignified face.
"You mean to say that the young master is too seriously injured to move freely?"
After listening to Guard Li's report, the majestic middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, Chief Steward, Doctor Chen said that the young master's condition is not very good now. It is best for him to rest here for the time being. After he wakes up and feels better, it would be best to return home." Guard Li replied.
"I want to go in and see the young master."
The majestic man known as the chief steward did not agree immediately, but made a request.
Guard Li immediately looked at Doctor Chen.
The old doctor nodded and said, "Only one or two people can go in. If there are too many people, it will be bad for the young master. He might get evil spirits into his body."
Hearing this, the majestic man immediately said, "You all wait outside, and only Doctor Chen and I will go in."
"Yes, Chief Steward."
Watching the two people disappear in the room, Lu Qing's eyes were filled with shock.
He murmured in his heart: "Internal Viscera Realm..."
In the ward, as soon as he arrived at the bedside and saw the young master with a pale face, closed eyes and slightly cracked lips, the Wei family's chief steward's heart tightened.
After seeing the wound on the young man's abdomen, his brows furrowed even more.
Before coming, he thought that those two bastards wanted to shirk responsibility and that was why they exaggerated the young master's injuries.
Now it seems that those two bastards not only did not lie, but also downplayed the severity of their injuries.
His life has been saved and his condition is stable.
The chief steward, who also knew some medical knowledge, could see that the young master's current condition was really at the point where his life was hanging by a thread and he might die at any time.
This was after the doctor's treatment. I can't imagine what condition the young master was in before this.
Remembering the instructions given by the head of the family, the Wei family's chief steward turned around and bowed deeply to the old doctor.
"Thank you, Doctor Chen, for saving my son's life. The Wei family will definitely remember this kindness."
"That's not necessary. I'm just doing my duty as a doctor." The old doctor waved his hand. "Besides, your Excellency is not completely out of danger yet. It's too early to say anything about this now."
The Wei family’s chief steward hurriedly said, “I heard that the old doctor needs ginseng and Panax notoginseng? Before I came out, the family head specially ordered me to fetch a lot of herbs. Please follow me to choose the herbs.”
"Oh, the ginseng is here?"
The old doctor perked up.
Although he is a skilled doctor, he cannot cook without rice. Without good medicinal materials, even if his medical skills are excellent, he cannot put them into practice.
The two returned to the yard again.
"Bring up the box."
The Wei family's chief steward gave an order and immediately two people came up carrying boxes.
When I opened the box, I saw a lot of long boxes inside.
The Wei family's chief steward stepped forward and opened the boxes.
It was filled with high-quality medicinal materials that had been dried and air-dried.
There are more than ten ginseng plants alone.
Lu Qing saw that some of them were even bigger than the two that the black beast brought him.
Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of a big family, they have profound heritage and can easily produce so many hundred-year-old ginsengs.
"Doctor Chen, you are free to use the herbs here. If they are not enough, I will send someone back to the mansion to get more." The Wei family's chief steward said respectfully.
"It won't take that much."
The old doctor chuckled and took out a few boxes from the box, one box each of ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Panax notoginseng.
"I'm going to the pharmacy to get the medicine now. You guys are tired from running around, so just take a rest first. If you have anything, just tell my disciple."
The old doctor pointed at Lu Qing.
The Wei family's chief steward immediately bowed to Lu Qing again and said, "Thank you for your help, young master."
"It's not a trouble. Just call me if you have any problem." Lu Qing quickly returned the salute.
At the same time, I sighed again in my heart.
As expected of someone who comes from a great family, this chief steward is obviously a powerful figure with great authority and dignity in the Wei family.
Just look at the attitude of Guard Li and the others towards him and you will know that it is a respect that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
What's more, he had previously discovered through his special abilities that this chief steward was actually a martial arts master at the inner viscera level.
But even such a person, when asking for help from others, is still able to let go and give others enough face, without being overbearing or bullying others.
A general manager has such a magnanimous demeanor. No wonder the Wei family was able to develop from a county family into a powerful family with connections everywhere.
Doctor Chen prepared the medicine very quickly. He prepared the medicine and boiled it that night.
Then, in front of the Wei family's chief steward, he fed the bowl of life-saving soup to the young master of the Wei family.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, the old doctor used acupuncture to stimulate the effect of the medicine.
Not long after, the Wei family's chief steward saw that a hint of blood finally appeared on his own pale face.
His breathing also became steadier, no longer that erratic state.
This change not only boosted the spirits of the Wei family's chief steward, but also gave him more confidence in the old doctor.
What surprised the Wei family's chief steward even more was that early the next morning, as the sun rose outside.
He saw that his young master's eyelids moved.
