Chapter 7 A Great Gift



This person is always afraid that he will get entangled with him.

It's really helpless to think about it, but she still got entangled with him in many things.

He didn't know why, so he felt depressed and annoyed.

Miss Jun smiled as she watched him walk away.

"Miss Jun." The old lady of Marquis Dingyuan came from behind.

Miss Jun hurriedly bowed to her.

"You have shown your face in front of the Queen Mother today. You will have no worries about business in the future, and you don't have to worry about others breaking your rules again." The old lady of Dingyuan Marquis said with a smile.

Miss Jun bowed to her respectfully again.

At that time in the hall, the Queen Mother's attitude was not polite at first. Under that situation, only the old lady of Marquis Dingyuan stood up to speak for her. This kind of thing is not something that can be done easily.

"Thank you, ma'am." She said sincerely.

Just like Princess Jiuli, these people would never express their joy or anger in words. Many things depend on intuition. If you understand, you understand. If you don’t understand, then forget it.

The old lady of Marquis Dingyuan smiled but said nothing. She did not continue the topic and walked away holding the arm of Marquis Dingyuan's wife.

Miss Jun watched them leave.

This is all thanks to her medical skills. She can get these powerful women to speak for her. This is the ability her master gave her to make a living.

In the future, more people will benefit from this medical skill, and more people will speak for her.

"Miss Jun, your carriage." said an eunuch from behind.

The eunuchs were preparing to load the rewards onto the cart. Miss Jun's carriage, which was originally parked at the outermost part, was also pulled over. Miss Jun nodded to them, thanked them, and stepped back a few steps.

The car drove away along Yu Street, filled with rewards, envy and curiosity. When it entered the street where Jiuling Hall was located, Shopkeeper Liu, who had been waiting for a long time and had received the news, led his men to set off firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers shook the whole street. The shouts of "Thank You, Master" from the De Sheng Chang employees who were standing in two rows drowned out the sound of the firecrackers, and the news that Jiu Ling Tang had received the Queen Mother's gift spread throughout the city.

Miss Jun sat in the carriage, seemingly oblivious to the deafening noise outside; she just stared at the box on her knees.

This is the osmanthus cake given to her by Princess Fengping.

Miss Jun opened the box, picked up a piece, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

This osmanthus cake is different from the previous one. I guess the chef in the palace has been changed, and the taste has been changed to suit the new owner.

The blood of the old man has been washed away by you, but the old man is not necessarily forgotten.

Miss Jun swallowed the osmanthus cake slowly.

The bustle here could be heard almost everywhere while sitting in the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Geng angrily threw away the cloth stuffed in his ears.

"It's so noisy." He shouted to the outside, "Will the Wucheng Military Command not do anything about this disturbance?"

"Not to mention that Jiuling Hall has the imperial edict of the late emperor. Many rewards for curing Queen Mother Huai are displayed in the hall. Even if she turns the capital upside down, the Five Cities Military Department will not do anything." Jiang Youshu said.

That's why he got angry. Doctor Geng sat down angrily.

"The Five Cities Military Department dares not intervene, but why are the Jinyiwei silent?" he said, "Doesn't Captain Lu have a personal grudge against her? Could it be that because she cured his brother-in-law, he has also made peace with her?"

Jiang Youshu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"What are you talking about? Is Lu Qianhu this kind of person?" he said.

Lu Qianhu is certainly not such a person, and it is not certain whether Prince Huai's life or death is more important to him.

"Were their past ferocity just exaggerated?" Doctor Geng couldn't help but say. But after saying this, he felt a chill down his spine. He subconsciously shrank his head and looked around, feeling a little regretful.

This must not be heard by the Royal Guards, otherwise they will show me whether my ferocity is just an exaggeration.

"I mean they were too polite to Jiulingtang this time," he added.

Even though no one saw or heard me, I still felt it was worth saying it out loud to make up for my worries.

"They are not being polite to Jiulingtang, but to the emperor and the empress dowager." Jiang Youshu said, "Jiulingtang is now in its heyday, even the emperor and the empress dowager praise it. Do you think Jinyiwei is going to slap the emperor and the empress dowager in the face? Lu Qianhu is evil, not stupid."

"It's because you, Master, spoke well of her in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager gave her such a big face." Doctor Geng muttered.

"Idiot." Jiang Youshu said.

She cured Prince Huai, how could the emperor and the empress dowager not give her face?

Doctor Geng was embarrassed.

"What should I do then?" he said. The sound of firecrackers outside had stopped, but he seemed to still hear and see the noise in Jiuling Hall, and the dignitaries all over the city were waiting to write invitations to invite her.

These powerful people will be difficult to serve in the future. If they are cured, it is their duty. If they are not, they will definitely be ridiculed.

Jiang Youshu smiled and stood up.

"Miss Jun is indeed capable," he said. "She cured Prince Huai and saved us from danger. So we should give her a gift as well."

Doctor Geng was stunned.

"Master, should we go and congratulate her in person?" he shouted immediately.

Jiang Youshu smiled.

"That kind of congratulation is too vulgar," he said. "If we are going to give a gift, we should give a gift that will bring great merit."

"Master, what great merit is that?" Doctor Geng asked puzzled.

Jiang Youshu didn't say anything anymore, just twisted his beard and smiled slightly.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the festive atmosphere did not fade but became stronger. Officials came and went in an endless stream, and people who had been idle in the winter were bustling on the streets again. Restaurants and teahouses were bustling everywhere.

The inspection at the city gates during the first month of the year was much more relaxed than usual. The guards at the city gates folded their arms and chatted idly while glancing at people entering the city.

But no matter how relaxed the situation was, two people still caught the attention of the city gate guards.

This is a woman holding a child.

The woman was wearing a patched jacket and carrying a basket in her hand, like a peasant woman going to the city to visit relatives or to do business, but the child she was holding was wrapped in thick clothes, covering his head and face.

The woman walked while looking around with her eyes flickering, as if she was avoiding someone.

The guards at the city gate looked at each other, and the leading guard raised his chin to the two soldiers, who understood and walked towards the woman.

"You, stand still," they said, stopping her.

The woman took two steps back in fear, holding the child in her arms, and trembling with fear.

He was so frightened, there must be something wrong, so the two guards were not polite anymore.

"What do you do? Where are you from?" they shouted.

"No, no, I'm visiting relatives." The woman stammered, holding the child tightly in her arms.

Liar.

The two guards frowned and one of them put the hilt of the knife against the woman's shoulder.

"Come here, come here," he said.

The other one suddenly used the handle of the knife to lift up the clothes covering the child's head and face.

"Did Hanako steal the child?" he said.

As her clothes were lifted up, the woman screamed and frantically tried to wrap the child with her clothes, but she was a step too late. The guard had already seen the child's condition.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes, it's pox!" he cried, pointing the knife at the woman and child. "It's pox."

Acne?

Smallpox is contagious, so people with smallpox are confined to their homes and are not allowed to walk around.

This woman actually walked through the streets with a smallpox-infected child and even broke into the capital. There was a moment of silence in front of the city gate, and then the people coming in and out scattered like birds and beasts.

"How dare you leave your home without permission." The guards at the city gate surrounded the woman and the child.

The woman trembled and fell to her knees.

"Master! Please, doctor, save me! Please, doctor, save me!" She cried out in a hoarse voice and banged her head heavily on the ground.

At the same time, people carrying smallpox children appeared at the four gates of the capital, and in the distance, one could vaguely see dense crowds of people staggering towards the city, some pulling, some carrying, or holding children on their backs.

The gatekeeper standing on the city wall and looking over felt his scalp tingling.

"Quick, quick, close the city gate." He raised his hand and shouted.
