He Dongsheng said again, "Your Yu family ancestors must have done a great deed to have such a granddaughter-in-law. Otherwise, with the medical skills of Old Doctor Yu that take human life lightly, I really have to advise you not to practice medicine anymore."
Yu Ruhai's face turned red, and he said awkwardly, "Master He is right."
He Dongsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at Jiang Qinghe beside him and asked curiously, "Why is Doctor Jiang here too?"
Jiang Qinghe sat aside and watched Yu Ruhai's expression for a long time. He had been secretly happy in his heart for a while. When he saw He Dongsheng asking questions, he did not hide his purpose.
"I'm here to invite Miss Meng to Huichuntang for consultation. Fortunately, Mr. He, you arrived a little late, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy Miss Meng's indenture." He deliberately teased.
Ever since Yu Ruhai knew He Dongsheng's intention, he regretted it so much that he wanted to vomit blood. And when he heard Jiang Qinghe's pressure on him, he was so angry that his liver was trembling.
After hearing this, He Dongsheng saw that Yu Ruhai's face had turned the color of liver, and he laughed out loud with joy, praising him, "Doctor Jiang has a good eye for talent. With Miss Meng's medical skills, it is really a waste of talent to keep her in the Yu family. A good doctor like her should stay in a clinic like Huichuntang! But it's a pity..."
He Dongsheng turned around and looked at the object covered with red silk that the two servants were holding.
"Why is it a pity?" Jiang Qinghe asked puzzledly.
"I specially prepared a plaque for Miss Meng. Now that she is going to your Huichuntang for consultation, this plaque will not be of any use." He Dongsheng stood up, walked to the servant, and lifted the red silk cloth covering it.
Yu Jiao was just walking in from outside and looking at the plaque. On the mahogany plaque were four large gold-plated characters - Miraculous Hands Bringing Back Spring - and it was framed by gold foil carvings all around, which looked quite impressive.
He Dongsheng looked at the four big characters and smiled, "It's quite appropriate. If Miss Meng goes to Huichuntang for consultation, this plaque will be given to you Huichuntang. Miaoshou Huichun and Huichuntang will go well together."
Yu Ruhai was dazzled by the gold foil. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and stared at it, unwilling to look away. He had been practicing medicine all his life and had long wanted to hang a plaque on his door. However, his medical skills were only at the level of a traveling doctor, and the patients who came to see him were only poor people from the countryside who had headaches and fevers. Who would be so generous as to give him a plaque?
Such a magnificent plaque is now right in front of him. Yu Ruhai is extremely jealous. He is so stupid. Why did he sell Meng Yujiao's indenture for no reason? Just a little bit, just a little bit, and the plaque will belong to their Yu family.
If Meng Yujiao's indenture was still there, and this plaque was hung up... Yu Ruhai felt so happy just thinking about it in his mind, but when he thought that the indenture had already been given to Jiang Qinghe, Yu Ruhai regretted it so much that he wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet.
One miscalculated step would lead to eternal regret. The great opportunity for the Yu family to bring honor to their ancestors and become famous in the medical world was right before their eyes, but it was ruined by his own hands!
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. He." Yu Jiao smiled faintly and thanked He Dongsheng.
When He Dongsheng saw her come in, he immediately seemed to be a different person. He smiled and said, "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! I came here today not only to give Miss Meng the medical fee, but also to apologize to you. I came here because of my father's illness and was anxious. The servants did not know the seriousness of the matter and were rude to Miss Meng. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Miss Meng."
Yu Jiao sat down on the chair, drank a sip of hot tea, and said, "Mr. He, you are too serious. It was my family who prescribed the wrong medicine and harmed Mr. He. It was my Yu family who made the mistake first."
Hearing Yu Jiao's words, He Dongsheng looked at her with more admiration. Now that he had lowered his attitude and face, but Meng Yujiao was not proud of her medical skills, but honestly admitted her mistakes. He Dongsheng felt that she was a noble person and wanted to make friends with her.
"It's good that Miss Meng doesn't blame me." He Dongsheng lifted the red silk cloth on the tray held by another servant and said with a smile, "This is one hundred taels of medical fee, please accept it, Miss Meng."
Yu Jiao looked at the shiny plate of silver ingots, her almond eyes slightly curved, "Mr. He is too generous, the consultation fee is not that much."
He Dongsheng said hurriedly, "If Miss Meng doesn't accept you, you must be angry at me for forcing me to keep you in my house."
Yu Jiao did not refuse, "Since Mr. He said so, I will accept it."
He Dongsheng said with a smile, "The housekeeper said that they broke a lot of things in the house last time, so I specially prepared some for them to replace them."
When the steward of the He family heard that he was mentioned, he hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly at Yu Jiao and directed a group of servants to quickly move the things that had just been unloaded from the carriage to the Yu family's yard.
Yu Jinyan and Yu Jinshu have been watching from the side since He Dongsheng came in. Both of them are in a very subtle mood at the moment. This Mr. He spoke very rudely to their grandfather, but he was so friendly to Meng Yujiao, as if the two were equal.
Meng Yujiao always maintained a graceful and generous demeanor, and was calm and composed when talking to He Dongsheng. She was neither trying to please nor being rude. She really didn't look like a country girl who had never seen the world. The two scholars from the Yu family, on the other hand, looked pale in comparison and could only stand in a corner, without even the right to interrupt.
Even their grandfather, when humiliated like this, could only flatter and smile, so they were nothing.
Yu Jiao didn't care about what everyone in the room was thinking. Thinking of what she heard when she entered the room, she asked Jiang Qinghe, "Doctor Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Qinghe glanced at Yu Ruhai and said with a smug smile, "Although Miss Meng rejected me twice, in ancient times, people visited Lord Wolong three times to invite talented people. Now I will follow the example of the ancients and invite Miss Meng to Huichun Hall for consultation again."
He took out the indenture from his purse and handed it to Yu Jiao, "This is Miss Meng's indenture. I bought it from Doctor Yu. To show my sincerity, I am returning this indenture to Miss Meng."
Yu Jiao took the indenture, looked at it, raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu Ruhai.
Yu Ruhai looked aggrieved. He smiled ingratiatingly at Yu Jiao, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Jiang Qinghe clearly did it on purpose. He knew very well that Yu Jiao had cured Old Master He and He Dongsheng would never bother him again. He said that on purpose to cause him to accidentally give away his indenture.
When Yu Ruhai thought about how he had hurriedly stuffed Meng Yujiao's contract into Jiang Qinghe's hand, he wished he could chop off his hand.
Yu Jiao sneered. Yu Ruhai was very concerned about his reputation and liked fame and fortune. Now he must be feeling very painful.
"Thank you for your kindness, Doctor Jiang. How much silver did you spend on this contract?" Yu Jiao asked Jiang Qinghe.
Jiang Qinghe stretched out his hand and said, "Old Doctor Yu asked me for fifty taels."
Yu Jiao looked at Yu Ruhai, narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Haven't I already paid you the money for the indenture? Even if you love money, you shouldn't have cheated Doctor Jiang of his money. Last time you said you didn't know where you put the indenture and refused to find it for me. How come the indenture was found after Doctor Jiang gave me the money?"
Yu Ruhai's face turned red and white, and he explained guiltily, "Your grandma found it when she was cleaning the closet two days ago..."
