Chapter 609: Receiving the Imperial Order
"Don't worry, godfather. No one will bully me. I will run my clinic well. If anyone dares to bully me, I will point to the words written by the emperor himself and curse them back! Isn't there a saying called "a dog relying on the power of others"? Ah, bah, bah, bah, I'm not a dog. It's called "a fox borrowing the power of a tiger"! It doesn't seem right. Hehe, anyway, I will protect myself."
Jiang Fubao grinned foolishly, baring his teeth.
In fact, she did it on purpose to liven up the atmosphere.
My father's expression looked very solemn.
"Hey, kid, you're still the same as before. As long as you don't suffer any loss, your godfather will be relieved."
Meng Zhili laughed out loud, then sighed.
The letters I wrote to my son have not been replied to, and I don’t know what has happened to him.
Another month has passed.
Meng Zhili still hadn't received the transfer order, so he went to find the prefect, but the prefect didn't know either.
There is no choice but to continue waiting.
It was not until mid-September that three horse-drawn carriages surrounded by dozens of mounted guards arrived at the city gate of Lianshan Town.
The officer guarding the city gate wanted to stop and check, but after seeing a token, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground.
The carriage passed unhindered and stopped at the gate of the former Yaoxiangshan Pavilion.
"Eunuch Ying, please slow down." The first person to get out of the carriage was Meng Bujiu. After he jumped down, he waited for the coachman to put away the stool, and then helped a eunuch get out of the carriage.
Meng Zhili, who had just received the news an hour ago, had just arrived at the city gate.
"Where are the people?" He was sweating profusely as he asked.
"To reply to your Excellency, go in, go in, it should be to Miss Jiang's clinic." The officer was still confused and his speech was a little unclear.
"Okay." Meng Zhili returned to the carriage.
Hurry to Yaoxiang Food Pavilion.
"Huh? Where are the people inside?" Eunuch Ying stood at the gate puzzled.
He looked inside, and apart from the craftsmen working, there was no trace of Jiang Fubao.
There were clearly quite a few people queuing here last time I came.
"Who are you looking for?" The tile-laying craftsman stopped his work and looked at them.
"Where is Doctor Jiang?" Meng Bujiu asked.
"Oh, you mean the little miracle doctor. She's in the clinic at the end of the alley. This place is under renovation. They connected the two rooms next door, so the clinic has moved temporarily. The plaque has also been hung over there. It's easy to find."
The craftsmen were afraid that they didn't know where to go, so they enthusiastically came to the road to show them the way.
"Thank you." Meng Bujiu left side by side with Eunuch Ying again.
The guards followed behind them on horseback.
Before they reached the alley entrance, Meng Zhili's carriage came towards them.
"No blame!" He hadn't seen his son for a long time, and he even ignored Eunuch Ying standing beside him. Only after he got off the carriage and walked up to him did he react.
He clasped his hands together, bent his back slightly, and bowed to Eunuch Ying.
Normally speaking, a eunuch is just a servant, but this eunuch Ying serves the emperor. Not to mention him as the county magistrate, even the concubines in the palace have to give face to Eunuch Ying when they see him.
"It's been a while since we last met. Is your father-in-law doing well? Why did you come here in person?"
Meng Zhili guessed that it must be a reward from the emperor, so he specially sent Eunuch Ying here, and it just so happened that his son also came back, so it was convenient for him to go there.
"You are too polite, Magistrate Meng. I am really embarrassed to have been traveling with your son and to have been taken care of by him. No wonder your son is the third place in the imperial examination. He is so handsome, has a noble temperament, and is well-mannered. A good father will have a good son. He will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Eunuch Ying seemed to like Meng Bujiu very much. As soon as they met, he started praising him to Meng Zhili.
However, Meng Zhili was stunned.
"But did I hear wrongly? What did Eunuch Ying just say? The prefect?" He looked puzzled.
"Haha, don't worry. Once we read out the imperial edict, it won't be too late to be happy. Is the little genius doctor in the clinic? Please come out and receive the edict!"
Suddenly, Eunuch Ying shouted towards the clinic.
Jiang Fubao, who was taking a patient's pulse, was almost frightened to death.
"Which woman is calling me? Go out and take a look." Jiang Fubao looked at Pan Erya beside him.
Eunuch Ying is a eunuch. If you don't look at him and only listen to his voice, you can hear that it sounds like a forty-year-old woman.
"Yes." Pan Erya hurriedly walked out, and after seeing the person coming, she turned around immediately.
"Miss, come out quickly! Master Bujiu is back!"
Pan Erya didn’t know Eunuch Ying. The first person she saw was the tall and straight Meng Bujiu.
Jiang Fubao stood up and ran out.
"Brother Bujiu... Hmm? Eunuch Ying, Godfather, why are you here?"
Jiang Fubao looked at them in surprise.
The patients in the clinic also crowded out to watch.
People passing by in the alley stopped one after another.
"Little miracle doctor, please kneel down and receive my order." Eunuch Ying said with a smile without explaining.
"Fubao, kneel down quickly." Seeing that she was stunned, Meng Bujiu hurriedly reminded her.
"Oh, okay." Jiang Fubao knelt stupidly at the door of the clinic, and Pan Erya, who was standing behind her, also knelt down.
When Eunuch Ying took out the imperial edict, everyone present knelt down, including those who were just watching the excitement.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I wish for peace and prosperity for the whole world, and the well-being of all the people. However, last year, an epidemic raged and plague spread, causing the people to suffer. I was worried and could not sleep or eat. Fortunately, there was a little miracle doctor with extraordinary medical skills who saved them with his magic tricks and presented a prescription for curing the epidemic, which was a great achievement! The little miracle doctor cares about the people and helps the world with his benevolence. I specially reward him with 10,000 taels of silver and 500 taels of gold, and make him the world's number one miracle doctor......
There is also County Magistrate Meng, who, during the chaotic epidemic, fulfilled his duties, soothed the people's fear, provided relief, maintained order, and assisted the young doctor in fighting the epidemic and disaster relief. His achievements are outstanding, and he is now specially promoted to the position of prefect of Ruling Prefecture..."
After Eunuch Ying finished reading the imperial edict, Jiang Fubao and Meng Zhili were already stunned.
"Ahem, please ask the little doctor and Magistrate Meng to receive the order." Eunuch Ying pretended to cough and gave a reminder.
"Thank you for your majesty's grace. I will obey your order."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will certainly live up to your expectations as you have commanded me."
They both said together.
After receiving the imperial edict, the people began to get up one after another.
"Eunuch Ying, come stay at my house for a few days before leaving. I'll ask my second sister to make you some medicinal food. Eunuch Ying has definitely never eaten it before."
Jiang Fubao took Eunuch Ying's arm in a familiar manner.
After all, they are eunuchs, and there is no distinction between men and women.
She is not afraid of people gossiping.
"Oh, no, we have to go back early to report to the emperor. By the way, the emperor specifically instructed us to tell you, the little doctor, to use the money to open more clinics. It would be best if it could benefit the people from the south to the north." Eunuch Ying waved his hands repeatedly.
Then, he lowered his head slightly and spoke to Jiang Fubao in a low voice.
This little miracle doctor is really a wonderful person. He has never seen such a lively and cheerful girl. She is only eleven years old, but she is very knowledgeable and has excellent medical skills. He really admires her.
The key is that she looks so good...
