Chapter 398: The former King of Yingshan
"Thank you, Lord!"
Song Yuntang stood up, took the imperial edict from the eunuch, and took out ten taels of silver from his purse and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand.
"Thank you for the trouble, eunuch."
Upon seeing this, the other people in the clinic hurriedly took the things from the soldiers' hands.
However, the eunuch did not dare to accept the money from Song Yuntang.
"It's my job, Doctor Song. You are too polite." He turned and bowed in the direction of Master Liao Wu. "Your Highness, now that the matter in Anyang County has been resolved, please hurry back to the capital. His Majesty is still waiting for you in the capital. I will take my leave."
Master Liao Wu waved his hand.
"Go ahead."
Song Yuntang was a little surprised.
How did this old bald donkey become a prince?
After the eunuch led his people away, she bowed in the direction of Liaowu.
"Your Majesty?"
Not a single smile.
"It's just an empty title. Although I am the emperor's uncle, I entered Buddhism thirty years ago. Now I have no Dharma name. Doctor Song, please call me by my Dharma name as usual."
Although Liao Wu said so, Song Yuntang didn't dare to be as casual as before.
"Master Liao Wu came to my Xinglin Clinic, but is there anything else important?"
There was no sight of the sky outside.
"I have been observing the celestial phenomena at night these days, and I vaguely feel that the disaster in Anyang County has not yet passed. The Anyang County Magistrate will be promoted soon, and I have to return to the capital, so I came here to inform Doctor Song. If something happens here, please do your best to protect the people, and I will not let Doctor Song suffer any loss afterwards."
Song Yuntang thought about it.
Although Xinglin Medical Clinic now has a plaque bestowed by His Majesty and has a certain status in Anyang County, she is only a doctor after all. Even if the current county magistrate leaves, there will be a new one, and it would not be easy for her to take over.
"As a doctor, it is my duty to save the dying and heal the wounded. However, I am insignificant and my words do not count. If the new county magistrate is not easy to talk to, I am afraid I will be powerless to help."
Liao Wu seemed to have expected her to say that, so he took out a token from his arms and handed it to her.
"If the Anyang County Magistrate does nothing, Doctor Song can take this item to Yingshan City to find the prefect." Then he said, "This is the last thing I, the former King of Yingshan, will do for the people of Yingshan. I'm afraid I won't come back here again in the future."
The reason why this matter was handed over to Song Yuntang was, firstly, because of the prestige of Xinglin Medical Clinic in Anyang County, and secondly, because of the relationship between Xu Qingye and Mr. Tang.
No matter what, as long as she intervenes, Xu Qingye will not stand idly by.
Considering how much Mr. Tang thinks of that kid, he will definitely not be able to take it off.
Furthermore, this girl is not only an excellent doctor, but also has a lot of food in her hands. Once a crisis occurs in Anyang County, with the guarantee of medical skills and food, she will be able to overcome the danger.
Song Yuntang looked at the token in his hand with some fear. The ancient silver token was engraved with the words "Yingshan".
It turns out that Liaowu was once a vassal king of Yingshan City.
But as a prince, why did he want to enter Buddhism?
It seems that this prince still has many secrets.
Song Yuntang held the token and bowed in the direction of Master Liaowu.
"Since it is Master Luo Wu's trust, Xinglin Medical Clinic will definitely do its best."
No one nodded.
"I have explained everything properly. I will not stay any longer. See you later."
"Master, take care. I'll see you off." After Song Yuntang sent Le Wu out of the clinic, he returned to the main hall and said, "Chang Gen, Gui Ping, I'll leave the plaque hanging to you."
Later, among the two people, a man and a woman, who were bought to work in the clinic, the man was called Guiping, nineteen years old this year, three years older than Changgen.
The girl's name is Jinxin and she is eighteen years old.
These two people are steady and down-to-earth in their work, and they have completed the tasks that Song Yuntang had assigned them to do very well.
Xu Changgen and Guiping responded and hurried over to get a hammer and a ladder.
Song Yuntang asked Nian'er to go home and call Xu Yongwang and Xu Wencheng, and then they all put the imperial gifts on the carriage and sent them back home.
Looking at the cart of silks, satins and jewels bestowed by the emperor, Jiang was amazed.
"I have never seen so many good things in my life. Thanks to Tang'er, I have opened my eyes today."
Song Yuntang picked out a warm white peace locket from the box of jewelry and hung it around Jiang's neck. "I heard that jade can nourish people. This warm jade is just right for you."
Jiang quickly reached out to pick it.
"It's not appropriate for mother to wear such a valuable thing. Tang'er should keep it for herself."
Song Yuntang stopped her action, "There are still a lot of them in the box. If you wear them close to your body, others won't see them. It won't be a problem."
As she spoke, she rummaged through the box again and found two jade pendants, one yellow and one black.
The yellow jade was given to Xu Wencheng, and she thought the black jade was quite suitable for Xu Qingye, so she took it out first.
Xu Wencheng hung the jade pendant around his waist and showed it off in front of Jiang and Xu Yongwang.
"Dad, Mom, this jade pendant is so beautiful."
Jiang smiled unhappily and said, "You are just like your father. You show off when you have something good."
Xu Yongwang raised his eyebrows.
"So the bad ones are like me, and the good ones are like you?"
"I didn't say that." Jiang touched the jade pendant on her neck, which was already warm. "You said it yourself, it's not my fault."
Xu Yongwang felt a little aggrieved.
The daughter-in-law gave gifts to everyone in the family except him.
He doesn't have to have it. If there's nothing suitable for him, he can just say so.
At this moment, Song Yuntang stood up holding a small Pixiu, "Dad, let you play with this little thing."
Xu Yongwang ran over excitedly.
"What's this?"
Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "I can't tell the specific material, it looks like animal teeth or something like that. I guess it's ivory."
Although it is valuable, there are probably not many people outside who recognize it.
Jiang said, "The things bestowed by the emperor must not be ordinary goods."
Xu Yongwang wiped his hands on his waist and made sure that his hands were clean before taking the white little Pixiu from Song Yuntang.
He chuckled.
"I will have to keep this thing as a heirloom of our Xu family."
Jiang joked, "You look like you've never seen anything good."
Xu Yongwang glanced at her.
"What do you know? I heard people say that Pixiu can bring wealth. Moreover, it was given by the emperor. Shouldn't it be passed down as a family heirloom?"
Song Yuntang just smiled and asked Xia Ning to help her move these things into the house.
My parents-in-law will have a long time to live in Lushan Village, so we can’t give them too many of these valuable things. If someone with bad intentions were to take advantage of them, it would harm them instead.
After Song Yuntang had arranged the silks, satins, jewels and gold, he found a rectangular box and put the neatly rolled imperial edict in it for safekeeping.
