When he entered Qi Mingyu's room and saw Old Man Qi, he couldn't help but frown and say unhappily:
"What are you doing here? Didn't I say no one is allowed to come here?"
Dr. Lu, smelling the stench of urine in the air, questioned the doctor while subtly searching for something.
When he saw the pair of pants on the ground, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
People like Qi Mingyu don't deserve to climb the ladder.
A mere scholar, after receiving a few words of praise, became so arrogant that he abandoned his wife and children.
If one passed the imperial examination or the imperial examination, what would happen then?
When he becomes an official in the future, the common people will probably suffer terribly.
Rather than waiting for him to "grow up" and become capable of harming the people, it's better to nip his ambitions in the bud while he's still just a mere scholar!
Old Qi had heard that Doctor Lu was a famous doctor in the capital who had treated many high-ranking officials and nobles, so he didn't dare to raise his voice at all.
Even if scolded, one can only obediently lower one's head and reply:
"Dr. Lu, I'm much better now, but my son needs someone to take care of him."
I don't trust other people very much, so I had to stay here.
By the way, doctor, how is my son's condition? Is there any chance of a cure?
My son has to take the autumn imperial examination in August, and there's another provincial examination in June.
Doctor Lu didn't want Qi Mingyu to participate in the autumn examination at all, fearing that he would harm the people in the future, which is why he turned out the way he is now.
Upon hearing this, he replied, "He has the plague. It's not that easy to cure him."
He's lucky to have survived and to be in this state without his condition worsening.
Your old clan chief is on his last breath; he'll probably only have a few days left.
He infected everyone in his family, and several of them were quite ill.
Old Qi was speechless and dared not ask any further questions.
At the same time, they were also uneasy, fearing that the old clan chief's family would come back to settle scores with them after the funeral.
After all, everyone in Qijia Village now knows that the reason they were imprisoned and contracted the plague was because their second son went to Anning County to propose marriage.
It was because of Dr. Lu that everyone's condition did not worsen and they still had a chance to survive.
If not, then everyone in Qijia Village would just have to wait to be burned to death.
Even if his second son is a scholar, he might still be able to pass the provincial examination and become a licentiate.
But this doesn't mean that just because he caused everyone to get the plague, everyone will swallow their anger and not hold him accountable!
After examining Qi Mingyu's condition, Dr. Lu gave him acupuncture again.
Before leaving, he said, "Scholar Qi, let me tell you the truth."
Your situation is somewhat better than that of your clan elder.
It won't kill you, but that's about it.
In the future, you will not be able to hold a pen to write for long periods of time, nor will you be able to sit for long periods of time.
Forget about taking the imperial examinations.
Whether it's the imperial examination, the autumn examination, or the spring examination later, one has to sit there for long periods of time, writing non-stop with a pen in hand.
As for you, you can write for a quarter of an hour or two, but once you exceed that, your wrist simply can't exert any strength.
Another thing is that when I sit there, I feel an unbearable soreness in my lower back and abdomen, like being pricked with needles.
After saying this, he left without caring what the Qi father and son thought.
He will cure Qi Mingyu of the plague, but he will definitely not allow him to participate in the imperial examination.
How can someone of such poor character be fit to serve as an official in the court? How can he be fit to become a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and then flaunt his power?
It is already considered merciful to allow him to continue as a scholar, without having to perform corvée labor or pay taxes in the future!
