Chapter 85: Why did the princess touch them? Woohoo... (Additional chapter)
What Jiujiu wanted was for them to give the money firmly. She smiled in her heart and said, "Okay!" Then she looked at the Royal Guards not far away and said, "This princess is really not threatened, don't worry."
"That's good!"
The Royal Guards breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to their original position to guard, but their eyes never left Jiujiu. They were always looking at Jiujiu.
They are silently protecting Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was helped up by Nanny Gui.
She stretched out her little hand and asked for money.
The three imperial doctors gave Jiujiu all the silver they had on them, but it was still not enough. After all, no one would go out with tens of thousands of taels of silver.
I just said I would give it to you right away, purely to avoid attracting the attention of Emperor Zhaoning.
The three imperial doctors all wrote an IOU and then hurried home to get it.
They also promised to be back within an hour at most.
When he got home, Doctor Jiang hugged his wife and cried, saying, "Madam, you may not believe this, but I was cheated out of 20,000 taels of silver by a three-and-a-half-year-old child."
"What? Twenty thousand taels?" Doctor Jiang's wife didn't disbelieve it, but she was a little surprised. "How could you mess with a three-and-a-half-year-old child? And you got cheated out of twenty thousand taels? How stupid are you?"
"Didn't you always cheat others in the past?"
"What about your ability to cheat and deceive?"
But it is not——
In the past, Doctor Jiang always cheated people. Whenever someone asked him to treat an illness, he would ask for a huge amount of money.
Don’t go for treatment if you don’t have money!
He never gave money to anyone.
This is the first time today.
He was cheated out of his money and he didn't even know why!
It's just very confusing.
He felt aggrieved and heartbroken about the money, and was slapped a few times by the fierce lady to teach him a lesson.
"If you get tricked by a kid again, don't come back."
"idiot!"
"Stupid people are hated by God."
·
When Doctor Wei came home to get the money, his mother and wife both asked, "Where have you been? Why do you suddenly need 20,000 taels of silver?"
"Did you go gambling or whoring?"
"Or maybe there was murder or arson, so you need so much money to settle it?"
Doctor Wei feels wronged!
"What kind of temper am I, mother, madam, don't you know yet?"
"How could I possibly eat, drink, gamble, and commit murder and arson?"
“My only hobby is making money.”
Doctor Wei's wife, Liu, said, "Just brag! You like making money, but you spend so much money at once?"
"I was cheated, and I feel so miserable!"
Liu put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me, who cheated you? And why did they cheat you?"
Doctor Wei was worried that if he told the princess about it, her family would get worried, so he said vaguely, "She's just a three-and-a-half-year-old child! I don't know why she cheated me."
After hearing this, Liu laughed. She was so angry that she laughed.
"Wei Hu, don't you think before you tell a lie?"
"How old are you? You're almost 48, already a grandfather, and you're being tricked by a three-and-a-half-year-old?"
"Who are you kidding?"
"Or do you think that I look like a fool? I'm easy to fool?"
"..." Doctor Wei took a deep breath, "I really didn't say anything nonsense! If I did, God will strike me with lightning."
"Shut up, there are thunderstorms in winter and there are piles of graves. How can there be thunder in winter? If there is thunder in winter, you will be scared to death."
“…”
Doctor Wei was speechless after being confronted.
His wife doesn't give him any money.
"Madam, please give it to me quickly! Otherwise, I will be finished!"
"Tell me the truth, why do you want the money? Don't tell me you were cheated by a three-and-a-half-year-old. I don't believe it."
Doctor Wei was at a loss after hearing this.
If the lady doesn't believe it, she won't give the money.
What should he do?
In a panic, in order to get the money as quickly as possible, he lied: "I, I, I fell in love with a woman, and she is pregnant, and I want to bring her home."
"What did you say?"
"It's twenty thousand taels, ma'am, hurry up, otherwise she, she, she will go to the government to sue me."
Doctor Wei thought that if he said this, he would definitely get the money. In the end, he not only did not get the money, but was also beaten by his wife.
"You dead man, do you think you'll be honest only if you hang on the wall?"
"How dare you look for those questionable women outside."
Doctor Wei finally took his own coffin with him into the palace. He felt so miserable that he kept crying on the way into the palace.
I still couldn't help but doubt.
"Why am I so unlucky today?"
"Is it because you didn't check the almanac before going out?"
·
As for Doctor Chen.
He knew that being cheated of money by a child was neither decent nor a good thing.
He was smart enough not to tell his family, but quietly took his coffin book, returned to the palace, and gave it to Jiujiu who was waiting.
For the imperial physicians, making money is all about money, whether openly or secretly.
It’s just a small amount of money for the coffin, so just spend it. You can earn it back in a year or two at most.
Don't worry.
It’s just strange, why did the princess try to scam them?
Woo woo woo…
They were hit by a scam so badly!
The three imperial doctors met in the palace.
Except for Doctor Chen, the other two had bruised faces and noses.
Doctor Chen asked with concern: "You two, what's going on?"
"...It's just that he fell accidentally, it's okay." The two doctors answered in unison as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Doctor Chen smiled.
See through but don’t speak out.
Jiujiu sat in the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden, drinking hot goat milk and waiting for a few people.
After drinking, the three of them came.
The three imperial doctors came to Jiujiu with trembling bodies, placed the silver bills on the table in front of Jiujiu, then quickly stepped back several steps and hugged each other.
The three of them looked panicked, scared, and nervous...
That's why we stick together for warmth.
Jiujiu crossed his legs, picked up the silver bills and asked Nanny Gui beside him to count them. After Nanny Gui finished counting, she said that the silver bills were enough.
Little Master Jiujiu nodded and looked at the imperial doctors.
"Why are you standing so far away? Don't you want the IOU anymore?"
Several imperial doctors were afraid of Jiujiu and dared not approach her for fear of being scammed or blackmailed.
After this incident, they really can’t afford to be hurt anymore!
They all said in unison: "Princess, just put the IOU on the table!"
"I'll wait until the princess leaves and then take it."
The three imperial doctors looked somewhat funny.
Jiujiu sighed, put the IOU on the table, warned them not to embezzle money again, and then left.
After returning to Qiu Shui Ju, for some reason, the whole place was silent, so silent that it was a little abnormal.
Jiujiu asked Aunt Gui beside her: "Aunt, why does Jiujiu feel something is wrong?"
Nanny Gui said, "I also feel something is wrong!"
"What happened?" Jiujiu was very confused, "Could something have happened?"
At this time, a very low cry was heard outside Qiu Shui Ju. It was a woman's cry. Although it was low, one could hear the sorrow, pain, powerlessness, and struggle hidden in the cry...
Jiujiu hurried out of Qiu Shui Ju, looking for the crying person.
But after she went out, she looked around Qiu Shui Ju and found nothing.
The crying of the woman just now seemed like her auditory hallucination.
She asked Aunt Gui: "Aunt, did you hear the crying?"
Aunt Gui is old and her hearing is not very sensitive. Gang’s crying was too soft and she didn’t hear it.
So he shook his head.
Jiujiu: “…”
"Ahhh, there's a ghost!"
