It is common sense that you should not eat chicken soup after diarrhea, so Mrs. Tong stopped eating for a few days.

Doctor Li from the south has arrived.

The old man is over seventy years old. He has been an imperial doctor all his life and worked hard in the harem until he retired. He is not an ordinary person.

After retiring, he wanted money, fame, status and status in the local area. After all, he had been a doctor all his life and really had everything. So it was impossible for an ordinary person to hire him for such a big job.

The torment from afar.

What brought him here?

Even his children are puzzled.

Dr. Li secretly answered in his heart that it was money, it was money, it was sinful money that caused him, an old man like him, to come to see a doctor.

Although the average doctor pays tens of taels for a visit, and the better ones give a few taels of silver. When he was an imperial physician, he treated the emperor for free, but for treating a nobleman, it was very good to be given a hundred taels of silver.

.

It was still a serious illness that could not be cured by others, but he cured it.

Of course, even if this is the case, if he accumulates it throughout his life, he will still be quite rich.

After he retired, he returned to the countryside with a group of wives, seven sons, more than 30 grandchildren, and countless great-grandchildren.

In addition, there are a lot of relatives, friends and tribesmen in the countryside. They all regard him as a money bag. When he retires and returns to his hometown, he will probably have more than 20,000 to 30,000 taels of money and things. No matter where he puts it, he will be a rich man.

, but it turns out that in just a few years, the money has been spent.

So when the butler of the Tong family offered 500 taels, he held back.

When it reached 1,000 taels, he hesitated.

In the end, the evil housekeeper proposed that the 1,000 taels was just an advance payment, and it would be doubled when he came back. If the leg was cured, he would pay more in addition, which amounted to more than 3,000 taels for just one patient. Such temptation finally came |

Knocked him out.

The old man has to make a trip with him.

Doctor Li has arrived.

The Tong family members immediately informed the old lady and Mr. Tong separately.

Old Mrs. Tong himself is the recognized leader of the Tong family. Once he comes back, no matter how strong Mrs. Tong is, she will not be able to escape this iron law. People below will still follow her.

Of course, the more important thing is that Mrs. Tong is ill now. Many people will think that Dr. Li was hired for Mrs. Tong, so they reported to Mrs. Tong as soon as possible.

People from both sides came out to invite Dr. Li, who followed the international practice at the time and went to see Mr. Tong.

Mrs. Tong was sleeping on the bed. After several days of detoxification, there was a lingering smell of salted fish in Mrs. Tong's room.

When Dr. Li entered the room, a medical boy arranged a medicine pillow and a chair for Dr. Li to sit down.

Both sides exchanged pleasantries.

Mr. Tong knew Imperial Physician Li. After all, he was a fifth-rank doctor before he retired. Although he was not a high-ranking doctor in Beijing, he was indeed of high standard and had enough connections to hire the imperial doctor, so he knew a lot of them.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a general practice. Even if Dr. Li is best at orthopedics, internal medicine consultations will be no problem at all.

After seeing the doctor, he felt that what the previous doctor said was reasonable. It was indeed possible that Mrs. Tong had eaten carrot seeds. However, he was still shocked when he saw his three daily meals provided by Mrs. Tong.

When Mr. Tong returned home, his life was indeed much more comfortable than his own. It seemed that being an official was indeed profitable, even if it was a fifth-grade official whom he had despised at the beginning.
