Chapter 69                                                             �

Tengxiang did not understand Zhou Mengchen's approach to Li Yunzhen.

It was absolutely true that there was no love in ancient times.

However, it was difficult for most ancient couples to talk about love, and it was more about obligations to each other.

Li Yunzhen married into the Zhou family, so she was responsible for taking care of her husband and children and doing housework. What kind of practice but not medicine is not what she should do at all. If Zhou Mengchen is still the small official of Wuchang Prefecture with a sesame and green bean size, Li Yunzhen might be fine. After all, no one paid attention to Zhou Mengchen at that time.

However, although Zhou Mengchen's official position is small, he is a close minister of the emperor. It is a great power to see the Emperor, which most court officials cannot see. Not to mention, he has the power to make suggestions in front of the emperor. How great the invisible power is, you can tell the Taoist priests.

Jiajing did not give him any power to those Taoists. But even so, these Taoists could be domineering on the ground, and local officials dare not care. Isn’t it because they can see the emperor and speak in front of the emperor?

The same is true for Zhou Mengchen.

This kind of power does not mean that Zhou Mengchen does not use it, it does not mean that others do not know that he does not have the power.

So I don’t know how many eyes are staring at Zhou Mengchen in the dark. Once Zhou Mengchen has any mistakes, it will magnify it more than ten times and put it in front of the emperor.

This is why Zhou Mengchen is also cautious when he goes out for a spring outing.

Not strictly managing the family is also Zhou Mengchen’s fault. Tolerating his wife to appear in public is not a good thing in the social opinion of this era.

In Tengxiang's opinion, why do you have to do this? Tearing Li Yunzhen a lesson and letting her stay at home honestly is no better than anything else, and it saves trouble.

Zhou Mengchen said, "You don't need to know this. Just say that you are busy, do you help me?"

Tengxiang shook his head and said, "It's okay to help you, let me think about it." Tengxiang thought for a while and said, "How is your wife's medical skills?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "The family-born medical skills, my father-in-law is the first doctor in Wuchang and once worked in the Imperial Hospital. He dared not say that he had all the true teachings, but he was not a quack doctor. In addition, my wife and brother are now in the Imperial Hospital, so it really doesn't work. If you have any difficult and complicated diseases, you can ask for some advice."

Tengxiang seemed to remember something and thought, "The Imperial Hospital, the new Imperial Doctor, the surname is Li. Is it Li Shizhen?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "You know each other?"

Tengxiang said, "Your brother-in-law is a pretty young man. You have long been famous in the Imperial Hospital. It is important to know that the Imperial Hospital prescriptions are all Taiping Squares. You don't ask for merit, but you want no mistakes. But your brother-in-law is not like this. He actually dares to use aconitum in the prescriptions of noble people."

Aconitum is a famous Chinese medicine. It is highly toxic. It has miraculous effects if it is used well. If it is not used well, it will cost human life. After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen frowned and said, "Is it okay?"

The prescriptions of Imperial Hospital do not cure diseases are certainly disadvantages, but there are also special reasons.

Don’t talk about the past. Even now, no one can guarantee that everyone will be saved. If you apply a strong medicine, once there is a mistake, you will be poisoned to death. If you are within the nine clans, don’t think about living. Between saving your life and the lives of others, it is naturally your own life.

Tengxiang said, "I have to say that your wife and brother-in-law really have the means and have real skills. Now it's spread. Xiao Li, the Taishu Doctor of the Imperial Hospital, is very serious, but he can cure the disease. But I want to talk to you too. You should let your wife and brother leave the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible. His temperament, if he has been in the Imperial Hospital for a long time, something will happen."

Zhou Mengchen smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."

If Li Shizhen's temper could be changed, he would not be Li Shizhen.

Tengxiang said: "Doctor Li's sister, do I have a place to go? I can let her practice medicine."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Brother Teng, please tell me?"

Fujixiang said: "Do you know Zhongguancun?"

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Do you know. Beijing Zhongguancun? The whole country is famous." But he also knew that these two place names must be different, and said: "Want to hear it carefully?"

Tengxiang sighed and said, "We eunuchs are all pitiful people. Zhongguan Village is not far from the north of the city. You will arrive after leaving the city. It is a place where some old eunuchs and unknown whites are not there. There are no men. If your wife goes there, you will not hurt any reputation. Moreover, there are discriminations there and there are no doctors. It can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

Zhou Mengchen thought about it and it was appropriate.

The reason why Zhou Mengchen came to Tengxiang to ask was because Beijing was deep. Zhou Mengchen was not very familiar with it.

When Li Yunzhen goes out to attend the hall, most clinics are afraid of trouble. They don’t want girls. This is why Li Yunzhen paid for free medical treatment by herself when she was in Wuchang. Generally, unless someone who can’t afford to see a doctor, she will not seek medical treatment.

People who cannot afford to see a doctor are generally poor.

The poor gathering areas are usually mixed with all kinds of religions, so maybe something will happen. If you are in Wuchang City, Zhou Mengchen is still sure. After all, the Zhou family lives in Wuchang for many years and is quite familiar with the situation in Wuchang City, but it is different in Beijing.

The situation in Beijing is probably more complicated than that in Wuchang. Zhou Mengchen didn't understand the situation either.

Zhou Mengchen heard Tengxiang say about Zhongguancun. Although he didn't know what the relationship between Zhongguancun and Zhongguancun, he thought that most of the people who lived here were elderly eunuchs who were castrated and could not enter the palace. This shows that this place has a close connection with the palace.

And Zhou Mengchen happened to have a relationship with the eunuchs.

It is not considered that Zhou Mengchen cursed the eunuch, but that his work relationship was naturally linked.

As for the reputation of Zhou Mengchen that Tengxiang thought, Zhou Mengchen didn't care much, he cared more about safety.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Brother Teng, nothing will happen in Zhongguan Village, right?"

Tengxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll say hello to others now. My face is still very valuable. I dare not say anything else. There is no place in Zhongguan Village that dares not listen to the greetings in the palace, and you are doing good deeds."

Zhou Mengchen said, "I thank Brother Teng, but since I am doing good deeds, Brother Teng will do good deeds at the same time?" Then Zhou Mengchen stretched out his hand?

Tengxiang said in a daze, "Brother Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "Money? No need to say it, I know that most of the people in Zhongguan Village cannot afford to see a doctor, right? As a developed eunuch in the palace, you should not help, it is also considered to have accumulated good deeds for yourself."

Tengxiang said: "Zhou Mengchen, don't be too greedy. It's always someone else who gives me money, but I don't give me money."

Zhou Mengchen said: "I have no choice? I have no money either."

Tengxiang said, "How much can it be used? You won't even lose dozens of taels of silver, right?"

The purchasing power of silver is still very high. Many herbs cost only a few cents. Of course, those expensive medicinal materials are naturally extremely expensive, but these medicinal materials are not affordable to the poor.

Zhou Mengchen said, "No. The money is in the hands of the slut, and the woman has shallow eyes. She obviously has a lot of money at home, and she is like the end of the world. I can't get money from her? So, just give it a little or two. Just borrow it from me."

After hearing this, Tengxiang said, "You, Mr. Zhou, still have today. Come and give me a reward of 100 taels of silver to Lord Zhou."

Someone immediately brought one hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Mengchen did not feel dissatisfied with Teng Xiang's money at all. At that time, the money Zhou Mengchen gave Teng Xiang was not one or two hundred taels, and now the relationship between the two parties is not one or two hundred taels of silver can be measured.

In addition, Zhou Mengchen was not unable to afford the money, but knew that Li Yunzhen would definitely not be able to save her when she arrived in Zhongguan Village. Instead, she was worried and thoughtful about her own money. After all, she is not a girl at home. When she was at home, Li Yunzhen was very righteous and had a good reputation for harming her second brother. However, as a wife, the whole family's livelihood was in her hands, so she had to make careful calculations.

Even if his family has money, Li Yunzhen would not dare to spend it.

Therefore, Zhou Mengchen wanted to use other people's money.

Zhou Mengchen took the silver and bowed and said, "Thank you. It's getting late today, so I'll go back and leave now."

Tengxiang watched Zhou Mengchen leave, and suddenly felt a faint envy.

He is a eunuch.
