The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin

As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled on the courtyard of the An family, a silver glow. My sister-in-law sat quietly in front of the window, playing with a jade pendant in her hand, her eyes a little blurred.

She felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, she was relieved that she had finally married the woman of her dreams for her husband, but she also wondered if her husband would blame her for acting on her own initiative...

On the other hand, she was worried that the new member of the family would affect her relationship with her husband.

Wang Li has been busy seeing patients these days, leaving early and returning late, and he doesn't know what's happening at home. He still diagnoses and treats patients attentively every day, and although it's hard work, he feels it's worth it.

Whenever he sees a patient's condition improve, his heart is filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

The penicillin he made has not been used yet. It can be said that he dare not use it. He wanted to find a dying person to try it, but unfortunately he hasn't met one these days.

The next day, An Daoquan and Mi Xian returned from paying homage to their master.

As soon as Mi Xian came back, he clamored to eat Wang Li’s braised pork.

"Brother, do you still have your braised meat? The pot of soup you left behind is still not as delicious as the one made by the Teng brothers."

My sister-in-law said, "It's in the kitchen. Go and have some, little brother Mi."

Wang Li: "Well, Sixth Brother will take him there..."

Mi Xian was not polite and ran to the kitchen under the leadership of Wang Dingliu.

Wang Li saw that Mi Xian had also come, so he asked An Daoquan, "Brother, why did Brother Mi come back as well?"

An Daoquan explained to Wang Li: "Mi Xian was worried about my safety and insisted on escorting me for a while."

"Ugh…"

Entering the living room, An Daoquan saw his wife looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and said, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"My sister-in-law fell to her knees."

An Daoquan quickly stood up and asked: "Madam, why are you doing this great honor?"

Wang Li on the side was also confused. Nothing happened to his sister-in-law?

"My dear husband, I have something I hope you will do for me..."

"You and I don't have to be like this, husband and wife. If you have something to say, just tell me. I'll do as you say..."

The sister-in-law told him how she had secretly redeemed Li Qiaonu to be her husband's concubine, and then she knelt down without saying anything.

An Daoquan opened his mouth and looked at Wang Li...

"Brother, I've been busy these days, leaving early and returning late, so I really don't know what's going on right now. My sister-in-law didn't go to the pharmacy to get the money either!!"

Only then did An Daoquan remember that he had spent ten thousand strings of cash, but even if the An family sold everything they had, they would only have tens of thousands of strings of cash.

This one looked like it hadn't moved anywhere, so he asked in confusion, "Madam, you didn't go to get the money, but you borrowed money? Go get the money and pay it back."

Hearing that her husband did not blame her, she felt relieved and said, "No, I sold all my dowry and the captured money at home, but I still couldn't raise enough.

A few days ago, my uncle drew a picture for me, and I sold it for 5,000 strings of cash."

Wang Li was also curious about what kind of woman was worth ten thousand strings of coins, while the famous Du Shiniang was only sold for five thousand strings of coins.

He thought again: Can one of his paintings buy a Du Shiniang? He couldn't help but feel proud...

Then he said, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have drawn a few more pictures for you..."

An Daoquan had also seen Wang Li's "Human Anatomy Structure Diagram" and knew that Wang Li's paintings were worth five thousand guan if they were circulated occasionally, but it would be hard to say if there were too many of them...

He said, "Is the girl willing?"

"I have asked, and Miss Qiaonu is willing. Please wait a moment, my husband, I will call Qiaonu over."

As she said that, my sister-in-law went to call someone. Wang Li and An Daoquan were waiting in the living room.

After a while, my sister-in-law came over with a woman who had a graceful figure and a pretty face, like someone in a painting.

A pair of three-inch small feet stepped on exquisite embroidered shoes, and the steps were light, like catkins floating in the wind.

Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming flower, and her hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance.

Her eyes are as bright as stars, and her slightly upturned eyes are charming. Her lips are lightly rouge-coated, delicate and charming. Her fair skin is as soft and delicate as mutton-fat jade.

Her eyebrows are slightly furrowed, as if she has thousands of thoughts in her mind. When she walks, her waist sways like the wind blowing on a willow, giving people a sense of beauty of a willow swaying in the wind.

When Wang Li saw Li Qiaonu, who looked somewhat like his sister-in-law, he thought: No wonder An Daoquan in his previous life became obsessed with her after his wife died.

It was also because of that greedy madam that An Daoquan started charging expensive medical fees.

Wang Li took a look and said, "Brother, I will go and prepare a wedding ceremony for you tonight."

After saying that, he ran away without a trace.

After An Daoquan and Li Qiaonu talked for a while, his sister-in-law took An Daoquan and Li Qiaonu to his residence.

An Daoquan looked at the room his wife had prepared for Li Qiaonu and sighed, "Forget it, this is what she wanted, so I had to agree."

That night, the An family held a simple concubine-taking ceremony to welcome Li Qiaonu to officially become a member of the family.

Only Wang Dingliu and his son, Zhang Shun's mother who had recovered from her illness, and some of his disciples were there, as well as Wang Li and Mi Xian, so no one else was alarmed.

Wang Li simply hung up red cloth and red lanterns, and cooked in the kitchen himself and prepared two tables of banquets.

During the meal, the two tables of people who ate Wang Li's dishes were very satisfied, especially Mi Xian, who ate the most exaggerated...

Wang Dingliu said, "It's a pity that Brother Zhang is not here. We missed such a delicious banquet."

Zhang Shun's mother said with a smile: "It is important to work for the Taoist priest. Hey! I can rest assured following the Taoist priest. I have hope too!!"

Wang Li could understand what she said, and he even promised, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of Shun'er and his brothers' marriages!"

"That's great, come, I'll toast to you, Taoist priest."

"No need to call me Taoist priest. From now on, Auntie and Uncle Wang can just call me Wang Li. We are all family. I'll drink first to show my respect."

"Haha, OK, Brother Li!"

"Ugh!!"

…………

However, in this harmonious atmosphere, a sudden storm broke the tranquility of the An family.

The prefect of Jiankang City received a secret order from the emperor to arrest Wang Li and bring him back to Beijing.

The prefect was in a dilemma: on the one hand, An Daoquan had a very high prestige in Jiankang City and the people loved and respected him; on the other hand, he had to obey the emperor's orders.

He really couldn't find a suitable reason to explain all this.

What should we do if we call the lawyer over to discuss it?

The master said, "Sir, isn't this Taoist Wang Li the junior fellow of Doctor An Shen? What on earth did he do wrong? How could he have alarmed the emperor?"

The prefect only vaguely said that it was because the signature on one of Wang Li's paintings caused the emperor's displeasure.

After hearing this, the master suddenly realized that he had also seen the painting and he also thought that the signature was not worthy of the painting.

(During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, painters generally did not dare to sign their names, unless their handwriting was particularly beautiful.

Some of them would hide their names in the paintings, and if you don’t look carefully, you can’t find them. This was later called “poor style, hidden style”.

For example, the signature of Fan Kuanqian's Travelers in Broken Hill is on the tree.

Guo Xi imitated the styles of Dui Suan and Ji Fei Suan Ba Suan, and placed them beside the bushes on the left in the year of Ren Zi.

Li Tangqian copied the inscription "Spring of Jiachen in Xuanhe Period of the Song Dynasty, written by Li Tang from Heyang" on the distant mountains, etc.)

The master thought for a while and said:

"Sir, I remember that a few days ago someone named 'Sun Wu' reported a case."

"So what if I remember?"

"Sir, he suspects that his good friend Zhang Wang was harmed by this disciple of Doctor Anshen who just arrived in the city. Why don't we arrest him and interrogate him based on this reason?"

"Well, okay, let's do it."

…………

Jin Jie, the prefect's personal bodyguard and messenger, was the son of a patient once treated by An Daoquan. He could hear everything the prefect and his secretary were talking about.

The prefect asked him to order the constable to arrest Wang Li and notify the military camp to seal the city gates.

Jin Jie did not immediately go to the military camp to pass on the order, but hurried to An Daoquan's home to secretly report the news:

He hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in. Without even asking what the decorations were about, he shouted, "Doctor An, something terrible has happened! The prefect wants to arrest Taoist Wang Li and bring him back to Beijing for trial!"

When everyone heard this, they came forward with serious expressions. An Daoquan said, "It turned out to be Guard Jin. What's going on?"

Jin Jie hurriedly told everyone what he had heard.

Wang Li, An Daoquan and others were horrified upon hearing the news. Mi Xian was furious: "How can this be! Are you going to arrest my dear brother Wang Li for such a small matter?"

Jin Jie urged, "Master Taoist and this warrior should hurry up. The prefect sent me to the military camp and the police station to pass on the order. We really can't delay any longer..."

"Thank you, Guard Jin, but what will happen to Guard Jin after I leave?"

"I'm fine!"

"Okay, Guard Jin, go back now. We will leave immediately."

After Jin Jie left, Wang Li and Mi Xian said goodbye to everyone.

Wang Dingliu's father pulled Wang Dingliu over and said, "Brother Li, take my sixth son with you."

"Uncle, you..."

"You need him by water, go quickly..."

Zhang Shun's mother said, "Brother Li, are you going anywhere? When my son comes back, I will ask him to look for you."

"No, Shun'er will come back and stay here to help me protect my brother's family. I will come to look for him after I settle down."

"it is good……"

At this time, sister-in-law and Li Qiaonu also came out with the bag and Wang Li’s medicine box and handed them to Wang Li silently.

The sister-in-law apologized to Wang Li with red eyes: "Uncle, I'm sorry."

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. It's not your fault. It's this damned tyrant. I'm leaving now..."

After saying that, he picked up his bag and medicine box and said to Mi Xian and Wang Dingliu, "Let's go! Let's leave here overnight!"

After walking out of the door, he turned around and said to everyone: "Take care, everyone! See you later!"

"See you later" Some people said goodbye with solemn resentment, while others said goodbye with tears.

Wang Li took Wang Dingliu and Mi Xian away.

Wang Dingliu took the lead, using the excuse of getting medicine for the miracle doctor to open the city gate, and the three of them rowed away from the hotel...

In the darkness of night, the three of them set out on the road to escape, with anger and determination written all over their faces.

Wang Li could have explained things to Zhao Ji if he went to Bianliang, and maybe even gotten a job. But he resisted in his heart, not wanting to fight with a bunch of treacherous officials every day, and chose to flee out of anxiety.
