Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 9 Taoist Jun
In the evening, the sky is filled with rosy clouds.
Zhang Shouan slowly regained consciousness. Mrs. Zhang held him and wept bitterly for a long time, as if venting all the grievances and worries of the past decade. Mr. Zhang also wiped his eyes gently. The Zhang family's only child had been saved. Heaven had been kind to him.
Zhang Shouan dissolved the pills in water and swallowed them. He chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Zhang for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Zhang Shouan was no longer in danger, Xie Qingli and Hu Er asked for their leave from Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang kindly escorted them to the gate of his mansion and arranged a luxurious carriage to take them off.
The wheels rolled, raising clouds of dust.
Inside the carriage, Hu Er hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sister Qingli, is that pill really made from Zhuyu grass?"
Xie Qingli smiled mysteriously: "It is said that Zhuyu grass is a magical grass in ancient legends. Eating it can keep you from being hungry for many years."
Hu Er's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Such a miraculous herb really exists! No wonder Old Doctor Xue didn't know about it." Then, a sudden realization dawned on him: "That's why you gave me the prescription without hesitation. If he couldn't find the Zhu Yu grass, then naturally, even the prescription would be useless."
Seeing Hu Er's clever look, Xie Qingli laughed. "You think I'm easy to fool, but you're the ones who are even easier to fool. You all believe everything I say." She shook her head slightly. "Do you really think there's some ancient magical herb? Even if there is, how could I have the good fortune to obtain it?"
Hu Er was immediately disappointed: "Isn't there any? Then how did you make your medicine?"
Xie Qingli covered her lips and chuckled: "If you say it is, then it is. If you say it is not, then it is not. In this world, things are true and false, who can tell the difference?"
She lifted the carriage curtain and pointed to the fields in the distance: "In a few months, what's growing all over the mountains and fields will be Zhuyu grass!"
Hu Er was speechless: "All over the mountains and plains?"
Xie Qingli nodded: "Yes! Brother Hu must have seen it. It has round leaves, thick stems, and a sweet and sour taste. If you squeeze it, your hands will be full of juice."
"Plants have their own nature, the universe has its own emotions, and everything in the world has its own value. And this grass is a lifesaver for the poor. In good years, it can feed pigs, and in bad years, it can feed people. How is this grass any different from the ancient divine grass? So why not call it Zhuyu Grass?"
Hu Er nodded repeatedly, sighing that Sister Qingli was so reasonable, but he was also puzzled: "Since Zhu Yucao is so common, why can't Old Doctor Xue tell it apart?"
Xie Qingli sneered, "A noble like Old Doctor Xue has naturally never tasted the flavor of Zhuyu Grass, so of course he can't tell the difference. Zhuyu Grass is just a weed that needs to be eradicated in their exquisite medicinal fields. So as long as I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, he will never find Zhuyu Grass in his lifetime."
……
On the other side, Doctor Xue returned to Renjitang and hurriedly ordered the waiter to collect information about Xie Qingli.
He believed that this little girl must have something special to win the favor of the old Taoist Lingxu. Putting aside other things, he didn't believe that there was only one Zhuyu grass.
Unexpectedly, the young man asked around and came back breathlessly, "Master, Dr. Song's brother was beaten a few days ago and is staying in our clinic. Dr. Song's mother rented a small courtyard near our clinic and comes to take care of Dr. Song's brother every day."
It was like searching for something without any effort. Perhaps the little girl's mother knew her best. Doctor Xue hurriedly sent for He.
When He heard that an important figure like Old Doctor Xue wanted to see her, she felt very nervous and uneasy all the way.
She was led into an elegantly decorated hall, where she saw an old man sitting majestically on a yellow pear wood armchair in the middle, with the clinic's manager, doctor, and several other people standing on his side. These people were usually arrogant, but at this moment they were extremely respectful.
Doctor Xue picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and then asked in a deep voice, "He, has your daughter behaved abnormally recently?"
He grumbled to herself, her daughter was raised in the Shengjing Marquisate, and she hadn't seen her in over a decade. How could she know anything was wrong? Oh, no, could the noble be asking about that little girl? Could it be that the little girl had offended the noble? Or had the noble taken a fancy to her?
Seeing He's distracted state, the shopkeeper, fearing that Old Doctor Xue would be angry, coughed heavily and shouted coldly, "Don't hide anything. Tell the truth."
He was startled and replied tremblingly, "Master, she used to be very timid, but recently she has suddenly become very bold and very strong. She is especially good at hitting people. My Baoer was injured by her."
Doctor Xue's face darkened. He had heard that Taoist Lingxu was not only skilled in medicine but also extremely skilled in martial arts. Could it be that he had not only taught that little girl his medical skills, but also martial arts? How abhorrent!!!
Old Doctor Xue's voice was as cold as frost: "Did she tell you why she changed like this? Did she mention anyone?"
Changes? The person mentioned? He thought of Song Wenxiu, wearing a wedding dress, sticking out her long red tongue, and Xie Qingli's strange transformation. Suddenly, she understood something. She shuddered with fear and replied tremblingly, "She, she's possessed by a ghost. It's a ghost wearing a wedding dress."
Doctor Xue was stunned. Was He hysterical? He should have been teaching medicine to a Taoist priest, so how could he have been possessed by a demon? However, his cloudy eyes rolled as a plan came to mind.
"Ms. He, since your daughter is possessed by a ghost, it would be best to exorcise it as soon as possible. The Lingxiao Temple on Nanming Mountain in Jiazhou Prefecture is extremely famous. The abbot is a direct disciple of the Grand Master. The Taoist priests in the temple are all highly skilled in exorcism. How about inviting the Taoist priests from Lingxiao Temple to exorcise the ghost for your daughter?"
Lingxiao Temple accepts payment for its services, and the wealthy families of Jiazhou Prefecture all know that the Taoists there are not powerful in magic, but in martial arts. Humph, if the Taoist priests find a pretext to say that the bitch's ghost is difficult to exorcise and take her to Jiazhou Prefecture, she'll be at his mercy.
He was a little hesitant. She had heard that it was very expensive to invite the Taoist priests in Lingxiao Temple. The money Song Zhaoxing gave her was spent on Baoer's treatment, and there was little left.
The shopkeeper was a man of good sense. He guessed what He was thinking at the first glance and stepped forward to whisper something to the old doctor Xue.
Old Doctor Xue sneered, he was indeed a lowly person, so fussy about petty gains.
"I know that farmers don't have much money, so the money for inviting the Taoist priest from Lingxiao Temple to divination will be fully covered by Renjitang. You just need to prepare yourself and lead the Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost tomorrow."
He was overjoyed upon hearing this, and expressed her gratitude profusely, "Thank you very much, sir, for your compassion. You are truly a great benefactor for ten generations. The Bodhisattva will surely bless you with a long life!"
Old Doctor Xue waved He away and hurriedly ordered someone to ride at full speed to Lingxiao Temple to fetch someone.
Before dawn the next day, a young Taoist priest brought a Taoist boy of seven or eight years old to Renjitang. The shopkeeper led the Taoist priest to meet the old doctor Xue.
Old Doctor Xue looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him with a frown. The Taoist priest had an extremely handsome face. He was wearing a green robe embroidered with silver brocade patterns. He held a whisk in his hand and had a neatly tied Taoist bun on his head with a silver-gray headband.
He didn't look like a Taoist priest, but more like a young man from a wealthy family, which was very different from the Taoist priests that Doctor Xue had come into contact with before.
What Old Doctor Xue didn't know was that when Lingxiao Temple sent out disciples to perform rituals, they would send different types of disciples based on the circumstances. If the employer was a female family member, they would send a handsome young Taoist priest who was easily favored by women; if the employer was a man, like Old Doctor Xue, they would send an older Taoist priest who was righteous and could convince others.
When they heard that the people to be dealt with this time were female relatives, and that they were invited by the distinguished guest, the old imperial physician Xue, they sent out the most handsome young Taoist priest in the temple.
Old Doctor Xue had no time to think about it. Since he was a Taoist priest from Lingxiao Temple, he thought his kung fu must be good, so he explained it this way.
Today, He was wearing a light smoky embroidered silk skirt and a moon-white cardigan. Her hair was combed into a cloud-like bun with a white jade hairpin inserted diagonally. She was waiting at the door of Renjitang in a very happy mood.
Suddenly, she saw a young Taoist priest striding towards her, followed by a small Taoist child. The young Taoist priest had a handsome face, and his silver hairband fluttered with his steps. He's heart also moved, and her cheeks suddenly flushed. What a handsome Taoist priest!
When Taoist Jun saw He's reaction, he felt a little proud and a little annoyed. A country woman actually dared to have desires for him.
Taoist Jun was extremely confident in his appearance. The ladies and young ladies from the wealthy families in Jiazhou City were all very satisfied with him and always gave him the most generous fees for divination.
I heard that today's mission is to deal with a country girl who has never seen the world. Maybe with just a snap of his fingers, the mission can be easily completed...
