To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Xu Huizhen was at a loss. Should she save this big shot who was rumored to have been knocked down by Zhu Yuanzhang with a roast goose?

If Xu Huizhen had saved Duke Wei as the unofficial history said, she would have offended Zhu Yuanzhang to death. However, history is written by the victors. Now Empress Ma is alive and well, Zhu Xiongying is alive and well, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao's position is stable. Every time Xu Huizhen checked Zhu Yuanzhang's pulse, the old man was smiling, and he was far from being as violent as later generations said.

Xu Huizhen was a doctor, and political correctness wasn't her concern. She was being paid to eliminate disasters for others! She had no personal grudge against the Duke of Wei. Who would have a grudge against real money? If they didn't want to go, it must be because the price wasn't enough!

Xu Huizhen, carrying her medicine box, and her entourage boarded the carriage sent by the Duke of Wei's Mansion. In ancient times, wealthy families would invite doctors to be picked up and dropped off by cars. This was a display of respect for the famous doctor and could not be sloppy.

Duke of Wei, Xu Da, was wearing a casual cotton suit. He looked energetic, but he was grimacing because of the abscesses on his back.

Xu Huizhen exchanged a few polite words with Duke Wei and then showed him the wound on his back.

Xu Huizhen was also shocked when she saw the abscess the size of a large goose egg on Xu Da's back. Even though it was swollen like this, the old man must be a strong man. The abscess head was the size of a one-yuan coin, glowing milky white, and was so swollen that it seemed fragile!

Xu Huizhen's scalp felt numb. If the abscess accidentally got on her clothes, it would be so painful that she would die.

The temperature of the old man's skin near his wound was frighteningly high. Even so, the old man was still teasing Xu Huizhen:

"Little girl from the Xu family, we are from the same family and we can't even write two Xu characters with one stroke. I heard that you are good with a knife. What a coincidence! I am also good with a knife. Little girl from the Xu family, can you cut off this piece of rotten meat and let me see it? I haven't tasted what my own flesh tastes like!"

Xu Huizhen glared at the old man and said, "You can't cut too big a piece of meat for now. I have a method that doesn't require cutting such a large piece of meat. Could you please, your servant, move something from my garden?"

Xu Da smacked his lips and said, "Little girl, you are not a straightforward person. It's not surprising for a man to lose a big scar on his head or a piece of flesh. Ouch, little girl, please be gentle. It hurts me to death."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said, "Old Duke, this sore is like a volcano. It hurts so much when you touch it. If you cut it off directly, you will suffer.

While Xu Da was joking, the perceptive housekeeper had already sent a capable servant to accompany Xu Huizhen's maid to the Li family to get something.

Not long after, the maid stood in front of Xu Huizhen holding a pot of fleshy cactus. Xu Huizhen did not hesitate to ask the housekeeper to call the chef with the best knife skills.

The housekeeper did not dare to delay and quickly called a man in his thirties from the kitchen.

After disinfecting the cook's hands, Xu Huizhen plucked a piece of cactus and said, "Now it's up to you. Your master's medicine can't have a single thorn in it. The skin must also be cleaned thoroughly. If there's no flesh left, then you must remove a thin layer of skin, otherwise it will be useless. After removing the thorns, cut into thin slices and set aside!"

The chef's cooking skills are really good. The cactus thorns are removed cleanly and the slices are cut into even thicknesses.

Xu Huizhen took out two tablets of cephalosporin powder and asked Duke Wei to eat it. The old man knew that this was a good thing, so he tilted his head back and swallowed it all. The housekeeper hurriedly handed him warm water.

Duke Wei let out a long sigh: "Xu family girl, just use whatever tricks you have. I, an old man, can bear the pain!"

Xu Huizhen applied cactus slices to the old man's wound and covered it with sterile gauze. She left the powder and gauze on for a few days. According to my method, whenever the cactus slices dry up, replace them with new ones. If there are no more, have the cook cut them. "I'll come back for a follow-up consultation with the old Duke in three days. Make sure your hands are clean with alcohol before touching the wound!"

Duke of Wei: "Is that the end? You're just trying to please me, an old man! I didn't even use a knife. How long will it take to heal with just this little bit of medicine?"

Xu Huizhen suddenly remembered, "You must keep a close eye on the Duke. Don't drink a drop of alcohol while he's taking the medicine! Don't use alcohol in the kitchen when cooking, remember! Otherwise, your Duke's life might be in danger. Just bear with it for a few days or half a month, and you'll be fine."

Duke Wei was so happy that he cried, "Can I eat meat from now on?"

Xu Huizhen was speechless: "Of course you can eat it!"

The housekeeper thanked Xu Huizhen profusely and sent her home.

Now Xu Huizhen usually does not stay at the patient's home. One of her attendants will stay at the patient's home to monitor and execute medical orders.

The three days passed quickly, and Xu Huizhen got on the carriage of Duke Wei's mansion to visit the old duke.

The old man looked much more energetic and sat straighter than last time. Xu Huizhen saw that the goose egg-sized wound had become the size of an egg, and the swelling on his back, which was originally the size of a rice bowl, was now only the size of a small bowl.

The powder needs to be taken for three days. When Xu Huizhen removed the gauze on her back, she happened to see the pus plug being brought out by the gauze. The huge pus plug, as thick as a thumb and half an inch deep, made the obsessive-compulsive disorder patient feel very comfortable.

The attendants around him gasped; they had never seen such a shocking pus plug. Even the Duke of Wei was horrified. His scalp was numb! This thing was tormenting him and keeping him awake at night!

Xu Huizhen took out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide to clean Duke Wei's wound, and white bubbles came out of the wound.

The old man, Duke of Wei, gave a thumbs up and said, "Xu's little girl, your cooking skills are amazing! I'm convinced! I drank a whole water tank of this bitter medicine. It was useless, but you cured me with just a few green hedgehog slices."

"Butler, come here and fill a cart with the furs you got a few days ago for Miss Xu. This kid is just what I like! I can understand what you say without being a bookworm."

When Xu Huizhen returned home, the Duke of Wei's mansion had actually loaded a whole carriage with leather. Mrs. Ding was fascinated by the variety of leathers. It was obvious that this leather was not ordinary. She picked out a thick bear skin and said to Xu Huizhen:

"Good boy, look at this thick cloth. The snow won't melt even if it falls on you. I'll make you a crane cloak with this. Your hands won't get cold when you go out in winter. These pieces of raccoon fur will make a coat for Muyang to wear"!

Xu Huizhen picked out a lot of ermine skins, and these are the ones I want to make a long coat for you. Coincidentally, among the materials the Empress gave me was a piece of stone-blue Shu brocade, which would be perfect for a long coat. This color really flatters you, and it looks especially good with a skirt with snow-white silver patterns. It makes you look even better!

Mrs. Ding: "I'm an old woman who rarely goes out. Don't waste all this good stuff."

Xu Huizhen naturally had the ability to make Mrs. Ding happy. The old lady happily arranged for the new clothes to be made. The family now had a good life, and Mrs. Ding lived a carefree life. Apart from taking care of her daughter-in-law and grandson and managing the household, she didn't have to worry about anything else. The sisters-in-law of the same clan envied Mrs. Ding for finding a daughter-in-law who would lay golden eggs for the Li family.

Xu Huizhen knew that these skins were just appetizers. In a few days, when Duke Wei recovered, the old man would thank her with real money.
