“Please come in!”
When Xiao Zeyu heard that Zhang Jinglin had come, he was slightly stunned. His expression was a little unhappy. Was he late to show that he was different? He wanted to see what this Zhang Jinglin had to say.
He would not put such an arrogant person in an important position. Even if he ignored him now, he would not listen to his orders in the future.
“Zhang Jinglin was delayed by something; please forgive him, Young Master.”
Zhang Jinglin walked into the lobby in a single layer of clothing in the middle of winter. When he entered, he lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground. His face was lean, and there was a look of worry between his brows.
Xiao Zeyu raised his eyebrows. Had something happened to him? The displeasure from before disappeared. He walked over and helped him up with both hands. He asked with concern,
“Is it settled? Do you need my help?”
Zhang Jinglin was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes. He was late, but Young Master didn’t blame him and even wanted to help him solve his problem? Then he would agree to his request for medical treatment, right?
Zhang Jinglin kneeled on both knees and looked up at Xiao Zeyu with reddened eyes.
” Thank you, Young Master. My mother suddenly fell seriously ill last night. I invited the best doctor in Jin City, but they were helpless. 1 heard that Young Master’s military doctor’s medical skills are excellent. 1 beg Young Master to have mercy on my mother and send a military doctor to save her. Jing Lin will repay you for treating my mother.”
So it was his mother who was sick? Everyone respected filial sons and grandchildren. Xiao Zeyu valued him even more. He quickly helped him up and turned to look at Su Qing. How could a military doctor have such high medical skills? Those medicines were all given by Qing’er.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Su Qing could see Xiao Zeyu’s love for talent and respected Zhang Jinglin’s filial piety. Without Xiao Zeyu saying anything, she took the initiative to go along.
Zhang Jinglin wanted to ask for help from the military doctor. When he saw that Su Qing wanted to go with him, his eyes were filled with anxiety. Even the famous doctors in Jin City were helpless. How could a little girl cure her mother’s life?
Xiao Zeyu saw his suspicion and smiled, “The military doctor’s medicine is all made by Miss Su. Jing Lin, don’t worry.”
Zhang Jinglin was ashamed of his earlier suspicions. He bowed deeply to Su Qingshen. “Thank you, Miss Su.”
Su Qing looked at him expressionlessly and walked out of the door. She didn’t say any polite words and looked cold and aloof.
Zhang Jinglin was a little embarrassed. Miss Su must have been angry at him for doubting her. He bowed to Xiao Zeyu and said,
“Young master, please excuse me.”
“Hurry up and go. Come and see me when your mother recovers.”
Xiao Zeyu nodded, telling him not to be overly polite.
Su Qing followed Zhang Jinglin to his house. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as impoverished and destitute. There were only two wooden wardrobes in the low adobe house. Other than that, there was no other furniture.
No wonder Zhang Jinglin was wearing unlined clothes in the middle of winter. His family was so poor!
Zhang Jinglin anxiously said to Su Qing,
“Miss Su, please take a look at my mother.”
Su Qing walked over to check on the patient’s condition. The woman on the brick bed looked to be about 40 years old. Her face was in pain, and her hands covered her stomach as she curled up her body and moaned.
Su Qing sat by the bed and took her pulse. She looked at the skinny woman and asked Zhang Jinglin, “Is she vomiting everything she eats? This has been happening for more than one day?”
“Yes, recently, for about a month, she has been throwing up everything she ate. Recently, her stomach had been hurting badly. She had looked for many doctors, but they said they could not cure her.”
Zhang Jinglin nodded. To treat his mother’s illness, the family had sold everything they could in the past few months. They had already run out of money and food. He participated in the winter examination to earn a bonus to treat his mother’s illness.
The first place would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and even the third place would be awarded sixty taels. To treat his mother’s illness, he did not care whether the imperial court held the examination. In any case, the Xiao family’s army had a very sacred position in his heart. Even if the son of General Xiao Heng could not succeed in the future, he would die along with him.
In any case, the Wan family was his enemy. If someone could overthrow them and help him take revenge, he was willing to die with them.
“Can Miss Su cure her?”
Zhang Jinglin saw Su Qing put down his mother’s hand and asked her hurriedly.
“Your mother has a mass in her stomach. This hazardous illness requires thousand-year-old Lingzhi to concoct medicine to cure it. However, thousand-year-old Lingzhi is hard to find now.”
When Su Qing heard Zhang Jinglin’s question, he called him outside and explained her condition in detail.
A mass was a term used in traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine called it stomach cancer. This woman’s stomach cancer had already reached the late stage. She would have to use the repair pill if she wanted to save her. Ordinary repair pills would not work. She would have to use a thousand-year-old lingzhi to cure her.
However, ordinary restoration pills could also delay her life and allow her to live for another three years. This was already the best solution at the moment.
“As long as Miss Su can save my mother, my life will be yours.”
Hearing that Su Qing could save his mother, Zhang Jinglin knelt and kowtowed to Su Qing. He had nothing now, so he could only repay him with his life.
“Here’s a painkiller. Give it to your mother first to relieve her pain.”
Su Qing handed him a pain pill. Cancer pain was a level nine pain that most people could not endure. Since she wanted to save the patient, she should not let the patient suffer.
Thank you, Miss Su.
Zhang Jinglin thanked him profusely. Su Qing nodded and told him not to stand on ceremony. “I’ll find Lingzhi to make some medicine. You make some porridge for your mother!”
“This is an antiemetic. Give it to her before she eats.”
Su Qing handed Zhang Jinglin an antiemetic and instructed him on how to take the medicine before leaving the Zhang family.
“Mother, we met a good person.”
Su Qing heard Zhang Jinglin’s voice when she reached the main entrance. He was a grateful person. She had saved his mother then so he would be loyal to Xiao Zeyu.
After leaving the Zhang family, Su Qing searched for Lingzhi in all the medicine stores in the city. After the war, there were more and more casualties. The Lingzhi in her system had long been used up, and she had to replenish her medicine as soon as possible.
While Su Qing was looking for medicine for Zhang Jinglin, Xiao Zeyu ordered Chen Qingzhou to take up his post and take on the responsibility of Jin City.
Song Fu first assisted Chen Qingzhou in the government office, and Xiao Zeyu also sent people to find the remaining five examinees. He said that if they were willing to follow him, he would arrange for them to be officials. It would just depend on whether they had the courage or not.
As expected by Xiao Zeyu, these five people were all hot-blooded youths. Since they dared to take the exam, they wanted to fight for the world with him.
To train them, Xiao Ze asked these five people to prepare for the martial arts examination.
It was easy to find a thousand soldiers but hard to find a general. Xiao Zeyu opened a martial arts examination hall to find a good general. Besides outstanding martial arts, he also had to understand the art of war.
Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing couldn’t go to every battle personally. If he and Su Qing attacked Luo City, Jin City would need people to lead troops to defend the city.
It would be best if they could select a few more generals. After all, they would need someone to lead troops to defend the city.
When these five people heard that Xiao Zeyu would hold a martial examination, they felt they had followed the right person. After all, he was the son of General Xiao Heng. He was steady, and they could contribute by following such a wise leader.
Xiao Zeyu had set the martial exam for five days later. These five days were the preparation time. Xiao Zeyu was in Jin City selecting generals, and in the capital, Wan Shengchang saw the commander who had escaped from the coal mine..
