My husband is a sick cat

Chapter 165 Extra

After leaving the Tang family, Sun Yaozhong followed Tang Ying's suggestion and stayed at Rugui Inn.

Now I finally got a reply from my junior brother. Although I am not sure whether he can forgive me, it is good to at least have a chance to meet.

Under the moonlight, Sun Yaozhong stood at the window, looking at this strange place outside the window, but his thoughts gradually returned to his childhood.

Sun Yaozhong was an orphan. His parents died when he was young. After that, he lived on the food of hundreds of families. At that time, there was no such city here, only a small town called Lin'an Town.

At that time, Lin'an Town was not as big as Ping'an Town, nor was it as prosperous as Ping'an Town today. It was said to be a town, but in fact it was just a larger village. He was from Lin'an Village.

When he was seven years old, he was ill. His family had no money and his neighbors were relatively poor. He could only lie in bed and wait for it to pass. However, his condition became worse and worse. He felt that he was about to die. .

The last desire to survive prompted him to walk out of the house with difficulty. He happened to meet Doctor Qi who was passing by his house after seeing a doctor. He fainted directly in front of Doctor Qi.

As a doctor, he naturally has the mentality of saving lives and healing the wounded. Doctor Qi didn't think too much. He was sure that he was sick, so he carried him back and took good care of him until he recovered.

During this period, Dr. Qi learned about his condition, so he did not charge for the treatment. He also gave him a job as a medicine boy in a medicine hall, helping to get medicine.

Sun Yaozhong was naturally happy. As a medicine boy, he could not only take care of food and shelter, but also learn something. Even if he had no talent and couldn't be a doctor, as long as he could draw medicine and distinguish herbal medicine, he would be pretty good.

Moreover, Dr. Qi is the most famous doctor here. It is said that people who live far away come to him for medical treatment.

However, he heard that Dr. Qi did not live here originally. He passed by Lin'an Town and thought it was very good. He finally settled here and became a doctor in Lin'an Town.

At that time, Doctor Qi already had a disciple, Zhou Pingcheng, who was four years older than him. It is said that Zhou Pingcheng studied medicine with Doctor Qi when he was four or five years old.

Zhou Pingcheng and Sun Yaozhong are different. Zhou Pingcheng is calm and sensible, but Sun Yaozhong is adventurous but has a good mind. In just a few months, he was able to distinguish all the herbs. This surprised Dr. Qi. At the same time, It was also confirmed that he had the talent to study medicine.

After testing Sun Yaozhong for a year, Doctor Qi accepted him as his second disciple. At that time, he was not called Sun Yaozhong, but Sun Gouzi. After becoming a disciple, Doctor Qi changed his name to Sun Yaozhong.

Although Sun Yaozhong and Zhou Pingcheng have different personalities, they still get along very well, and both are very talented. They studied medicine with Dr. Qi, but in just a few years, they were basically able to treat people.

As they grew older, their medical skills became better, and they gradually became famous and became famous doctors of this generation. At that time, one was only twenty-one years old, and the other was only seventeen. age.

Zhou Pingcheng was from the capital. When he was 21 years old, his family came to take him back, saying that he was going back to get married or something. After leaving, he never came back until he also went to the capital. The two brothers met again.

After Zhou Pingcheng left, Sun Yaozhong was the only disciple of Doctor Qi. Relatively speaking, the relationship between Sun Yaozhong and Doctor Qi was closer. Zhou Pingcheng went back to the capital almost every year to visit his family, and every time Going for two or three months.

He doesn't need it, because he has no family anymore. For him, Doctor Qi is his family, and he has been following Doctor Qi since he was seven years old. In the past ten years, the two of them have lived together almost all the time.

Doctor Qi did not marry a wife, nor did he have any relatives, so although the two were master and apprentice, they were actually like father and son.

Under Dr. Qi's careful instruction, Sun Yaozhong's medical skills were already on par with Dr. Qi's at the age of twenty, and he was already married and had children. It can be said that Sun Yaozhong's life at this time was very complete.

But it was also this year that an uninvited guest came to Doctor Qi's medicine hall, a seventeen-year-old boy dressed luxuriously.

At that time, he did not know the identity of the young man. He only knew that the young man called himself Li and Yilin. He was not sick, but was weak. At the age of seventeen, he looked like a fifteen-year-old child. And the whole person is thin and pale.

When this young man came to Taoist Medicine Hall, he appointed his master, Dr. Qi, to see a doctor. He was not willing to let him see a doctor at all. At that time, Dr. Qi rarely came to see a doctor.

As a well-known doctor, Sun Yaozhong felt that he was being underestimated. However, the other party's clothes, words and deeds made it obvious that he did not come from a place like theirs. Moreover, this person also had a capital accent, so he could not be the child of a wealthy family in the capital. .

So even if he was angry, he didn't dare to mess around. He could only invite the master to treat the young man. Although more than thirty years had passed, he still remembered the master's surprise when he saw the young man.

Later he found out that the young man was not sick, but poisoned. His mother was poisoned when she was pregnant with him, and there were more than one kind. This young man was also very lucky, and under the influence of these toxins, He could still be born.

But as soon as he was born, his mother passed away due to hemorrhage due to the influence of those toxins, leaving only him as a newborn.

Over the years, he has struggled to grow up, but his health has become worse and worse. Some doctors have declared that he will not live to be eighteen years old, so he came here and asked his master for treatment.

When Sun Yaozhong learned this, he was extremely surprised. Although he also knew from drama scripts and the like that the richer the family, the more secretive things they did, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

The toxins in the young man's body were complicated, so he lived in the medical center directly. This stay lasted for three years. During these three years, Sun Yaozhong and the young man gradually became friends. It was only after they became friends that he learned this. matter.

I originally thought that this was enough to catch the horse, but I didn't expect that more horses were still behind.

Seeing that the young man's health was gradually getting better, a group of people came with the imperial edict. It was the first time he saw the imperial edict. It was also that day that he realized that this young man turned out to be a prince, and he His surname is not Li, but Ji.

Ji is the national surname of Dasheng Kingdom, and his real name is Ji Lin.

Ji Lin was an unpopular prince who could be bullied by everyone in the palace. He finally did something to please the emperor and got the chance to seek medical treatment. However, he had to leave for three years.

His father had countless women in his life, and there were more than twenty princes, not least of whom was him. If someone hadn't mentioned it, his father would probably have forgotten that there was such a son out there.

However, the imperial edict did not call him back to the palace, but directly gave him the title of the idle prince Qishan King, and then designated Qishan Province as his fiefdom, with only the right of residence, no management rights, and no decree. The kind that you can't leave at will.

On the surface, it sounds very nice, but in fact, it is just to imprison an unpopular prince in such a remote place. Fortunately, the emperor still has some face. Although the fiefdom given is poor, it is quite large and is the largest among all states and provinces. The largest one in area.

However, although Qishan Mansion is very large, one side is close to Qilin Mountain, and the other side is connected to the Wu Kingdom with strong folk customs.

Just like the name of their country, the people of the Wu Kingdom worship force and rely on their fists to speak. Even when the two countries are peacefully intersecting, the people of the Wu Kingdom will find trouble to clean up the people on the border, let alone the two countries at that time. It doesn't fit at all.

Although they were not incompatible with each other, various small frictions were constant, and the emperor at that time was lustful and greedy for comfort, and did not pay attention to these small frictions at all. Therefore, the lives of the people near the border of Wu State were very difficult. It's tough.

Dasheng State has also built defensive measures such as city walls on the border, but that is a bit of a guarantee for people in other state capitals, but not a big guarantee for Qishan Prefecture. After all, city walls can be built on the border, but Qishan Prefecture But not in Linshan.

Two-thirds of Qilin Mountain is within the territory of Dasheng Kingdom, and the other one-third is within the territory of Wu Kingdom. Those people from Wu Kingdom do not care about the danger of Qilin Mountain. If the city gate is closed, there is no way to come. They will come from Qilin Mountain, which is just as convenient.

This also makes the city wall defense of Qishan Mansion look like a decoration. As long as those Wu people want to cause trouble, they can come and act wild at any time.

Because of the harassment from the Wu people, people in Qishan Prefecture gradually began to leave their hometowns. The place was large but the population was small. In such an era, insufficient population would lead to insufficient productivity, and in the end they would end up in poverty.

Lin'an Town is far away from the border. It can be said that it is almost on the edge of Qishan Prefecture, so it is not a bad place. At least those people from the Wu Kingdom cannot come so far to harass them.

Ji Lin was granted the title of king, so he had to live in a provincial capital, not in such a fringe town.

The problem is that the capital city of Qishan Prefecture is located close to the border. It is said that the capital city was set up here so that the prefect would be responsible for guarding the city. Although the King of Qishan did not have the power of the prefect, he was still a member of the royal family. Of course. You have to live in this city.

Not long after the imperial decree came down, a prince's palace had been built in Fucheng and Ji Lin was taken directly there. However, at that time, Ji Lin's health was not good at all and he was in a critical period of detoxification.

So Ji Lin begged Dr. Qi to follow him back. In desperation, Dr. Qi agreed, but did not take Sun Yaozhong with him, but kept his family in Lin'an Town for ten years.

Ten years later, Doctor Qi returned to Lin'an Town and brought back a five or six-year-old boy, who was his junior brother Qi Chengji.

At that time, Sun Yaozhong thought Qi Chengji was the son of his master. Although the master was already sixty years old at that time, he was in good health and had no problem having a child.

But Doctor Qi said that the child was not his, but an abandoned baby he picked up from the roadside. As for Ji Lin's situation, Doctor Qi didn't mention a word. He just explained to Sun Yaozhong that he pretended not to know Ji Lin.

Sun Yaozhong didn't quite understand, but he remembered what he said. He still taught his son or his junior brother in front of his doctor every day. His son was four years older than his junior brother, but his talent was even better than his son's.

Not long after Dr. Qi returned to Lin'an Town, it was reported that Ji Lin liked hunting, and he also liked to go hunting in Qilin Mountain. For hunting, he built a city near Qilin Mountain, Lin'an City. It's almost the same city, but the layout is different.

Not long after that, a second city was built. When Ji Lin was building the city, and while hunting and playing, the old emperor's health failed. Apart from Ji Lin and the other two princes who were paid similar salaries, the old emperor still had 19 people around him. A prince.

Excluding those who are too young, those who are too old, and those who are completely incompetent, there are still seven princes who can compete for the throne. How they competed for the throne in the end, Sun Yaozhong didn't know, but during this period, his senior brother came to let him know. He went to the capital.

Zhou Pingcheng's letter stated that he had become the imperial physician in the palace, and now the palace was recruiting capable doctors to come to the palace to treat the old emperor, so he recommended Sun Yaozhong. As long as Sun Yaozhong was willing to go, even if he failed to cure the old emperor. , he can also guarantee him a safe and prosperous life.

Before receiving this letter, Sun Yaozhong's goal was to open his own medical clinic into a large medical clinic, and then support his master until he died. He did not have much ambition. After all, he knew nothing but medical skills.

After receiving the letter from his senior brother, he was a little moved. After all, being an imperial physician is the highest honor for a doctor. Being an imperial physician is definitely a matter of honor for one's ancestors.

Unable to make up his mind, he went to ask his master. Unexpectedly, Doctor Qi became furious and said that there was no such disciple.

It turned out that when Doctor Qi accepted Zhou Pingcheng as his disciple, he promised him that he would only be a doctor for the common people and would not enter the palace as an imperial physician.

Doctor Qi had never asked for Sun Yaozhong, but he asked for it after seeing this letter. This made Sun Yaozhong feel very strange why the master was so opposed to them becoming imperial doctors.

Doctor Qi did not explain at that time. Until Zhou Pingcheng's third letter came, Sun Yaozhong himself was still wavering, but his son yearned for life in the capital and wanted to see what the capital was like.

Sun Yaozhong only had this son. Although he was quite strict with his son, his wife was extremely doting on him and persuaded him to just go to the capital for a visit and not to enter the palace to become an imperial physician. It was not considered a violation of his master's words.

Sun Yaozhong actually wanted to go out and have a look. He had lived in this place since he was a child and had no chance to see the outside world. In the past, no one mentioned it, so he suppressed his thoughts and became a doctor honestly.

But once someone mentioned it, the idea grew like weeds, but he was unwilling to go against his master's words. When he was in trouble, Doctor Qi suddenly agreed to let him go to the capital. There was only one condition, he couldn't enter the palace, and other things. All at will.

Sun Yaozhong was very happy, but he also wanted to understand why. For the first time, he asked the master to tell him the reason. Doctor Qi hesitated for a long time and finally told him.
