Chapter 1094 Four times the consultation fee
Mrs. Zuo was really panicked now. The Duke of Yiguo’s Mansion had no power or power, and only inherited the title of Duke from generation to generation, and what was protected was the wealth and honor of the future generations.
But how did wealth come about?
Rely on royal salary?
That's a joke.
How much wealth can the royal family give?
The salary given by the royal family is not enough for the people in the mansion to pay for their own expenses. If you want to be rich, you have to rely on outside business.
The Zuo family has many businesses outside, but without exception, these businesses are all dependent on the Hong family.
To put it bluntly, they are now living on the charity of the Hong family.
A piece of land leaked out of the Hong family's fingers and cut it to them, and they could set up the stall in that place.
But if the Hong family's five fingers are closed and there is no gap at all, they can't even get started even if they want to do business.
After all, the Hong family is the only one in the world. Who dares to compete with the Hong family in the business world?
The Zuo family has always remembered the rule that they would not compete with the Hong family, and even curry favor with the Hong family, hoping that the Hong family would leave more room for them and allow them to make more money.
Mrs. Zuo knew this rule and kept remembering it, but she forgot about the fact that Duke Wen Guo’s mansion and the Hong family had relatives.
But the one who came here today is not only the fiancée of the ninth prince, but also the granddaughter of the Hong family.
Mrs. Zuo was a little depressed. Maybe it wasn't too much to argue with the future prince's concubine. After all, the Zuo family did not attend court, so the title of Duke Yiguo was basically just eating royal grain. It sounds nice to say.
But if you offend the people of the Hong family, it is related to the actual quality of life of the Zuo family.
If the Hong family really cut off their wealth, how could the whole family of Duke Yiguo’s mansion survive?
Unfortunately, she had already said it, and she couldn't hold her face even if she changed her words. Besides, she really wanted to protect her grandson. She was really afraid that the fate of the Zuo family's single lineage would be extended to her son! If this baby boy didn't live, there would be no boy in the future, then the title of Duke Yiguo to her son will be the last generation.
If the Zuo family had passed on so many generations of titles, how would she meet the ancestors of the Zuo family in the future?
"No, I still have to protect my child."
Mrs. Zuo gritted her teeth and said, "You must protect the child."
Bai Zhenzhen snorted angrily, "Okay, I protect your children, but I also want to protect your adults."
Mrs. Zuo, today I only look at the face of the unborn child, and also the face of the wife who worked hard to inherit the family lineage for your Zuo family. We have taken this matter in this life.
But you remember that from now on, the Hong Family will block the Zuo Family's business in the business world.
If you want to make money in the business world, unless the Hong family collapses, they will definitely take you seriously."
After she finished speaking, she shouted into the room: "Mr. Zheng, and that imperial physician, please come out! Our Jinsheng Pavilion will take over the matter of taking the baby with caesarean section. Thank you for your hard work, please go back and rest quickly."
As soon as the cotton curtain was lifted, Zheng Duo walked out first. When he saw Bai Zhenzhen, he hurried forward to say hello: "It turned out that Miss Four has arrived. I didn't expect that this incident even alarmed Miss Four. I am really sorry."
Bai Zhenzhen shook her head, "Mr. Zheng is so polite. Sister Yulin and I are good sisters. My second sister also told me before leaving the house that we must have more contact with Sister Yulin, so I am very happy that Sister Yulin can come to ask me for help when something happens.
Lord Zheng, come back quickly, leave it to me and I will handle it."
After saying that, he pointed to Zhuang Daiqiu beside him, "I brought the female doctor from Jinsheng Pavilion to take a caesarean section while saving my mother's life."
Zheng Duo breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so good, then I'll have to thank this female doctor."
Zhuang Daiqiu immediately returned the gift: "This is what the doctor should do."
Zheng Duo no longer stayed and was about to leave with his own people. But Bai Zhenzhen called him again: "Mr. Zheng, if your father asks me tomorrow, I hope Master Zheng will report what happened today."
Zheng Duo nodded solemnly: "That's natural, I will report it to the emperor truthfully."
Mrs. Zuo's heart shivered again. She could no longer hold on to her previous aura, and she didn't dare to stop Zheng Duo and others from leaving. She could only watch the people leave without saying a word.
Zhuang Daiqiu entered the house at Bai Zhenzhen's instructions, and the little maid carrying the medicine box behind her also followed.
Soon, the shouting of the Duke's wife in the room stopped and no more movement was made.
Zuo Yuanqing was still kneeling on the ground. When he heard that there was no movement in the room, he was so scared that he was about to disappear. He shouted at the top of his throat: "Shuyan, are you okay?
Shuyan, why are you silent?
Shuyan, talk to me, Shuyan!"
Bai Zhenzhen suddenly felt a little sad when she saw the man kneeling on the ground and calling her wife's name.
If one day she also faces this situation, will his man do this too, crying and calling Zhenzhen?
It probably won’t be possible. She thought that her sister is a miracle doctor and she shouldn’t have the chance to face such a situation.
But her man will definitely protect her in the tip of her heart, and will definitely call her over and over again, just to comfort her, give her courage and strength.
But where is her man?
When will you come back?
"Miss Four."
Zuo Yuanqing turned around and called her, but the man was still kneeling, "Miss Four, why is there no movement inside?"
Bai Zhenzhen came to her senses and said "Oh", "You don't have to worry. Although I am not a doctor, I have known a little bit if I have helped my sister manage the Jinsheng Pavilion for so long.
Caesarean section is different from ordinary delivery. My sister calls this behavior surgery, and surgery requires anesthesia for the patient.
Your wife should have been given anesthetic medicine by the female doctor, so she lost her voice.
You don’t have to worry. Since we are here, we will definitely give you a satisfactory result. If we are not sure, we will not take over this job.
Don't worry, your wife and children will be fine."
After hearing her affirmative statement, Zuo Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered that he had to thank his benefactor who saved his life. He happened to be kneeling, so he kowtowed to Bai Zhenzhen.
Bai Zhenzhen gave in a half step to the side and avoided the direction of his kowtow, "Duke Yiguo, I, a little girl, can't bear it.
The reason why we rescued each other was to relieve Zheng Yuanshou's trouble, and the other was that you and your husband had a deep relationship, which was really touching.
But I just said something. In the future, your Duke Yiguo Mansion will not be able to rely on the Hong family in business."
"I see."
Zuo Yuanqing sighed and nodded, "The Zuo family deserves the crime, this is retribution.
Today, my mother said rudely. I am here to apologize to the fourth lady for my mother. I hope that the fourth lady will not take it to heart, which has disturbed her mood."
Mrs. Zuo stopped talking now. The family business was gone and she offended the ninth prince's future concubine. Even if the ninth prince didn't care about them, the ninth prince was still the sister of Princess Tianci.
The Princess Tianci is not a good person. She can even burn her own house. If she goes back to Beijing in the future and hears about this, the Duke Yiguo Mansion will settle the accounts, and it is very likely that the Duke Yiguo Mansion will burn it with a torch! She was upset and let her son admit her mistake for her. Bai Zhenzhen didn't say anything and just stood there waiting.
Finally, nearly an hour later, a maid in the room lifted the curtain and said to the outside: "Congratulations to Duke Yi Guo, mother and son for their safety."
Duke Yi stood up and rushed in.
The old lady clasped her hands and kept talking to the West, saying something about the ancestors who blessed the Bodhisattva.
Zheng Yulin was annoyed when she heard this and reminded her: "It has nothing to do with the ancestors and Bodhisattvas. What really blesses your family is the Pavilion of Heaven and Life.
Old lady, you have a grandson now, so you can accumulate more virtue!”
After saying that, he pulled Bai Zhenzhen: "Let's go. The female doctor will do the next thing. Let's not get frozen here."
Bai Zhenzhen nodded. Didn’t she be froze? After standing for so long, no one asked them to sit in any room for a while, and she didn’t even deliver a cup of hot tea. She was already anxious and didn’t wear too thick clothes, so she was almost frozen to death.
Seeing that they were leaving, Mrs. Zuo wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and didn't say it, so she had to signal the butler to deliver it to her.
Bai Zhenzhen waved her hand, "No need to bother the housekeeper, just send a little maid to send her off.
Actually, I remember the way to the mansion gate. After all, your house is just so big, it is not as big as my yard in Hongfu, so I won’t get lost.
By the way, when my female doctor comes out later, I remember to pay the medical fee. The Ge of Emperor Sheng is a free medical consultation, but it is a free medical consultation for the poor. For families like you, you will have to charge double... Oh no, four times, four times the price!"
After Bai Zhenzhen said this, she left without looking back, leaving Mrs. Zuo in the wind.
She asked the maid around her: "What is the price of four times?
Is it expensive for doctors in Jinsheng Pavilion to visit?"
The maid beside her thoughts and said, "I heard that the doctors in the current life of the Pavilion are the best in the world, especially Song Shimeng Shu and two female doctors. They received the personal teachings of Princess Tianci, and their medical skills are even above the national doctor Xia Yangqiu.
Although they usually do free medical consultations with poor people and do not charge cash, they are never ruthless in collecting money from wealthy families. The price is extremely high, and at least ten times that of a clinic outside."
"ten times?"
The old lady almost fainted, “How much money does that cost?
Why are they so expensive?”
The maid sighed, "It's up to you to be smart in medical skills! After all, taking a caesarean section can protect adults. I have never heard of such medical skills in ancient and modern times.
But I have done it in the Jinsheng Pavilion. With this trick, I guess I have to pay a sky-high price.”
The old lady was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "I just said that she only had the child but not the nanny. Why did she just have both?
If the Xisheng Pavilion is going to pay a sky-high price, how much money will our family have to pay?
It would be better to save yourself a new marriage for Yuan Qing and save her life for nothing. The more I think about it, the more cowardly I become."
The maid stopped talking, she was also a woman. If one day her husband's family treated her like this, she would hate her for the rest of her life.
