Chapter 947: The Young Marquis's Broken-Engagement Wife (Extra 5)
Young Military Doctor Xiao Meng (Part 1)
Meng Jifan is twenty years old this year. He just passed the military doctor assessment the day before yesterday and officially serves in the army with his master and stepfather. He is also the youngest military doctor at present.
Actually, although his medical skills were first taught by his stepfather Meng Yang, he often went to his aunt's Anyue Hall with his father to attend classes.
Doctor Shangguan there is considered a miracle doctor of the time.
It’s a pity that she only teaches medical skills and never accepts formal disciples.
Therefore, she taught many people, but Doctor Shangguan still had no formal disciples.
"Doctor Meng, tomorrow is another semi-annual inspection. Since you're new here, you'll probably be tagging along." Doctor Zhao, who had watched him grow up, gave him a few reminders. "Although we're providing free medical treatment to military households and laborers, you must also pay attention to your own safety."
"Right, right, right! Especially those laborers. Most of them are foreigners no one is willing to redeem, or prisoners exiled from the State of Yu." A doctor who had just been with them on the previous visit reminded him with lingering fear. "And many of the military households have grudges against these laborers. You should be a little careful."
Meng Jifan nodded. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not ask about it on the spot.
When I got home, my father had just returned. He mentioned this matter and asked me what I should prepare.
"Fan'er, don't worry about this. I've asked to go with you tomorrow so that we can have someone to look after each other." Meng Yang had always treated this child as his own. "I've asked your mother to prepare the necessary food and supplies. You just need to rest well and recuperate."
The father and son were talking!
Two children, one big and one small, came over with plates in their hands.
The younger girl smiled and said, "Daddy, big brother, please try some of these. These are the salty cookies that Mom just tried to make. She said if they taste good, she'll give them to you as dry food tomorrow."
"Your mother is knowledgeable and has great cooking skills. You know it's delicious without even trying it." Meng Yang picked up one and ate it while handing another to his eldest son.
Turning around, he saw his second son's somewhat flattering expression, and said with a hint of "disdain": "What are you doing? Are you going to cause trouble again?"
Meng Jihai was born to Meng Yang and Xu Hui.
But this child has been naughty since he was young, doesn't like studying, and has no interest in studying medicine. If it weren't for his eldest son inheriting his mantle, Meng Yang would really feel that he has no successor.
"Dad, you can't say that. My brother is still very good." Meng Jifan picked up a pancake and stuffed it into the other party's hand, "Second brother, you eat too!"
"Okay! Big brother still understands me!" Although they are half-brothers, the three siblings have a very good relationship. A pair of younger siblings especially admire their big brother who is more than ten years older than them.
Although Meng Yang admired the brotherly love and respect among his children, sometimes he felt that as the eldest son, he doted on his younger siblings more than he did as a father.
And it is obvious that his words are more effective than mine.
Just last time, Meng Jifan’s words “Be good and obedient” made his second son behave himself for several days.
After his second brother finished eating the pancake, Meng Jifan said patiently: "Second brother, are you in trouble? I saw that you seemed to want to say something just now!"
"Big brother, I heard that you are going to the mine tomorrow. I heard that there is a very special crystal stone on the mountain. Can you bring one back for me?" Meng Jihai said with some anticipation.
The mine is actually a salt mine, and the so-called quarrying is the collection of salt.
The crystal stone that Meng Jihai mentioned is actually a high-concentration salt ore.
In order to exchange for some supplies, some laborers would secretly hide some small pieces and wait for people from outside to pass by to exchange them for money.
The quantity is small and the transaction amount is not large either. It is just a small means for these workers to survive.
If the water is extremely clear, there will be no fish; if people are careful, there will be no disciples!
Most of the officials there would turn a blind eye, which was considered as giving them a way out.
"You really dare to ask for everything!" Meng Yang raised his hand to hit him in anger, but was stopped by his eldest son.
"Dad, it's just a small piece of crystal stone. It's okay!" Meng Jifan persuaded one side and then the other side, "Second brother, I can ask for you. If I can get it, I will bring it back to you. If not, I can't do anything."
"Thank you, brother!" Meng Jihai smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Early the next morning, Doctor Meng and his son took the military camp's carriage to the mine.
Perhaps because of the lesson learned last time, the free medical clinic was not set up inside the mine this time, but was set up between a military residence and a mine.
The free medical consultation was divided into two days - one day for military households and one day for laborers.
This will avoid the quarrel that occurred last time.
"This should have been done a long time ago, so that they don't have to waste a lot of time arguing with each other." said another doctor who participated in the free clinic.
Doctor Zhao, who was temporarily filling in for his friend, explained, "Doctor Luoyue's husband, Lord Xu Jia, has just been promoted to a higher rank and has officially taken over these matters. He was the one who arranged this. He's always been much more meticulous than others."
After hearing this, the father and son of the Meng family felt a little proud for a moment - they and Xu Jia were relatives.
