Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 413 Reasons

At this point, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to replace the servant and help the candidate to the doctor's table.

This medical table belongs to Huichuntang. Although several doctors are present, Doctor Ma is still in charge. He felt the pulse and asked, "What did you eat this morning?"

Without waiting for the candidate to answer, his mother said, "We were afraid that the food outside was not clean, so we cooked it at home. He wanted some runny eggs, but I was worried that they were not cooked enough and he would get a stomachache, so I didn't agree to his request."

At this point, she started crying again, "We were so careful and took every aspect into consideration, how come something still went wrong?"

The doctors started to comfort each other.

"It's come to this. It's useless for you to worry. You should let Brother Ma treat you first. Heal your illness and get well as soon as possible. You can take the exam next time."

"Yes, if you study for a few more years, your foundation will be more solid and you will get a better ranking in the exam. Maybe you can pass the exam and become a juren directly."

His mother was not comforted. Her tears continued to flow and her voice was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak. So her daughter-in-law continued to answer Dr. Ma's questions.

"My mother-in-law was worried that my husband would not have enough energy for the exam, so she killed a duck at home. I cooked it at midnight last night, and it was already very soft this morning. My husband ate half of it, and I used the duck soup to cook him a bowl of noodles."

After hearing this, several doctors had their guesses.

"Doctor, why does my husband have a stomachache?" his wife asked.

Before Doctor Ma could answer, the examinee gnashed his teeth and said, "Souzi is harming me!"

Upon hearing this, his mother and his wife asked together, and it turned out that the search this candidate encountered was extremely strict. The search lasted for a long time and was so thorough that the candidate had to wear only a single layer of clothes and stand in the cold wind for a particularly long time.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard this, they were furious. The mother wanted to ask the officers for an explanation, but the candidate stopped her: "Mother, don't be impulsive. Your child hasn't achieved any fame yet, how can he fight against the officers?"

When his mother heard this, she burst into tears.

Doctor Ma cleared his throat and said, "You can't blame Souzi for this. Duck meat is cold in nature. It's really not a good choice to eat in the middle of winter."

"Duck meat is cold in nature?" His mother was shocked. "Doctor Ma, are you saying that my son's diarrhea is caused by duck meat?

Oh, we didn’t know that! We only have a few ducks at home to lay eggs. I bought my son a new pen and inkstone for the exam, so I really don’t have any money left to buy meat. It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! I should have gritted my teeth and asked his aunt to borrow more money!”

Doctor Ma said quickly, "Don't worry, Auntie. This is just one of the factors. Let me ask you, does your family eat a lot of oily meat?"

Although his mother didn't understand why Dr. Ma asked this, she still answered honestly: "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. My family is poor. In order to support my son's education, we borrowed a lot of money. We can't afford to buy meat on weekdays. During the New Year, we only cooked a few pieces and shared them with the family after offering sacrifices to our ancestors."

Tao resonated with this and said immediately, "What a joke! How many times can we poor people eat meat in a year? It's the same for everyone!"

Doctor Ma stroked his beard and said, "That's it. Your son usually doesn't eat much oily food, and his health was not very good to begin with. He suddenly ate so much duck meat, and his stomach was already a little uncomfortable. In addition, duck meat is cold in nature, and he took off his clothes and was frozen in the cold wind, so he got a stomachache."

"Is it bad to eat too much meat?" his mother was shocked.

"It's not that I can't. It's that I usually eat little. If I suddenly eat a lot, my stomach and intestines will have trouble adapting." Doctor Ma explained patiently, "I understand that at this important time, you want to give the candidates something good to replenish their body, but if you suddenly change your diet, it will easily cause problems with your stomach and intestines, especially if you don't eat well on a daily basis."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tao also became anxious, "Oh, there is such a thing? My Qing baby is not going to have a stomachache too, is he?"

She couldn't sit still for a moment. Yuan Shan was very puzzled: "Brother has always been restrained, he wouldn't necessarily eat and drink a lot."

"You don't know that when your father came to take the county exam, he was craving for the braised pig's trotters at Zhiwei Restaurant, but unfortunately he didn't bring enough money, and he regretted it for a long time. When he came to deliver clothes to your brother a few days ago, he deliberately left some extra money for your brother, telling him to buy whatever delicious food he wanted."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan became anxious. It took three generations for her family to finally produce a promising person like her brother. If her brother really got a stomachache after eating the pickled pig's trotters, not to mention that he would have to waste a few more years of life, the villagers would laugh at him if they knew.

Song Ying hurriedly said, "Don't worry. When I met Yuan Qing a few days ago, I told him about this."

Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, holding Song Ying's hand, and kept thanking her: "Luckily you are here! If Qingwa passes the exam, Grandma Tao will give you a big red envelope."

Song Ying smiled and said, "That's settled. I must take part in this joyous occasion."

Mrs. Tao liked what she heard, and smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "Grandma Tao, I will never change my mind about what I have said!"

This made the family of the candidate who had diarrhea very envious. His family had no hope this time. The family was filled with regret and took the prescription home.

After that, no candidate was helped out.

Come to think of it, for such a serious exam, even if someone is not feeling well, they will force themselves to finish the exam, unless they are like that candidate, who really cannot bear it any longer and will leave the exam room.

Except for Tao, several doctors present did not have any candidates at home, so the wait was not difficult. Although it was cold, they were roasting by the fire and talking about medical skills and cases, which was quite interesting.

At noon, a servant from the government office suddenly ran over in a hurry and started shouting from a distance: "Doctor Xiao Song! Doctor Xiao Song!"

"Who is this?" Yuan Shan was very confused. There were so many experienced doctors present, who would come up to Song Ying to see a doctor?

"It looks like a servant from the Chen residence. It must be something that happened to Mrs. He." Song Ying recognized the person, answered quickly, and grabbed the acupuncture bag and medicine box.

At this time, the servant ran over, grabbed Song Ying and turned around and ran back: "Doctor Xiao Song, come quickly! Follow me! Our wife has fainted!"

Song Ying was startled, and without caring about his image, he slung the medicine box over his shoulder and shouted, "Let me go, I'll run!"

This scene simply shocked Yuan Shan and Tao. When they saw Song Ying and the boy heading to the county government office, they were even more shocked, "Is Mrs. He living in the county government office?"

"Mrs. He is the wife of County Magistrate Chen, so she naturally lives in the backyard of the county government office." Lin Wenxuan explained.

Tao and Yuan Shan were even more surprised. "This is incredible! Song Ying can even treat the prefect's wife!"

Lin Wenxuan smiled and thought to himself, let alone the prefect's wife, other wives of officials also came to see his junior sister for medical treatment.

Song Ying and the servant walked into the government office and arrived at the Chen family's flower hall where guests were received.
