Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 179: Divine Doctor Xiao

The silver left by my mother amounted to a hundred taels, Zhao Jun gave it to Lu He, and she was in a good mood for those few days. This was undoubtedly an unexpected windfall.

Everyone was smiling happily, and it was rare that no one gave him trouble.

With this sum of silver, they continued to stay in Qingfeng Town to treat his throat.

Afterwards, Lu He routinely teased him, bullying him for not being able to speak, as if she were seeking revenge for all the grievances she had suffered at the Zhao Mansion. The man’s face often turned gloomy.

When the woman wasn’t looking, a touch of tenderness would also appear.

A month later, the medicine took effect, and Zhao Jun could speak.

In room number three.

Lu He, Doctor Zhang, the shopkeeper, and the waiter with a pockmarked face were all there, eagerly watching Zhao Jun.

The shopkeeper and the pockmarked waiter were specially invited by Lu He, saying that they wanted to witness the moment he spoke, which made Zhao Jun, a grown man, feel a bit shy.

Suddenly, a book was thrust into his hands, and the words "Analects" were the first to catch his eye.

"Husband, come, read the content of the book aloud for everyone to hear, so everyone can witness that you can finally speak. Come, everyone applaud for my husband."

A round of applause followed...

In the past few days, he had been able to say a few words intermittently. By today, his recovery was almost complete, so Lu He gathered everyone to bear witness.

Zhao Jun received encouraging looks from everyone and suppressed his displeasure. The "Analects" was an introductory study; making him read it felt like an insult. Couldn’t they have used the "Sheep Public," "Three Strategies," "Zhongyong," "Warring States Strategy"...

He remained motionless for a while, and Lu He frowned slightly: "Husband, why aren’t you reading? Everyone is waiting, don’t be shy."

With a calm expression, the man took a deep breath and, resigned to fate, flipped open the book with his slender fingers and recited: "The Master said: ’Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what is learned at intervals? Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar? Is it not gentlemanly to not be resentful at others’ ignorance of oneself?’ Zigong asked the Master, saying: ’When our Master comes to any country, he does not fail to learn about its government...’ "

His voice sounded like that of a traveler in a desert who hadn’t drunk water for a long time, extremely hoarse.

However, every word uttered in the recitation was clear.

After reciting a section of the Analects, Zhao Jun stopped.

He was greeted by another round of applause.

Doctor Zhang was overjoyed, the results were far better than expected. Stroking his beard, he laughed happily: "Congratulations, congratulations, the results are remarkably good. It is truly unexpected."

Laughter echoed through the room and beyond.

Lu He, not yet satisfied, asked expectantly: "Doctor Zhang, if he continues to take the medicine, will it become even better? Like completely restoring his original voice."

The previously smiling elderly man stopped smiling.

"For it to recover to this extent is already rare." To make further progress would be...

Suddenly, he remembered someone: "Has Miss Lu heard of the doctor Xiao Mingchu?"

The chubby shopkeeper raised his hand enthusiastically and answered: "The divine doctor with miracle-working skills, Xiao Mingchu, I have heard of him. The largest Jiren Clinic in the Capital City was opened by him. It is said that his medical skills are outstanding, a master of the medical profession, Bian Que reborn, whose medicine cures all illnesses. Mrs. Wang from the neighboring town, who previously had an incurable disease, went to the Capital City to seek treatment from the Divine Doctor and was cured."

The chubby hand gave a big thumbs-up, praising Divine Doctor Xiao highly.

Lu He and the pockmarked waiter both opened their mouths in an egg-shaped O, looking surprised.

Their eyes, as they looked at the shopkeeper, held a trace of admiration.

Knowledgeable and experienced.

The elderly man stroked his small beard and corrected: "This person possesses remarkable medical skills, renowned throughout the Daqing Dynasty. Perhaps, you should take your husband to the Capital City to give it a try."
