Chapter 86: Being on guard against others is essential
In this way, Li Sanniang agreed to Qi Zhidie’s request, and they officially exchanged names.
In fact, the matchmaker herself did not disclose her name. When she was ten years old, her mother sold her to Yapo for five taels of silver because her family wanted to show her love to her brothers.
So she still remembered her original surname Ji, but because she had already remembered the incident when she was sold, her mother-in-law just wanted to sell her at a high price, knowing that she was being sold to a romantic market. He sold her anyway, and now she felt resentful and didn't want to mention her last name, so she just asked everyone to call her the matchmaker.
Mother Li was a little sad after hearing this, because she often went to the countryside to deliver babies, so she had seen people selling their girls in the countryside, but those families would not really sell their girls if they couldn't survive. of. So they found Ya Po, preferring to sell the girl for less money and let her be sold into a rich family as a servant girl. In the future, whether she redeems her life and returns home, or she is old enough to be married to a servant, it is finally a way to survive.
A conscientious person would not continue to sell girls in a place where they know they will be sold to a sex market just to get a high price of money.
So, Mother Li also understood the matchmaker's reluctance to mention her surname.
Looking at it this way, it really echoes Qi Zhidie’s words. There is no girl who enters the building who is not suffering. It’s just a matter of who is suffering more.
Li Sanniang asked Mother Li to collect the few pieces of gold cakes and gems that Qi Zhidie had taken out before, but Li Sanniang did not confiscate the golden step shake inlaid with gems.
Although Li Sanniang didn’t know much about these girls’ jewelry, the golden step looked different from ordinary gold jewelry. There must be a story behind it. Therefore, Li Sanniang signaled Qi Zhidie to take back the golden step. Alas, the remaining girls from Shihualou who were able to form a private alliance joined in.
Everything has been collected, so of course we have to work.
Li Sanniang invited the matchmaker to go to the side hall for medical treatment. Since the matchmaker was relatively young, she asked Qi Zhidie about her wishes and invited Qi Zhidie to come with her.
As we got closer, the faint fishy smell that Li Sanniang smelled before became more and more obvious.
Li Sanniang had the matchmaker take off the thick makeup on her face, check her pulse, and then asked her to lift up her skirt and take off her pants for inspection. Li Sanniang also had an idea.
When asked, Li Sanniang didn't show it on her face, but she really couldn't bear it in her heart. The matchmaker was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and she had to go through this, which really made people feel distressed.
Qi Zhidie, who was nearby, helped the matchmaker tidy up her dress. The blush on the matchmaker's shy face had not disappeared.
Li Sanniang immediately wrote the prescription with pen and paper on the small table nearby.
"If Mrs. Qi really wants the matchmaker to survive, besides taking these ten medicines first, I will also prescribe a decoction to soak in water, and then use this medicine to scrub every day for ten consecutive days. The most important thing is Yes, the matchmaker needs to rest.”
Qi Zhidie naturally understood what Li Sanniang meant. The Shihua Building was not a big building, and there were only thirty-three girls in total. There are four girls, including Qi Zhidie, who have stopped receiving men for a long time. There are also three young ladies who have not yet received customers. Therefore, it is also important to have less matchmakers to receive customers. Yes, it's just that you'll earn less money.
"Mom, me."
Qi Zhidie rubbed the top of the matchmaker's hair and said, "Listen to Dr. Li, take a good rest for a few days and wait until you recover."
After all this fussing, the curfew has already passed. Just like the time she helped Dilibere last time, Li Sanniang took the lantern that Brother Li found specially when he came back from his previous shift. She went to the medicine cabinet and grabbed ten doses of medicine for internal and external use, and now she boiled a pair. , let Qi Zhidie bring it to the matchmaker to drink. Tonight, I left the three of them to stay in the front room for one night. I also made an agreement with Qi Zhidie that they would come back in three days. At that time, Li Sanniang would explain to her the details of joining the Girl's Support Association. And discuss together how to let Li Sanniang help the girls in the Flower House to see the doctor.
After being separated from Li’s mother, it was already past midnight when Li Sanniang went back to her room and lay down with Lu Zhuer in her arms, because she was afraid that she would not be able to catch the flash of ideas in her mind. In the dim light, I carefully wrote down the medical records of Dilibere and Tonight's Matchmaker, and also wrote down the contents of the plan I had previously thought about how to launch a girls' support association, which wasted time.
Because she exhausted her energy last night, Li Sanniang got up a little late the next day. Mother Li saw that she would have to get up for lunch if she went back to sleep, so she forced Li Sanniang to wake up.
Naturally, Mother Li told her family what happened last night before Li Sanniang got up, but she avoided the four little ones and only told the others after the four little ones went to school.
Today is Brother Li’s holiday. After hearing what Li’s mother said about Li Sanniang’s plan to set up a girls’ support group, I don’t think it’s impossible. After all, Brother Li thinks that his little sister has good skills. For those with medical skills, it is just a private alliance, which is easy to accomplish.
Brother Li is worried that Li Sanniang, as a future female doctor, will have a relationship with the girls in Pingkangfang. If the news comes out, Li Sanniang will face huge waves.
Although Brother Li does not follow Li’s father’s path of practicing medicine, Brother Li did a lot of homework in order to join the medical alliance in the past few years. Brother Li is watching from the sidelines and understands the characteristics of doctors. How important is reputation.
If Li Sanniang not only diagnoses and treats the girls in Pingkangfang, but also allows the girls in Pingkangfang to join the alliance she established, then it is not simply Li Sanniang’s business alone. It's about Li Sanniang's status as a doctor in the Medical Alliance when she joins the Medical Alliance in the future!
This is a big deal.
“Sanniang, it’s okay to hold an alliance. After all, I heard from my second brother that there are many private alliances in the Medical Alliance, and I haven’t seen the Imperial Medical Office not allowing it. I think as long as you pay taxes on time. , it's fine if you obey the rules. But if you want to help the girls in Pingkangfang, letting them join the alliance is a big risk. Who knows that one day you will be implicated? "
Pingkangfang is not a serious place, and the transactions of money, power and sex are not something that can be discussed on the table. Who knows what Qi Zhidie really wants to do? Are the girls in the building living for something else?
Li Sanniang has considered this, but she can't let it go, so she can't ignore these girls who are already suffering and let them fend for themselves. Li Sanniang felt that since she was in trouble, it was only right to lend a helping hand.
But it is also true to be wary of others.
"Brother, tell me, can I tell Mr. Li about not getting along with bad people?"
Not only Brother Li, but also other members of the Li family were stunned after hearing what Li Sanniang said. I didn't expect that Li Sanniang would actually think of finding a bad person to reveal the truth.
“I am a bad person who was tricked into joining by Mr. Bu. They will definitely let me and Aye help treat the injured in the future. So how can we not make good use of such a good opportunity? ?”
Brother Li echoed: “I think Sanniang’s idea is feasible. Those who should make use of it should make good use of it, otherwise Sanniang wouldn’t have paid any attention to it when she attended the banquet at Liang Guogong’s Mansion. It's dark."
"Sanniang, think carefully about how to tell Mr. Bu. Let Dalang go to the liaison office with you tonight."
Li Sanniang nodded, then turned to Brother Li and told him to take the equipment drawings he drew last time and go to Mr. Bu to ask the master craftsman to print out a few sets, so that he can hold the second lecture at the Medical Alliance in the future.
My dear friends, I owed a total of 7 updates during the holidays, and this is the first update to make up for.
