Chapter 271 Surgery in progress
Song Qingci looked at Shan Li, "Why don't you ask me what I talked about with him?"
Shan Li was originally curious, but since A Ci didn't let him go, he gave up the idea of asking.
He still had some understanding of how Ah Ci did things. She would naturally say what she wanted to say, but if it was something she didn't want to say, then no matter how you questioned her, she wouldn't say a word.
"Are you willing to tell me?" Shan Li asked instead of answering.
"It's not a matter of willingness or unwillingness. You will need to know this sooner or later." Song Qingci initially refused Shan Li to go with him in order to respect the patient's privacy.
In addition to discussing the price to be paid, they also talked in detail about the condition and surgery.
As an outsider, there was no need for Shan Li to know these things.
"I asked for his five years." Song Qingci's eyes were filled with a sense of pride that she herself did not even realize.
But when Shan Li heard these words, it sounded different!
His pupils trembled slightly, and he could hardly maintain the expression on his face.
"What does five years mean?" "Probably, probably not what he thinks."
"Shen Mozhu is a real talent for getting the top three in the imperial examination. I've put so much effort into saving him, treating his injuries, and repairing his face. The medicines I used are all priceless treasures. I just want him to work for me for five years, and he won't lose out." Song Qingci thought Shan Li thought the time she set was too long, so she hurriedly explained.
So that's what it meant. Shan Li's heart instantly calmed down.
He had learned about the reconstructive surgery that Song Qingci mentioned from the side.
Although he was a little confused by what she said, he believed in her. As long as she said it, she would be able to do it.
"Five years is indeed not a long time." Shan Li agreed, "Why didn't Ah Ci mention ten years?"
In Shan Li's opinion, even if Shen Mozhu had to spend ten years on this operation, he would not suffer any loss.
"I'm not Zhou Paopi." Song Qingci wanted to add a few more years, but considering the average life expectancy of the ancients, she decided not to.
One must always have some things to do in life. If Shen Mozhu had to do things for her for ten years, he would not be able to do anything for himself for the rest of his life.
"What does Zhou Paopi mean?" It sounds like a person's name. But it doesn't seem like a good word.
Seeing that Shan Li was interested, Song Qingci briefly told him the story of Zhou Paopi.
"It turns out that people who exploit others by force can be called Zhou Baopi." Shan Li made his own summary.
"That's right!" Song Qingci was also quite surprised. He didn't expect to hear the word "exploitation" from Shan Li's mouth.
According to his status and position, he is an exploiter.
Generally speaking, people belonging to this class do not feel that they are exploiters.
"You are definitely not Zhou Paopi." Shan Li made his own conclusion. He knew that all the servants in Chixiao Courtyard were paid double monthly wages. There were also some benefits that other courtyards did not have.
The shopkeepers and clerks in the shops under the general's mansion also had their monthly wages re-determined.
His A Ci is not a Zhou Bapi, but a master who is very considerate to his servants.
"Of course!" Song Qingci could deeply understand the hardship of workers.
Although she joined Lingxiao very early and her salary level was enough to not require a part-time job, she would still choose to take a short-term job when she was not on a mission or training in order to better integrate into life.
Not for the money, just want to be a normal person.
"What do you need me to do tomorrow?" Shan Li asked.
"You just need to guard the yard and don't let anyone come in to disturb me." Song Qingci decided to perform the operation in Chixiao Courtyard.
She had previously built a pharmacy in Chixiaoyuan, and later cleaned up an empty room similar to a clinic. This was the most convenient place.
"Yes. Tomorrow, Chixiao Hospital will be under martial law. Not only will outsiders not be allowed in, but even the people inside Chixiao Hospital will be cleared out. I will personally guard outside your operating room."
"Then you don't have to guard the gate yourself." Song Qingci felt that it was somewhat awkward for someone like Shan Li to guard the gate himself. "When the time comes, let whichever Feng is free guard the gate."
Shan Li didn't want to argue any more about this matter. Anyway, she only had to be responsible for the surgery tomorrow, and he would arrange the rest.
"Okay, now that we've finished our business, I'm going to go prepare the things I'll need for tomorrow. You can continue copying." Song Qingci turned around and walked out.
Halfway through the walk, she turned back and, using her sleeve to cover her eyes, took out a new book and gave it to him.
"You have almost finished copying the agricultural stuff, and you can hand over the sorting to others. If you have time, please copy more of this. I think it will be helpful to you."
After saying that, she turned around and left like a gust of wind.
Shan Li, who was holding the book, stared at "On War" in his hand for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
The day that Song Qingci performed surgery on Shen Mozhu was also the day Shan Ruoyan returned home.
Song Qingci had already instructed that she would not attend Dan Ruoyan's return banquet, and let her mother-in-law attend on behalf of their family.
Shan Li also did what he said before. All the servants in Chixiao Courtyard had a day off today. They could leave the house or go to other courtyards if they wanted to. Anyway, no one would stay in Chixiao Courtyard today.
Even Yinxing and Yinping were kicked out.
Song Qingci and Shan Li were the only two people left in the entire Chixiao Courtyard.
Oh, no, there is also Shen Mozhu who has been anesthetized.
"Do you really not need my help?" Shan Li wanted to fight for it one last time. He had also helped Shan Xi when he was doing surgery in the carriage before.
This operation should be similar, he can help.
"Really, no need." Song Qingci was going to bring the person into the space for surgery. Facial repair surgery still requires a sterile environment.
Moreover, this operation involves delicate work, so she still needs the help of sophisticated instruments in the space.
Although she confessed the matter of the space to Shan Li, she had no intention of letting Shan Li enter the space.
Although, he would probably faint if he went in.
But deep down, she didn't want him to go in.
Seeing that Song Qingci was still so persistent, Shan Li accepted his fate.
"Then you go in. I'll be guarding the yard. If you need anything, just call me."
Shan Li closed the door himself, then sat on the chair he had prepared and took out the "On War" that Song Qingci had given him yesterday.
