Some people are naturally approachable, such as Nan Xian.
Shenyu looked at her for a long time and said with a smile: "I don't know why, when I see Mrs. Xiang, I feel familiar, as if I have known her for a long time."
Nanxian didn't have many opportunities to deal with men. Apart from Shisui, the only one was Qing Shangyang who often caused trouble for her. So when I heard him say this, I didn't know how to answer.
The steward was able to resolve the situation and took over the conversation and said, of course, "When Master Xiang was seriously ill, it was Madam Xiang who saved Master Lang from fire and water. It was Madam Xiang who took Master Lang's life back from the hands of Prince Yama. No wonder we felt like old friends at first sight." .”
Shenyu nodded and said to Nanxian again: "I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I have been delayed until today because of my busy schedule. Please don't blame me."
Nanxian said calmly: "Mr. Lang can move freely and has recovered better than I originally expected. As long as the stubborn disease is eradicated, it will be a good time to come to my house anytime." As he spoke, he led inward, "Please, both of you. Sit inside, it’s freezing cold, let’s warm up first and have a cup of tea.”
Unlike men, girls take care of everything when entertaining guests. They are also busy instructing their maids to prepare fragrant drinks and tea. They even carefully explain what kind of tea to use and how to bake it.
He turned around and returned to the hall. Because the man in front of him knew what he had entrusted to him before leaving, he was more caring than he was with other patients. Nan Xian sat down behind the case and said in a friendly voice: "Young gentleman, please come forward. I will check your pulse again to see if the toxins in your body have been eliminated."
After hearing this, Shenyu stood up, and the fine velvet cloak gave off a soft light as it bent slightly.
Underneath the cloak is soft silk, and the robe is woven with countless inches wide pleats from the waist, layer by layer. As soon as you move your feet, the train of the robe opens and closes, like a wave coming.
He raised his hand and rested his wrist on the pulse pillow. She was concentrating on diagnosing the pulse, while he looked at her calmly and explained his symptoms to her, "I often have palpitations and chest tightness recently, especially at night. I feel weak all over. Please help me, madam." I diagnose."
As for Nan Xian, he felt confident after listening to the words of the wife of the Zhongshu Supervisor. When he said discomfort, that was discomfort. She didn't need to say that her pulse was stable. She just followed his words and said: "My young man is weak and has lost blood. He still needs to be nursed back to health. I will prescribe a prescription later. He will take it for ten days. I guess." That’s about it.”
The person on the other side's eyes narrowed after hearing this, tacitly understanding the diagnosis.
After checking the pulse, he slowly took back his hand, but did not stand up in a hurry. He only said: "My wife and I hit it off as old friends at first sight, and we have received great favor from her. It is really a fate. Madam also knows that I am not from Jiankang, and I have no relatives or friends in this city. I often feel alone when I seek refuge. Especially when I was poisoned last time, I felt more and more like I was surrounded by wolves and it was difficult to move even an inch."
Nanxian still used to explain to him from a doctor's standpoint: "Young man, don't worry. Although the poison is powerful, as long as it is removed properly, it will not leave any lesions."
As for his situation, she thought about it and said: "The young man returned to Jiankang in a lonely boat. There are many royal families in this city, and they are all blood relatives of the young man. The young man must not suffer for himself, but should open his heart That’s good.”
The result elicited a wry smile from him, "Madam, do you think that all the royal families in the city recognize me as a blood relative? A few days ago, there were people in the court who questioned me, asking for a bone test."
Nan Xian was surprised. The so-called bone-dropping test was to drip his blood on the bones of King Feng Yi. If the blood can penetrate, it would be a close relative. This method first appeared in "The Biography of the Sages of Kuaiji". It seems to be in line with the principle that father and son are connected by blood, but in fact it is nonsense. The bones have been buried underground for many years and have become soft. Not to mention drops of human blood, even drops of fish blood can penetrate into it.
"Then Xiaolangjun agreed?"
Shenyu lowered his eyes and said no, "It would be disrespectful to dig up the remains of my late father. I would rather return to Huzhou than disturb my ancestors."
The steward on the side said angrily: "These unreasonable demands are just an excuse to prevent my husband from recognizing his ancestors and returning to the clan. After the prime minister in the court met the master, who would not say that the master is the same model as the late King Feng Yi It’s engraved on the inside. Besides others don’t know, doesn’t it mean that the Holy One also doesn’t know and has been deceived by a few slanderous words?”
These words really went too far, and God Realm scolded in a low voice: "You can't speak nonsense!"
The steward said yes and sighed slightly, "The villain is reckless."
Although the words are wild, who can say that they are not the truth. Shen Yufu said to Nanxian again: "My wife and I are heart-to-heart, and I just want her to know my situation. In this huge Jiankang city, there is really no one I can rely on, and it is not as good as when I was free in Huzhou. In addition, Chu Once you enter the city, you will learn the methods, and you will never dare to trust others easily in the future."
There was something hidden in his words. He talked for a long time without getting to the point. Rather than bothering to think about it, it would be better to simply state your intention. Nanxian responded with a few words and said seriously: "If you have anything to say, young gentleman, please speak out."
She is a transparent person, and she should be mentally prepared for this step-by-step progress, so Shenyu got straight to the point and said: "I have no other thoughts, I just hope to make friends like my lady, so that I can have someone to take care of me in Jiankang City in the future." . I know that my safety has been entrusted to you, but in fact, my brother and I have no connection. We are all based on the friendship of the previous generation. To be honest, little lady, I came here with an unkind invitation. Your Majesty has sent people to investigate thoroughly about my poisoning. I am afraid that the imperial court will also summon you, and I will ask you to take care of me."
It must have been the entrustment of that mouthful of blood. Nanxian understood immediately, "The depth of Xiaolangjun's poisoning is unknown to most people, but I know it clearly. Please rest assured, Xiaolangjun, if there is a subpoena, I will report it truthfully and will never hide it." .”
It can be seen that this trip is worthwhile, a smile appeared in the divine realm, "When my mother was still alive, she once mentioned your father to me and praised your dignity and admiration. Now I have met the young lady, and I also admire the young lady's character. The Xiang family is indeed a virtuous family, I accept your lady's kindness and will repay it slowly in the future."
In fact, it couldn't be called intrigue. It was just that she was tired of trying to figure out someone's thoughts. Nanxian was dazed for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, okay..." Suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly corrected it, "I mean, young man, you're welcome. My family has been practicing medicine for generations. I don't ask for any integrity, I just want a clear conscience."
As he said this, he turned to look outside and secretly said goodbye. It was not because the people in the kitchen had frozen hands and feet. Why, after talking for a long time, no one had served tea.
Just as he was about to ask, Su He brought two maids in and placed fragrant drinks and snacks in front of the distinguished guests.
The solemn atmosphere only eased at this moment. Nan Xian smiled and said: "The freshly steamed goose pear cake in the kitchen will refresh your mind and moisten your lungs. Please try it, young man."
I thought he would leave after finishing his conversation, but unexpectedly, he sat back in honor, his jade-like fingertips stuck out of his sleeves, picked up a piece of goose-pear cake and took a bite.
The maid was busy pouring tea, and the delicious pastries were praised. Su He had seen this gentleman before. At that time, he was barely alive and couldn't see any clues. He didn't expect that he was alive and was so shocked that he couldn't help but take another look.
The drama on the scene was over, and the conversation that followed became much more relaxed. Shenyu smiled and said: "I heard that the lady keeps calling me little husband. Does the lady think that I am younger than you?"
Speaking of this issue, it is indeed worth exploring.
When Nan Xian saw him for the first time, he felt that he was young and should be as young as a weakling. Coupled with the fact that he was severely poisoned and was weak and morbid, this impression remained.
But assuming that her age was not good, Nanxian smiled and said, "I occasionally see children, and I'm used to calling him whatever I want. I can't change it for a while, so please don't be offended."
After hearing this, the person opposite did not dig into the contradiction in her words, but said in a manly voice: "I was born in November, the ninth year of Chongjia. Where is the little lady?"
Nan Xian almost laughed out loud, thinking that the young man's compliment was quite right. In his expectant eyes, she straightened her body slightly and said, "What a coincidence, my husband and I are the same age." After that, she added, "I was born in August."
The three-month gap seems to be enough to give them an age advantage. Shen Yu was suffocated, and then changed to a sarcastic smile, "It seems that I should call my wife Ajie. I think Ajie already knows my life experience. I changed my surname in a hurry, and I am still not used to it until now." My nickname is Yan Huan. If sister doesn’t give up, she can call me that. My adoptive father gave me this name earlier. I always thought it was just ordinary, but now that I think about it, it has a special meaning. "
He was so familiar with her that he changed his words while chatting and laughing, and his screams of "Ajie" shook my heart. Although Nan Xian was a little unaccustomed to it, he couldn't let anyone get off the stage, so he just acquiesced after a few ambiguities.
Shen Yu glanced at her expression, knowing the principle of striking while the iron is hot, and began to blame himself, "Why did I talk to sister like these gossips? I'm really sorry. But after what happened last time, I really can't trust other people." , so I boldly came up with the idea of asking my sister to be the medical officer of my house, what do you think of me?"
Nanxian was very surprised. Generally, when a medical officer was hired by a prince's mansion, he had to have his name in the court, and it was always a man. I am a girl who has not yet left the imperial court, and there is no precedent in the world for a girl to serve as a medical officer in the palace, so I should not agree to it either emotionally or rationally.
Shen Yu must have seen her scruples, and hurriedly explained: "I don't want my sister to stay in my house forever. My sister can still treat the officials and their families as usual. But if I have something urgent, please come to me." It’s just a matter of priority.”
The man on the side hurriedly presented a wooden box, "My husband ordered me to prepare the salary of the young lady and the last medical treatment fee. Please accept it with pleasure."
Unfortunately, Nan Xian didn't answer the question, and evaded: "I treat people just to kill time in the boudoir, and I don't make a living out of it. If you don't hesitate, I will treat you as usual, but the doctor There is no need for an official position, I am really afraid that I will not be able to do it, which will bring shame to my master and my brother."
She didn't agree, and God Realm couldn't force her. There was a look of regret on her face, and she sighed: "I was presumptuous, and I didn't put myself in Sister's shoes. In this case, it's better to let Sister do what she wants." He stood up and bowed his hands to her, "I've disturbed my sister for a long time, so it's time for me to say goodbye."
Nanxian said hello, then turned to the servant girl in the corridor who was following the order, "Send your husband out for me."
The servant woman was ordered to come forward, flexing her waist and gesturing with her hands, "Please come with me, distinguished guest."
The master and servant of God's Domain followed the lead and went up to the gate.
Nan Xian watched them go away, only at this moment did he let go of his worries.
Strangely, the negotiation just now was obviously normal, but it made her nervous for no reason. I always feel that this person has no bottom, as if beneath his young skin there is a sophisticated soul with a clear understanding of the world. Every word he says must be considered before and after.
In short, make a goal to have as little contact with this person as possible in the future. Don't covet the position of royal medical officer, and don't covet the generous monthly salary. People can protect themselves without being greedy. She and Yunci are living a good life now, so just don't cause trouble.
That person served the master of the family and boarded the carriage. As he helped the carriage move forward, he was still muttering: "Ms. Xiang is very cautious. It seems she doesn't want to involve us too much."
Shenyu lowered his head and coiled the sandalwood bracelet, and smiled casually, "No one can control things in the world, and you will be involved if you don't want to be involved. If she becomes my medical officer upright, maybe it will be better for her."
