On the two tree-lined paths, there are flourishing flowers and trees, hundreds of flowers are blooming, and the flowers are in full bloom. It is extremely beautiful. However, the two boys and girls walking between them have no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. The man is only eighteen years old, and the girl is slightly younger than fifteen or sixteen years old. In their youth, the two look more like a brother and sister.
"Third brother." The young girl Chen Ningke looked at her eldest brother and frowned.
"This Dr. Chen has great medical skills. I think he will be able to cure my grandmother's serious illness." Even so, I couldn't help but worry. My grandmother is old and her health has been getting worse in the past few years. She has been seriously ill. The disease cannot be cured.
My father was in the second rank of the official position. It was a time when he was very high-spirited and he was a minister in the court. If my grandmother had some shortcomings, then my father...
And she is sixteen this year. After this year, the Mid-Autumn Festival next year will be the time for her to get married. Chen Ningke's beautiful eyes are slightly closed, and she does not dare to go any further.
"Don't worry, little sister, grandma will definitely recover." Chen Yuanhao comforted, but what he was thinking about was much further than his sister. Now the court is restless, the Liu family dominates the court, and the fight for the throne is already in the court. There were blood showers in the hall several times. My father had always advocated establishing a direct line of succession. This was clearly an enemy of the Liu family. Maybe my father could take advantage of this opportunity to temporarily avoid the spotlight.
Only three years after Ding You's death, who would still remember their Chen family.
"My father was worried about my grandmother's condition. Unfortunately, he was far away in the capital and was busy with official duties and could not return to his hometown to take care of her illness. He asked us brothers and sisters to come back and take care of my grandmother for him, hoping that she would recover as soon as possible," Chen Yuanhao said.
The grandmother is sick, and as the eldest grandson, she should return to her hometown to serve her. The eldest and second brothers are serving as officials far away. Only Chen Yuanhao, who is not an official, and Chen Ningke, who is not married, have returned to their hometown to serve her as a sign of filial piety.
The two of them were talking when they saw a woman walking quickly on the road, her steps were messy, she was looking around in a panic.
"What are you doing? Are you in a hurry?" Chen Ningke scolded the person in a low voice. She recognized this person as the housekeeper in her grandmother's yard.
"Third Young Master, Fourth Young Lady." Mother Wu's eyes averted and she saluted and said hello. She felt that everything was not going well today. She wanted to send a message properly, but she messed up a very small errand, which made people angry. Come on, just leave. It's none of her business if she leaves. Unfortunately, she ran into the eighth young master again. The eighth young master was injured and beaten. How could this be a good thing?
Mother Wu was already prepared to be punished, and wanted to quietly send a message to Chen Feng to ask him to deal with it quickly and adjust the matter, but she ran into these two people in front of her again.
"Are you Mother Wu? You are from my grandmother's courtyard." Chen Ningke asked. She had only been back to her hometown for a few days and could barely remember a few servants.
"The old slave is Mrs. Wu who manages the cleaning in the old lady's yard."
"Then what's the matter with you in such a hurry?" Chen Ningke asked, how dignified are you?
Faced with the questioning, Mother Wu was frightened, thinking that she would not be able to escape a punishment today. After hesitating for a while, Mother Wu seemed to have mustered up great courage to speak out.
"What, the eighth brother was beaten?" Chen Yuanhao and Chen Ningke were shocked. Although the eighth brother had been in Hechun and was not with their parents in the capital, they had also heard some of his bad habits. The brother and sister did not have much closeness to him. Yes, but as brothers and sisters, how could they not panic when the eighth brother was beaten.
"When did this happen?" Chen Ningke was angry, this confused old woman, why didn't she tell her earlier that her eighth brother was beaten but she came here intact to report it?
"Don't worry, little sister, let's ask clearly first." Chen Yuanhao was still sensible and asked the reason. After learning that his brother was not injured, he no longer worried.
"Go and call a few people to take care of the injured person. We will wait until the ancestor wakes up to make a decision." Chen Ningke said that the second aunt took care of the family affairs, but the eighth brother grew up under the knee of his grandmother, and all his affairs It’s all the ancestors who make the decision.
"Take us there quickly."
"Yes, yes." Mother Wu hurriedly led the people to the corner door of the front yard. Along the way, she asked a few stout women to follow her, preparing to take someone. It would be a big deal for the eighth young master to be beaten.
The group of people made a grand journey and rushed to the corner gate with great momentum. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, Chen Yuanze and others were nowhere to be seen, let alone the attacker. After asking, they found out that Chen Yuanze had led Xiao Ming to the pavilion in the back garden.
The group of people rushed to the pavilion again. Before they reached the pavilion, they heard the younger brother Chen Yuanze shouting loudly. His voice was full of anger, and he didn't look like he had been beaten.
Chen Ningke looked at Mother Wu on the side, her eyes sharp as a knife. Mother Wu knew she had made a big mistake, so she shrunk her neck and did not dare to speak.
"You guys, stop hanging around here. Go and bring some basins of ice. Let's see how Dr. Xiao heats it up. Go and light the mosquito repellent. Go to the kitchen and bring me all the good snacks in the kitchen." Chen Yuanze With the same instructions, he called all the girls in the pavilion to do things. He wanted to entertain Doctor Xiao.
"Everyone, please run faster."
After doing this, Chen Yuanze did not sit down, but ran to Xiao Ming and waved the folding fan for her diligently, as if he was afraid that Xiao Ming would get hot.
"Sister Xiao Ming, it's very hot today, and my brother is fanning you." Chen Yuanze said flatteringly.
The dog-legged appearance made Chen Yuanhao and Chen Ningke on the side couldn't bear to look at it. The dignified young master of the Chen family, with a noble status, was serving others.
"Sister Xiao Ming, look at your fair skin. What are you using to wipe your face? Why don't you give me some?" Chen Yuanze looked at Xiao Ming's white and translucent face and was so envious that he felt like he was being clawed by a cat. of.
Ever since he was a child, he has complained that he is not a girl. He likes fair and tender faces, and dresses himself up beautifully like a girl. He has been well-fed and pampered since he was a child, but he is just this one Hobby.
When he saw Xiao Ming for the first time, he felt that this is what he should look like, no makeup, natural carvings, everything was made by nature. He was not angry even after being pushed by Li'er.
"Eighth brother." Chen Ningke called, she really couldn't stand the flattery of her younger brother. I feel like my face has fallen off.
She came here anxious and worried. She originally thought that her brother had been beaten and was wronged, and she came to seek justice for him. However, she did not know that she saw a scene that made her feel extremely slapped in the face. The brother of the dignified young master of the Chen family was trying his best to please others. This person was still a little girl, a doctor invited to diagnose her grandmother.
Before she came back, she had long heard how ignorant and naughty this younger brother was, and how he liked girly things even though he was a boy.
Chen Yuanhao looked at his younger brother's silent smile. He had already expected that the matter was not as serious as his sister thought.
"Third brother, fourth sister." Chen Yuanze said with a cheerful smile.
"Come in and sit down." Chen Yuanze pulled the two of them into the pavilion. "Let me introduce to you. This is Dr. Xiao. He is the doctor I invited to treat my grandmother. Don't talk about me all day long. Look. I asked the doctor to come back for my grandmother."
Everyone was speechless. Doctor Xiao was already in the house, okay? Only Chen Yuanze could say this so grandly.
Chen Yuanhao and Chen Yuanke had good etiquette. Even if they no longer took Xiao Ming seriously, they still nodded politely to Xiao Ming.
Chen Ningke was completely relieved when she saw that her brother was intact: "I heard that you were beaten, were you injured?"
"How could I be beaten? Who dares to beat me in this house, who is talking nonsense." Chen Yuanze jumped up and said anxiously, while looking at Xiao Ming's reaction, for fear that she would be dissatisfied.
"I just accidentally fell." Finally, Chen Yuanze explained.
Mother Wu, who was waiting outside the pavilion, had her eyelids twitching. It was all her fault! He ran away in such a hurry without knowing what happened next.
"This must be Doctor Xiao. I didn't expect Doctor Xiao to be able to practice medicine at such a young age. It's really rare." Chen Yuanhao said with a smile.
"Thank you, I just happened to be in this industry." Xiao Ming replied, she is not young anymore, she is about forty years old in her past and present lives combined.
"Why did Dr. Xiao come to Chen's house?" Chen Ningke asked. She didn't understand how her second aunt, who was strict in running the house and kept the back house in perfect order, invited a little girl to diagnose her grandmother's pulse.
"I came here with my senior brother."
"I wonder who Senior Brother Ling is?" Chen Yuanhao asked.
"It's Dr. Min Fangqi Min, but the two of us came here to hear that Dr. Chen from Tai Hospital diagnosed the old lady's pulse, so we are ready to go back." Xiao Ming said, expressing her intention to leave. She had nothing to say to anyone. .
"Is it Dr. Min?" Chen Yuanhao was greatly shocked. Dr. Min, the former chief doctor of the Tai Hospital, who came after his father begged and begged him repeatedly, actually went back to their Chen family without diagnosing his grandmother's pulse.
For a moment, Chen Yuanhao's calm mood was no longer calm. He had grown up in the capital and had heard about Dr. Min. His medical skills were excellent. His father spent a lot of time on his grandmother's illness and found out the whereabouts of Dr. Min. Please, please. Dr. Min diagnosed and treated his grandmother. He believed that Dr. Min came all the way with the sincerity of healing, but he just went back like this?
However, he had been waiting in his grandmother's yard and did not see Dr. Min. He only saw Dr. Chen. Should he let them go back like this?
Is it the second aunt? still·····
Maybe they didn't know that Dr. Min was the former head of the Imperial Hospital, so they dismissed people at will. In the end, Chen Yuanhao found an excuse for himself.
"I'll just say that I invited Dr. Xiao! Without me, Dr. Xiao has left." Chen Yuanze was very proud, as if he had done something right.
"Sister Xiao Ming, my good sister, please give me some of the rouge you use to wipe your face!" Chen Yuanze said, looking more intimate than his own sister.
Chen Yuanze's sister looked at her beautiful eyes and asked, "What's going on?" My younger brother has never been so close to her.
"Haha." Xiao Ming was so frustrated that this little boy was innocent and out-of-touch. Seeing that he didn't care, Xiao Ming took out a small box of snowy face mud and gave it to him.
"You can't smear rouge on your face with me." She looked really awkward. She was a good little kid, applying makeup and powder like a girl. She really thought she was a girl with her eyebrows and lips. It was really eye-catching. !
A boy who loves stinky beauty...
"No, from now on my face will be as white as my sister, and I will never put on that rouge again." Chen Yuanze was delighted and held the small box in his arms like a treasure.
"I'm going back first." Chen Yuanze ran away quickly holding the small box containing the snowy mud. He knew without thinking that he was going back to try it out.
"My little brother is young and doesn't know the etiquette. Please forgive me, Doctor Xiao." Chen Ningke said, "My little brother grew up under the knee of my grandmother. I was pampered by my grandmother and grew up, so my temperament is naturally more out-of-the-box."
She didn't have the same special mood as Chen Yuanze towards the box of snowy face mud. The thing she used was the finest rouge and gouache from the capital. A small box of rouge cost dozens of taels of silver. She was not interested in the simple and unpretentious box that Xiao Ming took out. I didn't pay much attention to it, let alone look down upon it, I just thought it was my younger brother who did it on a whim.
However, the Dr. Xiao in front of me really has a lot of skin, fair and supple, with a faint glow, his eyebrows are picturesque, and he is naturally beautiful without applying any powder.
There are so many naturally beautiful people in the world, no wonder my little brother is so attentive to her.
"Please also ask Dr. Xiao and Dr. Min to stay for a few more days to diagnose and treat my grandmother." Chen Yuanhao said, which surprised Chen Ningke and made Xiao Ming frown.
"This..." Xiao Ming hesitated. Others didn't want to do it, and she didn't want to do it. Chen Mansion thought that they already had the best candidate for the eldest lady. They couldn't use them, and there was no need for them to stay here anymore. Unexpectedly, The young master of the Chen family will make an invitation.
Finally, Xiao Ming expressed that she wanted to ask senior brother Min Fangqi what he meant.
Not long after, Min Fangqi led Yi Feng and others over. They packed their bags and seemed to agree with Xiao Ming's approach and were ready to leave the house and stay at the inn.
"Doctor Min, I haven't seen you well for many years." Chen Yuanhao saluted with a respectful tone. When he was in the capital, he had the honor to meet Min Fangqi once. That was eight years ago, when his mother suddenly fell ill when he was only a few years old. Dr. Min diagnosed and treated my mother.
"You are the third son of the Chen family." Min Fangqi looked at the young man in front of him. Over the past few years, he had grown into a handsome young man.
"It's Yuan Hao. My father asked Yuan Hao to say hello on his behalf. He is far away in the capital and cannot greet Dr. Min in person. Please forgive me."
"Master Chen is so polite. I didn't expect Master Chen to still remember me." Min Fangqi sighed. He had diagnosed Mrs. Chen's pulse back then and he still remembered this Master Chen.
"The house slave is rude and neglectful of the two of them. He also asked Dr. Min to stay for a few more days to diagnose and treat my grandmother regardless of the previous suspicion." Chen Yuanhao said that he was surprised that Dr. Chen came uninvited, and he did not expect that the family would reject his father's hard-earned invitation because of Dr. Chen. Dr. Min is here.
Although he had Dr. Chen to diagnose and treat his grandmother, he still didn't want to give up Dr. Min. Dr. Min's medical skills were famous in the capital and his medical skills were recognized by everyone. He neither wanted to offend Dr. Chen, who had come all the way here, nor did he want to lose him. Dr. Min, I want Dr. Min to stay for a few more days, so long as Dr. Chen can cure him, otherwise...
A few days will tell.
Chen Ningke here was already extremely surprised by her brother's behavior. She didn't expect that her brother would be so polite to this old doctor and invite him so kindly.
"Junior sister, look at this..." Dr. Min asked what Xiao Ming meant.
"It's all up to senior brother," Xiao Ming said, throwing the ball back. This old fritter wanted her to make the decision, but she didn't want to.
