On the country road with infinite scenery, the woman on the tip of his heart was leaning in his arms, but Chu Yan didn't have any thoughts of being charming.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Yan would never have thought that the corruption of local officials was worse than that of Beijing officials. Even in the face of the plague, the local officials were still lazy and inactive, even in the face of him, an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, they showed respect, secretly perfunctory, and even tried to bribe him to join forces, all of which made Chu Yan feel very disappointed.
Su Yan was really tired, and there were only a few of them on the small road, so Su Yan relaxed, leaning her body weight on Chu Yan, thinking about the prescription with hard eyelids.
As she was concentrating on thinking, Su Yan suddenly heard Chu Yan ask, "Why didn't you tell me what happened this morning?"
"Anyway, the matter is settled, and we will meet more often in the future. At this time, I don't want to cause more trouble." Su Yan said softly: "Just pretend that this matter never happened, and I will stay away from them in the future."
"It's just a bunch of stubborn old men, you don't have to wrong yourself." Chu Yan was unhappy.
Su Yan nodded, didn't reply to Chu Yan's words, leaned into his arms, and fell asleep at some point.
Chu Yan slowed down, and when he reached Cheng'an County, he gently carried Su Yan down, but no matter how gentle his movements were, he still woke up Su Yan who was in a light sleep.
Su Yan rubbed her hard eyelids, and asked Cai Xia to order a few bowls of noodles to share with Chu Yan and Zhong Ning, then she plunged her head into medical skills, Chu Yan didn't leave, and sat beside her Has been quietly with her.
As the people outside came back, the yard was noisy and then quiet again.
With the help of dim candlelight, Su Yan wrote one prescription after another, but after careful consideration, she found that it was not feasible, so she threw them all into a wastebasket, and continued to flip through the medical books to think about the next prescription.
Chu Yan felt sorry for her being too tired, but he couldn't do much to help her. He could only help her clean up the paper balls thrown all over the floor, and handed her a cup of tea to moisten her throat from time to time.
Not long after, Su Yan fell asleep lying on the table, she was still holding a brush in her right hand, and the ink on the tip of the pen stained the prescription she had written.
Chu Yan picked up Su Yan and put her on the bed, and told Caixia: "Be gentle, don't wake her up."
"My servant understands." Caixia responded softly, and said: "My son, please go back and rest earlier."
After going out, Chu Yan looked up at the moonlit and starry night sky, smelling the vinegar smell he was used to, and felt extremely heavy in his heart. Hearing the news in the capital is different from experiencing it personally.
In order to take better care of Su Yan, Chu Yan deliberately moved his residence to the next door to Su Yan.
The next morning, before dawn, Chu Yan got up and urged the people in the household department to buy all kinds of medicinal materials that are currently in short supply.
Su Yan also woke up early, drank a bowl of porridge with dark circles under her eyes, and accompanied Zhong Ning to the direction of Ge Bazi Village, but before she could leave Cheng'an County, Pei Shoucheng rushed up on horseback.
Pei Shoucheng's huge belly trembled with his movements: "There is a young man outside who calls himself Xia, who says he is a friend of Prince Chu, but the prince is not here, so I want to let the county magistrate see if he knows him."
"The surname Xia?" Su Yan was the first to think of Xia Mochu: "He calls himself Xia Mochu?" After all, the surname Xia is very rare, and Su Yan only knows Xia Mochu.
Hearing Su Yan mention Xia Mochu, Zhong Ning's small fists were inadvertently clenched.
"Yes." Pei Shoucheng was amused when he heard it: "Then the officer let him in?"
"Let's put it in." Mentioning Xia Mochu, Su Yan felt a little headache.
Xia Mochu had come to her, even if she refused to let him in, Xia Mochu would have to find ways to run here. Rather than letting him run around and cause trouble, it's better for her to watch him right under her nose.
Not long after Pei Shoucheng left, Xia Mochu caught up with Su Yan. He was riding a horse, followed by dozens of carriages, which were full of sacks.
Xu was blown by the wind and sand on the road, Xia Mochu was a little darker than when he was in the capital, he caught up with Su Yan on horseback, pointed at the carriage behind him flamboyantly: "The medicinal materials I bought."
Zhong Ning jumped out of the carriage immediately, and poked the sack curiously: "What medicinal materials are there?"
Xia Mochu shook his head: "I don't know either, anyway, I have prepared all the medicinal materials in those medical centers."
"Prodigal!" Zhong Ning glared at Xia Mochu, but the smile on his mouth never stopped. Yesterday her mother also talked about the shortage of medicinal materials, and now Xia Mochu has brought back several truckloads of medicinal materials, can she not be happy
"Thank you, Mr. Xia." While speaking, Su Yan also got out of the carriage, looking at the sacks on the carriage, it was the first time that Su Yan felt that Xia Mochu was also useful.
Xia Mochu smiled at Su Yan, then got off the horse and directly took a brocade box from the servant and walked towards Zhong Ning: "Zhong Ning, when I was shopping for medicinal materials, I saw a pretty bracelet, so I bought it. Can you see if you can wear it?"
Zhong Ning curiously opened the brocade box and glanced at the bracelet, then frowned in disgust: "Take it back to your mother, I don't want it!"
Su Yan didn't hold back her curiosity, she went up to take a look, and saw an imperial green glass emerald imperial concubine bracelet lying quietly in the brocade box, although it looked priceless, but the color was really not suitable for Zhong Ning No wonder Zhong Ning despises such a young girl.
"What's the matter? Isn't this very good?" Xia Mochu was not happy. This is his grandmother's most precious bracelet. He tried every means to get it from his grandmother. How could Zhong Ning still dislike it so much
Xia Mochu looked at Su Yan: "Master Le'an County, you don't think it looks good either?"
Su Yan shook her head, and calmly pulled Zhong Ning to her side. She is now sure that Xia Mochu must have some thoughts on Zhong Ning, otherwise why would a man who is so decent give jewelry to a woman
Zhong Ning looked at Xia Mochu suspiciously. She and Su Yan also had the same question, but she was used to being careless, and asked directly: "Why are you giving me the bracelet? My senior sister said, don't be courteous for nothing. Rape or steal."
Xia Mochu subconsciously denied: "Who wants to give it to you? I just happened to see it when I was passing by. Don't push me down. Girls who want my master's things are all out of the capital!" In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he always He could always think of Zhong Ning. Before he came to Wujin County, he heard that Zhong Ning had also come with Su Yan, so he thought of bringing a gift for Zhong Ning.
In terms of motivation, he really didn't have one.
"Bah! Smelly shameless!" Zhong Ning spat.
Once these two people got together, they would turn the world upside down, Su Yan hurriedly stopped her and said, "You two, stop making trouble, Ning'er, and transport the medicinal materials there first." After speaking, Su Yan said to Xia Mochu again: " Mr. Xia, the epidemic area is dangerous, you should stay in Cheng'an County and wait for us."
"I came here this time for disaster relief!" Xia Mochu patted his chest: "You can all go, what am I afraid of as a man? Let's go."
With that said, Xia Mochu ran forward immediately.
Su Yan didn't know whether it was better to say that he was fearless or heartless, so he could only helplessly follow and gave Xia Mochu a new mask to put on.
