Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

On the way back, because the food bought from the village was not delicious enough, Gu Xihe complained all the way, but he was very hungry, so he had to force himself to eat some food, until he heard Gu Xiran say After inviting Du Qiu to be a martial artist, he opened his eyes wide in surprise and stopped complaining.

"real?"

Gu Xiran glanced at him: "Do I need to lie to you?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Xihe immediately looked at Du Qiu critically again, but no matter how he looked at it, he still couldn't see much except that Du Qiu's figure was relatively well-proportioned and his limbs were tough and strong. I can't believe that a person who looks so ordinary can have good skills

.

Fortunately, he saw the scene of saving people in the restaurant with his own eyes. Even though he was skeptical, he couldn't deny it. After being awkward for a while, he felt really happy when he thought that he could learn two sets of boxing and kicking kung fu, and said, "Okay!"

It's as simple as a child's mind.

Intuitively liking or disliking a person, intuitively judging whether a thing is good or bad.

Gu Xiran didn't say much, but just told him to go back and pick a day to tell the old matriarch that he would hire a martial artist to teach him two sets of boxing to strengthen his body, presumably the old matriarch would not reject his request.

The little fourth master said hello without asking, but Du Qiu couldn't hold on to Gu's family, he wanted to stay outside to take care of his mother, so he only agreed to come to teach boxing at a fixed time every day.

What Gu Xiran needed was a martial artist, not a servant, and he never thought of binding Du Qiu by his side, so he agreed with a good-tempered smile.

The mule cart drove all the way back to the city, and the order of the streets and alleys had been restored. Gu Xihe couldn't hold back his excitement, and quietly lifted the curtain of the car to peek out, hoping to hear if the passers-by on the street were gossiping about what happened earlier, but Shu Huan Pulled it back, covered the car curtain and said, "Sit down, don't be recognized by others."

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Xihe said disapprovingly, "Second brother never goes out, even many servants at home don't recognize him, and the old matriarch rarely lets me go out, how could anyone recognize him?"

Shu Huan thinks that safety is the first priority: "Maybe when we were making trouble just now, someone recorded our appearance. It's always bad to be seen. You'd better be careful."

Gu Xihe was a little dissatisfied, but after all he got into trouble, no matter how fearful he was, he was always guilty, and seeing that his second brother looked at him with disapproval in his eyes, he could only snort, An Fen Sit down.

Following the direction pointed by Ran Mo, the mule cart finally stopped in front of Danqing Residence where Doctor Ji lived. When being led into the house by an old servant, Shu Huan felt that the place did not have a tinge of heat, and his eyes were filled with quiet and cool greenery, and the slight irritability and mundane thoughts in his heart disappeared.

Famous doctors don’t need to open their clinics. Naturally, some people will come to see them, but the consultation fee is relatively high. Therefore, if they have a minor illness, they can go to the pharmacy to grab a couple of medicines and take them. The poor will never take care of them.

.

I don't know if they were lucky, Doctor Ji didn't go out to see the doctor today, but was drawing pictures in the study. When they entered, they saw him sitting upright, concentrating on writing.

He turned a blind eye to the visits from outsiders, but devoted all his attention to the painting in front of him. Naturally, such a behavior was a little neglectful. Fortunately, the old servant acted as a landlord on his behalf and invited them to sit down before making tea.

Shu Huan was originally a student of painting. Although he had little exposure to ink painting in the past, his interest was still there. He couldn't resist looking out, only to find that Dr. Ji was painting those tall and straight green bamboos outside the window. Looking back, the study room is quite large, but the furnishings are extremely simple, except for a large Huali case in front of the window, there are only a few chairs, shelves full of books and paintings on the walls.

Those paintings, without exception, are all about bamboo.

Bamboo at rest, Bamboo in the breeze, Bamboo in the wind, Bamboo in the drizzle...

No matter what kind of bamboo is painted in its natural state, even if the brushstrokes and artistic conception are different, the technique is obviously the same as the one Dr. Ji is painting. She looked at the signature again, and the word Danqing should be Dr. Ji's name, right

After living for so many days, she has already figured out that this place is slightly different from the ancient world she saw from the history books. At least the people here don't have so many taboos about names, and it's not popular to use any pronouns.

While Shu Huan was admiring the paintings hanging on the wall, Ji Danqing had finished the last stroke, threw the ink-stained pen into a pink and green four-volume lotus leaf brush washer, stood up, and Gu Xiran smiled and said: "I don't know if a distinguished guest came to the door today, so don't blame me for being rude."

While talking, he also saw Shu Huan who was dressed as a maid and was still looking at the painting, but in order to avoid suspicion, he only nodded to her as a greeting.

Gu Xiran returned the salute, and said with a smile, "We are the ones who came here abruptly."

After a few words of pleasantries, he immediately said what he wanted to do. Ji Danqing, a benevolent doctor, naturally agreed, and opened his mouth to call a little boy, asking him to pack up the medical box and go out to see the doctor.

Du Qiu originally thought that famous doctors always put on airs, and now it's getting late, so they may not be willing to go out to see the doctor. He didn't expect Ji Danqing to agree as soon as he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. A little grateful.

It was Gu Xiran who stopped him suddenly: "Come on slowly! I still need to ask Doctor Ji about something."

Ji Danqing smiled gently: "Please tell me

. "

"I wonder if there is a small courtyard for rent near here?"

Ji Danqing looked puzzled.

Gu Xiran explained the matter of inviting Du Qiu to be a martial artist, thinking that Danqingju is not far from Gu's house, and the surrounding environment is quiet, so it is a good place for Du's mother to recuperate and save Du Qiu from running around every day.

"Even if it's Doctor Ji, if you go to see a doctor, if you get closer, you will save a lot of legwork."

Ji Danqing probably also belonged to the kind of person who doesn't ask about ordinary things. Naturally, asking him about this matter had no result. He still called the old servant at home to ask, but the answer was disappointing.

This urban area is quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle, not far from the main street, but it never hears the noise of the market. Therefore, most of the houses in the vicinity are owned by wealthy and official families. There is almost no renting out.

In the end, Ji Danqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "If Master Du doesn't mind, there are two secluded houses in my backyard, please come and stay here for a while."

Gu Xiran didn't expect that he would take in strangers to live at home, so it was a surprise to hear that. Even Du Qiu wondered if he had heard the wrong thing, and declined, "This is too disturbing."

"It's okay." Ji Danqing said: "The houses in the backyard were originally reserved for the critically ill patients, so that they can keep watch and prescribe medicine at any time. Besides, I haven't married a wife yet, and I don't have any family members to avoid, so I can't say I'm bothering you."

Du Qiu hesitated: "Doctor Ji is not afraid that I am a villain?"

Ji Danqing laughed when he heard the words: "I come from a family of medicine. Except for this room of medical books and medicinal materials, there is no valuable thing. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that people will get rich and kill me? Don't worry about it. It's always here. For emergency patients, I will keep people to stay, and they have been safe all these years."

Du Qiu is still waiting to ask: "Then the rent..."

Ji Danqing interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Let's talk about this later, it's important to see the doctor first."

As he spoke, he picked up the medical kit, asked Du Qiu to lead the way, and boarded the mule cart they had taken into the city. Here, Gu Xiran followed suit, and asked Ranmo to hire a sedan chair to ride home.
