The news that Wu Hemerocallis was not familiar with medicine and pharmacology, but was unauthorized to take medicine, was finally spread by several apprentices. She was afraid of people's words, so she closed the Hemerocallis Hall and stayed at home all day to study medicine. Xue Jiming insisted on marrying her, but the old lady and Mrs. Xue couldn't stop it and could only let it go. He has already retired from marriage once, and as a result, so many bad things have happened. If he quits this time, he will not know how many troubles he will cause.
In the late spring season, Wu Hemerocallis married into the Xue Mansion and became the second wife of the big house. The Hemerocallis Hall opposite Xinglinchun was turned into a grocery store at some point.
On this day, Lin Dan closed the shop door after closing and went into the kitchen to make a rich dinner. The table was large and the dishes were complete, while the opposite of her was empty. She ate a few mouthfuls without taste, and stayed for a while, then put down the tableware and chopsticks, took out a food box, and put the dishes that were still steaming in it one by one.
A quarter of an hour later, she took an ox cart to the door of Dexue's house and knocked on the corner door.
"Yeah, it's Miss Lin!" The concierge looked surprised and happy when he saw the person coming. These days, Lin Dan's name as a genius doctor has spread all over Daqin, and all the dignitaries in the capital are proud of getting to know her. She is good at treating emergencies, taking medicines to cure diseases, and she is superb in first-hand medical skills, which can be called the number one in the world.
When Lin Dan left the house angrily, the concierge beat her to death and did not expect that when she came again, it would be like this. She has become a popular figure in the capital, and many people can't find a way to make friends with her. It is no exaggeration to say that she can come to Xue Mansion, it is really expensive and humble, and it is called here to be full of brilliance.
"Miss Lin, wait a moment, I will report to Madam and the old lady." The porter bowed again and again to apologize, then closed the door and hurried to report.
Since the last time he left, Lin Dan has never been to Xue Mansion again. She pushed the corner door and found that it didn't move at all, so she could only stand there and wait. After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the wall, and then the door slammed open, and the old lady, Mrs. Xue, the old lady of the second room, and several concubines all came out, with warm smiles on their faces.
Lin Dan had goosebumps all over his body, but he had to step forward and greet him politely.
The old lady kept saying yes, Mrs. Xue held her arm and said that she was thin and did not eat well. The family of the second room stood aside and watched with smiles.
Lin Dan bit the bullet and socialized with these people, and only when he was finally led into the door did he say, "Is eldest brother at home? I haven't seen him for three days. I'm afraid that his condition will recur, so I came to see him."
The old lady's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately: "He's here, he just paid, he must be in Xiaofeng Pavilion at the moment. You are familiar with the road, go over by yourself."
Mrs. Xue also pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was happy to see it happen.
Lin Dan endured the discomfort and left, stepping into the door of Xiaofeng Pavilion before letting out a sigh of relief. When she came here, she instantly felt like she was coming home, the pores all over her body were dilated, and she was extremely happy.
At the same time, Xue Boyong was flipping through a military book. Li Zhong brought him a cup of hot tea and looked at him with strange eyes for a while before reminding him: "Eldest son, your book is down." He could read the book upside down for half an hour. He was really convinced. son.
Xue Boyong's empty eyes immediately focused, looked towards the page, and then sighed with his forehead. After three days, he really couldn't hold it anymore! At this moment, a guard quickly walked into the study and said, "General, Miss Lin is here."
Xue Boyong immediately stood up and walked hurriedly towards the door. When he saw Lin Dan carrying a huge food box, his handsome face covered with clouds immediately smiled.
Lin Dan was also very happy to see Xue Boyong, opened his mouth and said, "Brother, you haven't been to my place for three days, are you in trouble or are you feeling unwell?"
Xue Boyong didn't answer, just walked over quickly, took the food box, and rubbed the little girl's head again.
Seeing his ruddy complexion and steady pace, Lin Dan felt relieved. He followed him into the side hall, put the food on the table, and said bluntly, "Brother, if you're not here, I won't eat well anymore."
Xue Boyong's smile deepened, but he pretended to sigh: "Lin Dan, I may not see you often in the future."
"Why?" Lin Dan frowned fiercely, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"We are always alone in the same room, and people outside will gossip. I'm a man, it doesn't matter, you are a woman, you need to pay attention to the festival." Xue Boyong put all the good dishes into Lin Dan's bowl.
"Big brother, I'm not afraid of outsiders talking." Lin Dan waved his hand, his tone very relaxed. What is the name festival, can I eat it
"You're not afraid of me, I can't hurt you." Xue Boyong insisted on refusing.
Lin Dan was in a dilemma, racking his brains to think about how to keep the big brother. She is actually very strong, she can do any dirty work by herself, and she can live without the eldest brother coming. However, whenever she was eating, looking at the empty dining table and listening to the lonely wind, she felt as if something was missing, very suffocated. When the eldest brother didn't come, she didn't eat well, she didn't sleep well, and she felt that her life was all messed up.
She bit her lip, looking worried for the first time.
Xue Boyong coughed and pretended to be casual: "If we can get married, we can be together justifiably, what do you think?"
Lin Dan looked at his elder brother in amazement, not knowing how to answer. She is alone and widowed, and she doesn't have to serve her parents, and she doesn't have to inherit the lineage. It really doesn't matter if she gets married or not. But what if the object of marriage is the eldest brother...
She was waiting to imagine, but a footstep came from outside the door, interrupting her thoughts. Xue Jiming and Wu Xuancao came together and said in unison, "Brother, I heard that Lin Dan is here, we made a special trip to apologize to her."
The blue veins on Xue Boyong's forehead jumped, and he gritted his teeth: "It's really time for you to come."
Xue Jiming panicked when he saw his elder brother's dark face and condensed tone, and when he saw Lin Dan turning his head to look at him, his eyes were even more dodged. He lowered his head and said sincerely, "Brother, we'll leave as soon as we finish talking, and we won't disturb you." The words fell to Lin Dan and bowed deeply, "Lin Dan, I was the one who was sorry for you back then, this apology came too late, I also hope you don't bother with me. Also, it was my fault that I lent your book to Hemerocallis and Dr. Zheng without authorization. If you can't get angry, I will give you this whip and I will give you the whipping, and I will never fight back. ."
He respectfully handed a whip, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"I accept your apology, and let the past go." Lin Dan flicked his whip, his tone calm. She has never been angry with Xue Jiming because she didn't take this person to heart at all.
Xue Jiming didn't know what she was thinking, so she couldn't help showing a relieved expression.
Wu Hemerocallis then said, "Lin Dan, I took your book without authorization. It was my fault, please forgive me."
Lin Dan gave a perfunctory hum, neither saying forgiveness nor unforgiveness.
Wu Helianthus gritted his teeth and said again, "Lin Dan, I want to take you as my teacher and learn medicine from you. I don't know if I can? If you can teach me, I can also pass on my surgical skills to you."
Lin Dan just looked at her and refused, "I don't accept apprentices, and I'm not interested in your surgical skills. You know how profound medical knowledge is, and you know that medical theory and pharmacology alone are enough for me to study for a lifetime. Do you have the energy to study? What’s more, the surgical technique you are talking about is actually difficult to implement in reality. If you do it wrong, it will save people and turn into murder. My medical skills are limited, and I dare not touch it lightly.”
Wu Hemerocallis endured the humiliation and said: "There are some surgical techniques that are very useful to you. You will understand after you understand. Lin Dan, I beg you, teach me!"
Seeing that his wife was really pitiful, Xue Jiming couldn't help but look at his elder brother, hoping that he could say a few words for her.
Xue Boyong looked at his brother coldly, and said, "Jiming, if you are rich and comfortable, and a stranger knocks on your door, saying that you are going to exchange one hundred taels for your billions of dollars, you are you willing?"
Xue Jiming was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a long time.
Xue Boyong said again: "Or let's put it another way, if you inherit your father's position as the general of the town, suddenly one day, a stranger comes and says that he can use the position of the general to replace your general. Please, for the sake of his sincerity and weakness, please do it to him, are you willing?"
Xue Jiming shook his head decisively: "I don't want to." Before he finished speaking, his face was already blushing. He quickly pulled his wife to his side, and whispered, "Don't make it difficult for Lin Dan! Her medical skills are a unique skill from the family and are not granted to outsiders."
Wu Xuancao argued: "Brother, how do you know that what the other party is holding is only one hundred taels of silver, not a priceless treasure?"
Xue Boyong raised his eyebrows slightly, just as he was about to speak, Lin Dan had already opened his mouth: "Big brother doesn't understand medical theory, but I understand. Your surgical technique is not feasible at present. How can you cut open the patient's stomach? Pain for him, how to stop the bleeding, how to find his diseased organs, how to deal with the disease, how to ensure that the wound in his stomach will not cause inflammation after suture?"
Wu Hemerocallis was speechless by this series of questions.
Lin Dan then slowly shook his head: "Look, you can't answer these questions yourself, how can you teach me?"
Wu Xuancao was completely speechless.
Xue Jiming's face turned red and white, very embarrassed. It was only now that he realized that the purpose of Wu Hengcao's initiative to come to Lin Dan to apologize was not because of guilt, but to learn the other party's family medicine. If people don't want it, she will use all means to persecute, lure, and even use herself. How unfamiliar is such Wu Hemerocallis to him
He grabbed his wife's wrist with all his strength, and said forcefully, "Lin Dan doesn't want to, you can forget it, just stay at home and care for your husband and children." The words fell and the person was dragged away, and his back was very hasty.
Xue Boyong's good mood was all mixed up by these two people, and he didn't expect to get an answer to those words just now. He added some more dishes to Lin Dan, softly asking her to eat more.
Lin Dan tugged at the hem of his clothes and said bluntly, "Brother, let's get married."
Xue Boyong's chopsticks suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Lin Dan looked at his dumbfounded expression and laughed lightly: "Brother, I like the feeling that you are protecting me."
Xue Boyong then returned to his senses, hugged her into his arms, kissed her top of her hair lightly, and said cautiously as if swearing: "Lin Dan, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
