But the mistakes here could be ridiculously big.
"Has Xiaocaoer not told her family about this yet?"
"It's never too late to talk when you're ready to leave."
"Your mother and the others will probably be unhappy by then." From the perspective of fellow elders, this is not difficult to think of.
"I know, but if I had told them earlier, they would have been worried before they left."
Doctor Lin has always been a bit obsessed with his daughter, so normally, he wouldn't say anything. "In that case, let's prepare as soon as possible. Let's set off early. Whether it's true or not, the sooner we can confirm it, the better."
"Dad," it's not easy to change the name you've been using for so long. When there's only one "Dad" around you, it's best to call him that. At other times, just be careful. In fact, Xiao Cao knows that although his adoptive father generously accepted the name "adoptive father," he probably isn't so smooth in his heart. "In fact, I want you to stay in the Imperial City. I originally thought that the Imperial Hospital should be a holy place for medicine. In fact, it's quite disappointing. With you in charge, I can feel more at ease. In addition, although you're in good health, I really don't want to see you running around outside."
Divine Doctor Lin thought for a moment, "That's fine. However, the Imperial Hospital is still of some standard, but it is a bit rigid and stupid. It has not made any progress in decades. If it doesn't make progress, it will regress. Xiao Cao'er, you are different. Not only do you have top talent, but you also know how to think and adapt. You never stick to the rules and are good at approaching things from different directions. Naturally, no one can compare with you."
Doctor Lin has always liked to praise and show off his little girl, and till now, the habit has not changed.
Xiaocao was used to hearing this and didn't argue with him because, in the end, it was actually meaningless.
"Then Dad will have a hard time during this period. After all, in this high-ranking family, it is not like being outside. There may be some restrictions."
Doctor Lin waved his hand and said, "I only do what I should do and don't care about the rest. What else can I do?"
In this respect, the father and daughter are in the same vein. Of course, generally speaking, there is nothing to worry about if Doctor Lin stays in the imperial city.
"Then I'll ask Tingyu to prepare as soon as possible. He's in poor health. If he doesn't prepare well, he'll definitely feel uncomfortable on the road." Xiaocao herself doesn't really care. She can just pick up some things and hit the road. Even if she doesn't bring any money, she doesn't have to worry at all.
"You want to bring Tingyu along? That's fine. If he stays in the imperial city, he can only wait and there's nothing I can do to help. Take me to see the patients you have who need long-term medication one day. I don't think I will need to do anything. I can just prescribe some medicine. You don't need to worry about anything else, but you have to be careful when you go out."
"Ting Yu will definitely bring a lot of people with him, and I have plenty of self-defense medicines on me, so you can rest assured."
That day, during dinner, Xiaocao told her family about her plan to go out.
Han's reaction was a little intense. The words "not allowed" seemed to be on the tip of her tongue, but Wenren Taibo quickly pulled back the words and she swallowed them back. But her face looked very wrong. The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little low. The other young people didn't dare to breathe and just lowered their heads to eat in silence.
Han's emotions calmed down for a while, "Xuan'er, if something like this happens again in the future, remember to tell me as soon as possible. When you are away from home, it is not like being at home. There are many things to prepare. If time is too tight, you will not have enough time to prepare."
Xiao Cao could sense that she might have done something wrong this time, "Mom..."
"Okay, continue eating. You have so much to do every day. Your father is not as busy as you. Eat more." He picked up some food for Xiaocao.
At the dinner table, Xiaocao didn't say anything else, but after that, he was much quieter than usual.
After dinner, the family would normally sit together and chat, but today, even Wenren Taibo found an excuse to leave, leaving only Han and Xiaocao, mother and daughter.
Xiaocao's emotional intelligence is actually a little lacking, of course, her IQ is also exercised selectively.
However, knowing that her mother was angry, it was right to apologize. She said sorry softly and Han was completely helpless with her.
Han sighed and embraced her, "If it were up to me, I would naturally hope that you would stay in the imperial city forever, not go anywhere, and live a peaceful and stable life. If you were a man, and wanted to go out to study, I would agree without hesitation. It's just that it hurts to think about a girl traveling outside, sleeping in the open air. But you have taken a different path from ordinary girls. When it is necessary, I have no reason to stop you. There is this first time, and there may be a second and third time, and many times in the future. But, you need to tell me earlier. I also know that I didn't say it before, maybe because I wanted me to worry less for two days, but Xuan'er, you have to know that as a mother, no matter how many days of worry, I don't want to know it at the end."
"Mom, I know. I was wrong. But you don't have to worry. Tingyu is here. He will never let me down."
"Don't mention him to me!" Han's face darkened even more. If it weren't for that bastard, why would she let her precious daughter run around so hard? "This time you have to come back a little thinner. I want him to look good."
Xiaocao inadvertently brought another wave of hatred to Prince Wei, so she shut her mouth obediently. One can imagine how Prince Wei would be shunned when he faced his mother-in-law when he came back, because, there is a kind of thinness called "Mom feels thinner."
The next day, Xiaocao planned to go to Pingyang Marquis Mansion in person, but Han did not let her and sent someone over at random.
All right, my dear mother is not to be offended now, Xiaocao should be obedient, although it may be a little unfair to Wei, but he is a grown man, it doesn't matter if he loses a piece of flesh. So, Xiaocao calmly took Doctor Lin to see those patients and hand over. If he could teach Xiaocao so well, he must be a better "teacher", and this old man is more trustworthy than the younger generation, so there is no problem with the handover process.
However, Doctor Lin disagrees with the view that he is better than Xiaocao now. He may be older and more experienced, but he may not be able to compare with Xiaocao in other aspects.
Of course, I finally asked the reason, and Xiaocao just said that he would be away for a while, but didn't specify the details.
After all, this is Xiaocao's private matter. If she doesn't say anything, others naturally shouldn't ask about it.
After returning home from a walk outside, I heard that Prince Wei was undergoing the test of Madam Wenren's cold face.
Wei Tingyu's EQ is actually much higher than Xiaocao's, and his IQ is also online throughout the whole process. As soon as he got the news, he almost knew what he was going to face. There is nothing much to say, what needs to be faced must be faced.
Xiaocao thought that if she went there now, she would probably add fuel to the fire, so she simply turned around and went out again. After giving instructions to the patient, she also needed to say hello to her good friend Zhen Muyao and the others, so it would be better to go there in person.
After Han learned of Xiaocao's whereabouts, she simply said "I know" and then looked at Wei Tingyu with a bit of sarcasm, as if to say: Look, your position in my daughter's heart is just like this.
Seeing his mother-in-law seemed to become childish, Prince Wei lowered his eyebrows and kept silent, pretending to be well behaved.
Seeing this, Han was furious and told him to get out as he wasted her time.
Okay, now whatever Han says is what it means, and whatever Prince Wei says is nothing.
However, after learning about this, I really don't know what Wei Tingyu was thinking, because on the surface, he was no different from usual. Most people at this time would either be completely unconvinced and negative, or nervous and anxious when they see a glimmer of hope, plus the worry and fear of failure. Wei Tingyu didn't care about anything, just like he just heard a piece of ordinary news, which didn't affect his mood at all.
It was easy for Wei Tingyu to go out. He just needed to tell his mother. The most important thing was to inform the emperor. Of course, he explained everything very clearly to Emperor Xuanren.
Emperor Xuanren was a considerate and good emperor. He approved Wei Tingyu's request for indefinite leave without hesitation. Of course, you could also say that he was a bastard emperor who always wanted to maximize the value of his subjects.
After hearing about this, Lady Pingyang couldn't help but tighten her Buddhist beads in her hand, and only loosened them after a while. "Since you are going out, go back early to prepare, bring a few more people, and prepare everything. You don't have to worry about other things."
The wife of Marquis Pingyang is just less worldly, which does not mean that she has seen through the world. However, her son may be her only concern in the world.
The mother and son were not close, and neither of them wanted to change deliberately, so Wei Tingyu responded and left. However, Hua Yugen and Zhou's mother were extremely excited after knowing this. Although the others were not so obvious, they could not hide the joy on their faces.
Even if Wei Tingyu reminded them, it was only a possibility and no one was sure. They might be disappointed at that time.
Their excitement did not subside. In their opinion, a man like their master was blessed by heaven and God would definitely give him a way out.
Whether they really thought so or were unwilling to admit it, if they lost this opportunity, they might really despair. Wei Tingyu said no more, but just handed over the list of people to be taken away, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
Now, the inner house of Pingyang Marquis's mansion was ruled by the wife of Pingyang Marquis, and Wei Tingyu's yard had always been like an iron barrel. Therefore, until Wei Tingyu took people and things out, others knew what he was going to do. - Of course, they still didn't know what it was for.
Marquis Pingyang expressed great dissatisfaction with this, but his wife only replied indifferently, "What can the Marquis do even if he knows? Do you want to say something to your son, or help with something?" Marquis Pingyang was speechless and walked away with a dark face.
The wife of Marquis Pingyang didn't even move her eyelids and didn't take Marquis Pingyang seriously.
Most of Wei Tingyu's people took their things and left first, then went to Wenren's house to pick up Xiaocao. However, the "grand scene" in front of Wenren's house made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly. He was very suspicious whether they were moving to another place this time instead of going out for a while.
Xiaocao felt headache and helpless when facing Han who was still asking people to move things. She couldn't persuade him at all. She wanted to ask other people to help, but each one backed off faster than the last. While Han was helping Xiaocao pack things, his temper was really bad. No matter what anyone said, they would be looked down upon, so no one dared to show their head at all.
Xiao Cao caught Wei Tingyu, and although she didn't say anything, her meaning was obvious. Xiao Cao also knew that it was a bit unfair to let Wei Tingyu take the blame, but she really had no choice, and Wei Tingyu had to help her.
Wei Tingyu can be regarded as Han's class enemy. He is the person who can least please Han. However, no matter what the considerations are, he must try to dissuade Han.
Perhaps he had seen Han's cold face so many times that he had become immune to it. Facing Han's cold snort, Wei Tingyu lowered his brows and looked calm. Of course, in Han's eyes, he was just shameless and a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Wei Tingyu didn't bother to explain anything big. He just said that they would be away for at most half a year. There were too many things and the journey was long. Those unnecessary things would become a burden. By that time, the servants would have to look after the things and might not be able to take good care of the master.
Han's goal was to make Xiaocao's life better. If he neglected the essentials and pursued the trivial, it would naturally not be beautiful. So, looking at the big and small bags of things, he remained silent.
Then, Wei Tingyu asked someone to give Han a list of things his people had prepared. Because his position was special and the people under him were also special, no one knew better than them what he needed when he was away from home.
When Han took a look, her face felt hot. She had never thought of many things on it. Her preparations were indeed inappropriate. To be honest, the mistake was because she did not consider Xiaocao's actual purpose. She had never been involved in this aspect before and did not understand it at all. These things she prepared were indeed very suitable for her eldest son who was about to take office.
Han lost face in front of Wei Tingyu, so naturally she was in an even worse mood. She deliberately found fault and insisted that he did it on purpose, but she seemed to be a little timid, short of breath and guilty.
The disciple listened obediently, with an attitude of "Mother-in-law, whatever you say is what I am going to say."
As expected, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Han was so angry that she wanted to slap him, "Then tell me, what should Xuan'er bring?"
"Some changes of clothes, and what she needs for her own medical practice, that's enough, the rest is already prepared."
So, in fact, what Xiaocao prepared herself was enough, and Han's efforts were completely in vain!
And in the end, even if Han asked to bring servants and guards, she didn't want only a few maids. According to what Wei Tingyu said, ordinary servants serving as guards would also be a burden for their trip.
Han was so angry!
