A busy day

"Let's go the day after tomorrow. I'll ask Danye to make some preparations tomorrow."

Shi Yanqing thought for a moment and said.

She had been away for so many days and had not yet checked the account books of the two shops. She also had to prepare the next medicine for some patients who had previously received free medical treatment.

The one with stroke, the one with swelling, the one with palpitations... In short, there are four or five agreed patients.

Thinking of this, Shi Yanqing couldn't sit still anymore. She planned to go visit the teacher now so that she could be busy with her own things tomorrow.

"An An, I have something else to do. See you the day after tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she left with Dan Ye.

Inside the house, Liu Anan opened her mouth and looked at Tao Ye blankly, "But I haven't finished my story yet."

"Forget it. Taoye, prepare some paper and pen for me and send it to Zhou's house later."

Tao Ye responded.

It had been almost half a month since I last saw Pang Guan. Before leaving, Shi Yanqing bought a few pounds of snacks and rice and flour, and finally brought a pot of wine.

I thought that was enough, so I set off.

…

The next day, Shi Yanqing got up early and started a busy day.

She first looked through the account books of the past few days at home, the abacus making crisp sounds from time to time.

At this time, Dan Ye hurried in from outside. She looked dazed, as if she knew something terrible.

Shi Yanqing was just stretching her shoulders and neck, and seeing her like this, he couldn't help but feel curious.

"What's wrong? It's like he's lost his soul."

Hearing her voice, Dan Ye's expression changed slightly, and his face became hesitant. Finally, he spoke hesitantly.

"Madam, you, I, ah!"

"What's so hard to say? Is it related to me? Or is it related to Han Zhang? Could it be that something happened to my grandmother?"

Shi Yanqing made guesses one by one, and at the end he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and stood up.

Seeing that his wife had misunderstood, Dan Ye quickly waved his hands.

"No, no, nothing happened to the old lady. It was Phoenix Flower that was in trouble."

"It's not really an accident, it's just too complicated and bizarre, I don't know how to explain it."

Something happened to Bai Fenghua. Could it be that she and Lu Jue had a falling out?

Shi Yanqing couldn't guess, so she sat down and motioned Dan Ye to tell her what had happened.

"Didn't Madam receive a letter from Madam Liu yesterday and ask me to ask how Madam Liu knew Fenghuanghua?"

"Today, I wanted to ask Fenghuanghua about this matter, but I saw Master Lu, County Magistrate Lu, and Doctor Xun entering Zuiyue Tower together."

"Not long after they went in, Phoenix Flower also came in with a whip in hand and a murderous look on her face. I was afraid something might happen, so I followed them in."

"But when I went in, I heard Doctor Xun say that he was the elder brother of Master Lu and County Magistrate Lu, and that County Magistrate Lu was their long-lost younger brother."

"After hearing this, I dared not listen any further and left in a hurry. But when I came back, I thought about it carefully. Master Lu is from the Lu family in the capital, and only that Lu family has a legitimate son."

The Lu family with a royal husband.

Shi Yanqing reacted quickly, and she was a little surprised when she first figured it out.

Xunlu, looking for land.

So that's what it means.

If the emperor is still alive and appears in Yunshui County, then the person who stays indoors in the palace must be a substitute.

I just don’t know if Her Majesty the Empress knows that her husband is in Yunshui County.

Shi Yanqing pondered deeply for a moment, and then she spoke.

"Dan Ye, we must forget about this matter. Don't mention it again unless Doctor Xun tells us."

Tan Ye nodded. She knew the seriousness of the matter. It was better not to get involved in such royal secrets.

She also heard it by accident today. If she knew she would hear such a secret, she would never enter Zuiyue Tower even if she was beaten to death.

After hearing such a secret in his free time, Shi Yanqing, who had been tired from looking at the account books, became much more excited.

She waved her hand, and Tan Ye understood and left the room.

She closed the door gently and turned to leave.

Time passed slowly and the whole morning was gone.

After closing the account book, Shi Yanqing put down his pen and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She finally finished reading the account books.

You have to know that she has been following her master since she was a child, learning to read and write, and learning medicine, but she has never learned to read account books.

She was asked to learn this skill by her grandmother after she returned to her grandmother's house.

Zhou Hanzhang did not come back for lunch.

Shi Yanqing had lunch alone. He put down his chopsticks when he was 70% full. Then it was time for fruit.

Apart from anything else, the oranges in Yunshui County are really delicious.

After she came back, she would eat a few every day.

Just as she was enjoying the leisure time after dinner, a figure that had not been seen for a long time appeared outside the yard.

"Honey, I missed you so much." Bai Fenghua quickened her pace, rushed forward, and hugged Shi Yanqing's waist.

She rubbed her face against Shi Yanqing's waist, "Honey, don't you want to say something? Don't you miss me?"

Shi Yanqing pulled Bai Fenghua's arm away helplessly.

"Please sit down first. Isn't this posture tiring?"

"Not tired~"

Bai Fenghua shook her head, but still stood up with the force and sat down on the chair next to her.

"Honey, you haven't told me whether you miss me or not."

Seeing her insistence, Shi Yanqing sighed and nodded: "I miss you."

"Hmph, I knew that my dear must miss me too." Bai Fenghua pouted like a child, which made Yan Qing's forehead bulge.

After so many years, she still can't get used to the character of the Phoenix Flower. All she can say is, there is always someone who can conquer you.

"Okay, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time? Tell me first. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't listen."

Shi Yanqing knew Bai Fenghua too well. She was very lazy, so lazy that she was too lazy to go out.

She went out, so there must be something going on.

Although it is not absolute, it is like this eight out of ten times.

Seeing Shi Yanqing say this, Bai Fenghua, who was originally planning to lay the groundwork, stopped and spoke directly.

"Lu Jue and I had physical contact."

"What did you say?" Shi Yanqing suspected that he was hallucinating.

Seeing her like this, Bai Fenghua pursed her lips and said, "I said, Lu Jue and I did that."

Shi Yanqing closed her eyes, and she could no longer maintain her usual calmness and composure.

After more than ten seconds, she opened her eyes again.

"So, you two have reconciled? Have you expressed your feelings to each other?"

Bai Fenghua nodded and shook her head.

"Lu Jue really didn't want to drag me down because of his leg problem. I told him I didn't care about it, but he still insisted on not fulfilling the engagement."

"I asked him three times, and he refused the first two times. But the third time, we both got drunk, and that's what happened."

"So, he didn't refuse the third time?" Shi Yanqing asked with gritted teeth.

She really didn't know what Bai Fenghua was thinking. Why did she give people three chances?

If Bai Fenghua knew about Shi Yanqing's problem, she would definitely say that things never happen more than three times, so everyone has three chances.

"He said he would take responsibility. But..." Bai Fenghua hesitated for a moment and continued, "But I actually don't want him to take responsibility anymore."

Shi Yanqing was a little confused when he heard this.

"I could tell he liked me, and of course I liked him too. But because of his leg, he gave up the chance to be with me, and he refused to change."

"I didn't want to use this kind of thing to change his mind, so I decided to go back. The trees in the desert haven't been planted yet, so I should go back and continue planting trees."

Shi Yanqing sorted out his thoughts and finally understood the meaning of the phoenix flower.

As early as when Lu Jue decided to cancel the engagement, she had already understood everything. This time she came to see Lu Jue, probably to see how he was doing and whether he was unable to recover.

After all, it's a relationship that we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and it's not something that can be let go just like that.

"Okay, since you've decided to go back, I won't say much."

Shi Yanqing's gaze towards Bai Fenghua suddenly became gentle, and she reached out and held Bai Fenghua's hand.

"But before we go back, why don't you go to Puxian Temple with me and An An to admire the red maple leaves?"

Bai Fenghua nodded in agreement.

She met Liu Anan because of Lu Jue. They got along well and had a good relationship these days.

After sending the person away, Shi Yanqing returned to his desk and stared at the medical book on the table in a daze.

In fact, the phoenix flower is angry and aggrieved.

But she couldn't say anything even if she knew, otherwise it would expose Phoenix Flower's pretended indifference in front of her.

Alas, the word love is the most unavoidable.

After finishing his morning work, Shi Yanqing went to Liu's house again to see if Liu Duoer had fully recovered.

She followed the housekeeper to Liu Duoer's yard. The purple flowers that were there the last time she came were no longer in bloom, and only green leaves were left in the yard.

The unknown vines on the two-story courtyard have been trimmed by the gardener, making it neat and clean.

Qi Qi was standing outside the house and immediately saw Shi Yanqing and Dan Ye pushing the door open.

She smiled and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Doctor Shi."

"How has your young lady been recovering these days? Is she feeling unwell?"

Qi Qi replied while leading the way.

"The young lady has recovered well. Apart from fatigue and drowsiness, she has no other discomfort."

Shi Yanqing nodded, "It's normal to be tired and sleepy. She was injured before and her energy is low. She still needs to recuperate."

Qi Qi went into the house to report, and soon came out to take the two of them in.

There were candles lit in the room, and a faint fruity scent lingered.

Shi Yanqing's nose twitched slightly, "This is a medicinal candle from the southwest. It is indeed different from ordinary candles."

Liu Duoer lifted the bead curtain and came out from the inner room, with a barely noticeable blush on her cheeks and a slight smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Doctor Shi is truly knowledgeable. This is indeed a medicinal candle from the southwest. My father found it and said it is good for the body."

Liu Duoer sat at the sandalwood round table and poured a cup of tea.

"Doctor Shi, please stop standing and sit down and have some tea with me."

Shi Yanqing sat down as he was told.

She picked up the tea in front of her, brought it to her lips and took a sip.

"This tea is not bitter at all, it's sweet."

Liu Duoer smiled and said, "It originally tasted bitter, but after using a special method to prepare it, only the sweetness remains."
