Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Lin Arsen remembered that Yu Qizhe was the top three scholar three years ago, so his attitude became much warmer. He even talked to him about the Four Books and Five Classics, and they got along quite well for a while.
Yu Jiao sat quietly by the side and listened. At this time, a servant came in and said, "Young lady heard that female doctor Yu was here, so she specially asked me to invite her over."
Lin Arsen looked at Yu Jiao, who stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go see Miss Lin."
Yu Qizhe nodded at her, and Yu Jiao followed the maid to the backyard.
The maid led Yu Jiao into the West Garden. After entering the room, she said to Lin Shuang who was lying on the bed, "Miss, female doctor Yu is here."
Lin Shuang half-sat up, her pretty face still a little pale, and said to Yu Jiao with a smile, "Doctor Yu, please sit down."
Yu Jiao sat on the soft couch by the window, and the maid brought her cakes and tea.
"Miss Lin, are you feeling well these days?" Yu Jiao picked up the tea and took a sip, then asked with a smile.
Lin Shuang said softly, "Thanks to the excellent medical skills of Dr. Yu, I have no other discomfort except for occasional fatigue. I didn't thank Dr. Yu in person the last time I fell asleep."
"Miss Lin, you are too polite." Yu Jiao put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "Miss Lin, there is no need to be polite. Treating illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a doctor."
Lin Shuang still said gratefully, "If it weren't for Doctor Yu, Bao Ge'er and I would have been hard to survive." She said to the maid, "Go and ask the nurse to bring Bao Ge'er here for Doctor Yu to take a look."
Soon, the wet nurse came into the house carrying Baoger in the cradle. Yu Jiao looked at Baoger's chubby white face and couldn't help touching it with her fingertips. The little baby's face was so soft and tender. He gnawed his fingers, and his big round eyes like black grapes turned around and stared at Yu Jiao curiously.
"Miss Lin, are you going to name this child Baoger?" Yu Jiao withdrew her hand and looked at the little baby, her heart softened.
Lin Shuang's face was filled with the tenderness of a new mother. She looked at Bao Ge'er with a smile and said, "This is the nickname his father gave him. He said that this child is delicate and made me suffer a lot in my belly."
Yu Jiao played with Baoger in Lin Shuang's room for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, a maid came over and said that Master Lin had returned home, and invited Yu Jiao to the front hall again.
When Yu Jiao arrived at the front hall, Lin Fu was talking to Yu Qizhe, with admiration in his eyes. It seemed that he had read the article written by Yu Qizhe.
"Miss Yu, it turns out that your brother was the top scorer in the exam three years ago. I have read his essay, and he will have no problem passing the exam this fall." Lin Fu said with a smile on his gray-bearded face when he saw Yu Jiao walk in.
Yu Jiao was happy for Yu Qizhe from the bottom of her heart when she heard him say this. She sat down on the chair and said, "To be honest, I came here today not only to ask you to help me with my brother's article, but also to ask you for help with another matter."
Lin Fu smiled and said, "Miss Yu, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."
"I have three older brothers who are all studying at the county school. I originally wanted the teachers at the academy to write letters of recommendation for them, but they had to take the imperial examination this fall. Some time ago, I was seeing a doctor and accidentally offended the master of the Zhang family. He has a lot of connections at the county school, so he asked the teachers at the academy to remove my three brothers from the list of students."
Yu Jiao did not hide anything and told all about her relationship with the master of the Zhang family. She continued, "I came here this time for my three brothers. I would like to ask you to help write three letters of recommendation for the provincial tribute."
After hearing her words, Lin Fu pondered for a while before asking, "Your other three brothers have never passed the Tongsheng exam?"
Yu Jiao said, "It's embarrassing to say that I haven't. My father at home values his children's education and hopes that they can pass the imperial examinations and become officials to bring honor to the family. He spent a lot of money to send them to the county school just for the recommended students."
