After listening to this, Xianjin's expression became unusually calm.
Melon's sudden change in August did not cause her any emotional ups and downs at all.
To be honest, the slick and pretty brother has never been her type.
In her past and present lives, she might have been moved by the veiny hands of the young attending doctor, or by an apple handed over by the patient in the next bed, or by the young man carrying the family's honor, who was standing by the stream with his umbrella drooping...
All the heartbeats are due to one truth.
Sincerity, sincerity, realness, reality, truth.
Especially after you become rich, beautiful looks can be found everywhere, but true and strong emotions are extremely precious.
Xianjin raised his chin slightly, his eyes were cold and calm, he smiled, and spoke in a gentle voice, "If success or failure is the criterion for judging heroes, Doctor Qu, you are definitely not the best choice."
Qu Qiushi's eyes dimmed and he was about to say something else.
Xianjin slowly shook his head to signal Qu Qiushi not to say anything more and to keep each other's dignity.
Xianjin's mood was very stable, and her words were like the blue waves, which could not cause any ripples even if there was wind. She said sincerely, "Doctor Qu, I understand your considerations, but I'm sorry I can't do anything. If this is really a business, I will make the request and you will make the offer. We will settle the payment and it will naturally be mutually beneficial. "
"Well, this is a marriage. Of course, I want what you said, but the premise is that you and I have a mutual understanding and emotional connection. Without this premise, your calculations and my defenses will only become more disgusting and exhausting."
Living is not easy enough. You cannot choose your blood relatives, but you have some room for choice when it comes to the person you want to spend your life with - or, you can choose to be alone.
In this era, she worked so hard to move forward just to gain the same power as men - the power to refuse.
Xianjin smiled again, "If you want to be closely tied to the Chen family, you don't necessarily have to marry me. I will sign a contract with you and ask you to take the pulse and diagnose the Chen family's servants regularly every year. Believe it or not, in time, the bosses in Xuancheng Prefecture and even South Zhili will imitate you. By then, you, as medical officers, will definitely be in great demand."
Qu Qiushi's eyebrows twitched.
Xianjin then smiled and said, "If you are willing, I can also write a letter of recommendation for you to Wang Yizheng who lives in seclusion in Jing County. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, you can go to sweep the ground and serve tea to him. Tell others that you will have a better place to come from."
The Qu family is just a rural medical family. A medical clinic is a place that values background. If Doctor Wang, who comes from the Imperial Hospital, is willing to give face to Qu Qiushi, then this young man under the age of twenty will naturally have a bright future.
only...
"There is something fishy about Master Gou's medicine. I will explain everything to Master Gou. If he forgives me, that's good. If he doesn't, I will not write this letter of recommendation to you. Whether you knew about it at the beginning or you judged the situation and followed the flow, you have hurt Master Gou in the end."
Xianjin spoke very frankly, with a calm and cheerful attitude as if he had nothing to hide.
Qu Qiushi finally raised his head slowly and looked at Xianjin with dim eyes.
For a moment, he seemed ashamed of himself in front of this girl.
There was also a moment when he really wanted to approach and touch the person in front of him in the most authentic way.
He somewhat regretted taking a shortcut when they first met.
He was too young to realize that shortcuts are often detours.
The girl from Baishui Town is young and shy. Her biggest wish in life is to marry a handsome, amiable man with a relatively wealthy family. He has always been invincible in Baishui Town and has never been defeated.
And the gold...
Qu Qiushi felt that fate was playing tricks on him: when he finally began to have some true feelings, the two of them had no chance of turning back because of their "falsehood" at the beginning.
Qu Qiushi smiled, and unlike his usual deliberate display of sophistication, his expression was somewhat decadent. "I didn't know about the changes in Brother Ergou's prescription, but I could smell that the medicine was not right, but..."
Qu Qiushi didn't continue. "I will explain to the old lady that it was because of me that the marriage was not arranged. Sister, don't worry. I will also find a chance to tell Brother Ergou about the strangeness in his medicine and apologize."
Xianjin nodded slightly.
The moon on August 15th is indeed very round. The moonlight shines on the bluestone road, turning the blue bricks into fluorescent jade.
Xianjin smiled and said, "Then shall we still go to see the lanterns?"
Qu Qiushi was like a defeated rooster, with his head down, forcing a smile, "No... no need, right?"
Xianjin nodded again and said frankly, "Well, I don't really like fearless burning."
A lamp is a lamp, and when it burns out, it should only illuminate the way forward.
The charming and colorful lantern festival always makes Xianjin feel that the light is fleeting - setting up a stall for girls to make handmade lanterns does not count, it is a business hobby and can make a lot of money.
Xianjin and Qu Qiushi walked side by side to the west of the city. Halfway through the walk, a servant from the medical clinic came to ask Qu Qiushi to see a doctor. He said that the magistrate had drunk too much at home and had been vomiting, so he wanted to ask a doctor to take a look. Qu Qiushi rolled up his sleeves and rushed out, feeling extremely grateful.
The judge is the judge, even the vomiting is so strategic, which invisibly helped him end this embarrassing and regrettable night...
The magistrate vomits well, the magistrate vomits wonderfully, the magistrate vomits terrifically!
Not long after Qu Qiushi left, a gust of wind blew past the row houses on the left, like a black shadow passing by.
Suo'er took a horse stance and stepped in front of Xianjin, his hair standing on end in anger as he stood in front of the house, "Who!"
There was no sound behind the row house, but the shadow behind Xianjin lengthened gently and slowly.
"Xianjin——"
