Chapter 139 Inquiring about their past
Xu Fu said, "There are a few female patients outside who said they feel much better today. Go over and take notes."
Qingxing ran over happily after hearing this. The master said that she had learned for too short a time and was a little impatient.
Now that the epidemic has hit, the master took her with him to take care of the female patients and help the doctors record the conditions of each female patient. After a few months, the master said that she had become much calmer, so he handed over all the work to her, asking her to listen to the doctor's instructions carefully and help carefully.
After Qingxing left, Su Qinghe asked Xu Fu, "You just said that your senior sister divorced Lord Zhao because Lord Zhao was good at pretending. What do you mean? Lord Zhao seems gentle and polite. He doesn't seem like that when he's an official serving the people. Besides, Lord Zhao is the son of the Left Prime Minister. How did they know each other?"
Xu Fu sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "Senior sister's grandfather and Lord Zhao's grandfather were classmates a long time ago, and they were engaged. When senior sister was seventeen, she went to the capital and married Lord Zhao. But this Lord Zhao was not the one you see today. Senior sister was an orphan, staying alone in the capital, with no one to talk to her. When she divorced and returned, she was completely despairing and fell seriously ill. From then on, she gave up the idea of getting married. Senior sister's current situation is all due to Lord Zhao. He pretends to be nice on the surface, but I don't know how he despises me behind my back. So, it was a huge mistake for senior sister not to divorce him sooner."
Xu Fu spoke in detail, and Su Qinghe listened carefully. After a long time, he murmured, "So that's how it is. Miss Yu..." He couldn't imagine that the seemingly weak Miss Yu had such a past.
He couldn't help but ask, "So Lord Zhao came here to serve as an official unintentionally? Miss Yu became a craftsman by her own choice, or?"
"I don't know about that, but I know that Senior Sister will stay here for the rest of her life and won't go anywhere else. That Mr. Zhao might be gone in a year. He won't have anything to do with Senior Sister."
Su Qinghe murmured, "Is that so?"
Xu Fu looked at him and said, "Of course. Senior Sister is heartbroken by this marriage. She said she doesn't want to marry anyone else and just wants to stay here and pass on her skills. Besides Lord Zhao, I think Doctor Su doesn't know, but there was also a man named Baili who also chased after Senior Sister every day. He has now returned to Fuzhou."
Su Qinghe sat at the table, no longer moving. He stared at the food in front of him thoughtfully, and didn't want to talk anymore.
Xu Fu looked at him quietly for a long moment, making sure he had recovered enough. He then said softly, "I have something else to do. Doctor Su, if you need anything, please call me."
Su Qinghe came back to his senses and said, "Okay."
Xu Fu walked out, and before leaving, he looked back. His eyes were dark and thoughtful, but he didn't look like a teenager.
Qing Xing happened to be outside at that moment, following Xu Fu. She said, "How come I've never heard Master say something like this? 'Never marry again?'"
"That's because you came late. Your master just told you, but you didn't know. And is there any need to say more? Your master will definitely stay here."
Qing Xing said, "That's true. But I'm very surprised. How come Doctor Su, who has only been here for a short time, has already asked about the master?"
Xu Fu snorted and glanced at Qingxing. "What do you know? When Doctor Su asks your master again, just say that your master will never marry, and won't marry far away. She'll stay here for the rest of her life and won't go anywhere else." Qingxing was already annoyed by this man who was obviously not much older than her, but always lectured her like an elder. She said impatiently, "You know so much, it's obvious that you are so good."
Su Qinghe in the room was thinking about Xu Fu's words.
Did Miss Yu really say that she would never marry? Was it because she was so badly hurt by Lord Zhao that she disliked the secular world and the wealthy?
Although he is a disciple of Pharmacist Valley, his family is also a big family in Jiangnan. If he does not inherit the mantle of Pharmacist Valley, he will also go home to inherit the family business.
The Su family has been practicing medicine for generations, and they had two imperial physicians in the previous dynasty. His family had written to him before, saying that they hoped he could inherit the wishes of his ancestors and practice medicine in the palace.
If that were the case, Miss Yu would definitely not marry her, because relatively speaking, her family was also a prominent family.
Moreover, Jiangnan's family is in Suzhou. Although it is not a thousand miles away, it is still considered a faraway place to marry.
He had just arrived here and had just seen such a woman, so gentle and beautiful, with her own pursuits and great righteousness. He thought it was God reminding him not to miss her. The joy in his heart grew day by day. Before he could explain it to her, he received such news.
He didn't mind that she had been married before, nor did he mind her family background, but even so, it didn't mean that Yu Huatang would choose him.
Just now Xu Fu said that there was a young master Baili before. He had heard some about him. That young master was in Fuzhou. Miss Yu did not agree, so what about him? What chance did he have?
So was their meeting just a friendship? Was all this just my infatuation and unrequited love? Was there no destiny for her and I to be husband and wife? Was it just a friendship between companions?
When he arrived at the hospital, Su Qinghe was still a little dazed.
Doctor Luo, who was standing by, saw this and came over to talk to him, "Doctor Su, we just happened to have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
Doctor Luo said, "We looked at the list given by the adults and they said that the patient needs some tonic medicine for recovery. They have a very good herb called astragalus. But someone suggested replacing it with fish maw, which we usually eat. Firstly, it's easy for fishermen on the coast to get, and secondly, some families may not be able to afford astragalus."
Su Qinghe thought about it for a while and felt that this was a very good idea. It not only took into account the products of the coastal areas but also the poor families. He was curious and admired, "Of course, which doctor came up with this idea?"
Doctor Luo saw that he looked unhappy just now, so he thought for a moment and said, "It wasn't any doctor. It was Miss Yu who discovered it while she was transcribing. She came over and asked if this was possible. We also think it's a very good idea."
Su Qinghe looked up inside and saw Yu Huatang helping to copy the relevant medical records. She worked seriously and focused. She didn't even notice the sunlight falling on her. She was in a trance, like a goddess.
She was so quiet, elegant and beautiful that she made him look like an ordinary person.
The news he just heard from Xu Fu once again made him feel helpless. How wonderful it would be if he could be with her in this life. He would study medical books while she would learn skills. They would have different topics and their own pursuits, so they would be very loving and happy.
In fact, as soon as he came out of Changming Pavilion, he had already made up his mind to let go of his infatuation and longing for her and just be an intimate friend with her.
