Chapter 124 Night Talk
"Mr. Gu, I didn't realize you were so capable!"
Duan Ya jumped out first and praised sincerely. He was a martial artist who only knew how to fight. This was the first time he had seen someone like Gu Yanqing who could convince others with his eloquence.
"Brother Broken Tooth, you are embarrassing me. I would like to learn a few moves from you so that I can improve my martial arts."
Gu Yanqing said modestly, but her eyes fell on Shen Jinan, and she looked at her with a clear desire for praise.
"My husband is truly amazing. I wonder what he said to Bai Xiaosheng, but he managed to collect such a large Buddha statue so easily."
Shen Jinan walked forward with a smile on his face and touched Gu Yanqing's head, praising him generously.
Gu Yanqing was in a good mood after being praised. He stretched out his strong arms and embraced Shen Jinan in his arms.
"Why don't you come into my room, ma'am, and I'll talk to you properly."
He whispered softly, and the hot breath he exhaled caressed her heart like a light feather, making Shen Jinan feel itchy.
Duan Ya, who was standing by, was planning to teach Gu Yanqing some self-defense martial arts, but was pulled away by Hong Niangzi who rolled her eyes.
The yard became quiet. Gu Yanqing picked up Shen Jinan and carried him horizontally. Shen Jinan suddenly flew into the air and let out a slight cry of surprise.
"Ma'am, hold on tight."
His voice was low and magnetic, and Shen Jinan hugged his neck tightly with a red face.
Gu Yanqing carried the lovely girl in his arms and returned to the room. He first gently placed Chen Jin on the bed, and then carefully took off her shoes and socks.
Shen Jinan enjoyed his movements peacefully, patted her sore shoulders again, winked at Gu Yanqing coquettishly, and motioned him to massage her shoulders.
Gu Yanqing chuckled softly and scratched her nose lovingly, "I'll give you a massage right away."
Hearing him joking like this, Shen Jinan chuckled and laughed non-stop.
Gu Yanqing took the opportunity to lie down on the bed with her. Shen Jinan took the opportunity to tease him, and the two of them laughed and made a fuss.
After a burst of laughter, both of them collapsed on the bed exhausted. Gu Yanqing turned over and half-raised his body, with his other arm resting on Shen Jinan's slender waist.
"Madam, why don't you just rest here tonight?"
Shen Jinan was secretly startled and looked up at him, only to see that the tips of Gu Yanqing's ears had also turned a lot redder.
"My husband, you are such a scoundrel now."
She said something coquettishly, but there was no trace of blame in her tone.
Gu Yanqing knew that she meant she agreed, and happily kissed her forehead.
The soft touch made both of them blush.
An ambiguous atmosphere spread in the room.
"Husband, husband, aren't you going to tell me what you said to Bai Xiaosheng today? Tell me now, I'm curious."
Shen Jinan spoke timidly, with curiosity and admiration in his eyes.
Gu Yanqing chuckled, hugged Shen Jinan into his arms, and spoke softly about the topic he mentioned to Bai Xiaosheng today.
People's livelihood, history, geography, humanities...
Shen Jinan's eyes became brighter as he listened, and the admiration in his clear eyes was about to overflow.
Gu Yanqing is an excellent speaker and has extensive knowledge. When he talks about these topics, he can quote from classics and speaks like he knows them by heart.
The two talked until midnight and then went to bed, and had a sweet sleep all night.
The next day, Shen Jinan received an invitation from the prefect's wife, who said that she had already found all the medicinal herbs and was waiting for Shen Jinan to come.
Shen Jinan put away the post, dressed up simply, put on his medicine box and got on the carriage.
"Uncle Zhou, let's go to the government office today."
"Yes!"
Uncle Zhou responded, waved his whip, and rode away on his two chestnut horses.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the vermilion gate of the government office. Shen Jinan lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage neatly.
"Uncle Zhou, please take a rest first."
Shen Jinan gave an order and walked towards the gate, where a maid was already waiting to lead the way.
"Doctor Shen is here. Our wife has been talking about you for a long time."
The maid was Luzhu, the personal maid of the magistrate's wife. She was about the same age as Shen Jinan, so naturally she couldn't help but talk more.
"Doctor Shen, you don't know that ever since you gave Madam acupuncture last time, she has been thinking about it and has been urging you to gather the herbs. Today, they are finally gathered, so she hurriedly invited Doctor Shen over."
Shen Jinan smiled without saying anything, then looked at Luzhu's expression and asked softly.
"Miss Luzhu, do you have a stomachache today?"
Luzhu was still mumbling something, but when she heard this, her eyes immediately widened and she grabbed Shen Jinan's hand.
"Doctor Shen, you're amazing! I had my period today. The pain was unbearable this morning, and I just drank some hot soup and it's getting better."
Shen Jinan still had a smile on his face. He took out some pills made of motherwort from his sleeve and put them into Luzhu's hand.
"Girl, you might as well try taking some of these pills. In the future, avoid eating raw or cold food, and don't touch cold water during menstruation."
Luzhu was flattered to take the pill, thanked Shen Jinan repeatedly, and talked a lot to Shen Jinan.
Shen Jinan got a lot of information she wanted to know, and secretly felt lucky that the pills Yue Buwei made for her last time were now useful.
When they arrived at Huiyaju, Luzhu finally stopped talking and became as quiet as before. She lifted the curtain of the inner room and invited Shen Jinan in.
As soon as Shen Jinan stepped into the inner room, the prefect's wife, who had been frowning, suddenly brightened up and stood up to greet him.
"Doctor Shen, you're finally here. I've found all the herbs. It took a lot of effort."
The prefect's wife smiled and asked the maids to open the boxes of medicinal herbs one by one and show them in front of Shen Jinan.
Looking at these high-quality medicinal herbs floating in front of Shen Jinan, Shen Jinan seemed to see the experience points jumping in front of him.
"Yes, the prefect's wife is truly a capable woman."
Shen Jinan praised sincerely, and the prefect's wife immediately smiled with her eyes curved.
"Oh, Dr. Shen, thank you for your praise. But when can you make the pills?"
The prefect’s wife frowned slightly again, looking at Shen Jinan with expectation and worry.
Shen Jinan smiled and gestured for the prefect's wife to sit down first, "Let me take your pulse first."
The prefect's wife immediately sat down obediently, pulled up her sleeves, and revealed a piece of her snow-white wrist.
In fact, the wife of the prefect suffered from high blood pressure, which was caused by long-term consumption of delicacies and long periods of sitting.
The reason why Shen Jinan wanted the wife of the prefect to be so busy was not only to make things difficult for Cao Xingzhu, but more to increase the wife's expectations for the treatment.
If Shen Jinan had just told her to eat a light diet and exercise more, the prefect's wife would not only not believe her, but would think she was incompetent.
From the current situation, it seems that the magistrate's wife really regards her as a miracle doctor.
"Ma'am, don't worry. Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. Only when your attitude is good can you cure the disease."
Shen Jinan spoke a few profound words, and the prefect's wife didn't dare to urge her anymore. She just looked at her expectantly.
