Chapter 130 Cui Shuer
Since the incident at the Thirteen Villages ended, the braised food stall was naturally safe and sound. Li Chunhua, together with Madam Zhou and Madam Zhang, made the braised food stall prosperous.
Boss Wen of Chunhetang also finished his business in his hometown and rushed back to Puzhou. Shen Jinan went to Chunhetang every day to see patients and prescribe medicine as usual. His reputation gradually grew, and countless people specifically wanted to see Shen Jinan.
Gu Yanqing gave the children who went to school at home a holiday. As the year was coming to an end, children from poor families had to take on responsibilities early. After assigning them homework, he asked them to go home and help with the housework.
Gu Yanqing was a little uncomfortable with the sudden free time, so he planned to go to the town to see if there was any ghostwriting work available.
If I could earn some money, I could use it as New Year's money for Sui Sui Huan Huan.
He took the village ox cart and came to the town slowly. When he was about to go to the study, a beautiful figure fell into his arms.
Suddenly smelling the scent of powder, he subconsciously moved aside and raised his hand to pull the man's sleeve.
This allowed the man to barely stand firm. He turned his head to look at Gu Yanqing, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Gu Yanqing didn't feel anything. After he finished pooping, he turned around and continued walking forward. Unexpectedly, he was blocked again.
"Sir, may I ask your name?"
Cui Shuer asked shyly with her eyes rolling.
She went out shopping without telling her family today and was almost discovered by a servant. Unexpectedly, she ran into such a god-like figure on the way to escape.
The Cui family is a royal merchant family with great wealth and power, so it is not impossible for her to find a good-looking son-in-law.
But Gu Yanqing didn't even glance at her, walked away from her in a distant manner, and continued to stride forward.
Cui Shu'er didn't give up, thinking that she hadn't performed well just now, so she got anxious and grabbed his sleeve.
"Sir, please stay. You just saved me. Could you please tell me your name so I can thank you later?"
She spoke hurriedly, her cheeks flushed.
Gu Yanqing finally lowered his eyes and looked at her, then pulled his sleeve out of her hand.
“No need.”
The tone was three degrees colder than the air, leaving Cui Shuer stunned.
From childhood to adulthood, who around her didn't flatter her and give in to her? When she grew up, the number of people proposing marriage to her was almost overwhelming, and there were countless men who were attracted to her.
Today she finally took the initiative, but Gu Yanqing rejected her.
Cui Shuer's heart was broken. She looked at Gu Yanqing's back as he left and stomped her feet in anger.
At this time, the maid of the Cui family also rushed over. Seeing that her master was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"My dear lady, please make it easy for me to find you. If anything happens to you in Puzhou, will I still have my life?"
Cui Shuer ignored her words, pointed at Gu Yanqing's back and said stubbornly.
"I want you to find out all the information about this young man. If you can't find it, don't go home!"
After saying that, she stamped her feet and returned to the Cui family's luxurious carriage.
Gu Yanqing happened to have taken on a letter-writing job in the study. With the help of the study's pens and ink, he quickly helped the person write the letter.
After getting the money, he saw that it was still early, so he went to the pastry shop to buy Shen Jinan the date paste cake she liked. He held it in his arms for fear that it would get cold. He asked along the way and finally found Chunhetang.
In Chunhe Hall, Shen Jinan was taking the pulse of the last patient of the day. The dim candlelight in the room flickered, reflecting her soft profile.
Gu Yanqing did not go in to disturb her, but waited quietly outside the door, watching her say something gently to the patient.
After sending the patient away, Shen Jinan stood up to pack his things, and when he looked up, he met Gu Yanqing's gaze outside the door.
Gu Yanqing shook the date paste cake in his hand at her and smiled gently at her.
Shen Jinan quickly packed up his things, put on his medicine box, said hello to the Chunhetang staff, and walked out.
"How come my husband has time to come to town today?"
She spoke with a smile, her eyes and eyebrows full of tenderness.
Gu Yanqing considerately helped her put the medicine box on the table, and then handed her the date paste cake.
"The New Year is coming soon. I gave my students a holiday and came to town to find some letter writing work to earn some money. Here, this is the jujube paste cake I bought for you. Eat it while it's hot."
Shen Jinan happily took the jujube paste cake, and the aroma of the still hot jujube paste cake filled her nose.
Take a bite, and the aroma of the soft and fluffy red dates immediately fills your heart.
"My husband is so kind!"
She tilted her head back, holding a date paste cake in her mouth, with a satisfied look on her face like a cat.
Gu Yanqing touched her head lovingly, "As long as my wife is happy, I am happy."
The two got on the carriage and prepared to go home.
But little did he know that all this was seen clearly by Cui Shuer who was sitting in a carriage not far away.
Loneliness and envy flashed through her eyes as she slowly lowered the curtain.
"Hongxiu, go find out the identity of that woman."
The woman named Hongxiu agreed, bowed, and walked away.
Not long after, Hongxiu came back with the news she had heard.
"Miss, that woman's surname is Shen. She is the chief physician of Chunhe Hall. The man she left with just now is the Mr. Gu you are looking for. They are husband and wife. I heard that they have a good relationship and two children."
Hongxiu looked at her young lady with a worried look.
Cui Shuer's face turned pale. She didn't expect that Gu Yanqing already had a wife and children so early.
"I finally fell in love with this man, how come he already has a family so early?"
Tears trickled down her beautiful face.
Seeing her master sad, Hongxiu hurried to comfort her, "How could that be? If he had met the young lady earlier, he would have loved her to death. Besides, their relationship may not be good. If the young lady can intervene, there is still a chance."
Hearing this, Cui Shuer grabbed Hongxiu's hand and said, "Hongxiu, do you have any ideas?"
Hongxiu thought about it for a while, and finally whispered something in Cui Shuer's ear.
The more Cui Shu'er listened, the more suspicious she became. "Can it really work?"
"Miss, just give it a try. We still have to stay in Puzhou City for a long time. There must be a chance to capture Master Gu."
Hongxiu held Cui Shuer's hand tightly. When Cui Shuer thought of Gu Yanqing's face, she shyly agreed.
Here, Shen Jinan and Gu Yanqing had just arrived home when Sui Sui Huanhuan ran out to greet them.
"Daddy! Mommy!"
The two little balls ran over and were caught by the two. Shen Jinan smiled and rubbed Huanhuan's cheek.
"What did you two do today?"
Sui Sui Huan Huan hurriedly rushed to answer.
"Mom, I learned how to pick herbs from Grandpa Yue today, and I even found a herb on the side of the road!"
"Mom, I learned a set of boxing from Uncle Broken Tooth today. I'll show you how to do it later."
The two little kids were talking in a hurry, their big grape-like eyes sparkling.
"That's great! Mommy will make you something delicious tonight as a reward!"
Shen Jinan touched Sui Sui Huanhuan's head and turned into the kitchen.
