Chapter 276: Hidden Meaning
"And the grocery store owner had to explain for a long time every time before he could sell the blind man the bamboo basket he wanted. Over time, the grocery store owner became very tired, but he had no choice but to accept it for the sake of business."
"After a while, the blind man brought a mute and said that he could no longer buy bamboo baskets. Instead, he asked the mute to buy bamboo baskets for him. When the owner of the grocery store heard this, he looked depressed and became even more upset."
"You know, it takes a lot of effort to sell the bamboo baskets to a blind man who can talk. If he wants to sell these bamboo baskets to a mute who can't talk, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?"
"Selling a bamboo basket doesn't make much money, and it takes a lot of effort. The owner of the grocery store doesn't want to do this business. He refused and said he didn't want to sell them bamboo baskets anymore."
"The blind man was naturally puzzled and asked the reason. The shopkeeper did not hide anything and just told the owner about his worries. The blind man then took the mute to the nearby shop to buy a bamboo basket. Not long after, he came out with the bamboo basket he had bought."
"The shopkeeper of this grocery store was naturally very puzzled, wondering why the grocery store next door could sell things to the mute so easily, so he went to ask the shopkeeper next door, but the shopkeeper of the grocery store next door laughed and said that the mute could not speak, but the mute was not blind and could see. You don't need to spend much time, you can naturally pick out what you want."
"The grocery store owner was stunned when he heard this and regretted his decision."
After Su Yujin finished telling the joke, she looked at He Yanxiu with a smile, "What do you think of this joke, Master?"
He Yanxiu nodded, "It has a profound meaning, and it warns everyone. It's a great joke."
And there is something else behind his words.
A dumb person cannot speak, but his eyes are bright and he can see everything.
Some things don't have to be said.
He Yanxiu nodded slightly, picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for Su Yujin, "Eat more, and after you finish your meal, take a walk in the yard before going to bed, so that you won't feel uncomfortable because of indigestion."
"I can't sleep right now, so I might as well go with you. The moonlight tonight is great, so we can enjoy it."
"Okay." Su Yujin agreed with a smile, her eyes flickering across He Yanxiu's face before finally settling on the bowl of newly brought wontons in front of her.
Listening to sweet words is actually a pleasurable thing.
But she is a doctor, and can also be considered half a cook. Perhaps influenced by her profession, Su Yujin always likes to do more and talk less.
Just like this wonton, until you bite it into your mouth, you will never know what the filling is or how it tastes. Everyone has different tastes, so even if you say something fancy, it still depends on whether this wonton is the kind she wants to eat.
He Yanxiu was a gentle person and had always treated her well, but she was very concerned about what this kindness was based on and how long it would last.
She needs time to see, to experience, to find answers so that she can feel at ease.
She needs more time to ask herself.
After interacting with He Yanxiu for several years, it would be a lie to say that she had always simply regarded He Yanxiu as a master and a friend, without any other unusual feelings. However, she herself was not sure whether the feelings she had reached the level of those of a lover.
More importantly, once she decides to accept this emotion, it means that she will face the difficulties that this world has to offer.
She was born into a merchant family, was an orphan at this moment, and had lived in Wanhua Tower for several years... No matter which of these facts were brought up, she was not a good match for He Yanxiu.
Even if the He family is tolerant and He Yanxiu can withstand all the pressure, and the two of them can get together smoothly, many things in the future will not be so easy.
She has to deal with everything, including the affairs of the harem and the woman's social engagements.
She also needs to be well prepared.
Material, reputation, and even psychological.
Seeing Su Yujin thoughtful, He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "I will arrange everything slowly, you don't have to worry too much."
Su Yujin came back to her senses and nodded "hmm".
Speaking of arrangements, He Yanxiu had sent people to look for her family.
If that's the case, then long ago, He Yanxiu...
Su Yujin raised her eyes and met He Yanxiu's eyes.
It is deep and gentle, like a tranquil lake without any ripples, yet it is just like the surging waters of a river, so magnificent that one can sink into it.
The wind blew, ruffling Su Yujin's hair. ——Thanks to the prescription for curing the epidemic developed by Su Yujin, and the hard work of the Third Prince, Zheng Yakun and others, after more than half a month, the epidemic in Hongzheng Mansion was under control to a certain extent.
Those who have not been infected with the epidemic took precautions in advance, and those who have been infected with the epidemic received adequate diagnosis and treatment. Although the number of people infected with the epidemic in the Hong Zheng Mansion was large, if this continues, the epidemic will be eradicated in the near future.
The Third Prince and He Yanxiu both breathed a sigh of relief, wrote a memorial, and had it sent back to the capital by express horse to explain the situation to the emperor.
At the end of August, the sweet-scented osmanthus fills the air.
Wu Xingyu came to bid farewell to the Third Prince and He Yanxiu before returning to Beijing.
The repair of the river embankment has been completed long ago, and Wu Xingyu should have returned to Beijing to report.
However, Wu Xingyu was worried about the poison in his stomach, and was afraid that if he did not behave properly, he would not be able to get the antidote, so he took the initiative to stay and help deal with disaster relief matters. Especially when the epidemic broke out, Wu Xingyu took a lot of silver to purchase the medicinal materials needed to treat the epidemic.
Wu Xingyu smiled very flatteringly at this time, "I originally wanted to stay for a few more days. It would be best if I could return to the capital with the Third Prince and Lord He, but the Ministry of Works still has many errands to do, so I really can't wait that long, so I have to go back first."
"After returning to the capital, if the emperor summons me, I will report the truth without any falsehood. I will also tell you clearly what the Third Prince and Lord He did here."
"If Doctor Wu can really report the truth, it would be a good thing." He Yanxiu said, "But this disaster relief is not just the work of the Third Prince and me, but also the great help of the people below, especially the epidemic, Doctor Su can be said to have made an indelible contribution."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Wu Xingyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Madam Su is kind-hearted and has superb medical skills. She is a role model for women in the world. She is as good as any man. I admire her!”
Since a few days ago, Su Yujin has regained her daughter's appearance and walked around everywhere.
At first, everyone was extremely surprised to see such a delicate and strange girl suddenly appear in the inn, but when they learned that the beautiful Su Yujin in front of them was the thin doctor Su Yu, they were shocked at first, but then they suddenly realized.
No wonder Doctor Su Yu, although he is a man, has a slender figure and is much shorter than ordinary men.
No wonder Doctor Su Yu always wears a weird gown with a protruding collar.
No wonder Dr. Su Yu has never been seen shirtless, no matter how hot the weather is...
