Chapter 117
The layout of the second floor of the clinic is completely different from that of the first floor.
The first floor is simple, while the second floor is exquisite in every detail. It is not difficult to see that the person who decorated it put a lot of thought into it, and it is indeed surprising.
When everyone sat down, Aunt He and her sister-in-law came up with a copper kettle filled with freshly boiled water. They uncovered the teapot on the table and slowly poured in the hot water, which immediately filled the air with the fragrance of flowers.
Someone looked at the floating petals and asked in surprise, "Are you using flowers to make tea?"
Scented tea originated in the Song Dynasty, but at that time very few people would use flowers to make tea.
Yu Ying explained, "Scented tea can invigorate blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, improve beauty, and relieve depression and calm the mind. I added honey to make the tea even sweeter."
Everyone had different expressions, all feeling curious.
After a while, the scented tea had brewed and Yu Ying stepped forward to pour tea for the guests at Madam Zhou's table. "Ladies and girls, please try some," she said.
Although it sounded nice, Yu County was far away from the capital, and information was slow to arrive. No one knew that flowers could be used to make tea, so everyone was hesitant to pick up their teacups.
"I've only heard of using flowers in bathing water and cakes, but I've never heard of them being used to make tea."
Madam Zhou, however, took the cup first, bringing it to her nose and gently inhaling the sweet aroma of the tea. She said slowly, "Madam Yu is from the capital. A few years ago, when I was still in Yuzhang, I heard that the noble ladies of the capital used flowers in their tea. I never thought I would be able to enjoy it here today, Madam Yu."
After saying that, he took a sip.
Seeing this, Yu Ying knew that Madam Zhou was helping her.
Seeing that the magistrate's wife had already drunk it, everyone naturally had no reason not to drink it. Besides, the magistrate's wife also said that there were noble ladies in the capital who added flowers to tea, so it must be a rare thing.
Everyone poured themselves some tea and took a sip. It tasted quite good, and the fragrance lingered on the lips and teeth for a while after drinking it.
"This tea tastes quite good!" Mrs. Chen said in surprise.
Yu Ying added, "Why not try these snacks as well?"
After drinking the sweet floral tea, the awkward atmosphere dissipated, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed, and everyone began to taste the cakes.
Aside from the young lady from the Li family, there weren't many people finding fault. One woman chuckled and asked, "I wonder if this clinic will offer you these delicious teas and cakes for massages in the future?"
Yu Ying responded, "Of course we have tea and cakes, but the ingredients for these two cakes are a bit troublesome. If the ladies and girls want to come, please send someone to make an appointment a day in advance so that I can make preparations."
Yu Ying pointed at the pastry touched with cream.
The Li family girl still didn't give up and whispered, "Why come to the clinic when you're fine?"
Madam Zhou glanced at her and she shut her mouth.
Yu Ying didn't say anything, only saying, "If you feel any discomfort in your shoulders, neck, or waist, or if you feel tired all over, you can come to the clinic and get a massage. It will help."
Then he added, "The second floor is specifically used for physical therapy. We don't normally accept ordinary patients, and men are not allowed up there."
Upon hearing this, everyone was very satisfied with the environment here.
After Yu Ying finished speaking, she went to get the price list that Fu Wei had copied for her last night, and gave a copy to her sister-in-law to help distribute to each table.
Someone looked at the list curiously, and when they saw the herbal facial mask, they asked suspiciously, "What good can a herbal facial mask do?"
Yu Ying said, "It depends on the requirements. Some are for beautifying the skin, some for treating freckles, and some for treating facial sores and alcohol acne."
Facial acne is acne.
After hearing her words, everyone's eyes fell on Yu Ying's face. Some people thought that it was a bit presumptuous of her to treat such a big spot on her face.
But Madam Chen had seen Yu Ying a month ago, so when she heard what she said, she took a closer look at Yu Ying's face and exclaimed in surprise, "Madam Yu's spots look much lighter than they were a month ago!"
Yu Ying said calmly, "I didn't have time to take care of it before, but now I've started to take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen instantly became interested: "Then please make an appointment for me to have this herbal facial mask in advance, and I'll come over tomorrow afternoon."
A facial mask costs one hundred coins, and you can earn one hundred coins soon.
Yu Ying's smile deepened: "Okay, I'll write it down first."
Madam Zhou was also moved. The spots on Madam Yu's face were deliberately applied, or they were real, but it did not affect her tender skin. Even her sister-in-law, who was said to have been working in a mining field for almost three years, must have had a rough face from being exposed to the wind and sun, but at a glance, her face was in perfect condition and even better than those of ordinary women.
I secretly glanced at the price.
Well, it's within the range she can accept.
Madam Zhou also spoke up: "Since Madam Chen is coming tomorrow afternoon, I'll come in the morning."
Looking at Madam Yu, he said, "I've made reservations in advance as well."
Yu Ying smiled and replied, "Then I'll remember that. I'll be waiting for you two ladies tomorrow."
Madam Zhou and Madam Chen both took the lead, and among the women who had asked Yu Ying to visit them at home for medical treatment, two of them made reservations for the next two days.
Yu Ying was the host and had to entertain the guests. Besides, the second floor was full of familiar nobles, so there was no need for her to warm up the atmosphere. So she went downstairs to entertain other guests as well.
When the plaque was almost unveiled, Fu Wei and Fu Zhen came over after leaving their shift.
When the women saw Fu Wei's appearance, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
Yu County is a small place, and there has never been such a handsome and extraordinary man. Even if he is a disabled person, his appearance and demeanor can completely overshadow those healthy men.
When the little girl saw Fu Muliao smiling at Madam Yu, she was even more stunned.
Fu Wei looked at Yu Ying and saw that her beautiful eyes were curved. He was also infected by her and smiled gently: "So happy?"
Yu Ying bent down and whispered to him, "Four ladies just made reservations in advance, one hundred coins each."
How can I not be happy when people are supporting my business as soon as I open my shop?
Fu Wei looked at her smiling face and a smile also appeared on his lips.
The handsome man had a smile on his face that was as refreshing as spring breeze. The young girls who were just beginning to fall in love blushed and completely forgot that the man had a crippled leg.
It was only after Yu Ying took off the red cloth that she heard her sister-in-law say that many girls and ladies were staring at her second brother.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying secretly paid attention. As expected, she found that many girls were staring at Fu Wei. Perhaps because they were peeking at him, or because there were some ripples in their hearts, their cheeks flushed and their eyes were filled with waves.
Although she knew that everyone loves beauty, Yu Ying still felt a little uncomfortable.
Retracting her gaze, Yu Ying lowered her head and whispered to Fu Wei, "I won't let you come next time."
Fu Wei's smile paused when he heard this, and he looked at her in confusion: "Why?"
Yu Ying: "You're so attractive." After thinking for a moment, she realized it was something a husband would say to his young wife, so she changed her words: "You're so pretty that even if you're sitting in a plain carriage, you'll attract attention. Since you came here, I wonder how many girls have been staring at you."
Fu Wei was stunned for a moment, then realized, is Ah Ying jealous?
Thinking of this, he finally saw that Ah Ying was jealous, and joy quietly blossomed in his heart.
A smile appeared on Fu Wei's face.
Yu Ying saw the corners of his lips slightly raised, his brows warm and clear, and his gentle and affectionate smile, which made her admire him.
Fu Wei's smile was really pleasing to the eye - no, she didn't want to appreciate his smile, why did he smile so beautifully?
She suppressed her admiring expression and glanced around. Sure enough, she saw someone looking at Fu Wei in amazement. She hurriedly reminded him, "Don't laugh. If you laugh again, you'll steal the girl's soul."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wei immediately pursed his lips and maintained his usual polite smile, but his black eyes were full of joy.
When the plaque was removed, Yu Ying looked at the sign that was familiar but not the one she had seen for more than twenty years. But no matter what, she felt a little comforted in her heart.
She came to this world alone. After a whole year, she finally saw familiar things here and had her own clinic. She would continue to do what she liked in this world.
There is no doubt that my heart is filled with joy.
She looked at Fu Wei standing beside her and smiled gently.
She used to be wavering, but now her heart should be settled.
Maybe I will never be able to go back, or maybe I will go back one day.
No matter which situation it was, she didn't want to live in vain anymore, nor did she want to have any regrets during this period of time.
*
After unveiling the plaque, everyone was invited to a nearby restaurant for an opening banquet.
Fu Wei and Fu Zhen asked for half an hour's leave and went back after eating.
After this meal, there was another one in the evening. Fu Wei was working in the yamen, so although she was not there, interpersonal communication was naturally necessary.
She needed the government's support to open her clinic, so she had to take risks and deal with them.
Since the two of them can complement each other, they will not take care of themselves.
After the shift was over in the afternoon, the yamen runners all came to Yu Ying's clinic to congratulate her.
After the congratulations, they went to the restaurant for a meal.
Since they were all grown men, Yu Ying congratulated everyone, had dinner, and then went home.
After taking a bath, she didn't know when Fu Wei and her elder brother would come back, so she asked her elder sister-in-law to warm the water for her.
After a busy month, Yu Ying got up so early today and was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed. She didn't even know when Fu Wei would come back.
It was not until dawn that I saw the person sleeping soundly next to me.
Even though he had washed up, there was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body in the morning.
Yu Ying half-supported her body, supported her chin and looked carefully at Fu Wei's eyebrows, nose bridge and thin lips.
When I was in high school and college, I always loved staying up late to read novels. When I saw the descriptions of gentle characters in white clothes in the novels, I always had fantasies and imagined what the handsome and elegant men in ancient times looked like.
But now, looking at Fu Wei, she felt that the gentle gentleman in the novel had a face.
Fu Wei is a gentleman from the inside out, not a hypocrite in gentleman's clothing.
A gentleman who gradually made her fall in love with him.
As if possessed by a ghost, Yu Ying lowered her head and gently pecked Fu Wei's lips. The next moment, Fu Wei opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise.
Yu Ying: ...
The male protagonists in novels all pretend to be asleep, and the emotional crisis is no exception.
Fu Wei suddenly laughed, his voice hoarse from a hangover: "Why don't you continue kissing?"
Yu Ying rolled her eyes at him, and just as she was about to lie down for another nap, Fu Wei stretched out his arms and embraced her. Looking at the ceiling, his chest trembled with laughter, he said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Ying, I'm very happy."
——I’m glad that your love for me is growing deeper day by day.
A smile flashed in Yu Ying's eyes as she said, "I just kissed you, look how happy you are."
Fu Wei smiled and replied, "How can I not be happy when my beloved and I are in love with each other?"
At the end of his words, he said: "I am becoming more and more dissatisfied. I can't help but want to be with you, and I also want to marry you and grow old with you."
"Then let's get married."
Fu Wei sighed and was about to say something when he seemed to realize what she had said and his body suddenly stiffened.
He lowered his head stiffly and looked at her with hesitation in his eyes.
——Did he hear it right?
But no.
Yu Ying smiled at Fu Wei, her eyes bright and her teeth white, shining like the sun.
"I say, since you want to get married, let's get married."
In the near future, the world will be in turmoil and no one knows what will happen. Since they are already together, they might as well get married when the country is at peace to avoid regrets.
