Chapter 54 One wrong step, all wrong steps
Song Zijin was in a very good mood and started humming a song as soon as he got up early in the morning.
Snowball came to beg for food, and after she fed it, she played with it for a long time.
Fu Yue narrowed her eyes, "Girl, there's something wrong with you!"
Song Zijin said coquettishly: "I finally get to go to the clinic today, I'm happy."
I've never been so happy when I went to the clinic before?
Fu Yue concluded that something must have happened when he entered the palace yesterday.
In the past, the girl told her everything, but this time she kept silent. No need to guess, it must be related to the prince.
When the two arrived at the clinic, they found that there were many people getting medicine at the counter.
Qian Bo said excitedly, "The news of you saving people a few days ago has spread. Many people have come to get medicine these days, and some are waiting for you to see them!"
When Song Zijin heard this, he hurried to the back hall, changed his clothes and started seeing patients.
I was busy all day and saw five patients, most of whom had chronic illnesses.
If the condition was not serious, Song Zijin would give acupuncture on the spot. If the condition was serious, he would prescribe some medicine for the patient to take at home, and then decide whether to give acupuncture based on the situation.
After sending the last patient away, Fu Yue came over with a cup of hot tea, "Congratulations, sir, on finally opening your shop!"
Song Zijin was very proud, "From today on, your son can be called a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded!"
"Doctor Song is righteous!"
Song Zijin stroked his non-existent beard and laughed out loud.
At this time, Qian Bo knocked on the door and came in, "Sir, a gentleman has arrived. He said his surname is Wen."
Wen Yan is here?
"Please ask Mr. Qian to invite people here."
"good."
After a while, Wen Yan pushed the door open and came in with a food box in his hand.
"This is the water chestnut cake my mother made. It was your favorite."
"Thank you, Brother Yan." Song Zijin did not open it to take a look immediately.
Wen Yan sat across from her and tried to explain, "It was my father's decision to break off relations with the Song family last year. Mother was powerless to do anything about it. She had tried to persuade my father, but Zijin knew that my mother had no family and had always been walking on thin ice in the Wen family."
If it weren't for his son, the top scholar, my wife would have been demoted to a concubine long ago.
"Knowing I was coming to see you, she made this specially and told me to deliver it to you personally."
Song Zijin sighed.
In fact, Mrs. Wen was really good to her in the past, but she was not a saint and could not separate the entire Wen family.
Especially after she entered the Xiao Mansion, Madam Wen, as the wife of the Minister of Rites, could have used this status to come and see her, but Madam Wen did not.
Even though Mrs. Wen disagreed with Wen Kaiqing's approach, she chose to compromise with Wen Kaiqing in order for the Wen family to continue cultivating Wen Yan.
Perhaps it was because they had been so close in the past that it was harder for her to forgive him.
"I know what Madam Wen means, but it's already dinner time, so let's not eat cakes. I made a lot of money today, so please treat Brother Yan to a meal!"
Wen Yan nodded and agreed with her.
He knew Zijin best. Although she looked weak on the surface, she was actually very stubborn inside. It was unrealistic to expect him to seek forgiveness for his mother with a tray of pastries.
"But don't rush out. I have something to ask you first."
Song Zi's eyes dodged. "I know what Brother Yan wants to ask. This clinic is run by the prince, but he doesn't know my true identity. Besides, the prince and I help each other. There is no situation where he oppresses me. The prince is a good man."
Wen Yan was the only person besides the Song family who knew that she had studied medicine. He was very smart and when he saw her at the palace banquet that day, he must have guessed what had happened.
The only thing that is hard to guess is how disgusting Xiao Jin is in this.
Wen Yan clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves.
The last time they met, she said that she could help him with the affairs of the Xiao Mansion, which meant that she was still the mistress of the Xiao Mansion.
She dared to appear at the palace banquet in front of Xiao Jin, which meant that she appeared next to Xiao Linyuan with Xiao Jin's approval.
Just now she said that King Jinyue was a good man, so...
Was she sent by Xiao Jin to seduce King Jin Yue with her beauty, but ended up taking advantage of King Jin Yue by accident?
He had long heard the rumors about the relationship between the two Xiao families in the capital. It was really dangerous for her to be caught up in it!
King Jinyue may be a really good person, but he is now at the center of the vortex, and getting involved with him is not a good choice for Zijin.
"Do you want to leave the capital? I can help you." Wen Yan said in a hoarse voice.
"I will work hard in the Ministry of Personnel. Within three years, I will be able to find an opportunity to be transferred out again and take you away from here. By then, my salary will be enough to support you."
Song Zijin smiled and shook his head, "Not for now. I still owe the prince a favor and need to repay it. Thank you, Brother Yan."
After saying that, he stood up and pulled Wen Yan out, "If we're any later, there won't be any good food to eat!"
Wen Yan felt bitter.
Is she really stupid, or is she unwilling to accept him?
If she had forcefully asked her father to go to the Song family to propose marriage three years ago, would she not have to survive in the cracks now?
One wrong step leads to another.
…
Song Zijin brought Wen Yan and Fu Yue to Tianxiang Pavilion.
It is said that this is the restaurant with the most dishes in the entire capital. Dishes from all over Dali can be customized, and you can taste delicacies from all over the country in one restaurant.
The only drawback is that it is expensive.
If it were in the past, Song Zijin would definitely not be willing to come, but from today on she is already a doctor, the significance is different, so she must celebrate properly.
At this hour, Tianxiang Pavilion was crowded, and the three of them were arranged to sit at a large table next to the aisle, sharing the table with three other people.
At this time, a woman in a fiery red suit came in from outside the door, with an exquisite sword on her waist, followed by a man in a red suit.
Song Zijin looked closely and saw that it was Huang Qiyue and Shen Zhuo.
In full view of everyone, Huang Qiuyue dragged Chen Zhuo upstairs, and Chen Zhuo looked like a bullied young wife.
Just as Song Zijin was about to laugh secretly, he was stared at by Huang Qiuyue who suddenly stopped.
She strode over, her black boots embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns stepping on the long wooden bench where Song Zijin was sitting.
The wings of her nose twitched, and she lifted Song Zijin's chin with her index finger. "Sir, please accompany this princess!"
When Wen Yan heard Huang Qiuyue's self-introduction, he immediately guessed this person's identity and stood up and bowed.
"Princess, I am Wen Yan, a doctor from the Ministry of Personnel. I am here with a friend and I have no intention of disturbing you."
The official position of the Ministry of Personnel is not high, but extremely important. If the princess is sensible, she will not have a hard time with the officials.
Wen Yan still didn't understand Huang Qiuyue. She was someone who didn't even care about Emperor Guangxi's face.
Huang Qiyue raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Wen Yan, "You have good taste. Compared to the prince, Lord Wen is also very handsome. Come together!"
This was a blatant statement. Wen Yan had never seen such a lustful woman before. He said calmly, "Princess, please respect yourself. The laws of Dali prohibit you from molesting decent women in the street!"
"Heh." Huang Qiyue sneered, "Don't you know who your Dali laws are truly serving?"
"Princess, you are wrong. We cannot deny the arrival of dawn just because of a little darkness."
Huang Qiyue was delighted, "Well done, this princess has high hopes for you."
After saying that, she looked at Song Zijin again and gave him a coquettish look.
"My dear, it's so crowded here. Why don't you come to the private room with me? If you can keep me company for a long time, I'll give you a white fox~"
Song Zijin heard that Huang Qiuyue recognized her.
She didn't want to go, but she couldn't resist Chen Zhuo's winking and pitiful look, which made her feel pity.
It's really strange. It takes her an incense stick of time to change her appearance every day. How come these two people recognized her so easily?
