Yu Jiao smiled at him with her almond-shaped eyes bent, walked to the table, lowered her eyes and glanced at the article he wrote. Seeing that he wrote with a smooth and flowing hand, she sighed, "I don't know when I can write as beautifully as you."
Yu Qizhe had finished writing the article and said slowly, "Writing is not a one-day job. It only takes diligent practice."
He raised his bony hand, gently put down his pen, put away the article he had written, stood up and made room for Yu Jiao.
"You write yours, and I'll find a chair to occupy the corner of the table." Ever since Yu Jiao practiced calligraphy in Yu Qizhe's room, the desk in his room was given to her. Yu Jiao felt a little guilty about it. She was just practicing calligraphy, but Yu Qizhe was going to take the imperial examination to become an official. She knew which was more important.
Yu Qizhe was just about to take the book and sit on the couch to read, but when he heard what Yu Jiao said, he paused, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips, and he moved his chair to the side, making half of the table empty for Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao went to the main room, moved a chair, found the calligraphy that Yu Qizhe had written for her, spread out the rice paper, sat next to Yu Qizhe, and lowered her head to write.
Yu Qizhe glanced at her lowered face and was silent for a while before asking, "Why did you stay?"
Yu Jiao didn't quite hear it, so she looked up at him, "What?"
Yu Qizhe shook his head, retracted his gaze from her, and said with lowered eyes, "Nothing, just practice your calligraphy."
Yu Jiao narrowed her almond eyes, smiled and moved closer to him, "Fuling said you were reluctant to let me go and were very sad. Are you happy that I stayed?"
Yu Qizhe's heart was slightly moved, but he didn't show it on his face.
He had thought a lot just now. Yu Jiao had expressed her intention to leave the Yu family more than once. She had said that she would help him get well and help her leave after he passed the exam. Although she did not leave this time, what about the future?
She is different from other women. She can live well on her own without relying on anyone. What can the entire Yu family do to restrain her?
Seeing Yu Qizhe remained silent, Yu Jiao felt annoyed, "Forget it, I was just joking with you!"
Yu Qizhe raised his eyes to look at her, her figure reflected in his dark peach eyes, and he said seriously, "Yes, I'm very happy that you can stay."
Yu Jiao was not prepared for him to be so straightforward. She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Yu Qizhe's deep eyes. She looked away, grabbed the pen and buried her head in calligraphy, and said softly, "Then you must treat me better in the future."
"Okay." Yu Qizhe smiled silently.
The two men sat side by side at the desk, a pair of backs, one taller and one shorter, in blue shirts and plain skirts. From a distance they looked unusually coordinated; the only sound in the room could be heard was the rustling of paper and pen rubbing against each other.
This quiet time did not last long. In just a short while, Yu Jiao had become famous in Qingyu Village. Most doctors in the world were men, but now there was a female doctor with good medical skills like Yu Jiao. A widow named Li who suffered from gynecological disease at the end of the village was very attracted to her. She sneaked to Yu's door at night and wanted to ask Yu Jiao to see a doctor.
Yu Jiao had only written three pieces of calligraphy. When she heard someone was coming to see a doctor, she put down her pen and went to the main room.
Yu Zhou was talking to Widow Li. Seeing that Yu Ruhai was not in the main room, Yu Jiao did not care. She asked about Widow Li's symptoms, then took her into the herb room on the west side, closed the door, and looked at her affected private parts.
Widow Li blushed with shame. After Yu Jiao prescribed a medicinal soup for cleaning the affected area and some internal medicine, she paid the consultation fee and walked hurriedly towards the gate of Yu's courtyard with her head lowered, fearing that she would be seen by others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the hospital gate, she bumped into a man. Widow Li screamed in shock. She looked carefully and saw that it was Yu Hanshan, the third son of the Yu family. She shyly called him, "Third Brother."
After Mr. He left, Yu Hanshan was dragged away by the men in the village to drink. He was drunk at the moment and only felt that the woman in his arms was very soft.
Hearing the woman's timid voice again, he felt a little hot. He stared at Widow Li for a while, and said something with a smell of alcohol, "It's Xiu'e, what's the matter with you coming to my house so late?"
The man's breath hit her face. Li Xiu'e quickly stepped back and said hesitantly, "Nothing... I... I'll get some medicine. Third brother, I'll go home first."
She crossed Yu Han Mountain and walked quickly towards the end of the village.
Yu Hanshan stood there without moving, his eyes fixed on Li Xiu'e's departing figure.
Although Li Xiu'e is over 30 years old, she is middle-aged and looks quite charming. Her husband died of tuberculosis a year ago, and she has been living alone with her two children. When Yu Hanshan was hanging out at the wine table, he had heard some drunken men in the village mention her slim waist and plump hips, but now that he bumped into her in his arms, he realized how delicate and tender she was.
Zhao came to the yard to get some water and saw her husband standing stupidly at the gate. She didn't know what he was looking at. She walked to the gate and smelled the stench of alcohol on Yu Hanshan. "Who are you standing there looking at? How much alcohol did you drink?"
Yu Hanshan was startled and sobered up a bit. Seeing that Li Xiu'e had disappeared, he calmed down a little. He turned around and looked at Zhao, saying vaguely, "Pi Saner and his friends wanted to find out about the He family, so they forced me to drink a lot of wine. I'm standing here to get some fresh air."
"Come in quickly, Dad and Jinshu went to the city and haven't come back yet. I don't know if everything has been settled." Zhao stepped forward to support him, glanced at the road at the entrance of the village, and closed the gate.
"What are Dad and Jinshu doing in the city?" Yu Hanshan looked at Zhao's burly figure and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
Zhao helped him into the house and poured a cup of hot tea to Yu Hanshan's mouth. "Jinyan gave Dad an idea. She asked Dad to go to the county government office and put Meng Yujiao on the household register of the second house as their daughter."
"What a stupid idea!" Yu Hanshan was smart for once, and he shouted, "Even if she is the daughter of the second house, she still has to get married. Jinyan is really fooling around, and dad is also crazy, listening to his child."
"Keep your voice down!" Zhao couldn't bear to hear him talking about her son, so she muttered, "What do you mean by a bad idea? My indenture has been torn up, so Dad is worried. And Yu Qizhe, that sickly guy, can't have sex. I think Jinyan's idea is good. Since the girl's roots remain in our Yu family, we can prevent her from having bad intentions and hooking up with Jinyan again."
Yu Hanshan lay on the bed and snorted, "We shouldn't have stopped them in the first place. If that girl really became Jinyan's wife, all the medical fees she earned in the future would belong to our third room!"
"Shut up! How can that bitch be worthy of our Jinyan? I'm waiting for Jinyan to pass the imperial examination in the future so that I can find a lady from a prominent family to be my daughter-in-law!" Zhao took off Yu Hanshan's shoes and socks and covered him with a quilt.
Song prepared the meal, but because Yu Ruhai was not at home, Yu Zhou did not allow them to start eating, so they had to cover the food on the stove while the whole family, young and old, waited.
Yu Zhixing's daughter Xiao Jugend was very hungry, so Zhang stole two duck eggs, quietly entered the kitchen, put a bowl of sugar-water eggs on the stove, and brought them to feed the little girl.
At the end of Chen time, Yu Ruhai and Yu Jinshu rushed back from outside. Yu Ruhai's complexion was much better than before.
