Chapter 716: Secret Comparison

Having said that, Jiang Fubao couldn't refuse anymore. Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespecting him?

There is no hatred between the two.

She could only nod and agree.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll be busy first." She didn't even raise her head while speaking.

The woman sitting opposite her kept looking at Shen Hechi.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if he wished he could burn a hole in Shen Hechi's body.

"Okay, I'll go right away. What do you want to eat? Anyway, let me order some. I know what you like." Shen Hechi talked to himself, then turned and left, the joy on his face difficult to conceal.

"Little miracle doctor, is he the one who preached the fortune? He looks very much like him. How old is he?" When the woman saw him leave, she stuck her head out and asked Jiang Fubao quietly.

"Oh, you mean Mr. Shen. He looks like he's seventeen. What's wrong?" Jiang Fubao said indifferently.

"Seventeen? What an age! He's already a successful scholar at such a young age. Little miracle doctor, do you know if he's engaged?" the woman asked again, with a madly shining light in her eyes.

Jiang Fubao understood immediately that this was because he had taken a fancy to Shen Hechi.

The woman in front of him was an old customer of the clinic. She had pharyngitis that had never been cured, so she often came to her to get medicine. The two were very familiar with each other.

Jiang Fubao knew that she moved here from Chang'an Town. Her cousin from her mother's side was the county magistrate of Lin County. There were also officials in her husband's family. In terms of status, she was a match for Shen Hechi.

Although it's a bit low, it's fashionable here to marry lower and marry higher.

There are couples who are well-matched, but they are rare.

"I don't know, you can go ask." Jiang Fubao didn't want to get involved, she pretended to be stupid. The woman was a little unhappy, but she didn't dare to say it.

If she offended Jiang Fubao, what would she do with her pharyngitis?

The symptoms were relieved by the medicine prescribed by Jiang Fubao.

Otherwise, if you eat something wrong, you will feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep.

In addition, her youngest son was studying at Sanshan School, so she couldn't afford to offend the headmaster's godson's granddaughter.

"Okay, I'll go ask around some other day. Little doctor, have you written the prescription? I have something else to do later, so don't delay me."

The woman urged.

"Okay, go over there, pay the money and get the medicine." Jiang Fubao handed her the prescription.

Then Pan Erya next to me started calling out numbers. The stool was still warm, and the next patient sat down.

"Waiter, what dishes do you have in your restaurant? Tell me the names of the dishes." Shen Hechi came to a nearby restaurant that was doing good business, sat down, and said to the waiter standing beside him.

"Sir, we have a lot of dishes in our restaurant, at least 70 or 80. I am not capable of telling you all of them. What kind of flavors do you like? I'll show you the menu."

Xiao Wai has only been here for less than a month and hasn’t memorized the entire menu yet, he smiled apologetically.

"Forget it, just give me the menu." Shen Hechi was a little unhappy, but he didn't get angry. He took the menu and ordered all the sweet and spicy dishes on it.

Fubao loves sweet and spicy food.

Since the food had to be sent to the clinic and he had to bring the servants along, Shen Hechi ordered two servings of each dish, for a total of nineteen dishes.

Two portions each would make thirty-eight dishes.

The waiter was so scared that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Sir, is there a banquet in your house?" he asked curiously.

"Don't ask, just do it. How much is the total amount of silver? Well, I'll give you 100 taels. When the dishes are ready, send them to the Ren'ai Medical Clinic. The remaining silver will be given to the person in charge of delivering the dishes. Each of us will be rewarded with 1 tael."

Shen Hechi took out a silver bill from his sleeve, slapped it on the table, and left after saying that.

It came quickly and went away quickly, like a gust of wind.

The waiter finally came back to his senses.

"Boss, something bad has happened. Boss, come out quickly. There's a big sale going on." He shouted to the shopkeeper who was sitting in the backyard to enjoy the cool air.

And Shen Hechi has already returned along the same path.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the gate of Ren Ai Medical Clinic, he met Meng Bujiu who had just got off the carriage.

Both saw each other.

Their eyes met, and both of them were a little surprised.

No one spoke, as if they were comparing in secret.

"What are you doing? Come in and sit down. Why are you standing at the door like an idiot? Are you pretending to be sunflowers?"

The two stood there for a long time until Jiang Fubao noticed them.

She walked to the gate and looked at them in confusion, as if she were looking at fools.

"Fubao, the dishes have been ordered and will be delivered soon." Shen Hechi spoke first.

"Didn't you say you were going back to the village today? Why didn't you go back?" Meng Bujiu also spoke up.

"No hurry, it's not noon yet. I'm not hungry. I'm a bit busy today, so I'll go back tomorrow. You guys come in and sit down." Jiang Fubao answered one by one, and then called the two in.

Shen Hechi, who walked in later, tightened his lips into a straight line.

This Meng Bujiu is so familiar with Fubao that he even knows when she returns to the village.

Shen Hechi felt inexplicably unhappy, as if someone was targeting something that should have belonged to him.

Jiang Fubao was a little tired after being busy since morning. She asked Shao Siyou to take her place and took Meng Bujiu and Shen Hechi to the backyard.

There were two chairs under the shade of the tree. Jiang Fubao brought a bench and sat down on it.

Give the chairs to two people.

"Sit down, you're sweating all over your forehead. Why were you standing at the door just now? Were you afraid of disturbing me? Someone, pour two cups of cold tea and put some ice cubes in them. Don't drink hot tea." Jiang Fubao teased the two and shouted towards the kitchen.

After a while, the cook brought two cups of cold tea with a lot of ice cubes in it, both of which were cold.

Jiang Fubao didn't drink it. Her stomach was full of tea. If she drank any more, she might not be able to eat lunch.

"No, I was just a little surprised to see him come back." Meng Bujiu chuckled and took a sip of the cool tea.

Most of the heat in my body disappeared instantly.

The sweet and sour slightly bitter cold tea is delicious, and you can't make such a drink anywhere else.

Fubao is the most amazing.

He looked at Jiang Fubao with admiration.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that Brother Meng, such a busy man, would come here, so I was a little shocked." Shen Hechi also hurried to explain.

"Are you two kidding me? We are classmates, but you act like strangers." Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes at the two of them.

What she didn't notice was that with Meng Bujiu here, her attitude when speaking was completely different from before, as if she was a family member here, so she felt very comfortable.

"Since you're back, why didn't you send someone to tell me?" Meng Bujiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Hechi, with a hint of questioning in his voice.

"As Fubao said, we are classmates. I believe you understand my desire to return home, so I didn't make things awkward with you. Brother Meng, you are not angry, right? I apologize if I have offended you." Shen Hechi clasped his fists towards Meng Bujiu, but his eyes looked at Jiang Fubao standing beside him.

"Not really. Fubao is right. We are classmates. How can I be angry with you? However, I just heard from you that you ordered food at the restaurant? Then can I shamelessly stay and eat?"
