Jiang Ling immediately saw He Zui sitting in the corner far away from the gate.
In his arms was a large wooden box, wrapped in two layers of old cloth, and he held it tightly as a treasure.
He was exhausted from traveling all night, and coupled with his bad mood, he didn't look very good.
Not to mention his messy hair and dirty robes.
Jiang Ling looked at his stubborn and irritable face and couldn't help but smile.
"Doctor He!"
Her joyful cheers attracted He Zui. Seeing him looking over, Jiang Ling walked quickly over there.
He Zui glanced at her, his face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Why are you walking so fast? You'll be quiet after you fall."
As he said that, he stood up and walked over with the box in his arms.
Jiang Ling obediently slowed down her pace and smiled, "Long time no see, did you miss me, Doctor He?"
He Zui snorted lightly and said nothing.
It was only then that Jiang Ling realized that there were several people standing nearby.
There was Xia Zhixian's maid Juhua, Jiang Lan's personal maid, and even Zhou Ke and Zhou Huaixin's close servants came over.
He stood aside, feeling somewhat at a loss, and looked at Jiang Ling in embarrassment.
Juhua stepped forward and bowed, "Young Madam, the old lady and the lady would like to invite Doctor He into the house, but..."
Jiang Ling glanced at He Zui, who turned his face away without saying a word.
You don't want to go in, right?
He Zui cured Zhou Jing'an of the poison, so he refused to accept the emperor's summons or rewards, let alone enter the Zhou Mansion, let alone other people.
Xia Zhixian and Jiang Lan had sent many things over before, but without exception, they were all returned intact.
Later, Zhou Jing'an talked about He Zui's rules for curing illnesses and saving lives, and said that he would repay his kindness according to his wishes. After much persuasion, several people gave up their plan to go up the mountain to express their gratitude.
Otherwise, given He Zui's temper, he would probably feel uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Ling glanced at Juhua and told her to stay calm.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Doctor He, please come into the mansion and sit down, change your clothes and have a meal, don't catch a cold again."
He Zui curled his lips and said, "I'm not going."
The people nearby all looked embarrassed and looked at Jiang Ling for help.
Jiang Ling looked at He Zui and found that his hands, which were holding the wooden box, were subconsciously fingering the edge of the box, and she understood.
He Zui really disliked the capital, but based on Jiang Ling's observation of him, he was not opposed to the Zhou family, otherwise he would not have detoxified Zhou Jing'an.
Looking at the subtle helplessness and confusion in his eyes, I was afraid that he had lived in the sparsely populated Yunwu Peak for many years and suddenly came to the capital, so he might not be used to it.
He Zui was not unwilling to enter the mansion, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
Jiang Ling was just about to ask Juhua and the others to go back and report first when she saw Zhou Ke, Jiang Lan and Xia Zhixian coming out, followed by Zhou Huanan.
Then she clearly saw that the panic in He Zui's eyes was even greater.
Jiang Ling hurried forward. Several people had already invited him to go in and rest with a friendly face. He Zui stood there motionless, a little hesitant, his lips trembling, but he didn't know what to say.
The scene was a little stagnant for a moment.
Jiang Ling said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mother, Doctor He must be tired from the journey. How about I take him to the inn to rest first?"
Jiang Lan waved her hand in disapproval, "That won't do. Now that we're at home, we should stay at home."
Jiang Ling stepped forward and took her arm, taking the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear, then stood up and insisted, "Grandma, you should go back first. I will entertain Doctor He."
He winked at Zhou Ke and Xia Zhixian.
Jiang Lan was silent for a moment, then relaxed, "Okay, then I must invite Doctor He to get together someday."
Jiang Ling coaxed a few people back and quietly observed He Zui, and found that the discomfort in his eyes had dissipated a lot.
She smiled and said, "Doctor He, let's go. I'll take you to have a good rest first, and then take you out to play."
He Zui looked unnatural and said coldly, "Where is the small courtyard you mentioned?"
Then he pulled out a piece of paper from the medical book in the box and snorted, "Don't worry about me, I can find it myself."
