So dull
"Brother, are you really going?" The sunlight from afar was dazzling. Fu Mingyue squinted her eyes and stood beside the carriage at the door of the mansion.
"You've asked me this four times today." Fu Chang'an put his hands on his hips and stared at his sister, who couldn't open her eyes. Once for breakfast, once to pay respects to grandmother, once to leave the mansion, and now again.
My ears are almost callused from listening to it so much.
Although they were there to cure illnesses and save lives, that place of brothels was full of all kinds of people, so how could he let two girls go there without worry?
He jumped directly onto the car, put the medicine box away, and then reached out to Su Yunwei who was under the car.
The woman looked up when she saw his hand, and what caught her eye was a handsome face with a smile on his face. He was leaning against the sunlight, a little dazed.
Su Yunwei stretched out his hand without hesitation, clenched it tightly, and used the force to move forward.
Fu Mingyue followed closely behind, and just as she was about to reach out her hand, she heard the anxious footsteps and familiar rough voices of several people behind her.
"Is the carriage ready?"
Fu Li and Du Yinyin hurried over. Fu Mingyue turned around in confusion and saw two maids holding bundles.
Fu Mingyue blurted out, "Father, are you and Mother going out for a trip?"
Fu Li paused when he heard this. Seeing that she looked like she was about to go out again, he frowned and said, "What kind of lady is like you? You're always out and about! Go back to your room and embroider your flowers when you have time."
As soon as the words fell, Fu Mingyue's originally lovely face disappeared instantly. Like a kitten with its fur blown to pieces, she excitedly retorted: "Which father is like you, so old, and still has a beautiful girl by his side?"
Fu Li was about to lecture this outspoken and rebellious girl when his sleeve was tugged. He raised his eyelids slightly and saw Du Yinyin's pleading eyes. He shook his head slightly. He sighed helplessly, stood there and coughed a few times, then said to Fu Mingyue, "Go home early."
As soon as he said that, he glanced at Fu Changan and Su Yunwei in the car behind Fu Mingyue. He felt relieved and said, "Changan and Doctor Su are going too, then you guys... have fun to your heart's content."
After saying this, he and Du Yinyin turned around and walked towards the harnessed carriage, completely ignoring Fu Mingyue who was making an aggressive move behind them.
He looked down at his outfit and quietly exerted force with his arms. He was at an age when he was strong and healthy, so how could he be old?
·····
The simple and low-key carriage was moving in the wind, with two silent sand bells hanging in front of the door, swaying gently from side to side as the carriage moved.
Fu Mingyue sat in the car, her face still puffed with anger. She said, "Why wouldn't I want to attend the gathering of the city's young ladies? Isn't it because they always tease my father and mother behind their backs? But what they say is the truth, so I can't get angry."
"What did they say?" Su Yun asked, leaning against the car wall.
Fu Mingyue sneered, "What else can I say? My father is quite old, yet he has a delicate bride by his side. I guess he must have relied on his status to forcibly pluck this budding flower."
Isn't it common for an old man to have a young wife in their time? Su Yunwei added, "Your father doesn't look that old either."
Fu Mingyue: "My new mother was only eighteen when she came into the family. She is only thirty-three this year, while my father is already fifty."
"Fifty years old!" She sighed. "If my father had had a child earlier, I'm afraid he would have had a new mother. This is like a new branch sprouting from an old tree."
Fu Changan was sitting on the side, pretending to sleep with his eyes closed. Upon hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes and frowned, saying, "Fu Mingyue!!!"
She had been taught by her aunt in the palace since she was little, yet how could she still be so careless in her words? What a pity! What a pity!
He sighed softly, but Su Yunwei disagreed. She said, "When it comes to relationships, the most important thing is that two people treat each other sincerely. I see that your father and your stepmother get along well. Why should you take the gossip of outsiders to heart?"
"Weiwei is so understanding of love." Fu Mingyue's eyes were cunning. "I'm afraid she already has her ideal husband."
After she finished speaking, Fu Mingyue realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly covered her mouth, looking at Su Yunwei with eyes full of apology. She thought: If Weiwei has someone she likes in her heart, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
Su Yunwei didn't care about it at all. Since things couldn't be changed, she could only accept them.
A day of sadness is a day of joy. Why not face this impermanence of life with a smile?
No one knows what the days will be like after waking up. Maybe... you will never wake up again.
"I don't have an ideal husband, but I do have a bachelor who has been around for a thousand years." Su Yun smiled faintly.
"Then... do you need me to help you find a partner in marriage?" Fu Mingyue's eyes lit up in vain. She did know several wealthy men with good character and good looks.
"Then I have high expectations."
"Tell me, I want to hear it." Fu Mingyue leaned forward slightly and stared at her intently.
Fu Changan sat on the side in silence, but his ears were nervously waiting for her answer.
"I like... rich and good-looking ones."
Fu Mingyue listened and nodded hurriedly. Although her friends were not as handsome as her brother, nor as rich as her family, they were still among the best in the capital.
Su Yunwei added: "He has to be nice to me, dote on me, but also listen to me, be gentle, considerate and responsible, and keep a distance from other girls. Most importantly, he can only love me in this life."
Fu Mingyue was a little hesitant when she heard this. She had never seen a family in the city that didn't have a concubine, except for her father, who only had one wife for his entire life.
Even I have wondered whether Kuang Ye will love me forever?
His body leaned back against the wall of the carriage, swaying slightly as the carriage swayed.
She pouted and said listlessly, "Such a perfect match is hard to find even after searching everywhere, and it's even harder to get it without any effort."
Su Yunwei smiled gently and just let things take their course. Even if she didn't have a suitable partner, she could live happily alone. Why bother finding a rotten cucumber to make herself unhappy?
However, Fu Changan, who pretended not to care, had a subtle glimmer in his eyes. Her conditions...
He looked at Su Yunwei's profile, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
The carriage moved forward unhindered, and accompanied by a gentle breeze, it drove into the quiet and lonely Lushi Lane.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of Zuichun Pavilion.
Zhang Sheng, who was driving the carriage in front, was visiting such a Longyang Pavilion for the first time in his life. He was quite curious. After the owners of the carriage got off, he also looked around.
Seeing this, Fu Changan said coldly, "Mr. Zhang?"
"Young Master." Zhang Sheng's back tightened, and he quickly bowed in response. But before he could wait for the next word, Zhang Sheng timidly looked up, and the door was already empty.
····
Gently pushing open the heavy wooden door, the first ray of sunlight of the day entered the dim room, and the dust swirled and danced around the light.
Several people walked into the compartment quietly. The servant waiting beside the bed was dozing with his head down. As if he felt them coming in, the servant suddenly woke up. He got up hurriedly, and Su Yunwei made a gesture to keep quiet.
The servant nodded in panic and several people moved forward. The man lying on the bed was sleeping soundly with even breathing, his face no longer haggard.
Su Yunwei immediately leaned over to check her pulse and breathing.
Next, he opened the medicine box, took out the medicine and infusion set prepared last night, skillfully expelled the air, disinfected the back of Mingzhao's hand, tied a tourniquet, found the puncture site, and inserted the needle.
However, Fu Changan was shocked by the scene before him. He hurried forward to check, wondering if he was seeing things.
But the object in Su Yunwei's hand was as small as a silver needle, or perhaps it was a witchcraft instrument.
The gaze he cast upon Su Yunwei was dim and dark, and his emotions could not be discerned.
The unique method and decisiveness she used when treating her grandmother suddenly flashed through her mind. Although she was puzzled at the moment, she still restrained herself.
He glanced at Fu Mingyue beside him and saw that she looked calm. It was obvious that she had been treating the boy from the Lin family in this way for these days.
The blood returned, and Su Yunwei quickly fixed it with tape and turned on the switch of the medicine. The hope symbolizing life slowly flowed to Ming Zhao again.
Fu Changan looked up at the glass bottle hanging upside down on the hook.
The more confused I felt, how could this thing hang upside down?
Looking down, I saw drops of clear water falling from the transparent serpentine tube, flowing along the pipe all the way to...
The back of the hand of that kid from the Lin family?
How could that silver needle as thin as a hair carry such a torrent of water?
Fu Changan reached out his hand in confusion, unconsciously stroking the cold infusion tube.
It's soft!!
His eyes suddenly tightened: "What is this?"
"Infusion pump."
"What's the use?"
"Here is the medicine to save Mingzhao." Su Yunwei said leisurely as he sat beside the bed.
Fu Chang'an's pupils trembled upon hearing this. The world was vast, and nothing was impossible. He had long witnessed Doctor Su's extraordinary medical treatments, and now this method of infusing herbal medicine was truly eye-opening. This was truly a marvel.
"In the past, I only knew that decoctions could be taken orally. Today, after seeing this, I realized that there is another mysterious medical way in this world."
Su Yun smiled faintly. There were still many mysteries that he had not seen.
This is nothing.
"How long does it take to administer this medicine?"
"It may take a few days!" Su Yunwei replied.
Fu Changan nodded, then raised his head and looked at this magical device.
Su Yunwei sat on one side, with a smile in her eyes, looking at him with an extremely serious look.
There is only one voice in my heart shouting
Then go... He is so stupid!!!
While Fu Changan was still astonished by this mysterious medical skill, Fu Li's carriage had just left the city and was swaying on the rugged mountain road.
Land and housing prices in the capital are very high, and unless you are from a noble family, there is no place to live.
Most ordinary officials chose to rent houses while they were in office, and Du Yinyin's father was no exception. When he retired, he chose to buy a simple house far away from the capital.
"Xuzhou has been in the business world for years! Why hasn't he bought a house in the capital for his father-in-law?" Fu Li leaned against the side of the car and asked Du Yinyin in confusion. Du Xuzhou was his brother-in-law, a renowned medicine merchant in Jiangnan, making a fortune. While a mansion in the capital was expensive, it should be easy for him to afford.
Du Yinyin sighed softly upon hearing this. "Let's talk about it. Xuzhou already bought a six-story courtyard house on Chang Street. You know my father, he's a stubborn old man who would rather die than get his hands on that stinking copper money."
Fu Li's expression faltered for a moment, then he burst into laughter and said, "I never thought my father-in-law, a mere official like Bao Zhangzheng, could be so honest."
Living on that meager salary every month, it's no wonder Yinyin would rather break up with him and marry me, a widower with two children.
