Chapter 11 Giving birth is a physical job. This nobleman is better than he thought...
In the room, Xie Yushu was sitting upright on a chair waiting. When he saw the miracle doctor come in, he stood up and prepared to salute.
Pei Yixue put his hands behind his back and said, "No need to be polite or restrained."
His voice was hoarse and haggard, like that of an old man in his sixties or seventies. No one could have guessed that the man beneath the robe was a young boy of only twenty years old.
Not long after he came in, a waiter from the pharmacy brought in the boiled medicine soup, and another three or two waiters brought in wooden barrels filled with dark brown water that gave off a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Pei Yixue asked Xie Yushu to drink the medicine, take off his clothes and soak in the bathtub, then turned around and lit some medicinal incense in the room.
White smoke wafts out of the incense burner, bringing with it a unique aroma that makes people relax and happy.
Hearing the sound of someone entering the water behind him, he turned around. The other person's white skin hit his eyes, causing quite a shock to him.
He immediately looked away, but his eyes unconsciously glanced over there again.
Xie Yushu's overall appearance deviates from the delicate beauty of Shuang'er that this world pursues, but it is very much in line with Pei Yixue's aesthetic.
Heroic eyebrows, a sharp jawline, and a prominent Adam's apple.
The arms, chest and abdomen are covered with tendon meat, which symbolizes strength.
Pei Yixue couldn't help but think of Xie Yushu trying hard to restrain his lust, biting his lips and looking ashamed.
His throat suddenly became extremely dry and he swallowed subconsciously. After a while, he felt a foreign object slowly falling under his nose.
His eyes suddenly widened and he turned around immediately.
He couldn't believe that he could actually see a nosebleed while looking at a human body.
He had seen thousands of bodies, if not tens of thousands, of all kinds, including Xie Yushu's.
But before, these human bodies were nothing more than pieces of pork in his eyes.
Today, he was indeed a little out of shape.
Pei Yixue said with a nasal tone, "Young Master, please stay here first. I have something else to do. I'll be back soon."
He hurried away to clean up.
After about a cup of tea, he adjusted his mentality and returned to the room to give acupuncture to Xie Yushu.
Pei Yixue erased the image of Xie Yushu from his mind and treated this man just like the others.
The whole process went smoothly.
After taking the needle, he handed the patient a prescription and said, "Take it once a day and you will recover in seven days."
When Xie Yushu heard this, a ripple finally appeared in his calm eyes, a mixture of joy and disbelief.
Pei Yixue curled the corners of his mouth under the mask, then hurried to another room to change into his clothes.
After getting dressed and walking to the corridor, Xie Yushu was just opening the door and coming out.
Pei Yixue smiled, "Ashu, how is it?"
Xie Yushu smiled back at him and gestured to him the words "miracle doctor". A hint of joy could be seen in each gesture.
"Well, congratulations, Ah Shu." Pei Yixue said, "What does Ah Shu want to do after he recovers?"
The air seemed silent for a moment.
Xie Yushu was silent for a moment and said that he would go to take part in the county examination.
Pei Yixue stood there in a daze.
It turns out that what Xie Yushu said in the dilapidated temple that day was true.
This man really wants to be an official.
The corresponding condition of being an official is that one cannot marry, but can only have wives.
It seems that he has one more goal.
If Xie Yushu wants to be an official, then he can do it, but as for getting married, don't even think about it.
I can only marry him.
It is difficult to change the rules of a feudal superior, but it is not that difficult.
Thinking of this, Pei Yixue's ambition was inadvertently revealed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his disdain for being determined to win.
It only took him a second to come back to his senses.
He raised his eyes to look at Xie Yushu, who was looking at him strangely.
"Cough cough..." Pei Yixue hurriedly grabbed the person's arm, looking weak and powerless, and coughed continuously.
Xie Yushu didn't care about Pei Yixue's strange behavior just now, and asked about the results of his consultation with the miracle doctor.
Pei Yixue said: "The miracle doctor said that there is no cure for the moment, but if you take good care of yourself, your life will not be in danger."
Seven days later, Xie Yushu's voice returned to normal as expected, and the entire Wang family ancestral home was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After being happy, Grandmother Xie held her grandson’s hand and wiped away tears, “This God…finally opened his eyes for once.”
"That old man at the Liming Pharmacy is indeed quite capable." Chang Feng looked at Pei Yixue: "But even the 'miracle doctor' can't cure your disease, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life!
Alas, you are so weak that you may not even be able to marry and have children. After all, having children is a physically demanding job.”
When talking about childbirth, Chang Feng spoke in a joking manner and emphasized his words, fearing that others would not hear what he meant.
Li glared: "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. My son will have good fortune."
Chang Feng still had a nasty smile on his face, and said shamelessly: "Don't be angry, Auntie, I am worried about him too."
"Hmph!" Li didn't say anything to him and turned around to comfort Pei Yixue.
The house fell into silence.
When Xie Yushu told them that he would take part in the county exam in March, everyone in the room went wild again.
"What?! You are going to be an official, then my family..." Li glanced at Pei Yixue, hesitated to speak, and then looked at Grandmother Xie for a long time.
They have all known what Pei Yixue meant to Xie Yushu for such a long time.
Although Xie Yushu's body size is not enough for Pei Yixue, who has to gasp for air after walking two steps, even a normal man may not be able to bear it.
But they saw that the two of them didn't have too many problems getting along with each other, and thought that they would be able to get married soon.
But now it seems that it was all Pei Yixue's wishful thinking.
Pei Yixue didn't know what everyone was thinking, but he already had a plan in mind for Xie Yushu's desire to take the imperial examination.
Since Xie Yushu wants to take the imperial examination, then she can go, but she still has to marry him.
He smiled a sincere and beautiful smile and said to Xie Yushu: "Whatever Ah Shu wants to do, I will support Ah Shu."
Chang Feng didn't know what he wanted to say originally. After hearing these words, he turned his head and stared at him for a long time before swallowing the words back.
There was only more than two months left. In order to catch up with the progress of others, Xie Yushu only slept for two hours a day. Apart from eating and sleeping, he almost always immersed himself in books.
Seeing this, Pei Yixue didn't dare to stick to him like he used to. The time when he delivered water and food became his only chance to see Xie Yushu.
As for the pharmacy, things have been going wrong recently.
The reputation of the miracle doctor is well-known. People who have some money or power will specifically ask the miracle doctor to treat their illnesses, no matter how big or small, and are not satisfied with the doctors sitting in the pharmacy.
What's worse, some people rely on their money and power to ask miracle doctors to come to their homes to treat them personally, and they put on airs.
Asking Pei Yixue to visit patients at home has become a way for these people to flatter themselves.
"Don't be so shameless. It's your blessing to be able to come to our house for treatment. What Liming Pharmacy? Our master can make you unable to stay in Qingzhou with just one word. Think carefully."
The Yan family had sent people several times to call Pei Yixue to come over to treat Old Madam Yan. The servant who was sent for the fourth time had already decided to completely break off with Pei Yixue, the miracle doctor.
A month ago, the Yan family came to Liming Pharmacy for the first time to call for people. It was said that Old Madam Yan accidentally caught a cold, and wanted Pei Yixue to go with her to Qingzhou City to check it out.
Pei Yixue was really amused at that time. There were many doctors in Qingzhou City who could cure a cold. Moreover, it took four or five days to drive from Qingzhou City to Xitang County. This was without any delay.
If he is asked to rush over from Xitang County, I'm afraid Old Madam Yan won't be able to survive until that time.
The Yan family is like this. The treatment is fake, and it is more about satisfying the rich people's evil taste and vanity.
Pei Yixue is not a mean person, how could he possibly be a plaything?
The Yan family runs a jewelry business and is the richest man in Qingzhou. Even the prefect of Qingzhou has to give the Yan family some face. Now that they have been rejected by a doctor who has just risen to power, how can they let it go?
The old lady who had caught a cold might have already recovered, but the Yan family still insisted on having Pei Yixue come to the clinic for treatment just to save their pride.
Not only did they want Pei Yixue to come in person, but he also had to come in a humble manner. It would be best if he could go to Yan's house and apologize like a dog crawling on the ground.
This matter was known to everyone in the surrounding area, and many people were waiting to make fun of Pei Yixue. Just as noble as she had been when she rejected the Yan family before, she had to be as humble and lowly now.
The shouting of Yan's servant outside could be heard intermittently. Inside the room, Pei Yixue calmly took the patient's pulse.
He said to the person sitting across from him, "Young Master, your health has been poor for a long time. Follow the original prescription to take care of yourself. Don't overwork or worry too much. In the next two months, you must insist on taking a medicinal bath here every three days, combined with acupuncture."
"Thank you, miracle doctor. Cough cough..." The young man opposite raised his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly. His every move revealed his dignity and upbringing.
Compared with Pei Yixue, the one in front of him is a real sickly person.
There was an indelible weariness between her picturesque eyebrows, and the light blue robe she wore made her look even more broken.
She was a beauty. Pei Yixue saw it and suddenly understood the loving look that Xie Yushu showed when he looked at him.
So this is how it feels.
However, Pei Yixue still prefers a stronger body. Those strong arms and chest can arouse his desire more. It is a desire to conquer that makes his scalp tingle at the thought of it.
He was thinking to himself, but he did not forget to reply, "It is a doctor's job to practice medicine, you don't need to worry about it." Besides, when opening a clinic for business, the money and goods are exchanged in full.
"No matter what, if Doctor Xu can cure me, he will be doing me a favor, otherwise I won't live for more than two years." Pei Yixue didn't take it seriously, but the young man in blue was sincerely grateful.
He had been suffering from this stubborn disease since childhood. He had consulted many miracle doctors in various places but none of them could cure it. He originally came to Xitang County just to give it a try, but unexpectedly it gave him some hope.
"My lord, a lucky man is blessed by heaven."
When he was in a good mood, Pei Yixue was also happy to say some nice compliments.
Moreover, the patient in front of him did not reveal any identity information from beginning to end, but the word "expensive" could not be hidden at all, and he had no reason to offend anyone actively.
"Are you a lucky person? Then I'll take advantage of the good words from the miracle doctor." The young man was supported by the servant and stood up to say goodbye.
Watching them leave, Pei Yixue thought it was time for him to change his clothes and go home.
He stood up, but the nobleman who was walking to the door suddenly stopped, turned his head and smiled at him.
At that moment, even the beautiful red peony pales in comparison.
"Dr. Xu has done immeasurable merits in practicing medicine and saving lives. He will surely be blessed with great fortune. You don't have to worry about Qingzhou Yan family's doctor." After the young master finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
Staring at the man's leaving back, Pei Yixue seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that this noble man was even more "noble" than he had imagined.
