Crack! Boom! Crash!
Deep in the night, lightning and thunder roared, ushering in the first heavy rain of summer. Raindrops fell along the eaves. Sanqiao held an umbrella and a lantern and walked towards Penglai Residence. Seeing that the lights in the house were on, she put away her umbrella, turned off the lights and went inside. She saw Hua Fushu curled up on the couch, hugging a soft pillow, "Girl, you really can't fall asleep."
She sat down beside the couch and looked at the lush flowers.
Hua Fushu lowered his eyes. "The rain is heavy and the thunder is loud. I can't sleep."
Sanqiao said, "Back when we were in Meixi, you couldn't sleep even when it rained heavily at night."
Hua Fushu said, "You said it's been ten days, and Ye Zelin hasn't arrived in Yuezhou yet. Why hasn't he written back to let his family know he's safe?"
Sanqiao couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Miss, are you missing your uncle?"
Hua Fushu nodded. "I really miss him. I wonder if he misses me."
Sanqiao hugged Hua Fushu and said, "Miss, I'm still waiting for you to make your son-in-law shoot himself in the foot."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "I'm not kidding, I will definitely be able to catch Ye Zelin!"
Sanqiao smiled and encouraged Hua Fushu. The sound of rain gradually subsided, and the master and servant both fell asleep.
The next day, Hua Fushu's injuries were basically healed. After staying in the general's mansion for more than ten days, he really couldn't stand it anymore. When the servants were not paying attention, he and Sanqiao sneaked out through the back door.
Sanqiao was afraid that Hua Fushu would go to the gambling house again, so she spoke up to persuade her not to go.
After Ye Zelin's earnest advice and the beating, Hua Fushu no longer had the heart to go to the casino. He took Sanqiao for a stroll on the street.
It was already noon. Sanqiao was carrying a lot of bags in her hands. Hua Fushu was also a little hungry. They were about to go to Lefeng Building to eat, but they saw a clinic recruiting doctors.
Hua Fushu looked at the sign of the clinic and saw four big words: Xinglin Clinic!
Xinglin Medical Clinic was opened by a doctor named Li Huaichun. Doctor Li was once a medical officer in the palace. He was expelled from the Imperial Hospital for offending a noble in the palace. He was the Doctor Li who treated Hua Fu that day.
As Hua Fushu walked into the clinic, a young man came forward and greeted her, "Madam, are you here to see a doctor or get some medicine?"
Hua Fushu looked around the clinic and said, "Aren't they hiring doctors? I'm here to apply."
The young man looked at Hua Fushu with suspicion, "Madam, are you kidding me?"
Hua Fushu asked him back, "Do you think I'm joking?"
The young man said, "I don't believe it. How could a girl want to be a doctor?"
Hua Fushu was about to speak when he heard someone calling the boy's name, "Awen."
The boy turned around and saw that it was his father, Doctor Li. "Dad."
Doctor Li approached and saw that the girl was Hua Fushu. He was surprised and said, "Young Madam." The young man Li Wen was puzzled and heard his father say, "You little brat, this is the Young Madam of the General's Mansion."
Li Wen bowed and apologized, but Hua Fushu just smiled and did not blame him.
Doctor Li asked Hua Fushu why he came, and Hua Fushu explained his purpose.
Doctor Li smiled and said, "Young Madam, the doctors I recruit must be truly talented and knowledgeable, not just fillers."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Doctor Li, why not test me to see if I have real talent or am just filling in the gaps?"
Doctor Li readily agreed and asked, "I have a sudden headache that feels like it's bursting, but it's neither a cold nor a stroke. How should I treat it?"
Hua Fushu said: "Take equal parts of Sophora flavescens, cinnamon, and Pinellia tuber, pound them, sieve them, mix them with bitter wine, and apply it to the pain, and it will heal."
Doctor Li was slightly startled, then continued, "Alcoholic jaundice is characterized by heart pain, fullness in the feet and shins, and yellow urine. Drinking alcohol can cause red, yellow, and black spots. It's caused by being too drunk and falling into water. How should it be treated?"
Hua Fushu replied, "The first recipe: 2 liang of Astragalus, 1 liang of Magnolia, grind them into powder, take with wine, and take three times a day. The second recipe: 1 liang of Rhubarb, 5 pieces of Citrus aurantium, 7 pieces of Gardenia, 6 he of Fermented Soya Beans, 6 liters of water, boil and take 2 liters, divided into three doses. The third recipe: Daphne daphne and Zanthoxylum bungeanum equal parts, burn and grind, take half a penny, once or twice a day."
Doctor Li asked a few more questions, and Hua Fushu answered them all and added a lot, which made Doctor Li very satisfied.
Doctor Li seemed to treat Hua Fushu as a close friend and started discussing acupuncture with Hua Fushu. However, it was already noon and Hua Fushu did not say much. She changed the subject and asked Doctor Li if he would like to recruit her as a doctor.
Doctor Li took into consideration Hua Fushu's status as the young lady of the general's mansion and did not dare to accept her as a doctor. However, he promised that she could come to his clinic to play at any time and also treat his patients.
Although Hua Fushu felt a little disappointed, he was satisfied that he could go to Dr. Li's clinic.
After saying goodbye to Doctor Li, Hua Fushu and Sanqiao went to Lefeng Tower. It was dinner time and the building was crowded, but they saw unexpected guests, several of Ye Zelin's good friends, Ling Zhiheng, the son of the Ling family, Zhao Ciyuan, the son of General Zhao Yan, and Yu Zichen.
Ling Zhiheng spotted Hua Fushu from a distance, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law!" He looked at Hua Fushu's feet, "You're fine!"
Hua Fushu felt that Ling Zhiheng was disgusting, staring at her feet. Before she could say anything, Ling Zhiheng put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Come on, sister-in-law, I'll treat you!"
Hua Fushu grabbed Ling Zhiheng's restless hand, turned around and grabbed him, and pushed him towards Zhao Ciyuan. He bumped into Zhao Ciyuan and Yu Zichen. She looked at him coldly, "If you touch me again, I'll break your dog legs!"
Hua Fushu turned and walked away with Sanqiao. Ling Zhiheng looked at Hua Fushu's back and Zhao Ciyuan and Yu Zichen and said, "Is it that serious? I just wanted to treat my sister-in-law to a meal. Why did Ye Yushi marry such a fierce woman?"
A pair of chopsticks flew in the air, and Ling Zhiheng dodged them hastily. The chopsticks passed over Ling Zhiheng and disappeared into the pillar in front of him.
The three of them were stunned, and it took them a while to recover. Hua Fushu was already sitting down drinking tea. Ling Zhiheng smiled and said, "No wonder, you didn't accept my invitation. It turns out you look down on me."
Hua Fushu smiled. This Ling Zhiheng wasn't too stupid. She didn't like Ling Zhiheng, but looked down on him. But how could Ye Zelin be friends with such a playboy?
Ling Zhiheng didn't want to provoke Hua Fushu again, so he went up to the third floor with Zhao Ciyuan and Yu Zichen. After Hua Fushu and Yu Zichen had eaten and drunk their fill, they rested for a while, paid the money, and returned to the General's Mansion.
At this moment, the general's mansion was busy, so no one had noticed that Hua Fushu had slipped away.
When she and Sanqiao arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wujing was stunned, "Young Madam." Then, Wujing handed over two letters and said they were sent to her.
Hua Fushu took the letter and knew who sent it as soon as he saw the handwriting on the envelope. One of the two letters was sent by the head of the Huo family, and the other was sent by Ouyang Jingming.
She took out the letter and read its contents, feeling very happy. "Brother Huo said that my second uncle has shown signs of recovery. When he recovers, he will come to Beijing to see me. I know that there is no disease that Brother Huo cannot cure."
Sanqiao was also happy, "Miss, let's quickly tell Madam Ouyang the good news."
"Look, I'm so happy I'm confused. Come on, let's go tell mother quickly. She will be very happy!"
Hua Fushu put the letter in his arms, pulled Sanqiao over the threshold, and walked towards Rongliyuan. Wujing looked at the two of them, a little confused.
