Chapter 67: Double Medical Fee
The old dean's surname was Chen. Upon hearing this, his face froze for a moment, and then he laughed heartily.
He looked at Shen Yu and said, "Your temperament is quite good. However, in this kind of matter, everyone thinks that it is the ladies who take the lead. In fact, from our doctor's point of view, whether you can have a son soon depends mainly on the man's ability."
Shen Yu: “…”
Does that mean he's not capable?
Chen Yuanshi has known the Shen family for many years and has watched Shen Yu grow up, so it is harmless to joke with him a few times.
Otherwise, considering Shen Yu's current status in the court, who would dare to tease him about this?
Chen Yu: "Please don't tease me, she is still sick now, I don't have the heart to do that."
Wen Wan knew that the two people had a close relationship just by listening to their conversation.
She thought, "Don't use my illness as an excuse. I may be blind, but I'm in great shape. As long as a man is willing to work hard, maybe he can have two children in three years."
Shen Yu: “…shameless.”
Wen Wan chuckled, "Is this what you call shameless? There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and having no descendants is the worst. You're already this old, even if you're not anxious, I don't believe your elders aren't."
Shen Yu touched his forehead helplessly, and had the urge to cover her mouth.
He turned to Chen Yuanshi and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, old man."
Court Envoy Chen waved his hand. "I think your young lady is quite ambitious. Don't worry, I see her pulse is steady and strong, and she's in good health. Having two children in three years is too frequent and won't be good for her recovery, but having two in five years shouldn't be a problem."
Wen Wan thought this doctor was quite interesting, and actually joined him in dealing with Shen Yu.
She smiled brightly, "You heard me, right? That's what the doctor said. You have to work hard in the future. If our child wants to come into this world soon, it all depends on you."
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more out of control, Shen Yu quickly got down to business.
"How are her eyes? Can they recover?"
Dean Chen put away his joking expression and said in a deep voice, "She suffered from the smoke and then cried for a long time, which damaged her health. It won't be easy to recover."
Hope rose in Shen Yu's eyes, "It's not easy, but is there a way?"
Chen Yuanshi nodded and said, "I will give it a try, but I'm only 20% sure. I have a fellow disciple who is very good at treating eye diseases. I've seen him cure the same injury as yours. If we can find him, we should be 90% sure."
Shen Yu asked: "Where is your junior brother now?"
Chen Yuanshi stroked his beard. "Come to think of it, his most recent letter was sent to me from the border town. But that was two months ago. I'm not sure if he's still there now."
Chen Yuanshi’s junior fellow apprentice’s surname was Zhou, and his given name was simply “Qian”.
At the beginning, he and the old hospital envoy took the examination for the Imperial Hospital together. Later, both of them passed the exam at the same time. But for some unknown reason, Zhou Qun did not go to the Imperial Hospital to take up a position, but chose to travel around the world.
As a doctor, although there is a bright future in front of him, he can keep his original heart and not be overwhelmed by the world. This kind of mentality is incomparable to ordinary people.
Chen Yuanshi sighed again, "To be honest, I came to the border town to see if I could find my junior brother. I also happen to have a patient who needs his help."
Hearing this, Shen Yu looked at the old envoy meaningfully.
Chen Yuanshi's scalp tingled under his sharp gaze. "Don't stare at me, and don't ask too many questions. These are things I can't tell you."
He was reluctant to even mention it, after all, it was related to the Imperial Palace.
Shen Yu retracted his gaze, "Well. I won't embarrass you anymore, I won't ask."
Just as Chen Yuanshi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him add a sentence.
"I'll ask someone in Beijing to check it out myself."
Chen Yuanshi was stunned and pointed his finger at Shen Yu angrily, "You, you..."
Although he was angry, he didn't dare to forget his status as a general just because he made a few jokes with Shen Yu. Therefore, the old envoy didn't dare to say anything in the end.
"Don't be angry. The most important thing now is to find your junior brother. As long as he is still in the border town, I can find him."
Shen Yu asked Jin Mu to write down the address of Zhou Qun's letter and arranged for him to find it immediately.
This time he asked the old steward to come over to check on Wen Wan's eyes, so he cleaned up a room in the yard for the old steward to settle down.
Chen Yuanshi had been running around for more than half a month and was indeed very tired. Chen Zhou helped him to the side room to rest.
After the people walked away, Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard this doctor is an old man? He's so old, and he still has to go out to see patients, but he doesn't even have a medicine boy by his side. It's really pitiful."
Wen Wan tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve and said, "Give me more money later."
Shen Yu: “…”
Does she think that the dignified courtyard steward is a wandering doctor?
Pay back the medical fee?
Is the Minister of the Court short of these small things?
Wen Wan thought he wouldn't agree, so she said coquettishly, "Why didn't you say anything? Did I spend all your salary on medical treatment and medicine during this period? You used to be very generous, and I thought your family didn't lack this little money. Why, your family has fallen on hard times..."
"Here! I'll give him double the consultation fee!"
Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "So my little ancestor, please stop cursing my family's decline and say something nice."
Wen Wan's face was pinched by him and it hurt a little. She grinned and said, "Okay, I'll say something nice. I'll give you a big fat boy next year, okay?"
Shen Yu: “…”
She just relied on the fact that her eyesight was not good now and he would not take advantage of her!
When her eyesight healed, he would wait for her to see the masculinity of a man.
*
Although Shen Yu didn't live in this courtyard these days, he would come here whenever he had time.
Because Dean Chen was here these days, he came every day to ask about Wen Wan's treatment.
Finally, he couldn't come today because of something in the army. Chen Yuanshi was secretly happy, thinking that he would not have to answer a basket of questions today.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as Chen Yuanshi left the room, he was caught red-handed by Wen Wan.
"Doctor Chen, I have something to ask you." Wen Wan was leaning on a long jade-carved stick in her hand.
Whenever Chen Yuanshi saw this stick, the corners of his mouth would twitch.
Wen Wan is blind, so she doesn't know the origin of this jade stick.
He had seen it in the palace before. It was a jade stick presented by the barbarians. Because of its smooth texture, it was very much loved by the little princess, and the emperor gave it to the general as a reward.
At first, the little princess asked General Shen for it many times, but General Shen refused to give it to her.
Now this stick was actually given to Wen Wan by General Shen as a blind cane.
Envoy Chen couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile, "Young lady, feel free to ask me anything. Actually, I have a question for you as well."
"Then you ask first." Wenwan still has the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Envoy Chen said, "You have a nice jade staff. Was it given to you by Captain Zhou?"
"A jade stick?" Wen Wan's eyes widened. "You said it's made of jade? Isn't this the stick he used to beat dogs when he was a kid?"
Dean Chen's expression changed. "Beat, beat the dog with a stick?"
