Spring Water Cold

Luo Jin had heard from his father before that there were often conflicts between doctors and patients in hospitals, which made doctors very troubled and some doctors even resigned because of it.

Situ An ate in silence for a long time before saying, "It was my fault. I was careless and prescribed the wrong medicine, which led to..."

He sighed.

Luo Jin inadvertently brought up his sad memories and quickly changed the subject, "That... can Xiao Xiaoyu really still have children?"

"How can a man have children?" Situ An glared at her, "The fertility can be restored... but the body cannot grow taller, and they will still be discriminated against to some extent, right?"

Luo Jin said: "I will ask the prince later if he can arrange jobs for these people so that they can earn money to support themselves."

Situ An nodded, "You're right, being able to live well is better than anything else."

As he was speaking, a voice was heard from outside, "Why do I hear someone talking about me?"

Then, Chai Qi walked in from outside the door, followed by Chai Heng and Chai Jing.

As soon as Chai Jing saw Luo Jin, she rushed over and hugged her, "Brother said you were very busy. I have been holding back from disturbing you these days. It's really hard! Did you eat the food I gave you?"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "I did. It was delicious!"

Chai Jing smiled then, "Which one do you like? I have a lot more and I'll give them to you later."

Chai Heng said, "My Changfeng Garden is so fun now. I have a lot of fish and many new animals. Do you want to go and play? Jing has been staying at my place these days and won't leave."

Luo Jin had basically finished the work on his hands. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Okay, I love playing the most!"

Xiaolian held the cat and poked her head out of the door.

Luo Jin called her over, "Can you bring Xiaolian with you? She hasn't found her family yet, so she's following me for now."

Xiaolian gradually recovered her memory after the craniotomy, but it was rather vague. She remembered that her home was in a big house, but she couldn't remember which city or even which country it was in. She couldn't quite remember what her parents looked like, nor did she know their names. She

only vaguely remembered that she had a happy childhood and a mother who was very good to her.

She also remembered her actual age, which was not ten, but sixteen. This was very cruel to her, and she still doesn't dare to look in the mirror, not because her hair hasn't grown out, but because her small stature is too inconsistent with her actual age.

Her martial arts skills have now dropped to the seventh level. Although she is much stronger than ordinary people, it is completely different from before.

Xiaolian wore a hat, tilted her head and looked at Chai Heng, hiding behind Luo Jin timidly.

Chai Heng smiled and said, "Of course, you can bring anyone with you. My house is quite big and can accommodate as many people as you want."

His Changfeng Garden was originally the mansion of a corrupt official. After the corrupt official was confiscated, the garden was awarded to Chai Heng by the emperor. Luo Jin had been there several times before, and it was indeed ridiculously large. Chai Heng had not yet married, and he was the only master of such a large garden with more than a dozen servants.

Chai Qi said, "Father said that you have made great contributions this time and he wants to promote you. I persuaded him not to do so."

"Ah?" Luo Jin looked up at him, "Why?"

"You are now a fourth-rank official. If you are promoted to a third-rank official or above, you will have to attend the morning court every day," Chai Qi chuckled, "Can you get up?"

"I can't get up..." Luo Jin was helpless, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The rule of Dongyuan is that officials above the third rank must attend the court every day, and the time is roughly equivalent to about four o'clock in modern times, which means that she has to get up at three o'clock every day for this job.

Luo Jin is now a fourth-rank official, and does not need to go to the court every day, but she still has to go to the court on the first and fifteenth of each month. It is very difficult for her to get up every time. If she goes every day, she will really collapse.

"Change it to a reward of one thousand taels of gold." Chai Qi continued.

Luo Jin's eyes lit up immediately, "Your Highness the Crown Prince understands me!"

Chai Qi nodded, "I understand you!"

The case of the dwarf slaves has been solved, and the next finishing work will be handed over to Jie Gui. He has already made contacts and let these children go to the six ministries to do some chores. The work is stable and the salary is not bad. Moreover, working for the court will be respected, which also makes up for their lack of height. But they need to learn a lot of things, and they will have a very hard time in the future.

According to the treatment plan prescribed by Situ An for each person, they will not be much shorter than normal people. If they are lucky, they may grow into an ordinary short person.

Situ An was also ready to leave.

Luo Jin said, "Why don't I recommend you to His Majesty and let you enter the Imperial Hospital? Dongyuan is quite wealthy, and there are often rewards for working in the palace."

Situ An waved his hands quickly, "The Queen Mother Su will definitely come to arrest me, and I have to find someone who can protect me as a backer."

"You mean..."

"I'm going to Jiyuan to find the Emperor, and the Queen Mother Su probably won't dare to go to Jiyuan." Situ An sighed, "If I am really caught, I will have to treat her injuries. Anyway, she probably won't kill me."

Luo Jin rolled his eyes at him, "When we went to find you, you looked like you would rather die than obey. What? In your eyes, is the Emperor not as powerful as the Queen Mother Su?"

Situ An smiled embarrassedly, "As soon as I saw the two of you, I knew you wouldn't... If you really hurt me, there is no murderous intent in your eyes. But that Su Hejing is different. If I don't treat her, she will really kill me."

Luo Jin: "You are a real dog."

She paused, "Have you finished writing the storybook?"

Situ An shook his head, "Not yet, I've been too busy these days. Let's go to Jiyuan to write more, and I heard that there is a magical herb there, and I want to go and find it."

Luo Jin did not try to keep him, and asked someone to prepare a car to send Situ An out of the city.

Xiao Xiaoyu followed Chai Qi away, and Luo Jin took Xiaolian to Changfeng Garden.

When Chai Heng heard that Luo Jin was coming, he immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a large table of food and set a full table for her.

Xiaolian followed Luo Jin, staring at the food on the table with her big eyes. She turned her head to look at Luo Jin and asked softly, "Can I eat it?"

Before Luo Jin could answer, Chai Heng said, "Eat whatever you want. You are Luo Qing's person. You don't have to treat yourself as an outsider. You can eat whatever you want and play whatever you want."

Xiaolian carefully picked up a piece of bean cake and looked at Luo Jin.

Luo Jin smiled and nodded, "The Second Prince has said that it is okay to eat, so eat it with confidence."

Xiaolian then put the bean cake into her mouth, took a bite, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Delicious! As delicious as my mother's!"

Luo Jin smiled, "I still remember the bean cake my mother made."

Chai Heng said, "This bean cake was made by a chef from Jiyuan. I heard that it is a local specialty. Is Xiaolian from Jiyuan?"

"Jiyuan..." Xiaolian murmured and repeated, but still shook her head, "I can't remember, I only remember a big yard, and there were cats in the yard. That cat was very big, much bigger than this one."

She was still holding the cat when she came. The cat's legs were completely healed, and it was lying at Xiaolian's feet, "meow meow" and waiting to be fed.

After dinner, Chai Hengxing took Luo Jin to his backyard to play.

"I've been wanting you to come and play for a long time!" Chai Heng pointed to the forest in front, "I have a group of monkeys, they always run around, I had someone cover this area with a net. You just throw a banana in, they will fight for the banana, it's really fun."

As he said, he picked up a banana and threw it in through the gap in the net.

As expected, several monkeys came out and started chasing around the banana. The monkey that grabbed the banana first didn't even have a chance to eat it, and was chased all over the forest.

Luo Jin couldn't help laughing, "It's really fun."

Even Xiaolian giggled, she hasn't been so happy for a long time.

There were a few peacocks strolling around the edge of the forest, and a fat iron-eating beast was holding a long bamboo, basking in the sun while chewing it leisurely. All the animals raised by Chai Heng are vegetarians, and they will not hunt each other. As long as there is enough food, they can live in peace, and the whole backyard looks like a wild zoo.

"Also, I raised a lot of koi in the lake!" Chai Heng could not wait to take Luo Jin to the lake again, grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it in. The water surface suddenly became agitated, and the fish jumped out of the water one after another, scrambling for food.

Luo Jin saw that some of the fish were black fish, but there were indeed many red koi. She couldn't help but grab a handful of fish food and throw it in, watching the fish on the water jumping around, like dumplings.

Just when she was having fun, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind her, "I was wondering why I couldn't find Brother Heng anywhere, it turns out he is here playing with the female officials!"

The tone was unfriendly and a bit sour.

Luo Jin turned around and saw a beautiful girl standing behind him. She was wearing a gorgeous dress made of woven snow-forged fabric. She looked at Luo Jin with resentment, "Brother Heng didn't even come out to greet me!"

Chai Heng was stunned and turned to the girl, "It's Miss He... Haven't you been here several times? You won't get lost, right? Why should I come out to greet you?"

He casually introduced her to Luo Jin, "Prime Minister He's daughter, He Wanying."

He Wanying said anxiously, "You... I am the prime minister's daughter!"

Chai Heng said, "I'm the emperor's son..."

He Wanying pointed at Luo Jin angrily, "What's her relationship with you?"

Chai Heng glanced at Luo Jin, "Friends... What's the matter?"

"Not... not a lover?" He Wanying's expression eased slightly.

"No..." Chai Heng shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, it will embarrass people."

He Wanying put one hand on her waist, "Then...between me and her, you choose one! Either I go or she goes! I can't tolerate another woman sandwiched between us!"

Luo Jin was stunned for a moment.

She just came to see Jinli, why is this He daughter so resentful of her?

He Wanying said angrily: "Even if people say that I am unreasonable, I will never let her ruin our relationship here!"

Chai Heng was stunned for a long time, "Our...relationship? We don't have any relationship, right?"

He shook his head, "It's inexplicable, if you want to leave, just leave!"

He Wanying: "..."
