Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Doctor Xu
Yu Jin also heard the rumors outside and felt that something was wrong.
That day, she went to the dock and thought of something, so she turned to Huichun Hall to take a look. She didn't see Doctor Xu, but one of Doctor Xu's disciples was sitting in the hall.
"Where is your Doctor Xu?" Yu Jin asked, "It seems like I haven't seen him for several days."
The way to the pier usually passes Huichuntang. She passed by it several times, but she did not see Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu's apprentice said, "Last month, someone took our master away and wanted him to treat the noble man."
Yu Jin's heart tightened, "What noble person?"
"I don't know. They didn't say." Doctor Xu's apprentice thought for a moment and said, "But judging from their accent, they seem to be from the north."
When Yu Jin went to the dock, his brows were furrowed.
Last month, that was March.
Doctor Xu was taken away in March. The other party spoke with a northern accent. Could he be from Beijing? Could it be related to my brother-in-law?
Yu Jin recalled that when he first met his brother-in-law Fu Wenxiao, he looked sick and didn't look like he would live long.
Who would have thought that he would recover one day, not only successfully take part in the imperial examination, but also go to the capital...
As the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, there are probably many people paying attention to him. Naturally, some of them will inquire about his life in the South and know about his illness and recovery.
Doctor Xu is the only doctor the Fu family has ever come into contact with in the South.
When Fu Wenxiao fell ill, the doctor hired by the Fu family was always Doctor Xu, who was also the best doctor in the county. It would be normal if those people thought that it was Doctor Xu who cured him.
Yu Jin felt that most of the miracle doctors who were rumored to have cured her brother-in-law were Doctor Xu.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Although she didn't know who took Dr. Xu away and whether they really asked him to treat the disease, she didn't want anything to happen to Dr. Xu.
If it was just to find Doctor Xu to treat the disease, it would be fine. If it was just because of my brother-in-law...
Yu Jin immediately went to the girls' school and found an inconspicuous nanny who was in charge.
She said to the housekeeper, "Doctor Xu was taken away by people from the north, who said they wanted him to treat the noble lady. I don't know if this is true or not. Please tell my sister and brother-in-law about this and ask my brother-in-law to send someone to investigate and ensure Doctor Xu's safety."
This housekeeper was the one who took over Aunt Lan's affairs after she left.
Yu Jin later observed and found that the head nanny managed the girls' school very well. Not only was it well organized, but she was also very caring towards the girls.
With her around, Yu Jin felt much more at ease.
Now Yu Jin has realized that this housekeeper should be from the Fu family.
Sure enough, the housekeeper agreed immediately after hearing this and told her not to worry, she would handle the matter.
Yu Jin was indeed relieved to hand this matter over to the Fu family. He just hoped that Doctor Xu would be safe and sound and nothing would happen to him.
Doctors like Dr. Xu who are both skilled in medicine and kind-hearted are very rare. If anything happens to him, it will be a loss for the people.
Because of this, Yu Jin didn't have the energy to inspect the shops and went straight home.
But as soon as she got home, she saw her aunt Chen and Yu Qin coming, and the expression on her face instantly faded.
Yu Laoer and his wife, Yu Yin and Yu Zhu were all at home.
The Yu family is usually busier in the morning. Liu and Yu Laoer are busy with the rice ball business at the dock. Yu Yin and Yu Zhu will also go to the store to check on the girls. Nowadays, the girls in the store are very capable and they don't need to stay there all the time. They can usually go home and rest after working until noon.
I guess Chen's mother and daughter must have figured this out, which is why they chose to come here at this time.
"Jin Niang, you're back." Chen said flatteringly.
Yuqin's face turned a little red, but she still called out in a flattering manner like her mother.
Yu Jin was too lazy to play along with them, so she asked straight to the point, "Why are you here? Aren't you here for my brother-in-law?"
Both Chen's mother and daughter looked a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Yu Jin knew that she was right, so she asked again: "Was it grandpa or grandma who asked you to come, or was it uncle?"
Chen was embarrassed for a moment, but soon recovered and said, "Your grandfather and uncle both mean the same thing."
So, the mother and daughter were called over by the men from the Yu family.
Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh, but it wasn't surprising. She said, "Aunt, since they want something, just ask them to come over. What's the point of asking you to come? Qin Niang is a married woman. How can a married woman always go back to her parents' home and run errands for them? Be careful that the Yang family will be angry if they find out."
She really looked down upon the men in the Yu family. Whenever something happened, they would only let the women come forward, while they would hide perfectly behind and enjoy the benefits planned for them by the women.
This was really impolite. Chen's face turned red and Yuqin was also a little embarrassed.
"Jin Niang, how can you say that?" Chen said hesitantly. It was not easy to get angry with her, so she could only endure it, "Jin Niang, this time we are going to ..."
"Whatever you are here to do, you don't have to tell me." Yu Jin interrupted her again, "I don't want to hear it."
Chen: “…”
In the end, Chen and Yuqin left in disgrace.
After seeing the two off, Yu Jin turned to look at his parents who had remained silent.
Liu said hurriedly, "I just got home and saw them at the door. I haven't said anything to them yet."
Yu Lao Er also whispered: "I'm not good at talking, so I didn't say anything."
Yu Jin stared at his parents and said, "Dad, has Qingshi Village asked you to go back recently?"
"Yes," Yu Laoer said truthfully, "but I'm busy with business now, how can I have the time to go back?" As he said this, he rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
Before coming to the county town, Yu Laoer felt that doing business was very dangerous and it was more practical to farm in the village.
Until he broke his leg and was taken to the city by his daughter, he went to the dock with his wife to sell rice balls. Although it was just a small business and did not earn as much as others who opened a store, every penny was hard-earned. The sense of accomplishment made him very comfortable. In addition, he met many people and experienced many things, and his concept finally changed.
When Yu Lao Er learned that his eldest son-in-law was the top scholar and even a nobleman in the capital, he also felt a sense of unreality.
Later I found out that no matter what the eldest son-in-law was like, their lives seemed to have not changed much. He still went to the dock with his wife every day to sell rice balls.
Yu Laoer is very satisfied with his current life and doesn't want it to be ruined by anyone.
When people from Qingshi Village asked him to go back, he did not go back on the grounds that he was busy with business.
At most, he would be scolded a few times by the old man and the old lady. Anyway, he had been scolded a lot in the past and he was used to it. At least now the old man and the old lady no longer dared to hit him.
Yu Jin was very satisfied after hearing this. Her expression eased a little and she said to her parents, "You must remember that your brother-in-law is your brother-in-law and we are us. Even if your brother-in-law is not ordinary, that is your brother-in-law's business. There is no reason to ask for any benefits from him, so as not to embarrass your eldest sister."
"I'm putting this out there. If anyone dares to embarrass me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
These words were spoken in a very stern manner, and Yu Laoer and his wife could not help but shudder, and quickly promised that they would never do that.
"We won't make things difficult for Li Niang!"
"Yes, as long as Li Niang is doing well, we will be relieved."
Yu Yin and Yu Zhu didn't say anything. They just watched silently as their second sister scolded their parents like their grandsons.
To outsiders, this kind of thing is simply treason and anti-Heavenly.
However, in their family, they have never been able to count on their parents since they were young, and naturally they have never thought about relying on them for anything. They just hope that they can live their lives peacefully and not cause them any trouble.
The three sisters all knew that their brother-in-law Fu Wenxiao’s status was not ordinary, and it was impossible for those people not to have some ulterior motives, and they would definitely want to ask for benefits.
They were also prepared.
Sure enough, a few days later, Mr. Yu and his wife and Boss Yu came in person.
When the Yu Jin sisters heard the news, they rushed home and saw Grandma Yu ordering the second Yu and his wife to serve them tea and water in a majestic manner as if she was calling out to her grandchildren. She also complained that the snacks were not tasty and wanted to eat those from Zhiweizhai, and scolded them for being stingy and not knowing how to be filial to their parents.
Yu Jin's face tensed instantly, she walked over and overturned the table.
"ah--"
Mr. and Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu were all shocked and looked at her in horror, especially Mr. and Mrs. Yu. This scene reminded them of the time when Yu Li came back home that year and she had overturned the table in the same way.
Before they could start to make trouble, Yu Jin said sternly, "If you don't want to eat, get out! Where do you think this is? This is my home, the house I bought! It's not your country place. How dare you order my parents to be servants in my house? Even if you are the elders, there is no reason to make things difficult for us. I am not afraid even if you go to the government to sue me. Parents are not kind, do you expect your children to be filial?"
Boss Yu pointed at her angrily, "You you you——"
"Okay, leave if you have nothing else to do." Yu Jin said coldly, "We don't entertain uninvited guests!"
Old Master Yu was so angry that he shouted: "You damn girl, are you rebelling against the heaven?"
Yu Jin sneered, picked up the eight-immortal table that she had overturned, propped it up with one hand, looked at them and said, "Grandpa, what did you say?"
She seemed like she would hit him back if he said something wrong.
This time, Mr. Yu didn't dare to say a word.
The three of them looked at her in horror. This damn girl actually had so much strength. Could she be like Li Niang, who could even break the pillars of the house?
"Jin, Jin Niang, please put the table down." Old Lady Yu said tremblingly, "We are here today to see if you are doing well. We have no other intentions..."
Boss Yu shrank his head and hid behind the two old men, not daring to say a word.
Yu Jin looked at him with disdain, slowly put down the table, and said calmly: "I see, since you have seen it, you can leave."
Three people: "..."
Before coming, the three of them were thinking of asking Yu Laoer and his wife to ask for some benefits from Fu Wenxiao, after all, he was their son-in-law.
Compared to those girls, Yu Laoer and his wife are gentler and easier to control, so it’s definitely a good idea to choose them.
Who would have thought that this damn girl Yu Jin would overturn the table without saying a word, and start cursing and smashing things, it was really scary.
The last three also left in disgrace.
Yu Jin said to them, "No matter what you want to do with my brother-in-law, it's impossible. Don't come here again in the future!"
The three of them didn't dare to say a word, as if there was a ghost chasing them from behind.
After the three people left, Yu Jin waved to Yu Zhu and gave her some instructions.
Yuzhu nodded, followed him out, and went to find someone to keep an eye on Qingshi Village to prevent those people from taking advantage of their brother-in-law's relationship to gain benefits, which was not allowed.
Although many people know that the branches of the Yu family are not harmonious, it is inevitable that some people want to please the Fuguo Mansion and directly approach other members of the Yu family and promise them benefits.
Yu Jin and Yu Yin cleaned up the things that had been spilled and said to their bewildered parents, "If they come again in the future, don't let them in."
"Isn't this...not good?"
"What's wrong with that? You can take them to the teahouse for some tea. If there's anything wrong, let them speak it out in broad daylight and see if they have the nerve to do it."
“…”
Yu Laoer and his wife looked at their daughter's calm appearance and did not dare to disobey her.
This is the couple's temperament. The stronger others are, the weaker and more obedient they are.
In this family, Yu Jin is the most powerful person, and she is extremely capable. Yu Jin controls them all very well, and even if they feel something is wrong, they dare not resist and just agree weakly.
**
Ever since getting the black horse, Yu Li goes to the stable every day to cultivate a relationship with it. He not only feeds it grass, but also cleans its body and takes it out for a walk.
She does almost all the work of taking care of the black horse.
There is no way. This black horse has a very fierce temper. If anyone gets close to it, it will kick its hooves. If you are really kicked by it, it will be no joke.
Not only that, it was also very domineering. After being brought back to the Duke's Mansion, the entire stable was its territory, and no other horses were allowed to be around, not even mares.
Yes, it's a stallion.
The servants serving in the stable did not dare to approach it.
The only one who could get close was Yu Li.
Whenever Yu Li came, no matter how violent the black horse was, it would instantly calm down. If you got closer, you could see that its limbs were trembling slightly, and it was barely holding on and refusing to kneel down.
This made the servants secretly amazed. They really didn't understand why the black horse was only quiet in front of the lady. The lady looked thin and skinny, and she was not a vicious person, so she should not scare the horse.
Sometimes when Fu Wenxiao was around, he would go to the stable with her to take a look.
While Yu Li was busy washing the black horse, he helped to carry some hay to feed the horse.
However, when he put the hay in front of the black horse, the black horse actually ignored it and kicked the hay he had prepared away with one hoof, making some whistling sound, and raised its horse face proudly.
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
"What are you doing?" Yu Li patted the black horse, "This is the fodder that Xiao Ge brought over. If you don't eat it, you'll starve!"
She doesn’t care who the object is, she doesn’t value food, and she doesn’t even care about horses.
The black horse neighed, used its hooves to pick up the grass that it had kicked up, and lowered its head to eat it in silence.
Fu Wenxiao found it funny. It turned out that a bad horse needs a bad man to grind it.
No, his Li Niang is not a bad person. She is a good girl who is very reasonable. There is no girl in the world who is more principled than her.
The black horse is hot-tempered and doesn't like people to get close to it.
Fu Wenxiao also relied on Yu Li's presence and not only approached it, but also reached out to touch it. He was also a horse lover and was excited to see this black horse. If it were a few years ago, he might have tried to tame this wild horse.
Noticing the black horse's rejection of him, he didn't care and said to Yu Li, "Mother Li, we can't always let you take care of it. How about sending a few more guards who have practiced physical skills?"
Many of the Fu family's guards have practiced physical skills. This is what Yu Li taught them when they were in the provincial capital of Qingjiang Province. These are Fu Wenxiao's current personal guards.
Although the practice time is not long, as long as you practice for more than half a year, you can achieve some results.
With the skills of these guards, they can avoid the attacks of the black horses.
"No need." Yu Li said, "I can do it by myself, it won't take much effort."
Those guards all have their own things to do, and asking them to come and serve a horse would be a waste of their talents.
Yu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with serving a horse personally. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it was inappropriate and beneath her status, but in her eyes, it was the most normal thing.
Fu Wenxiao didn't force it. "That's fine. If you need anything, just go find them."
Yu Li hummed casually.
After washing the horse, Yu Li took it out for a walk.
Of course the horse ran by itself and she just watched from the side.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is very large and has a horse farm. However, this horse farm is naturally not as good as the horse farms in the suburbs, and the black horse is not very satisfying to ride.
When it came over, Yu Li patted its neck and said, "When you can carry me on your back one day, I will take you for a run in the suburbs."
The black horse's muscles trembled. He resisted the urge to dodge and stood there stiffly.
Fu Wenxiao laughed. It seemed that the black horse would need some time to get used to carrying her.
