Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 704 Dog Eyes

Song Ying received her gaze, but he didn't understand what had offended her, and was too lazy to delve into the reason. He just pretended not to see it and turned around to refill tea and water for other guests.

Tao was observant and noticed Li's gloomy expression. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that she was feeling aggrieved.

He then took Li's hand and said with a smile, "Old sister, I have something to discuss with you. This house is empty and it would be lonely for the three of them to live here alone. Why not let your Tianwa move in too so that they can look after each other."

Seeing that Li's frown had eased slightly, she went on to say, "Your Tianwa is the most knowledgeable about the ways of the world, unlike the few clueless ones in our family. With him helping me, I can feel more at ease in the village."

Li's tense expression gradually relaxed. She stroked the silver bracelet on her wrist and said modestly, "He's just pretending to be smart. He's nothing like your Qing, who's good at studying. That's what real talent is. I wish he could be less clever and read more."

"Yuanwa is good at studying. I envy you. Both of your grandsons are promising. I wanted to let Yuanwa come and live here, but the academy is in the north of the city, and it's a long way to go. I can't let him miss his studies..."

The two of them started chatting about their grandson, and they were both very happy, with each being humble.

In the end, after much deliberation, Li rejected Tao's proposal.

It is certainly nice to live in such a big house, but it is someone else's home after all, and it is not pleasant to live under someone else's roof.

Besides, Tianwa is growing up and is old enough to start a family. After he gets married, the young couple can't live separately in the city and the village. Then when will she be able to hold her great-grandson?

Therefore, the Song family also has to prepare to buy a house in the city.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Li became. She immediately decided to go back and discuss it with her son and daughter-in-law.

Since I have to buy a house in the city sooner or later, it’s better to buy it sooner so that my grandson can live in his own home earlier and be comfortable.

When they come into the city, they can also find a place to rest.

After the housewarming party, Tao and the others stayed for two more days before returning to Wutong Village, and Song Ying and the others also started to get busy.

Chen Yunze paid great attention to his uncle who had suffered a stroke. Ever since he set out from Chengdu, he would find Song Ying every day and report his itinerary in detail: "The servant sent back a letter yesterday saying that they have passed Longquanyi," "The message sent back yesterday said that they have arrived in Tongchuan," "According to the time, they should be in Yanting today..."

He also reminded Song Ying to check for missing medicinal materials, which annoyed Song Ying so much that he wanted to avoid him.

Finally, on the evening of the tenth day of February, the group arrived in Qingshui County. Song Ying, who had received the news in advance, was waiting in Huichun Hall.

While no one arrived yet, everyone in the clinic cleaned up. As Song Ying was sweeping the yard, she thought of the diagram she had drawn of the inside of the human brain. She still remembered the main structures clearly, but some of the subtle grooves and the direction of the blood vessels were a little blurry.

This cannot continue.

After hesitating for a moment, she approached Miao Yufu and said, "Sister-in-law, could you please draw a picture for me?"

Without even looking up, Miao Yufu readily replied, "Sure."

She paused, then suddenly smiled and jokingly said, "After talking for so long, you finally need me for once."

Song Ying's face flushed slightly, and he explained in an embarrassed voice, "Well, I don't draw medicinal herbs. I want you to help me draw the internal structure of the human brain."

Miao Yufu was stunned. "Human, the structure of the human brain?"

Song Ying nodded, looking at her eagerly. "I know this is a little scary, but my drawing skills are really terrible. It doesn't look like the original at all. I could barely make it out from memory before, but after so long, I'm afraid I've forgotten the details."

Miao Yufu frowned and said hesitantly, "Let me give it a try."

Song Ying's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Master's Wife! I'll bring my painting over tomorrow. Take a look first, and then I'll give you a detailed description..."

As he was speaking, he heard the rumbling sound of wheels rolling over bluestone slabs from the alley entrance.

Looking up, I saw a carriage with red wheels and a canopy parked in front of the door, followed by several horsemen. One of the servants, a young servant in a silk shirt, drove his horse forward and dismounted beside the carriage.

He held the reins and looked around. Seeing the clinic's narrow entrance and a missing corner of the gray tile eaves, he immediately covered his nose and frowned, "Master Ze, are you making fun of our master? This place looks like a place where untouchables live. It's even shabbier than our stables. What kind of miracle worker could be hiding here?"

Before Chen Yunze could say anything, Aunt Chen from the preserves shop next door slammed the door, put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily, "Oh! I thought it was someone's dog that was not tied up and came here to bark!"

Her voice was so loud that it could be heard halfway down the street, and she poked the servant's nose with her finger. "Your master hasn't even spoken yet, and you, a guard dog, are baring your teeth first? What's the matter? Is your stable covered in gold? Or are you so used to living in a gilded place that you can't even speak like a human being?"

The servant blushed, "You—"

He had barely uttered a word when Aunt Chen interrupted him with a "Pah!" "Do you know that good wine needs no bush? With Song Ying's medical skills, there are so many patients coming from all over the place to see him every day!"

The homes of the county magistrate and the prefect often politely invited her to visit them for medical consultations!

And Doctor Ma and that kid Wenxuan, their medical skills are very good! Song Ying's master, the emperor and his empress in the palace have to invite her!

Who do you think you are to look down on others like that?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yunze hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a gentle voice, "Doctor Ma is a benevolent man who helps the world. It's often said that 'a doctor should prioritize helping others.' The clinic was located here precisely to provide convenience to the poor. The consultation fee is only 10 wen. If the patient is really in financial difficulty, he often even buys medicine on credit."

But Huichuntang's medical skills are impeccable. What Aunt Chen said is true. Whether it's Doctor Xiao Song, Doctor Ma, or Doctor Lin, they are all excellent doctors. Huichuntang can cure many difficult and complicated diseases that others can't!"

Aunt Chen snorted heavily and glared at the servant: "Did you hear that? If your master is really that valuable, go get the imperial physician right away and stop taking up our poor man's time!"

The servant's face flushed with anger: "What a scoundrel! Do you know..."

"Shut up!"

A low shout came from inside the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, and a young and handsome man jumped out of the carriage.

He glanced at the servant coldly, then turned to Aunt Chen and said, "This servant was rude and offended Aunt Chen. I will apologize on his behalf."

Aunt Chen is a straightforward and good-natured person. She believes in making money through harmony in business. She rarely gets angry with others on weekdays, but today she was really angry about the word "untouchable".

Ever since Song Ying's reputation spread, everyone who came to Huichuntang for medical treatment was polite. This was the first time she saw someone so condescending. She was really angry.

Now that she saw the richly dressed young man apologizing in person, her anger subsided.
