Chapter 73 Human nature is like this

After taking the county test for nearly ten days, although he could rest at intervals, his nerves were always tense. Now that he suddenly relaxed, Shen Yi still felt a little tired.

That night, he had a good meal at the third elder brother Shen Ling's house, drank some wine, and did not even go home, so he fell asleep in the guest room of the third Shen's house until noon the next day. Just got up from the bed.

After sleeping for more than six hours, Shen Yi slept comfortably. Shen Yi stretched a lot, and then saw the third sister-in-law's maid brought a pot of hot water and put it in front of him.

"Seventh Young Master, wash up."

This maid came from Mrs. Shen's natal family, and she is currently one of the only two servants of Shen Ling's family. Brothers Shen Yi and Shen Heng have often eaten at the third brother's house these years, so they are naturally very familiar with her, so they immediately nodded with a smile. : "Sister Lao Qiaoer is here."

Hearing Shen Yi's address, the maid named Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly, bowed her head in embarrassment and said, "Why did Seventh Young Master suddenly call me that?"

The former Shen Yi, although a little honest, but because he was born and raised in this world, he has a clear distinction in his heart. Therefore, although Miss Qiao'er often takes care of their brothers, Shen Yi does not call her sister, but follows her sister-in-law. Together, Qiaoer Qiaoer called.

After the new Shen Yi arrived, Shen Yi spent most of his time in the academy and didn't come back very often, so this was the first time Shen Yi changed his name.

Regarding Qiaoer's reaction, Shen Yi didn't take it seriously. While washing his face, he smiled at Qiaoer and said, "Over the years, Sister Qiaoer has taken care of our brothers a lot. Calling her sister should be her share. Third brother Na came in, I still have to call my little sister-in-law."

Qiaoer is the maidservant of Shen Yi's third sister-in-law, and she married with her own lady. Originally, if the Shen family had a suitable servant, they could marry in-laws, but the Shen family is not very rich, and there is only one old servant in the family. , the age is obviously not good enough.

Qiaoer has been in the Shen family for several years, and Shen Yi has seen her make out with Shen Ling more than once, and they have already become husband and wife.

Taking concubines is probably a matter of time.

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Miss Qiao'er's face flushed instantly, she glared at Shen Yi, turned her head and left.

"Seventh Young Master, you... what nonsense are you talking about..."

Seeing Miss Qiaoer fleeing in embarrassment, Shen Qilang smiled and said, "Sister Qiaoer, where is the third brother and third sister-in-law?"

Qiaoer stopped at the door and answered Shen Yi.

"The young master went out with his wife, and said that if the seventh son wakes up, he will let the servant cook some food for you..."

She glanced back, and continued: "Young master also got up early in the morning and went back to the academy to study."

"Does Seventh Master want to eat?"

Shen Qilang smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I have something to do when I go out."

Miss Qiao'er's face was still a little red, she lowered her head and ran away with small steps.

Shen Yi looked at the back of the girl running away, and muttered in a low voice: "So cheeky and so thin-skinned..."

After washing up, Shen Yi changed into new clothes and walked out of the Shen residence.

Because he had just finished the county exam, half a month away from the county exam, or a month later, Shen Yi could finally give himself a vacation and do some things of his own during this period.

He first found a roadside stall on the street to eat, then bought some pastries, wandered around the city twice, and came to the small yard he rented for a few children.

When these little guys first started to set up a stall to do business, they were very enthusiastic. They set up a stall no matter it was day or night, wishing they could sell things at twelve hours a day, but now after a few months, the six little guys I have gradually become accustomed to it, and I only go out to the stall in the evening, and I spend the day stocking up or resting at home.

After Shen Yi knocked on the door, a little girl came over soon and opened the door for him. The little girl glanced at Shen Yi with a happy expression.

"Brother Shen!"

This little girl is the youngest of the six little guys. She looks like she is only in her early [-]s. She wanders the streets and doesn't know her name. Several little guys call her little sister.

The little girl was wandering on the streets and almost starved to death. Later, she met the young man Xu Fu and a few companions, and managed to survive. From then on, she followed Xu Fu's surname Xu, and now she also has a name, Xu Xiaomei.

Xu Xiaomei was originally dressed in rags, her face was black and gray, and she was terribly thin. Now their life is easier. After several months of recuperation, Xiaomei's Shen Yi is no longer so skinny. So handsome, but at least she looks like a little girl.

Shen Yi stepped forward, touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Is your brother Xu here?"

"Here I am."

Xu Xiaomei pulled the corner of Shen Yi's clothes and said, "My brother just came back from outside the day before yesterday. I heard that brother Shen was taking an exam, so I didn't bother you."

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, and said, "Also, my brother... was injured a little bit."

Shen Yi frowned slightly, and said, "Take me to see him."

Only then did Xu Xiaomei nod her head, and led Shen Yi all the way into the yard. When the other little fellows saw Shen Yi, they all opened their mouths and called him "Young Master".

Soon, Shen Yi was on the bed in the back room, and saw Xu Fu lying on the bed. Shen Yi took two steps forward, found a bench, and sat by the bed. He glanced at Xu Fu and asked, "What's the matter?" ? Where is the injury?"

"arm."

Xu Fu lowered his head slightly to Shen Yi, and then said: "My lord, according to your instructions, I took those medicine bags and visited more than a dozen villages during this period. Those medicine packs were distributed to them one by one."

Shen Yi nodded and asked, "Is it effective?"

"After I gave the medicine, I stayed there for a day to see. Most of them were effective. Some had fever on the same day, and some had fever on the next day..."

Speaking of this, Xu Fu smiled wryly and said: "But it may not work. Two days ago, I went to a village in the countryside to distribute medicine. The child of that person had a high fever. After taking the medicine prescribed by the young master, it still didn't work. The child didn't carry it. Stay, it will be gone the next day.”

"I'll go to see the child's situation the next day, just..."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi shook his head slightly.

The medicine he prescribed can only cure ordinary fever. If the high fever persists due to other reasons, this medicine is really helpless. Moreover, the medical conditions in this era are extremely poor, and children die everywhere. Gone.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi glanced at Xu Fu's arm and asked, "Which family beat him?"

Xu Fu nodded: "After seeing me, he chased me and beat me...he must have taken my medicine to die..."

He looked at Shen Yi and smiled wryly: "If it wasn't for the loss of ten taels of silver, the young master might not be able to see me now."

Hearing Xu Fu's words, Shen Yi sat beside him in silence.

Indeed, in this era, proprietary medicines may not be accepted by people. People in this era will not believe that this medicine is non-toxic and harmless. It is not a prescription prescribed by a trusted doctor. This drug is on the head.

Human nature is such that even if the drug is free.

"It's my fault, I didn't think it through."

Shen Qilang lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said: "I'll find a doctor to show you later, during this time you can rest at ease and recuperate, don't worry about other things."
