Chapter 19 I owe you

Shen Han raised his hand and touched Hao'er's head, then asked Lin Ruoqing: "I heard from mother that you want to send Hao'er to study at home?"

Lin Ruoqing bowed slightly to Shen Han, and then slowly replied: "That's what I was thinking. My cousin is busy with government affairs, and I didn't want to bother him with such trivial matters, so I mentioned it to my aunt a few days ago."

Without waiting for Shen Han to reply, the old lady sitting at the head said, "We are a family, it's not polite to say that." Then she waved at Hao Ge, "Good boy, come to grandma. I haven't seen you for several days. Grandma misses you."

Hao'er stuck to Shen Han, reluctant to go over at first, but when he saw the look Lin Ruoqing gave him, he reluctantly went to the old lady. Although he was not willing in his heart, he had a smile on his face, and he replied sweetly, "Grandma, Hao'er misses you too."

Upon seeing this, the old lady's face beamed with joy. She hugged Hao Ge'er and called him her sweetheart.

Shen Han looked up at his mother and Hao Ge'er, then turned to Lin Ruoqing and said, "Hao Ge'er is less than two years old and weak. It's a bit too early for him to go to a private school."

Shen Han agreed.

After hearing what Shen Han said, Lin Ruoqing frowned slightly and replied, "My mother and I are helpless and helpless, but fortunately my cousin took us under his protection, so the Zhao family reluctantly gave up. I also want to let Haoge open his eyes as soon as possible, hoping that he will be successful in the future, so that my mother and I will not be bullied anymore."

The old lady at the head of the family spat angrily after hearing this and cursed, "Who are the Zhao family? They are not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of our mansion." Then, she said to Shen Han, "If they dare to make trouble again, you don't have to be polite to them. Just let the servants tie them up and send them to the government. You can't give face to such people."

Shen Han replied, "Although the Zhao family is unreasonable, they have not violated the law. If we rashly report them to the authorities, we will be bullying them. I sent them away last time, and they probably won't dare to cause trouble again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoqing bowed slightly to Shen Han again and said while holding back tears: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to my cousin."

Seeing this, the nanny beside the old lady helped Lin Ruoqing to sit down beside the old lady. The old lady held Hao Ge'er with one hand and sighed while trying to persuade Lin Ruoqing.

Lin Ruoqing was sad for a while, then wiped away her tears and comforted the old lady, "Aunt, don't worry about me. Don't worry, I can take it easy."

Shen Han continued, "I understand that my cousin wants her son to be successful, but haste makes waste. Hao is still young and is in a hurry to go to school. I am worried that he will not be able to eat the snacks."

Then he added: "This is just my opinion. This matter still depends on my cousin's opinion. If you insist on doing this, I will go and tell the clan leader tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoqing looked up at Shen Han and replied, "I'll think about this again. Thank you, cousin."

Shen Han said nothing more, said goodbye to his mother and left Chunxi Hall. He had originally planned to go to the study to handle some matters, but halfway there, he changed direction and ran towards Lan Yaju.

Lan Ya Ju had just added some new residents early in the morning, and now its appearance had changed drastically. People were sweeping the yard and tending to the flowers and trees, and everyone was busy and happy.

Finally, there is some lively atmosphere.

Shen Han didn't let the maid tell anyone, he just walked into the house on his own.

Qingqing was sitting at the desk outside, flipping through a book. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw that it was Shen Han. She was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you back again?"

The couple spent very little time together. In the past few days since Shen Han returned, he only came here when he had something to do. Today, he came here twice in a row, and Qingqing seemed a little uncomfortable.

Shen Han came to the desk, fixed his eyes on the book she had just been looking at, and asked, "What book is this?" "This is the Pharmacopoeia compiled by my father during his lifetime," Qingqing replied.

"So this is the benefactor's last work." Upon hearing this, Shen Han picked up the book on the table and flipped through it casually, saying, "Although I don't know medicine, I can see that this book embodies a lot of the benefactor's hard work."

Qingqing said, "My father started compiling this Pharmacopoeia when he was young. At that time, he practiced medicine while traveling around, tasting hundreds of herbs, determining their medicinal properties, and compiling this book. Later, my father married my mother, who was also a female doctor, and the two of them compiled this book together. My parents wanted to compile the most complete medicine book based on the medical classics handed down from their previous lives, and pass it down to provide convenience for doctors all over the world to practice medicine."

Qingqing said, then took the thick book from Shen Han, turned it over to him and said: "The Pharmacopoeia compiled by my father was originally intended to include all the medicines in the world."

She sighed slightly and said, "It's a pity that my mother passed away later, and my father also died after compiling half of it. Alas! This book was never completed."

She closed the book, smiled bitterly, and shook her head slightly.

Shen Han stood in front of her. He looked at Qingqing, reached out and held her hand holding the book, and said, "My benefactor, you saved me from danger. I owe you and your daughter a favor. It is really hard to repay you."

This was their first time of physical contact. Qingqing's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and even the hand holding the book couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She withdrew her hand, and to hide her shyness, she turned to the bookshelf and carefully put the book in the mahogany drawer at the top of the shelf.

"Qingqing."

Shen Han followed and walked behind him. He moved his thin lips slightly and called her softly.

Qingqing turned around and looked up at Shen Han. Seeing that he still had a guilty look on his face, she said, "Father saved you out of his own will. You don't have to feel guilty about this."

Shen Han is a loyal and responsible man.

Qingqing knew that her father died while saving him, and Shen Han has always felt guilty about it.

"My benefactor is a respectable and good man." After a long time, Shen Han said sincerely.

Although her father was born into a common family, he helped many people and saved many lives. He was humble, polite, gentle and had the ideal of saving the world by practicing medicine.

He is indeed a respectable person.

Qingqing nodded and replied, "At the beginning, the traitor Wang Ke intended to rebel in Shu. In order to accumulate strength, he plundered the people's wealth and made our Shu people live in misery. The court sent troops to suppress him many times, but they were defeated by the natural barriers of Shu. If it weren't for the general's wisdom, leading the troops to approach Shu and defeating the traitor, the people of Shu would have to endure the suffering for who knows how long. The general is the savior of the people of Shu. Seeing the general's unfortunate death, not to mention his father, any Shu citizen would come to his rescue out of righteousness."

After Shen Han heard what Qing Qing said, he sighed slightly and said, "Defeating the traitor Wang Ke did cost the court a lot of effort, and I almost lost my life in Shu." Then he looked at Qing Qing with a guilty look, "It also cost you the only relative you had."

Qingqing smiled bitterly and replied: "Now that the traitor has been eliminated, the people of Shu are living a peaceful life again. My father can rest in peace if his spirit is in heaven."

The couple talked for a while, and before they knew it, the sun was setting. Grandma Sun had already made all the arrangements, and seeing that it was almost time, she asked the maids to serve the wine and food. She came in and said to Shen Han, "Sir, it's time for dinner, and dinner is ready. You can eat here with the young lady today."
