sister-in-law

Chapter 114
Gu Zhang was a little distracted, and his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the carriage, but unfortunately, the curtain of the carriage was tightly covered, and the situation inside could not be seen at all.

As a hero of the Western Expedition who returned in triumph, it is impossible for him to stare at other people's carriages like an ordinary townsman.What's more, the carriage was very ordinary, without any logo on it, so he couldn't remember it even if he wanted to.

In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his face away, suppress the curiosity in his heart, and continue walking forward with concentration.

After the triumphant army passed, there were still excited crowds on the street, talking about the achievements of the Western Expeditionary Army.It's a pity that Su Ruoli didn't hear anything in the carriage, and all the troubles in the world seemed to be unable to melt into her heart.

When she got home, she was a little listless.Gu Lanniang was devoted to housekeeping, and Gu Mo was studying hard in the room, so naturally he didn't know what was going on outside.

At the end of the night, the family had a peaceful reunion dinner, washed up and went back to the house to rest.

On the second day, Su Ruoli still got up early and came to Sanyuan Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhong greeted him with a happy face and a big smile, "Miss Su, I have some good news for you. Our reputation is well-known in the capital. I heard that General Xizheng, who returned victorious yesterday, wants to invite you." You are going to heal his wounds."

"General of the Western Expedition?" Su Ruoli was a little unresponsive, "Is it Li Fu'an?"

This Li Fu'an had been to Sanyuantang before, and Li Zhong also heard from the staff, so he naturally knew him.

He immediately shook his head, "No, although General Li also went to the west, he is General Guide Zhonglang. I don't know who this general of the Western Expedition is!"

Although Li Zhong had relatives in Beijing, he was just an ordinary businessman, and he knew little about these things. He only thought that it would be a great thing for his pharmacy to be remembered by General Xizheng.

"How does General Xizheng know about Sanyuantang?" Su Ruoli couldn't help wondering, it seems that General Xizheng just came back yesterday, right?

"I heard that the general was seriously injured, and he insisted on meeting His Majesty before returning to the camp. His Majesty also sent an imperial doctor to treat him, but they were helpless. The Secretary of the Ministry of War recommended our family..."

It turned out to be such a thing, no wonder.

But Su Ruoli has a rule, that is, not to go to other people's door.

She shook her head and said with a smile: "Did the shopkeeper tell me about my rules? I won't come to the door."

Those rich and powerful families have many rules and tricks, and she doesn't want to get involved.Anyway, she also worked in the hospital in her previous life, and she wasn't someone else's private doctor. Who cares what kind of general he is, even if the emperor came, she wouldn't go!Besides, there are all the equipment in the operating room, how could it be possible to take them to others?

Li Zhong smiled wryly, "Girl, you are a great hero, and you were seriously injured. I just asked you to run away, what are you afraid of?"

"Since he can go to see His Majesty with serious injuries, why can't he come to seek medical treatment in person for his own life?" Su Ruoli was annoyed, and hated this kind of privileged person the most.

Li Zhong had nothing to do with her lonely temper, so he could only sigh, "He is a general, are you afraid that he will kill you in a fit of anger?"

Su Ruoli didn't like to hear these words, and immediately sneered, "If he doesn't want his life, just come and kill me. If he kills me, he won't survive!"

Whoever has the ability is awesome, Su Ruoli is like this now, she is too confident in her medical skills, anyway, patients have to beg her, she doesn't need to curry favor with anyone!

Seeing that Li Zhong couldn't persuade her, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk back to the soldiers who came to invite her.

In the front hall, the soldiers who had just returned from the battlefield were tall and straight, and their silk armors were all brand new, apparently they had just been put on.Standing there with a straight face, he didn't even take a sip of the new tea brought by the man.

Seeing this posture, as if he was going to fight someone desperately, Li Zhong's scalp was numb with fright, he hesitated for a long time, and then he stepped forward eagerly and told the soldier.

The soldier obviously didn't expect that there are doctors so good, dare not go to the camp to see a doctor for the great hero of the Western Expedition, their general, is that okay?
Even the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital has visited it in person, but this doctor is even more arrogant than the imperial physician?

The soldier opened his mouth wide and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but Li Zhong stood in front of him bowing and bowing, like a suffering slave.

"Didn't you fucking speak clearly?" The soldier who reacted angrily grabbed Li Zhong by the collar, strangling his fair face flushed, and Li Zhong's eyes widened in fright. I couldn't speak for a long time.

"You didn't tell the doctor that our general is not an ordinary person, but a hero who fought bloody battles. Without our general, would you goddamn people be able to put on airs here?"

The soldier was so angry that he was panting like a cow, wishing he could strangle Li Zhong to death.

"Stop!" A crisp voice at the door shouted suddenly, and the soldier couldn't help but look up.

I saw a young woman wearing a veil standing at the door, her black hair was combed into a bundle, and her face could not be seen clearly through the veil, only a pair of beautiful and cold eyes looked at her with a cold light, and she was not angry. prestige.

The soldier let go of his hand before he knew it, stared blankly at the woman, and then asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the doctor you're looking for," Su Ruoli said calmly and calmly, "I've always practiced medicine like this. I never come to see a doctor, no matter what kind of general he is." It doesn’t matter if you’re a high-ranking official or a dignitary. You can talk to your general when you go back. If you want to heal your illness, you can come here by yourself. "

Su Ruoli's few words made the soldier's face flushed so red that he was about to bleed.He was also in a hurry, and forgot what the general told him when he came. The general told him to invite a doctor over, but he didn't ask him to beat people.

If this man were strangled to death today, the general would have to skin him.After following the general for a year, he already knew who the general was.Although the general is not much older than him, but he is smarter than him, he never puts on airs on weekdays, and loves soldiers like children, eating and lodging like soldiers.

In addition, the general's superb arrow skills are even rarer. This time he went deep into the hinterland of the Hu people. If the general hadn't led them to hide skillfully, they would have been eaten alive by the Hu people long ago.

From the bottom of his heart, he admired the general from the bottom of his heart.

He was stunned for a while, then turned around and gave Li Zhong a military salute, apologizing with shame on his face, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry."

How could Li Zhong dare to accept his gift, he quickly took two steps back in fright, there was still a deep mark on his neck.

In the large tent in the suburbs of Beijing, Gu Zhang was lying on a canopy bed, enduring the severe pain in his chest, and reluctantly listening to the reply of the fearful soldier in front of him.

Originally, he didn't need to rest in the camp, because of his meritorious service in chasing the barbarians this time, the emperor not only bestowed on him a fourth-rank General Zhengxi, but also pointed out to him a house with three entrances and three exits in the imperial city.

But Gu Zhang was alone and had no relatives in Beijing, so he didn't want to go to the mansion, so he still lived in the tent.

After hearing the soldier's reply, Gu Zhang didn't fly into a rage. On the contrary, he was very puzzled and couldn't help asking, "You said that doctor is a woman? Doesn't he come to see a doctor?"

The soldier hurriedly described the woman's appearance in detail, and finally licked his lips and added, "Although the woman is covered with a veil, according to my subordinates, she must be a beautiful woman." Great beauty."

Seeing the envious look on the soldier's face, Gu Zhang couldn't help but glared at him, "Stupid, you've been so fascinated by me just now?" Shout out.

"Come here, prepare the car~" Gu Zhang ordered loudly, but the soldiers hesitated: "General, you, do you really want to go in person?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Zhang stretched out his hand angrily, "If they don't come, we have to go in person. Is my wound or face important? You can't tie someone up to treat me?"

The personal soldiers rushed over to help him up, put another big cloak on him, and helped him go outside to the carriage.

After walking a few steps, Gu Zhang suddenly stopped and grabbed the soldier's shoulder, "You mean that doctor is a woman?"

The soldier nodded in confusion, obviously he had already told the general just now?

"Did you see how old she is?" Gu Zhang's eyes suddenly brightened up, black and glittering like stars in the sky.

"This..." The soldier patted himself on the head, and smiled wryly, "At that time, the woman was covering her veil, so the subordinates didn't see clearly, but..."

"But what?" Gu Zhang's complexion was a little uneasy, he was excited a moment ago, but now he seemed a little disappointed.

The soldier glanced at him, and replied cautiously: "However, my subordinate heard that woman's voice, it was very sweet, and she should not be very old~"

Gu Zhang lowered his head and smiled wryly, what was he thinking about just now?How could you think of this woman as Li'er?

Apart from Li'er raising her family and showing up to practice medicine these days, which woman would do this?

This female doctor must be someone else, right?
He comforted himself, not letting himself lose his mind easily.I don't know why, ever since he came back and saw the tightly covered carriage in the city, the figure of Li'er has been haunting in his mind all the time, and he can't get rid of it.

He couldn't help being amused by what he was thinking, maybe he hadn't seen her for too long, so he couldn't help but miss her, right?

Don't you think about it every day and dream at night?

This is what he is now.

A few personal soldiers guarded Gu Zhang's carriage all the way, and arrived at Sanyuan Hall in less than half an hour.

Gu Zhang's wound hurt even more when he was jolting in the carriage, bright red blood had already oozes out from under the layers of white gauze, the pain made his forehead sweat like a bean, but he didn't say a word.
