Chapter 18: Finding Bitterness and Joy, Day and Night (1)
"Miss is recovering quickly, but you can't say she's cured yet. I'll prescribe a few more medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. After taking it for three days, you're almost done. But pay attention to rest and rest, and don't blow the wind." Mr. He wiped his hands and lay on his face Ling Xuewei who was on the bed said with a smile.

Xia'er at the side has already prepared a pen and paper: "Doctor He please."

Ling Xuewei sat up and smiled at Aunt Li who was standing beside her. "Aunt Li, I have troubled you these days."

"Miss, you're welcome." Aunt Li replied with a smile; "Xian'er specially asked me to take care of you when he went to the capital. After all, it's inconvenient for you two girls to go out. Actually, it didn't help much, so why thank you." Pointing to the bamboo basket on the table beside him: "I made soup, you must drink it. We don't have any good medicinal materials here, so we can only eat something to nourish our body."

At this time Langzhong He had already written the prescription and handed it to Xia'er, saying: "A few things have been changed, you have to catch them again. The old man will leave first, and the young lady can rest well."

Ling Xuewei bowed her body and looked at Xia'er: "Go and see Langzhong He off."

On the corridor of the inn, Shen Xiyao stood leaning on a railing. Seeing He Langzhong and Xia'er coming out, he slowly walked forward with a warm smile.

"Are you a doctor?"

He Langzhong was turning his head to talk to Xia'er, when he heard the sound, he turned his head and was stunned for a moment before saying: "Exactly." He looked at Shen Xiyao, and frowned when his eyes fell on his feet: "Your feet ?”

Shen Xiyao nodded: "I heard that you have excellent medical skills, and you happen to be at the inn. So please help me diagnose and treat me."

He Langzhong stroked his beard: "Your injury is not serious, it is not easy to delay, why not do it now." Then he looked at Xia'er: "Go get the medicine first, and I will help this one look at the injury. Remember to put it away when the medicine is boiled." Let it cool down for better results.”

Xia'er smiled, but her eyes kept quietly falling on Shen Xiyao, admiring in her heart that there is such a man in the world, who is as dazzling as the morning sun, and as gentle as the new rain, with his handsome eyebrows, tall and straight figure, and mellow voice, Such a man should only appear in poems, or be praised in dramas.I don't read much poetry, if I were a young lady, I would definitely use wonderful words to describe it.When I come back later, I have to ask the lady for advice.

Xia'er was thinking, but she didn't forget that she was going to grab the medicine, she quickly glanced at Shen Xiyao, but was pleasantly surprised to find that he was also looking at her, when her eyes met, Xia'er blushed, and the next moment she quickly walked away from Shen Xiyao pass.

My heart is beating hard, just a glance...
In the guest room, just as Shen Xiyao took off his shoes and socks, He Langzhong's eyebrows were covered with a layer of darkness like mountains.

"May I ask what the injury is?" He carefully pinched the swollen part, but he didn't use too much force.However, Shen Xiyao grinned and took a deep breath.When he raised his eyes again, he saw He Langzhong's probing eyes.

"I was on my way last night and accidentally fell off my horse, and that's how I got hurt." Shen Xiyao answered honestly.

"Your injury is not serious..." After He Langzhong sighed, he pressed his hands lightly and concentrated on thinking for a while: "But you haven't hurt any big muscles and bones. You should rest in bed for three days, and then I will apply it to you." With the ointment, it will be almost healed. But in the future, you must pay attention to not walking too much within a month, so as not to leave the root cause of the disease in the future."

After hearing what he said, Shen Xiyao didn't nod, but raised his brows instead: "To tell you the truth, I have something urgent to do, so I can't delay here."

He Langzhong shook his head again and again: "No, if you forcefully go to the ground, I'm afraid it will be difficult to heal in the future, and you will have to endure severe pain."

Hearing what he said, Shen Xiyao had let go of most of his sadness. After all, there were good doctors gathered in the palace, and there were all kinds of rare and effective medicinal materials. As long as he didn't hurt his bones and could barely walk, he didn't worry about it.

Looking for Mr. He, it's actually a drunkard who doesn't want to drink.

"Then I have to trouble you to help me get the medicine and change it." Shen Xiyao said, he took out the purse he was carrying, took out a gold ingot and handed it to him: "If you don't mind, why don't you live next door, and it will be convenient for your diagnosis and treatment. Me and that patient. I have limited mobility, so things will naturally be delayed, but you live nearby, so everything is much more convenient. If this little money is used up, I will pay again. I hope you don't refuse." Shen Xiyao took a very serious With a gentle smile, there is no doubt in his tone.

He Langzhong looked at the golden piece and was stunned.One ingot of gold, not to mention three days of medicine and consultation fees, is more than one month.There was a flash of panic in his heart, and he raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him. Under the gentle smile, there was an irresistible pressure from the bottomless eyes, which made people nod their heads involuntarily.

When Shen Xiyao saw that Mr. He had agreed, the smile on his face was even brighter, his gaze passed the half-opened window and landed on the door of Ling Xuewei's room which was concealed.

"It's really a coincidence that I met you. I heard from the waiter in the shop that you are not a doctor in this town, but passed by from Dongdu. Why did you stay here?" Shen Xiyao asked pretending to be casual.

"I stayed at a relative's house in this town. I wanted to take a ferry to the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the triennial medical examination. I didn't want to be able to sail the boat due to the flood on the river, so I had to stay here temporarily. It happened that a lady was seriously injured on the boat, so I went Healing. After all, a doctor puts saving lives first. It’s okay to delay now, saving a life is naturally better than those so-called false names.” He Langzhong laughed, and carefully applied the wound medicine that he brought with him on Shen Xiyao’s swollen skin. There is a satisfied light in the eyes, without any impurities.

Shen Xiyao was moved by his words, but his face remained calm: "The medical examination you mentioned is the examination for the selection of imperial physicians for the imperial court?"

He Langzhong nodded: "Yes. Doctors are proud to have entered the imperial court. After all, it represents the culmination of medical skills. But I settled here, especially after talking with that lady, but I don't want to go."

"Oh? Why is that?" Shen Xiyao raised his eyebrows and asked in puzzlement.

"In the imperial court, it is nothing more than helping a few high-ranking officials to treat and treat them. The leaders in the imperial hospital are as numerous as the stars. Without me, they can still keep them safe. But the patients in the world wait until the high-ranking officials. If the stars face the sun, healers are born with a mission It should be treating, not what kind of people to treat, but how many people have been treated, which is the duty of a doctor." He Langzhong lowered his head and said: "When the young lady said this, I suddenly felt enlightened , This fame is like life to some people, but to me, it is like a passing cloud. Besides, I am not an official, the more people I treat in this world, the more I can prove my value as a doctor."

Shen Xiyao remained silent, looked into He Langzhong's sincere eyes for a while, and smiled slowly.

"That's right, people in the world only see Lilu, how can they know people's original intentions."

Xia'er bought the medicinal materials and went back to the inn. She happened to see Mr. He walking out of Shen Xiyao's room door, and she greeted her with a heartbeat. "He Langzhong," her voice was clear and tactful like an oriole: "I got the medicine back, and I have to ask you to guide the heat."

"It's Miss Xia'er." He Langzhong's eyes fell on the paper bag in Xia'er's hand, and his thoughts changed: "Miss Xia'er, I wonder if you could do me a favor."

"You said. You saved my lady, so it's no problem to help."

"I still have a pair of medicine here, which belongs to that young master. You can fry it together for me, and then send it to another place. I will live here from now on. Now I go back to get my luggage, and I have to grab some medicines. Sorry to trouble you."

Xia'er was taken aback when she heard it for the first time: "Who is the son you are talking about?"

"It's the one I met in the corridor before. You've seen it before, and you were injured. I know you're a girl, but..." He Langzhong hesitated in embarrassment.

"It's okay, just to send side medicine." Xia'er's heart was beating violently, and she tried her best not to make her voice sound strange.

"Then I'll trouble you." Langzhong He handed a paper bag to Xia'er, explained the essentials of frying in detail, and then left.

Xia'er held the paper bag tightly in her hand, her eyes fell on the door of Shen Xiyao's room, she couldn't help laughing, it was very sweet.

Ling Xuewei's medicine was boiled first, Xia'er asked Aunt Li to help look at Shen Xiyao's share, and walked into Ling Xuewei's room with a blue and white open bowl.

It was already noon at this time, and the outside became lively, and the voices of numerous people came through the window, with a sense of prosperity.Ling Xuewei sat quietly on the round stool beside the bed, carefully reading a half-old book.It was the only copy of "Rizhilu" that Ling Xuewei brought to Jiangnan from the Lingfu, and it was very precious.Her face was dizzy in the bright sunshine, and her vague and unreal beauty was intoxicating.The long slender hairpins on the head have been removed, replaced with sporadic five-petal plum-pearl and mother-of-pearl flowers, which does not have a demure and elegant charm.

"Miss, it's time to take some medicine." Xia'er was about to hold it in front of Ling Xuewei, and took it with her plain white hands.Xia'er looked at the annotated book on the table, and unconsciously said to herself, "I wonder if there are any words to describe him in the book."

"What?" Ling Xuewei raised her head, looked at Xia'er with her beautiful eyes, and immediately smiled: "Who is he?" That smile was cunning and mischievous.

"No...no one..." Xia'er blushed in a panic, quickly took the medicine bowl from Ling Xuewei's hand, and turned to leave.

"Xia'er," Ling Xuewei called her.

"Yes, miss." Xia'er hurriedly turned around: "What's wrong with you?"

"You didn't give me honey water to rinse my mouth. This medicine is very bitter." Ling Xuewei squinted and smiled, very gentle.

"Ah, it's here." Xia'er quickly took a Ruyi-patterned waist bowl from the table and handed it over.Ling Xuewei didn't answer, she just stared at Xia'er with a faint smile, very bright.

Xia'er was uncomfortable being watched by her, but she could only lower her head and said nothing, only feeling like a light on her back, anxiously waiting for Ling Xuewei to ask her something.

"You go. Didn't you ask Aunt Li to look after you in the kitchen?" Ling Xuewei looked away and picked up the books on the table.

Xia'er only felt that with the transfer of that gaze, she seemed to be relieved of a thousand catties.In fact, it was just a trivial matter. Xia'er was tossed about for a while, and finally said to Ling Xuewei: "Just now I saw a young master in the inn, and I saw him as a heaven and a man. But when I wanted to describe him in my heart, I couldn't do it I don’t think so. I just thought,” he said with a shy smile, “I just thought that those poems are so beautiful, are there poems praising such a man?”

Ling Xuewei didn't speak, Xia'er looked at her quietly, and was surprised to find that she seemed to be caught in some memory, with a slight smile on her lips, very quiet.Then he stepped lightly, intending to go to the kitchen to have a look.

Walking to the door, Ling Xuewei's gentle and soft voice came, reciting a beautiful poem, Xia'er paused, and although she didn't look back, she still smiled slowly.

"Zhan Bi Qi Ao, Green Bamboo Yi Yi. There are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting like sharpening, such as cutting like grinding. There are bandits and gentlemen, and they must not be scorned.

Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo green.There are bandits and gentlemen who are full of ears and are as good as stars.Se xi xi xi, he xi xi xi, there are bandits and gentlemen, you must not be scornful in the end.

Zhanbi Qiao, the green bamboo is like a scorpion.There are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin, such as jade and jade.Wide and generous, heavy and heavy, good at joking, not abusive. "

"Young master," Xia'er pushed open Shen Xiyao's room door, lowered her head and called softly, but her heart was extremely excited.

"You are?" Shen Xiyao raised his head. The woman in front of her was wearing an autumn-colored cotton dress, embroidered with a few sporadic light yellow begonia-like flowers. She was young, showing a hint of shyness.Shen Xiyao recognized her, she was the maid Ling Xuewei brought with her this time.I was stunned for a moment in my heart, and then I became happy.This is an excellent opportunity to get news about her.

"Mr. He went to grab the medicine, and asked me to bring the medicine you have prepared." Xia'er did not dare to go forward as she spoke, and kept her eyes downcast, not daring to look at the man not far away.

Shen Xiyao said "Oh", and after a while, his warm voice came, which was somewhat teasing. "Girl, my foot is injured and I can't walk, can I trouble you to bring me the medicine?"

Hearing what he said, Xia'er said "Aiya", which startled Shen Xiyao who was sitting on the bed. "I'm sorry, my lord, I forgot what Langzhong He told me." Xia'er walked forward quickly as she spoke, and the moment she handed Shen Xiyao the soup, she raised her head, only to see the man in front of her who was sitting, but with a dignified expression. Extraordinary, and his appearance is even more handsome.The most beautiful woman in the world might feel complacent when she sees it.It was such a person who was smiling sincerely at her, as if the first ray of sunshine in spring was shining on her body, making her indescribably comfortable and intoxicating.

"You are Mr. He's..." Shen Xiyao asked knowingly, in order to attract Ling Xuewei.

"Oh, I'm not. It's just that my young lady is sick, and she also asked He Langzhong for treatment, and happened to be in the same inn as the young master, so I was entrusted with it." Xia'er stood by the bed with her hands down, she lightly glanced at Shen Xiyao from the corner of her eye. , I saw him slowly put the medicine bowl on his knees with a pair of slender hands, thoughtful.

"Your lady..." Shen Xiyao pondered for a while, then smiled: "I don't know what disease your lady is suffering from, whether it is serious or not. I brought some herbs with me, if they are useful, you can take them."

Hearing what he said, Xia'er was stunned for a long time before she realized it. She felt a little suspicious in her heart, and a trace of doubt flashed across her face, but Shen Xiyao saw it.He just said calmly and slowly: "I often go out on the road, and I will prepare some medicinal materials casually. This time I don't need it for my foot injury. I am grateful for fate, and I hope those medicinal materials will be useful."

After hearing this explanation, Xia'er just felt that Shen Xiyao's words were on the point of her doubts, but she didn't go into the reason.After all, Ling Xuewei's injury was serious and vital, and she really needed good medicinal materials.After all, this Yuqiu town is remote, and no good materials can be found.However, it is naturally unacceptable to be strangers to the man in front of him and to be in a big family.After thinking for a while, I bowed my body: "Thank you for the kindness of the young master. It's just that my young lady is mostly cured and needs to recuperate now, so there is no demand for medicinal materials."

Shen Xiyao nodded, drank the soup in his hand, and then said to Xia'er: "May I bother you to pour me a glass of water?" His eyes fell on the empty kettle in the room, and he smiled apologetically: "There is nothing in this room. I haven't added water, so I'm tired."

Xia'er stood up, blushing slightly: "My lord, you are polite."

Looking at the back of Xia'er walking out, Shen Xiyao was thinking, not knowing how to tell Xia'er what happened that night so that they should be careful.After all, he is also a stranger, how can he convince them.After much deliberation, I feel that time is running out.Those bandits will come to this town tomorrow at the latest.It's best not to be discovered, but, how is it possible.However, He Langzhong may be able to help.

The group of leading men who wanted to murder Ling Xuewei sat in the hall under the Fulai Inn, staring at a pot of wine.He was still thinking about the man he met the day before yesterday.Although he said it was okay with his subordinates, he was just a passer-by, but he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, and gradually became a little irritable.After all, that horse was extraordinary, and it was the first time he had encountered it after wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, so the owner of that horse must be an extraordinary person.If that person knows the person he intends to harm, or reports to the official, then it will be troublesome.The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, he stretched out his hand and drank the wine in the glass, and when he turned around, he froze.

Behind the Fulai Inn is the place where guests park their horses. Most of the horses are tied in the stables, and there are wooden fences around them.At this time, the waiter in the shop took a pile of fodder and opened the stable again.There weren't many horses in the first place, so it was easier to identify the sweat-blooded horse that was all black. At this time, it was being carefully led out by Xiao Er to feed it. It could be seen that Xiao Er was also a treasure. nice horse.

The leading man put down his wine glass and walked forward wearing a mask of kindness.

"What a good horse." He stood in front of the horse, looked at it carefully, and praised with "tsk tsk" in his mouth.

"Yes." The waiter looked at the horse with fanatical love in his eyes: "It's the first time I've seen such a good horse." After a moment's pause, he said: "But it's not surprising to see the owner. It's like a play The fairy-like man mentioned in the novel."

"Really?" The leading man pretended to be surprised and curious: "I don't think this town is big, but there are such people? You can't be bragging." He patted the waiter's shoulder and shook his head.

"Who is bragging? It's true. If it wasn't for the lameness, he would be the Jade Emperor." He pointed to a window on the third floor: "I live in the private room there. If you don't believe me, go up and have a look quietly. .”

The leading man smiled "hehe" and said heartily: "I am a man, what kind of man do you want, if it is a beautiful woman, it is worth it."

"Hey, don't tell me, we really are very beautiful for our guests, prettier than any beauties in the paintings." The little girl looked proud.

The leading man's heart moved: "Really?"

"Of course." The shop waiter raised his head: "The young lady was injured, and she was recuperating in a private room. I was the one who found the doctor. But you don't have to go downstairs. There is a servant girl to serve you."

The leading man nodded: "Then your store is not simple." He said with a meaningful smile, ignored the bragging of the store waiter, and looked at the horse.

The sky became cloudy at some point, covering the bright sun.The wind picked up, bringing a chill.

Shen Xiyao sat by the bed in the guest room, thinking about how to get Ling Xuewei out of danger.At this moment, Xia'er pushed the door open again and came in, Yingying said: "My lord, I ordered the store to prepare the food and bring it up. I don't know if you have any other orders." After finishing speaking, she stood by the table in the room and poured a cup of tea. step forward.

Shen Xiyao looked at her, and smiled gently: "Miss is really thoughtful." He frowned, slightly abruptly: "I don't know how long you and your young lady will stay here."

A blush flew across Xia'er's face: "I won't go back until my master comes. Although Miss is mostly healed now, but the journey is tiring. Although it is not far away, it is very hard to climb over Beiman Mountain. It is really not suitable. " After finishing speaking, some whispered: "Actually, Miss doesn't want to go back to Beijing either."

Shen Xiyao lightly sipped a chrysanthemum in the cup, and when she heard Xia'er's last sentence, she was startled and then puzzled.However, he seemed to be able to vaguely guess the reason.

"Miss Xia'er, I have a horse in the stable in the backyard. Can you please help me to see it. It is a black horse with small ears and a young age."

Xia'er nodded: "Good sir, don't worry." After saying that, she turned around and went out, gently closing the door behind her.

Shen Xiyao watched her shadow disappear into the autumn sunlight, and half leaned on the bed.She doesn't want to go back to Beijing, why?She is the jewel in the hearts of her parents and elder brothers, so naturally it is not because of family reasons.There is no marriage, so naturally it is not a major event of marriage.Then why?

Suddenly, as if a ray of light shone into Shen Xiyao's mind, he woke up as if enlightened.

There is no marriage because Ling Xiang has been hiding in the snow.And judging from the current relationship between their emperor and minister, Miss Ling's family is very likely to enter the palace to serve.It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.Shen Xiyao only wants to be an ordinary man to love her, not a king.He knew that when he put on the mask of a king and put on the shackles of a king, he would no longer be him.And her background, he is destined to only hurt her.

She probably doesn't want to and disdains to enter that cage-like place, and compete with those other women for favor and favor.
