Chapter 642: Big Year
When Jiang Fubao was resting, Shao Siyou took her place to diagnose and treat patients.
So after Jiang Fubao comes back from a good rest, Shao Siyou can take a break.
He walked to the backyard, stretched, then sat beside the charcoal stove, boiled a pot of hot tea, and slowly flipped through the ancient medical book that Jiang Fubao gave him.
There is only one copy of this book in the world.
If he hadn't become Jiang Fubao's disciple, he would never have been able to touch it in his life.
Compared to his previous time as a traveling doctor, Shao Siyou's medical skills have improved a lot.
It turned out that it would take him at least a quarter of an hour to take a patient's pulse, without anyone disturbing him and the patient not making any sound.
Now, in less than a quarter of an hour, we can come to a conclusion.
He is even learning acupuncture. You have to know that he couldn't even remember the acupuncture points before. After traveling to so many places, he can only prescribe medicine and can't do anything else.
The inner sense of accomplishment can't be replaced by anything.
Shao Siyou never liked money, and had no interest in love affairs between men and women.
Only medical skills can give him a reason to live.
"Brother, are you reading? Oh, there is hot tea, black tea. Black tea is the best match for dried persimmons. I'll give you two pieces. Wait until they are hot before you eat them. Otherwise, you will get an upset stomach if you eat them cold. Dried persimmons are cold in nature."
Just as he was fascinated by the sight, Chen Hongxia came over with two pieces of persimmon cakes. After she finished speaking, she put the persimmon cakes next to the teapot and roasted them together with the teapot.
Originally, she wanted to eat this persimmon cake.
"Okay." When Shao Siyou heard Chen Hongxia's voice, he immediately raised his head and looked at her with his eyes.
A hint of tenderness appeared in his originally calm eyes.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After answering, he did not look away for a long time, and the book in his hand was forgotten.
"Brother, you are still feeling uncomfortable. You got punched by that man while helping me, and I was scared to death. Although Master said it's okay, you are injured inside after all, so you need to take good care of yourself. Why don't you go sit inside? It's too cold outside. I'll help you carry the charcoal stove in." Chen Hongxia spoke again with guilt on her face.
Her hand reaching for the charcoal stove was held back by Shao Siyou.
Clasp your hands.
"No, I'm not cold. Just watch here. Don't burn yourself." Shao Siyou said this before realizing what he had done.
He immediately retracted his hand, and his ears turned red as if they had been scalded by hot water.
Chen Hongxia also stood there in a daze. The next moment, her cheeks turned red. Without saying a word, she turned around and ran away, even forgetting that Jiang Fubao had once told her not to run around in the clinic.
There was a hint of panic in her movements.
Shao Siyou was not much better.
He looked at his hands in annoyance.
How can I pull my junior sister in?
but...
Junior sister’s hands are so cold. Is she cold? Is she not wearing enough clothes?
Don’t you have enough money to make new clothes?
Shao Siyou was lost in thought.
Chen Hongxia, who ran to the front, was being scolded by Jiang Fubao.
"Why are you running? Didn't I tell you not to run in the clinic? It would be bad if you bump into someone." Jiang Fubao was just about to go to the toilet when she saw this scene. She spoke in a stern tone.
"Master, I'm sorry. I won't run away next time." Chen Hongxia felt a little ashamed. She quickly stopped and looked at her feet, not daring to raise her head.
How could she forget what her master said?
Damn it.
"It's okay, just be careful next time. Go and get busy. Remember, there are many patients in the clinic, and the waiter is bringing things from time to time. It's not good to bump into anyone, and you will be in danger too." It was just a small matter, so Jiang Fubao was naturally not angry. After she finished speaking, she went to the toilet.
After coming out of the toilet, she fetched some water and washed her hands.
But he found that Shao Siyou had been looking at the medical book for a long time without turning the page, his eyes were a little dull, and the hot tea on the charcoal stove was already boiling.
"What are you doing? The charcoal stove is about to be extinguished by the overflowing tea. Is there something bothering you? You seem to be in a daze."
Jiang Fubao walked over, picked up the teapot, and patted his shoulder. Only then did Shao Siyou's eyes focus.
"Ah, no, it's okay." Shao Siyou stuttered a little and his voice sounded nervous, which made Jiang Fubao even more suspicious.
She simply moved a stool and sat opposite Shao Siyou.
As for the teapot in his hand, he placed it on the table instead of on the charcoal stove to prevent it from boiling again.
"Tell me, what's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Jiang Fubao thought he was homesick.
"It's nothing, Master. Tell me, if a man and a woman are ten years apart in age, can they still be together? Will they be despised by the world?" Shao Siyou suddenly said this, scaring Jiang Fubao.
My goodness, her apprentice is having sexual thoughts?
No, it’s winter now, so it’s the dead tree that is blooming?
I originally thought that this disciple never wanted to get married in his life, but he is already in his thirties and he actually wants a woman.
So, who did he fall in love with?
Jiang Fubao couldn't figure out that the fifth disciple was a traveling doctor. Ever since he became her disciple, he stayed in the clinic and didn't go anywhere else.
Therefore, the only people he likes are those in the clinic.
Calculate his age.
Jiang Fubao instantly had two candidates.
Apprentice Chen Hongxia and the cook Yunniang who came last year.
One of them is ten years younger than Shao Siyou, and the other is ten years older than Shao Siyou.
According to the situation here, it is normal for a man to be ten years older than a woman, and old men and young wives are common.
The fact that his apprentice was so troubled meant that he was probably ten years younger than the girl.
Therefore, there is a great possibility that the apprentice likes Yunniang.
Coincidentally, just as he thought of this, Yunniang suddenly appeared in Jiang Fubao's sight.
She was squatting in the yard washing a pot of cabbage she had bought in the morning. Shao Siyou's dazed look was misunderstood by Jiang Fubao, who thought Shao Siyou was looking at Yunniang.
This further deepened Jiang Fubao's speculation.
Her curiosity suddenly arose, but she didn't say anything, for fear of disturbing the two of them. She slowly stood up and left quietly.
Yunniang was originally a maid working in the kitchen of the mansion.
Because she worked hard and was lively, she was chosen by her second sister to help out in the clinic.
The monthly salary is the same as that of other cooks.
Although Yunniang is already forty years old, she has never given birth to a child. She was divorced because she had no children for many years. In order to survive, she fell into slavery. However, she loves to dress up, so she looks about the same age as Shao Siyou.
She used the money rewarded by her master and the wages she earned to buy flowered cloth for clothes or to buy jewelry and rouge.
Because of her duty, Jiang Fubao turned a blind eye and liked the maids and servants who dressed up beautifully.
Yunniang is not ugly, she stays in the kitchen all year round, and her skin is relatively fair, so she must be the one Shao Siyou likes.
Jiang Fubao thought to himself.
No wonder the disciple asked her that just now.
However, she was not going to interfere in this matter. If her disciple really liked Yunniang and came to her for help, she would release Yunniang from her slavery.
