Drunk Bamboo

"Next." Hall Master Zhao called out habitually.

Ge Gen, the only disciple of Renjitang, ran in excitedly and said:

"Master, no more. We have seen all the patients this morning!"

Hall Master Zhao was stunned. He didn't expect it to end so early. In the past, he hadn't even seen half of the patients by this hour.

Having Qi Zhen to help today was key, but having Xie Yuzhu by his side also greatly increased the speed of the consultation.

He took back the idea of ​​calling her stupid.

This girl not only has a quick mind, but also quick movements. She could tell where the things and medicines he used were just by looking at him. She learned about his habits from Ge Gen in just one morning. When Ge Gen was too busy to help, she was able to take over, and she did a standard job without making any mistakes.

It seems that he has some medical background.

Hall Master Zhao glanced at Xie Yuzhu, then said to Ge Gen, "The sooner we finish, the sooner we can eat. Ge Gen, go cook."

Ge Gen asked innocently, "Master, there are three more people today, should we add another dish?"

Master Zhao only asked: "Do you have any vegetables at home that can be added?"

"No……"

Xie Yuzhu put away the paper and pen on the table and said with a smile: "We eat whatever Master Zhao eats. We are not picky eaters."

Qi Zhen stepped forward and said, "Ge Gen, you should get angry first, I'll go buy some vegetables."

Ge Gen immediately said happily: "Okay!"

Master Zhao stood up to stretch his muscles and said inconspicuously, "Buy a crucian carp. We have radishes at home. Let's make a crucian carp and radish soup."

"Okay." Qi Zhen looked at Xie Yuzhu and smiled, "Grandpa Zhao wants to nourish Yuzhu's body."

"It's because I want to drink crucian carp soup."

After Qi Zhen and Ge Gen left, Hall Master Zhao sat down again and said to Xie Yuzhu, "Come here, let me feel your pulse."

Xie Yuzhu stretched out his hand.

Master Zhao stroked his beard with one hand and placed the other hand on Xie Yuzhu's wrist. He frowned and lowered his head to think for a moment.

He put his hand down, raised his eyes and asked, "You were so weak before, did you have a serious illness?"

Xie Yuzhu took back his hand and said with a smile, "Master Zhao has a keen eye. I have been weak since I was young and almost died three years ago. Perhaps God did not let me go. After I woke up, my body gradually got better."

Master Zhao was shocked by her calmness.

"Little girl, your state of mind is very stable. If you didn't have a clear mind and no worries or complaints, you would have died long ago. Is this the original reason why you want to study medicine?"

Xie Yuzhu said calmly: "I have no talent, but I became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time. I think that living in this life must have a goal and be useful, so that life can be meaningful."

Hall Master Zhao has seen countless people, but this is the first time he has seen such a young girl so calm and composed, with a steady temperament and calm eyes, which is not what one would expect from a girl of her age.

"Look at how you are dressed and have a servant with you. Qi is so respectful to you. You must be of a high status. Why do you want to come to this small and shabby place like mine to learn medicine?"

Xie Yuzhu looked up at the small, shabby house, which was small but fully equipped with everything, and felt a sense of fulfillment.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant. I came here because of Master Zhao's medical skills and character. If he didn't have real skills and ambitions, how could he regard fame and fortune as passing clouds?"

Master Zhao liked Xie Yuzhu's straightforwardness, and the occasional display of Master Zhao's noble character in her words touched Master Zhao's heart.

"Hahaha, the little girl's temperament is quite to my liking. She dares to think and act, and is open-minded. She is much better than Qi boy."

Seeing him smile, Xie Yuzhu felt relieved.

He is not an old man with a weird personality, but an old grandfather who is easy to please.

She could even make the emperor, the most unpredictable person in the world, happy, let alone a doctor with a bad temper.

She quickly bowed and said, "If Grandpa Zhao doesn't mind, Yuzhu will come to bother you often in the future!"

Even the way they addressed each other changed, bringing them closer together.

Hall Master Zhao had a teachable look on his face: "Based on this cleverness, how can that stupid boy Ge Gen compare to him?"

Xie Yuzhu served tea and water: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhao."

At this time, someone outside the door said, "Is this the Renjitang in Niuma Lane?"

Yun Ling took a few steps forward and said, "Yes, this is Renjitang."

The man came into the room carrying two food boxes, and when he saw Xie Yuzhu, he called out, "Madam."

It was Chang An from Anhe Restaurant, who came personally to deliver the food.

Xie Yuzhu was surprised: "Chang'an, why are you here?"

Chang An narrowed his eyes and said, "Master is worried that Madam is not used to eating out, so he asked me to make some dishes that Madam likes and send them to you."

"He asked you to deliver it specially?"

Chang An opened the food box and the aroma filled his nose.

"Yes. The master said that Madam missed the pickled fish and crab paste tofu soup, so he sent it to her right after it came out of the pot. It's still hot, Madam, please eat it while it's hot."

When she smelled the fragrance, Xie Yuzhu's stomach started to growl.

"Thank you."

Chang An put the food on the table, stood up to leave, and asked, "Madam, do you have anything for Chang An to take back?"

Xie Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Let your son have a good meal and have fun."

Chang An narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yes."

Hall Master Zhao: "You are so young, and you are already married? Qi is already over 30 years old, and he is still single."

Xie Yuzhu: "We just got married not long ago."

Master Zhao smelled the aroma of the food and said, "It seems that your husband treats you well. I will have a good time in the future."

On the other side, at Anhe Restaurant, Hua Qinfeng was furious.

"That's all she said?!"

Chang An, who had returned from Niuma Lane, smiled as if he had never changed: "That's what Madam said."

Chaoyang comforted him, "My Lord, the princess asked you to eat well and have fun, why are you angry?"

"Why should I be angry? I'll go on horseback!"

Hua Qinfeng slammed the table and walked away.

Chaoyang had no choice but to follow, and it was another afternoon of riding.

Finally, it was dark again: "Prince, after riding the horse for the whole afternoon, can we go back to the palace? It's dark now, the princess must be in the palace."

"She told me to have fun. It's still early, let's go drink."

As he spoke, he flew in the opposite direction of the palace.

At the entrance of Anhe Restaurant, I met a few familiar young men from wealthy families.

When one of them saw Hua Qinfeng, he exclaimed, "It's really the prince! I heard that the prince has become handsome and elegant. He is really handsome!"

Another person came forward and greeted, "Your Majesty, long time no see. Where are you going?"

Hua Qinfeng: "Let's drink together!"

"We are going to Taohua Tower to drink. Your Majesty, please come with us!"

Hua Qinfeng agreed immediately: "Let's go together!"

Chaoyang hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, they are going to Taohua Tower. Don't you dislike Taohua Tower?"

She said unhappily, "Thank you Yuzhu for letting me have fun. Isn't Taohualou the favorite place for men in Zhongdu to have fun?"

Spreading his hands, Chaoyang was speechless.

"My Lord, you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position just because you are angry with the princess..."
