Comprehensive film and television: Every time I dress up as a supporting role
Chapter 20 Wen Shichu 2
Wen Shichu would not deny the Zhen family's life-saving grace to the original owner's family.
I am willing to help the Zhen family as long as I can and it does not put myself in danger.
But if Zhen Huan still follows the original plot and asks him to help her pretend to be sick and commit such a serious crime punishable by beheading, he will not be happy.
The original owner didn't care about the true or false nine clans, but Wen Shichu did. He wanted to enjoy life and live well until he was old.
On the way, Wen Shichu saw a roast duck restaurant and bought a whole duck.
At the Wen family, Wen Shichu's mother Tao Chan was eagerly waiting, and finally saw her own carriage swaying back.
....This silly son of hers lied to her that he was going to the temple to pray, but she didn't know what he was going to do?
Zhen Huan was a concubine waiting to be chosen, so it was impossible for her to get married privately. Moreover, she could see that Zhen Huan had no interest in him, so this trip was doomed to end in disappointment.
Tao Chan pinched her handkerchief, put away the worry on her face, and forced a smile. When Wen Shichu came down, she pretended to be clueless and asked:
"Chongguang, are you tired today?"
Chongguang is Wen Shichu's courtesy name, and only his family members call him that. His colleagues in officialdom usually call him Doctor Wen or "Brother Wen."
"Not tired." Wen Shichu got out of the car carrying the roast duck and smiled at his mother.
The identities she had previously traveled through time as were all semi-orphans. Her mother had died, and her father didn't love her, so there was no difference between being alive and being dead. This was the first time she traveled through time as a person with both parents, which was quite strange.
Tao Chan carefully looked at her silly son's face, but didn't see anything wrong. She glanced at the driver subtly, and then walked towards the house with Wen Shichu while opening the conversation:
"Besides burning incense and praying for blessings today, did you meet any friends?"
"No, I didn't meet any acquaintances." Wen Shichu didn't want to talk to his mother about Zhen Huan, so he naturally changed the topic of praying:
"On my way home, I saw a delicious roast duck restaurant, so I went in and bought one. You and Dad can enjoy it tonight."
More than ten years ago, Wen's father was involved in a harem struggle. He was sentenced to death but could not escape punishment. His leg was broken and he has been recuperating at home ever since.
His leg was eventually healed, but he could no longer walk as well as before the injury. He always walked with a limp and needed crutches.
Father Wen was ashamed to see people because of his untidy way of walking, so he rarely went out. He became quiet at home, strolling around the house every day, raising fish, or watering flowers.
After that, the Wen family fell into a short period of living beyond their means. The family's food, clothing and other expenses were repeatedly reduced, and they even dismissed the servants.
It was not until Wen Shichu was successfully elected as the imperial physician and started to earn money for the family that the family's frugal lifestyle ended. They hired back a few servants, including a cook, a coachman, a laundry boy, and so on.
Don't be greedy, eat and dress normally, don't be extravagant, and it's no problem to support a family with Wen Shichu's monthly salary.
But if I marry Zhen Huan...
Hiss, although Zhen Huan didn’t have to suffer, she couldn’t compare with the luxurious life at her mother’s house.
After Wen Shichu calculated the family's food, clothing and other expenses, he came to a conclusion. In theory, Zhen Huan marrying the original owner was not considered marrying down, but it was definitely not the best option.
Thinking of this, Wen Shichu sneered. The original owner's affairs had nothing to do with him anymore. He would just live his own life well from now on.
Working in the palace, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and serving the concubines is also a difficult task. He has to be alert and never get into trouble. He just hopes to work well until retirement.
After a good meal in the evening, Wen Shichu took a nice bath, washed himself nicely, went to bed early, and went to work at the same normal time the next day as the original owner.
The original owner's presence in the palace was very low at the beginning, otherwise her secret preparation of medicine for Zhen Huan would not have been possible so smoothly.
More than half a month later, Zhen Huan and others entered the palace. A few days later, Huanbi, who served Zhen Huan, came to find Wen Shichu and said with a look of superiority, "My mistress asks you to go to Suiyuxuan to see her."
In Huanbi's heart, Wen Shichu would never refuse Zhen Huan, so she spoke very confidently, as if she was getting a good deal for Wen Shichu.
Wen Shichu sat at his workstation and when he looked up he saw Huanbi's undisguised arrogance.
He pretended to be curious and asked her, "You are just a small servant, why do you have no respect for me, a royal physician? Are all the servants of the Zhen family like this?"
Indeed, Huanbi knew that she was Zhen Yuandao's illegitimate daughter, so she looked down on An Lingrong and often mocked her. Not only An Lingrong, but other masters also did not seem to respect her much. If she had not followed Zhen Huan, I am afraid that Huanbi would not have enough lives to live.
Wen Shichu's attitude towards others has always been "if you respect me, I will respect you". Seeing Huanbi's behavior, he was already good-tempered enough not to retort.
Wen Shichu was familiar with the plot and knew that Zhen Huan was fine, so he didn't care too much. After asking the above questions, he picked up the medical book at his workstation and started studying.
As the saying goes, learning never ends. Even though he claims to be a descendant of traditional Chinese medicine, he will not be arrogant and think that he is the best. He still needs to practice.
What he was studying was the treatment method for the epidemic in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that stumped a large number of people.
Although there were hints in the plot, Wen Shichu didn't remember this kind of thing very clearly, so he reviewed it so that it would be convenient for him to come forward when the time comes.
Although standing out might increase the chances of something going wrong, but...
If I can be promoted to court judge, my salary will be much higher than that of an ordinary imperial physician!
Slurp, getting excited just thinking about it.
When his salary is high, he will marry a wife, and he won’t let her suffer and have to eat coarse food with him.
Huanbi's sensitive self-esteem was hurt by Wen Shichu's servile remarks. She gritted her teeth and didn't fight back. She thought indignantly:
She is different from ordinary servants. She is the daughter of Zhen Yuandao. How can she be compared to an ordinary servant?
What does Wen Shichu, an ordinary imperial physician with no future, know?
Why does he look down on her?
Huanbi opened her mouth to question, but knew she couldn't reveal herself. She felt extremely frustrated and glared at Wen Shichu and said:
"Are you really not going?"
"Well, since you have no respect for me, I won't bother to please you. I'll just go and ask other imperial physicians." Wen Shichu glanced at Huanbi and rolled his eyes at her.
Huanbi nearly fainted from anger, her chest heaving. Under Wen Shichu's displeased gaze, she reluctantly saluted: "I was wrong. I was just too angry. I didn't mean to disrespect you. I'm sorry."
She couldn't act on impulse, as her elder sister was still waiting for Wen Shichu's help.
Zhen Huan said that she didn't want a hot or cold imperial physician, but a warm one, so Huanbi had to ask him to go back even if she had to grit her teeth.
"Well, I don't forgive you. Please go away and don't disturb me while I'm reading."
Wen Shichu chased people away.
Huanbi: “…”
Huanbi was so angry that she fell backwards, her fingers trembling. Others noticed the commotion and came over to join in the fun. Huanbi felt that her face was being pressed to the ground by Wen Shichu, and she turned around and left in embarrassment.
Wen Shichu continued to study his disease and the possibility of various treatments.
