Chapter 597 Extra 9

After waiting for a while, there were footsteps and a creaking sound in the wing. Brother Fu ducked behind the courtyard door. He pretended to have just washed the dishes and placed the bowls on the wooden table against the wall.

, I turned around and saw the little lady coming out with her head lowered, holding a broken bowl in her hand, and her fair left face was red. She still had a cold face, and the sadness in her eyes could only be seen in happiness.

Brother sighed secretly, but he pretended not to notice, turned around and took out the medicine jar to wash.

When he came out again, he saw the young lady looking down at the dregs of medicine in the medicine jar and getting ready to fetch water. Apparently she wanted to fry the dregs of medicine again.

Brother Fu remained calm and raised his hand to her.

"Thank you, farewell!"

Then he turned around and went out. When he saw the clerk outside, he took out two copper coins.

"Brother, this is firewood money..."

The guy shook his head and waved his hands,

"No need, our shopkeeper has always been kind and helpful, and there are often people making medicine at our place, but we never take the money!"

After hearing this, Brother Fu turned around and saluted the doctor sitting in the hall.

"Thank you, doctor!"

The old lady smiled at him,

"Did you come to Beijing to take the exam?"

Brother Fu lowered his hands and responded,

"Exactly, when I first came to the capital, the weather suddenly changed. I couldn't bear the cold and caught wind and cold..."

After chatting with the old doctor like this, I found out that this kind old doctor's surname was Jian. He had been practicing medicine for generations and was very charitable. He often did not charge the poor for medical treatment. Therefore, this small medical clinic seemed to be doing a good business, but in fact it did not make much money.

Just the old doctor Jian and one of his apprentices can barely make ends meet!

Brother Fu asked again about the mother and daughter living in the backyard. Old doctor Jian sighed,

"People from other places came to the capital, saying they were looking for relatives, but they couldn't find them after three months of searching. The mother-in-law was sick again, and the daughter-in-law took good care of her. I just didn't know if the mother and daughter had any grudges. The mother-in-law

He often beats and scolds his daughter, but we, even outsiders, don’t have much advice!"

In fact, he had tried to persuade her, but the mother-in-law even scolded him. He, an old man in his late seventies, was getting involved with a young lady who had not even had hair extensions. Where could he put his old face?

Old Doctor Jian had never seen such rude women in his life. If he hadn't looked at them pitifully, he would have really wanted to let them go!

Brother Fu nodded after hearing this, took out a ten-tael silver note from his wallet and put it on the table.

"Old doctor, I gave these money lunch boxes to help their mother and daughter. I also ask the doctor to continue to take them in and provide them with medical treatment..."

Dr. Jian was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he became confused again and frowned.

"Young man, you are a person who wants to take the imperial examination, so you should put your mind on the imperial examination. That little lady is still young and has not yet had hairpins, so please restrain your thoughts of chasing beauty!"

This is not to blame for Dr. Jian’s misunderstanding. The little lady was really well-born. She usually hid in the backyard of her medical clinic, but she was inevitably seen by the patients who came for consultation. Some people even tried to inquire about it, but Dr. Jian gave it to her.

I blocked it and went back. I didn't expect that this gentle and gentle boy would have such thoughts. It was really a waste of time to read the book of sages!

After hearing this, Brother Fu not only wasn't angry, but also respected the old doctor more and more. He waved his hand and said,

"Doctor has misunderstood! Just keep the banknote, but please don't mention it to the mother and daughter. This matter is only known to you and me!"

Doctor Jian originally thought that he wanted to use this excuse to show his courtesy to the mother and daughter, but he didn't expect that he didn't want to show off. He was stunned at the moment.

"What are you..."

Brother Fu smiled and said,

"It's just a moment of compassion. Please don't say it out loud..."

Dr. Jian stroked his beard and nodded after thinking.

"good!"

Brother Fu thanked him and turned around to leave. When he returned to Aunt Six's house, Liulian asked him where he had been. Brother Fu only said that he had gone to the morning market and bought something casually on the roadside.

rice cakes for Liulian,

"I know Sixth Auntie likes to eat it, so I bought it here specially!"

Liulian was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth, so she took him and pulled him to sit down.

"Brother Fu, sit down quickly. I made the bone soup this morning. This stubble soup is the best. Just wait... Aunt Six will give you a spoonful of it!"

Brother Fu sat down and drank the soup, pretending to ask casually,

"Sixth Aunt, how many years have you been operating the medical clinic on the street?"

Liulian nodded,

"That Dr. Jian is an old doctor on this street. He said he has practiced medicine for three generations and opened a clinic here many years ago!"

After thinking about it for a while, he asked again,

"Brother Fu is feeling unwell?"

After saying that, he reached out and touched his forehead, and then touched his own.

"But if you catch a cold and feel unwell, let's go to the old doctor on the street to get some medicine. His medical skills are excellent. When your sixth aunt had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Zhishu, it was Doctor Jian who saved her life with a few doses of medicine...

"

Talking about what happened back then, Liulian kept talking non-stop. Brother Fu listened quietly while drinking soup, thinking of the young lady who lived in the hospital...

The days that followed were as calm as water. Fu Geer spent this year in the capital. The emperor who is now in power is actually a wise man. He has worked hard in these years to rectify the government and has done some good things for the people. Therefore, the people's lives have been better in the past few years.

Yes, this year's New Year's Eve is much more lively than in previous years.

Brother Fu was born different from ordinary people, and he still remembered his childhood memories. Now seeing the bustle of the capital city, his memories were immediately brought back, and he felt happy, so he went with his two brothers from the sixth aunt's family, one younger sister, and three from the fifth aunt's family.

A younger brother, a younger sister, two elder brothers and a younger brother from my third aunt's family, and more than a dozen cousins. The older one led the younger ones, and they went to the street cheering and cheering.

Nowadays, the sisters of the Jia family are doing well in business, and the family's financial resources are much richer than before. When the children go out on the street, their pockets are full of coins. Wang Xingye of the Sanlian family is already ten years old.

They were six, and Wang Xingbang was fourteen. They consciously took their younger brothers and sisters out to play, so they should naturally take care of them. They also worked hard to recommend delicious and fun things in the capital to their cousins ​​from the south.

After the cousins ​​walked through a long street, everyone's hands were full and they were eating and walking. Wang Xingye was tall. Although he could not read well, he was very strong. He should be the first to lead the way.

In the crowded crowd, he opened a way for his brothers and sisters. He pulled away from the crowd and pointed at the sign in front.

"That's the one...their fried cakes are the most delicious. Wait a minute...I'll buy some for you to try!"

Immediately, I buried my head and rushed forward, and the person disappeared into the crowd!

Brother Fu was protected by a group of brothers, brothers and sisters. He struggled to move forward in the crowd, and when he was squeezing and squeezing, he heard someone in the crowd shouting in surprise,

"Brother Xingye, Brother Zhishu, Brother Cheng'an... you... you are also here..."

Everyone turned around and saw a seven or eight year old girl holding another five or six year old girl by one hand, waving at them and saying with a smile,

"I was about to say I would look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Xingye hurriedly led everyone over, pulled Brother Fu over and said,

"Brother Fu, are these Tan'er and Dan'er from the seventh uncle's family?"

These are the two daughters born to the Guan family, Jia You's wife. They also have a younger son who is too young and is regarded as a treasure by the Guan family. The streets are crowded during this Chinese New Year, and the Guan family is naturally not happy.

Don't worry, her youngest son was going out, and her two eldest daughters were going out to join in the fun, so she sent two old ladies from home to follow. Tan'er and Dan'er saw Fu Ge'er hurrying up to salute, and after two introductions, they gathered together in one place, excited

He started talking chatteringly.

Brother Fu looked gentle and gentle on the outside, but he had a somewhat cold temperament on the inside. With more brothers and sisters, he found it too noisy, so he walked with her for half a day, then found an excuse to read and went into the bookstore.

Wang Xingye knew that his cousin was a very powerful scholar and had a different status. His mother had specifically told him to treat him well when he went out, so she did not stop him and allowed him to go to the bookstore to read.

Brother Fu hid in the bookstore and saw that there were already many scholars wearing long robes and Confucian scarves. They were all gentlemen, and they were all immersed in reading. Although there were many people in the huge bookstore, there were many people inside.

It was quiet and no one was making any noise.

Brother Fu paced and looked around, and unknowingly entered the inner room. He saw that there were seven or eight tables in the spacious room, and several people were sitting at the tables and copying books. At this time,

Most bookstores have this kind of book copying job. There is a literati who has no money to buy books and has learned to calligraphy well, so he goes to the bookstore to make a living by copying books. He can make money, study at the same time, and also

Practicing calligraphy really kills three birds with one stone.

The bookstore owners are also happy to do this. Firstly, they can hire cheap copyists. Secondly, if one of these scholars is famous on the list, their store will also benefit from it and its reputation will spread. No matter how many books they sell,

Even if they can't make money, they can kill two birds with one stone.

Brother Fu glanced over and saw a woman on the desk in the last desk. In such a bookstore, it was rare for a woman to copy books. He couldn't help but take a second look, because the woman was using it in public.

The face was covered with a veil, leaving only one eye exposed. Brother Fu had a good memory and could tell at a glance that she was the young lady from the drug store.

After meeting that day, he went to the hospital again the next day, only this time the young lady did not show up. He faintly heard the old woman's yelling and cursing in the hospital, and now he is in the hospital.

When I saw her in the bookstore, I couldn't help but take a second look.

The young lady noticed that someone was looking at her. She raised her head and met Brother Fu's eyes. She was stunned for a moment and seemed to recognize him. Brother Fu cupped his hands at her and turned away. The young lady looked at his tall and thin figure.
To be continued...
