Hua Sihui ran to the door of Ji Hanwei's house and knelt in the middle of the night. The old couple of the Hua family also stayed up all night worried.
Early the next morning, Hua Fujiu was almost awake.
The old couple were discussing whether they should send their son to sneak over to see what was going on. Doctor Ji should be getting up at this moment.
If Hua Sihui is still kneeling outside the door, something serious is wrong.
If you have already been let into the house, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Before the outcome of the discussion was reached, Hua Sihui turned pale and was sent home by the two medicine boys like a wandering soul.
"Uncle Hua, Aunt Hua, Doctor Ji asked me to send Miss Hua home." The tall medicine boy handed the bundle in his hand to Mother Hua and said, "Doctor Ji repeatedly told Miss Hua not to forget to apply heat to her knees.
If there’s nothing else, we’ll go back first.”
As soon as the two medicine boys came out of the door, Hua's father couldn't wait to ask: "Hui'er, what does Doctor Ji mean?"
"Master said yesterday that he would take me to Master's house. I have packed my luggage, but today he said he wouldn't take me with him. What do you mean?"
Hua Sihui's knees were hurting so much that she had just forced herself to move back. Now that there was no one else around, she immediately broke down and sat down on the ground, crying loudly.
The faces of Hua's father and Hua's mother also turned extremely pale in an instant.
At this time, Ji Hanwei had already embarked on her trip as planned.
When Yuan Xining got older, she took her family back to her husband's hometown of Xinhua County and lived a pastoral life like a seclusion.
Although Xinhua County is closer to Baoqing Prefecture than Changsha Prefecture, it is actually not too far away.
There is an ancestral home and land in her hometown, plus the wealth accumulated over most of her life, so she doesn't have to worry about food, drink and life at all.
In addition, the neighbors in her hometown did not know her identity as a famous doctor, and no one came to seek medical treatment, so Yuan Xinning lived a really comfortable and leisurely life in the past few years.
The apprentices were originally worried that she would not be able to adapt to her sudden change from busy to leisurely. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xining's mentality changed for the better, and she soon fell in love with the pastoral life of growing flowers, vegetables and medicinal herbs.
That day, Yuan Xinning, carrying a small medicine hoe, had just returned from the medicine field nearby when she saw a carriage parked beside the door of her house.
Now, it's not the year or the birthday, so why did you suddenly come here without even saying hello? Could something have happened?
Yuan Xining pushed the door into the hospital with some worry and asked, "Is Hanwei here?"
"Master!" The last time Ji Hanwei came here was during the Chinese New Year, and she hadn't seen her for more than half a year. Now she suddenly saw her master. All the grievances she had felt over the past two months came to her heart instantly, and her voice became even louder.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xining was already worried, but seeing her like this, he became even more anxious. He threw away the medicine hoe in his hand and hurriedly walked to her side.
At this time, Yuan Xining had all kinds of bad thoughts flashing through her mind.
After all, as a doctor, you will inevitably encounter times when you are unable to do what you do.
Was it a misdiagnosis that resulted in a death? Or was the patient's family coming to cause trouble?
Although Ji Hanwei is not her close disciple, she is the youngest female disciple.
Not only did Yuan Xining have a strong preference for her, the senior brothers and sisters in front of her also took great care of this little junior sister, so they spoiled Ji Hanwei to have a slightly squeamish personality.
Yuan Xining herself knew that this was not good, but as people get older, they unconsciously want to pamper their juniors.
Fortunately, although Ji Hanwei is a bit squeamish, her medical skills and conduct are still good, so she usually doesn't worry too much.
So seeing her pitiful appearance now, Yuan Xining immediately felt distressed.
"Come over here. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly. Don't be in a hurry." She didn't know what happened yet, but Yuan Xining couldn't help but started to comfort her, "Master is not too old to move yet. You still have something above you."
There are so many senior brothers and sisters, and if everyone lends a hand, what else can happen?"
Ji Hanwei came here to seek help and comfort, and she had nothing to hide from her master. From the first time she heard about Lady Tong's reputation, and when she talked about being insulted when she went to Yongzhou Mansion, she wanted to give Lady Tong a little help.
Looking for some trouble, you never thought it would end up like this.
At the end of the sentence, just like he did when he was still young, he threw himself into Yuan Xinning's arms and started crying.
But after listening to her grievances and swallowing her whole story, Yuan Xining's expression changed again and again. At this time, she felt complicated and didn't know what to say at all. She could only raise her hand to pat her apprentice's back.
Soothe her mood.
"Okay, okay, you are so old, and you are still crying in Master's arms. If people see you, they should laugh at you."
Ji Hanwei sobbed twice more before pulling herself out of Yuan Xining's arms. She knew without thinking that the makeup on her face must have been stained with tears. She lowered her head and wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief.
"Stop wiping, your face is red. Follow me into the house and wash your face. Take it easy first."
After Yuan Xining moved back, she only briefly cleaned and repaired the ancestral house, basically maintaining its original simplicity.
Although it looks inconspicuous, it is actually warm in winter and cool in summer. As soon as you enter the door, it seems that the heat outside is separated, and the refreshing feeling hits your face.
Ji Hanwei washed her face with cool well water, and after wiping the water off her face, she finally calmed down and looked at Yuan Xining in embarrassment.
Yuan Xining patted her side and said, "Come and sit down, you are already a mother, why are you still acting like a child!"
"Disciple will always be a child in front of you!" Ji Hanwei said coquettishly without any burden. After that, she said worriedly, "Master, what happened this time..."
Yuan Xining waved her hands and said: "It's a rare trip back, so I won't mention these unhappy things today. You cool off first. I'll take you to see the vegetables and herbs I grew later. Let's pick some vegetables and come back."
I will cook for you myself in the evening."
It was naturally impossible for Ji Hanwei to just let go, but Yuan Xining's words of "come back" made her feel warm in her heart. She instantly felt that she was not alone, and her mood improved a lot.
The two of them sat in the house and drank tea for a while. Seeing that the sun was not so bright outside, they put on their straw hats and baskets and went out to stroll around the vegetable fields near their home.
It was the harvest season, and the two people's baskets were quickly filled.
The green fields as far as the eye could see also calmed Ji Hanwei's mood a lot, and finally she went to see the herbs planted by Yuan Xin Ning with great interest.
In the evening, she helped Yuan Xining cook together, as if she had returned to the time when she was still an apprentice under her.
After having a lively simple dinner with the whole family, Ji Hanwei ran to find Yuan Xining with her pillow in her arms like she did when she was a child.
Yuan Xin Ning was certain that she would come, and half of the bed had been vacant waiting for her.
"I knew you were coming. Fortunately, the bed in my hometown is big, so it doesn't have to be so crowded like before. Come on up!"
Ji Hanwei climbed into bed and originally wanted to talk about something after lying down, but smelling the aroma of the newly dried quilt, the messy thoughts in her mind gradually went away. She felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she soon fell asleep.
Looking at the bruises under Ji Hanwei's eyes, Yuan Xining couldn't help but sigh. This child probably hasn't slept well for several days, otherwise he wouldn't have even drank the slight tranquilizing medicine he put in the tea.
.
This is just right, let’s have a full sleep first.
You can't do anything big without sleeping. The more tired you are, the more confused your mind will be, and the less clear you will be. You have to wait until you wake up to talk about anything.
But after blowing out the candles, Yuan Xining, who usually had a very regular schedule, fell asleep for the first time, and couldn't help but think about Lady Tong in Ji Hanwei's mouth.
Under the banner of being a descendant of the Jiang family and using a name like Mrs. Tong, it is difficult not to remind her of her late best friend Jiang Tong.
