I saw Xiao Mu sitting on a chair, his eyes a little dull, and he even forgot to eat the tea in his hand, so I knew that he must be thinking of King An again.
I don’t know exactly what happened in Maweipo back then, but I heard rumors that the Forbidden Army mutinied and Concubine Yang hanged herself. Later, King An also buried his body in the Weihe River.
I remember that when I first made friends with Song Erlang, he mentioned the imperial envoy and King An. He also speculated that King An’s death might be related to the current saint. My mother immediately stopped me, so I didn’t ask in detail. Hey, there is a saying that "
"The most ruthless emperor's family". There are so many things competing for favor and power, but what can we common people do?
"People cannot be resurrected. It has been three years and you are still thinking about King An. King An has a friend like you, so this life is not in vain."
I comforted, feeling a little sad for no reason. Prince An is Xiao Mu’s friend, and I am also Xiao Mu’s friend. So, after all, do I also have some ties to the royal family?
However, although King An had a noble status, he died an untimely death at an early age. In the palace of Nuo Da, he regarded Xiao Mu as his confidant. So how did he live when Xiao Mu was not around? Maybe he was not as happy as me.
"Brother Mu, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, you can cry. We will help you guard so that no one can see it." Du Xiuzhen said softly, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, waiting for the child to
Mu cried and handed it over.
"It's okay, why are you crying?" Xiao Mu smiled, and suddenly he seemed to be a different person, all the sorrow disappeared. He put the cup on the corner of the table and looked at Du Xiuzhen: "You are looking for me, are you okay?
?”
"I..." Du Xiuzhen was a little hesitant. The formation that was about to demolish the door had long since disappeared. She bit her lip, raised her head and looked at Xiao Mu carefully, and then said softly: "I just want to say, in fact, Xian'er
My sister is just deceiving herself and others by asking for marriage in the whole city this time. She...actually the only person she really loves in her heart is Brother Li."
What? Does Mrs. Mu still love Li Huichun? Then why did she ask for marriage? Could it be that she was really forced by little Mu?
"Oh? Who does Madam Mu love in her heart, and how did you know it?" A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Mu's mouth.
"Of course I know. I live in Huichun Hall and am with Brother Li every day. In the days when our medical center opened, we held free clinics for three days in a row. Sister Xian'er distributed steamed buns and served porridge outside the medical center every day.
The purpose of attracting people to come to see a doctor is to expand the reputation of Huichun Hall.
But Brother Li lost his memory. Not only did he forget everything he had with Sister Xianer, he also married Sister Xueyan and Xinyan.
Originally, Sister Xianer wanted to start over with Brother Li, but Sister Xueyan was very defensive. She would make trouble with Brother Li every now and then, which often made Brother Li very upset.
Xinyan was less than one year old, how could Brother Li let his daughter grow up in the quarrels of her parents? So, Brother Li took the initiative to go to the inn to find Sister Xian'er.
I don’t know what Brother Li said to Sister Xian’er, but it must have been extremely heartless words. Because since then, Sister Xian’er has never appeared in Huichun Hall again, and she also quickly got close to Qin Yong...
Do you think Sister Xian'er and Sister Qin Yong are compatible? If Aunt Zhu hadn't tried every means to hinder them, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to be together. Because she just wanted Brother Li and Sister Xueyan to feel at ease.
Sister Xian'er's purpose of seeking marriage this time is the same. It doesn't matter who she chooses, as long as there is someone who can marry her. Then there will be no possibility of her getting back together with Brother Li.
She also arranged for a physical examination, and the designated medical center was Huichun Tang. In this way, Huichun Tang became famous. Brother Li can rest assured to become a famous doctor."
I heard what Du Xiuzhen said so plausibly, and I became excited for a moment: "Doctor Du, are you saying that Mrs. Mu's proposal for marriage this time is actually to completely separate her relationship with Dr. Li, and also to help Dr. Li become famous?"
"Isn't it?" Du Xiuzhen sighed: "As of today, more than 1,600 people have made appointments for physical examinations in Spring Hall. Each person is only charged two cents for the consultation, which adds up to more than three taels of silver.
.Some people who were diagnosed with other diseases were rejuvenated by Brother Li, who was cured by the medicine. He has high medical ethics and has received many praises. Now he is almost as famous as Dr. Du in Xiangzhou City."
Xiao Mu was twirling the cup in his hand, but remained silent. To be honest, I hate his pretentious look the most.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I poked his arm with my elbow.
Xiao Mu smiled faintly again, staring at Du Xiuzhen: "You have told me so much, what do you want to say? What should I do?"
"Return the purse to Sister Xian'er." Du Xiuzhen said, her face suddenly turned red: "Since you know she doesn't have you in her heart, why are you so persistent?"
"Yes, since you know that I don't have you in my heart, why are you still so persistent?" Xiao Mu asked back. When Du Xiuzhen didn't answer, he looked at me again: "What about you? Li Jianghu, what do you want to see me for?
?”
"Me? I...It's okay. Du...Doctor Du asked me to accompany her." When I saw Xiao Mu suddenly asking a question, I became inexplicably nervous. This Xiao Mu's eyes were so bright, please don't read my thoughts.
ah.
"Haha, you just listen to this little girl?" Xiao Mu laughed: "Are you still afraid that she won't let you make an appointment for a physical examination?"
"I...I actually..." I didn't know how to say it. The matter of signing up for a marriage proposal made me feel particularly embarrassed for some reason. I don't know if it was the inferiority complex I felt when I faced Madam Mu, or whether it was the feeling of inferiority I felt when I faced Mrs. Mu.
My mother and others ridiculed me for thinking that relying on women is like eating soft food, which made me feel a little ashamed.
"It's just fair competition. You don't need to bring her to disturb the situation." Xiao Mu's tone was a little unhappy: "I regard you as friends, but I also have my own plans. Maybe we haven't been dating long enough, and you are not
Know me very well.
I will tell you clearly today: Once I am determined to do something, I will do it no matter what, no one can persuade me."
"Brother Mu..." Du Xiuzhen's mouth dropped, and two tears fell uncontrollably.
"Don't you still want to make an appointment at the Huichun Hall? That's just in time. Help me take Dr. Du back." Xiao Mu said to me, picking up the "Taibai Poetry Collection" on the table and reading it as if no one else was there.
The two people in front of me were crying silently, and the other was reading silently. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. I had never felt so stupid, and my tongue was numb for a moment, and I didn't know what to say.
After a while, Du Xiuzhen finally couldn't hold on any longer and ran out sobbing and covering her face.
"Hey! Du..." I looked back at Xiao Mu: "Then I'll leave first!"
This Xiao Mu was really hard-hearted, and he was unmoved by the grief of a woman like this. Since he regarded me as a friend, I should help him to persuade him. I softened my heart and chased after him.
I have to say that this girl really has some physical strength. She ran to the Rainbow Bridge on the Qingchuan River in one breath before stopping. I saw her holding on to the railing of the bridge and looking at the river in trance. I was afraid that she would do something stupid because of her confusion, so I hurried
He took three steps and then two steps to reach her.
"Doctor Du...Doctor Du, are you okay?" I took a deep breath and thought about how to persuade her to go back.
"I just feel uncomfortable." Du Xiuzhen said, lying on the bridge pier and crying bitterly: "Why do you think Brother Mu just doesn't like me?"
"This..." I couldn't answer, so I asked: "Then... why does he like you?"
"Because I like him! I've fallen in love with him since the first time I saw him! Three years later, I... wu wu wu..." Du Xiuzhen swallowed more, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears haphazardly.
Three years! I found the keyword. Isn’t this girl only fifteen years old? I’ve liked Xiao Mu for three years!
"Um...you and Xiao Mu...how long have you known each other? How did you meet?"
Du Xiuzhen had cried enough for a while, sighed longly, and then slowly said: "Brother Mu is my savior. In the spring three years ago, I went to Chang'an with Aye. That day, Aye went to visit the great uncle.
, leaving two guys at the inn to take care of me. I was just having fun and ran away, but I met a bad guy and was sold to a brothel."
"Ah? What happens next?"
"Brother Mu was also in the brothel that night. He paid for my redemption and sent me back to the inn. I was still young at the time and didn't understand the relationship between men and women. I just felt that he made me feel at ease and special.
warmth."
I was shocked. I didn’t expect this girl to have such a thrilling experience. I didn’t expect Xiao Mu to be her savior. She was saved in a brothel... Did Xiao Mu love to visit brothels in the past? Did she really go there to be romantic and happy? Or was it intentional?
Pretending to be cynical to protect yourself?
"But now that I have grown up and Brother Mu is still single, why can't I like him?" Du Xiuzhen yelled at me.
I was a bit dumbfounded: "I didn't say you can't like him. The key is that this relationship is mutual, you have to make him like you too."
"Let him like me?" Du Xiuzhen stood up straight, tilted her head and thought for a while, seeming to have a little more confidence: "As the saying goes, a man chases a woman across a mountain, and a woman chases a man across a veil. I will definitely let him
She also likes me."
"Well, that's right. Then I'll wait to eat your wedding wine!" Seeing that the little girl thought about it on her own, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay. Come with me, and I'll give you my stamp. You're so good-looking, honest, kind, and hard-working. Sister Xian'er will definitely like it. You must compare with Brother Mu."
!”
Du Xiuzhen acted swiftly and resolutely, dragging me back to Huichun Hall, and instantly gave me a physical examination form marked with "passed".
"Is this enough?" I glanced at the "competitors" lined up on one side and felt a little incredible.
Du Xiuzhen looked around, pulled me aside, and then whispered: "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone see me."
"But I haven't had a physical examination yet."
"Didn't Brother Li check your pulse not long ago? I read the record and it didn't say you had any other problems."
"That's it. But... wouldn't it be unfair?" I was still a little embarrassed. After all, it was equivalent to jumping in the queue through the back door and not even paying two pennies for the consultation.
"Where does absolute fairness come from in this world? Didn't Brother Mu get the purse? When did he sign up? Did he come to make an appointment for a physical examination? Humph, you didn't go directly to see Sister Xian'er and ask for the purse."
Du Xiuzhen said angrily, "It tastes sour." This chapter has been completed!
