Chapter 54 Conditions
"I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince has promised a thousand gold, since he promised the little girl, I believe that His Royal Highness should not regret it." Gu Qingwan smiled brightly, which made Ji Han feel very dazzling.
"This son naturally counts, but this son is quite looking forward to what means Miss Gu will use to achieve her goals." The implication is to satirize Gu Qingwan for unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, Ji Han thought clearly, it is a good thing for him to withdraw from the marriage, but he wants to know what means Gu Qingwan, a scheming woman, will use to break the marriage contract.
Gu Qingwan understood it, but he didn't care about Ji Han's sarcasm, Ji Han was really right, Gu Qingwan would really do whatever it took to achieve his goal, and he would know what means he would use to help him dissolve this marriage that hindered his eyes.
"Liu Yixu will come back in three days, and you will go directly to him when the time comes." Ji Han left this sentence and left.
Three days later, Gu Qingwan took Ziyu to Hua'an Medical Center early in the morning, Hua'an Medical Center is located in an alley on Zhuque Street in Shengjing, where some ordinary people live, and the shops in it are also sold to ordinary people, with good quality and low price. Hua'an Medical Center is an ordinary medical hall located on this West Street, but few people know that there is a man with superb medical skills in it.
In her previous life, Gu Qingwan vaguely knew about Liu Yixu, although the main reason was that he had been to the Li Mansion to treat his cousin. and heard from my grandmother, knowing that Liu Yixu's medical skills are superb but extremely low-key.
The carriage drove into the alley of Suzaku Street, Gu Qingwan wore a veil, and followed Ziyu into the Hua'an Medical Center. Hua'an Medical Center does not look big, but the purpose of the entrance is its door plaque and open door, the counter for taking medicine, and the tables and chairs for seeing a doctor, which are on the left and right sides of the house. An old doctor, who looked old, was sitting there to see a doctor, and a fellow was next to him who was particularly skilled in grabbing medicine. The whole shop could be seen when it looked over, and there didn't seem to be a third figure except for the old doctor and the guy.
"Miss, are we in the wrong place?" Ziyu looked inside, and immediately frowned and spoke.
"It's not wrong to go, just go in and ask?"
There were only a few patients in the medical hall, and when they saw the girl who suddenly came in and thought they were exquisitely dressed and looked like the daughter of a big family, followed by a maid, they all looked at the two of them curiously. Ziyu walked up to the old doctor, opened her mouth and asked, "Old man, may I ask if there is a person named Liu Yixu here?" β
The old doctor did not lift his head, his eyes were still half-closed, and he treated the patient in front of him as if he had not seen her at all. Ziyu's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she continued to ask patiently.
"Old gentleman, let's look for Liu Yixu!"
"Line up!"
The old man seemed to have finished checking his pulse, and then he slowly raised his head and spit out a sentence coldly.
"You old gentleman is reallyβ"
"Okay Ziyu, don't be disrespectful to the old gentleman, let's line up first." Gu Qingwan hurriedly spoke out to stop it, Ziyu is a girl with a violent temper, don't make a fuss and anger others. Looking at this old gentleman's demeanor, unhurried temperament, and old-fashioned attitude, he should be a master. Could it be that this old gentleman will be Liu Yixu's master?
Regardless, it seems that she is definitely not in the wrong place. There are no people in the medical hall now, Gu Qingwan and the others are in the last position, and there are only two people in front of them, so they can't wait long.
After waiting for a while, a slender figure suddenly appeared at the door, and the old gentleman suddenly raised his head, got up and said respectfully, "Master, you are back." β
As soon as his words came out, Gu Qingwan and Ziyu were taken aback, this old gentleman is so old, his master is still there, isn't that a hundred-year-old Renrui? The eyes of the two of them looked towards the door in unison, and their jaws were about to fall out in surprise!
The man at the door, who looked to be no more than in his early twenties, was dressed in coarse linen clothes, tall and slender, with an ordinary face, calm and wooden, this wouldn't be Liu Yixu, right?
"Are you Mr. Liu Yixu?" She asked tentatively.
The man nodded, "It was Ji Han who told you to come today." β
"Yes."
Gu Qingwan hurriedly spoke, his eyes fell lightly on her, and he said calmly: "Come with me." β
Liu Yixu strode forward, and there was a courtyard at the back of the medical hall, and Gu Qingwan and Ziyu followed him in. The courtyard is not large, and there are herbs planted on all sides, leaving only a path for one person to walk. At the end of the courtyard is a room, Liu Yixu walked straight in, the furnishings inside are simple, except for the desk and a warm collapse, there are rows of bookshelves, and on the opposite side are piles of medicinal herbs, neatly placed, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
"Sit down!" Liu Yixu opened his mouth lightly, and he also sat at the desk, looking at the girl with a white veil mask, with a deep expression: "I heard Ji Han say that you want to ask me to help you heal someone, since you know me, you must also understand that if you want me to save people, you must agree to me on one condition." β
"Please." Gu Qingwan was mentally prepared.
Liu Yixu's expression was indifferent, as if there would be no other expression on that face except indifference, and he lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, "From tomorrow, you must be a medicine boy in Hua'an Medical Center for a month, and every afternoon when Shen Shi arrives in You, you can't be late, let alone leave early." β
"No way!"
"How can this be!"
Ziyu's voice sounded with her, and the little girl looked at the man in front of her angrily, "How can Mr. put forward such an excessive condition?" As a young lady in our family, how can she be a medicine boy? β
"Ziyu, shut up!"
scolded her harshly, Gu Qingwan straightened her face, although she knew that Ziyu was for her good, but now on an occasion like this, it would be bad for her to speak like this as a maid, in case she angered Liu Yixu and blamed her.
"This γγγ is!"
Ziyu made a bitter face and didn't speak, but glared at the cold-blooded man fiercely.
"Mr. Liu Yixu, my maid is so rude, I hope you don't blame. Your conditions are indeed a bit difficult for me, I wonder if I can mention anything else? Gu Qingwan spoke softly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes. It's not that she doesn't want to be a medicine boy, but her identity doesn't allow it, if she is discovered by the second room, how will she explain all this? The Lu family and daughter can't wait to catch her, if they know, I don't know how it will ruin her reputation, then her hard work to wash away her arrogant reputation in the circle of noble girls will not be in vain. The most important thing is that she is a woman, how can she run to the hospital every day, although the Great Zhou is also considered to be open to the people, but the eldest lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion actually surrendered her identity to be a medicine boy in the medical hall, and spread her reputation or not.
"My conditions will never change, and whether or not I can do it is none of my business. If it's okay, please, I'm going to be busy. β
Speaking coldly, Liu Yixu directly ordered the eviction, looking at his indifferent look, Gu Qingwan knew that this man would never change his decision. Biting her lip, she got up, saluted Liu Yixu slightly, and left the Hua'an Medical Center with Ziyu.
"Miss, this Liu Yixu is too much! Mr. Yet, I think he's a cold-blooded and ruthless guy at all! Didn't he know how important a woman's reputation was? I still want you to be a medicine boy and come into contact with those rough people in the market every day! Miss, you must not promise him! β
"What if you can't say yes? Ziyu, I must let him treat my cousin's leg. If you miss this time, you may never have a chance again. That's what I owe him, besides, since I have sworn to complete the conditions set by Liu Yixu no matter how difficult it is. How can you easily back down from this? Gu Qingwan shook her head, a hint of firmness flashed in her eyes, "I'll think of a way." β
"But Miss, is he the only doctor in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Can't we find someone else? β
"Maybe there are other doctors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the one who can cure my cousin may be the only one now."
Gu Qingwan lowered her head in frustration, her daily classes are arranged now, and the classes will end before the end of the afternoon every afternoon, plus the New Year is approaching, these masters will not come to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion often. A month later, it is about to be the New Year, and the second room will be even busier. The Lu family has regained the trust of the old lady, although the power of the family is in the hands of the Liu family, but the Lu family has been busy showing himself, and he must also help the Liu family prepare the New Year's gifts for various relatives, and he will not be free for a while. It's not impossible for her to find a chance to go out, the key is that there is also an equally free Gu Qingyue, if she finds an excuse to go to the Xiao Mansion, she will definitely come with her.
What should I do?
Gu Qingwan was thinking about this question all the way, and the carriage was halfway through when it suddenly stopped. Ziyu poked her head out and asked in a raised voice.
"Uncle Qin, what's going on?"
"Miss, there are too many people who go to Ganlu Temple to offer incense, and the road ahead is blocked. Wait a little longer! β
The New Year is approaching, and the incense of the temple is also particularly prosperous, seeking marriage, wealth, peace, health, and praying for the blessings of deceased relatives. It's no wonder that the roads at Ganlu Temple are blocked. In the past, when her mother was still alive, she would also take her to Ganlu Temple to offer incense and ask for peace charms. It's a pity that she will never have that day of prayer in anticipation for the coming year.
Gu Qingwan sighed softly, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside. A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, wasn't that a perfect excuse? The Lu family will definitely not doubt it, and the name is justified, Gu Qingyue will not have a dead face to follow the reason!
