Chapter 84: Cheng Wang (2)
Under the bright moonlight, Cheng Wang's handsome face was as cold as ice.
Mei Niang's heart swelled with familiar sourness and bitterness.
Two years ago, she had abdominal pain and thought she was going to die. As she was being carried into the military medical camp, this handsome man appeared in front of her and said to her gently, "Don't worry. Get some sleep and wake up all right. ”
She drank the drug and slept for half a day. When he woke up, the sore in his abdomen had been cut off, the wound had been carefully stitched up, the wound medicine was applied, and the wound was wrapped in clean gauze.
The handsome man who took care of her all night gently and patiently told her to rest: "The sores are gone, you can drink medicine to recuperate your injuries with peace of mind, and you will be able to heal in about a month." ”
A month later, she recovered. A heart fell on him.
She knew that he was the youngest and most promising military doctor, and he was a serious court medical officer.
No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a military prostitute. It's not worthy of Cheng Wang at all. She has never had the luxury of anything else, she just wants to comfort Cheng Wang, who has been widowed for many years, with her only body.
However, since she revealed her intention to recommend herself to the pillow, Cheng Wang has not pretended to her, ignored her, and was as cold as ice.
"Doctor Cheng," Mei Niang refused to give up, and opened her mouth to beg: "The slave family has no other intentions, they just want to serve you all night." Dew marriages abound in the army, why did Doctor Cheng refuse to live thousands of miles in the slave family? ”
The soldiers got a lot of money, and most of it was spent on military prostitutes.
The generals and generals in the army also have the habit of calling military prostitutes.
There are a few beautiful concubines around Ping Guogong who are waiting, but they don't touch military prostitutes. The general He Li, who did not have a beautiful concubine by his side, rotated several of the most beautiful military prostitutes in the summoning army.
The military doctors, also men, have left their homes and lived in the barracks for many years. It is also common to find military prostitutes.
Only Cheng Wang has never touched a military prostitute.
Clean, thirteen years as a day.
In the beginning, the military prostitutes would talk privately behind their backs and would always laugh about it. After a long time, no one made fun of Doctor Cheng anymore. Instead, there is an indescribable hope and envy for the deceased wife of Dr. Cheng.
In this world, it is a virtue for a woman to observe festivals for her deceased husband. How many men are willing to observe the festival for their deceased wives?
With such an affectionate and dedicated husband, it is worth dying young.
Mei Niang thought that she would never be able to marry in her life, nor would she have such a husband. It's also good to be a dewy couple.
But Cheng Wang was unwilling.
In the past two years, Cheng Wang's attitude towards her has never changed, and he has even become more and more cold and impatient.
All his affection was given to his deceased wife, and there was no room for any woman in his eyes. Even if he touched other women, he refused.
"I don't want to speak ill." Cheng Wang frowned, and his voice was cold: "Miss Mei, don't be entangled, let's go!" ”
……
Mei Niang left with red eyes.
Cheng Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang followed Chuan Bai and couldn't help but whisper: "Why should the son be so self-suffering." Mei Niang wanted to serve, so she let her stay. The young grandmother knows underground, and she won't blame the son......"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Wang glanced over coldly.
Chuan Bai was immediately silent.
Pei Wanru, the beloved wife who died early, is the deepest scar in Cheng Wang's heart. It's been thirteen years, and it still hasn't healed. The slightest touch hurts my heart.
Cheng Wang stood for a moment, calmed down, and then entered the camp.
He was a medical officer of the six grades, and he was entitled to live alone in a tent. The tent was full of medical books and prescriptions. On the pillow of the couch, there is a wooden box. In this wooden box, there was a thick stack of letters.
These are all letters written by her daughter Cheng Jinrong.
Since he became literate at the age of six, Cheng Jinrong has written a letter every month to send it. Twelve letters a year, seven years is eighty-four letters. Each letter was read several times, the paper yellowed and wrinkled, and then carefully flattened and folded again.
"By the way, Miss's letter has been delivered again." Chuan Bai slapped his head and almost forgot about this important matter: "Childe was seeing the wounded soldier at the time, and the servant put the letter in the box. ”
My daughter has a letter!
Cheng Wang's eyes lit up, he was exhausted, walked quickly to the bed, opened the wooden box, and took out the top letter. Can't wait to open the letter.
Unlike in the past, the letter was unusually thicker, and at a cursory glance, it was five pages long.
Cheng Wang hadn't read the content of the letter carefully, he had already laughed, and there was a happy light between his eyebrows and eyes.
The master was in a good mood, and Chuan Bai was also happy, and said with a smile: "The son will read the letter first, and the slave will go to boil some porridge." "There is a small stove outside the tent, and it is very convenient to make porridge and make some supper.
Cheng Wang hummed casually, and his eyes fell on the letterhead.
Father and daughter are separated by two places, thousands of miles apart. They can only be exchanged by letters. Occasionally, a small portrait of a young girl would be sandwiched between the letters. They were all solemnly put away by him.
It's March now, and when Jin Rong writes this letter, it's not too late!
The familiar handwriting came into view, and Cheng Wang's heart was hot as if he had been ironed with hot water.
……
"Dad, it's good to see Xin'an."
"When you received this letter, I had already returned to Cheng's house."
"I have lived in Pei's house for thirteen years. But the Pei family is a foreign family in the end, and I am growing up, so it is inconvenient to live in the Pei family. After that, I lived in Cheng's ......"
What's going on?
Why did Jinrong suddenly return home?
Could it be that she was mistreated in the Pei family?
Cheng Wang's heart sank, the smile on his face faded, and he continued to watch.
But Cheng Jinrong did not elaborate on the reason for leaving the Pei family, only saying that he would never return to the Pei family in the future. Immediately afterwards, he said that he would go to Huimin Pharmacy with his lobby brother for free consultation and hone his medical skills.
Huimin Pharmacy.
When Cheng Wang saw these four words, a sour tenderness surged in his heart.
When he was young, he talked to his newlywed wife about his ideals. I want to set up a medicine hall for the poor people to provide free medical treatment. Rumei asked him with a smile: "Then what is the name of your medicine hall?" ”
He pondered seriously for a moment, and responded: "If it benefits the people, it is called Huimin Pharmacy." ”
Rumei pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, you sit in the clinic and practice medicine, and I will take the medicine for you." ”
He smiled and took her into his arms.
A few years later, there was really a Huimin medicine hall in the capital.
His sister is like a sister, but she has slept in the cold underground.
Cheng Wang's eyes were red, and he covered his face with his sleeves.
After a while, Cheng Wang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand and continued to read.
"Dad, I don't want to live up to what I've learned. I have already told my uncle that I want to take the exam of the Tai Hospital, and I want to be the first female imperial doctor of the Great Chu Dynasty. Inherit and carry forward the medical skills that my father passed on to me. ”
"I don't want to get married, I don't want to be confined to a house. I want to devote all my time and energy to practicing medicine. I want to devote myself to the study of medicine and write a medical book that will be passed down to the next generation. ”
"If the Pei family writes a letter to propose marriage for Cousin Pei, my father doesn't have to pay attention to it."
"I just want to be alone, please fulfill my daughter's wish!"
