Qingzhi and Qian Liu returned to their house, and before they arrived at the door of the house, they saw an old woman wearing a coarse cloth blue background embroidered pink plum shirt in front of the door looking up at the big characters "Doctor Benevolence" written on the sign on the door of her house.

The old woman muttered as she watched, "Look at this number, it should be here." ”

Qingzhi thought that she was coming to see a doctor, and she was anxious again, and asked, "Grandma, are you here to see a doctor?" ”

Once this kind of old woman comes to see a doctor, it is mostly an ugly serious illness. Because in this Jiangbei city, people wearing coarse cloth clothes, especially the elderly, will not seek medical advice unless they have to.

The old woman smiled and said, "No." ”

Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"And what are you here for?" Qingzhi saw that her legs and feet were inconvenient, so she stepped forward to help her.

"I'm here to talk to Mrs. Guo."

Qingzhi thought that the old woman was known to her mother, so she carefully helped the old woman into the courtyard all the way, and escorted her to her mother Guo's room.

While the mother and the old woman were chatting inside, Aoeda wandered around the outer room with nothing to do. She had questions to ask Guo, so she didn't leave for the time being.

After the old woman finished chatting and left, Qingzhi walked to the room where her mother was, first put aside her doubts, and asked her mother, "Mother, what is this old grandmother here for?" ”

"I'll kiss you." Mother chuckled.

"What, say pro?" Qingzhi was shocked.

"yes, it's time for you to talk about your family."

"Whose son is that?"

Qingzhi thought that if the other party was a well-informed son and fit his eyes, it would be good to marry.

Once, when she was studying, what she longed for the most was the ancient Mo Shangshang's jade-like son.

She sketched in her mind the picture of loving and respecting each other with a beautiful son.

Just when I was thinking about it, I only heard Guo Shi say: "Which family's son?" What do you want? Which one in Jiangbei City came to tell you the matchmaker, not the girl from which family? ”

"What? Girl? ”

"Yes, it's hard to see which son someone else will come to introduce you."

The beautiful picture in her imagination suddenly shattered, and Aoeda felt that she was a little ...... I can't bear it.

Following this topic, she asked what she had been wanting to ask just now: "Mother, can you tell me why my father dressed me as a boy since I was a child?" ”

Guo Shi glanced at her suspiciously, "You asked a few years ago, didn't I tell you at that time?" ”

"I forgot. Mother, tell me again. ”

"Okay, okay, mother, I'll say it again." Guo Shi said and sighed, "Well, I really want to blame your father for being confused and hurting you at the time." ”

Guo fell into reminiscence, and said while reminiscing: "Eighteen years ago, when my mother was just pregnant with you, everyone would ask him when they met your father: Is your mother pregnant with a son or a daughter this time?" Your father always answered in no uncertain terms, "Son! ”

"Why did he think it must be a son?" Qingzhi was puzzled.

"After he conceived you, every time he dreamed, he dreamed of a boy smiling at him. So he thought it was God telling him that he was going to have a son. ”

"Even so, after I came out, I was a girl, and he shouldn't deceive the world."

"If only it were that simple. Your father is a practitioner of medicine, and our Confucian family all hope that he will not be able to give birth to a son, so that he can inherit his medical skills. Because they believe that if they pass on their medical skills to their daughters, they will pass them on to outsiders in the future. But your father doesn't want to be led by the nose. His medical skills are excellent, but he learned them by reading books and traveling around, the Kong family is not an ancestral doctor, except for your father, no one in the other family understands medicine. He learned the medical skills of his own children, but he was forced to pass them on to those own families, can he be willing? Therefore, after you were born, he decided to raise you as a son first, so as to silence the mouths of those families, and when you grew up, he could find someone he liked and pass on his medical skills, instead of being forced to pass them on to those families. ”

"But what do I do? Am I going to be a man for the rest of my life? ”

"Then how come, when the time is right, your father will reveal your identity to the world."

"When is the right time?"

"When he finds a person who is talented, loves medical skills, and has medical ethics, he will reveal your identity."

"But when will that be?"

"He has been traveling every two years since you were ten years old, not only to improve his medical skills, but also to do so. That person, I don't know if I can find it, if you find that person, you will be too late. ”

"What does it have to do with finding that person and my old Zhuhuang?"

"That man will be your husband." Guo's tone couldn't be calmer anymore, as if it was a natural thing.

"What? It's ......," she shouted, and the rest of the words were unspeakable in front of Guo's face.

"Simply what? Didn't you agree with it before? Guo was surprised. This daughter, who used to obey everything she said and never resisted, now seems to have become a little less obedient.

"I agreed before? If that person is talented, loves medicine, and has medical ethics, but is not the type I like, how can I agree? ”

Guo sighed, "It's not that you haven't thought about being a mother when you say it, but compared to your father's medical career, you can only do this." You also know that it is extremely difficult to find such a person. If he can meet any conditions, but just turn him away just because it doesn't suit your eyes, then isn't your father's years of work in vain? You can't bear to disappoint him? ”

"You can pass on your medical skills to him, and it has nothing to do with me, and whether my identity is to be made public or not has nothing to do with him."

"Your father passed on his medical skills so that he could pass them on to his descendants, even if that offspring was a grandson, it was better than passing them on to his own family."

Qingzhi was silent.

But she will never follow this step, if her father finds a husband outside to meet her eyes, otherwise, she would rather die than marry.

However, these things are still a long time away, and she doesn't want to bother thinking about them, and she doesn't want to offend her mother at this time.

Guo Shi saw that she was no longer silent, thinking that he had convinced her.

"You're still going to see that girl. It's also a great way to keep your identity hidden. If you don't see a girl, everyone in Jiangbei City will doubt your identity. ”

"Don't worry, I'll see you."

Regarding the blind date with a girl, the reason why Qingzhi agreed was because she thought that maybe the blind date was quite fun, that is, she could pass the boring time in ancient times, and she could temporarily disguise her identity, so why not?

Anyway, if you don't agree with it after seeing it, you just have to do it.

Seeing that she agreed, Guo Shi hurriedly wrote a note and sent Ding Konghai to the old woman's house just now.

Qingzhi walked through the verandah, from her mother's room to her own, and began to read the heavy and yellowed medical books again.

When he saw it in the middle of noon, he remembered the scene in Lu Shikang's room this morning, and muttered to himself in his heart: "Did he see something?" ”

No, when will she go to the Lu Mansion to test and tempt again in the name of practicing medicine.

After all, it is extremely dangerous for such a gentleman to see his true identity.

Because he has a wide range of contacts and many fox friends and dog friends, if he knows, it may soon spread throughout Jiangbei City.
