Chapter 9: Rumors
On the other end of the story, as Si followed Li Youning's instructions, pretending to be people who came to see the doctor lined up in a long line. In front of her is an aunt holding a child, looking at the child's age, but it is only three or four years old, that is, her face is sallow and sick.
The child was lying on the shoulders of the aunt, staring directly at the packets of small snacks wrapped in oiled paper that Rusi was carrying in her hand, all of which were loved by the young lady and bought by the way on the way here.
Rusi picked it up and shook it, and asked in a low voice, "Want to eat?" ”
The child nodded vigorously, and Rusi opened one of the packets, took a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to him.
Seeing this, the aunt hurriedly said, "Girl, don't ...... no."
"Auntie, I also have a younger brother of about the same age, looking at your child, I think of my younger brother, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and now he should be about the same height as yours." Rusi's big eyes flickered, his brows furrowed slightly, and in an instant, it seemed to be a mist between his eyebrows.
The eldest aunt sighed and said, "Although you can't see Brother Ling from time to time, at least he is healthy, unlike this one in my family...... Alas, sorrow! ”
Suddenly, a look of hope flashed in his eyes, and he said happily: "But now it's okay, I heard that this Doctor Chen used to be an imperial doctor. You know the Imperial Doctor, right? It is to treat the princess and princess in the palace, and the medical skills are good. ”
"Really? I also heard about it, so I came to take a look, but I don't know if it's true or not. Rusi asked anxiously.
"Really!" The aunt looked around, approached Rusi, and Rusi consciously stretched her head over.
"I heard that the young lady in the Shen Mansion committed suicide by eloping with someone and jumping into the river, and the other doctors all said that they were hopeless, and they all lost their breath, and Lord Shen gave up. Who knows, this Dr. Chen took a look in the past, took a pulse, and said that he was saved. opened a pharmacy, then Miss Shen woke up the next day, don't you say it's magical? ”
When Rusi heard this, she almost jumped out and scolded Dr. Chen and smashed his signboard, but she also knew that she couldn't cause trouble for Miss.
"Is there such a miraculous thing? But how do you know so much about the Shen Mansion? Rusi had a gossip face, and handed a piece of hibiscus cake to the child, the child has a bad appetite these days, it is rare to eat happily, and the aunt is in a good mood, so she will say a little more gossip to her.
The aunt whispered: "I also heard from others, it seems that Dr. Chen was drunk once and said it himself, but he didn't admit it the next day." Everyone knows that he is afraid that the Shen Mansion will make trouble for him, so ah, you must not tell this matter, if the people of the Shen Mansion know, Dr. Shen will be in trouble, what will we do when we are sick! ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I still have to see a doctor, how can I cut off my own way back." Rusi comforted her aunt on the surface, but in her heart she wanted to dismantle Dr. Chen.
"Actually, the young lady of the Shen family, didn't I say that there is such a good marriage in the Shun Palace, and you have to go out to hook up, not to mention ruining your reputation, and eloping with someone, it is really a shame for the Shen family, no wonder you choose to commit suicide by jumping into the river."
"Jumping into the river and committing suicide, you said that it would be a hundred to die, and now being alive like this is treated as a joke, I look at her, it's uncomfortable to live." Sure enough, once a woman gossips, it is like a surging river.
"It's a pity that the Rui Shizi of the Shun Palace, a talent, talented, good-looking, family-oriented, and the prince's companion, with a princess is no problem. Now, it's a pity to marry such a water-based poplar ......"
"Auntie, the line is too long, I'll come early tomorrow and leave first."
Rusi made an excuse and left to find Li Youning despite her aunt's shouting.
It just so happened that Li Youning also came out, and Rusi hugged her arm tightly without saying a word, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
