Chapter 41
"How so!?" Xiangru stood up excitedly again, and looked at Doctor Xie with wide eyes in disbelief, "How can this be?" My father is obviously Langzhong! ”
"Sit down, don't get excited, listen to me." Mrs. Xie motioned for Madder to pull Xiangru to sit down, for fear that Xiangru would make any more drastic movements, Madder simply stood behind Xiangru and stretched out her arms to wrap around her shoulders.
"I always thought that your family's livelihood might have something to do with Langzhong or the crude medicine shop, but when I saw the word cook, I also had a feeling as if I had guessed the wrong riddle. But in the end, I still chose to trust my judgment, so I asked Aunt Xiao's permission, took her brand, and called Shang Yugui to go to Tai Hospital together. ”
"Ah, that's ...... that day"
"Yes, that day. Yugui went to report Aunt Xiao's situation to Gonggong Du, while I went to the small study to find Gonggong Li and got the original of the roster, on which the column of your family's livelihood clearly reads the word 'Langzhong'. ”
Xiangru had a madder on her body, and she couldn't jump three feet high, but such news still made her difficult to accept and digest for a while, her whole face was ugly, her brows were locked, and her eyes were out of focus.
Lady Xie and Madder were frightened and nervous, Madder hugged Xiangru tightly and kept saying comforting words in her ear, while Lady Xie patted her face and massaged her chest and kept calling her name, trying to soothe her emotions, she looked really scary.
Fortunately, Xiangru's self-control was good, and after a blushing and thick neck, reason prevailed again, and her emotions quickly calmed down, and she was fine. After all, this body is now an assembly product, and if it were the original owner, I am afraid that it would make even more trouble, and for Xiangru, a newborn soul from the modern earth, she can't be guilty of being angry with herself for the conspiracy that has happened, because this is what happened before she occupied this body.
Seeing that Xiangru regained her composure so quickly, Dr. Xie felt a little deeper in her love for Xiangru, people who eat cereals and grains must have seven emotions and six desires, but a qualified doctor must always keep a cool head in order to accurately judge the patient's condition and prescribe the right prescription.
"How so? Who could have done this to me? Xiangru's muttering at this time was more like an instinctive reaction to her body's memory.
"I don't know about this, I only know that the day before the newcomers come in, the copy will be handed over to the aunt in charge, and the aunt will use another night to assign the personnel, and the next day the list will be sent. The copy says that you are a cook and that it is only natural that you should be sent into the kitchen. ”
"Where would I go if no one was trick-or-treating?"
"That's naturally going to the pharmacy, and the girls who enter the palace, if they are from a doctor's family and of the right age, will be sent directly to the pharmacy, which is a rule that has been set a long time ago."
"In other words, Aunt Rong didn't lie to me at the beginning?"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"It's nothing, Aunt Rong is a distant relative of my family, when I recruited the palace maid, she sent a letter to the house, promising that if I can enter the palace, I will let me go to the pharmacy, and I can go home at the age of twenty after taking the Chinese medicine exam."
"But the truth is, someone doesn't want you to go home, and that's the source of all the problems. Since the girls entered the palace, they were screened layer by layer, and the roster has been in the hands of the fathers-in-law, and only that day will it be handed over to the aunt in charge, and the aunt in charge can't reach it at all. Strangely, who would do this to you? Doctor Xie continued, these things have been turned in her mind many times for so many days, and everything she should have thought about has been thought of.
Xiangru was silent for a moment, and thought of a possibility, her hands unconsciously rubbed back and forth on her legs, biting her lower lip and nodding all the time, "I think I know who doesn't want to see me." ”
"You know?" Doctor Xie felt surprised, and glanced at Madder, and Madder also had puzzlement written in her eyes.
"Definitely my stepmother. Only she didn't want to see me come home. ”
"You have a stepmother?" Doctor Xie and Madder were not surprised, and sympathy suddenly appeared in their hearts, and Xiangru's eyes had a slight pity.
"Yes, stepmother, I was very young when my birth mother died, and I only vaguely remember that it seemed to be sick, and my stepmother came in shortly after, when I was about four or five years old. I had a decent first year, but since she became pregnant and gave birth to a younger brother, I became a forgotten object, and then she gave birth to a younger sister, and she moved to a big house to open a medical center, and there was a shortage of people to do things, and my stepmother didn't want to hire any more people, and then she remembered me, so I fell to the point of being a servant, not only busy with the family, but also assisting my father in the hospital during the day to take care of the sick. ”
"Oh my God, you were only a few years old then! Let your child be among all kinds of sick people every day, and you will not be afraid of getting sick? Your father doesn't object either? ”
"He? Everything in the family is in charge of the stepmother, as long as he has someone to help take care of the hospital, he doesn't care who does it, probably he thinks I'm more sensible and will share the family's worries. Xiangru shrugged indifferently, but Doctor Xie and Madder frowned when they heard it.
"Is your father really Langzhong? He didn't buy his medical certificate, did he? Does he have an apprentice? Even if he wants an assistant, he should let the older apprentice do it, right? ”
"There are no apprentices, at least when I was at home, I am the only one to do everything inside and outside the hospital, including cleaning in the morning and evening, taking care of patients, bringing tea to family members, running errands for patients, and so on. Maybe God took pity on me and let me steal some medical and pharmacology in my busyness, but to me at that time, these things were useless to me. ”
"Yes, it was worthless to you back then, but sitting here and looking back, you will feel that without that time, you would not be where you are today. But your family is too much, even the big families who like to buy child servants will not do this, does your stepmother usually beat and scold you? ”
"That's a common thing, she adheres to women's morals and never sets foot in the hospital during the day, so she won't fix me in front of patients. But when I got home at night, there was still a lot of work waiting for me, and I forgot when I was kicked out of my room, and I had to go and share a room with the servants, and I was not even as good as those people in terms of food and clothing, and I was glad to have some soup to drink. ”
Madder gasped and was completely dumbfounded, while Doctor Xie was so stunned that she didn't know what else to say, "She abuses you so much that you still call you to abide by women's morals?" You are just a daughter, if you are a son, it is understandable for your stepmother to suppress you, you are just a daughter, and if you want to marry in the future, the family is just a dowry, and the family property is still her son's. ”
Xiangru spread her hands and pursed the corners of her lips disdainfully, "I think she doesn't even want to give me that dowry, wouldn't it be better to give her daughter a double dowry?" ”
Doctor Xie stood up excitedly, opened her arms and hugged Xiangru tightly in her arms, and kept caressing her back, "Okay, don't mention the past, whether it is or not she instructed Aunt Rong to secretly do something to keep you in the palace permanently, we don't mention her again." You have this talent, come to me, go back to the Chinese medicine exam in style, and let her know that things are not always as good as they should be. What do you think? ”
"You can afford me, I am flattered, but I am afraid that it will be too late, this is what I am most worried about, to be honest, I don't want to stay in the palace for the rest of my life, I want to go out, I also want to sweep my mother's grave, she only has my daughter, my father must have forgotten her a long time ago, I am afraid that the grass on her grave is higher than people." Xiangru burst into tears as she spoke, and her pitiful appearance made people feel sad.
"Good boy, don't panic, listen to me, your only problem is that time is too tight. If I remember correctly, you were the birthday after the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? As she spoke, Doctor Xie took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears from Xiangru.
Xiangru nodded, "Yes, August twenty, I know the rules of the eighteen-year-old limit." ”
"Don't worry, you have good luck, the doctor's exam time is before the beginning of autumn, this is your luck, your birthday is after the exam, that is, when you are eighteen years old, it is your last chance to take the exam."
"Whew...... That's how it was...... Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief after the surprise, so that she had more time, but the insecurity still didn't disappear, and there was another worry swirling in her heart.
"Lady Xie, now Aunt Rong is the aunt in charge, what if she convinces her boss to change the exam time? I know it's immoral to live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but I really ......"
Doctor Xie patted Xiangru's shoulder soothingly, "The exam time is set by the Tai Hospital, and she doesn't have the right to change it." But then again, if she's determined to keep you in the palace, she'll have plenty of opportunities in her current position. ”
"Master, is there a solution?" Madder was also anxious.
"Yes, yes, it's up to Xiangru herself. Not counting this year, I have two years to leave the palace, if Xiangru can take the medical certificate before I leave the palace, there is nothing to worry about. ”
"Huh? Two years?! Xiangru was dizzy for a while, just now she had three or four years of time, but in the blink of an eye, it has changed for another two years.
"If you are my apprentice for one day, I will ensure that you are well for one day. If you don't pass the exam before I leave, I will entrust you to another doctor, but it's hard to say which step she can do for you, and others have their own difficulties. ”
"I understand that people help me, but after all, you have already left the palace at that time, and if people are negligent, they will let others take advantage of the loophole."
"That's right, so the only solution is that you study hard, and I still have a selfish intention, if you can pass the exam in advance, I can rest assured that I will hand over Madder to you, and when you leave the palace when it is due, Madder has already passed the exam, so you don't have to worry about her anymore."
"Master......" Madder was hooked by Doctor Xie's words, "Madder has worried you." ”
Doctor Xie stretched out her hand and patted Madder's little face, "It's right to worry about you, if others want to worry about me, it depends on whether I am qualified." ”
"Xiangru Xiangru, hurry up, call the master." Madder burst into tears and laughed, and lowered her head and pushed Xiangru's shoulder.
Xiangru woke up suddenly, got up and was about to kneel, Doctor Xie walked to the desk and sat down, smiled and accepted Xiangru's gift, Madder picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to Xiangru, and Xiangru used this half cup of tea as a apprentice tea to Doctor Xie.
Putting down the teacup, Doctor Xie got up and took Xiangru by the hand, but before she could say anything, Madder stretched out her head and came over, "What about me, what about me?" Call Senior Sister. ”
"I'm calling Senior Sister, do you have a red envelope?" Just after worshipping the teacher, Xiangru was in a happy mood and intended to tease Madder.
Madder really didn't do it, and pulled Dr. Xie to be coquettish to seek justice. In fact, they were all teenagers, and the three of them finally hugged each other and laughed.
"Alright, sit down you two crazy girls, there's still nothing to say." Seeing that Madder was still making trouble with Xiangru and wanted to listen to her call Senior Sister, Doctor Xie put on the prestige of her master.
Xiangru and Madder then spread their hands and moved a stool to sit on either side of Doctor Xie.
"Madder, bring a box. Xiangru, for a while, you can still go back as usual as if nothing happened, and bear with it for a few more days, Aunt Fang will definitely test how close I am to you. In order to make her live in peace, I will inevitably have to let you suffer some more grievances, but don't worry, according to my thoughts, I will definitely let you move into this yard before the Chinese New Year. ”
"Thank you, master, don't worry, I know how to do it." Since Doctor Xie already had a plan, Xiangru felt that it would be good for her to wait with peace of mind.
