Chapter 52: Avoiding Illness and Avoiding Doctors
An hour later, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Xue's mansion. Only then did Shen Yunwan realize that Xue Yuanbi's mansion was only one street away from the Shen family.
The subordinates of the Xue Mansion removed the threshold, drove all the way in by the carriage, and stopped at the shadow wall.
Zizhu helped Shen Yunjuan to board the soft sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago, and was carried by Mother Yang, through the weeping flower gate, and walked to the backyard where the daughters of the Xue family lived.
After about a stick of incense, Mother Yang said outside the sedan chair: "Miss Shen, the front is Madame's courtyard." ”
"There is labor." Shen Yun shook his head.
As soon as I got off the sedan chair, I saw a woman in her twenties walking up quickly.
I saw her combing a woman's bun, a melon seed face, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and smiling before speaking.
"This is Miss Shen, right? What a beautiful beauty! ”
Mother Yang hurriedly introduced: "Miss Shen, this is the eldest young lady in our house, and her maiden name is Li. ”
A trace of surprise floated in Shen Yunwan's heart, he was a doctor, but the Xue family sent the eldest young lady to receive him, and the etiquette was sufficient.
"The young lady praises falsely, you are the heart of the blue heart, which is unforgettable at first sight." Shen Yunwan just doesn't like to socialize, it doesn't mean that she is not good at it.
Hearing this, Li said with a smile: "Miss Shen doesn't have to be so polite, I'm a few years older than you, if Miss Shen doesn't dislike it, just call me Sister Li." ”
Shen Yunwan's eyes flashed.
This young lady is not too enthusiastic about herself.
She pressed the doubt in her heart and changed her words with kindness: "Sister Li." ”
"Hey." Li responded crisply, "My sister comes with me." ”
Just now it was a sentence of "Miss Shen", but now she is simply called "sister".
Although Shen Yunwan couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, he was at ease and followed behind the Li family.
Mrs. Xue's yard has a wide field of vision, and the courtyard is full of flowers and trees, although it is not like the Shen family, most of the gardens are famous products, but they are carefully cared for, especially a bush of plantains in front of the window, which is quite interesting.
This Li is obviously a master of observing words and feelings, Shen Yunwan didn't take a few more looks, and Li smiled and pointed to the emerald green banana leaves.
"My sister likes this plantain?"
Shen Yunwan retracted his gaze and showed a shallow smile: "I just think that the person who arranged it is very ingenious." ”
"My mother likes to hear the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, so my father planted a bush of plantain in front of my mother's window." Li covered his mouth and laughed, "I didn't expect my sister to be a fellow practitioner." ”
Xue Yuanbi was extremely serious, and he looked a little puzzled, he would actually plant plantains for his wife?
Shen Yunwan's gaze swept over the various scenery in the courtyard.
I saw that there was a crescent-shaped small pond in the courtyard, and the rockery was stacked with Taihu Lake stones, and there was a large area of water lilies floating on the pond, and a few koi were chasing and playing under the lotus leaves; On the other side, in front of the window, a clump of green bamboos was planted, and the breeze floated and the bamboo shadows swayed.
"The mountain on the pond is cold and foggy, and the bamboo is dark and the small windows are low. Count the autumn sounds invade short dreams, and the banana rain under the eaves. Shen Yunwan's mind unexpectedly came up with this word.
Li Shi listened to it on the side and exclaimed: "Mother is arranged according to this, it seems that my sister is really my mother's bosom friend." Come with me, sister, my mother must be very happy to see you. ”
Outside the door, the people raised the curtains, and Li said crisply: "Mother, Miss Shen has arrived." ”
Shen Yunwan followed Li Shi around the screen, only to see that the layout in the room was completely different from the outside, and the gauze tent on the stepping bed was hanging, showing a little dim.
There was a desk by the window, and three or four books were placed indiscriminately, although the people often cleaned them, Shen Yunwan's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that the master had not turned them for a long time.
"Yun Niang, let your father not waste his efforts. I know my own body, you help me send Miss Shen out, don't you make amends to others. ”
The owner of the voice exuded a weakness, sounding hoarse and tired, as if he had been tortured.
A patient, but refused to see a doctor! What kind of changes can make a woman who loves life have no will to live?
Shen Yunwan even had a conspiracy theory in his heart, could it be that Xue Yuanbi's "favorite wife" was just an illusion?
"Mother, your father is worried about your illness, even if you don't think about yourself, you should beg you for your father and daughter-in-law."
Lee's voice was eager.
"You don't have to say more, I'm tired." Mrs. Xue had an unmoved attitude.
Li hurriedly handed Shen Yunwan a pleading look, for fear that Shen Yunwan would leave like this in a fit of anger.
After all, my father-in-law repeatedly explained to my husband last night that Miss Shen is by no means an ordinary doctor, and she must be treated politely and not offend her.
Seeing this, Shen Yunwan gave Li a reassuring look.
She lightly opened her red lips: "Mrs. Xue, I heard that Lord Xue was born in a poor family, and it was you who weaved cloth for him to study, and in order to make up for his entanglement in Beijing to catch the exam, you sold all your dowry, and one of them is still an ancestral heirloom in your family." ”
Shen Yunwan's voice was as fast as a pearl falling on a jade plate.
She continued: "Before I came to Xue's Mansion, I had a preconceived idea that I would see a tired and undignified woman, even though she lived a pampered life, but was overwhelmed by the toils and hardships of her early years. It wasn't until I went to your courtyard and saw the scene in the courtyard that I realized my self-righteousness. ”
"Look at the scenery and know people, you are open-minded, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and full of elegance and taste, will a woman as extraordinary as you also avoid medical treatment?"
After Shen Yunwan finished speaking, he walked quickly to the bed, only a curtain away from Mrs. Xue.
"Lord Xue and you are a well-known loving couple, do you really want to let him lose his mandarin duck? Lord Xue invited me to come, he took a risk and owed favors, if his hard work was wasted in vain, with the kindness of his wife, I am afraid that it will not be safe under Jiuquan. ”
In the bed tent, Mrs. Xue's fingers clutched the corners of the quilt tightly, and the back of her thin hand was bruised. Hearing the sentence "took a risk", she felt even more astringent, and two lines of tears flowed silently down the corners of her eyes.
The room was silent.
Li's heart was anxious, and he unconsciously bit his lip.
Until a long sigh came from inside the bed tent.
"It seems that Miss Shen is not only a doctor, but with such good eloquence, she can be called a 'female middle school Su Qin', I can't do this disease without looking at it."
Mrs. Xue's words revealed a slight mockery, I don't know whether it was self-deprecation or dissatisfaction with Shen Yunjuan's aggressiveness.
"Su Qin didn't dare to be, Mrs. Xue lifted me. As a doctor, I hate disobedient patients the most, this is my occupational disease, I hope Mrs. Xue will not be surprised. ”
Shen Yunwan smiled and said with a smile, but his words were hidden in the cotton.
Madame Xue shook her head with a smile. This girl is very much like her former nature. Anyway, if you live like this without being a human or a ghost, it's better to let him die once!
In the end, Mrs. Xue opened the curtain that seemed to be light and fluttering, but it was extremely heavy in her heart.
But I saw a sallow, haggard face in front of me, with obvious blue and black under the eyes, and two deep lines engraved at the corners of the eyes.
In addition, the facial features are very beautiful, especially the two long eyebrows that fly obliquely into the sideburns, revealing a rare heroic spirit.
"Miss Shen is really beautiful."
Mrs. Xue was taken aback, although it was clear from the voice that this girl was not very old, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she found that Shen Yunwan was younger than she imagined, and this girl still had a beauty that was rare in the world.
If it weren't for her understanding of her husband, Mrs. Xue wouldn't have been able to associate Shen Yunwan with the doctor.
"Madam, you'll know later, my medical skills are more amazing than my looks."
Shen Yunwan said without modesty.
Although there is a delicate and small silver gilt incense burner in front of the bed, the fragrance of moon incense lingers. Shen Yunwan relied on his keen sense of smell as a medical cultivator, and under the cover of this aroma, he still smelled a faint fishy smell.
The fishy smell emanated from the bed.
Shen Yunwan's heart floated with a hint of enlightenment.
No wonder Mrs. Xue would be so resistant to the doctor.
In ancient times, there was a lack of medical knowledge, and there were extremely strict defenses for men and women, and it was considered a shame for women to expose their bodies.
And Mrs. Xue is sick in a very private place, presumably she has been self-loathing for a long time, so she will be bored.
"Sister Li, I don't like other people to be present when I am treating, and I ask Sister Li to take my maid out with me."
Shen Yunwan turned around and said to the Li family.
On the bed, Mrs. Xue's pupils shrank nervously.
She gritted her teeth, and suddenly reacted violently: "Yun Niang, I'm not cured, you send Miss Shen out." ”
The mother-in-law suddenly issued an eviction order, and Li didn't leave or stay, and muttered: "But mother ......"
"Sister Li, please take my handmaid out." Shen Yunwan had no choice but to raise her voice, and her tone was unquestionably tough.
The mother-in-law has always been gentle and generous, but the father-in-law is majestic and solemn. Don't say it's yourself, even her husband doesn't dare to breathe in front of his father-in-law.
Lee made his choice immediately.
She whispered, "Miss Zizhu, you come with me." After saying that, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and left the house quickly.
For a while, only Shen Yunwan and Mrs. Xue were left in the room.
Mrs. Xue's expression was a little embarrassed: "Miss Shen, everyone has their own fate, and my life should be like this in this life, so I won't trouble Miss Shen." ”
Although her husband admired Shen Yunhuan's medical skills when he talked about her, Mrs. Xue didn't think that Shen Yunhuan could cure herself.
"Mrs. Xue, although everyone has their own lives, we doctors are fighting for the word 'life'."
Although Mrs. Xue had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Shen Yunjuan did not take it to heart.
The patient has no will to survive because she has no hope of a cure, and what she has to do is to bring hope to the patient.
Shen Yunwan softened her voice: "Mrs. Xue, I already have a rough idea of your illness in my heart, this is all caused by your hard work in the early years, in my heart, it is not a shame, but your merit." I believe that Lord Xue and I have the same thoughts, so they will invite me here. ”
Shen Yunwan thought that the relationship between husband and wife was sometimes closer than the parent-child relationship, even if Mrs. Xue wanted to hide it, with Xue Yuanbi's shrewdness, she couldn't hide it at all.
Otherwise, Xue Yuanbi would not have invited himself to the door.
The reason why he pretended to be confused was because he didn't want Mrs. Xue to be too embarrassed, which made her already scarred heart even more painful!
But he never gave up. For Mrs. Xue, it is not a kind of luck.
