Chapter 209 My Brother is a Royal Physician 3
Yu Huan is not allowed to go out.
However, he did not neglect practicing calligraphy, reading books, dancing, or playing the piano.
Whether it was her half-sister entering the household, her mother giving birth, or her younger sister's first birthday celebration, she never stepped out of her own courtyard.
Gradually, she also began to find a certain enjoyment in being alone.
When I feel unhappy, I lock myself in my study to practice calligraphy, always "enduring," "quieting," or "waiting."
Sometimes I spend time alone with my father and mother.
Yu Huan did speak, but only single words came out.
Okay, sure, yes.
That's all.
After a few times, I didn't even want to say a single word anymore.
She would write things down on paper whenever she had something to say, and over the years, her handwriting has become much better than in her previous life.
Calm your mind.
Yu Huan discovered that after not moving around for several months, her neighbor, the Leng family's brother, had disappeared without a trace. How could he have vanished so quickly, like a fish getting off a hook?
After much thought, the only thing I could do was send a letter to test the other party's feelings.
At this moment, Leng Qinjiu, who had a penchant for men, was completely at peace.
He didn't open the letter after receiving it, but handed it directly to his mother. Then he turned around and went back to his own courtyard, not noticing his mother's strange expression.
Leng Qinjiu has been busy lately taking his "lonely" cousin and his little Pekingese to visit relatives and friends in and around Beijing.
I don't go home until it's dark every day.
He had gone from a dashing young man to a tanned, handsome young man, and the giggles of his neighbor, Huan, could no longer stir any emotion in his heart.
Leng Xuping was forced to be busy as a mere accessory, and he didn't even have time to climb through the dog hole.
Life is even more fulfilling than that of a typical, fulfilling person.
The old steward wished he could kowtow to Leng Qinjiu several times.
I watched my cousin discuss medical skills with his elders, I watched him bring rice, flour, meat, and cloth to care for orphans and widows, and I watched him urge the younger generation in the clan to diligently memorize the herbal soup rhymes.
People who have no desire to love are truly terrifying.
Seeing that his cousin's gaze was about to fall on him.
Leng Xuping's heart alarm bells rang loudly, his hair stood on end, and his aura of being a passerby was pulled up to the maximum.
Perhaps they were stung by that invisible and intangible halo.
Inside the carriage, the dark-skinned male mother and cousin rubbed his eyes.
Wait, what was I just thinking about? I think I forgot? Was it to get some water?
Leng Xuping held a drooling Pekingese in his arms.
He was munching on a large piece of jerky made by Chef Yi.
He even offered his cousin a water bag.
The water sac contained the sweet and sour water made by Chef Yi. It made my cousin, who usually only drinks plain water, wrinkle his eyebrows from the sweetness, but he couldn't bear to put it down and drank many mouthfuls in a row.
"Xuping, this sweet soup is delicious. Do you think my cook could learn how to make it?"
I taught the family cook how to make it for my mother and younger sister.
"Your cook already learned how to cook... Didn't you eat when you got home, bro?"
Leng Qinjiu felt a little embarrassed.
I've been coming home late lately, and I often just order a bowl of chicken noodle soup from the kitchen and eat it quickly.
I don't even know what I'm busy with, hahaha.
Even the chefs who are learning new dishes don't know about it.
...
I learned that my friend had gone out of town to visit relatives again and had not returned.
Chen Liuer and his companions sighed and returned the way they came. After not seeing Xuping for several days, he felt that he had lost his appetite.
A child nearby, carrying two oil-paper-wrapped pastries, thought Liu Er was being pretentious.
After all, Xu Ping's old steward treated them to tea, had the new chef perform knife tricks for them to watch, and served them several plates of sweet pastries and cheese.
At that time, Chen Liu'er ate the most delicious food.
However, Xu Ping's method is good.
It's much better for them to go out and play with the adults in their family every day than for the other kids who can only walk around on this street.
After a whispered conversation.
The kids dispersed on the spot and went home.
It turned out that they quickly came up with their own choice of someone to curry favor with.
Before winter arrives, everyone plans to find ways to hang out with the adults and go out for a few more days.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The group of children that the original owner befriended were all children who had the freedom to go out.
Of course, the task of recognizing characters and reading books must be completed, or else you'll get a spanking.
Fortunately, the task wasn't too demanding.
They can go out for about half the month.
The children spent most of their time eating pastries at their respective family teahouses and shops, and occasionally they could get a free dinner from their older brothers and uncles.
Hehe, we'll set up a separate table for them.
It's so great to be a child.
Chen Liuer pinched the little fat on his arm.
He ate all of this without spending a penny.
The return gift from his family doesn't count, since it doesn't deduct from his monthly allowance.
However, I need to share a tiny bit of this bag of snacks with my mother at home.
We also need to give a tiny bit to Grandma.
And there's also a tiny bit of an older sister.
Father and elder brother are one thing, but a real man shouldn't fight with a child for snacks.
*
The weather is getting slightly cooler.
Leng Qinjiu finally stopped his short trip to visit relatives and began to bury himself in his studies at home.
He felt he gained a lot from this trip to visit relatives and friends.
He needs to take some time to reflect and calm himself down.
The Imperial Physician found his son's condition quite unusual.
He even joked with his gentle wife, saying that if Yu Huan next door stopped giggling, the silly boy would be cured without medicine.
I don't understand what "cluck cluck" means.
The youngest daughter of the Imperial Physician Leng, Leng Qing, walked back and forth in front of her parents with her hands behind her back, trying to attract their attention.
He was still repeating "brother" and "giggle" that he had just heard.
Leng Qing's little head was probably thinking somewhere.
He was muttering to himself.
"Father, Mother, my brother is reading in the yard, recognizing the bitter medicine. I don't want to drink the medicine, I don't want my brother, I don't want to giggle."
But to his surprise, his mother didn't fall for the child's sweet talk.
Instead, as if reminded of something, they picked up the spoiled child, pressed his head down, and made him recite the names of the medicines.
The Imperial Physician Leng pretended not to hear or see anything.
He's a kid from the Leng family.
Everyone has to go through this.
Of course, Leng Xuping is an exception.
My cousin finally calmed down.
The little Pekingese went home with its cousin.
The children also hitched a ride in their respective elders' carriages.
People are going on blind dates at temples, praying for blessings at Taoist temples, meeting friends at restaurants, and shopping at jewelry stores...
Leng Xuping feigned envy.
Then, feeling disappointed, they suddenly had a huge appetite.
He spent his days at home eating fish, meat, and fruit, and his friends would send him snacks through the servants. After eating, he would go shopping with the old housekeeper. He was having a wonderful time.
Living with the old housekeeper.
Leng Xuping only needs to eat his fill, dress warmly, and grow tall.
It would be even better if I could become stronger.
Studying medicine? What's that? If I can't learn it, I won't study it.
Since neither the master nor the mistress could teach the young master, and the clansmen had failed as well, it was even less likely that he, as a servant, could teach him properly.
As for the other path that urged the original owner to study for the imperial examinations.
In the old steward's eyes, wouldn't the frail young master risk half his life by taking the imperial examination? It's better not to, unless the young master himself is willing.
In this situation, the fact that the original owner didn't turn out badly is probably due to her excellent genetic inheritance.
This person's life as a hoodlum is limited to not getting married, not having children, and avoiding things like drinking and gambling.
Worried that his savings wouldn't be enough for his retirement, the original owner became frugal in middle age, which Chen Liu'er mocked as turning the old scoundrel into a stingy old man.
