Jinyi Spring

Chapter 23 Shangguan Ruyu
After several adventures, Feng Chuchen fully believed in the theory of fate.

Medicines and food can both promote and restrain each other, so who says that things and people can't promote and restrain each other? There are many people who are destined to be without a wife, husband, or children.

For example, in her previous life, she lived to the age of 34 and never got married, so perhaps she was destined to be an orphan without a husband or children.

Listening to what those people were saying, Master Shangguan must have a niche hobby and is a pervert. He likes to torture serious criminals, which is terrifying to hear.

I wonder if Mr. Ming has a niche hobby or is really doomed to be alone.

If he is doomed to be alone, it would be merciful for him to let the woman go.

If he is a homosexual, it is a mercy on his part if he does not marry.

If one marries a woman to serve as a model or to carry on the family line like Master Shangguan did, he would be harming the girl.

In Feng Chuchen's previous life, he had a patient who was a "gay wife". At first, the woman didn't know, but after she found out, she couldn't bear the shock and jumped off the building to commit suicide. She didn't die, but was paralyzed from the fall and is now receiving rehabilitation treatment at my grandfather's clinic.

Feng Chuchen despised that kind of people the most. Others had no right to interfere with their lifestyle, but they shouldn't hide the truth and harm innocent women...

But I feel that we cannot generalize.

Young Master Shangguan is not cheating on his wife, but he is making it clear that I am that kind of person, and I can buy your willingness with all my money.

It's clear that everyone gets what they need, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But if cousins are in that kind of relationship, it would be disgusting anyway.

Also, the fact that these people dare to discuss these things in the street shows that this era is still relatively open-minded.

It's always a good thing to travel back to an enlightened dynasty.

After eating the noodles, Feng Chuchen and his companions walked to the Changping County Government Office.

Feng Buji was tired and sleepy. Feng Chuchen wanted to carry him, but Guo Lei picked him up first.

On the way, Feng Chuchen bought a set of medical books on ulcers and some paper and pens. She knew all the medical theories in them. She bought them for others to read and for Feng Buji to learn from in the future.

He also bought some yellow ochre for making ointments, as well as candies, tea leaves, and firecrackers, the latter for when the government came to present commendations. He also bought three pounds of trough cakes, one pound of which was given to the Guo family.

The stuff was a bit heavy, so Guo Lei put it in a backpack and carried it on his back.

At the end of the day, we arrived at the intersection where the county government office was located and Aunt Wang was already waiting there.

Feng Chuchen and his sister were waiting at the street corner while Aunt Wang and Guo Lei went to the government office to get the deed.

Although it was early autumn, the sunlight was still strong. The brother and sister stood hand in hand under an old banyan tree.

The big tree is like a giant umbrella. Some of its leaves have turned yellow and are spinning in the wind.

Suddenly, several tall horses came galloping, and the pedestrians on the roadside were frightened and dodged.

Feng Chuchen quickly picked up Feng Buji, who was still in a daze, and hid aside.

The men ran by like the wind, and a passerby cursed, "Why don't the police arrest them for riding horses in the street?"

Another passerby said, "Don't you see that's Master Shangguan? Who dares to arrest him? Alas, he's probably in jail again."

Another person gritted his teeth and said, "I hope he kills Big Nose Fan..."

Not to mention Feng Chuchen, even Feng Buji stood on tiptoe to look at the people who were going away.

I only saw a few backs, one of whom was wearing a red dress that was shining brightly in the sunlight.

Feng Buji asked, "Sister, will he cut off the prisoner's nose?"

Feng Buji shuddered. Although the prisoner was hateful, it was also pitiful to be treated like that.

"do not know."

When Aunt Wang and Guo Lei came out, Aunt Wang handed the deed to Feng Chuchen, and they hired a mule cart to return to Baima Village. The driver was well-informed, and Feng Chuchen asked about the housing prices in Beijing.

The driver said, "Most of the people living in the inner city are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. Even the cheapest small house on the outskirts of the city costs four or five hundred strings of cash. The outer city is much cheaper, and a small house can be bought for one or two hundred strings of cash..."

Feng Chuchen wanted to buy a house in the inner city, not far from Xihemen.

Between Beifu Street and Xihemen is Bei'anfang, where most of the residents are families of minor officials, businessmen, and wealthy craftsmen.

The house is well planned, all are blue brick and tile houses, all are courtyard houses, most of them have one entrance, and a few have two entrances.

Feng Chuchen most wants to buy a house here, and the clinic is also nearby.

Not only is the house price relatively cheap, it is also close to the old house and Qingwei Marsh...

Moreover, they can only move within the jurisdiction of Changping County. You cannot move out of the county magistrate's territory just because he has taken down the honorary plaque.

The area of Bei'anfang is under the jurisdiction of Changping County.

When I got home, the sky was full of stars.

Shaoyao came out and took out two large pancakes and a bowl of cold water for Guo Lei. "The girl asked me to prepare this. Dad can eat it on the way."

Feng Chuchen also instructed him, "If Mrs. Guo feels better, please come to my house and I will check her pulse."

Guo Lei thanked him, drank the water, and continued on his way.

After entering the house, Aunt Wang took out nine silver ingots worth one penny, a handful of copper coins, a bag of red dates, peanuts, longans, chestnuts and other auspicious fruits and placed them on the table.

He smiled and said, "I gave four silver ingots to the housekeeper, and I have these left."

Feng Chuchen estimated the price and returned all the copper coins and three silver ingots to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang took it and said, "If you don't have enough money at home, use these first."

Feng Chuchen made up the account and put the six silver ingots into the public money box.

While eating, she talked about the rumors that happened during lunch. She didn't dare to tell all of them, but only said that people were talking about the fact that Young Master Ming was a star of misfortune and that he was on good terms with Young Master Shangguan.

Then he asked, "Has Aunt Wang met Master Shangguan?"

Aunt Wang said, "I haven't seen him, but I've heard of him. His name is Shangguan Ruyu, and he is as handsome as his name suggests. I hadn't come to this family when he was born. I heard that Princess Yanghe's delivery was extremely dangerous, and many female doctors and midwives were unable to take over.

"Some people suggested inviting Feng Wenpo, saying that she had good cooking skills. Others disagreed, saying that Feng Wenpo was a descendant of the Fan family and they were afraid that she would harm the princess. Seeing that the princess was dying, Prince Consort Shangguan asked someone to invite the eldest sister.

"My elder sister took the baby out. His body was blue and purple, and he was already dead. The young master was lucky. My elder sister lit the incense of this life and used the Yin Shen needle to revive him."

"Princess Yanghe was ill during childbirth, so she only has this one son. She spoils him to death, and would rather the moon than the stars. I heard that even the emperor and the empress dowager spoil him...

“It was only after that that my elder sister was recorded in the Imperial Hospital’s records. The reason why the Shangyin magic needle was priced so high was because Princess Yanghe said that the magic needle was worth that price.

"My eldest sister passed away, and the Princess Yanghe Mansion sent officials to pay tribute. Nineteen years have passed since that incident, but the high and mighty Princess Yanghe Mansion still remembers this. They are nothing like the old Li family, who are so shameless."

She swore some more.

Feng Chuchen thought to himself, how could a princess who is kind and considerate raise a son with such a strange quirk?

Banxia smiled and said, "I also heard that Master Shangguan is very handsome, even prettier than Xiao Fengxian from the Qingxi Opera Troupe."

Shaoyao sighed, "There are all kinds of people in this world, there are women like me who are like men, and there are men like Shangguan Gongzi who are like women.

"My mother said that if I were to act, I would be best suited to play a man, and not a handsome warrior. If that Mr. Shangguan were to act, he would be best suited to play a Huadan or Qingyi."

Everyone laughed.
