Foodie chef, my three-star queen

Chapter 140 The Married Woman With the Ball
When boarding the boat, Yan Xiaoliu was covered with salutes, and the ghost doctor carefully supported Mi Qilin, lest she slip and fall.

"This lady is really lucky. Your husband-in-law is really considerate to you." The wife of the boat owner was welcoming the guests to board the boat. When she saw the ghost doctor supporting Mickey Lin and she was pregnant, she naturally regarded them as husband and wife.

Mi Qilin blushed a lot when she said that, but he was a stranger after all, and it was possible that he met this time, so it was impossible to explain to her that he and the ghost doctor were not husband and wife.

Seeing that Mi Qilin didn't speak, the ghost doctor also smiled noncommittally at the old lady of the boatman, and helped Mi Qilin into the cabin.

After entering the cabin, Mi Qilin realized that there were no other passengers here, and looked up at the ghost doctor in surprise.

"This boat was chartered by my master. It's just the three of us." Yan Xiaoliu explained for the ghost doctor while unloading the luggage, "I'm afraid there will be too many people to disturb my sister."

"Oh, thank you ghost doctor." Mi Qilin looked at the ghost doctor gratefully.

"It doesn't matter. There are few people traveling in this season. Even if we don't book it, we may be the only ones to take the boat. Don't worry about it." The ghost doctor said it lightly, not wanting to make Mi Qilin feel too much pressure.

From the wharf to Luan City, it only takes two days to get there by water.The ghost doctor prepared some prescriptions for seasickness in advance, but luckily they didn't come in handy. Mi Qilin's cerebellum functioned well, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

There are several wing rooms in the cabin, and since the entire passenger ship is chartered, everyone gets one.Mi Qilin lives between the ghost doctor and Yan Xiaoliu.

During the day, most of the time, the three of them gathered in the hall outside the room, opened the window to look at the gurgling water outside the boat, and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the river that was constantly moving backwards.

At night, the weather is still a bit cooler. Although it has been two months since the New Year, the coldness at night is still not to be underestimated. There are heaters in each room, so that the night will not be too difficult.

Two days later, the three arrived in Luan City.As soon as he got out of the cabin, Mi Qilin felt the warm wind blowing, and the cloak on his body had already been replaced by a single-layer cloak without a fur collar.

Luancheng is like spring all the year round, and the willow trees by the river have already sprouted, and they look green and have a warm feeling of spring.

"Guest officer, your carriage." The old boatman took the carriage off the boat. The boat was very big, and the carriage it took when it set off from the valley was also transported to Luan City by boat.

"Thank you, old man." Yan Xiaoliu pulled the carriage, let Mi Qilin and the ghost doctor get in, "Let's go back to my house first, and then let my father find a place to live."

After all, with a wave of the whip, he happily drove the carriage.Mi Qilin has to admire this 14-year-old girl, not to mention cooking and housework, she can drive a carriage and do heavy work, she is really a good helper for home travel.

Yan Xiaoliu went to the valley to study as a teacher when she was five years old, so her education was naturally borne by the ghost doctor. Mi Qilin couldn't help shaking his head. It really wasn't his own. The ghost doctor is too ruthless. She should have lived a free life The little girl was tossed like this.I really don't know if it's luck or misfortune?
"What? Uncomfortable?" Seeing Mi Qilin looking at him with a strange expression, the ghost doctor thought she was not feeling well.

"It's okay. I just thought, if you care so much about a stranger like me, why don't you show some consideration for Xiaoliu?" Mi Qilin said what was in his heart, feeling a little distressed for Yan Xiaoliu.

"If her father hadn't tried every means to beg me, I wouldn't have accepted her as an apprentice. Being my apprentice is not easy." The ghost doctor smiled and did not answer Mi Qilin's question directly.But the underlying line is that what he did to Yan Xiaoliu was normal.

Seeing that he said that, Mi Qilin couldn't say anything more. He smiled, turned his head and lifted the curtain to look out.

I heard that Luan City is a rich place, and seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation. The streets are spacious, and the buildings on both sides are tall and magnificent. Judging by the clothes of the pedestrians on the street, they are no worse than those in the capital city.

"Um... did you decide to come to Luan City because of my body?" Mi Qilin put down the curtains and turned to ask after seeing enough of the scenery.

She had always wanted to ask this question, if it was true, the ghost doctor had done too much for her, and she didn't know how to repay her.

"Not exactly. In fact, Yan Yuanwai invited me to come to Luan City to open a medical clinic a long time ago. I am used to idle clouds and wild cranes, so I didn't agree. Anyway, you also need a good environment to raise your fetus and have children. Why don't you take this opportunity to agree?" It's gone." The ghost doctor smiled softly, his smile was like a warm sunshine, "You don't have to pay too much attention to these. I also have my own selfishness."

"Oh." Mi Qilin said so, but he knew in his heart that this was just his excuse.

Who doesn't know that the ghost doctor's visit depends on whether the patient's eyes are closed or not. If they are closed, they can treat you, but the consultation fee is sky-high.If such a clinic opened in Luan City, there would probably be very few people, and very few people would dare to visit it.

Mi Qilin knew that the ghost doctor said this so that she would not feel too much pressure, but since the words were spoken, even if it was just for show, he must open the medical clinic.

Turning his eyes, Mi Qilin asked as if remembering something, "Then you opened a medical clinic, can I help you? I have studied medicine."

"Oh? You also know medical skills?" The ghost doctor's eyes flashed with surprise, but he frowned again in the next moment, "Didn't you lose your memory? Do you still remember?"

"Yes, I really can't remember the past. But medicine and cooking are not memories for me, but instinct. It's like I don't remember my identity, but I know my name. I can't explain clearly , but I do remember these." Mi Qilin didn't know how to explain what happened before and after her time travel, but after thinking about it, she found a more appropriate explanation.

"I see. Tangtang, you know a lot." The ghost doctor obviously agreed with Mi Qilin's statement and stopped asking.

"I don't know anything else, it just happens to be these two things." Mi Qilin lowered his eyes, paused and asked again, "Can you promise me to help you? I have been taken care of by you too much, you just Take it as a chance to repay me. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

"Since you said so, then fine." The ghost doctor agreed after thinking for a while, "However, that will have to wait until you give birth safely."

"Really? That's great, thank you!" Mi Qilin reached out and grabbed the ghost doctor's hand excitedly, thanking him gratefully, but then felt that it was inappropriate, after all, this is an age when men and women are not intimate, and her performance was too much When she became enthusiastic, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I was excited at the moment."

"It's okay." The ghost doctor turned his head sideways, opened the curtains and pretended to look out of the window, and from Mi Qilin's angle, he couldn't see an unnatural blush on his face.

"Master, Sister Tangtang, we're here." Yan Xiaoliu's excited voice came, and the carriage stopped immediately.

"Come on, I'll help you down." The ghost doctor got up first, raised the curtain and asked Mi Qilin to go out.

"Thank you."

The ghost doctor and Yan Xiaoliu helped Mi Qilin get off the carriage.

Mi Qilin looked up after standing firm, and saw a row of high-eaves and blue tiles. It seemed that Yanxiaoliu's family was really rich and powerful, and such a large area was her family's mansion.

"Wait a minute. I'll go find someone to report." Yan Xiaoliu jumped up the steps in two steps and patted the copper ring on the gate.

After a while, the door was opened with a creak, and an old housekeeper looked Yan Xiaoliu up and down a few times, and before Yan Xiaoliu could speak, he grinned and said, "Isn't this Miss Six? Ouch, You are back! Please come in quickly, this old slave will report to the master right now."

"Strange, I haven't seen him for so many years, how come he still remembers me?" Yan Xiaoliu tilted her head, muttering in disbelief.

What Yan Xiaoliu doesn't know is that the ghost doctor will record all her growth records in detail, and send them to Yuanwai Yan along with her portraits in different periods.

In the past nine years, he and Yan Yuanwai have never stopped writing letters, but in order to let Yan Xiaoliu practice better and not let the pain of homesickness disturb her mood, so the ghost doctor didn't tell her about it.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a brown copper coin pattern ran out, followed by a middle-aged woman and several servant girls.

Needless to say, the slightly overweight middle-aged man is Yan Xiaoliu's father, Yan Qi Nanyan Yuanwai, and that woman is Yan Xiaoliu's mother.

"Ouch! Xiaoliu! You're back?! Come on, let daddy take a look!" Yan Yuanwai only had his precious daughter in his eyes, and automatically blocked the other two.

"Xiao Liu. Mother misses you so much." Madam Yan took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears as she spoke. She hadn't seen her real daughter for nine years, and she couldn't express how she missed her in a single sentence.

"Father, mother, master is still here..." Yan Xiaoliu was obviously not used to the enthusiasm of his parents. Although he missed him very much, isn't it too ugly for the whole family to hug and cry together at the gate? ?
"Oh, that's right." Only then did Yan Yuanwai see the two people behind Yan Xiaoliu, "My dear brother, after receiving your letter from Feige, I have prepared everything. Come in first. I have to I will hold a welcome banquet for you. By the way, this is the Lingmei you mentioned in your letter, right?"

"Uh, I met Yan Yuanwai." Mi Qilin was taken aback, and then realized that the ghost doctor might have concealed his identity and lied about being his sister.

"Hi Miss Jiang. Come, please come in." Yuan Yan waved his hand to signal her not to be so pretentious, and then guided everyone into the mansion.

Miss Jiang, only then did Mi Qilin know that the ghost doctor's original surname was Jiang.She couldn't help laughing secretly, she never asked his last name, she always called him ghost doctor, as if his real name should be like that.

Yan Yuanwai was very hospitable, and held a reception banquet for the ghost doctor and Mi Qilin that day, and his six children attended the banquet.

To Mi Qilin's surprise, the six children were all from Mrs. Yan, and there were no aunts or concubines other than Yan.Didn't it mean that three wives and four concubines were very common in ancient rich families?This Yan Yuanwai is different, so Mi Qilin respects and admires him even more.

Yan Xiaoliu is the sixth child.The above five are all brothers.The eldest is 23 years old, and has already started to help Yan Yuanwai manage the store under his name. The second, third, fourth, and fifth are two pairs of twins, all at the age of school.

Only Yan Xiaoliu was sent to the ghost doctor to learn medicine from a young age, which made Mi Qilin a little puzzled. It is said that the youngest and only daughter in the family should be held in the palm of the parents as a baby?Member Yan also seemed to cherish Yan Xiaoliu very much, and he didn't seem to be patriarchal, but why did he send her to the valley so cruelly at such a young age?
Mi Qilin was puzzled, but after all, it was a family matter, so it was not easy to ask too many questions, just pretend it was nothing to do with him.
