Chapter 42: Entering the Room

The first time Fan Xian stepped into his “fiancée’s” boudoir, he was using his status as a doctor, and the first thing that came into his eyes was the bed decorated with green snails and hooked with purple threads, and then the three girls, one of whom was Ye Ling’er, one of whom was her sister, and one of whom was bowing her head and busily pulling the Aman cloth on the bed–it was the eldest maiden, the one who was busy pulling the Aman cloth on the bed, and the one who was busy pulling the Aman cloth on the bed. -was the big maid.

Fan Xian coughed twice, walked up, sat down on the round stool that the maid ring brought over, like a proper doctor, stroked the beard under his jaw, only this newly glued on beard was a bit unstable, almost stroked off, he hurriedly withdrew this gesture, opened his mouth and asked, “Please ask the young lady to stretch out her hand.”

Miss Lin family is naturally lying on the bed, through the mantle cloth can also vaguely see the curly body, she listened to the doctor, slowly will be the left hand out, resting on the soft wrist pillow above, this wrist pillow seems to be a permanent thing, on the side, it seems that the palace doctor often come to diagnosis and treatment.

Fan Xian looked at the white as a section of the wrist of the quiet jade, a heartbeat, somehow thought that if the owner of this wrist to marry home, later you can touch again and again touch, happy not …… He hurriedly converge his mind, stretch out a finger, resting on the wrist. The fingertip touched Miss Lin’s wrist, and the two sides did not know why, but at the same time shook a trace.

Ye Ling’er didn’t dare to disturb the doctor’s pulse diagnosis, curiously looked at this Lord Fei’s student, found that the other party only used one finger, thought of the rumors of Lord Fei’s means, more and more a few points of confidence. How does she know, Fan Xian although quite versed in the art of medicine, but after all, only studied for one year, where can and the real imperial doctor than learning, the only strong point is in the use of medicine and the previous life of the few insights, the reason why intentionally use a finger to break the pulse, just want to bluff around the people, to establish their own image of the god doctor.

Fan Xian’s finger felt slippery and clean, and he could not help but feel some strange sensation, and he actually seemed unable to let go of his hand, and said after a little meditation, “Miss’s pulse is a little weak, but the dryness is full, and the deficiency loss is mixed with the fire, and it is as thin as a wandering thread, which is a bit troublesome.”

“How?”

“Can you take a look at Miss’s face so that you can make a judgment?”

“No!” The big maiden did not hesitate to reject this proposal, although the Qing country’s culture was more open, but this one on the bed was the emperor’s righteous daughter, her identity was too special, even the imperial doctor was not allowed to look at her face, not to mention this wild doctor who did not know where to come from.

Fan Xian was a little disappointed, and turned to say, “I heard that the imperial physician is concluding that the young lady is consumptive?”

The one who answered him was still the eldest maid, and that Miss Lin seemed a bit weak, lying on the bed without saying a word: “Yes.”

Fan Xian thought about it and felt that there seemed to be some certainty, after all, consumption was the tuberculosis of the previous life, although he didn’t bring a first aid kit with him when he traveled across the world like other mighty men, there were always many cures for the disease, so he continued to ask: “Does the young lady feel fatigued a lot? And cough a lot?”

“Yes.”

“Is the body gradually losing weight?”

“Yes.”

“Does she often feel hot flashes?”

“Yes.”

Fan Xian was a bit annoyed, this big maiden’s mouth was really fast. With a twinkle in his eye, he asked, “Is it that you are often sweating profusely?”

“Yes.” The eldest maiden still snatched at the answer.

However, Fan Xian acted as if he hadn’t heard it and felt in the palm of the soft hand that stretched out of the bedspread, realizing that it was indeed slightly moist. Miss Lin could never have imagined that the doctor outside would be so bold, and shyly and anxiously retracted her hand – Fan Xian’s movements were quick, so none of the three girls outside the bed saw it.

Fan Xian frowned, “Haven’t coughed up blood yet, have you?”

“I’ve already started coughing, and it got better in the spring, but I coughed again the other day.” Seeing that this young doctor stated the symptoms accurately, the eldest maid withdrew her contempt and answered with a hint of anxiety and hope.

“Hmm.” Fan Xian pondered for a little while before saying solemnly, “Miss does indeed have consumption.”

Hearing him actually state a fact that everyone knew after half a day of questioning, the eldest maid bit her lower lip, itching to drive this doctor out. Ye Ling’er glared at him twice, and Fan Ruo Ruo even felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head.

Fan Xian ignored this, stood up and went to the bookcase to find a pen, and began to write the prescription. After writing, the eldest maid took it in her hand and looked at it, and found that it was still Hundred Contracts Gold Soup, but there were two more flavors of Zi Zhu Cao and Black Mountain Gardenia, and one more flavor of Scutellaria baicalensis. She frowned and asked, “Scutellaria baicalensis is bitter and cold, diarrhea fire and firming the yin, but it is too injurious to the vital energy, can it be used?”

As the saying goes, “A long time has made a doctor,” this maid had watched different doctors treating the young lady for several years, and she was familiar with the prescription for consumption, so she pointed out the problem at once. Fan Xian looked at her with more than a little admiration, explaining, “As long as the patient is well, there should be no harm in using a fierce medicine to flush it up a bit first, then we’ll work on it.”

The eldest maid looked at him and said with some anger, “Miss has consumption, her body is weak, how can she possibly be forbidden?”

Fan Xian laughed and wasn’t angry, “Since miss has already coughed up blood, the disease is a bit heavy, so she has to recuperate first before using medicine.”

“In the end, is it heavy medication or nourishment first?” Ye Ling’er was already a bit confused from listening.

Fan Xian coughed twice, “From now on, give the young lady a bowl of goat’s milk every day, and remember to drink it raw.” This was a certain prescription he had heard in his previous life, and it was indeed very effective. (Provided by book lover Yoga Bear Yoga Bear) He asked again, “How is the young lady’s diet?”

The big maiden was thinking about the goat’s milk, and hearing this, she proudly replied, “Every day, clear porridge and small dishes, and she definitely hasn’t suffered a bit of meat.”

Fan Xian was furious, thinking, “You’re all sick like this, why are you still like this? A weak little girl, but you still don’t let her eat better, it’s too much! –Seeing his sister and Ye Ling’er’s strange eyes beside him, he realized that his anger was too irrational, according to Miss Lin’s status, it was impossible for anyone to withhold from her food and drink, so he thought that there must be another reason, and smiled to himself and asked, “Why do you eat like this? ”

The three women looked at him like he was an idiot, thinking that people with consumption should avoid meat and fish, something the whole world knew.

On the contrary, Fan Xian’s education did not know about this matter, so he said doggedly, “We have to let the young lady eat something good and stop avoiding oil and meat. Goat’s milk must be drunk, and daily meals must be enriched. If you can’t get used to it for a while, use one or two of raw yam and raw barley to pound them into coarse dregs, boil them until they are rotten, and then knead half a dozen of persimmon cream cakes, pour them inside and mix them well and drink them. Wait for half a month and then use the prescription I prescribed earlier.”

He spoke to himself, but the others were frowning, no one dared to listen to him.

Just at this time, the old Sister who had previously stopped them and the three of them outside, holding her waist, walked in, not knowing what she had just done, but it was so hard that she spoke in a somewhat weak voice: “How did you all get in?”

The eldest maid greeted her with a smile, explaining, “This is the doctor that Miss Ye invited, Miss agreed to let them take a look.”

The old mama was a bit unhappy and said, “The imperial doctors in this palace also come every two days to diagnose and treat, so what is so rare about this doctor.”

The eldest maid laughed and said, “It is indeed a bit rare, it has already been decided that miss has this disease, but still let us prepare some delicacies for miss every day.”

When the old maid heard this, she desperately shook her head, saying that this must not be allowed, in case the young lady’s condition is delayed, how can this be good? After only two or three sentences, her face changed and she hurriedly excused herself. Fan Xian’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, and he said to the maiden: “Student, this medicine must be used in conjunction with what was said earlier, otherwise it will be ineffective.”

The maiden still refused to listen to him, causing Fan Xian to be annoyed, thinking that in the future, if he could really be with your lady in the same tent, he would be willing to let you fold the quilt and make the bed! He said helplessly, “I have some ready-made pills here, take two of them first. If the healing effect is good, you should believe me, right?”

“The pills may be good, but the meat is definitely not edible.” This girl ring was really screwed up.

Fan Xian was furious and gnashing his teeth, but he didn’t know what to do.

When he was coughing up blood, she was coughing up blood, and when he was gnashing his teeth in anxiety, she was gnashing her teeth in anxiety as well. Behind the veil, the clear girl who was lying weakly on the sick couch, heard the voice of the doctor outside, and had long been anxious and did not know what to do, that voice was so familiar, obviously the young man he met in the side hall of the Qing Temple, although he did not know why he came to his house, and also did not know how he had become a student of Lord Fei, but, but… …

Miss Lin gripped the edges of the silk quilt tightly with both hands, her lovely shell-white teeth gently biting her lower lip in great agitation, and a touch of unhealthy but extraordinarily glamorous red color stained her cheeks. How can this be good? Knowing that person is outside the mantle, but do not know how to meet, really worried about a sister love killed a person.

Hearing the conversation outside seems to gradually end, the master of the voice is about to leave, the girl finally can not help it, propped up the body to sit up, leaning against the bed, using all the strength of the whole body before shouting out a mosquito-sized voice:

“Wait!”

Hearing the voice behind the Aman veil, the four people outside had completely different reactions, the maid first walked over and asked in a low voice what was the matter, Ye Ling’er was concerned with her face, while Ruo Ruo was thinking that her brother risked his life to come here in disguise today, but there was no way he could see the Lin family’s young lady for a moment, so she subconsciously went to look at her brother’s expression – unexpectedly she He saw a dumb goose.

Fan Xian froze after hearing the words wait a minute, transforming into a dumb goose and looking stupidly at the bed, as if he wanted to see the woman’s appearance in there clearly through several layers of Aman veil to confirm the earlier voice. When he was in the Qing Temple, he once heard the white girl speak, especially that sentence, in fact, only that sentence, “Who are you …….”

The three words that were softly spoken in the Temple of Celebration were the ones that made an incredibly deep impression on him that he had not forgotten.

Fan Xian immediately knew who the person in the mantle was, a wave of ecstasy of getting lost and regaining rushed into his brain, making him a little numb for a short period of time, a little unaware of what he was doing, and after the shock, he immediately thought of Huang Lixing’s song, “The wave of sound is too strong, and if you don’t shake it, you will be knocked to the ground …… “So he was a little shaken, but immediately came to his senses, and stiffly stopped the impulse to lift the veil in front of the bed as soon as he could.

“Miss, is something wrong?” The maid asked in a low voice by the bedside. Ye Ling’er also walked over and frowned, “Chenchen, you lie down first, why are you sitting up?”

“This …… this doctor, what he said earlier seems to be …… somewhat reasonable.” The girl in the gauze seems to be a little anxious about how to word it, “…… Look at it face to face, maybe …… the doctor will be more certain.”

The girl ring heard that the lady had said so, but remembering the rules, she could only cast her eyes for help to Ye Ling’er in a difficult way. Ye Ling’er by this time already had some doubts about Fan Xian’s medical skills, so advised a few words that were not necessary, but could not resist Miss Lin’s insistence, and her heart sank, only to say that the sister thought that her days were numbered, so she refused to let go of any glimmer of hope – she sighed well, and reached out to pull the gauze Aman.

At this very moment, that hateful old Sister came up the stairs for the third time, and when she saw this scene, she was shocked, and went to pull Fan Xian away. Fan Xian was furious, thinking, “You’re a real pain in the ass,” and his two eyes glared at him like the wrath of the God of Thunder. Where his eyes reached, the old Sister covered her stomach and fled.

Fan Ruo Ruo naturally knew that her brother’s gaze was not capable of hurting anyone, this was the laxative still firmly in effect, and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. At this time, Fan Xian’s lips also hung a smile, looking at the gradually pulling open the veil, waiting for the moment when the two of them met.

The veil was pulled open, and in the midst of the brocade quilt, a beautiful girl with a fair complexion, watery eyes, and a blush on her face appeared in front of everyone, as if there were no other people, and the two pairs of gazes softly, but firmly, came to rest together.

Fan Xian s gaze was full of joy and happiness, while Miss Lin s gaze was …… very confused and disappointed! Fan Xian immediately reacted to the fact that he had put on makeup today, and this fiancée, who he had only met once, naturally had no way of recognizing himself on the spot, so his eyes couldn’t help but bring a hint of amusement and helplessness to his eyes.

Miss Lin sat down under the help of her maid, looking at this strange young doctor in front of her, it was difficult to hide her disappointment, but gradually her eyebrows wrinkled, seeming to recall something, seeming to find something from this young doctor’s smiling gaze.

Ye Ling’er suddenly felt that Lord Fei’s hairy student gaze was very annoying, and urged, “What are you standing around for?”

Fan Xian smiled and walked forward, scrutinizing the beautiful face that he had been remembering for a few days, looking at the unhealthy blush, his heart gave birth to ten thousand pities, and softly said, “Be sure to eat and take the medicine according to the method I just said, understand?”

Hearing this voice again and seeing this completely different face, Miss Lin was a little dizzy, her arm propped up on the bed, and she said softly, “I’m sorry for your trouble.”

When she left Miss Lin’s boudoir, Miss Lin politely thanked the young doctor and Miss Fan, she knew that Miss Fan would most likely become her own “sister-in-law” in the future, so her heart would inevitably have some inexplicable emotions, and then she looked at the young doctor, her heart was even more stirred, obviously the voice was him, why was it not him? I’m not going to be able to do that.

Looking at the young doctor is about to walk out of the door, Miss Lin is very anxious, but there is no way. As the nominal county princess, previously insisted on seeing the doctor one side, has been a very bold move, do you have to go to ask each other, the other day you are not to Qing Temple, is not to see a girl in white, remember that chicken leg?

Just just just, obviously not that person, just some similarity in voice, it seems that these days too much sleep, and too hung up on that voice, and even some into the magic barrier.

Just as the girl was getting lost, Fan Xian suddenly stopped in front of the room, turned back and said with an odd smile, “Drink goat’s milk, dabble in meat and vegetables, and if you’re hungry, prepare a few more chicken legs to eat.”

Miss Lin’s eyes lit up and asked, “But these days my appetite is not very good, and from time to time I feel a little nauseous and vomit.”

“It doesn’t matter, if you vomit and vomit, you’ll become accustomed to it.” Fan Xian realized that his future wife is a smart person, very pleased, said, “You can ventilate during the day, but you must remember …… to close the windows at night.”

Ye Ling’er and the maid felt that this doctor was not out of his mind, actually saying such words.

On the carriage back to the Fan Mansion, there weren’t any outsiders, only Fan Xian who had a smile on his face and Fan Ruo Ruo who was snickering next to him. Fan Ruo Ruo looked at her brother trying to hold back the urge to laugh wildly, holding it back very hard, and said with a smile, “Laugh if you want to, what’s the point of holding it back?” As soon as these words came out, a burst of extremely fastidious laughter came out of the carriage, so loud that it startled the pedestrians on both sides of the road, and frightened Fuji Zijing, who was guarding the front.

“What a coincidence of things in this world.” Seeing her brother happy, Fan Ruo Ruo couldn’t help but rejoice for him as well, “I didn’t realize that the Lin family’s young lady would actually be the girl that brother met at the Qing Temple.”

“It’s a coincidence.” Fan Xian scratched his somewhat itchy eyebrows and said with a smile, “In the future, don’t call me Miss Lin, call me sister-in-law.”

Fan Ruoruo teased him, “You’ll only be married in October, wouldn’t it be a bit hasty to call your sister-in-law now? And ya …… you know that Lord Chancellor and the eldest princess both dislike you, didn’t you once think of pushing this marriage?”

Fan Xian laughed a little embarrassedly and said, “This is one thing and this is another, nowadays, my brother, but I must marry that woman back. Not to mention Lord Chancellor and Princess, even if that Dean of the Supervisory Academy returned to Kyoto, I wouldn’t bother with him.”

Fan Ruo Ruo suddenly asked curiously, “Today is actually the first time I have seen Lin …… sis in law.” She couldn’t help but laugh herself, “Although sister-in-law was born clear and beautiful, she’s not as beautiful as you described last time.”

Fan Xian was stunned and asked solemnly, “This is still not as beautiful as a heavenly fairy?”

Fan Ruo Ruo said objectively, “Not really.”

Fan Xian thought about it, a bit bewildered, and only said after half a day, “Could this be called …… a lover’s eye?”

“Brother, I can probably understand the meaning of your sentence. But where is Xishi’s beauty?” Fan Ruo Ruo was very studious.

Fan Xian was full of Lin family girls at this time, and had long since lost the fine tradition of willingly serving as his sister’s mentor over the years, casually fooling around, “Xishi is a girl selling tofu in Tanyu Port, very pretty and with white skin.”

“Liar.” Fan Ruoruo was a bit dissatisfied. Noticing that her brother’s entire body had drifted off a bit since he confirmed that his future sister-in-law was his sweetheart.

Fan Xian comforted, “How could I lie to you? When you were a child, you sneaked out of the mansion with me and went to the vegetable market, where she was selling tofu at the time. It’s just that you’re too young to remember.”

Fan Ruo Ruo was skeptical.

Looking back on today’s events, Fan Xian’s heart was overwhelmed with emotion, “Where is this crossing over, this is clearly a romance novel.”

Miss Lin’s surname is Lin Wan’er, her nickname is Yi Chen, she grew up in the palace and didn’t have many friends. Her life was a bit bizarre, so although she knew that her father was the current Lord Chancellor, she didn’t have too many chances to meet her father, but was closer to her uncle. Especially four years ago uncle to their own designated after the marriage, but even the mother was deprived of the right to control their own, but there are some easy days, but unfortunately, these days are also too lonely, Ye Ling’er and often along with their older brothers in the Dingzhou side of the crazy, even in Kyoto, into the palace is not too convenient, so there is even a person around the side to say their own words are not.

At the beginning of the year, I do not know why uncle let people will be their own relationship with his father stabbed out, at that time she thought uncle is ready to embarrass his father, forcing his father to resign, who knows that later on was not such a thing, but instead will be four years ago shelved the marriage, back on the stage.

Surname Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of Lord Fan, the Minister of the Household Department, in Tanyu State? Lin Wan’er’s lips floated a bitter smile, it seems that the other party is also a bitter person, since childhood he could not see the face of his parents, just why must he marry him? Could it be that his own identity was just so dishonorable that he had to be haphazardly promised to Fan …… Xian?

I wonder what Fan Xian looks like.

Lin Wan’er can not restrain herself to think of that doctor during the day, a hint of laughter surged up to the corner of the lips, cover the mouth and laugh, that person can be really funny, actually thought of such a method to mix into the courtyard to know that this is the royal courtyard, the forbidden guards are strict, I do not know how he did it – posing as a student of Lord Fei? What a bold person – but she immediately thought that this person came with Miss Fan, could it be that he has some kind of relationship with Fan? Then he must know about his marriage …… day with that son of the Fan House! Since he clearly knows all this, why did he still come to see me? Why did he still say those words to himself?

Two blushes on her cheeks like clouds of beauty, beside the maid who made the bed looked at the county princess reclining on the head of the bed, could not help but be a little dumbfounded, smilingly asked: ”Miss, and thought of what happy things? The last two days have always seen you smiling for no reason.”

Lin Wan Er was a little embarrassed and said, “Can’t you laugh even if you smile?” The maid spat out her tongue, and naively walked to the window to close the window, at this time the night was already deep, and it was already time to go to sleep. Lin Wan Er thought of the last words said by that teenager during the day and whispered, “You go get some incense.” The maid thought to herself, “Isn’t there more? But she didn’t say anything and went downstairs on her own.

Lin Wan’er walked to the window, her slender fingers resting on the small horizontal wood of the window pane, thinking, “To close or not to close?” When she thought of the disease she was suffering from, and when she thought that she had already been promised to the stranger named Fan Xian, Lin Wan Er’s heart ached, and her fingers secretly exerted force, closing the window dead center.
