Chapter 427 Separation
Chapter 427 Separation
Song Ying was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh at the speed at which Aunt Chen passed on the news. Ever since she came here to sell candied fruits, she couldn't hide anything about the clinic from Yan Xing!
"Don't mention it. Luckily he acted impulsively and without planning, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be in the mood to laugh right now."
Song Ying really couldn't be happy about what happened today. Seeing that she was getting older year by year, shuttling between the clinic and the deep courtyards of the backyard, people had been talking about her in private. Even Aunt Chen had told her tactfully several times that unmarried young girls should not show their faces in public, and even if they really wanted to do business, they would only receive female guests.
Today, Xu Chuan acted first, and then Shen Jing acted rashly again. If this continues, she will not be able to go to the clinic sooner or later.
Luo Yanxing was originally joking with her, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but become worried, "Why don't you stop going to the clinic and only go to the homes of those ladies in the future. Anyway, the consultation fees of other patients are not even as much as theirs."
“No, I’m at a time when I need to accumulate a lot of experience. If I have fewer patients, I won’t be able to come into contact with some diseases. In the future, I may only be good at treating certain diseases.
Moreover, those ladies take care of themselves with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs and food ingredients, and their health is much better than that of ordinary people. Some families even support special doctors. In comparison, ordinary female patients need me more."
After that, Song Ying asked with the same concern, "Who else has said about you recently?"
Luo Yanxing nodded indifferently: "I am just a small shopkeeper. I am not as respected as you doctors. They always say something about me. But I don't care what they say at all.
Besides, you know how powerful I am. They don’t even dare to talk to me. I don’t hear the gossip behind my back and I just ignore it.”
Song Ying was annoyed when she heard this and cursed in a low voice: "These people are so idle. What's wrong with a young girl doing business? The shop is open every day, and we are doing business uprightly. I think they have dirty minds and don't control themselves, but restrict us instead."
"It's not worth getting angry about other people's gossip. Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss. Whether it's quarreling or beating people, I rarely have an opponent!"
Song Ying was relieved about this. Seeing that Luo Yanxing was very carefree and didn't care at all, he felt less angry.
In order to make it convenient for some students to buy pancreas after school, the shop always closes very late. There were not many people at this moment, so the two of them sat in the shop and chatted.
Luo Yanxing said: "You should pay more attention during this period. Now that Xu Chuan has made up his mind, I'm afraid he won't give up so easily. How about I take you to the clinic later?"
"It takes up a lot of your time to go back and forth, don't worry, during this period, all his energy is on the county exam. If he passes, he will have to prepare for the prefectural exam in April. How can he have the energy to mess up?"
"If he fails the exam, will he be more interested in you?"
Song Ying was silent for a moment. This was indeed possible. "We'll talk about it later. If he fails the exam, he will just be a commoner, which is easy to deal with."
Luo Yanxing couldn't help but sigh. What kind of thing was this? He was just doing his duty, but he attracted such a scoundrel. After all, it was because they were girls, and the money they earned was like ownerless property in the eyes of others.
"I thought about it today and I think what your second aunt said makes sense. When it comes to marriage, we have to take the initiative to fight for the one we want. We can't passively wait for our family to say something bad about us. As long as we don't do anything out of the ordinary, it's not a big deal.
You are so smart and have good medical skills. Yuan Qing is the only one who is worthy of you in the surrounding villages. Besides, he has a good relationship with us and we all know his character. We won't marry him blindly.
Moreover, I really think that you two have a great chance. He doesn't teach the girls in his village, but he is willing to teach you, which shows that you are different in his heart. Moreover, when you played together during the Lantern Festival in the first month of the lunar year, you clearly didn't set out together, but you always met in the city, which shows that you two are destined to be together. Maybe you are destined to be together."
Song Ying blushed as he refuted each question one by one: "It's not that he is unwilling to teach the girls in his village, it's just that I was the only one who shamelessly asked for this. He is happy to teach others. If you also wanted to learn at that time, he would not refuse;
As for meeting in the city, it's not destiny. Qingshui County is so small, and during the New Year, people go around in roughly the same order, so it's easy to meet. We've met Song Tian and his friends several times before, and we played together because we had a previous relationship."
"That's better than being a stranger. Yuan Qing would definitely be more willing to choose you as his wife between you and the other girls."
Song Ying held Tangtang in his arms, rubbing her soft fur and belly, and said dejectedly, "No, the Yuan family wants a noble lady, how can I compare with them?"
Tangtang was a little annoyed by her rubbing, and bared her teeth threateningly, pretending to bite. Song Ying didn't notice at all and continued to rub her from time to time. Tangtang was so angry that she bit her. After that, she felt a little guilty and quickly licked her twice.
Unfortunately, Song Ying still didn't notice and was still rubbing gently. Tangtang resisted several times but in vain, so she simply jumped down and ran away.
"It was Grandma Tao and the others who wanted to marry him a lady from a high-class family, not Yuan Qing. Grandma Tao and the others can't get in touch with officials and families. If Yuan Qing doesn't want to, there's nothing they can do even if they want to marry her." Luo Yanxing thought about it very seriously and comprehensively today.
Song Ying asked back: "How do you know Yuan Qing doesn't want to?"
"No way. Don't scholars look down upon those who curry favor with the powerful and seek to curry favor with the influential the most?" In Luo Yanxing's impression, Yuan Qing was the kind of gentleman who was as elegant as the breeze and the moon.
Song Ying raised his eyebrows, thinking that Yuan Qing maintained his image quite well. He did so many things for the sake of power, fame and fortune, but in the eyes of others, he was still a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune.
"You're mistaken. He is very ambitious. Marrying a noble lady from a high-class family will greatly benefit his career. That's why the Yuan family doesn't even look down on the daughters of officials in the capital. They are determined to marry a noble lady from the capital."
"How do you know he is ambitious? Don't you see that he is ambitious?" Luo Yanxing was a little confused. Judging from Yuan Qing's non-competitive and unhurried personality, he seemed to be a person who was not interested in fame and fortune and did not engage in competition with the world.
"Uh~ When my younger brother was enrolled in school, didn't he suggest that I wait until Wu Tixue went to the community school to observe the situation before asking our grandmothers for advice? He even considered that if my younger brother could pass the imperial examination and become Wu Tixue's walking official, he could get his blessing. Do you think he has no ambitions?"
Luo Yanxing thought about it and found that it was true. How could a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune think about taking the imperial examinations and paving a way for himself in the officialdom?
Thinking of Yuan Qing's usually peaceful eyes and straight figure like a green bamboo, she was greatly shocked. It was too disparate and totally unlike them!
