Chapter 109: Being Mocked

  ♂?,,

  Pink is over thirty plus more, continue to seek pink!

  According to the usual practice of the imperial court, officials have one day off every five days. If there is an urgent matter, they can also take emergency leave, with no more than 60 days of emergency leave per year. There are also family visit leaves and mourning leaves, which are quite humane. As a newcomer to the officialdom and a key cultivation object of the imperial court, Li Mingyu finally welcomed his first rest day after working continuously for over a month.

  Li Mingyu had originally promised to take her to see the maple forest after his imperial examination, but he has been busy until now. The maple leaves are probably all fallen by this time, with a carpet of fallen leaves and a desolate scene everywhere, what's the point of going? But on this rare rest day, she can't just stay at home, right?

  "Tomorrow, are we going through with it?" Lin Lan asked, grinding ink as she looked at Li Mingyun with eager eyes.

  Li Ming Yun's brush strokes were like floating clouds and flowing water, as he casually said: "How do you want to spend it?"

  Lin Lan gazed at the beam, thinking to herself: "I've been in Beijing for several months now, I should have gone to pay my respects to my uncle long ago... and they still haven't given me the gift for meeting them..."

  Li Mingyun's hand trembled slightly, and his eyes widened in surprise.

  "General Huaiyuan's wife has invited me several times to come over and play, and the chubby little boy at the Jingbohou house is getting more and more adorable. I also want to go see him, and I also want to go practice medicine with Dr. Ling, otherwise my exquisite medical skills will be wasted. Along the way, I'd also like to take a stroll through the pharmacy..." Lin Lan said all this in one breath.

  Li Ming said silently: The one who says going to a pharmacy is strolling around a pharmacy, probably the only one in the world.

  "Want to finish all these things within a day?" Li Ming looked at her quietly.

  "It seems like it can't be solved."

  Li Mingyun's eyebrows rose slightly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Let's go to Uncle's place after a few days, and we can also attend Big Sister's engagement ceremony. We can bring gifts and pick up the return gifts at the same time. As for General Hua Yuan and Duke Jing Bo's residence, we can go whenever we want. Tomorrow, Ning Xing will be back. We still owe them a drink, so how about this? I'll accompany you to see Doctor Ling. Let's book a table at Yi Xiang Restaurant for dinner tonight. How about inviting Ning Xing and Chen Ziyu to join us?"

  Lin Lan didn't listen carefully to the rest of the arrangements and focused on Ye Xiang's engagement.

  Watching her daze off, Li Ming allowed himself to tap her head with a brush handle: "What's wrong with you?"

  Lin Lan came back to her senses, blinked her big eyes: "Okay, let's do it this way."

  Li Mingyu crumpled up the half-written letter.

  Lin Lan hurried over to grab it: "It was written so well, why did you crumple it up?"

  "It's ruined." Li Ming allowed a new sheet of paper to be spread out.

  Lin Lan scolded him: "Tonight you've wasted three sheets. These are all high-quality Xuan paper from the Chengxintang, what a waste."

  Li Mingyun innocently looked at her, it was all because of constantly nagging on the side.

  Lin Lan smoothed out all the discarded characters and stacked them up, carefully placing them in a small box like treasures.

  Li Mingyun didn't understand and asked: "What's the use of collecting these?"

  "These words are so valuable that they can't be wasted. When the time comes, these trash will all become treasures." Lin Lan said with a smile.

  Li Mingyun was speechless, just how much did this girl love money?

  The next day, Lin Lan got up early and lingered in the bathroom for half a day. Li Mingyun almost kicked the door open. Finally, when she came out, Li Mingyun took one look at her outfit and even forgot his urgency.

  "How's that? Don't I look like a dashing young gentleman?" Lin Lan proudly spun around, showing off. This outfit was still the one Bai Hui had helped her find. It was Li Mingyu's clothes from four years ago, slightly large but just the right length, and still about 70-80% new!

  Li Mingyun's gaze swept up and down her body several times, finally settling on the slight rise and fall of her chest, a gentle curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

  Lin Lan suddenly felt ashamed and indignant, and with a straight face and proudly said: "I wrapped it in cloth strips."

  Li Mingyan suppressed his laughter and nodded repeatedly, saying sincerely: "Yes, this way it's unrecognizable." But in his heart he thought: What's the difference?

  Lin Lan stared at him with suspicion, doubting his sincerity.

  Li Mingyun hastily entered the clean room and closed the door. Ye Zi slowly...

  Lin Lan heard a stifled laugh from inside and got angry, pounding on the door with her fist: "Li Mingyun, come out!"

  Until she left the house, Lin Lan was still huffing and puffing. She herself thought that this outfit looked great in the mirror, and had been hoping to get his praise, but instead was ridiculed by him. What's wrong with being flat-chested? Although I'm flat-chested, my heart is broad-minded, which is much better than those brainless big-breasted women... However, she also wanted to have a curvy figure... Sniff sniff sniff, since I'm not gifted naturally, I should work hard to make up for it.

  Li Ming knew he had committed a grave offense this time, so he was extremely careful and tried to please her in every way, obediently carrying a medicine box behind her like an apprentice.

  "Lin Lan, slow down." Li Mingyu jogged two steps to walk alongside her.

  Lin Lan quickly took two steps back and distanced herself from him. Li Mingyun caught up again, speaking in a flattering tone: "I apologize for my mistake."

  "So you're admitting that you mocked me?" Lin Lan glared at him, her self-esteem as a woman severely wounded.

  "No, how could I mock? It's just that I think it's fun to dress up as a man, really not mocking, really, I was mistaken, but my performance made me mistaken is my fault, so I apologize." Li Mingyan explained with a sincere face.

  See if she didn't believe him, Li Ming hurriedly raised his right hand: "I can swear."

  "Go, what's the use of making vows? Heaven is busy! Who listens to nonsense." Lin Lan glared at him and walked away.

  Li Ming allowed himself to regret it, actually he wasn't disgusted with her or anything, just thought it was fun, whether she had that or not, really didn't matter much, at most would suffer a bit later, just didn't expect her to get so angry.

  "Lan Lin, don't be angry, getting angry easily leads to wrinkles..."

  "Lin Lan, slow down, otherwise people will think I'm a debt collector..."

  Lin Lan...

  "Can't you talk less? We're out here to be doctors, not to chat." Lin Lan said irritably.

  Li Mingyun pointed at Lin Lan's hand and said hesitantly: "Forgot to ring the bell..."

  "Hmm! No wonder I walked several streets and didn't get a single deal, Lin Lan gloomily handed the bell to him: "You shake it."

  Then Lin Lan walked leisurely in front with her hands behind her back, while Li Ming Yun followed behind with a sullen face, carrying the medicine box and shaking the bell as he walked.

  In a deep alley, a door opened and a woman in her fifties came out and stopped the two of them: "Doctor. My daughter has been vomiting nonstop, please help take a look."

  Lin Lan followed her in and saw that the patient was a woman in her early twenties. She looked pretty, but her face was pale and she was holding her mouth with nausea. Lin Lan asked her a few questions and then took her pulse, smiling after a moment: "Congratulations, madam, it's a joyful pulse."

  The young woman looked surprised: "Doctor, have you examined carefully?"

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "The pulse is smooth and flowing, like a pearl rolling on a plate, the finger should be round and smooth, it's definitely a joyful pulse."

  The young woman was overjoyed. She also stopped vomiting and told the old woman to quickly give Lin Lan a reward of silver.

  Lin Lan patted her hands, the weight was not light, this business is easy to do, it doesn't take much effort and is pleasant, just about to show off to Li Mingyun, but saw Li Mingyun staring at a painting on the wall with a thoughtful expression.

  "Hey! What are you looking at? Let's go..." Lin Lan pulled on his sleeve, reminding him.

  They heard someone outside shouting: "The master has arrived..."

  Li Mingyun's face changed greatly, and he quickly pulled Lin Lan to leave, lowering his head. He bowed his waist and hid behind Lin Lan as they walked out. Lin Lan was suspicious in her heart, what is going on?

  The old man and Lin Lan passed each other, paused for a moment, feeling that one of them had a familiar figure, but couldn't think of it for a while.

  Li Mingyu walked out of the house. He wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh: "The capital city is too small, from now on I dare not venture out to practice medicine again."

  Lin Lan was surprised: "Could it be that you recognize that woman?"

  Li Ming allowed a wry smile to spread across his face: "I don't know that woman, but the father of the child in her belly, I do know. Good grief! Earlier, it really startled me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat. If he had discovered me, both sides would have been thoroughly embarrassed."

  Lin Lan wondered: "Who is it? Scared like this."

  Li Mingyun said with a dark face: "I am your direct superior."

  Lin Lan was stunned, and then suddenly understood that this small door and house could not be the home of Ming Yun's superior, and estimated that it was a concubine. In ancient times, men having three wives and four concubines was common, but there were also those who feared their wives and did not dare to openly take on concubines, so they secretly kept mistresses. These things were unspoken among everyone, but if one's own subordinates saw it, it would be quite embarrassing.

  Lin Lan looked at him and shook her head: "Your luck is really too good."

  Li Mingyun cursed in his heart: Isn't this too unlucky?! Who is this superior? The dignified Pei University Scholar, Chen Ziyun's future father-in-law!

  After this trip, Lin Lan received another business opportunity, but Li Ming refused to enter the house, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't again.

  Lin Lan had no choice but to send him to a nearby small teahouse for tea and went out to practice medicine herself.

  Lin Lan rang the bell and shouted: "Hua Tuo is reborn, Bian Que is back... Specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases, wonderful hands bring spring back..."

  When she first said that, Lin Lan was still a little blushing, but gradually her skin got thicker. She didn't shout or boast, who would care? Those fortune tellers also claim to be the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong!

  "Suddenly, a ringing sound came from across the street: 'Specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases, restoring health with wonderful hands...'"

  Uh! Met a fellow practitioner. Lin Lan looked up and saw a man wearing a blue cloth shirt, shaking a bell, walking slowly towards him, with a small medicine boy following behind him.

  Lin Lan smiled politely at him and said with good intentions: "I just came from over there, it's no business over there."

  The man, about twenty years old, had a clear and handsome face, with a gentle air. He made a fist at Lin Lan: "Thank you for telling me, brother." Then he pointed to the direction behind him: "I just walked all the way here without any business."

  "It seems we need to change places."

  The man bowed again and brushed past Lin Lan. Just then, a small medicine boy behind him sneered: "Young master, that person is really shameless, daring to call himself the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, the rebirth of Bian Que... even if he were the old master or the great master, he wouldn't dare boast like this..."

  "Hush... Don't speak ill of others, there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. In the imperial city, there are hidden dragons and sleeping tigers. He must have some real abilities..."

  The sound gradually faded away, and people went far away.

  Lin Lan turned back to look at the man and thought: This fellow traveler is really not bad.
