Chapter 436 How to start?
Forehead……?
Enter the palace to be an imperial physician?
Pei Liangchuan raised his eyebrows and secretly curled his lips.
It's not like he was kicked in the head by a donkey and entered the palace to be a royal physician.
The freedom of earning fifty gold coins for a medical consultation is different from the toiling away in the Imperial Hospital for a meager monthly salary, where one has to kneel and kowtow all the time, and could lose their head if they are not careful.
Is it even necessary to say which one to choose?
As for being in charge of the Imperial Medical Service... sorry, he doesn't have the leisure time for that.
He was only interested in the palace's medicine storehouse, but now he had almost used up all of it, so why was he still staying in the palace?
When the palace's medicine storehouse is full again and someone in the palace falls ill again, he might be willing to come and visit again.
In short, Pei Liangchuan had no interest in managing the Imperial Medical Service.
He is only addicted to money, not to power.
The conditions proposed by Xie Rong did not tempt him at all.
Without even thinking, Pei Liangchuan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and esteem for me. However, I have always longed for freedom and am used to being unrestrained. I'm afraid I can't adapt to the rules of the palace. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Your Majesty."
Xie Rong's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Pei Liangchuan below him. He curled his lips and said, "What if I allow Doctor Pei to not abide by the palace rules? Would Doctor Pei be willing to stay in the Imperial Hospital?"
When Pei Liangchuan heard this, he wondered what was wrong with the emperor as he insisted on keeping him in the Imperial Hospital.
If he doesn't even have to follow the rules, then he has no right to stay in the palace. Otherwise, if he offends someone, he might die without knowing how.
Pei Liangchuan showed an embarrassment on his face and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have no virtue or ability, but I really have no intention of becoming an official. Besides, I have to go somewhere else. The capital is not my final destination. I hope Your Majesty will grant me this."
After these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.
Xie Rong narrowed his eyes and quickly twirled his left thumb with his right hand. After a long moment, he smiled heartily and said, "Doctor Pei, don't be nervous. I'm not the kind of person who forces you to do things against your will. Since Doctor Pei yearns to be a commoner and has no interest in the palace, I will oblige you."
"Take the reward and leave the palace."
"Lee Soon-jeon!"
"The slave is here!"
"Send Doctor Pei away for me."
"Yes!"
Pei Liangchuan followed Li Shunshen out with the reward.
Before the door closed, Pei Liangchuan looked back as if he sensed something.
In the magnificent palace, the emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne, staring straight ahead, his eyes dark and unclear...
-
Shen House.
Shen Qionghua stood outside Lin Wanru's yard and hesitated.
Even if she keeps delaying, there are only three days left. Tomorrow Xie Nanyuan will send someone to propose marriage. If she doesn't say anything, tomorrow will be even more difficult.
Shaoyao stood beside him, watching Shen Qionghua pacing around anxiously, not daring to say a word.
Suddenly, Shen Qionghua stopped, took a deep breath, and as if he had made some kind of decision, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the courtyard.
Shen Qionghua came earlier than usual today, and Lin Wanru was still having dinner.
When he saw Shen Qionghua, he quickly asked her to sit down and use it together.
Shen Qionghua thought about what she was going to say to Lin Wanru later and realized that it was useless.
But after thinking about it, I decided to use it with Lin Wanru.
Because she felt that after hearing what she said, Lin Wanru might not want to eat lunch, so it would be better for her to eat more while she was with her during breakfast.
With Shen Qionghua as her daughter, Lin Wanru used it more than before.
After the meal, the maid took the meal away and brought the tea. Lin Wanru then looked at Shen Qionghua and said softly, "Sister Hua, you came to my place so early today. Do you have something to tell me?"
As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother. During the meal just now, Lin Wanru noticed that Shen Qionghua seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she had something to say.
Nowadays, Shen Qionghua is in charge of almost all the affairs of the Shen family. Shen Qionghua rarely tells Lin Wanru about things happening outside and disturbs her.
Therefore, Lin Wanru felt that something big must have happened, which was why Shen Qionghua came so early in the morning.
Looking at Lin Wanru's concerned and gentle eyes, Shen Qionghua suppressed the shame in her heart and said, "Mother... someone will come to propose marriage tomorrow... to marry my daughter..."
Lin Wanru was stunned, her lips slightly open, her eyes filled with astonishment, and it took her a long time to realize what Shen Qionghua had said.
She turned her head to look at Shen Qionghua and saw that Shen Qionghua lowered her head slightly, and her two fingers kept twisting the silk handkerchief in her hand. She was obviously a little shy.
It seems that she was not hallucinating just now.
Lin Wanru was pondering the meaning of her daughter's words.
Someone will come to propose marriage tomorrow, but Hua Jie'er knows about it in advance and even comes to tell her...
This is... Sister Hua also has her eyes on the other person?
Did she understand correctly?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanru felt uncomfortable.
Hua Jie'er has grown up and has her own ideas. She doesn't tell her worries to others, and she keeps the man she likes in her heart.
Fortunately, he knew the seriousness of the matter and knew to inform her in advance, without waiting for the matchmaker to come tomorrow and catching her off guard.
However, Hua Jie'er is already of marriageable age, and now is the time to discuss marriage. If we delay any further, it will probably be delayed.
She was worried about Hua Jie'er's attitude towards Prince Rui before... Now it seems that she was worrying too much. Hua Jie'er already has a lover, so how could she enter Prince Rui's Mansion?
Lin Wanru felt very complicated. On the one hand, she knew that her daughter was old enough and it was time for her to get married.
But on the other hand, she was extremely reluctant to let go. Since her husband passed away, Ayi was young, and she and Hua Jie'er supported and relied on each other.
If Hua Jie'er got married, she and Ayi would be the only ones left in this huge Shen Mansion.
I just hope that person can be nice to Hua Jie'er, otherwise there is no one in this mansion who can support Hua Jie'er.
As she thought about it, Lin Wanru couldn't help feeling a little sad and had an urge to cry.
Shen Qionghua said this, but there was no response from Lin Wanru. She panicked and looked up at Lin Wanru. She saw that Lin Wanru was standing there in a daze, and her watery eyes seemed to contain... tears?
"Mother? Mother!" Shen Qionghua called out twice before Lin Wanru came back to her senses.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, she took a deep breath and held back the tears in her eyes.
He forced a smile and said, "Our sister Hua has grown up, has her own thoughts, and is now of marriageable age."
"It's a good thing to have a man who shares the same feelings with you. It's better than a blind marriage. I'm happy."
"Tell me, mother, which family is the young man who will come to propose marriage tomorrow? How did you meet? How long have you known each other? When did you fall in love with him? How well do you know him?"
"According to my mother, no matter which family the young man belongs to, we should still send people to inquire more about him. Once a woman marries, she will be tied to her husband for the rest of her life, so she must not be careless."
As Lin Wanru spoke, she became a little worried. She looked at Shen Qionghua with her eyes, wishing she could send someone to inquire about his character immediately.
When Shen Qionghua was looked at like this, she felt a warm feeling in her heart but also felt pressured.
How should she tell her mother that the person proposing marriage was none other than Xie Nanyuan, whom she had previously sworn had no relationship with?
And she is still willing to marry him?
