pastoral fragrance

Chapter 281
After the daughter of the Xia family got married, there was no voice of the noisy eldest lady in the house, and the inside and outside of the Xia family's house was much cleaner.The Xia family's servants, the drug boys, felt relieved that they had finally got rid of this savage and hateful young lady.When Xia Ziling left, everyone all showed relieved smiles by coincidence.

In this huge Rong'an Hall, probably only Old Doctor Xia wiped away two drops of crocodile tears on Xia Ziling's wedding day.So this Xia family's married daughter is not like other married daughters, there are crying mothers and sisters who are reluctant to let their daughters get married, and a kind father who is full of tears. Similarly, Xia Ziling is not like other brides, who are crying like pear blossoms with rain.She was even a little excited, and a little impatient to get married. The husband and son-in-law her father picked for her must be good.At this moment, she was sitting in the bumpy sedan chair, and couldn't help but imagine the appearance of her husband in her mind.

After Xia Ziling got married, although Xia Yan missed Qiulin, he did not leave.Now that Dad is getting older, he has to take care of everything here before he can return to Luoshui Village with peace of mind.

Old Doctor Xia had a total of three apprentices, and his apprenticeship also depends on his understanding and temperament.As a doctor, the most important thing is not to be skilled in medicine, because doctors who have studied medicine can basically treat common coughs and colds.The most important thing is that he must have a heart that hangs the pot to help the world, and is compassionate and compassionate. If his heart is not right, no matter how good his medical skills are, he will only harm people and not save them!

Therefore, regardless of medical skills, these three apprentices have at least a good character.Now the old doctor Youxia is still in charge in Rong'an Hall, but the usual medical treatment and medicine are handed over to the three apprentices below, only for some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he will go to the battle to ask for the pulse in person.

In this way, Old Doctor Xia became much more relaxed.And Xia Yan can leave with peace of mind.

Xia Yan stayed at home for a total of ten days, and the night before leaving, Xia Yan went to old doctor Xia's house to bid farewell.Xia Yan's father, Xia Qingsang, seemed to have expected Xia Yan to come back and bid farewell.So Xia Yan pondered outside the house for a while, hesitant to knock on the door, but heard a slightly vicissitudes voice from inside the house. "come in."

Xia Yan was hesitating, but when he heard Xia Qingsang's words, he pushed the door open and went in without any further worries. "Father, are you still asleep?"

A kerosene lamp in the room was turned on, and in the shadow of the lamp, Xia Yan saw his father sitting on the bed, his clothes half in order, and the thin quilt on the bed folded into tofu lumps. Obviously, his father hadn't fallen asleep yet. Intend.

Xia Qingsang suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xia Yan, the little boy in his memory is now a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, needless to say, he is handsome.Xia Qingsang's weather-beaten eyes suddenly revealed a gleam of sadness, "My son wants to run away all day, how can I sleep as a father?" I thought that when my son woke up that year, it was a gift from heaven , but unexpectedly, these years, the father and son have been together less and more apart.Whenever the night is quiet, his heart will be full of emotion, always feel that this family lacks a lot of things, and there is no family anymore.

Xia Qingsang's words pierced Xia Yan's heart like a sharp sword. He sucked his lips, but he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.Seeing his father's weather-beaten silver hair and Guo Zi's frown like knives, Xia Yan's heart tightened for a while, feeling a little stuffy.

At this moment, Xia Qingsang lowered her eyes, and said to herself: "These days you are busy in the pharmacy, and you have to look over the accounts and medicinal materials carefully. Those drug boys, my three apprentices, you Instruct them all carefully. Even the old slave who takes care of my daily necessities is good enough for you. The intention is self-evident." Xia Qingsang's tone was extremely lonely, which made people feel pity.

"I... I'm sorry." Xia Yan's face turned pale, he didn't expect that everything he did could not escape his father's eyes, he could see it clearly.So far, this is probably all he can say.

Hearing his son's apology, Xia Qingsang felt even more dissatisfied. He didn't come to hear an apology. "Ah Yan, I really don't understand why you would rather open a medicine shop in a village than stay here and manage Rong'an Hall for me?" Xia Qingsang really didn't understand Xia Yan's intentions. Just that attractive?It made my son want to take root there!

Xia Yan was in a trance for a while, seeing his father's urgent and reproachful eyes, Xia Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his tone was full of yearning. "Because there are people who need me." That's right, he wants to stay by Qiulin's side, share her happiness, comfort her sorrow, and he doesn't want to miss a single bit of her!
Xia Qingsang only thought that Xia Yan was talking about those patients, and didn't hear any ambiguous meaning.Xia Qingsang said a little anxiously: "Okay, let's transfer a medicine boy from the medical center. When you come back, Dad is getting old now, and things are becoming more and more incapable of doing things. Your eldest sister is married now. You have the heart to send me Am I left here alone?"

Xia Yan didn't expect his father to say that at all, and Xia Yan was a little dumbfounded when he called a medicine boy over.The words of refusal blurted out all at once, "No..." The words were too fast, Xia Yan saw that his father's face had changed color so much that it was about to turn into a liver color, he slapped his undulating chest hard, and shouted, "Nizi , if this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, what on earth do you want? You have to piss off your father to be reconciled?”

Xia Yan felt uncomfortable seeing his father getting angry like this.He quickly expressed his feelings and said in a hurry: "Father, you don't need to be angry. The child is not trying to disobey you. I will come back to inherit the family business in three years at the latest. I will never break my promise. But now, children are more important than inheriting the family business." I don’t want to give up on the matter, and I hope my father will make it happen.” Now the most important thing in his eyes is Qiu Lin, and what he cares most about is his marriage with Qiu Lin!Now that the horoscope has not been written, he can't relax!Otherwise, I'm afraid Qiulin will become someone else's wife by then!
Xia Qingsang's expression turned from anger to joy after hearing Xia Yan's assurance.But still muttered impatiently: "What is more important than inheriting the family business?" Xia Qingsang thought about it.In fact, he can't be blamed for this. Ever since Xia Yanniang died, Xia Qingsang has devoted herself to medical skills. How could she link this inheritance with the marriage?
"Father, in fact, it's not bad for me to stay in Luoshui Village. Now there are many families in Luoshui Village who are growing herbs, and after drying, they sell them directly to our family, which saves us from having to go to other places to get the goods from vendors. , doesn't it save time and effort?" Xia Yan found various reasons to convince his father.

In the end, Xia Qingsang finally nodded and agreed to Xia Yan's actions, but he also made Xia Yan repeatedly promise to go home often to see him, a bad old man.Xia Yan looked at his father's muttering expression, he was no different from a child, everyone said he was old and young, this man was getting old, and he was very fond of worrying.Furthermore, the eldest sister is married, and father has no relatives by his side, so he must find time to come back to spend more time with father in the future.

Fortunately, this Luoshui village is not too far from the town, and it is even closer if you drive a horse-drawn carriage.

The unanimous idea reached by the two of them, the obstacles lying in front of the two of them were cleared at once.The father and son chatted with each other for a long time, until late at night, Xia Qingsang was so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his eyelids.After the knot in Xia Qingsang's heart was untied, sleepiness would come at any time.Xia Yan stayed by his bed the whole time, watched him fall into a deep sleep, tucked the quilt for him, then stood up, and walked out of the room calmly.

On the second day, Xia Yan and Xu Nanyun went back to Luoshui Village.Now Xu Nanyun's injury has improved a lot, and taking a few more Chinese medicines will basically cure his illness.When he arrived at Luoshui Village, Xia Yan handed the medicine he had grasped to Xu Nanyun, and said: "Drink this medicine three times a day, until you finish drinking the medicine, your injury will be fine. Don't do heavy work these days, for fear of injury." It was reversed."

Now that Xu Nanyun's wife and children have separated, listening to Xia Yan's careful entrustment, it is impossible not to be moved.Xu Nanyun secretly vowed in his heart that he must live a good life so that he will live up to Dr. Xia's kindness in saving him.If there is a need in the future, he will definitely do his best to help Xia Yan. "Okay." Thousands of words finally merged into one word, which is the word "good".He will always remember Xia Yan's entrustment to take medicine and live a good life!
Seeing Xu Nanyun dragging his heavy steps towards the village step by step along the Qingshiban Road, Xia Yan couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but he felt that his back seemed to be bound by shackles that were difficult to break free, and it was extremely heavy.Xia Yan's eyes passed Xu Nanyun, and looked at the small green brick courtyard near the slope in the village, his eyes were deep and nostalgic, it was the house of Qiu Lin's family.

Before Xia Yan gave the order to go to the pharmacy, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy running towards him with vigorous strides, still yelling non-stop. "Brother Xia Yan, you are back, go quickly... look at my little sister, she was bitten by a snake..." Because Qiu He ran while talking, the voice sounded intermittent, but the words in this sentence The key words were caught by Xia Yan without any mistakes.

"What!" Xia Yan heard that, a lingering worry rose in those originally warm and jade-like eyes!He frowned unconsciously, looking nervously at Qiu He who was struggling to run towards him, Xia Yan's heart was tightly grabbed by something, and an unknown sense of fear surrounded him tightly .Xia Yan digested Qiu He's words, and made a decisive decision: "Get in the car, where is your little sister, take me there!"

After hearing Qiuhe's words, Xia Yan was shocked and frightened.The matter of being bitten by a snake can be big or small, if you apply some ointment on an ordinary snake, it will be fine, but if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it will be a big deal!Bah, bah, bah, nothing will happen!When Qiuhe got into the carriage, Xia Yun hurriedly drove the carriage straight to the village.The anxious Xia Yan lifted the car curtain with one hand, and hurriedly urged Xia Yun: "Hurry up!"
