Chapter 171: 1st Infidelity, nd Intolerance
After Shen Shuyi returned to Yunshu Garden and rested for a while, he took Yuping and Jinzhu to Liancheng in the afternoon.
When Shen Shuyi arrived, the two pharmacists had not yet started their practice that day.
Just like yesterday, there were many people guarding the dilapidated gate and under the wall.
Shen Shuyi took a look and saw that most of them were poor people. The powerful families still sent servants and men over.
Occasionally, one or two people in gorgeous clothes could be seen. They must have known Liancheng's identity. Since they had something to ask of him, they were extra polite and did not dare to use force at all.
"Miss Shen is here." After the medicine boy opened the door, he saw that it was Shen Shuyi and immediately welcomed her in.
As soon as he entered the yard, Shen Shuyi saw Liancheng leaning on a recliner, looking so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring.
Opposite him sat two painters, who were sweating profusely and their faces turned blue due to his scolding.
Jinzhu couldn't help but ask, "Why is Mr. Liancheng so angry?"
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "The painter has never seen Lian Qiao, and can only paint based on Mr. Lian Cheng's description, so he has to adjust and ponder repeatedly. Mr. Lian Cheng is impatient, and it is inevitable that he feels that they don't look like her when he sees them painting. But he is not good at this, so naturally he is anxious and annoyed."
"So that's how it is." Jinzhu nodded thoughtfully.
Shen Shuyi did not delay, knowing that it would be difficult for the painter to paint a portrait that would satisfy Liancheng within a few days.
After all, it has been many years and Liancheng's memory has become fuzzy. He can only wait for the painter to draw it before he knows whether it looks similar or not, so it takes a lot of time.
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and saw Erbao squatting in front of the door helping to sort the medicinal herbs.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Second treasure."
The young man turned his head and looked at Shen Shuyi. When he saw the roast goose in her hand, his eyes brightened up!
"Miss Shen!"
Shen Shuyi handed him the roast goose he bought, and Yuping stuffed several wrapped cakes and snacks into his arms.
"The young lady said you like to eat these, so she asked me to prepare them in the mansion early in the morning."
Erbao's face flushed a little, and he seemed quite embarrassed: "Miss Shen, you are so kind."
"The two jugs of wine in there are for your master. Please give them to him for me later." Shen Shuyi spoke in a gentle voice, and the look he gave Erbao couldn't help but show more compassion.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen!"
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi didn't waste any more time and plunged into the study room that he had tidied up yesterday and continued to memorize books.
The sun was setting in the west, and in order to save some time, Shen Shuyi didn't even have time to eat dinner.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Liancheng was holding a wine pot in his hand, already a little tipsy, and said with a smile: "You have good taste, this Guo's wine is the most fragrant."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Sir, if you are enjoying your drink, I have something to say."
Lian Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at her: "What's the matter? I tell you, girl, don't push your luck!"
Shen Shuyi sat on the low stone pier in front of him, looked at him levelly and said in a gentle voice: "It's not a big deal. I just thought that although the master is not seeing patients now, the medicine boy will see patients for the people from time to time."
"So what?" Lian Cheng really didn't know what she was going to say at this moment.
"It is autumn now and the weather is still good, so it is not a problem for the people who are guarding the medicine boy with a glimmer of hope to wait in front of the door every day. But the cold winter is coming, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen, and they will inevitably not be able to bear it if they stay here." Shen Shuyi's voice is clear and soft.
Liancheng said nothing, as he had just moved in and had not thought about this matter.
"Why don't you have a medicine boy see the patients on fixed days every month? This way, ordinary people don't have to come here, and they will be spared from the wind and sun, and you can have some peace and quiet." Shen Shuyi suggested seriously.
No one knows better than her that this year will be a cold winter and next year there will be floods.
Due to internal and external troubles, the Daqian Dynasty has not been peaceful in recent years.
Lian Cheng said nothing, and Shen Shuyi did not delay any longer. After standing up, he said softly, "Shuyi, come back another day, and bring Mr. Guo's wine then."
It was not until Shen Shuyi and his group left that Liancheng raised his eyelids, glanced at Erbao who was eating snacks in the corner, and sighed softly.
"Sanqi, go and tell those people guarding the door to see patients on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th of every month from now on, and don't disturb me at other times!"
"Yes, Master."

That day, in the evening.
Shen Shuyi finished reciting the medical book he had written down during the day, looked at Yu Ping and said, "Let Jiang Li investigate the calligraphy work by Zheng Shiru that Qin Xuerong bought, to find out who bought it from and how it was delivered to Lord Zhou."
"Yes."
After Yuping turned and left, Shen Shuyi took the gold beads and agate and walked around the mansion, intending to relax.
Not long after, taking advantage of the night, a shadow knelt in front of Shen Shuyi.
"Second Miss! I have something to say."
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and saw Hongying kneeling in panic, seeming to be quite uneasy.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at Agate, who immediately went to guard the surroundings.
Hongying whispered, "Madam suspects that the Buddhist scripture you presented to the old lady was written by someone else, and she doesn't believe that you can write such beautiful calligraphy, so she plans to expose you at the old lady's birthday party..."
As Hongying spoke, she couldn't help but want to take a look at Shen Shuyi's expression.
But too many things have happened recently, and she felt that the aura of the second young lady was getting stronger and stronger, so she simply didn't have the courage to do so.
Shen Shuyi stared at her for a while, and said softly: "I already know about this matter."
Hongying raised her eyes and looked at her in surprise.
Jinzhu stood in front of Shen Shuyi and said with a smile: "Sister Hongying is thoughtful, but this thing is really not worth much. Thank you for making this trip."
Until Shen Shuyi left, Hongying sat down in despair.
What does this mean, Second Miss?
Since she returned home, she had never asked her to do anything, but she had the upper hand in her hand. The more this happened, the more uneasy she became.
After Shen Shuyi returned to Yunshu Garden, Yuping happened to come back.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Ask Jiang Li again, how is the matter that I asked him to keep an eye on Zhiyuan going now?"
Half an hour later, Shen Shuyi finished bathing and changing clothes. Yu Ping wiped her hair while saying, "Jiang Li arranged two women for her according to the young lady's instructions. Now his money has been emptied, and he has been kicked out of the house. He has been living by cheating and deceiving people all the way, and he was beaten twice during this period."
"Send him a message saying that Hongying is living a happy and comfortable life in the Shen Mansion."
"Yes."
After Yuping left, Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes to hide the depth in his eyes.
Once unfaithful, never forgiven.
Hongying has now learned her lesson and wants to surrender, but unfortunately, Shen Shuyi is not such a good person.
Keeping her now just serves another purpose.
After a while, Shen Shuyi opened his eyes, stood up and went to the table to tease the two crickets.
Jinzhu said, "Miss, my brother said the other more powerful one has been trained."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "No hurry, this one should be sent out."
