Chapter 165 Sisters

 The rain in early summer was damp, and the drops hit the windows, leaving wet marks on them.

Lin Danqing held the wine jar and rested his head on it, his eyes a little dazed.

She thought of the afternoon when she learned about the marriage, and her first thought was, what would happen to her aunt if she got married?

The poison of "shooting in the eyes" became more and more serious every year. When she got married six or seven years later, my aunt Qi could no longer see.

Father will not treat his aunt harshly, but he will not pay attention to everything in detail. If the servants in the family do not take good care of her, if she is bullied by bad people in the house, if...

Countless thoughts were running through her mind. Young Lin Danqing shivered and did not dare to think about it further.

“I thought, I must not get married, at least not until my aunt’s eyesight is better.”

 But a person's life is generally true as Mr. Yin Yang said, each has its own destiny. Some people have a good life and have a worry-free life, while some people have a bad life and have a difficult road ahead.

A concubine who is not favored, a concubine who lives in four houses, her fate seems to have been fixed in the circle, and it is difficult to escape.

“In order to make my aunt’s situation better, I started trying to please him.” Lin Danqing said.

 Her temperament is actually not as gentle as her aunt's, nor as mediocre as her father's. She is born to be strong. In the past many years, due to my father's alienation, I felt angry and never took the initiative to come forward.

 But for the sake of her aunt, she decided to learn to please her father.

After all, she can't protect her aunt forever.

She thought that as long as she pleased her father and made him truly love his daughter, maybe after she got married in the future, her father would be able to remember this little bit of affection between father and daughter and treat her better.

So she began to change her temperament, trying to talk carelessly and walk cheerfully. She heard that everyone likes children who smile and are lovable, so she tried her best to look like a shining sun.

 Her father's attitude towards her gradually changed, and sometimes he would even joke with her.

 But what really changed her father's attitude was when she finished memorizing half of the medical classics in his study one day.

 After she finished memorizing half of the medical scripture, her father's eyes changed when he looked at her.

 Amazement, relief, excitement, and a hint of real love.

like.

Lin Danqing suddenly laughed.

She held the wine jar with both hands, raised her head and took a big gulp, letting out a long sigh.

“My two brothers, who are full-blooded children, have mediocre qualifications. They struggled to recite a medical classic for several years, but I recited it all at once.”

"My father asked me how long I had memorized it, and I said I had memorized it for three days. In fact, I memorized that book for a whole month, during the day and at night, but I deliberately said it in front of him so calmly that he thought I'm a genius."

Lin Danqing was overjoyed: “He really thinks I’m a genius!”

Being a medical officer in the Medical Officer's Hospital is a good job. Although the salary is not as generous as those of high-ranking officials, he often moves among high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are many benefits of connections.

Medical Officer Lin was in poor health and left Hanlin Medical Officer's Hospital, but he was reluctant to let go of his connections.

 He needs an heir.

The two sons of the Lin family were not expected to study medicine, but there was always a path to success. The daughter of a concubine seemed to be a medical genius.

 “He sent me to the Imperial Medical Bureau.” Lin Danqing stopped laughing.

 Most of the students in the Imperial Medical Bureau are the children of medical officers, and they are also the candidates for the future selection of new medical officers in Hanlin Medical Officer Academy. Lin Danqing realized that if she could excel in the imperial medical bureau, enter the Imperial Medical College in the future, and inherit her father's legacy, she would not have to face the fate of marrying early, and would be able to protect her mother all the time.

 That's another way.

There is no need to please anyone, but the initiative is in her own hands. As long as her ability is better than that of the two legitimate brothers, the concubine can become a legitimate daughter, and the daughter can become a son.

“Sister Lu, I understood something at that time.”

Lin Danqing said calmly: "Those without skills suffer the most. Skills alone can help the world."

On a quiet rainy night, Lin Danqing stretched out his chopsticks and picked out a piece of spicy hoof to eat.

The hooves were so spicy that the girl's face turned red and her eyes became moist.

 “My father was very good to me after that.”

 It is ironic that in the past few years, whether she was humble and cautious or deliberately eager to please, it was not as effective as the medical officers praising her in front of her father after entering the Imperial Medical Bureau. Her father admired her excellence, and even the servants in her aunt's courtyard became more and more careful - her father had specifically ordered her.

 The gravel on the beach suddenly turned into a pearl in the palm of your hand.

 Her father greeted her and asked the gentlemen of the Imperial Medical Bureau to take more care of her. Every time she returned home from school, she was sent large boxes of food. She was greeted every once in a while, and the father and daughter studied medical classics and pharmacology together.

 The classmates all envied her for having such a good father.

 She smiled brightly and accepted everything happily.

"Actually, I told you before that I was jealous of you, and it was not a lie." Lin Danqing raised his head, looked at Lu Zong and said seriously.

 Lu Zong looked at her.

“Before you showed up, I studied at the Imperial Medical Bureau for three years, and I ranked first in every exam. I thought that I was the first person on the red list in the Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but I didn’t expect that you would appear in the middle of the exam.”

Lin Danqing sounded angry.

Because she failed to get first place on the red list of the spring exam, her father had some criticisms of her. Although he didn't say it out loud, the look in his eyes implied disappointment.

"I don't care about him." Lin Danqing spat, probably because he was drunk from the green plum wine, and his words became more and more arrogant, "In the years when he was studying in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he never got the first place, and he was working in the Medical Officer's College like this He hasn't accomplished anything for a long time, so why should he be disappointed in me? I haven't been disappointed in him yet!"

Lu Zong couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Danqing glanced at her and sighed: "Well, actually, when I first entered the medical hospital, I approached you on purpose. I wanted to see where I was falling short. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. You beat me once , but you can’t beat me every time.”

 “Who knows—”

　　She said in a long voice: "It's so pathetic, how can you be worse off than me!"

 She actually approached Lu Yan with hostility, even though she pretended to be enthusiastic and helpful.

However, Lu Zhen's situation turned out to be unexpectedly bad.

As soon as he entered the medical hospital, he was assigned to the Nanjing Pharmacy to pluck red hair. When he came back from the Nanpharmacy, he was assigned to that old pervert Jin Xianrong.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Zhu was clearly being targeted.

 It was so miserable that Lin Danqing was embarrassed to continue targeting her. Even those little thoughts of hostility are guilt-inducing.

"Then I thought, you are no match for me when you are suppressed by the Medical Academy. Why should I use you as my opponent? You can't win without force. And," she blinked, "you also told me to 'shoot in the eyes' 's antidote."

  Lu Huo shook his head: "You made the antidote yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

"That's why you told me the direction!" Lin Danqing pushed the wine jar in front of Lu Zong towards her, "So I bought you a drink to express my gratitude! Why don't you drink?"

 Lu Tong: “…”

She picked up the wine jar and also lowered her head to take a sip.

very sour.

Lin Danqing was satisfied.

On a windy and rainy night, the green plum wine was hot, and the table was full of hot snacks. Her ponytail, which was usually tied high, was all down and hanging on her shoulders. She leaned against the low couch with her body tilted, just like she had snuggled up on the bed and whispered when she was young. little sisters.

 She picked up a peanut and threw it into her mouth: "Actually, I don't like to take ten days off every month."

“If it weren’t for my aunt, I wouldn’t want to go back to that home. I don’t want to see my father, nor my two brothers.”

 “They always ask me irrelevant questions.”

Who else has come to the hospital? Did you get to know any new officials when you were on duty? Do you have a close relationship with fellow hospital officials? Will you be able to win the favor of the ladies in the harem in the future?

 The small talk after returning home is not just a small talk, it is just another kind of exam homework.

"Don't look at me returning to the hospital during the break. The big and small packages are full of snacks and clothes, but I think they are not as good as your green-shelled eggs." Lin Danqing lowered his head and poked the peanuts in the plate with chopsticks. The peanuts were round and round. She poked it randomly and it scattered everywhere.

"That day, I said that if you had nowhere to go, you might as well go to my house. In fact, I was afraid that you would agree."

"You are so smart. If you came to my house, you would immediately realize that I am not as good as others say... How embarrassing! Fortunately, you refused."

Lin Danqing burped, looked at Lu Huan and asked: "Sister Lu, if I tell you this, will you look down on me?"

 It was raining continuously outside the window, Lu Huo said: "No."

"real?"

"real."

Lin Danqing was very happy. He raised the wine jar and touched it to Lu Shu: "Good sister!" He raised his head and took a big sip, grinning from ear to ear.

 Lu Zong looked at her quietly.

 She knows that Lin Danqing has always been smart.

Although this girl looks bright and cheerful and looks carefree, she is actually rough and subtle, and she skillfully maintains a good relationship with everyone in the medical hospital. Yi Zhongjin was a rigid and polite person, but Lin Danqing often went out to buy late-night snacks behind his back. When Chang Jin saw her, he just verbally scolded her and never really got angry with her. She is as dark and narrow as Cui Min. She was tattooed a few times by Lin Danqing, but he never really felt sorry for her.

Lin Danqing skillfully moves among these people to maintain a balanced relationship. This made her boldness and cheerfulness seem slightly inconsistent, but tonight, the answer was found.

 Brightness and cheerfulness are her masks.

 Under this casual smiling face, the unwillingness and gloom are the reality.

This is the real Lin Danqing.

With not much green plum wine left, she put the wine jar on the table, looked at Lu Yan, and approached mysteriously: "Sister Lu, let me tell you, I have a wish."

 Lu Huo: “What wish?”

"I," she pointed at herself, and said boldly, "I want to be the envoy!"

 “Envoy?”

Lin Danqing chuckled, put his face on his hands and said vaguely: "It turns out that I want to be an envoy because of my aunt. As long as I become a high official, my father will naturally not dare to neglect me, and I don't have to get married. He will stay with me for the rest of my life. Just aunt."

 “But not anymore.”

“Now, I want to be an envoy for the people of the world.”

Her expression changed, she slapped the table abruptly, and the food and wine on the table were shaken by her three times. She said angrily: "Look at the group of people in the Medical Officer's Hospital now, with their chests and belly stretched out, gesticulating, and they understand everything. Doctor Not many cases are written seriously. A person like you who is really talented and learned is sent to the Nanjing Pharmacy to collect poisonous weeds, while a person like Cao Huai, who is at the bottom of the Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, is given a good job."

 “What a **** world! Cui Min himself is a mediocre person with a high status, yet he suppresses mediocre people like this.”

"If I were to be the envoy of the hospital, I would naturally appoint people on their merits, regardless of whether they are ordinary people or high-ranking officials. I would treat them all equally, and those who are capable would be at the top! The Medical Officer's Academy is here to save people, not to make friends. I just want to make all the ordinary people in the world be equal. If you have a chance, fight for fairness!"

 The rain kept falling, and there was only the sound of gloomy rain between the sky and the earth.

After finishing the last sip of green plum wine, Lin Danqing looked at Lu Yan. She was so drunk that she could hardly open her eyes. She still had a habitual smile on her lips, "If I become the chief envoy in the future, sister Lu, you will be the deputy chief." "He..." shook his head again, "No, your medical skills are better than mine, so you should be the principal envoy and I would be the deputy envoy..."

 “We have two swords together, and we can feel proud together.”

The voice gradually became quieter.

 “Okay?”

 Lu Xu: "Okay."

Lin Danqing gave her a thumbs up: "...Good sister." He then raised the wine jar unsteadily, pretending to toast Lu Zong: "Come on, I wish you and I will become the envoy!"

Lu Xu lowered his head and grabbed the mouth of the wine jar, but before he could lift it up—

 A "bang" sound.

Lin Danqing fell down on the table and fell asleep.

The wine jar rolled on the mat at your feet, and the room fell into silence again.

Lu Zong held up the heavy wine jar for a long time, then lowered his head and took a silent sip.

Plum wine is sour, sweet in the mouth, and full of bitterness when swallowed.

 It is raining and windy outside the window.
