Chapter 96 Retain
Ji Danqing walked slowly to Gu Xiran and revealed an elegant smile.
"This humble one doesn’t understand. Where did second young master get that notion?"
Gu Xiran casted him a sidelong glance and said, "Didn’t you say to congratulate ?"
Ji Danqing smiled, "Shouldn’t it be congratulated when second young master’s concubine got pregnant?"
It was hard for Gu Xiran to be stumped for words, but to find his (JDQ) mistake, he truly couldn’t find it. When he was thinking, he heard Ji Danqing say, "Seeing that second young master is so angry, could it be...?"
Gu Xiran looked at him helplessly, "What?"
"Could it be that the child is not second young master’s..."
"Talk less nonsense! There is no such thing at all!"
Ji Danqing shook his head laughingly and said, "What is second young master about? This humble one ant that perhaps that child is not a child that second young master wished for."
There were two anings about why he wouldn’t wish for the child.
Firstly, he didn’t want Yun Yan to beco pregnant at this ti. After all, the main wife had married him not a long ti ago. If the concubine got pregnant; that would be a matter that would sweep the main wife’s face.
The second aning was vaguer. Gu Xiran imdiately narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you making fun of this ti?"
Ji Danqing smiled helplessly, "Second young master has misunderstood again. This humble one didn’t an that."
His eyes were undisturbed and his expression was as gentle and elegant as ever. He didn’t show a bit of that he (JDQ) was mocking him (GXR). Gu Xiran had the feeling that his fist landed on cotton. He couldn’t help but also be helpless.
It was rare to see Gu Xiran stumped for words. Shu Huan couldn’t help but laugh and ca out of the inner room. She greeted Ji Danqing and said, "Doctor Ji, I have sothing I want to ask you."
Ji Danqing had beco closer to them and didn’t need to be so cautious anymore. He picked a chair and sat on it. He tidied his clothes and said gently, "Please, go on."
Shu Huan said, "Does doctor Ji also have knowledge about fragrances?"
Otherwise, how would he had recognized that a few other fragrances that could make people calm were added inside the Sweet Dream incense of that day.
Ji Danqing was soone who would understand by just giving a bit of a hint. One didn’t have to use much effort while talking with him. The mont he heard that, he laughed, "It couldn’t be said that I know very much, but I know a bit. The most important thing is that the formula was leaked out from . Hence, the mont I saw it, I knew."
These words ca very faintly from his mouth, but Gu Xiran and Shu Huan were greatly surprised after having heard that.
Gu Xiran frowned slightly said, "Why do you prescribe such a formula?"
Ji Danqing was extrely calm, "My reputation is well known. All kinds of people co to seek dical treatnt. The sick seeks dicine, this humble one would prescribe. As for whether it was the physical illness or ntal illness, this little one will not inquire."
He was a famous doctor of Jingtian city. His skills were naturally extraordinary. Thinking about the potency of the his (GXR) past dication, Gu Xiran’s face turned dark, "You are truly a benevolent doctor!"
Ji Danqing could hear the slight sarcasm in his words, but he still smiled softly, "An illness can be cured, a life cannot."
The aning of this was too deep, making people slightly startled. Fortunately, ijing ca in with tea. The topic was suddenly changed.
After chatting for a while, Ji Danqing lowered his head and drank so tea. He suddenly said, "In fact, today I ca to say my goodbyes to second young master and mistress. After staying here these past few days, I have been treated with great courtesy and also was able to be idle for a while. However, the Mid-Autumn festival is approaching. My old servant also had sent people to urge to go back a few tis. I also think it’s ti to go back."
Shu Huan was a bit surprised and asked, "You are going to leave now? Mama Du isn’t fully recovered yet!"
"She is already alright. If she takes two more doses according to the prescription and pay attention to her health in the future, she would be completely healed by late fall."
Shu Huan was still dejected, "I haven’t finished learning to paint yet. If you leave, I will have no one to ask advice from."
Ji Danqing smiled gently, "The future is long. I will still have to go to the residence in the future. Why don’t I look for an outstanding painter and recomnd him to go to the residence for second young mistress? It would be the sa then."
He insisted on leaving. Shu Huan lowered her head and thought for a mont. She was also helpless. She could only look at Gu Xiran to see whether he had sothing to say.
Gu Xiran said, "How about you stay for one more month? I still have to inquire many things from you. When we return to the city together, it would also be cheaper."
Ji Danqing was a bit surprised, "Is second young master not returning to the residence for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"I will let little fourth go back first. As for ...," Gu Xiran smiled slightly. "Is it not that I haven’t fully recovered yet? The environnt of the resort is elegant. Even if it wasn’t for the sumr vacation, it is a good place to nourish the health and recover of a disease. Not to ntion, there are still many siblings at ho who would make the elders happy. It’s nothing, if I was missing."
Scornful! This guy had beco addicted to pretending to be sick! However, when she heard that they didn’t need to return to Gu household for the ti being, Shu Huan still felt happy.
Ji Danqing was still thinking and said, "This..."
"Stay for one more month. If there are people who are seriously ill and couldn’t wait, trouble the shopkeeper to tell them to co to the resort for the dical treatnt." Gu Xiran laughed, "Otherwise, doctor Ji’s front yard would be as busy as a marketplace. You wouldn’t be able to be idle anymore."
"Right!" Shu Huan also helped, "Stay for a bit more. The autumn air is very cool. We could make two more trips to the mountain. There should also be more of those wilds fruits and the rabbits should’ve gotten fatter..."
Even thinking about it would make people drool!
Sotis, people would be in such a contradiction. The daily supply of food of the hospital was quite a lot. It was also bought with the money of the public account and it was not necessary to spent Shu Huan’s comfort money. However, the food piled up in front of her was not rare anymore.
Ji Danqing was presumably soone who liked to be idle once in a while. Hearing how they tried hard to retain him, he couldn’t help but smile and said, "Alright. Then, this humble one would be thick-faced and stay one more month!"
After finishing talking about the matter, Ji Danqing stayed for a while more. Seeing that the maids were busy moving things to here, he stood up and wanted to return to Bamboo Pavilion.
Gu Xiran sent him out. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and asked, "Can I ask you for a prescription?"
Ji Danqing was surprised. He reached out his hand out of habit to check his (GXR) pulse and asked, "Why? Is second young master not feeling well?"
"That’s not it. My body is very well!" Gu Xiran cased a glance to inside of the room, pulled him a bit farther away and said, "That the body is too well is also a troubleso matter. I say, can you write a prescription to avoid a pregnancy for ?!"
It was obviously a very embarrassing request. However, when he said that, he was very calm.
Ji Danqing couldn’t help but laugh, "Second young master truly is different. Usually, people co asking for prescriptions to get pregnant. You are the first one asking for a prescription to avoid a pregnancy!"
He wasn’t exaggerating. The ancient people put much importance on heirs. Not ntioning families who could afford children. The wive and concubines would work hard and try hard to get pregnant. Even families who couldn’t afford children; when the wife got pregnant, most of them would wait till the day of birth to see whether it was a boy or a girl. If it was a boy, raise him. If it was a girl, sell her. The places that would use prescription to avoid a pregnancy would only be the imperial palace and the brothels. However, these places had their own secret prescriptions. There was no need for them to ask for it.
Gu Xiran was also helpless and borrowed a sentence from concubine Yun, "Just to be prepared."
The self-control he had in front of concubine Yun didn’t work on Shu Huan. He didn’t know how long he could endure sleeping and holding each other every night like that.
When Ji Danqing saw that his whole face showed dejection, he couldn’t help but smile, "Right, it’s safer for woman to get pregnant after twenty."
He was a doctor and knew about this.
Gu Xiran didn’t want to discus this kind of problem in detail with others. He casted Ji Danqing a glance and asked, "Give an answer. Are you going to give it to or not?"
Ji Danqing had always been good at listening to another people’s advice. He imdiately replied, "Give!"
Shu Huan was in front of the window at this mont and happened to see the two whispering outside. Although, she didn’t know what they were talking about, but she suddenly saw Gu Xiran reveal a very unique smile. She didn’t know why, but her heart felt uneasy...
