No matter what Mei Shuao said, he would not let Ji Yu live on the second floor by himself.

"Junqin, I don't want to share a bed with you all the time." Mei Shuao's expression was serious.

Ji Yu moved into the bed to give Mei Shuao a place to sleep.

Mei Shuao put down the quilt she was holding in her hands, and said: "I couldn't sleep downstairs just now, I was worried that something might happen to you."

"I have been here for 24 years, what can happen."

Mei Shuao saw that Ji Yu's expression was not right, "Anyway, I just feel worried."

Hearing Mei Shuao's whisper, Ji Yu's heart softened, and he said, "Go to sleep."

"I plan to rest in this county for a day tomorrow."

"It's up to you." After Ji Yu finished speaking, he turned over and faced the wall, "Go to sleep."

Mei Shu hummed proudly, looked at Ji Yu's back, and refused to close her eyes for a long time.

Early the next morning, Ji Yu got up to wash up first.

Until Ji Yu put the breakfast on the table, Mei Shuao was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Ji Yu had no choice but to call him a few times.

Mei Shuao woke up suddenly, "What's wrong, Junqin?"

"Get up." Ji Yu signaled that it was already bright outside.

Mei Shuao had just put on her clothes with a bit of hesitation, she slept a little late yesterday.

"Junqin, let's go to the county town today."

Ji Yu nodded.

After Mei Shuao finished washing, she sat beside the Eight Immortals table, stuck a bun into the chopsticks she was holding, tilted her head and said to Ji Yu who was sitting beside her, "How do you eat buns?"

Ji Yu looked at Mei Shuao speechlessly.

"Can I eat it with my hands?" Mei Shuao asked again.

Ji Yu didn't know what he was going to say, so he nodded.

Mei Shuao took down the big meat bun on the chopsticks with her left hand, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm not very good at picking up such a big bun with chopsticks."

It's not the fault of Mei Shuao, Mei Shuao used his left hand to hold things and write with his left hand when he was young, his parents took a lot of effort to get him to change this habit.

For such a big thing, Mei Shuao can't use the chopsticks skillfully with his right hand, so the steamed stuffed bun can't hold it and slides down.

Ji Yu understood, and said: "I also eat with my hands all the time."

Now it's Mei Shuao's turn to stop talking, in his image Ji Yu doesn't seem to have eaten anything with his hands.

Ji Yu glanced at Mei Shuao, reached out to pick up the steamed buns on the porcelain plate, and shook Mei Shuao.

Mei Shuao almost swallowed the steamed stuffed bun.

After dinner, the two went to the morning market together.

Yesterday, Mei Shuao didn't get the Su Ye that Ji Yu wanted, so he had to go to another pharmacy today.

"What does Jun Qin want Su Ye and Bai Zhi to do?"

"Take bug repellent with you."

"There are quite a lot of mosquitoes along the way." Mei Shuao sighed.

Ji Yu looked back and forth at the sheepskin wine pouches on the small shop, and said, "Are you drinking?"

"Drink, where is Junqin?"

"No, Master likes to drink."

Ji Yu walked to the booth and bought a sheepskin wine pouch, "Master has always wanted a wine pouch with a leather pouch, but I didn't expect it to be sold here."

"I'll use it for you." Ji Yu handed the wine bag to Mei Shuao, "I'll go to the wine shop to buy some wine later, and drink it with me on the way."

Mei Shuao touched the pouch with her hand, said with a smile: "Okay."

"Doctor Ji!"

Ji Yu followed the voice, thought for a while, and then remembered that it was He Zhong, the county magistrate of Yongyu City.

"See Master He."

He Zhonglian said: "Dr. Ji, why are you being so polite? It has been more than two years. He Mou is really lucky to see Dr. Ji again."

In order to treat He Zhong's typhoid fever, Ji Yu lived in the government office for more than half a month.

"Who is this?" He Zhong looked at Mei Shuao.

"Friends."

"Crassman Mei Shuao, I have met Mr. He." Mei Shuao saluted.

He Zhong smiled proudly at Mei Shu.

"It's great that I finished my morning market tour. How about the two of you going to the mansion with me?"

"my pleasure."

Ji Yu's image of He Zhonghe Yongyu is very good, not to mention the respect of the people, but during Ji Yu's treatment of his illness, he insisted on getting promoted and writing memorials, and he didn't let go of anything.

And this morning, He Zhong was patrolling the streets in his micro-clothes. He Zhong would take off his official uniform in a few days and go to the market and the streets to have a look.The so-called sympathy for the suffering of the people is nothing more than that of He Zhong.

"Doctor Ji is going to the capital?"

He Zhong was surprised when asked where Ming Jiyu was going.

"We came to Yongyu City to buy a horse." Ji Yu replied.

"That's it." He Zhong smiled heartily, "It just so happens that a friend from my official residence who is going to the capital also came. They have two carriages, and you can go with them."

"Thank you, my lord, but..."

Ji Yu wanted to say more, but was interrupted by He Zhong.

"But what, just bring two people, what the official said, he still wants to give face."

Ji Yu had no choice but to stop objecting. Although he was a well-known benevolent official, He Zhong's official airs could not be ignored.

As soon as they arrived at the backyard of the county government, they saw Xue Hongyi and his sister.

Ji Yu shook his hand.

"Yo, isn't this the younger brother of the Mei family?"

Xue Hongyi strode over and embraced Mei Shuao.

"Brother Xue." Mei Shuao glanced at Ji Yu.

Ji Yu also saluted: "I have seen Master Xue."

"Doctor Ji is here too." Xue Hongyi laughed loudly, "Don't be so polite with me, just call Brother Xue like Brother Mei."

"Since we all know each other, it's easy to handle." He Zhong stroked his beard.

"Let's go and sit inside."

Several people followed He Zhong into the main room.

He Zhong sat in the upper seat, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Doctor Ji is also going to the capital this time, is Security Chief Xue willing to take them for a ride?"

Xue Jingrou asked: "Is Mr. Mei going to the capital too?"

"Yes, I want to go back to Meizhuang."

Xue Jingrou tugged at Xue Hongyi's sleeve.

Xue Hongyi said unhurriedly: "Of course, Mr. Mei and I are old friends, so we can also visit Mr. Mei."

Mei Shuao saw that Ji Yu's expression was not right, so he pushed the teacup on the table towards Ji Yu, motioning him to drink tea.

"That's naturally the best." He Zhong said again: "Everyone, don't leave in a hurry, I will order my servants to prepare meals."

Xue Hongyi said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Thank you Sir He."

At this moment, Ji Yu got up suddenly, "Everyone is sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable, Mr. He can borrow a guest room for me to rest for a while."

"Naturally." He Zhong said to the maid next to him, "Baimei, take Doctor Ji to the guest room to the south."

"Junqin..." Mei Shuao also wanted to follow.

"Brother Xue Xian can accompany us here to catch up on the past, but last time we didn't have time to have a good conversation."

Ji Yu also told Mei Shuao that it was okay, so Mei Shuao had no choice but to give up.

When Ji Yu walked to the main room, Xue Jingrou suddenly said: "I don't see any physical discomfort. Miracle doctor Ji saw us with a guilty conscience."

He Zhong hurriedly asked: "Why did Miss Xue say that?"

"If it wasn't for his mistake, father and aunt would not have died." Xue Jingrou stared straight into Mei Shuao's eyes, with a hint of a smile on her lips.

Seeing that Mei Shuao didn't show any reaction, Xue Jingrou said again: "On the day of the martial arts competition, Doctor Ji troubled so many people, but in the end he still couldn't save the young master who was hit by the sword."

He Zhong didn't know, so he could only smile awkwardly and didn't know what to say.

"Jingrou, don't say a few words." Xue Hongyi was a little serious.

Mei Shuao sneered, what she said was to say a few words less, this is not a way to admit that this matter is true.

"Miss Xue, it's better not to speak nonsense if there is no basis, especially not in front of the person."

Xue Jingrou wanted to refute, but Mei Shuao went on to say: "On the day of the martial arts competition, I was there. At that time, the young master's sword wound was on the heart. He lost so much blood that even the gods couldn't save him. What can a doctor do?"

"But two years ago..."

"Jingrou!" Xue Hongyi snapped.

Xue Jingrou bit her lip and walked out angrily.

Xue Hongyi also had no choice but to get up, "Master He and Brother Mei Xian are laughing at you, I'm the only younger sister, it's important to be spoiled since childhood, I'll go and see her."

"It doesn't matter." He Zhong stroked his beard, "I just want to go to Doctor Ji to have a look at this leg. It hurts unbearably when it's rainy. Mr. Mei, sit down slowly."

Mei Shuao sat on the chair for a long time before getting up, thinking back to Ji Yu seeing Xue Hongyi's pale face at that moment, he felt uncomfortable.

Walking to the side courtyard, Mei Shuao wanted to find Ji Yu, but heard Xue Hongyi's brother and sister's voice from the room beside him.

"Jingrou, why are you losing your temper?" Xue Hongyi changed his sternness just now, and his tone was a little helpless.

Xue Jingrou was still very angry, "Brother, why didn't you let me say Ji Yu!"

"No need, you are Miss Qianjin, don't turn yourself into an evil woman in the eyes of others."

"I look like a wicked woman?" Xue Jingrou was a little incredulous, "Is it like you who hide your knife every day with your smile?"

"Jingrou..."

"Hehe, of course it can't be about Ji Yu, do you think I don't know that you put the licorice I use to make tea into Dad's medicine?"

Xue Hongyi's eyes were a little deep, "Licorice can relieve the pain of medicine."

"Yes, of course, I thought so at first, and I didn't call you when I saw you sneaking around."

Xue Jingrou looked at Xue Hongyi whose eyes were starting to dodge, and smiled wryly, "Brother, my good brother, you don't know that coriander flowers and licorice are cooked together, and you will die if you drink them?"

"Jingrou, I'm your big brother..."

"Father doesn't hurt, mother is gone. I know you are the only one who treats me well in this world." Xue Jingrou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Otherwise I would never have forgiven you at that time."

One month after Xue's father died, Xue Jingrou asked her maid to go to the pharmacy to buy licorice and came back. The maid gave her another piece of paper, saying that the doctor who took the medicine emphasized that it should not be used with these herbs, including Ji Yu's prescription. Xue Jingrou once carefully checked Ji Yu's prescription before remembering Daphne.

At that time, Xue Jingrou didn't eat or drink, and didn't speak a word to Xue Hongyi for three days, so Xue Hongyi hurriedly looked for doctors everywhere to see a doctor for her sister, and bought delicious food for Xue Jingrou in all kinds of ways.

In the end, Xue Jingrou cried a lot holding Xue Hongyi, blaming Ji Yu for Xue's father's death.

"Father doesn't love you, but brother loves you. Aren't we living a good life now?" Xue Hongyi comforted slowly, "Our family will ask Ji Yu for help in the future, so don't offend him."

Xue Jingrou suddenly laughed, "It's okay not to mention him, I think you just want him to call you Master Xue forever."

"That's right, Miracle Doctor Ji is ashamed of our Xue family." Xue Hongyi smiled, but there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

"Brother, I won't mess with you."

"Oh? Really?" Xue Hongyi was a little surprised.

"You have your own strategy, I don't understand. But you have to help me."

Xue Hongyi said: "Of course I will help you."
