A Difficult Case
Since Yuhua Pavilion had a divine doctor, there were naturally many people who came to see him.
Although Mo Ruo hadn't treated anyone for a year, his disciples all had outstanding medical skills. They were even more skilled than the Imperial Palace's Imperial Physicians!
The apprentice who was handing out placards at the entrance had sharp eyes and recognized the guards from the Rong Estate.
"Are the two of you from Prince Rong's estate?"
"Is Young Master Mo here?" Ji Yunshu asked.
The apprentice answered, "Master is upstairs."
"Go and inform him that there is a difficult case and I want him to take the pulse."
"Very well. Please come in and have a seat."
The apprentice led the two inside while the guards stood guard at the entrance.
They sat in the small hall in the backyard and the apprentice served two cups of tea.
Then, he went to the pavilion to inform them.
At this time, Mo Ruo was fiddling with the medicinal herbs in his hands. From time to time, he would pinch them between his fingers and sniff them.
He frowned, "These herbs are a bit damp. Quickly throw them away."
The apprentice hurriedly carried the pile of herbs away and threw them into a wooden bucket.
Mo Ruo said, "The medicinal properties of these herbs aren't enough."
Throw!
"Lan Yingzi didn't stay in the sun long enough."
Throw!
"Didn't I say that Kuizi should take the middle section? Why are these so old? "
Throw!
Almost all the medicinal herbs on the table were thrown away cleanly.
The apprentice, Ah Li, felt that it was a pity. Every time he threw away a herb, it was as if he was cutting his flesh.
"Master, if you throw them away like this, all the herbs in our pavilion will be thrown away. What a pity!"
Mo Ruo glared at him and said sternly, "Before I left, I told you that if any of the herbs have any problems, they must all be thrown away. Did you forget what I said?"
"No, Master. Ah Li wouldn't dare!"
Mo Ruo knocked him on the head and lectured, "Most of the quacks in this world will randomly prescribe useless medicine to earn money from the common people. If you want to learn medicine from me, you must remember this. Don't leave these herbs behind and prescribe them to the patients just because it's a pity. Understand?"
His sharp gaze swept over A 'li, and his body trembled. How could he still dare to say that he didn't understand?
Nodding his head repeatedly, he replied, "Ah Li understands. I won't become a quack doctor. I will definitely be like Master, practicing medicine to help the people, giving medicine to the poor, and becoming a famous doctor."
His fighting spirit was high!
Naturally, there was a hint of flattery in his tone!
Mo Ruo dusted his hands and shook off the fine medicinal ingredients on his robe. Just as he was about to say something to Ah Li, he heard a sound coming from the attic's stairs.
The apprentice who was at the door just now came to report, "Master, there are two people from Prince Rong's estate outside. They said they have a thorny case and want you to take his pulse."
"Prince Rong's people? Who is it? "
"I don't know him, but his attendant is from Prince Rong's estate."
Mo Ruo furrowed his brows for a moment, then relaxed. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
He instructed, "Go, invite the two of them up and prepare a pot of high-grade Longjing tea."
"Yes."
The apprentice hurriedly ran down.
A 'li scratched his head and asked, "Master, who is it?"
Mo Ruo reprimanded him, "Clean up these medicinal ingredients properly."
"Oh!" A 'li replied in a muffled voice.
How pitiful!
Mo Ruo got up and went to the open-air attic outside. This resting area was considered quiet. It was covered by a veil, and the tables and chairs were made of bamboo. Even the fence outside was made of bamboo.
It was very peaceful!
At this moment, Ji Yunshu brought Wei Yi up to the attic and was led here by the apprentice.
She saw that Mo Ruo had a pot of wine in his hand, and he was leisurely drinking it.
The fragrance of the wine wantonly filled the air.
Everyone knew that Mo Ruo loved wine.
"You're here? Have a seat. "
Mo Ruo used his chin to point at the seat opposite him.
Ji Yunshu didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Wei Yi to sit down.
Another apprentice came in with a pot of high-grade Longjing tea and was about to pour three cups.
"I only drink wine, not tea!" Mo Ruo reminded him.
The apprentice nodded and poured two cups.
The fragrance of the tea overflowed and mixed with the fragrance of the wine. It permeated the bamboo attic and rushed into the nose. It was light and refreshing!
"I don't usually use this Longjing tea to entertain guests. Have a taste and see how it tastes." Mo Ruo pointed at the tea.
Ji Yunshu wasn't in a hurry to state her intentions. She picked up the saucer and took a sip.
"It's very fragrant!"
"Only very fragrant?"
"Could it be that you added something else to the tea?"
"It's really a pity about this pot of tea. It seems that Miss Ji isn't someone who knows how to appreciate tea." Mo Ruo looked at his pot of high-grade Longjing tea with a distressed expression.
'What a narrow-minded person!
Isn't it just a pot of tea? '
Ji Yunshu smiled. "I'm afraid Young Master Mo thinks too highly of me. I'm just a commoner girl who's used to living a simple life. The knife in my hand is used to pick out bones, and when I cut the corpses here and there, what I smell in my nose and mouth is either the stench of blood or the stench of decay. My nose and tongue are naturally rough, and I can't taste this pot of good tea."
Mo Ruo's lips curled into a smile as he listened to her words. He didn't feel any sourness in his stomach. As a physician, he was used to hearing such things.
"What a sharp tongue!"
Wei Yi praised her.
As for Wei Yi, he downed the cup of tea in one gulp.
It was too hot!
He stuck out his tongue and fanned his mouth with both hands. He frowned and complained, "It's so hot. This tea doesn't taste good at all."
"You don't know what's good!" Mo Ruo glared at him. "This Longjing tea is a high-grade variety. No amount of money can buy it. You really don't know what's good for you."
He was displeased, so he might as well …
He drank a mouthful of wine to suppress the anger in his heart.
Ji Yunshu asked in a low voice, "Did I disturb Young Master Mo's leisure with my sudden visit?"
Mo Ruo drank another mouthful of wine. His eyes drooped as he replied, "My Yuhua Pavilion has hundreds of people coming in and out every day. How can I be so free?"
His tone was slightly intoxicated.
Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to speak, Wei Yi stuck out his scalded tongue and immediately retorted, "You're lying.
If you're not free, then why are you hiding here drinking wine? "
Looking at Wei Yi's sincere face, Mo Ruo couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Yi asked.
"I'm laughing at you for not understanding me!" Mo Ruo replied.
'Brother, if Wei Yi understands you, then what?'
Wei Yi seemed to have an innate hostility towards Mo Ruo.
To put it bluntly, he didn't like this guy!
He inexplicably didn't like him!
"I don't want to understand you. Your fart last time was too stinky. Moreover, you're not Shu 'er. I … I only want to understand Shu' er." Wei Yi pouted.
The next moment, Ji Yunshu tugged at his sleeve and reprimanded, "Don't be so rude."
"Oh!"
Very obediently, Wei Yi stopped talking and leaned back a little.
Ji Yunshu met Mo Ruo's gaze and apologized, "Young Master Mo, please don't bother with Wei Yi. He …"
Before she could finish, Mo Ruo raised his hand and interrupted her, "It's fine!"
Then, his gaze fell on Ji Yunshu's golden mask. "Take off your mask."
"Huh?"
