The next night, Zhao Hui suddenly had a fever. She mumbled in her sleep and complained of a headache. Yu Shu was in a deep sleep and was woken up by Yu Xiaoxiu. She hastily put on her clothes, wiped her face, and then,
She put on her clothes, wiped her face, and ran out to find a doctor.
He Manzhi lived in the clinic. In the middle of the night, there were only people on the street. Yu Shu knocked on the door for a long time before she called him out. As soon as He Fangzhi heard about Zhao Hui's symptoms, he hurriedly carried the medical box and followed Yu Shu to the Zhao Family's house. It was not until dawn that Zhao Hui's condition stabilized and she fell asleep again. He Fangzhi washed his hands in the basin. Looking at Zhao Hui on the bed, he sighed and said to the siblings, "It's hard for her to endure this pain and beg for life. Otherwise, even the best medical skills can't save her."
Yu Shu asked with lingering fear. "How is my aunt now?"
He Fangzhi said, "She's fine for the time being. But it seems like this will happen two or three more times. Once she has a situation, you should hurry to find me."
From here to the clinic, it only takes a few minutes. It won't be a problem. Seeing that He Fangzhi had finished washing his hands, Yu Xiaoxiu quickly handed him a towel. He Fangzhi wiped his hands, squeezed his shoulder, and said with a smile,
"If you get up early in the morning, you might as well stretch your legs in the yard and jump up hundreds of times." In his opinion, He Fangzhi was a good doctor who treated his Aunt Huei with a kind heart. He was very worthy of his respect.
Yu Shu walked He Fangzhi to the entrance of the alley and suddenly remembered that she hadn't been to the Chamber of Commerce for the past two days. She didn't even greet the people there. She patted her head and went to buy half a catty of glutinous rice sticks for Yu Xiaoxiu and Auntie Hu as breakfast. Then she went to the Chamber of Commerce to ask for leave.
The memory of fighting her way out of the encirclement of hundreds of people at Shopkeeper Bao Ren the day before yesterday was still fresh in Yu Shu's mind. As she walked on the street, she felt a little uncomfortable. When she passed by, she heard many people talking about Taoist priests and beggars. She quickened her steps and jogged across the street.
Pei Jing was there when she came to the Head Hospital. He didn't scold Yu Shu when he saw her. Instead, he led her to a room alone and asked with concern, "I heard that you came to the restaurant to find me a few nights ago. Did something happen at home?"
Yu Shu bitterly said, "Something happened to my aunt. She hit her head. That night, I came to borrow money from you."
Pei Jing was surprised, "How is she now? Is she safe and sound?"
Yu Shu sighed, "Her injury is quite serious. She needs to be looked at again."
Pei Jing sympathetically looked at the child in front of him. When she left a few days ago, she was still full of energy. But in just a few days, her eyes were sunken.
"How much money do you need? I'll give it to you now."
Although the person she asked for was not there at that time and she didn't need money now, but Pei Jing's straightforwardness made Yu Shu's heart warm up. She thanked him, "I've gathered all the money."
Pei Jing sighed in his heart. If he could take this opportunity to let Yu Shu owe him a big favor, she wouldn't be able to go out in the future.
Yu Shu said a few polite words to him and asked for a leave. Pei Jing was very easy to talk to. He found a few account books for her, pushed the door and walked out, "I'm going to the Changmen shop. I'll give you a lift."
Pei Jing intended to find out where Yu Shu lived. Yu Shu saw through his thoughts, but she didn't feel offended. She appreciated his kindness and followed behind him. Yu Xiaoxiu nodded obediently. In his opinion, He Fangzhi was a benevolent doctor who treated Aunt Huei. He deserved his respect.

When she came to the Chamber of Commerce, Pei Jing was actually there. When he saw Yu Shu, he didn't reprimand her. Instead, he brought her to a room alone and asked with concern, "I heard that you came to the restaurant to look for me a few nights ago. Did something happen at home?"
Yu Shu bitterly said, "Something happened to my aunt. She hit her head. That night, I came to borrow money from you."
Pei Jing was shocked and asked, "How is she now? Is she safe and sound?"
Yu Shu sighed, "Her injury is quite serious. I need to see her again."
Pei Jing looked at the child in front of him with sympathy. When she left a few days ago, she was still full of energy. But in just a few days, her eyes were sunken.
"How much money do you need? I can give it to you now."
Although the person she asked for was not there at that time, and she didn't need money now, but Pei Jing's straightforwardness made Yu Shu's heart warm up. She thanked him and said, "I have the money."
Pei Jing said, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me."
Pei Jing sighed in his heart. It's a pity. If he could take this opportunity to make Yu Shu owe him a big favor, she won't be able to go out in the future. This is the second time that Yu Shu sat in a carriage. Last time, she sat in the Ji family's carriage to look for Xue Wenzhe. At that time, she was sitting with Third Master Ji, so it was inconvenient for her to look around. But in Pei Jing's carriage, she is much more at ease.
Although Pei Jing's carriage is not as spacious as the Ji family's, the interior of the carriage is obviously much more exquisite. The curtains are divided into two layers, one layer of gauze and the other layer of silk. There are three seats against the wall, and the base is wrapped in red leather. In the middle of the carriage, there is a two-tiered triangular round tea table. There are a few dents on the table, which is just right for the teacup and teapot. There is also a snack box with a blue lid. There is an elegant fragrance in the carriage, which comes from the sachet hanging on the Guojiao.
Yu Shu knows that Pei Jing knows how to enjoy himself. People wear different clothes, even the carriage is particular.
"I just came back last night, and I heard a big news in the morning," Pei Jing took the teapot and poured two cups of fragrant tea. He pushed one cup to Yu Shu.
"A few days ago, a Taoist priest and a beggar came to Vientiane Street. They gambled in the Baoren Casino and won more than forty rounds in a row. They almost broke the sign."
Yu Shu almost drank a mouthful of tea. She turned her head and coughed, pretending to be surprised, "Really?"
Pei Jing didn't notice Yu Shu's strange behavior. He looked very emotional and said, "This Vientiane Street has been built for more than twenty years, and gambling has been going on for a long time. There has never been such a thing. More than forty rounds in a row, and they won consecutively. I'm afraid that the Dayan Test's prediction is only so-so. If it wasn't for the banker's last resort and saving some face, the Baoren Casino's gambling area would have been removed by now. There really is always someone better than you, and there is always a higher mountain. It's a pity that I'm away from home and didn't have the chance to see the elegant demeanor of a master."
Yu Shu's expression turned strange. She glanced at Pei Jing and wondered how he would feel if he knew that the "master" he was talking about was working under him.
"Ahem, that rumor must have been exaggerated. Most likely, the gambling house's questions weren't difficult."
Pei Jing chuckled, "That means you don't know the inside story."
