The last sentence was obviously a joke.
Doctor Shen laughed as he spoke. He only had one son at his age, so he couldn’t bear to give him away.
He just wanted to prove that what he said was true.
Li Hehua and Xue Yifu laughed as well, naturally believing that it was true.
However, Jiang Yue kept it in mind. Xue Yan’s classmate, who was also Doctor Shen’s son, was surnamed Shen, and his name was Yuxuan.
Seeing Doctor Shen’s attitude towards Xue Yan, she knew that Xue Yan and Shen Yuxuan had a good relationship. Sooner or later, she would see Shen Yuxuan.
As for the nickname Shen Qing… It must be because of his writing right?
To have calligraphy before the age of 20, and to be called that by others, it was enough to show that Xue Yan had been in the limelight at the Hanlin Academy.
Xue Yan… Shen Qing…
‘No matter which one it was, they all sounded good.’ Jiang Yue thought.
“Thank you, Doctor Shen. Thank you so much.” Xue Yifu first thanked Li Hehua happily before asking, “Doctor Shen, how much does it cost to see a doctor?” As she spoke, she took out the money.
Doctor Shen laughed. “Let’s not talk about the fact that you’re Shen Qing’s family. I’ve already told him about this before. I often do volunteer medical consultations. There’s no reason for me to make money. I won’t take it. Just put it away.”
“This…” Xue Yifu still wanted to take it.
“Sheng Qing, why don’t you talk about your big brother?” Doctor Shen looked at Xue Yan with a smile.
When Xue Yan chose to come here, he had already anticipated that Doctor Shen would not want the money. All he did was take her pulse, it was obvious that he would not want it even more.
He would repay this favor in other ways, and it didn’t have to be money.
So, when he heard Doctor Shen ask him to speak, he smiled at his big brother and said, “Since Doctor Shen told us not to, we shouldn’t.”
“This isn’t good, is it?” Xue Yifu still felt apologetic.
“It’s nothing bad,” Xue Yan said with a smile. “When Yuxuan comes to our house one day, we’ll make him a few more good dishes.”
Doctor Shen immediately stroked his beard and smiled, “This is good, this is good. I’ve earned more from this. My pulse-taking isn’t worth a few good dishes. Shen Qing, Yuxuan was still making a fuss about going to your house to find you yesterday. If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s not yet time for him to take a break from school, I would have really let him go.”
Xue Yan smiled, “Don’t let him go if he hasn’t taken a break. Otherwise, you’ll hit his palm again. Even if you have many disciples, he’s the only one getting hit.”
“Isn’t that so?” When he said this, Doctor Shen laughed. “He just can’t study well,” he said. “His mind is always on something else. When I asked him to identify herbs, he recognized them accurately and couldn’t forget them. He often sees me practicing medicine. Now, he can barely treat diseases. I told him that he didn’t need to study for the imperial examination, but just to learn how to read. Even I know that he’s not good at studying. I’ve talked to him, and he’s okay with that and said he would work extra hard.”
“Yuxuan will definitely be able to inherit your mantle and become a good doctor,” Xue Yan said with a smile.
Doctor Shen laughed, “Of course, that would be for the best. Actually, I didn’t think too much about it. It’s just that I’m already so old and he’s my only son. I don’t want to force him too much. Since he’s the same as me and is interested in practicing medicine, then I’ll let him learn from me.”
After they left the clinic, Xue Yan and the others brought Jiang Yue to a wonton stall and ordered a bowl of wonton each.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue naturally had small bowls.
