293 Visiting
He didn’t expect to hear his sister telling Mo Ruyue to get lost as soon as he reached the door. This scared him out of his wits and he immediately scolded her.
He had gone through so much trouble to invite Mo Ruyue to treat her. Now, because of this sentence, all his efforts were going to be in vain. How could he not be angry?
“Young Master, you should leave your words for your sister to hear. I still have other patients to see, so I’ll have to leave you for now.”
Mo Ruyue had no intention of giving Bai Shiyuan any face at all. Things like understanding the patient’s emotions and such did not exist for her.
If the devilish child wanted to throw a tantrum, then he could throw a tantrum at her relatives and servants. She was only responsible for treating the illness, not taking care of the child.
Seeing that Mo Ruyue had left, Bai Shiyuan knew that it would be useless even if he chased after her. Now, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to invite Mo Ruyue back.
Bai Shiyuan turned around and went back to Bai Shijiao’s room in a huff. As for how the siblings communicated, Mo Ruyue had no idea and would not care.
She had just arrived at Huichun Hall, and there was a long line at the door.
“Lady Qin, these people have been waiting for you for a long time. Before this, we even said that we didn’t know when you would come and advised them to line up with other doctors, but not a single one went. Your ability is more recognized.”
The person who spoke was also a doctor from Huichun Hall. He wasn’t supposed to be on duty today, but he had received news that Mo Ruyue might not be able to come, so he had specially come to take over. He didn’t expect that those patients would rather wait than wait for Mo Ruyue.
He was only speaking in a weird tone out of jealousy.
“If you have the time to talk, read a few more medical books. Maybe you’ll have the ability to be recognized.”
Mo Ruyue had just come out of the Bai manor, and she was already a little angry. This doctor was also unlucky to have directly bumped into the muzzle of her gun, and his face turned red with a single sentence.
Those who could give medical services in Huichun Hall had some real ability, but with a bright moon like Mo Ruyue, they couldn’t show their ability.
So if it was someone else who scolded him like this, perhaps the doctor would still have the confidence to refute. But after Mo Ruyue said this, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Mo Ruyue didn’t bother with him. After sitting down, he began to call numbers and began to treat others.
When she left, she didn’t bring Dong Qing with her. Instead, she left him by Madam Bai’s side. After all, Madam Bai had not said anything rude, so she was still her patient.
The morning passed by quickly, and it was time for lunch break at noon. The people who were queuing outside had temporarily dispersed to rest, and they would continue when the clinic opened in the afternoon.
Huichun Hall provided three meals a day, and the food was very good. Mo Ruyue was about to enjoy her lunch when she saw Imperial Doctor Tian walking over.
“Lady Qin, this old man is treating you to lunch today, can you come along?”
“Treat? Could it be that Elder Tian wants to treat us to a meal at Guanglai building?”
Mo Ruyue’s words stunned Imperial Doctor Tian. He immediately smiled and said, “No, it’s my old wife who has prepared some wine and food at home. This old man wants to invite Lady Qin’s family for a chat. After all, you still have to go home in the evening, so we can only hold the invitation in the afternoon.”
His words also stunned Mo Ruyue. Then she realized that she had wrongly accused a good person and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Elder Tian. I thought… Anyway, I’m very sorry.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Then I’ll take it that Lady Qin has accepted my invitation?”
Imperial Doctor Tian said with a smile.
He didn’t intend to ask Mo Ruyue about the reason for her attitude just now. It didn’t matter even if she misunderstood him. After all, she had already realized this and took the initiative to apologize. That was enough.
Mo Ruyue immediately got up and took the big medicine box that she always carried with her. As for her lunch, because it was untouched, someone would clean it up and give it to the beggars outside, along with the remaining food in Huichun Hall.
The two of them sat in Imperial Doctor Tian’s carriage and returned to the Tian family together.
Although Imperial Doctor Tian had retired from the palace and returned to his hometown, his salary and rewards over the years were not less. However, the operating room built in Huichun Hall had cost him more than half of his fortune. In addition, he had always been low-key and thrifty, so the entire Tian mansion looked extremely simple and plain.
It was just a double-entry courtyard, and the servants at home were all old people who had been used to it for many years. Only Madam Tian had two young maidservants by her side, and the total number of people in the entire mansion did not exceed ten.
“Elder Tian, why don’t I see any of your other family members in the residence?”
This was Mo Ruyue’s first time visiting the Tian residence as a guest. She immediately realized that there seemed to be only Imperial Doctor Tian and his wife in the house.
“My son passed the imperial examination and went on to be an official. He was sent out to be a county magistrate. My daughter-in-law took my grandson and granddaughter to follow him to his post, and we can only see each other once every few years. My daughter has already been married to a family in the capital. It is a long journey and one fear that we will not be able to see each other.”
Imperial Doctor Tian sighed, his words unable to conceal a trace of heartache.
Even though they had both a son and a daughter, they still needed the two elders to support each other and rely on each other for survival.
“Aiya, Lady Qin, you’re finally here. My husband has been wanting to invite you over for a long time. See, he only has this opportunity today.”
A kind old woman walked over. Although she was already old, one could still see the charm of the past between her brows.
“This is my old wife, Madam Lin. If you don’t mind, you can her Aunt Tian. In the future, you can call me Uncle Tian.”
Since Imperial Doctor Tian had said so, Mo Ruyue immediately changed her words, “Uncle Tian, Aunt Tian.”
Soon, the three of them arrived at the reception Pavilion. A few dishes were already placed on the table. They were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they were also very exquisite and tempting. It seemed that Madam Tian was also a master chef.
However, only Imperial Doctor Tian and Mo Ruyue entered the flower hall. Madam Tian stopped at the entrance of the flower hall.
“Lady Qin, you and Old Tian can eat first. There’s still a soup in the kitchen, I have to go and watch over it.”
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Mo Ruyue and turned to leave.
Mo Ruyue knew that this was just an excuse. Elder Tian probably had something to say to her, and it was not convenient to talk in Huichun Hall, so he called her home.
After the two of them sat down, Imperial Doctor Tian attentively invited Mo Ruyue to eat. He even personally scooped a bowl of rice and placed it beside Mo Ruyue’s hand.
“This dish tastes really good. Aunt Tian’s cooking skills are really extraordinary.”
Mo Ruyue picked up a piece of scrambled egg with Chinese leeks and immediately praised it.
In fact, to see whether a person’s cooking skills were really good, it wasn’t about his knife skills, but whether he could make the simplest dishes delicious.
Mo Ruyue was a good cook and a gourmet. So, she could immediately tell that Madam Tian was a true master of cooking just from this mouthful of food.
