Chapter 38: Business

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him and the siblings went to the academy. This time, the two of them used the back door again.

The guard was still the old man. However, today, he did not let them go easily. Instead, he glanced at the half-eaten pa in Su Ergou’s hand and said slowly, “Give me one.”

Su Ergou was speechless.

—

Su Ergou did not know that his sister was here to treat someone and thought that they were here to do business with the academy.

“But Sister, our pancakes are sold out! We… we only have these left in the bowl.”

But there was nothing he could do. He had only eaten half of one and the old man had taken two! Was there no justice in this world?

“It’s not for sale today. We’ll get the pre-ordered list from Shen Chuan first and send it over tomorrow according to the list.” Su Xiaoxiao explained it in detail.

“I see!” Su Ergou was enlightened.

“In that case, we don’t have to wait here to sell it, Sister! How did you think of that?”

Su Xiaoxiao hummed. “I just thought of it. Maybe… I’m smart?”

Su Ergou was speechless.

The two of them went to Dean Shen’s courtyard. The servants had already ordered them to let this little fat village girl pass.

“He is…” The servant looked at Su Ergou.

“My brother,” said Su Xiaoxiao.

“Ah, please come in.” The servant politely invited the two of them to an elegant room.

The Shen family was not rich, but they owned the academy after all and were considered a big family in town.

In the room, there was a table, a chair, a table, and a book. They seem to be very particular. It was the first time ordinary villagers came here, so they felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Xiaoxiao planned to let her brother relax. When she turned around, she saw that Su Ergou had fallen asleep on the chair.

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

She went to the patient’s room, which was next door.

Jing Yi was there too and he had just wiped his cousin’s sweat. Since there was sweat, it meant that the fever was receding.

“There you are,” he said. “My cousin’s high fever goes back and forth. Why is that?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s normal to have a high fever for three to five days. Did he eat last night and this morning?”

Jing Yi nodded. “He ate some plain porridge.”

Looking at it this way, there was some improvement. At least he could eat.

The doctor of Rongen Hall had not seen any improvement for a few days. The moment she arrived…

Jing Yi looked at her deeply and remembered Bai Ze’s report last night. “She’s a girl from Xinghua Village. Her surname is Su. She has a father, a younger brother, and three children. The three children call her father Grandpa and her younger brother Uncle. They should be her sons.”

Three children. How old was she?

“Her husband… ”

“He didn’t come out of her room.”

Since she was just a country bumpkin, Bai Ze did not continue guarding against her.

“Where did you learn from?” Jing Yi asked.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “My master is very low-key and usually doesn’t let me say it. But if you insist on knowing, I shall tell you reluctantly. My master’s surname is Fu and he lives in Spring Willow Lane.”

Bai Ze did say that after leaving the academy yesterday, she went to the house of a physician with the surname of Fu.

Fu.

Could it be Imperial Physician Fu from back then?

No, Imperial Physician Fu had passed away many years ago, and his age did not match that of the physician.

“Why? You don’t believe me?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Jing Yi said calmly, “No, I just feel that very few doctors are willing to take in female disciples.”

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “Isn’t it because I’m talented and have a good foundation? I’m a rare genius!”

Jing Yi looked at her chubby body and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m going to start treating the patient. Can you wait outside the room?”

Jing Yi turned around and left the room, closing the door for her.

Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “By the way, if you want to know anything in the future, you can ask me directly. You don’t have to get someone to sneak up to my roof.”

Jing Yi clenched his fists.

With Bai Ze’s movement technique… he was actually discovered by a small village girl?

Su Xiaoxiao took in his reaction. So he did do it last night.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over expressionlessly and bolted the door!

Jing Yi was speechless

Su Xiaoxiao took out the first aid kit from the small basket. Su Ergou had found this just now, but he did not open it.

She took out her stethoscope and listened to the other party’s heartbeat and breathing. The improvement was not great.

“Looks like the effects of the medicine are too slow.”

Su Xiaoxiao decided to give him an IV. He woke up when she put the pressure tube on him and looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion and shock.

Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “I’m a physician invited by Young Master Jing. I’m treating you. It might be a little painful. Bear with it for a while.”

The other party nodded and obediently did not move.

Doctors liked obedient patients the most.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle.”

Then, she pricked the leak…

This body did not have the muscle memory accumulated from her previous life. Her chubby fingers stabbed down according to the strength in her brain and decisively pierced over his head.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him regretfully. “Um, I might have to pierce you again.”

The other party smiled weakly and gently, indicating to Su Xiaoxiao that it was fine.

Su Xiaoxiao finally got it right on the third try.

… .

Jing Yi had been silently guarding the corridor.

Changping was ordered not to approach. He stood in the courtyard from afar, looking at Jing Yi bitterly and worriedly at the closed door.

Young Master Jing was really something. How could he let a small village girl treat Master?

If there was really a problem, let’s see how Young Master Jing would explain it when he returned to the capital!

The patient was not in a good state of mind, so he fell asleep again after an infusion.

Su Xiaoxiao came out twice to see if Su Ergou had caught a cold.

Jing Yi asked the servants to bring the charcoal basin into the house.

The last time Su Xiaoxiao came out was two hours later.

Shen Chuan returned from class and saw Su Xiaoxiao under the corridor.

“Eh, Miss Su, you’re here!” He smiled and greeted her.

Seeing the young man beside her, his smile disappeared and he cupped his hands. “Young Master Jing.”

Jing Yi nodded slightly.

Shen Chuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at Jing Yi. It was obvious that he had something to say to Su Xiaoxiao alone.

Jing Yi entered his cousin’s room expressionlessly.

Shen Chuan was all smiles again. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to her. “Miss Su, after everyone tasted your pancakes yesterday, they all said that it was delicious! A total of 23 people reserved it. The exact amount is written on the list! There could have been more but I was afraid you won’t be able to fulfill the order!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Sorry to have troubled you.”

Shen Chuan had thought it through. If there were too many of them, she would indeed be too busy with her current manpower.

Shen Chuan said, “I have my own convenience! I don’t have to line up at Jin Ji anymore! Speaking of which, do you only sell wife cakes? Do you have any other snacks?”

“Yes,” said Su Xiaoxiao.

Shen Chuan patted the fan in his hand. “That’s great. The Wife Cake is delicious, but if they keep eating it, I’m worried that they will get tired of it.”

Su Xiaoxiao realized that this young master of the academy was a glutton. He was probably the one who wanted to try out all sorts of snacks!

“By the way, there’s a medicine that you don’t have to administer. Continue to feed the rest.”

After instructing Shen Chuan, Su Xiaoxiao woke up Su Ergou, who was sleeping soundly, and left the academy.

Unexpectedly, she met an acquaintance at the entrance of the academy.
