Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 68
[Chapter 68 The Power of Thunder]
After sleeping until noon, Lin Xiu came to the Yishu Academy with his masterpiece.
He did not find Li Baizhang, but he saw Miss Shuangshuang first.
Bai Shuangshuang came out of the library with a few books in her arms. She saw Lin Xiu at a glance and immediately stepped forward and said, “Mr. Lin, I was just planning to go to the Lin Mansion to find you. I didn’t expect you to be here. What a coincidence…”
Lin Xiu asked in confusion, “What does Miss Shuangshuang want to talk to me about?”
Bai Shuangshuang said, “It’s not me who wants to talk to you about something. It’s the Imperial Physician who wants to talk to you. Do you have anything to do now? If not, come with me to the Imperial Hospital.”
Lin Xiu said straightforwardly, “Let’s go.”
He came to the Yishu Academy to find Li Baizhang, and he was not in a hurry. Miss Shuangshuang’s matter was equally important. In fact, her ability, in Lin Xiu’s heart, was ranked before Li Baizhang’s thunder. The
Imperial Hospital was not far from the Yishu Academy, and it was only a short journey away. Before Lin Xiu and Miss Shuangshuang had chatted for a few words, they had already arrived at the Imperial Hospital.
Miss Shuangshuang walked into a room and said to the white-bearded old man who was reading a book, “Sir, Master Lin is here.”
Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man immediately put down the book, came up to him with a smile, and said, “Master Lin, please have a seat, please have a seat…”
Lin Xiu had other things to do, so
he got straight to the point and asked, “I wonder what the imperial physician wants to see me about?” The imperial physician looked at Lin Xiu and said embarrassedly, “To be honest, the imperial concubine’s pet has been sick several times, and the Imperial Hospital was powerless. But Master Lin was able to cure the disease. So I want to hire Master Lin as the director of the Imperial Hospital. Master Lin doesn’t have to do anything on weekdays. If any imperial concubine’s pet in the palace is sick, you can just come to the Imperial Hospital to check it out. Of course, the Imperial Hospital will not let you work in vain. I will apply to the court to give you a monthly salary of fifty taels of silver.”
Fifty taels of silver naturally cannot attract Lin Xiu now, but there are people in the Imperial Hospital who can attract him.
If he has the identity of a hospital doctor, wouldn’t he be able to come here to exchange medical skills with Miss Shuangshuang? Wouldn’t there be more opportunities?
The Imperial Physician looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “What do you think, Mr. Lin?”
Lin Xiu didn’t hesitate for long, and nodded, “Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not. The main thing is that I like to save the dying and the wounded. To be honest, I also want to learn medical skills from the imperial doctors. I wonder if I can come here often in the future?”
Seeing that Lin Xiu agreed so easily, the Imperial Physician was overjoyed and said quickly, “Yes, of course, the Imperial Hospital will always welcome you.”
Lin Xiu smiled, and then said to Bai Shuangshuang, “Miss Shuangshuang, I only learned half of the art of pulse diagnosis last time. Now I happen to be free, why don’t we continue?”
Although the skin contact area between the two people is limited when diagnosing the pulse, and the replication ability is a bit slow, but if it is for the reason of learning pulse diagnosis, there is still a chance to touch her wrist for a long time.
As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, the Imperial Physician took the initiative to say, “Mr. Lin, you want to learn how to feel the pulse? I can teach you. Anyway, I have nothing to do now.”
Miss Shuangshuang also smiled and said, “Mr. Lin, the Imperial Physician is best at feeling the pulse. He taught me how to feel the pulse. He must be better than me at teaching you.”
Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. I suddenly remembered that I have an important thing to do. I’d better come to ask the Imperial Physician another day.”
Lin Xiu lowered his head and walked out of the Imperial Hospital mumbling.
Why is this old man so diligent? Is he going to learn how to feel the pulse? He mainly wants to have physical contact with Miss Shuangshuang. After being disturbed by him, if he still insists on learning from Shuangshuang, it seems that he has other intentions. He
can only wait until he is not around next time and find another opportunity.
After leaving the Imperial Hospital, Lin Xiu quickly returned to the Yishu Academy.
He didn’t know if Li Baizhang was in the hospital now. After going around the entire Yishu Academy, he finally found him by the back lake.
It is called Houhu, but it is actually just a larger pond. However, it is also one of the few scenic spots in the academy. There is a path paved with bluestones by the lake, and the grass is green on both sides of the road. Many students in the academy like to come here to relax during their practice breaks.
Houhu is also called Yuanyang Lake, not because there are mandarin ducks in the lake, but because many couples in the Yishu Academy like to walk and chat by the lake. It is easy for single dogs to eat dog food here.
The atmosphere between men and women in Daxia is much more open than that in ancient China. When Lin Xiu found this place, there were still many couples walking hand in hand by the lake.
Li Baizhang sat on the grass, watching the sweet couples coming and going, with deep eyes, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Lin Xiu walked to his side, sat side by side with him, and asked with a smile: “Why, are you envious?”
Li Baizhang looked back at him and sneered: “Just kidding, I will envy them. My dream is not a tree, but a whole forest…”
Lin Xiu just shook his head and said: “Don’t forget, we are the same people.”
The smile on Li Baizhang’s face gradually converged, and then he fell silent.
Few sea kings are born sea kings. Lin Xiu was once a pure little virgin who took his feelings very seriously. It was only the things that happened later that gradually made him what he is now.
But even now, he would envy those couples who only have each other in their eyes, without considering material and life, and immersed in sweetness.
Because what they have is what he will never have again.
That is the original appearance of love.
Li Baizhang obviously has a story. Lin Xiu did not ask much, nor did he say much. Instead, he took out the small jar of wine that had been hidden in his sleeve for a long time and handed it to him, saying, “Drink some?”
You have a story, I have wine, that’s enough.
Li Baizhang glanced at him and asked, “You brought a jar of wine with you?”
Lin Xiu said, “I originally wanted to drink with you. This is my treasure. I can’t bear to take it out on weekdays. It’s you. Others don’t even want to smell it…”
Li Baizhang showed a touch of emotion on his face, patted Lin Xiu’s shoulder, but didn’t say much. He took the jar of wine from him and opened the jar stopper.
The next moment, his expression suddenly froze, and then he sniffed suddenly, and said in shock: “This wine is fragrant…”
Lin Xiu smiled and said: “It’s fragrant, right? I said this is my collection. I dare say that all the wines on the market are not as fragrant as mine. Try a sip?”
Lin Xiu thought to himself that this wine is of course fragrant. Ten jars of wine have concentrated the essence of this small jar. How can it not be fragrant?
Li Baizhang couldn’t wait to take a sip. The next moment, the expression on his face became extremely complicated. It took him a long time to recover and exclaimed: “Good wine, strong enough. This is the strongest wine I have ever drunk. Compared with this wine, the top wine of Zhaiyue Tower is just like water!”
Lin Xiu said: “A real man should drink the strongest wine and sleep with the woman he loves the most, but I can’t drink much. I guess I will get drunk after drinking two sips. You drink it alone…”
If it was an ordinary wine, Li Baizhang might give way to Lin Xiu.
But this wine, in terms of mellowness and strength, was indeed unprecedented for him. He was also a wine lover, with countless wines in his home, but any jar was nothing compared to the wine in front of him.
At this moment, with his life confidant by his side, and his sorrow in his heart difficult to express, the only thing he could rely on was the wine in his hand.
He didn’t hesitate to be polite with Lin Xiu, and drank in big gulps. After a while, the small jar of wine was empty, and he rarely got drunk, and when he looked at Lin Xiu beside him, he also had double images in front of his eyes.
Before he fell on the grass and lost consciousness, he held Lin Xiu’s wrist tightly and said seriously: “Brother Lin, promise me that you will never get married in this life, you must not!”
After that, he lay on the grass without any movement.
Lin Xiu reluctantly carried him on his back and walked out of the Yishu Academy, sighing in his heart: “Another person with a story…”
…
When Li Baizhang woke up, he found himself in a strange bed.
He was instantly alert, sat up from the bed, looked around, and realized that this should be a guest room in an inn. He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door, pushed it open, and found that this was the Moon-Picking Tower.
The waiter at the door had been waiting for him. When he saw him come out, he hurriedly said, “Sir, a young man named Lin sent you here. He also asked the kitchen to make you a hangover soup. Do you want it to be sent to your room now?”
Li Baizhang nodded and said, “Go.”
He walked back to the room and recalled what happened before he got drunk. His expression was a little helpless. In fact, he was just feeling sentimental, but Lin Xiu’s words led his thoughts, and coupled with this irresistible wine, he finally couldn’t control his emotions and got drunk for the first time in his life.
This was the first time in his life.
It’s not his fault. It’s really that the wine is too fragrant. It’s a taste that any wine lover can’t refuse. I don’t know where Lin Xiu got it from. I must ask him clearly next time…
At this time, Lin Mansion. Lin
Xiu walked into the room, closed the door, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out his right hand, with his fingers slightly bent. Several arcs of electricity flickered on his fingertips…
