Chapter 628 Comfort
Chapter 628 Comfort
Immediately, Song Ying felt extremely ashamed. As her master's apprentice, she had not even thought of this. She was truly incompetent.
Yuan Qing saw her guilt and said, "This is not your fault. In your heart, Doctor Lin is a perfect person. She was the one who saved the entire Lin family. Naturally, you think the Lin family treats her well.
It doesn't make sense to move out when your family is there instead of living with them."
Song Ying was comforted. She had thought that a family that could raise someone as open-minded as her master and someone as sincere and kind-hearted as her senior brother should have a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
After arriving at the Lin family, I realized that I had taken things for granted and ignored the world's ill will towards older unmarried women. Even someone like my master who had done a great favor to the family would be criticized and despised for being an old maid.
In fact, with her master's wealth, it would not be difficult for her to buy a house in the capital, but she couldn't.
If she moved out, the Lin family would be criticized and scolded.
So, Master’s choice to accept offerings from the Shen family was also a reason for him to stay away from the Lin family?
She suddenly felt a little impatient and wanted to go back to the Lin family immediately to tell her master the news and tell her that she now had a reason to move out.
Song Ying stood up and said, "Let's go back and convince Master first!"
This reason is still a bit far-fetched. The master values the family so much that he may not agree. She has to convince her. She hopes that the master can consider her more!
The Lin family is also in the east of the city, not far from here, and it only takes half a quarter of an hour by carriage.
Just as they arrived at the Lin family's house, before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, they heard Lin Wenxuan's resentful voice penetrate the curtains: "Where have you two been going?"
Song Ying lifted the curtain of the carriage, but saw him standing against the door, looking like a young wife who had been let down.
Song Ying then remembered the agreement and immediately blushed, "I have something urgent to deal with. I won't buy the earthenware today. Let's go tomorrow!"
"Emergency?" Lin Wenxuan looked suspicious. "What urgent matter could you two have in the capital? Did someone ask you to see a patient?"
That shouldn't be the case. Although my aunt took my junior sister to various mansions to demonstrate her medical skills, her reputation didn't spread. Even if these people really had an emergency at home, they would have asked my aunt to go first.
Even if someone thinks of inviting her, someone should come to pick her up!
Song Ying jumped out of the car and said, "No, that's not the case. Hey, Senior Brother, I have something urgent to tell you. I won't tell you now."
Throwing down these words, she walked past him and hurried inside, leaving Lin Wenxuan with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at Yuan Qing and asked, "What's the urgent matter?"
Yuan Qing smiled slightly and slowly straightened his sleeves. "When the time comes, I will know."
That calm and composed look made Lin Wenxuan so angry that he felt like he had a lump in his chest, unable to breathe out or down.
So he waited for half an hour in vain!
When Song Ying returned to the yard, Doctor Lin was sorting books, and two maids were carrying the books in piles to the yard to dry them.
During the Chinese Valentine's Day, he was preoccupied with the case and had no mood to think about these things. Now that the dust has settled, Dr. Lin plans to take advantage of the sun to quickly move all the books out and dry them in the sun.
When Song Ying entered, he saw the room in a mess, with no place to put his feet. Doctor Lin was leaning on a chair, reading a book intently, with a feather duster next to him.
Apparently, she was dusting off a book, but as she was doing that, she became attracted by the contents and became fascinated by it.
"Master, I have something to tell you!"
Song Ying leaned sideways and tiptoed through the boxes and cages and sat down opposite Doctor Lin.
Doctor Lin was still reading a book, and without looking up, he asked, "What's the matter?"
After she finished speaking, she paused and looked up suspiciously, "Aren't you going to buy earthenware with Wenxuan and the others today?"
"We'll talk about that tomorrow. Yuan Qing bought a house in Yuqian Lane. We'd like you to move in and help take care of it."
Doctor Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, "He seems to be very confident. He must be almost certain to win the imperial examination next year.
Okay, I'll have someone watch over it. If you're coming, bring a message in advance so I can have people clean up and prepare in advance, making sure you can move in as soon as you arrive in the capital.
Yuqian Lane is a nice place, surrounded by civil officials and nobles."
Song Ying shook her head: "We want you to move in."
Doctor Lin was stunned for a moment and repeated, "I move there?"
Song Ying nodded and smiled sheepishly, "The house has been uninhabited for a long time and has lost its vitality. Master, we don't have any other relatives in the capital, so I can only ask you for help."
Doctor Lin put down the book in his hand, stared at her and said, "Stop fooling me. What's going on in this house?"
"It's nothing, it's a normal house, there's nothing wrong with it." Song Ying pretended to be stupid.
Doctor Lin stared at her without saying a word.
But after a moment, Song Ying couldn't hold it back anymore and honestly admitted: "Okay, we just want you to move out of the Lin family and live a more comfortable life."
Doctor Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice softened a bit, "Is your master unhappy?"
"No, Master, you have never been very happy. When you were in the Shen family, you were actually not at ease, and you were even more uncomfortable in the Lin family, so you trapped yourself in this small courtyard." When he said the latter part, Song Ying's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Although the master’s medical skills are so good, when the servants in the Shen Mansion mention her, the first thing they think of is her ups and downs, and they look at her with pity.
The masters of the Shen family showed respect on the surface, calling him Doctor Lin all the time, but in fact, in their hearts, the master was only slightly better than the steward who was in power in their family.
The master is such a proud person. What she wants is to practice medicine in an upright manner and to benefit the world, and what she wants is the sincere respect of her patients.
Therefore, she arranged to enter Huichuntang early to avoid becoming a medical doctor herself.
No matter how skilled a doctor is, she will always be inferior to others when it comes to worshipping others.
In the past, she didn’t quite understand why her master, who was not short of money, had to endure his displeasure and accept the offerings from the Shen family.
Now she understood that since she was not at the Shen family, she had to go back to the Lin family.
She would rather stand tall in the face of pity and contempt from strangers than return to the Lin family and endure the implicit disdain from her closest relatives.
Doctor Lin's eyelashes trembled and his throat felt dry. It turned out that the grievances he had hidden for all these years and the unwillingness he felt in his dreams at midnight were all secretly seen and remembered by others.
She forced a smile and said, "No one can live a life of ease and success. Even princes and princesses have troubles. These little things of yours are nothing."
Song Ying gently held her hand, his eyes blazing like stars: "You taught me medical skills and paved the way for me. Now I have the confidence to stand up straight and live my life as a man.
I, your disciple, also hope that you can be at peace and content. I know you don't want your family to be criticized, but Master, life is only a few decades long, and you must live for yourself.
Not getting married is just your choice, there is nothing wrong with it, and you have not let anyone down."
