Chapter 594: Doctor Niu Sells His House
"It's okay. It's not something precious. It's just two bottles of pills to strengthen the body. Please don't despise it, my lady."
Niu Yongnian stubbornly stuffed it into the two children.
"Thank you, Uncle Niu."
The two children immediately expressed their gratitude, accepted it happily, and put it in their arms like a treasure.
Niu Yongnian also laughed happily.
"These two children are really good. The pill is just right for children of this age. But don't take too many. Take one pill a day. After taking it for five days, you have to stop for three days. Remember this."
Shen Yunyi was already very excited when he heard that it was a pill for strengthening the body. After hearing what he said, he immediately asked:
"Uncle Niu, after taking this pill, will my martial arts skills become even better?"
Niu Yongnian was delighted when he heard this and said with a smile:
"It will make you sick less often and strengthen your physique. It will definitely be of some help. But you still have to rely on yourself to practice martial arts."
Shen Yunyi nodded, he understood.
After thanking him, he took his sister out to play.
After listening to what Doctor Niu said, Su Wanwan thought that the pill was roughly equivalent to the immunity-enhancing medicine in later generations. She never dared to look down on any Chinese medicine doctor, so she naturally let the children take it.
"Thank you, Dr. Niu."
Shen Yuan thanked him.
Lin Wenyue was already very excited. Looking at Yun Yi and Yue'er, she also wanted to get a bottle to study.
"Doctor Niu is so amazing. I, Lin Wenyue, admire Doctor Niu very much and I also like his medical skills. This time I came here to ask Doctor Niu to be my teacher!"
Lin Wenyue directly stated the purpose of her visit.
Niu Yongnian was also shocked when he heard this.
A girl studied medicine and came to him for help.
In fact, not many people knew that he was a doctor. He was rescued from the mountains and received his reward from the county government. His distant relatives knew that he was a doctor, but no one thought about how good his medical skills were.
Although he thought his medical skills were not bad.
The girl was able to find him, probably because she knew about the antidote for the mad beast and thought he was a great medical skill, so she came here specially.
After looking at the county horse and seeing a yamen runner outside, he knew that this girl must be of very high status, otherwise she would not know the inside story.
"Miss Lin, you are too kind to me. I am just an unknown traveling doctor. Besides, I don't live in Beichang Prefecture. I plan to leave."
Niu Yongnian was flattered, but it was not that he was unwilling to accept a disciple. The fact was that although his ancestral home was here, he left home at a young age and settled in Liaodong County a long time ago.
When Lin Wenyue heard this, she thought of what Lord Xu said, that he came back to worship his ancestors and he definitely did not live in Beichang Prefecture.
"Doctor Niu, you have to leave."
Lin Wenyue was a little disappointed. She looked at the bag beside him and it seemed that he had been ready to leave for a long time.
"Yes, my home is in Liaodong County, where I have a wife and children. I had a very narrow escape this time, and I almost died in the mine. Fortunately, the county horse rescued me, otherwise I would have died in the mine. I have been out for a long time, and I am afraid that my wife and children will worry about me. If it weren't for this house that needed to be dealt with, I would have left long ago."
Niu Yongnian confessed everything without hiding anything.
"Ah? Are you still planning to deal with this house?"
Lin Wenyue said in surprise, after dealing with the house, it seems that Doctor Niu will not come to Beichang Prefecture again.
"Well, there is no use for me to keep this house. I asked the county government and they said it was not a reward from His Majesty and could be sold. I have been selling this house these past two days."
When Su Wanwan heard about selling the house, she looked at the small yard and asked casually:
"Is it sold?"
Seeing that he has packed his bags, I guess he has sold them.
Doctor Niu nodded:
"We agreed yesterday that we would come and collect the house today."
Lin Wenyue sighed, but there was nothing she could do. The other person wanted to go back, and she couldn't force him to accept her as his disciple.
"This Lord Xu is too unreliable. He knew that Doctor Niu did not live in Tongxu County, but he still insisted on rewarding him with a house. He could just give him silver directly."
Lin Wenyue made a joke to drive away the slight disappointment in her heart.
"Isn't the county government now more prosperous? Why can't it change this bad habit?"
Thinking of Xu Huaiyuan, Lin Wenyue recalled the land and silver he had rewarded to Su Wanwan, and the IOU he had written for it.
Su Wanwan burst out laughing:
"Tongxu County is building roads and water conservancy projects in Daxing. Even if there is tax money, it has been invested. It is good to be able to give a house. What's more, this should have been given by the court. I believe that the capital will soon send money to make up for it."
Niu Yongnian heard this and immediately nodded in agreement:
"Yes, it was me who told Master Xu that I wanted to leave as soon as possible, so Master Xu gave me the house first. I just happened to have nowhere to live these days, so he also gave me some silver."
Lin Wenyue didn't say anything after hearing this. All these people were considering the court and Lord Xu.
"That's fine. If that's the case, I won't force you. It's just a little regrettable."
Lin Wenyue has completely given up the idea of becoming a disciple.
"Ms. Lin, I do have someone I can recommend. She is my senior sister, who lives in seclusion in Fengning County. Her medical skills are better than mine, but she suffered a broken heart in her early years and has now gone into seclusion in the mountains."
Niu Yongnian thought of his senior sister and immediately recommended her.
They are all women, and Miss Lin seems to be lively, so she might be able to help Senior Sister get out of this situation.
Sure enough, when Lin Wenyue heard it, she was immediately attracted.
Fengning County also belongs to Beichang Prefecture, and the doctor is a female doctor. Doctor Niu’s medical skills are already very high, but she actually said that her medical skills are better than his, so she must be good.
"Thank you, Doctor Niu. I am willing to do so."
Lin Wenyue nodded immediately.
A trace of worry flashed across Doctor Niu's eyes:
"I'm afraid she won't agree. I'll write a letter. Whether it works or not depends on whether you two have a destiny as a master and a disciple."
After saying that, Niu Yongnian went to find pen and ink, sat down at the desk, wrote a letter, sealed it, and handed it to Lin Wenyue.
Lin Wenyue was grateful, took it respectfully and put it away carefully.
"Doctor Niu, are you planning to leave today?"
Shen Yuan looked at the house and asked casually.
Niu Yongnian has already gone to the kitchen to pour some water, and the water has already boiled.
"The buyer agreed to come and hand over the house today and leave tomorrow, but he hasn't come yet."
He looked worried and glanced at the sky.
Hearing this, Lin Wenyue also frowned:
"If you don't show up at the agreed time, I'm afraid you don't want to buy it anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man who looked like a servant came out and shouted:
"Master Niu, Master Niu, are you home?"
Niu Yongnian walked over immediately.
"Master Niu, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid that family can't come today. They have their eyes on another house. I'm so sorry. Don't worry, I will find another buyer for this house as soon as possible..."
When Su Wanwan heard this, she immediately realized that this boy was probably similar to the real estate agent in later generations.
"He broke his promise. He agreed to do something, but he didn't want to buy it. Isn't that a waste of time?"
When Lin Wenyue heard this, she was also furious.
