Linglan felt that her daughter needed to see a doctor again.

I have been restless and sighing all day long, especially after I heard that someone in the court was trying to trick the eldest young master, saying that his position in Dali Temple had a shady background and was evidence that his uncle formed a clique for personal gain.

She inquired with Gu Fei privately, and Gu Fei said that it was just civil servants criticizing each other. There was no actual evidence, and it had no influence on Yu Wenlan.

"Girl, are you having nightmares again recently?" Linglan asked worriedly, "How about asking the doctor to come over and take a look?"

Dream?

Wen Ning's eyes brightened, then dimmed quickly.

No.

The last time she used her dream to fool Wen Lan and Wen Qi, Wen Lan didn't ask any more questions, but Wen Qi looked unbelieving, but he just didn't force her to tell the truth.

Even Wen Qi could see the flaw, how could he hide it from Pei You?

It would be bad if he treated himself as a heretic then.

Naturally, Pei You noticed Wen Ning's many anomalies, and at the end of the day, he had two more bags of cakes on hand.

Wen Ning felt that Pei You was really lovable recently. Seeing that she liked her, he even brought some snacks back from time to time. But the more lovable he was, the more eager she was to think of a perfect idea, and the cakes he brought back were actually...

Not as fragrant anymore.

"Is the medicine shop not going well?" Pei You looked at her and put the peanut cakes she took out back into the snack bag without interest.

Wen Ning shook her head. The medicine shop was very good. The plaque was ready and the medicinal herbs had arrived in Beijing. We were just waiting for a good and auspicious day to open the shop.

"Is there something wrong with the wine shop?" Pei You asked again.

Wen Ning continued to shake her head.

The whole capital knows that behind her wine shop is the Duke's Mansion, who dares to cause trouble for her?

Pei You looked at her lightly with his dark eyes.

Just looking at her "lightly", Wen Ning felt a thorn in her back, as if he was about to see through her. She pretended to take a sip of tea and changed the subject: "By the way, the Lantern Festival is coming soon, and the Earth Dragon in the study hasn't found anyone yet.

Repair?"

Pei You was sitting at the desk with a book in his hand. When he heard this, he put the book down and leaned back on the chair: "What? I'm disturbing you here?"

Wen Ning blinked. She just didn't want to dig up the Qinghui Hall during the Lantern Festival.

However, her words did sound like she disliked him, so she smiled flatteringly: "No, I have cakes to eat every day, I'm happy!"

but……

She doesn't mind him being in the way, and he doesn't mind her being in the way either?

To be honest, he has been very different lately.

Wen Ning also looked at Pei You with her clear eyes, and saw that he was holding a book in front of the desk, his face was expressionless, and he looked like an upright, elegant, handsome gentleman, without any charm.

That's all, you can't just think that someone is abnormal because he looks a little bit like a normal person.

Wen Ning stood up and decided to do some embroidery work first to calm down and think about it. Maybe a good idea would come to her when an idea strikes her.

-

Wen Ning had planned to find He Luan before, but she was a model sister-in-law who was thoroughly domesticated by her parents who followed the ethics. I heard that last year she went to Ci'en Temple to pray for her deceased mother, and I thought she had married out of the family this year.

, then she, the sister-in-law, should do this.

Therefore, just after the third day of the Lunar New Year, I left the capital and went to Ci'en Temple.

Today is the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and He Luan was supposed to be back yesterday. Wen Ning changed her clothes after breakfast and planned to meet He Luan.

As early as the day Wen Ning returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, Wen Lan had told He Luan that she knew Wen Ning would come to see her. But when she suddenly appeared in the east chamber, she was so surprised that she was stunned for a long time.

.

"Sister, you..." It took He Luan a long time to find his voice, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Wen Ning specially changed into men's clothes and didn't even send a greeting card. She didn't even come in through the main door.

"It's more convenient this way." Wen Ning naturally tilted her head.

But this "routine operation" in Wen Ning's opinion obviously exceeded He Luan's understanding. He opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to talk to you about the drug store today. Come on, let's talk in the room."

After He Luan married in, Wen Lan's previously shelved medical books and tools for drying herbal medicine were all taken out.

Just now, He Luan was making medicine in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, sister Rushuang told me that you are quite hesitant about going to the medicine shop for a consultation, right?" Wen Ning asked as she sat down in the room.

He Luan's face was pretty and fair. He lowered his eyes after hearing the words and spoke slowly.

The matter was similar to what Wen Ning expected. He Luan was worried about sitting in the medicine shop and coming into contact with too many men. Even if Wen Lan was not angry, she felt a little uncomfortable: "It is not appropriate to spread the reputation of the Wen family, and... my husband doesn't care about this.

If dad knew about it, he would be displeased."

Wen Ning sighed: "Sister-in-law, if a man falls to the ground in the street, you need to take off his clothes and treat him in full public view. Otherwise, he will die. Will you save him?"

He Luan frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "Doctors have benevolence. In critical moments, men and women's defense is only an external thing, and of course it is not as important as saving people's lives."

"Yes!" Wen Ning said, "Look, you understand, don't you? The world's opinion is not as important as saving people's lives? As long as you want to cure diseases and save people, the things you worry about are actually external objects, and there is a way

It’s understandable.”

Wen Ning took He Luan to Xiangti Garden and showed her the men's clothes she used to wear before she came out of the cabinet: "When you wear men's clothes and add a hat, who will recognize you as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family?"

Then he took her to the back door: "Guess how I got in just now? The boy at the back door lets me out all day long and is openly threatened by me. But without daddy's acquiescence, how dare he do it?"

"Sister-in-law, my father has been an official in the court and has read the books of sages for decades. He does value etiquette and respect, but he also knows the many constraints that this world has on women. As the head of the family, he cannot openly instigate us and others.

This world is full of confrontation, but it considerately left this small door for us. Sister-in-law, since you married into the Wen family, your father also regards you as his own son, and you want to do good things like curing diseases and saving people, how can he do it?

stop?"

These words made Wen Ning miss Wen Tingchun very much.

Hitting is fake, scolding is fake, only love is true.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay if you still can't get over the hurdle in your heart." Wen Ning finally held He Luan's hand and said, "I just feel it's a pity. My sister-in-law has studied medicine for more than ten years, and now she has the opportunity to fulfill her long-cherished wish. Why?

Why don’t you give it a try?”

"People only live this life. If they can't live according to their own wishes, realize their ambitions and pursue their ideals, but instead bury this life in this backyard, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Wen Ning advised sincerely.

She hopes that everyone can achieve perfection in this life and live freely according to their heart's wishes.

As far as she was concerned, the words had come to this point, and if He Luan still chose to stay where he was, she would have nothing to regret.

Everyone has different ideas and has the right to choose the life they want.

He Luan's eyes flashed with tiny lights.

All her sharp tongue, ingenuity and whimsy are used in medicine. If someone comes to argue with her about prescriptions and medical theory, she will definitely have a calm face and an eloquent tongue.

But speaking of other reasons, she was trapped by the advice she had received since childhood, and this was the first time she heard Wen Ning's bold suggestions and ideas.

Could she also be like Wen Ning, disguised as a man and go out to see a doctor? But her father said that men and women are different, and as a woman, she should not take a man's pulse.

Can she also be pampered by the Wen family like Wen Ning? But A Niang said that as a woman, she should serve her parents-in-law and raise children. She was obsessed with curing diseases and saving people, and it was no longer the first priority.

But does she want to?

If you have ambitions, pursue them; if you have ideals, pursue them. That's what she wants.

"Sister..." He Luan choked up for a moment, "Please let me think about it carefully for a few days, and I will give you an answer after the Lantern Festival."

Wen Ning nodded solemnly, and before leaving, she patted the boy guarding the back door: "Here, if my sister-in-law wants to go out in the future, do you know what to do?"

The young man was afraid of Wen Ning before, but he felt that after becoming the Crown Prince's wife, she was even more difficult to mess with than before, so he immediately smiled and said, "I know, I know!"

Wen Ning turned around and blinked at He Luan before going out through the back door again.

Duan Rushuang has been waiting for her outside the back door. Now that she has left Duan's mansion, she is no longer constrained by the rules of the mansion and can go out whenever she wants. She is very free.

Today she came with Wen Ning, but she was worried that He Luan would feel uncomfortable with her as an outsider, so she just waited outside the door.

"How?" Duan Rushuang couldn't wait to ask as soon as Wen Ning came out.

Wen Ning thought for a while: "I don't know, but... don't rush to find a doctor for now."

Anyway, not every drug store has a doctor. In the final analysis, that drug store is just a cover for her hoarding of stone medicine, and she has no intention of it really becoming famous.

Duan Rushuang nodded: "It won't be too late until the drug store gets on the right track."

The two of them made a plan, going to see He Luan in the morning, and in the afternoon they would go to the drug store to take stock of the items themselves, and then discuss a good day to open the store together.

Wen Ning felt that it was extremely comfortable like this. There were people to do everything with, and there were people to discuss and discuss things together. It was no longer like before, as if she was sailing alone, not knowing where to go.

"Sister Rushuang, I will take you to a noodle restaurant. The taste is very good, no worse than any restaurant!"

Wen Ning happily led the way.

Both of them are wearing men's clothing. They are two thin, fair-looking young men wearing ordinary clothes. They are not very conspicuous on the streets of Chang'an Street.
