Chapter 2 Yao Shouning
Yao Shouning's father was in charge of public security in the north city. Although he was only a sixth-rank official in the divine capital, he was a very formidable presence among the streets in the north of the city.
Before Mr. Liu's trip, the policemen from Beicheng's Military and Horse Division had already come over to say hello. The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect him. The moment he heard the waiter's greeting, the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter also bowed out and greeted Mr. Liu with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Liu, who got off the car, was treated as an honored guest and welcomed into the tea house.
The storyteller, who was frothing at the mouth earlier, put a folding fan in his hand and stuck it on his back. He took the opportunity to pick up the teacup and poured it into his throat several times, taking the opportunity to catch his breath.
The teahouse that had finally become lively became quiet for a while due to the arrival of Mr. Liu and his party.
Although everyone did not know Liu's identity, they could tell from the attitude of the store owner and the momentum of Liu's group that she was not someone to be trifled with.
So even if the storyteller shut up, others did not dare to urge him, and the bustling teahouse was quiet for a while.
Yao Shouning counted several times silently in his mind, and then heard a series of footsteps ringing between the pavilions, and then the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.
The shopkeeper with a smile on his face turned sideways and saw Ms. Liu leading two women and helping a pale girl walk in.
She is thirty-eight years old. She is quite tall and plump, with a somewhat stern expression. She does not speak or smile, but her aura rushes towards her face, so that Dong Kui, who is standing next to Yao Shouning, does not dare to breathe.
The shopkeeper winked at the people beside him, asking them to quickly prepare more tea. After Mrs. Liu entered the room, she thoughtfully closed the door to block out the prying eyes and cold wind from outside.
"Mother." When Yao Shouning saw that his mother's expression was wrong, he couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you back so soon?"
She inherited Liu's tall figure and was slightly taller than Liu when she stood up.
While speaking, her eyes fell on the girl who was being held by two women:
"Did the doctor's visit not go well?"
As she spoke, she also went to help the girl.
The girl was seen wrapped in a thick cloak, revealing only a small face like a palm.
At this time, her face was pale and her lips were blue, as if the few steps up the stairs had left her gasping for breath.
Yao Shouning's hand held the girl's palm, and she was trembling with cold.
It was already very cold in the city of God at the end of October, but Yao Wanning was born with a deficiency and her body was extremely cold all year round. This time she went out, she was even shivering from the cold, and her teeth were chattering.
Clicking sound.
"Shou Ning."
The girl took a few breaths, and the moment she held hands with her, her frown slightly relaxed, and she subconsciously grasped her sister's soft and delicate palm tightly.
She is Yao Shouning's sister. She is eighteen years old. She suffers from diseases brought from her mother's womb. She was born with heart palpitations and was weak. She has a cold body and suffers from major and minor illnesses all year round. This makes Ms. Liu heartbroken.
"Don't mention it." Ms. Liu frowned.
Her personal nanny, Ms. Cao, had already very considerately taken off her soaked cloak and hung it to one side.
There is a carbon basin on the table in the elegant room, which is emitting a steady stream of heat.
There is an iron stand on the basin and a teapot filled with hot water.
Ms. Liu stretched out her hands, which were already stiff from the cold, and placed them on the heat source. Her cold and stern expression relaxed a little unconsciously:
"I feel that this so-called miracle doctor is very different from the rumors, and some of his names are not true."
She is not particularly beautiful in appearance, especially with the dazzling daughter beside her. Her facial features are even more mediocre in comparison, but her overall majesty makes people absolutely unable to ignore her.
Liu has one son and two daughters. The eldest son, Yao Ruoyun, is already nineteen years old. He is currently studying hard at Zhushan Academy, hoping to take the scientific examination next year and win fame in one fell swoop.
The second daughter, Wan Ning, is eighteen years old. She has a gentle and reserved temperament. Her appearance is similar to Mrs. Liu's. In addition, she is in poor health, so Mrs. Liu is most concerned about this daughter.
After years of searching for doctors and medicines for her, it was not easy to bring this daughter to the age of eighteen like a jewel.
Half a year ago, Mrs. Liu found out that a doctor in the south of the Yangtze River who was known as the eleventh generation grandson of the King of Medicine was going to enter the capital of gods.
This King of Medicine was a legendary figure from the Daqing Dynasty who was born more than two hundred years ago. It is said that his medical skills were so superb that he was known as the living dead with flesh and bones. He was once invited into the palace by the Daqing royal family to diagnose and treat noble people.
It is said that this man inherited most of the medicine king's skills and was very famous in the Jiangnan area, with people coming and going constantly for medical treatment.
Since then, Mrs. Liu had been looking forward to it day and night, and after finding out the time when the Divine Doctor Sun entered the capital, she prepared a generous gift early and wanted to take Yao Wanning with her to visit him.
She placed her hope in the hands of this miracle doctor, hoping that he could take care of Yao Wanning's body and make her healthier.
Ever since Yao Hui got the news last night that Dr. Sun had entered the capital of the gods, Mrs. Liu was so excited that she almost didn't sleep all night. She had already gotten up and prepared before dawn.
Before setting off, I didn't expect that my youngest daughter Yao Shouning seemed to have received the news a long time ago and begged Ms. Liu to go with her.
This little daughter was the last born to the Liu family. She had a weird and clever personality and was very annoying.
She was born at the end of December, two months shy of turning sixteen.
Compared with Yao Wanning, who was frail and sick but had a docile personality, Yao Shouning was almost like another extreme alien.
Before she was born, none of the four members of the Yao family looked outstanding.
Yao Hui was a martial artist and could not be called handsome, while Liu was just ordinary in appearance and had a son and a daughter who could only be called gentle and delicate.
But this little daughter has been extraordinarily beautiful since she was born.
The older you get, the more outstanding your appearance becomes.
She has been in good health since she was a child. Even though she was born in the coldest month of winter, she has never had a headache, brain fever or discomfort. She has a strange personality and is not as docile as Yao Wanning, which has always given Liu a headache.
The folk customs of the Daqing Dynasty were not considered conservative, and women did not need to be kept in boudoir.
However, Mrs. Liu was afraid that her appearance would bring disaster, so she was extremely strict with her and would not allow her to go out to play.
Unexpectedly, she was pestered by her in the morning. Mrs. Liu was eager to take Yao Wanning out and had no time to talk to her. Thinking that she had been obedient recently, she nodded in agreement.
After coming out, she obediently offered to wait for her at the Wangjiao Tea House first, without making any fuss about following her to Doctor Sun's place.
I thought that this trip would be delayed for a long time, but I didn't expect that in only half an hour, Liu and his party were gone and back again.
When mentioning the rumored Miracle Doctor Sun, no matter how well-educated Ms. Liu was, she couldn't help showing a bit of displeasure:
"We entered the hospital and were given a generous gift. He took Wan Ning's pulse and talked for a long time, but he couldn't give a specific reason. In the end, he just said that he was born with a cold body and had a lot of prescriptions.
Medicine, sent us back."
