After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 157 Admiration

"The pulse is floating, large and soft, and hollow when pressed, like pressing a scallion tube. Have you been injured recently?"

Lin Shuning felt his pulse through the handkerchief with his fingertips. He was so busy that he didn't even bother to raise his head. He started writing a prescription: "Take this prescription and go to the front counter to get the medicine. Eat more red dates and drink some chicken and bone soup to nourish your body."

As she spoke, she looked up. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she said with some surprise, "Master Gu, why are you here?"

As she said this, she recalled what happened a few days ago, and said with an apologetic smile: "Too many people came to see me today, I was so busy that I was confused."

Perhaps because there were so many people in the clinic, even though there was no brazier lit and only the incense burner was used, the temperature was still very high.

Lin Shuning's cheeks were rosy, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his smooth jade forehead. Although there was a hint of fatigue between his brows, his eyes were still bright and shining in the sunlight, like a galaxy flying into his eyes.

Gu Wen's ears were red as blood, and he dared not look her in the eye again. He smiled and said, "It's okay... I, I'll go get the medicine first."

"Go ahead," Lin Shuning smiled slightly, looking past him at the people behind him, "Come forward, I'll check you."

Gu Wen walked to the side, looking back every few steps at the pretty figure.

If someone noticed him at this moment, they would see the gentle man who was regarded as handsome and upright by the world, looking back with the prescription in his hand.

Those eyes that used to be as calm as the night were now sparkling with stars as bright as the aurora. The admiration that was so undisguised was as lingering as wine, and just one glance was enough to make people intoxicated.

He touched his heart and smiled softly as his heart beat like a galloping horse and his emotions surged.

This is what it means to be heart-throb.

The aspirations of Confucianism are to be like sages.

However, he now knows that she is his "Jiang Jia", his "Guanju", his "Xianghe Ge", his "Si Wuxie", and she is his lifelong pursuit in the world of the mortals.

He took a deep breath, walked quickly to the counter to get a prescription, and just as he was about to step out, he stopped.

He turned his head and asked, "Are you still hiring? Can I work here, just like Miss Lin?"

Liuzi was stunned, with a complicated expression.

How should he tell the person in front of him that the Miss Lin he was talking about was not just a worker, but the real owner of the place.

"No way?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Wen's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Liuzi waved his hands quickly: "We are indeed short of manpower here, but it is not up to me to decide. We need to ask Uncle Zhang first. Hey! Here he comes! Uncle Zhang, Lord Gu wants to work here."

As soon as Lin Shuning arrived, most of the patients who came for medical treatment lined up in her group.

After all, she was famous for saving the emperor, so it was normal for patients to seek her treatment.

Zhang Bo did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied, but instead admired Lin Shuning even more.

She saw patients for most of the day without a break, yet she never complained about the pain or tiredness. She was so tenacious that even he felt ashamed of himself.

After he finished seeing his old customers, he was about to help out at the counter. As soon as he approached, he heard Liuzi's voice.

He walked over quickly and saluted Gu Wen: "Master Gu, why did you think of working in our clinic?"

Gu Wen pursed his lips, glanced towards the consultation area, and said calmly: "Do something good for the people and supplement the family income at the same time."

Although he only took a quick glance, Zhang Bo still caught the clue.

This Gu Wen is the youngest Grand Justice.

Although he has a mother who needs to take medicine all year round, he can still afford it with his salary, but their life will be a little tighter.

What's more, with his talent, if he really wanted to make money, there were plenty of quick ways waiting for him. He didn't need to waste his free time hanging out with a bunch of servants in the clinic dealing with medicinal materials.

Therefore, his purpose is definitely not as simple as supplementing the family income.

Zhang Bo glanced at Lin Shuning who was busy with the consultation, and smiled meaningfully at Gu Wen: "It's a good thing that Lord Gu is willing to work in our clinic. I'd love to have you. But the remuneration needs to be agreed in advance. It's the same as the servants, five taels of silver a day. The main job content is to move and organize the medicinal materials. I wonder if Lord Gu has any objection?"

"No, I'm on break today, so let's start from now." Gu Wen didn't care about the remuneration at all. He just wanted to stay here so that he could see Lin Shuning more often, interact with her more often, understand her better, and get closer to her.

"Okay, Liuzi, take Lord Gu and start working." Uncle Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

It is a good thing for the clinic that Gu Wen is willing to work here.

Firstly, there is no need to worry that he was sent by his peers to discredit the clinic; secondly, he can use his identity as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to intimidate those villains with ulterior motives; thirdly, it can prove that the medicinal materials selected by the clinic are all top-grade.

What's more, he felt that Gu Wen was indeed a good person and a good match.

If he could really win the heart of Shopkeeper Lin, he might even be able to facilitate a happy marriage.

Lin Shuning had been seeing patients and had no time to take care of other things. She didn't notice Gu Wen's presence for the entire afternoon.

It was not until it was getting dark that she finished writing the last prescription and finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she stretched her body, she glanced and vaguely saw Gu Wen and Liuzi pounding medicine together.

She frowned and turned around in surprise: "Master Gu, why are you here?"

"I just told the shopkeeper that I'm working here. I don't have anything to do anyway. I'm just sitting around doing nothing." Gu Wen's tone was a little stiff, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye in panic.

Lin Shuning nodded thoughtfully, thinking of what Lian'er had told her before, that Gu Wen's mother needed to take medicine all year round, so he had always been very frugal. Now, taking advantage of his free time, he came to the clinic to work to supplement the family income, which was normal. So she didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. This time, you and I are going to work in the clinic together."

Gu Wen smiled faintly and lowered his eyelashes. He seemed to be concentrating on fiddling with the herbs in his hands, but in fact his heart had been beating like a drum.

He even had the absurd thought that one day his heart would explode with excitement.

But even so, he was happy with it.

"Miss Lin, come and have some food. This is what we just bought from the restaurant. It must suit your taste." Uncle Zhang walked in from outside, put the food box on the table, and took out a few dishes and bowls of rice. "Lord Gu, would you like to have some too?"

"No need. I'm not hungry yet. Let me finish the work at hand first." Gu Wen shook his head and refused.

"You're not hungry, but I am," Lin Shuning sat in front of him, rubbing his stomach, drooling at the table full of food, and said unceremoniously, "Then I'll eat first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

She was really hungry. She had been seeing patients since she came to the clinic at noon, and hadn't even had a sip of water during this time. Such work intensity was too much of a drain on her physical strength.

Gu Wen quietly watched her eating hard, a smile on his lips seemed to be about to bloom. If he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, I'm afraid someone would have found out the clues long ago.

How can someone be so cute even when eating?

At this moment, Liuzi was called by Uncle Zhang to the inner room to count the bills. Lian'er and other servants were busy sorting the medicinal materials in the back. Only Gu Wen and Lin Shuning were left outside.

A ray of rosy clouds rose up, illuminating a handsome and majestic dark figure standing quietly under an old tree outside the clinic.
