Chapter 20 020 Green Vine Burning Incense
The clinic's carriage passed through the city gate without hindrance, traveled along the official road for about twenty miles, then turned and entered the territory of Ziyun Mountain, finally stopping in front of a large mansion at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Pianran stepped off the carriage, and a mountain breeze carrying the scent of herbs suddenly blew towards her, invigorating her. She took the opportunity to look around at the mansion in front of her.
The mansion is named "Qingluo Fenxiang". Its roof is completely shrouded in the lush foliage of the mountain, giving it a secluded and tranquil feel. Perhaps it is too comfortable with this place, because its gate is wide open and unguarded, with no one guarding it, either inside or outside.
"This is my junior sister's villa, Miss Sun, please." Doctor Mo gestured forward and said.
Ye Pianran nodded and followed Doctor Mo toward the open gate. As soon as she stepped inside, she was stunned by what she saw. Several wooden racks stood in the courtyard, each with several bamboo sieves on it, inside which various kinds of herbs were drying. In the center of the courtyard stood a large medicine cauldron, six feet tall, and a blue-clad boy with his hair in a topknot sat in front of the cauldron, watching the fire with a worried expression.
Hearing footsteps behind him, the young man in blue turned around, glanced at Doctor Mo and Ye Pianran, and said, "It's you, Old Man Mo."
"Zhu Wen, is Junior Sister inside?" Doctor Mo asked.
“Yes, it is,” Zhu Wentan glanced at Ye Pianran and Lingyi behind Doctor Mo and sighed, “but if you want to see the doctor for treatment, I advise you to give up.”
Doctor Mo asked, "What's wrong, Junior Sister? Are you in a bad mood again today?"
"That's right, that debt collector is here again, and he's in the house with the master right now. Whenever he comes, the master is bound to be irritable for days, and I'll have to stay here for three days and three nights watching the fire in front of the medicine cauldron!" Zhu Wen said through gritted teeth.
The only one Zhu Wen could call a "debt collector" was probably that one person. After pondering for a moment, Doctor Mo turned to Ye Pianran and said, "Miss Sun, what do you think..."
"Since we've come all this way, how can we turn around and leave before even knowing the result?" Ye Pianran gave Zhu Wen a slight curtsy and said, "I've come today only to see you, sir. Please, young man, introduce me to you."
The person was brought by Doctor Mo, and Zhu Wenben could neither rush him nor make the decision. He could only say, "Alright, I'll go and inform him, but whether the doctor wants to see you is up to fate." After saying that, he turned and ran into the house.
Ye Pianran waited quietly in the courtyard for a while, when she heard a roar from inside the house: "Another one! I won't see him! So what if Mo Youguang brought him! Does he think I'm a Buddha enshrined in a temple, that I can see him just because I give him some incense money! Tell him to take his men back to his Prime Minister's residence and stop bothering me!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Mo looked slightly embarrassed.
A moment later, Zhu Wen ran back and said to Doctor Mo and Ye Pianran with a troubled look, "The doctor said she doesn't want to see guests."
Doctor Mo coughed twice and said to Ye Pianran, "How about... I go and try to persuade them on your behalf?"
Having said that, he strode into the house. A moment later, a furious roar echoed from inside: "Why aren't you staying in your own residence? What are you doing here? Don't you think I'm already causing enough trouble? Get out, get out, and don't let me see you again!"
Something was smashed on the ground, and a moment later Doctor Mo shrank back out of the house and quickly said to Ye Pianran, "I'm afraid it's not going to work today. This tigress is really shrewish. Let's come back another day!"
"Who are you calling a tigress! Mo Youguang, you stop right there!" A green figure suddenly chased out of the house. It was a beautiful woman who looked to be about the same age as Gongsun Yuan. Judging from the way she grabbed Doctor Mo's ear, she must have been very agile.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Junior sister, let go..." Doctor Mo cried out in pain, tears welling in his eyes, and begged for mercy repeatedly.
Liu Lulu glanced at the slender and graceful Ye Pianran, then laughed angrily, "Ha, no wonder people say I'm a tigress, turns out there's a beautiful girl here!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Pianran quickly bowed to Liu Luluo and said, "This humble woman, Ye Pianran, greets Mr. Luluo."
"Hmph." Liu Lulu snorted coldly, finally releasing Doctor Mo's ear, and looked Ye Pianran up and down, saying, "You're not in pain or sick, so what exactly do you want to do here at my medicine hut?"
Unexpectedly, she could tell at a glance that there was no injury on her face. Ye Pianran bowed deeply to Liu Luluo and said, "I have heard that you have superb medical skills, and I admire you very much. I want to become a doctor like you. Please accept me as your apprentice!"
