There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 370 Damaged Heart Meridian

In the afternoon, Li Shuchen draped his fox fur cloak over Ye Bingli's shoulders.

They placed a charcoal brazier in the carriage to keep Ye Bingli warm before taking her to Qingde Medical Clinic.

"Dr. Sun, Dr. Sun"

"Oh dear, Miss Li, please keep your voice down. You're hurting my ears. You look rosy-cheeked and full of energy; you don't seem sick at all. What brings you here?"

Dr. Sun came out from the inner room and sat upright at the wooden table.

Li Shuchen pulled Ye Bingli down to sit, and said with a grin, "I'm fine. It's just that my friend here is a bit cold-sensitive; her hands are terribly cold. I'd appreciate it if you could take a good look at her and hopefully help her get to my condition."

Dr. Sun glanced at Li Shuchen and laughed, "You silly girl, do you think everyone is as lively, energetic, and strong as an ox as you?"

He then placed his hand on Ye Bingli's wrist.

A moment later, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became increasingly serious.

Li Shuchen looked extremely flustered and asked urgently.

"What's wrong? Why does Doctor Sun look so pale?"

Dr. Sun stopped what he was doing, said nothing, and began writing the prescription.

After writing the prescription, I handed it to Li Shuchen.

"Get the medicine for her according to the prescription."

Then he said to Ye Bingli, "Miss, please take care to keep warm, especially your limbs, chest, and back. Avoid strenuous exercise, and don't let your emotions fluctuate too much. Eat a light diet and get plenty of rest."

Ye Bingli said calmly, "Thank you, doctor. I'll remember that."

Her calm demeanor suggested that she knew what illness she had.

Li Shuchen was the only one unaware of the situation, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

"What kind of riddles are you two playing? Dr. Sun, what's wrong with Bingli? Just tell me, I have money for treatment, I can definitely cure her."

Dr. Sun waved his hand: "It's not about money."

"How is it unrelated to money?"

"She was extremely heartbroken, which damaged her heart meridians; only she can save herself."

Li Shuchen was stunned upon hearing this. Extremely heartbroken? His heart meridian was damaged?

It must be because of Young Master Song. She acts as if nothing happened, and everyone thinks she's moved on.

As a result, she secretly suffered such great harm. It's her fault, it's all her fault for not discovering it sooner.

When he spoke again, his voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Therefore, her hands and feet are cold because her heart meridian is damaged."

"Yes, damage to the heart vessels and insufficient heart yang weaken the heart's pumping ability, resulting in insufficient blood-propelling power and preventing blood from flowing smoothly to the extremities, thus causing the symptoms of 'cold'."

"Understood, thank you, Dr. Sun."

Li Shuchen helped Ye Bingli home, prepared her medicine, and fed her the medicine.

He secretly vowed to take better care of Ye Bingli in the future.

Second day

Li Shuchen warmed the carriage and picked up Ye Bingli to take her to Hundred Flowers Manor.

As soon as I stepped off the carriage, I was enveloped in a rich, fragrant aroma.

"It smells so good! I wish Hundred Flowers Manor had flowers blooming all year round."

Li Shuchen spread his arms and took a deep breath.

Ye Bingli took Li Shuchen's hand and walked inside, saying, "Perhaps Shuchen will find a flower that blooms all year round someday."

"Hey," Li Shuchen tilted his head, "Bingli trusts me that much?"

"Yes, Shu Chen can do anything."

"Alright, to live up to Bingli's trust, I'll keep a close eye out for this kind of flower in the future. If I find it, I'll leave it for you to sell in your flower shop, so you can earn money every day."

Ye Bingli turned around and smiled, "It's a deal."

"A word is settled"

"Miss Li and Miss Ye are here. You must be here to collect the flowers. I've taken care of them every day, and they're growing very well. Now that it's time to pick them, I'm a little reluctant."

Grandpa Lin wiped his eyes as he spoke.

Li Shuchen understood. It's like having something you've cared for for a long time suddenly leaving you; there's always a sense of emptiness. So he offered words of comfort.

"Uncle Lin, these are just different ways of being with people. Besides, I will continue to grow flowers. You'll still need to take care of them every day. New seeds, new hope, new expectations—Uncle Lin won't be lonely."

Grandpa Lin burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Miss Li is right. People should always look forward and not dwell on the past."

Ye Bingli: "Grandpa Lin looks much better now than before."

"That's right. I've been eating and drinking well at Hundred Flowers Manor, and I don't have any worries. I've even gained more than ten pounds, and my arms and legs don't hurt anymore."

As he spoke, Grandpa Lin stretched his arms and kicked his legs.

After finishing, he said excitedly, "This time I cultivated more than twenty pots of purple-gold roses. Miss Li, are you planning to hold a banquet and auction them off?"

Li Shuchen shook his head: "Let's not hold it anymore. One novel banquet is enough. Holding another one won't be as effective as the first one."

"Alright, Miss Li, feel free to look around. I'll go tell Old Yuan to prepare lunch for you."

After saying that, Grandpa Lin left.

Li Shuchen said, "Bingli, which flowers do you want to keep to sell? I'll have Brother Zhao and the others pick the rest to make floral essential oils."

"Okay, I'll let Brother Zhao know when I've made my choice."

I stayed at the flower farm for five days in a row.

A total of 120 bottles of floral essential oil were produced.

Fifty bottles of 5ml sample floral essential oils

Forty bottles of 30ml sample floral essential oil

Thirty bottles of 100ml full-size floral essential oils

I don't know if it's because of the cold weather and increased moisture retention, but the amount of essential oil released this time is surprisingly large.

Li Shuchen was so happy that she ate more.

"Uncle Yuan's cooking skills are getting better and better. I've already eaten three bowls of these dumplings, and I want more!"

"Eat up, there's plenty in the pot."

Uncle Yuan chuckled and served Li Shuchen another bowl.

Li Shuchen sat down at the kitchen doorway with a steaming bowl of dumplings in her hand.

He addressed the line of people squatting by the door, saying, "After dinner, cover the remaining flowers with a tarpaulin."

Zhao Tianchuan: "Miss Li, are you worried that the snow will damage the flowers?"

"Yes, if they're crushed, they can't be sold."

She's already applied antifreeze, so she's not worried about it freezing; she's just afraid it will collapse under the weight.

Zhao Tianchuan: "Don't worry, Miss Li, the brothers will cover all the flowers carefully and make sure not a single one is missed."

Li Shuchen nodded, then shoveled a dumpling into his mouth. It was warm, not hot at all. No wonder everyone was squatting by the door eating; the dumplings cooled down really quickly.

After finishing his meal, Li Shuchen sat on the swing chair to aid digestion.

There was nothing she could do; she ate an extra bowl of rice than usual and was so full she could barely walk.

"Shu Chen's belly is all bulging from eating, so round and cute," Ye Bingli said, sitting on the swing and reaching out to touch Li Shu Chen's belly.

"That's strange. Your stomach was flat before you ate, how come it's round in just a little while? What's inside it?"

"You filled four bowls with dumplings, isn't that impressive?"

"Four bowls of dumplings?" Ye Bingli was a little stunned, then murmured, "Luckily I have money, enough to support Shu Chen."

"Hehe, if you're prone to feeling cold, why aren't you indoors warming yourself by the charcoal brazier? Why are you out here?"

"Let the flowers roast over the charcoal brazier. I came out for some fresh air. The purple-gold roses are growing exceptionally well. Shu Chen, would you like to move a pot of them to the Three Treasures Hall?"

"There's no need for a three-potted pavilion. We can put one on the inn's cashier counter to attract some customers and earn some extra money for the New Year. The rest can be sold at the flower shop."

"I can't believe it's almost Chinese New Year," Ye Bingli thought, looking up at the sky.

Li Shuchen grasped Ye Bingli's hand

"How was your Chinese New Year this year? I made dumplings, stir-fried spicy chicken, stewed fish, boiled beef, and steamed egg custard for you. I also set off firecrackers and fireworks, and told you all sorts of tall tales."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bingli turned to look at Li Shuchen with a bright smile.

"Okay, does Shu Chen know how to cut paper snowflakes?"

"Cut paper flowers? I don't know how to do that. Does Bingli know how?"

"meeting"

"Then Bingli will be in charge of decorating the paper-cut windows in my house."

"it is good"
