"Dad was worried about your boy's betrothal gift before, but now it seems that I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Before Cheng Chubi could speak, Cheng Yaojin waved his big hand and motioned for Cheng Chubi to sit down.
With a flick of his finger from the side, a servant quickly brought a pot of wine and placed two glasses on it.
Cheng Chubi quickly picked up the pot and poured it out. The familiar smell was there. What else could it be if it wasn't Cheng's secret Sanle pulp?
Cheng Yaojin sucked it off in one gulp and winked at him for a long time before he finally said in relief.
"This thing is still soothing and comfortable for my throat. Hmm...
What our old Cheng family values is to support ourselves, if we have the ability, we can go to heaven, if we don’t, we can go to the ditch."
"With dad here, your brothers will definitely not be short of something to eat."
"Third brother, it's your job to make money. In the future, you will also have to have children and flourish."
"Dad, is it too early for you to tell me this?" Cheng Chubi touched his face a little embarrassed.
Seeing the shy look on the third child's face, Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily, poured himself another glass and drained it in one gulp.
"Your eldest brother will inherit father's title in the future, and your second brother will also be your majesty's son-in-law."
"As for your three younger brothers, with dad here, there is no way I can get them official positions."
"If you have the ability, it's better. If you don't have the ability, it won't cost them less in food and clothing.
Third child, you relied on your ability to become an official in the East Palace and saved the emperor's life."
"I'm afraid my future future will be no worse than that of your two brothers."
Having said this, Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips, picked up the dark green round glass bottle, and said with emotion.
"Keep this thing for yourself. If you are interested, just move a few more treasures to your home so that I can feel more proud."
Putting down the glass bottle, Cheng Yaojin picked up the cup, touched it with Cheng Chubi, drained it in one gulp and laughed.
"This family belongs to dad. Do you understand? You will understand when you have a family in the future."
Cheng Chubi didn't say much, and after giving Cheng Yaojin a distant bow, he drained the wine in one gulp. It was boring to talk too much, and the feelings between the two of them were all lost in the wine.

The next day, Cheng Chubi was at the entrance of the alley. After waiting for Sun Simiao, they came to Yang's house together.
Before Cheng Chubi's hand landed on the door, the door had already opened, revealing Wu Mei's pretty face with picturesque features.
But seeing her smile sweetly, she broke out into a moving and dazzling smile.
"Master Cheng, Taoist Master Sun, please come in quickly..."
"This little girl is a sensible and good child..." Sun Simiao commented kindly.
Cheng Chubi was a little confused. Looking at Wu Mei, whose smile looked sincere and bright, he always felt that there was something wrong here.
This small body has not yet stretched out, and there is only one picture that can be called a stunning and pretty girl.
I always have either a straight face or a dark face, so smiling like this is a bit abnormal.
Sun Simiao walked into the room and began to treat Aunt Liu.
Cheng Chubi stood outside the door and watched seriously as the famous Taoist Master Sun began to perform acupuncture.
Wu Mei on the side glanced at Sun Simiao, who was looking at the diagnosis and treatment seriously, and then glanced at Cheng Chubi beside him from the corner of his eyes.
Indeed, although this silly big man has bad eyesight, his nature is indeed very kind.
When Aunt Liu was ill yesterday, he not only came in person, but also specially invited Dr. Sun to diagnose and treat Aunt Liu.
The frequent glances made Cheng Chubi feel more and more uncomfortable. He always felt that the girl next to him, who was obviously not in the right mood today, seemed to have a conspiracy.
Cheng Chubi felt that he needed to ask Wu Mei what she wanted to do.
"That..." Not only Cheng Chubi's voice, but Wu Mei also spoke the same words.
For a moment, the two looked at each other in confusion.
"What do you want to say?" Cheng Chubi looked at Wu Mei warily.
Wu Mei also looked at Cheng Chubi warily. "What about you? What do you want to say?"
Cheng Chubi looked at Wu Mei who was parroting him and immediately became happy. "This is Yang House and I am a guest. You can ask first."
"No, no, no, it's up to the host to do as he pleases. I think you should say it first." Wu Mei was very vigilant and used her spear and shield to attack her.
Cheng Chubi was not happy. What do you mean, you, a woman who can't even afford an A, couldn't just say a word?
"Sure, I just want to ask you what you want to say."
"???" Wu Mei never thought that this silly big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked very heroic, could be so sinister.
"You... okay, I just want to ask, can Daozhang Sun's medical skills be passed on to others?"
Cheng Chubi looked at Sun Simiao's back, thinking of his medical masterpiece that had been passed down for more than a thousand years, and nodded slightly.
"Generally speaking, it should be spread to outsiders, right? What, you want to study medicine?"
"Well, I want to learn." Wu Mei replied frankly without hesitation.
This time, Cheng Chubi was a little confused. "Why are you learning this?" Yesterday, he still despised the woman who was ordered by the imperial doctor.
It actually reversed today, which is too unscientific.
You will be a woman with the world in mind in the future. Even if you are a little down and out now, it is still a great responsibility given to you by heaven.
It is a necessary experience that must first strain one's mind and strain one's muscles and bones.

Wu Mei looked at the white-haired mother Yang sitting next to Aunt Liu in the room.
There was also the haggard-looking Aunt Liu, and the sleeping sister Wu Cha, who was held in her mother's arms.
Her fingers grasped the hem of her skirt tightly, causing her fingertips to lose their color due to the force.
"If I learn, I will be able to treat Aunt Liu and other family members in the future.
Maybe I can still make some money with this skill, so that I won't be like now..."
Listening to this calm and emotionless voice, a sense of powerlessness and helplessness overflowed inadvertently.
Cheng Chubi felt a slight pain in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Wu Mei, realizing that this was still the beginning of Zhenguan.
She, her mother, and her sister had gone from being well-dressed and well-educated in the past to what they were today, and the inner gap would inevitably affect her body and mind.
Seeing the change on Cheng Chubi's face, Wu Mei smiled brightly. "Don't worry, I am very smart. As long as I am willing to learn, I can learn anything."
She was obviously smiling, but why did she feel uncomfortable in her heart? Cheng Chubi took a breath and forced himself not to look at her bright, flowery smile.
"As long as you are willing to learn, then there will be no problem. Don't worry, Master Sun is a good person."
Cheng Chubi's eyes fell on Sun Simiao's back and whispered.
Well, Cheng Chubi didn't have any psychological burden at all by issuing a good guy card to Daochang Sun, who was already in his 70s and 80s.
"Actually, you are also a good person." Next to her, there was a girl with an appearance that would surely captivate an entire country.
With her voice as clear and clear as a lark singing, she directly stabbed Cheng Chubi in the back.
