When Qi Yue returned home, Chang Yuncheng sat impatiently in the room.
"You go make soup." He said directly.
"There is soup for dinner, I just saw it." Qi Yue said, washing her hands in the copper basin held by the girl.
"I want you to make it as a midnight snack." Chang Yuncheng said.
"We're just about to have dinner, so let's talk about midnight snacks." Qi Yue wiped her hands and said with a smile.
"Go if you are told. Why do you ask so many questions?" Chang Yuncheng said.
This stinky man's temper has gotten worse since he took the initiative to seek peace.
Qi Yue rolled her eyes at him.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked.
Chang Yuncheng was a little surprised when he saw that she was so obedient and didn't say anything. He couldn't help but smile on his pretendingly serious face, and he quickly held it back.
"Just do what you do best," he said.
Qi Yue laughed loudly.
"I'm good at a lot..." she said.
Chang Yuncheng couldn't help laughing.
"You woman, you are so shameless." He frowned and said.
"Nonsense, what is thick-skinned, what is confidence?" Qi Yue smiled and raised her nose at him, "Wait."
When night fell, Chang Yuncheng stepped into Xie's Ronganyuan and reached out to take the food box held by the little girl behind him.
"Do you know what to say and what not to say?" he whispered.
The little girl nodded quickly.
"I know, I know, the prince ate all the midnight snacks in the study," she said.
Chang Yuncheng waved his hand.
The little girl hurriedly left, and the girl and servant here had already heard the sound and came out.
"The prince is here."
Mr. Xie put down the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked at Chang Yuncheng with a smile.
"Why are you here now?" she asked.
"I haven't been at home these past few days. I came back late and my mother took a break, so I came here to say hello to my mother today." Chang Yuncheng said with a smile, sitting casually in his usual seat and kicking off his shoes.
The little girl brought the foot stove and placed it with him.
"What is this?" Ms. Xie looked at the food box on the table and smelled the aroma.
"Supper." Chang Yuncheng sat down, opened the food box, and took it out himself, "I came here to eat with my mother."
Mr. Xie smiled.
"I'm too old to eat greasy food." She smiled, "You can eat it."
"Mom, it's not greasy, it's radish and tofu." Chang Yuncheng smiled and filled a bowl for her and handed it over, "Try it."
Radish tofu?
What’s so good about making soup?
Mrs. Xie looked over and saw large pieces of tofu, silver-threaded radish, and a few bits of minced coriander sprinkled on top of the white, tender and refreshing soup.
"Oh, this soup is really bright." Mother Su smiled and took a sniff, "Well, it doesn't have the turbid smell of radish."
"Let me try it," Ms. Xie said, picking up the spoon and eating it slowly.
Chang Yuncheng looked at her nervously.
Mr. Xie nodded and smiled in admiration at him.
"Not bad," she said.
Chang Yuncheng smiled with relief, picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth.
"You kid! Eat slowly." Ms. Xie said with a smile.
Mother and son were talking and eating at the same time, and actually finished everything Chang Yuncheng brought.
"Oh, I ate too much tonight." Ms. Xie said with a smile, and she was also surprised. "This soup is good. If you ask the cook who made it, you will get a reward later."
Mother Su responded yes and looked at Chang Yuncheng.
"Don't worry about it, mother. I'll just reward you. It's my son's filial piety and I won't let my mother pay." Chang Yuncheng said with a smile.
Mrs. Xie and Mother Su both laughed.
The girl packed up her food box and left.
"Has that woman been bothering you again lately?" Ms. Xie asked.
That woman? Chang Yuncheng was stunned for a moment.
"No, she's fine." He said hurriedly.
Mrs. Xie looked at Mother Su and said, "Look, my son won't let me worry and won't tell the truth." Mother Su nodded.
"Ignore her." Ms. Xie said, then pondered for a moment, "Yuncheng, do you still remember Miss Rao from your aunt's family years ago?"
Chang Yuncheng frowned.
"Which one?" He couldn't remember for a moment.
"It's the girl from the Rao family in Shandong that the prince sent to the old lady's house on his way to the house." Su's mother added.
Chang Yuncheng said oh and remembered.
"What do you think of that girl?" Ms. Xie said with a smile, taking out the shoes lying nearby, "Look, she gave them to me."
These ladies like to give this to each other to show off their beauty.
Sew it up...
It's also needlework, but the woman's best needlework is actually doing it on people. It's really scary... exciting.
A smile appeared on Chang Yuncheng's lips.
Seeing Chang Yuncheng's smile, Mrs. Xie was overjoyed and looked at each other with Mother Su.
"That girl..." Ms. Xie said.
"Master Hou is here." The girl outside announced.
Mrs. Xie and others hurriedly stood up to greet them, and Dingxihou came in already rubbing his hands and wearing a big cloak.
"Why are you here now?" asked Xie.
Chang Yuncheng rushed to Dingxihou to salute him.
"Why can't I come over?" Ding Xihou said with a glare, "This is my home. I can go wherever I want."
Xie curled her lips.
"Aunt Zhu is going to give birth in the next few days, why don't you go over and take a look?" she said.
Seeing them talking, Chang Yuncheng resigned.
"Let me see what that one is doing, it's a woman's business." Ding Xihou said, taking the tea from the girl and looking at Chang Yuncheng, "Don't go out all the time. If you come back after a long time, spend more time with Yueniang."
"Brother Cheng is not going out. That woman is running out all day long." Ms. Xie said immediately.
"Yue Niang wants to open a medicine shop, so it's normal to be busy." Ding Xihou said.
Seeing the two people arguing again, Chang Yuncheng saluted again and walked out.
The wind blew the snow on his face, and the little girl hurriedly held an umbrella for him.
Chang Yuncheng walked into the room. Qi Yue was still writing and drawing. There was a pile of papers piled on the table. When he saw him coming back, he said hello.
"What is this? Is it so scary?" Chang Yuncheng walked over, picked up one, and said with a frown.
Qi Yue looked over.
"Oh, a diagram of the orbicularis oris muscle split," she said.
Oral chakra? What? |
"What about this one?" Chang Yuncheng picked up another one.
"Alveolar mucosal incision..." Qi Yue replied.
Where did you learn these incomprehensible words?
Chang Yuncheng threw down the piece of paper and went to the table to flip through it again.
"Oh, don't look at it. It scares you so much that you dare not sleep at night." Qi Yue said with a smile.
"Scared?" Chang Yuncheng sneered, "For those of you who have slept among the dead, these few pictures of yours have scared me?"
"That's different." Qi Yue said with a smile, sorting out the drawings on the table, "The flesh and blood we are facing is different from the intuitive dead."
Chang Yuncheng shook the drawing in his hand and looked at it with interest.
"It can be sewn. It's so simple. Why didn't others think of it?" he said.
Qi Yue smiled.
"It's not that simple. Think about it, what would it be like if you couldn't sew clothes well?" she asked.
Twisting and twisting...
"Yes, if human skin can't be sewn well..." Qi Yue gestured with his hands.
"Can't you just say that you are great? There are so many detours." Chang Yuncheng said with a snort and threw the drawings on the table.
"Young Madam." Aru's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Someone from Qianjin Hall said there is a serious emergency."
Dingxihou and Xie were called up just as they were about to rest.
"Look, what has become of such a good young lady?" Ms. Xie sneered coldly.
"Life is a big deal." Ding Xihou said, frowning at Qi Yue, "If there is any emergency this late at night... I have to go out... Can't you come to our house?"
"Father, he was severely injured and cannot move." Qi Yue explained with a smile.
Dingxihou nodded.
"Go and bring more people," he said.
The guards at the second gate were already standing, holding torches and lighting up the fire.
"You don't have to go, just follow me if you have so many people." Qi Yue looked at Chang Yuncheng who was coming in a cloak and said hurriedly, "You are sitting outside even if you go, and the people in Qianjin Hall are not comfortable yet."
Chang Yuncheng stood still.
"That would make me feel uncomfortable." Qi Yue said again.
Chang Yuncheng then raised his hand and touched his nose, and hummed in a muffled voice.
Qi Yue turned around, patted her chest gently and breathed a sigh of relief.
The corner door of Dingxi Houfu opened, and a group of people escorted the carriage and drove out towards the street in the night.
"You guys just wait in the lobby. I'm going to do an operation in the back. Don't let anyone disturb you." Qi Yue said.
The guards responded in unison.
Qi Yue glanced at them again and took Aru into the inner hall with the disciples of Qianjin Hall.
"This way."
As soon as they entered the inner hall, Hu San stood in the corner and greeted them in a low voice.
Qi Yue and A'ru hurriedly walked over and walked through a small door to the back street. Liu Pucheng and four disciples were already waiting there. No one said anything and waved their hands. Liu Pucheng, Qi Yue and A'ru sat on the donkey beside them.
The car and the group of people disappeared into the back street.
Because it was not the first lunar month, the New Year atmosphere was still very strong, but there was no festive atmosphere in the place in front of me. In the dark night, the two white paper lanterns swaying in the cold wind looked particularly eye-catching.
When we got here, the original few disciples became obviously nervous. They all walked quickly next to each other with their heads hunched and their hands held.
Aru also couldn't help but get close to Qi Yue.
Hu San was walking in the middle of several disciples, and suddenly reached out and stabbed the disciple in front of him, which frightened the disciple and screamed, causing the others to jump wildly.
Liu Pucheng turned back and glared at them, and the disciples hurriedly crowded together again.
"What are you doing!" The disciples turned around and scolded the culprit in a low voice.
Hu San shrank his head and looked around.
"I always feel like I hear someone crying..." he whispered.
These words immediately made the hairs of several disciples stand on end.
"Shut up, shut up." They yelled in a low voice.
Hu San covered his mouth with his hands.
The donkey cart stopped and Qi Yue got out of the cart.
"Donkeys are not allowed to come near here. Madam Qi is tired and walks over." Liu Pucheng said.
"Why don't you let the donkey cart approach?" Hu San couldn't help but ask.
Before Liu Pucheng spoke, Qi Yue looked at him and smiled.
"Because the eyes of donkeys, cows, etc. can see things that humans can't see... so I'm afraid they will disturb them..." She whispered, suddenly stopping, "What is that?"
Her sudden shout made Hu San scream in fright, and he threw himself on a disciple next to him, who also screamed in fright.
Several disciples huddled together.
"Ms. Qi." Liu Pucheng turned around and said with a bit of anger.
Qi Yue covered her mouth with her hand and smiled lowly, speeding up her pace to follow Liu Pucheng, and Aru also hurriedly followed.
Hu San raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth.
"I'll let you ask more questions." He said to himself, watching the master in front of him walking away, and hurriedly followed him.
Liu Pucheng stood in front of the door and knocked on the door with his low hand, while Qi Yue looked around curiously. Feeling that Aru behind him was short of breath, he turned around with a smile to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid...ah..." Qi Yuecai opened his mouth and let out a low cry.
"Master, you are teasing me again!" Hu San said, not being fooled this time.
Qi Yue looked to the left and put her hand to her mouth. The white lights under the eaves covered her wide eyes, indicating that she was indeed frightened.
Hu San felt a chill down his spine, and turned his neck stiffly to follow Qi Yue's line of sight.
In the dark night, a white robe floated over.
"Mother." Hu San shouted and got behind Liu Pucheng.
"woman?"
A male voice came from the side of the white robe, and he shook his head, revealing the man in black behind him.
Wearing black clothes, he was not obvious in the night, and he was holding a conspicuous white robe in his hand, which made the people behind him even more ignored.
"Brother Xiao Coffin." Liu Pucheng nodded and greeted the visitor.
The visitor stood under the lantern. Qi Yue saw that he was a young man with a slender figure and clean facial features. He was holding a white robe in his hand and shaking.
When Qi Yue looked at this person, he was also looking at her.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Qi Yue wrapped his head and face with a black scarf, leaving only one eye exposed. Wrapped in a big cloak, he looked even more charming.
"Woman?" Coffin Boy said again, confirming that he had read correctly, with a look of shock on his face.*** (To be continued)
