Chapter 108: Prescribing a Formula

Jingwu was somewhat surprised to hear this. He turned to look at the expressionless boy, but said nothing more, nodded, and agreed.

"Okay, I'll pack my luggage tonight."

Shao Chengrui nodded and smiled, then said nothing more and focused on the game.

Jingwu sat beside him watching, but no one knew what he was thinking.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door. Jingwu had sharp ears and immediately went to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Qiao Xueyi, dressed in a lotus-colored dress and adorned with pearls and jade, stood at the door with a joyful expression.

She saw the young girl rush forward, grab her hand, and cry out with tears in her eyes, "Master, Master! I'm pregnant! I'm carrying a child!"

Jingwu blinked, withdrew his hand, and congratulated him with a smile: "Congratulations!"

Qiao Xueyi was in high spirits and quickly took out two hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed them into the girl's hand: "This is the payment, I hope the master will not find it offensive."

Jingwu's eyes lit up when he saw the silver note, and he accepted it with a smile. How could he possibly dislike it?

She put the silver notes away and looked up at her, about to speak, when she heard the person in front of her say something.

“Master, my husband and I will soon be leaving Pingyao County for the capital. We don’t know when we will meet again.”

Upon hearing this, Jingwu looked up, his face full of doubt: "You're also going to the capital?"

Qiao Xueyi nodded: "My father-in-law's name has been cleared, and the Emperor has issued a special decree ordering my husband to come to the capital for an audience."

Jingwu responded to this and then said, "I'm also going to the capital. Perfect timing, we can meet again in the capital."

"That's wonderful, Master. I was worried that if something happened again, it would be inconvenient to come and ask you for help since we're so far apart." Qiao Xueyi said with a smile, holding her hand. "If you were also in the capital, that would be much more convenient."

Jingwu withdrew his hand again, smiling and nodding.

She exchanged a few more polite words with the person in front of her, and then saw them off.

Jingwu returned to the house and began packing his clothes.

She was halfway through tidying up when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ah Wu, are you asleep?"

It was Ruan Chongyue's voice.

Upon hearing this, Jingwu immediately went to open the door.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

Ruan Chongyue followed her into the house, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She looked at the girl in front of her, hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I heard that Lady Wei is pregnant?"

Jingwu paused for a moment when he heard the name, then immediately realized that it referred to Qiao Xueyi, and nodded: "Yes, she just came to announce the good news today."

“A-Wu…” Ruan Chongyue looked at the person in front of her, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Um?"

"Could you do your aunt a favor?"

Looking at the hesitant person in front of him, Jingwu guessed what was going on, so he sat down and poured her a cup of tea: "What kind of help?"

"Could you... also take a look at whether I still have a chance with children?"

Jingwu nodded with a smile: "Okay, Aunt, please hold out your hand."

Ruan Chongyue obediently extended her hand, and the next second, the girl placed her fingers on her pulse and carefully took her pulse.

After a long while, he finally withdrew his hand.

"Aunt, your problem isn't serious. You just have some cold uterus and qi deficiency, which is probably because you didn't take proper care of yourself after that miscarriage."

Jingwu walked to the desk to the side, and while writing, he said, "I'll write down a few recipes for you and prescribe some medicine. If you take them, you'll be able to get your body back in shape in less than half a year."

Ruan Chongyue was slightly taken aback by these words: "No need for acupuncture?"

"No need, your problem isn't serious." Jingwu smiled and handed her the prescription he had written. "Aunt, as long as you take it as prescribed, you will definitely get what you want in six months."

Ruan Chongyue blushed as she held the paper in her hand: "Thank you, Awu."

Jingwu was taken aback for a moment when he heard the thanks, then he took her hand and said with a smile, "We are family, no need to thank me."

Ruan Chongyue was overjoyed and quickly put the two prescriptions away.

"By the way, Aunt," Jingwu suddenly remembered something and turned to ask, "I heard that neither you nor Uncle are going to the capital this time?"

"Yes, the shop is doing so well that I'm really worried about it. Your uncle is also worried about the farm work in the fields, so we plan to go when your eldest cousin takes the imperial examination."

Ruan Chongyue sat down on the edge of the bed naturally and helped her tidy up her clothes.

"Be careful on your journey. Once you reach the capital, send a letter back to put your uncle and me at ease."

"Okay." Jingwu readily agreed.

She walked to the other side and started packing her things.

Ruan Chongyue gave detailed instructions, without stopping her hands.

Jingwu was packing his things on the other side, occasionally responding with a word.

The scene was very heartwarming, just like that of a mother and daughter.

The next day, Jingwu got up very early and carried all the packed things to the front door.

As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she saw the carriage already waiting.

"Master, I heard you're coming with us this time too?" Yan Shengming had been peeking out from behind the curtain, and as soon as he saw her come out, he jumped off the carriage and walked over with a smile.

“Young Master Yan.” Jing Wu nodded to him, “Yes, I’m also coming to the capital with you this time.”

"That's great! With you here, I feel confident that I'll pass the imperial examination this time."

Upon hearing this, Jingwu recalled the scene before the provincial examination when he had impersonated a spirit of words.

She had a premonition that this scene would definitely be repeated before the imperial examination.

Soon, Shao Chengrui came out of his house and casually carried Jingwu's luggage onto the second carriage.

"Ah Wu, please sit down..."

Before he could finish speaking, a boy came out from next door and interrupted him.

"Awu, let's ride in the same carriage."

Yue Huai was carrying only a small bag. He held it up in front of her and waved it, and the aroma of roast chicken immediately wafted out.

Jingwu made a quick decision and readily agreed: "Okay."

Although Shao Chengrui was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything after seeing that his cousin had agreed.

Yue Huai smiled and pointed to the luxurious carriage next to him, then led the person into the carriage.

Yan Shengming, on the other hand, stared blankly at the character "Yue" on the carriage.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" After Shao Chengrui got into the carriage, he didn't see anyone else getting on, so he poked his head out and asked.

Yan Shengming then realized what was happening, hurriedly boarded the carriage, and eagerly asked, "That's the Yue family! Don't you think it's the Yue family, the ones with royal relatives?"

“Yes.” Shao Chengrui curled his lip and said unhappily, “He is Yue Huai, the only son of the Yue family in this generation.”

"My God!" Yan Shengming's eyes widened instantly, unable to hide his excitement: "Master is indeed a master! He actually knows such a powerful family."
