Intelligent and Protective Young Lady VS Gentle and Reserved Young Master.
Miss Hua Fushu, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, has a fiancé who is the legitimate son of the Grand General&...
When Hua Fushu mentioned Lanling, Ye Zelin remembered what he said during the day. He had heard his grandfather mention the Xinglin Ceremony.
The Xinglin Huidian, also known as the Medical Dian Conference, was jointly held by several major medical families in the pre-Tang Dynasty. Its purpose was to exchange medical skills and overcome difficult and complicated diseases. Most of the participants were famous doctors from all over the country. Later, the royal family sent medical officers to participate, and gradually it became a practice for medical officers to participate in every Xinglin Huidian.
After the fall of the Former Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty continued the tradition of sending medical officers to participate in every Xinglin Conference.
His maternal grandfather was named "Supreme Master of the Medical Academies" by the late Emperor because he won the first prize.
The venue of the Xinglin Huidian was moved from Xijing to Luoyang, and then to Lanling during the reign of Emperor Taizong. Every Xinglin Huidian since then has been held in Lanling.
His Majesty Huidi, the third monarch of the Song Dynasty, was very keen on medicine, so he issued an edict to establish the Xinglin Society, with the leader of Xinglin serving as the president and presiding over each Xinglin meeting. He also separated Lanling from the court and let it be governed by each president of Xinglin. The court was not allowed to send officials to govern it and was not allowed to interfere in all matters of Lanling, but Lanling still belonged to the Song Dynasty.
"You were invited to participate in the Xinglin Festival, so your medical skills must be quite good. The doggerel that Su Nian sang, 'A skilled doctor has blossomed in the Xinglin forest, and no one can surpass him,' refers to your medical skills. However, I don't understand why you, being so knowledgeable in medicine, don't let others know. You even belittle yourself by saying you're neither good at literature nor martial arts, and are good for nothing."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "My mother hired many nurses and aunts to teach me the etiquette of the boudoir, but I didn't care for learning these things. I don't know anything about needlework, flower arrangement, incense, or tea making. Sanqiao, on the other hand, is very proficient in it. Mother always says that Sanqiao is more girlish than me. Mother didn't approve of me studying medicine, thinking that it was useless for her daughter to learn these things. She said I was useless, and I just agreed with her. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who shows off too much."
Ye Zelin casually asked about last year's Xinglin Festival and also asked about 'Miao Niangzi'.
Hua Fushu said, "Master is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is also a lazy person. More than ten years ago, she and your grandfather won the first prize together. Because your grandfather was a medical officer in the Imperial Hospital, he did not take over the Xinglin Guild. The Xinglin Guild President had no choice but to look for my master to take over the position. However, my master ran away. Ten years later, Master won the first prize again, and despite the Xinglin Guild's repeated pestering, he took over the position of president. At that time, I thought Master would stay in Lanling and serve as the president, her own Lanling master. But I didn't expect that she would set up a Council of Elders to manage all Lanling affairs and escape to live a carefree life."
Ye Zelin said: "Mrs. Miao is an interesting person, free and easy, doing whatever she wants, and unrestrained."
In the eighteen years since her birth, Hua Fushu has never submitted to anyone except her master Miao Niangzi. To her, her master is her closest and most beloved relative, a god-like figure. Apart from her family, no one can compare to her master's importance in her heart.
"Master has superb medical skills, outstanding insights, and extraordinary abilities. As a daughter, she is not inferior to men, and even surpasses them. If she takes action, the Song Dynasty will definitely see a new look, and it is possible that the Song Dynasty will change its ruler."
Ye Zelin was surprised that she dared to say such words as the change of ownership of the country.
He deliberately lowered his voice to remind her, "It's a good thing you said something like this in front of me. If someone else told you, your Hua family and your master would be beheaded, and even my Ye family might be implicated. The current emperor is merciful, and even if he doesn't want to punish you, he can't stop the world from talking about you."
After saying this, he became more meaningful. "You are free and easy, but you should also know that words can cause trouble. Officials in the court should be cautious in what they say and do. If you say something inappropriate, the censors in the Censorate may catch it and report it to His Majesty. For two years, I served as the Crown Prince's tutor, and I was always very cautious and treading on thin ice. The Ye family is favored by the Zhao Dynasty and commands 300,000 troops stationed in the northwest. We must be even more cautious in what we say and do. As a member of the Ye family, you must also be cautious in what you say and do."
Hua Fushu felt that he was very long-winded. She just casually praised the master a few words, but he could go on to talk at length, which made her annoyed with him.
Ye Zelin let her get angry and said, "Whether you go to the gambling house or climb a tree to play with birds, just keep your mouth shut. Don't let me hear such outrageous lies next time, and don't let others know."
Hua Fushu couldn't stand it anymore and started to teach him to curse. This nagging and old-fashioned Ye Zelin made her even more annoyed. She glared at him fiercely and went down the ladder, leaving Ye Zelin alone.
He gazed at the bright moon and the gentle breeze, and couldn't help but sigh: The moon waxes and wanes, but it will eventually be full, but some people are still struggling between life and death, under attack from all sides...
The breeze is gentle and the clouds are flowing. There is a bunch of yellow forsythia in the yard.
Hua Fushu was taking a nap in the house when she suddenly heard a loud noise and was about to fall down. Fortunately, Sanqiao supported her in time.
Hua Fushu was complaining about who was yelling and causing her to almost fall to the ground, and then that person came in. The maid turned out to be Zi Su, who was sent by Qing Dai to serve her.
Zi Su came hurriedly and said that the second master's madness had relapsed, and the old lady ordered her to ask the young lady to come over and help Qingdai.
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Please go back and tell your old lady that someone said that a simple case of insanity is not a problem. My limited skills cannot help your miraculous doctor sister. Please seek help from someone else."
Hua Fushu's implication was that he would not go. Zi Su became even more anxious and kept begging Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu smiled back at her, "I'm so sorry. I told you not to come to me if you need anything. I won't go even if you beg me. Besides, your sister, the miraculous doctor, said she was taught by Ouyang Yi himself and her medical skills are far superior to other doctors. Why does she need my help? She's not qualified to ask for my help."
Hua Fushu yawned and wanted to catch up on his sleep, so he asked Sanqiao to send Zisu out.
Sanqiao quickly pushed Zisu out and locked the door. Zisu had no choice but to leave in shame.
Over at Qingnangju, Second Master Ouyang suffered a severe mad attack and beat several servants until their faces were bruised and one of them had a broken bone.
Ye Zelin and Ouyang Jingming subdued the Second Master Ouyang, locked him up in Qingnangju and locked it up.
When Mrs. Gao saw that Qingdai couldn't calm Master Ouyang down, she asked Zisu to call Hua Fushu over.
When Qingdai saw Zisu coming back, she hurriedly pulled her to Old Lady Gao. However, the old lady did not see Hua Fushu, so she questioned Zisu.
Zi Su hesitated for a long time before she said, "The young lady said not to look for her if you have any problems. She wouldn't come even if Sister Qingdai begged her to. She also said that Sister Qingdai has great magical powers and is not qualified to ask for her help."
Old Madam Gao was very displeased and said to Ye Zelin, "Brother Lin, you are such a proud lady and look down on everyone!"
Ye Zelin bowed to Old Madam Gao, asking her not to be angry. He then continued, "Fushu is a disciple of Madam Miao. Madam Miao was the champion of the Xinglin Festival last year and is also the Lord of Lanling. Fushu can be considered the Young Lord of Lanling. The Xinglin Festival brings together the world's top medical practitioners, and Fushu ranked 19th. The doctors of the Imperial Hospital are the best in the medical field. The deputy director also participated in last year's festival, but ranked 18th. You can imagine that Fushu's medical skills are not inferior to those of the Imperial Hospital. It's understandable that she is a bit arrogant."
Glancing at Qingdai out of the corner of his eye, he added, "She said that yesterday when she was angry. Grandaunt, don't take it seriously."
Old Lady Gao and Qingdai were quite surprised that Hua Fushu was actually the disciple of "Miao Niangzi" and the young master of Lanling.
