Chapter 362 Good, Awesome

Aunt Cheng silently gave Nanbao a big thumbs up in her heart.

Nanbao tilted her head and looked back and forth at Madam Cheng and Jiang Chengshi. She giggled and said, "Madam, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. You and my madam look a bit alike. Madam, your last name is Cheng, and so is my grandmother's. Could you be sisters from the same family?"

These words made the two old men freeze in place.

Jiang Cheng looked up and looked at Nanny Cheng carefully for a few times. She rubbed her eyes. She did have a sister before, but they had been separated for so many years and had no contact. At that time, the family was poor, very poor. In order to support their son, her parents wanted to sell their daughter to supplement the family income. Originally, it was decided to sell her because she was younger and could not do many jobs. She was the most suitable one to be sold. However, her sister Cheng Danniu felt sorry for her and was sold in her place. From then on, they had been at odds with each other for life and death.

Until now, she still often dreams about the scene when she was a child and her sister took her to the mountains to collect grass for pigs. Her sister gave her all the delicious food. She swore that she would never be like her parents who favored boys over girls. She would not sell her daughter no matter how poor she was, and would not let her daughter suffer no matter how hard her life was.

That's why she insisted on raising Jiang Lianzhu and protecting her to survive, all because of this sister.

She didn't want her daughter to go through the same suffering she had gone through.

Now that she has raised it, she will keep it until the end.

No matter how hard or tiring it is.

But... this nanny is currently hunched over, with large birthmarks on her face. She's estimated to be at least ten years older than her. Her sister is only three years older than her. Her sister was sold at the age of thirteen, and she was only ten at that time...

Her sister didn't have birthmarks on her face. She was a very pretty girl in the area, but she wouldn't have grown up like this.

Probably not.

While Jiang Cheng was still sizing her up, Nanny Cheng smiled and said, "Young Miss, you're quite articulate. How can a kitchen servant like me be compared to a blessed old lady like your grandmother? Besides, we don't look alike, not at all. Your grandmother looks blessed, unlike me, who has a hard-working life. We share the same surname by chance, and I'm not from Shamen County. I've always lived in Chubei Mansion."

Nanbao also laughed and said, "I was just saying it casually! Auntie seems to be a good person. She made delicious food for us and taught me some cooking recipes. Thank you, Auntie."

"You're too polite, young lady. I'm the cook of this inn. This is my job. I'm content as long as the distinguished guests are satisfied."

After they had discussed almost all the recipes, Jiang Cheng gave her the recipes for pickled fish and sour soup fish. Aunt Cheng was very happy and pondered over and over again.

Later, Jiang Chengshi tried to give Nanny Cheng some money. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to ask for the prescription.

Jiang Lianzhu had always been generous to her. Not only did she give her money to buy groceries every day, she also often gave her pocket money so that she could buy whatever she wanted to eat or have. She had saved all of it and now had a small fortune of several dozen taels.

She gave Nanny Cheng thirty taels of silver. This old sister got along very well with her, so she was willing to give so much.

Madam Cheng refused to accept it no matter what. "I am old, I have enough food, drink and shelter, and I don't have any descendants. What do I need so much silver for? No, no, thank you very much, old lady."

When Jiang Cheng heard that she had no descendants, she inexplicably felt a sense of sympathy for her.

"If we don't leave tomorrow, I'll come to the kitchen and learn how to cook from you..."

Aunt Cheng's face lit up immediately, "Okay!! Okay!!"

***

Jiang Lianzhu worked until midnight and obtained several mutant sequence viruses through blood analysis.

It is a bit inappropriate to call it a virus. It is more like some kind of tiny insect that is invisible to the naked eye. Jiang Lianzhu tried to use several drugs to kill the insect, but the result was that the insect came back to life, which means it was regenerated.

It must be another insect virus cultivated by some secret method.

Very difficult to deal with.

Jiang Lianzhu tried several methods, but none of them worked. Not only did the virus have the ability to regenerate, it was also extremely destructive. This was blood taken from Mao Shurong's brain, which meant that the virus had controlled Mao Shurong's brain and had penetrated into his brain. If a rough method was used to kill the virus, Mao Shurong would become an idiot if he didn't die.

This definitely won't work.

She heard someone talking outside.

It belongs to Jiang Cheng and her family.

"Governor Liao, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"I just went out to do something. Where have you been? Did you just come back?"

Then I heard my daughter's clear voice, "Dad, I'm going to play in the big kitchen. I've learned how to grind beans. I'm so awesome!"

"Good boy, that's awesome." Liao Jiu said happily.

This girl is still the most loved one. The eldest and second daughter both call her Governor Liao, and only when the daughter is in a good mood will she say the word "Dad".

When he heard this word, he was happy.

"My grandma also made a friend, a nanny named Cheng, who taught her how to cook..."

Liao Jiu hummed, "Okay, okay, go wash up and rest when you're tired."

In fact, he knew where Jiang Cheng and the others were going and what they were doing, but he just chatted with them casually when they met.

Jiang Cheng took her little girl back to the house.

After a while, Liao Jiu knocked on the door of Jiang Lianzhu's room.

Come in.

Liao Jiu asked, "What happened?"

After they came back from Mao Shurong, Jiang Lianzhu went back to her room to study her condition and didn't want outsiders to disturb her. Dabao went back to the room to rest, and he went to talk to Xiang Zuo.

Jiang Lianzhu sighed. "It's difficult. There's no good solution at the moment. I can only confirm that this is a regenerative insect virus with great destructive power. But I've never seen it before. I wonder if there are any ancient books or allusions to it that I could look up."

After this incident on the cliff where she had modern weapons versus ancient insect repellent techniques, she felt awe.

We should not underestimate the wisdom and heritage of the ancient people. There are always people better than us, and we should learn more sincerely, read more, think more, and reflect more.

Liao Jiu touched his chin and thought, "There's a Chubei Academy in Chubei Prefecture. It has a huge collection of books, including quite a few medical books. Many scholars travel thousands of miles to study at the Chubei Academy. How about we go to the Chubei Academy tomorrow and borrow some books from there for a few days to see if we can find any useful ancient medical books?"

Jiang Lianzhu's eyes lit up. "Okay, but won't that delay our trip to the capital? Will there be any accidents..."

"Mao Shurong is currently our most important witness. If we don't cure his illness, he will be useless. This matter is of great importance, so a delay of two days shouldn't be a problem. Xiang Zuo is already here, so his safety should be fine."

Since Xiang Zuo hadn't come yet, he couldn't guarantee it 100%.
