Jiang Lao Er pretended not to care, but when he saw Jiang Mingxu, his anger flared up instantly.
He reached out to grab the child, but unexpectedly, he grabbed a handful of silver needles.
Jiang Mingxu grinned at his second uncle, whose hands had turned into hedgehog-like quills. "Do you think I pricked them correctly?"
Tian Bu'er stomped her feet in anger, "No, no, how did you learn that?"
The human hand has six meridians (three Yin and three Yang) and thirty-six acupoints.
There were eighteen silver needles in this bundle, and the brat only managed to prick seventeen of them correctly.
Jiang Mingxu pouted. "That's because you didn't teach me well. I'm going home."
He doesn't want to see his second uncle; he's so annoying.
The little boy limped away from the small courtyard. Jiang Lao Er wanted to chase after him, but his hands were full of silver needles, and the pain made his forehead covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.
"Doctor, doctor, please save me, I'm in so much pain!"
Tian Bu'er rolled her eyes at the cowardly man. "How much is this?"
He extended two fingers, pinched the needle ends, and pulled out the silver needles.
Is this kid alright?
He pierced seventeen acupoints with one hand, which is much more impressive than he was back then. He really is a natural-born doctor.
Looking at the person who was almost unconscious, Tian Bu'er frowned. "What's your relationship with that kid?"
The two elders weren't stupid. They noticed that the doctor had a good relationship with Jiang Mingxu. They rolled their eyes and said, "It's nothing, it's just that his mother and children have disappeared and the family is worried."
Tian Bu'er nodded. "Didn't they say her husband died? That her house is haunted?"
After inserting the needle, Tian Bu'er looked at the person who had collapsed limply and sneered, "What tricks are you trying to play in front of me?"
Do you think he's a fool?
Jiang Lao Er's fall suddenly brought Jiang Er Sao to her senses. "Kill..."
Before the word "person" could be uttered, Tian Bu'er struck him with a silver needle, silencing him.
It's so noisy and annoying.
...
The next day, when Gu An'an took Jiang Mingxu to Tian Bu'er's house, the little boy looked unhappy. "Mom, I don't want to see my second uncle and aunt."
It's so annoying, I can't help but want to give them injections.
What if it causes serious injury?
"They've already left. You should first learn to identify medicinal herbs from Doctor Tian. After you've finished learning, go home and find your older brother and sister to help them tidy up their house, okay?"
Jiang Mingxu looked at the person squatting in front of him, looking up to straighten his clothes. His young face showed a hint of reluctance. "Okay, I'll learn it and massage Mom's shoulders later."
"Mingxu is so good, go ahead."
Living next to Wataru has some advantages, such as making it convenient for Jiang Mingxu to study medicine.
In fact, Gu An'an had something on her mind all along: Jiang Mingxu's leg.
The little boy's right leg was slightly shorter than his left, and even after he became a disciple of Medicine King Valley, he was still unable to cure his leg.
He's still young, is there still a chance?
Tian Bu'er probably didn't want to disappoint her, so he didn't give her a clear answer.
For now, Gu An'an could only try anything as a last resort. Once she had managed things well here, she would take Jiang Mingxu to Medicine King Valley to find a divine doctor to treat his leg.
Let's settle down first.
Gu An'an is setting up her stall today.
The shop wasn't ready yet, so Gu An'an was still setting up her stall in the same old spot, but when talking to customers, she mentioned that she was going to "move".
"So, Madam Gu, are there any special offers for your grand opening?"
Since they were all regular customers, Gu An'an was very generous. "Of course, how about I give everyone a 50% discount and a free plate of tripe each?"
The diners all praised her, saying, "Mrs. Gu is so straightforward."
Actually, not many people care about those few coins; they just want good luck.
Gu An'an gave them face, and the diners accepted it.
The two sides chatted happily, but Bai Qiaoyin, who was on a small building in the distance, didn't look too good.
"Why didn't you tell me that bastard child returned to the capital?"
Twenty-Three remained expressionless. "This matter has nothing to do with you."
"How is this none of my business?" Bai Qiaoyin's expression twisted slightly. "Do you think you can climb up to the old man's tree, so you don't take the young master seriously?"
Twenty-Three looked calmly at the person who was speaking ill of him, "You don't need to provoke me."
Bai Qiaoyin scoffed lightly, "Is that so? It seems I was just being presumptuous."
The woman's expression turned cold. As she turned to leave the small building, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at the person still standing there. "I was thinking, you wouldn't happen to have taken a fancy to that young widow, would you? If you're really interested, I might be willing to grant your wish."
Twenty-three remained calm for a long while before speaking, "She is not a widow."
"Really?" Bai Qiaoyin laughed. "You even know that? It seems you really care about this woman, Twenty-Three. Well then..."
Twenty-Three interrupted her, a rare occurrence, "The young master ordered me to return to the capital on business. You'd better take care of yourself."
Take care of yourself.
Bai Qiaoyin chuckled, "I knew I hit a nerve. Are you threatening me, Twenty-Three?"
But these words were destined to receive no reply.
Twenty-three leaped down and headed towards the food stall.
I don't know if I'll ever come back after this departure, so I always have to eat something I like before I leave.
It's rare for me to indulge myself like this.
Twenty-three forced a smile and said, "Boss lady, a bowl of soup."
Gu An'an wouldn't actually drive away the customers, but this smile was even uglier than crying, and she really couldn't bear to look at it.
The food stalls are always bustling.
Originally there was only one table, but Gu An'an added another one in the last two days. After all, the new house is very close to this food stall, so moving it over wouldn't be a hassle.
Twenty-three occupied a corner, listening to the others chatter away. Occasionally, Gu An'an would chime in, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"The battle at this pass came suddenly, but I heard it's about to stop. Our General An is truly mighty, he routed the Xiyong army."
"I heard that it was Marquis Pingyuan who strongly recommended General An so that he was able to go into battle to fight the enemy."
“Our emperor, who came from a military background, is most wary of generals whose achievements overshadow his own.”
Shh, be quiet.
Gu An'an had little interest in court affairs; the saying "When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer" perfectly captured the essence of feudal dynasties.
Gu An'an, who was not in a position to concern herself with politics, only wanted to raise her children well at the moment; other matters were none of her concern.
After finishing her work, Gu An'an sat down to rest for a while, when she suddenly heard that familiar voice.
"Doesn't Madam Gu care about the border war?"
Gu An'an glanced at Twenty-Three, "I'm just a woman, and I don't know much about this war."
These words made Twenty-Three thoughtful. "What does Madam Gu think of General An?"
This question is really a bit nonsensical.
Gu An'an smiled and said, "I don't know him, and the general doesn't care what my opinion is."
His words carried an air of nonchalance, causing Twenty-Three to momentarily lose his composure. "Is that really true?"
