After drinking two jars of fine wine, the two began to chat.
"How is it? Is Mobei's wine delicious?"
“It’s delicious.”
Princess Zhaoyang smiled triumphantly, and her smile was like a lamp, lighting up the dark corners in Xiang Anbang's heart.
The green grass leaves danced in the breeze. Many unknown wild flowers bloomed outside the octagonal pavilion, emitting a faint fragrance. Xiang Anbang had never felt that life was so beautiful.
He used to like to chat and laugh in the crowd to numb himself, but now he prefers to be alone, looking at a flower, tasting a cup of strong tea.
At first, Old Lady Xiang suspected that her grandson was possessed by an evil spirit, otherwise why would he suddenly change his personality?
An out-and-out playboy suddenly stopped hanging out and started reading books, drinking tea, and practicing martial arts and swordplay.
Old Lady Xiang frowned and planned to secretly find a half-immortal to tell Xiang Anbang's fortune.
That day, Xiang Anbang danced with the sword as usual, his sword skills were vigorous and powerful, showing the style of a master.
The half-immortal that Old Lady Xiang had found was talking in a mysterious way, singing and dancing like a village opera performer.
He was mumbling some incantations, wearing a strange black dress and a string of beads on his wrist.
Holding a wooden fish in his hand, he looks out of place. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the half-immortal is a liar. How can a half-immortal use both Buddhist instruments and domestic instruments?
Every time Banxian came, Old Lady Xiang gave him eighty taels. He came three times in a month, and Banxian transferred two hundred and forty taels with tears in his eyes.
Old Lady Xiang was always generous, and she took pity on her, an old lady who was still jumping around, so she gave her ten more taels, making it a total of two hundred and fifty taels.
After practicing sword, Xiang Anbang stretched his muscles and poured himself a glass of water. The water was full of dust. Xiang Anbang picked up the cup and poured out the waste water, then asked the servant to change it for him.
"I can't get there. I paid for the magic water, which costs two hundred and fifty taels per pot."
Xiang Anbang was so annoyed. His grandmother was really willing to spend money on him. Two hundred and fifty, what a ridiculous number, it sounded like an insult.
My grandmother usually looks quite smart, but she becomes very stupid when it comes to matters concerning gods and Buddhas.
"My dear grandson, the half-immortal said that there is a woman following you. Just drink the magic water and you will be fine."
Old Lady Xiang refused to drink anything, and Xiang Dingguo returned home dejected.
"Grandma is well."
The voice was low and lifeless, as if the soul had been sucked out of someone.
It seems a little strange that Xiang Anbang has turned over a new leaf and turned over a new leaf, but what is even stranger is Xiang Anbang. Xiang Anbang is sunny and cheerful, so when has he ever looked so decadent?
Old Lady Xiang snatched the teapot and said, "Go back and rest. It seems you don't need the magic water anymore. Your brother needs this pot of water more than you do."
Xiang Anbang was overjoyed, "Okay, you give it to big brother, let him drink more."
"Dingguo, grandma looks at you with a strange look in her eyes. Did something happen to you?"
"fine."
Xiang Dingguo prepared a banquet and invited Princess Zhaoyang to dinner, but Princess Zhaoyang stood him up. He waited for her for a whole day but she didn't show up.
A man returned home in a daze, and his grandmother came to bother him, so he rarely got angry.
"Oh, Grandma, I don't want to drink that magic water."
"But the half-immortal said..."
"If a half-immortal is so useful, why are there so many medical clinics in Kyoto? Everyone goes there to seek divination. Why do we need doctors?"
"The half-immortal can chant scriptures and communicate with gods, so don't talk nonsense."
Xiang Anbang hid in his room and recited a poem, "The woods and valleys are quiet, the water and clouds are vast, I haven't dreamed of Chang'an in ten years. The flowers are silent, the water flows in vain, and every year I am filled with sorrow for the flowers."
The servant came to report that the eldest young master had made the old lady so angry that she passed out.
Xiang Anbang hurriedly threw it down and went to resolve the family dispute.
"Look, the Xiang family will surely fall apart without me. Look how busy I am. They can't do without me."
The servant was anxious and spoke without caution, forgetting the distinction between high and low.
"Don't be so nosy, go and save them."
Xiang Anbang pointed at the servant's nose and said, "I'm giving you face. How dare a mere errand boy criticize me?"
Xiang Anbang treats his servants kindly, otherwise the servants would not be so disrespectful.
When the master and servant entered the room, they saw Old Lady Xiang, who was holding her chest and groaning.
Two people were arguing. The older one was so angry that he was out of breath, and the younger one had a circle of blisters on the back of his hand.
It is conceivable that the old lady forced Xiang Dingguo to drink the magic water. Xiang Dingguo refused to drink it, and the old lady kept nagging him. Xiang Dingguo could not bear it anymore, so he poured the boiling water on the back of his hand. The old lady was so angry and distressed that she passed away.
The maids patted the old lady's back and pinched her philtrum. At this time, the old lady looked like she had suffered a stroke, and even her mouth was crooked.
Xiang Anbang took care of the household chores, gathered people, and ordered someone to invite a doctor. Xiang Dingguo's injury was only a superficial wound, which was easy to treat, and he was young, so the wound healed quickly.
The old lady's injury was difficult to treat. She had a stroke and was old. The famous doctors in Kyoto were just trying to ruin their reputations, so they all hid away and refused to see her in person. Instead, they sent some second-rate doctors under them to prescribe medicine, while they themselves hid behind the scenes.
When the news reached Sanfei College, Miss Mo found another lecturer, Miss Su, who was quite knowledgeable in medicine. Miss Su was good at acupuncture and could set bones and dredge meridians. She had treated many elderly people who had suffered strokes.
Miss Su was led by Miss Mo to the Xiang Mansion to treat the injuries of Old Madam Xiang.
The two chatted along the way, and Miss Mo said, "The Xiang family has tortured you so much, why did you ask me to rescue them? Be careful, or you will be locked up by Xiang Anbang after entering the Xiang Mansion."
"No, he has changed."
Miss Su didn't know why Miss Mo was so sure, but when she saw Xiang Anbang, she realized that Xiang Anbang had really changed.
It's like being reborn, like being reborn.
The two walked to the gate of Xiang's mansion. When the servant saw Miss Mo, he went in happily to report the news. Xiang Anbang sent a maid out to greet her. When the two sides met, they were surrounded by maids and servants, and there was no violation of the rules.
Miss Su first bandaged Xiang Dingguo, and then gave acupuncture to Old Lady Xiang. When Old Lady Xiang saw Miss Mo, she kept yelling at her, making a "hum hum" sound from her mouth.
Miss Mo stood in front of her and looked at her quietly.
Miss Su wanted to vent her friend's anger, so she pricked her friend's sore spot with a needle. Old Lady Xiang was sweating profusely in pain and fainted soon after.
The needle in Miss Mo's hand is like the sword in the hand of a swordsman. Her needle and she have become one. It can not only save people, but also kill people. From the moment Miss Su left home, it has been Miss Su who has been protecting Miss Mo. Otherwise, the bandits along the way and the bandits near the pipeline would have kidnapped Miss Su long ago.
The needle in Miss Su's hand is her livelihood and also her weapon of self-defense.
Miss Su took out a needle bag, which was filled with 108 needles of different lengths. She was sure that if Xiang Anbang behaved in the slightest way, she would immediately prick him like a hornet's nest.
However, Xiang Anbang sat quietly without any unnecessary movements.
Miss Su suddenly realized that Miss Mo was right and Xiang Anbang had really changed.
When Princess Zhaoyang heard that Su Mo and the other girl had come to Xiang's house, she was worried that they would be bullied, so she rushed over in a hurry.
As soon as Princess Zhaoyang appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the two brothers of the Xiang family.
