Chapter 400 If I give her some silver, will she teach me?
Li Rong had a rugged appearance, with strong facial features, thick, slightly upturned eyebrows, and a wild, almost sinister air. His long, narrow eyes seemed to possess a magical power; a single glance felt as if one's heart was being pierced through. Yet, his blinks were unhurried and deliberate, conveying an indescribable sense of composure. In short, he possessed an imposing presence that made him someone not to be trifled with.
Even his pale complexion did not diminish his imposing presence. He turned his head to listen attentively, then nodded slightly to himself: "Hmm."
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow. Did they hear everything?
Li Rong cracked open a pine nut, placed the kernel in the bowl, turned slightly to look at her, and said in a hoarse voice with a hint of gentleness, "Anuan, don't worry, I have a plan. I will bring the things within two months."
Jiang Nuanzhi was strangely calmed down by his words. She then smiled and said, "You should take care of yourself first."
Li Rong was taken aback, his gaze falling on Jiang Nuanzhi's slightly curved lips before shifting away: "Don't worry, Nuanzhi, I just took my medicine. I felt fine, so I came to find you. I won't let anything happen to me."
Nothing can happen to us.
Li Rong was slightly lost in thought, staring down at the pine nut kernel. With a snap, he broke it open again.
"Huh?" Jiang Nuanzhi was startled: "There are clips here."
But then, Li Rong squeezed the small pine nut in his hand and it popped open, revealing the whole kernel. He didn't seem to notice anything different, and then said in confusion, "Slow down with the tongs, the kernel is fragile. I'll be faster this way."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at it strangely, then looked at the small mountain walnuts placed to the side.
These small walnuts are quite difficult to peel; sometimes even crackers can't open them, and you have to use a hammer to smash them open. Then the kernels all crumble. As if possessed, I simply gave him the walnut.
Li Rong seemed a little confused. He took the food, broke it open, and offered it to Jiang Nuanzhi, tentatively asking, "Does Nuanzhi want some?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head, and the next second, she immediately squatted down, grabbed his arm, and took his pulse.
The poison has no cure.
The pulse is still weaker than before.
My mind is still uneasy.
There are still signs that the old illness may recur.
Looking again at Li Rong's eyebrows and eyes, and then at the walnut kernel he was holding in his hand, did this seem right?
How can someone with such a broken body be so energetic and act like nothing's wrong?
Li Rong stared at the person squatting in front of him, seemingly stunned for a moment. At that time, he was sitting on a chair, his wrist was held by her, and she was squatting down on his knees. He could smell the cool, medicinal scent on her body so close that he was momentarily breathless.
"Waiter, come and take my pulse."
Jiang Nuanzhi, seemingly skeptical, pulled out Xiao Er and made him touch her.
The little boy nervously reached out his hands, then his brows furrowed tightly, and soon his eyes reddened: "Mother...I...I..."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "How is it?"
Little Er: "Waaaa, Mother, I haven't learned pulse diagnosis yet."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
I forgot about that.
"If you haven't learned it, you haven't learned it. Why are you crying? You're going to scare your father. Remember what your mother taught you: the first lesson for a doctor is to keep his emotions in check."
The young man nodded hurriedly, "Mother, I understand."
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and peel it."
Jiang Nuanzhi then glanced at Li Rong, and then patted Xiao Er's head: "Hurry up, use a powerful fire."
Li Rong was taken aback, watching them get busy like this. He then lowered his head and began peeling walnuts as well.
"Terrible, absolutely terrifying." Yu Chuan, who was outside the kitchen, saw this scene and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "Doctor Jiang dares to order even the general around."
"Amazing, absolutely amazing!" The little princess held the bowl, her eyes shining brightly. "This is exactly what I wanted! To have the God of War, Li Rong, treated like a servant. Just thinking about it makes me smile in my dreams. She is truly a heroine among women."
After saying that, she nudged Yu Chuan with her arm and said, "Do you think she'll teach me if I give her some money?"
Yu Chuan's lips twitched slightly. Looking into his master's clear eyes, he said softly, "Teach you? Master, have you forgotten something important?"
Princess: "Huh?"
Yuchuan: "."
What do you want to learn?
"Of course, I'll learn her techniques."
What happens after you finish learning?
"After I finish learning, I will also treat the God of War as my servant."
"."
"My lord, judging from the current situation, the general already belongs to Physician Jiang."
"Huh?" The little princess's eyes widened. "No, the general wants to marry me. Once I learn the moves, I'll snatch him away!" Although the three of them could live happily together, she absolutely couldn't be the youngest!
The general must marry into the family. No, Doctor Jiang must accompany him too!
Yu Chuan: "Master, if you snatched it, doesn't that mean there's something wrong with the method you learned? And that Doctor Jiang could take it back?"
The young princess: "Huh?"
Yuchuan: "."
Besides, who would teach another woman how to steal their husband? That's just foolish.
Of course, she dared not say that.
"Who said this thing can only be used on the general? I'll just use it on Physician Jiang. I don't believe it. If Physician Jiang submits to me, and the general treats her like this, won't she obey my orders?"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Yu Chuan and said, "You're still a novice."
Having overheard a bit, Chen Shu immediately returned: "Master, I've found out."
Chi Heng narrowed her eyes slightly: "What did you say? Are you trying to harm your sister-in-law? I can tell from her sinister smile that these women in the capital are indeed full of scheming and secrets in the inner quarters."
Chen Shu's face contorted in pain: "Master, you're wrong. Well, how should I put it? Anyway, it wasn't about secretly harming Physician Jiang. The princess wants the general... well, she also wants Physician Jiang."
Chi Heng was stunned for a moment, then seemed to laugh in exasperation: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Chen Shu thought about it carefully: "Yes! Master, that's exactly it!"
Chi Heng: "."
"Go stand outside as punishment and don't come back for at least half an hour."
That bastard Chen Shu is getting more and more outrageous.
Chen Shu: "Master, I'm innocent."
"roll!"
Chen Shu outside looked at the snow falling all around and let out a soft sigh.
Enraged, he crouched down and wrote a large character for "injustice" on the ground. Then he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply.
"Mother, the dumplings are all wrapped. I put two copper coins in them. Shall we cook them now?" Ping'er came into the kitchen carrying a lid for the dumplings.
The water in the pot was already boiling vigorously. Jiang Nuanzhi took the pot and cooked all the dumplings in one go.
"Go set off firecrackers, the dumplings are ready."
Amidst the swirling mist, Jiang Nuanzhi scooped the cooked dumplings out of the pot and greeted the people outside with a smile.
Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, the red broth in the copper pot bubbled and boiled, and plates of plump, round dumplings were brought out and placed on the table. The meal filled two large tables to the brim.
Jiang Nuanzhi sat at the table, drank a cup of apricot wine, and subconsciously turned to look at the charred floor, the windows covered with patches of paint, and the disheveled and disheveled people who hadn't had time to clean up. She couldn't help but smile.
The first New Year's Eve here turned out alright, without any major incidents. Everyone got through it safely. She could say she'd won her first battle, right? She subconsciously glanced at the children.
