Chapter 465 Filial Piety Towards Senior Uncle?
Sanqi blinked twice: "Of course!"
I took a deep breath and looked at the door in front of me, but my legs seemed to be out of control, and I instinctively stepped back.
He took two steps back, but found he couldn't go any further. When he turned around, he saw Eunuch Liu smilingly blocking his way.
"Master Sanqi, you've come to the wrong place. Doctor Jiang's house is right here."
Then, they simply and gently escorted Sanqi on his way.
Sanqi was pushed out by a hidden force from behind, and with a push of his hand, he slammed into the iron gate, making it vibrate loudly.
Who is it?
An old man's voice came from the courtyard. Sanqi tensed up almost instantly upon hearing it, and the next second, he turned and ran. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Gonggong had initially thought he would just treat him like an ancestor, but now he was genuinely curious about this Doctor Jiang.
Who could possibly frighten Lord Sanqi, whom almost no one in Kyoto dares to offend, to this extent?
This is the future successor of traditional Chinese medicine, the only descendant of the legendary physician Que who can inherit his mantle.
Despite his immediate curiosity, he straightened his clothes, held the box that the Sixth Prince had said he must personally hand over to Physician Jiang in his arms, a warm smile on his lips, took a deep breath, and stood respectfully at the door.
"Greetings. I am a servant of the Sixth Prince and have come here specifically to visit Physician Jiang."
After he finished speaking, there was no sound from the courtyard, and no one opened the door. Liu Gonggong was surprised and looked puzzled.
"There should be no one here."
Sanqi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Liu Gonggong.
Liu Gonggong was exasperated: "Lord Sanqi, didn't someone just ask someone a question? You didn't answer, could it be that the master is angry?"
Upon hearing the word "angry," Sanqi took a deep breath and said with a determined air, "How about we come back tomorrow? I think they might be busy today." As she spoke, she tried to run away again.
Eunuch Liu pulled him back abruptly: "Lord Sanqi, you have the imperial edict in your hand. No matter what, the Emperor's decree cannot be delayed. Have you forgotten Physician Que's instructions? Have you forgotten why we came here?"
Sanqi's eyes widened, and finally, she took a deep breath, steeled herself, and went up to knock three times. Then, she closed her eyes tightly and said, "Doctor Jiang, Sanqi has come to visit on behalf of my master."
If he gets kicked out, it's because his grandmaster's reputation isn't good enough, it has nothing to do with him, Sanqi.
However, there was still no movement in the courtyard.
What are you doing?
As the two were filled with suspicion, they suddenly heard a sound behind them. Both of them were startled and quickly turned around.
The next second, upon seeing the person behind her, Sanqi jumped three feet high, staring at Jiang Nuanzhi as if she had seen a ghost: "Dr. Jiang, you! You... how did you get so thin!??"
Jiang Nuanzhi shrugged: "What's so special about this place? Why are you here again?"
"I...I...Doctor Jiang, well, I just came to check on your health, on behalf of my master, hehehe."
Sanqi said, letting out a dry laugh.
"You must be Physician Jiang?" Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up. What a remarkable person! She was no less beautiful than the ladies of the palace. Not to mention her demeanor—truly a person of exceptional character, one in a million.
He immediately bowed respectfully: "Physician Jiang, this servant is Liu Wang from before the Sixth Prince. You may call me Eunuch Liu. This Lord Sanqi is here with the Holy... oh..."
Before Liu Gonggong could even utter the words "imperial edict," Sanqi completely covered his mouth.
Liu Gonggong was stunned. He blinked frantically, genuinely not understanding what he had said wrong.
Sanqi tossed Eunuch Liu behind him and then fawned over Jiang Nuanzhi, opening the door for her: "Um, Doctor Jiang, I'm here on my master's orders to see you. Hehe, I've brought you some really good stuff, incredibly good stuff."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at him.
These two idiots arrived at just the right time.
Although seeing this idiot always leads to some unpleasant things, the idiot has money, and more importantly, he has more medicinal herbs. Right now, if I want to develop an antidote, the little silver I have is simply not enough for me to squander; I'm currently short of both money and medicinal herbs.
Chatting with this fool a bit more and selling him a few prescriptions would be faster than treating Xie Liangchen a hundred times.
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she stuffed the two taels of silver she had just earned from Xie Liangchen into her sleeve and opened the door directly: "Please come in, both of you. Bring the carriage in as well."
Then, frowning, he said, "Old man, get down from the wall."
Sanqi and Eunuch Liu were stunned when they heard what he said next. They subconsciously looked up at the wall.
"Oh," the little old man on the top of the wall responded, and immediately directed Xinbo to carry him down.
Then, after landing, she walked up to Jiang Nuanzhi with her hands behind her back and a big smile.
"Ah Nuan is back. Ah Nuan, you've really worked hard."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at him: "You heard the noise, why didn't you come out and open the door?"
"Didn't I hear your voice?"
To prevent Anuan from continuing to scold him, the old man immediately turned his gaze to the two people who entered the room: "What are you two up to, sneaking around like this?"
Sanqi glanced at the old man and immediately became as docile as a quail, letting out a dry laugh: "Grand Preceptor, how are you feeling?"
"Didn't your grandmaster tell you to bring something as a tribute to his senior master?"
Sanqi was stunned. The Grand Preceptor was her master's senior uncle? She had never heard of that.
However, upon noticing the old man's gaze on him, Sanqi broke out in a cold sweat and immediately pulled out some silver notes from his pocket: "Please don't mind these silver notes... consider them a junior's offering to serve you tea."
The old man, looking at him with an air of smug satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, then took the stack of silver notes from his hand and stuffed them into his own pocket without a hint of guilt.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "..."
I'm still too young.
So, you can actually steal it by force?
Even though Eunuch Liu knew about this news in the capital, his heart still trembled when he saw the Grand Preceptor in person.
He took several deep breaths to calm himself down, then jogged forward and bowed: "Grand Preceptor, my name is Liu Wang, and I serve His Highness the Sixth Prince. In the future, please give me any orders you may have."
The old man glanced at him, then clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I know you! That eunuch Wang from last time, the one who put on such a grand air. We beat him up twice, and now we seem to miss him. Why didn't you send him this time?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu's expression hardened, and he suddenly knelt down: "Grand Preceptor, please calm down. Wang Fu is a foolish, arrogant, and greedy man. He actually dared to embezzle the items that His Highness gave to Physician Jiang. Now that he has angered His Highness, he has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
His Highness learned of the trouble he had caused here, which is why he sent me to apologize to you and Physician Jiang.
As he spoke, a smile played on his lips, and he presented the box in his hand to Jiang Nuanzhi: "His Highness said that these are all gifts he personally selected for Physician Jiang as an apology, and he insisted on personally delivering them to Physician Jiang."
