The Yang family members looked at Doctor Sikong with complicated expressions.
The divine physician Sikong himself also had rather complicated feelings.
More than 20 years ago, when he went to treat the Duke of Zhenguo, he met Yang Sizong once.
At that time, Yang Sizong was the Grand Tutor, and Fu Lang, who had just been appointed as the General Who Protects the Nation, was like two powerful figures in the court, one a civil official and the other a military commander.
Yang Sizong naturally wanted to visit Fu Lang, who was seriously injured.
Later, the divine physician Sikong temporarily resided in the Zhenguo General's Mansion to treat Fu Lang.
Madam Yang and Madam Fu were close friends. Moreover, Yang Ji was a deputy general under the Duke of Zhenguo at the time. Therefore, the Yang family also met the Divine Physician Sikong during a visit.
An eerie silence fell over the air.
The Yang family was wondering why Doctor Sikong was there, while Doctor Sikong was wondering how the Yang family ended up there.
As the Grand Tutor, Yang Sizong shouldn't be retiring to this place.
And this little dumpling... is she the great-granddaughter of Grand Tutor Yang?
The divine physician Sikong discovered that ever since he met this little dumpling, the things happening around him had become increasingly strange.
It must be because he's been traveling the world and ignoring international affairs for too long.
Lili looked left and right, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
The Yang family members exchanged bewildered glances, and finally Yang Ji chuckled and smoothed things over: "Oh, Physician Sikong! I've heard of Physician Sikong's superb medical skills, but my leg... well, it's been injured for over twenty years..."
With Yang Ji's interruption, the Yang family members tacitly refrained from revealing those past events.
After a few seconds of reaction, the divine physician Sikong said, "The doctor can revive the dead and heal the bones; whether he can be saved remains to be seen."
Yang Ji knew that Physician Sikong was renowned for his superb medical skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to save Fu Lang, who had been beyond the capabilities of the entire Imperial Medical Academy.
He naturally hoped his leg would heal, but after so many years, he had given up hope.
Back then, so many doctors couldn't help, and they couldn't find the miraculous healer, Sikong. Now, even if a god came, he couldn't do anything, could he?
The Yang family remained silent.
Lili noticed something was wrong.
Why are these people exchanging flirtatious glances?
Lili stared at this and looked at that, finding it increasingly strange.
Why do I feel like they aren't surprised at all?
Did they already know that this was the Divine Physician Sikong?
Doctor Sikong smiled. Since it was Lili who had asked him to do it, he would naturally do it.
The divine physician Sikong said, "Stubborn illnesses can still be cured. I see that your leg injury is caused by external injury, right? External injuries are better than internal injuries. If you were poisoned and that's why you're lame, then there's nothing I can do."
A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the Yang family members.
If possible, who wouldn't want to cure Yang Ji's leg?
The person in the Yang family who felt the most guilty was Old Master Yang.
If it weren't for him, his son wouldn't have ended up with a limp.
Old Master Yang didn't care how Lili knew Doctor Sikong, and immediately said, "Can it really be cured? If it can be cured, my Yang family is willing to pay any amount of money!"
Physician Sikong waved his hand: "No need. Lili saved me, this is my way of repaying her."
The Yang family was extremely excited, because this meant that it really could be cured!
Yang Ji was so excited he almost cried, but Guo Shi suppressed her joy and urged everyone to eat first.
During the meal, apart from Shen Jiahao, who didn't notice anything amiss and was focused on eating, everyone else had their own thoughts.
Yang Ji and Guo Shi were overjoyed, while Old Master Yang and Old Madam Yang were deep in thought.
There's also Pear, who has the most hidden thoughts.
Pear was eating steamed egg, but something just didn't feel right.
Something's not right, something's not right, something's definitely not right.
The legendary physician Sikong has been traveling the world for years, and perhaps he has treated some illustrious figure.
Given that Mr. Yang's identity is extraordinary, it's not surprising that they might have met before.
Lili had a sudden inspiration.
This might be a good opportunity to learn the true identity of her mysterious great-grandfather.
Grandpa Yang's charisma and the walls covered with books captivated Lili, making her eager to possess him.
What exactly is his/her identity?
When Guo saw that Lili was eating slowly, she assumed that the food was not to her liking.
Lili shook her head: "No, Grandma, it's delicious!"
Guo smiled and said, "That's good. Your mother's cooking is better than your grandmother's. I was worried you wouldn't eat well."
“How could that be?” Lili asked casually. “Lili thinks Grandma’s cooking is just as good as Mother’s, and it’s just right for Lili’s taste. Plus, Lili thinks it’s a bit different from the cuisine of Nanlin County. Mother said she learned how to cook from Grandma, so did Grandma learn from Great-Grandma?”
Guo thought for a moment. Her cooking skills were learned from the family cook when she was young, so they naturally had a unique flavor from the capital.
Even though she has lived in Nanlin County for so many years and gotten used to the local tastes, she still retains some of the flavors of Beijing cuisine when she cooks.
Yang learned her cooking skills from her, so they are naturally similar.
Madam Guo smiled and said, "When I was little, I learned cooking from chefs in the capital, so my cooking naturally has some of the flavor of the capital. Does Lili think Beijing cuisine is better, or is the cuisine of Nanlin County better?"
Lili exclaimed in surprise, mouth agape, "Food from the capital? That's amazing! Lili thinks it's all delicious, anything Grandma and Mom make is delicious!"
Guo was so amused by her that she couldn't stop smiling and was very happy.
The people around him smiled slightly.
The eerie atmosphere had finally dissipated somewhat.
Lili also got a little bit of useful information. The capital city is indeed a place where wealth and luxury are dazzling.
It seems that the Yang family members are either wealthy or powerful people in the capital.
This made Lili even more curious.
She felt that the Yang family should belong to the latter category.
After all, both Grandpa Yang and Madam Guo possess a kind of charisma that emanates from within.
Hmm, Lili boldly guesses, it should be a civil official.
Yes, it must be someone with a very high status.
Perhaps it was because of his high status that he attracted some trouble, which led to Yang Ji's leg injury.
Lili was engrossed in her thoughts when Grandpa Yang asked, "How did your father do on the exam?"
He still had high hopes for his grandson-in-law, but in previous years his luck had been so bad that Yang Sizong began to doubt whether he was destined to take the imperial examination.
Fortunately, this time we didn't hear news of Shen Laosan's accident on his way to the exam. Instead, we heard that Shen Laosan had topped the list in the actual exam.
Grandpa Yang was still very pleased.
In particular, since Old Master Yang himself had gone through the imperial examinations, he naturally knew what it meant to be at the top of the list.
The fact that Shen Laosan was able to get first place in the official examination clearly demonstrates his ability, which is basically equivalent to Shen Laosan having already obtained half of the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations).
Madam Yang understood the old man's relief and said, "Don't you trust Sanlang's abilities? He was just unlucky before, but now his luck has finally turned around, and he definitely won't be going on a business trip."
