The Ning family dinner was peaceful and joyful.

The courtyard was already filled with lanterns, with maids and servants moving around. Two banquet tables were set up in the main hall, and Ning Yan's wives, concubines, and children were sitting around chatting and laughing.

"Tenth brother did not celebrate the festival in the capital last year." Ning Shiyi said, raising his glass to Ning Yunzhao.

Ning Yunzhao picked it up with a smile.

"The fifteenth in Yangcheng is also very lively, right?" asked the cousin next to me curiously.

They go back to their hometown almost every year, but it is always during Chinese New Year or their grandmother's birthday, and they rarely go on August 15th.

"It's lively." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "Small towns have their own liveliness."

A cousin next to me burst out laughing.

"I don't know about other times, but last year on August 15th, Brother Ten must have had a very lively time." She said, winking at her sisters, "He was chased by people and even wrote poems for Brother Ten."

On August 15th last year, Jun Zhenzhen was still in Yangcheng, still pursuing the Ning family for an engagement, causing a commotion in Yangcheng and causing great annoyance to the Ning family.

Ning Yan's family in Beijing also knew all these things.

The young people at the table all laughed.

"No wonder Brother Ten came back from Yangcheng in such a hurry."

"This year is good, there is no need to worry in the capital."

At this point someone exclaimed.

"No, Miss Jun is also in Beijing." The girl said, looking at Ning Yunzhao, "Tenth brother, is she pestering you again?"

Ning Shiyi, who was standing by, coughed repeatedly while holding his wine glass.

Ning Yunzhao looked amiable.

"How could that be?" he said, taking a sip of his wine.

In fact, he should be the one pestering her.

"Tenth brother is in the Imperial College, not everyone can get in." Ning Shiyi said.

Yes, not everyone can go in, and she won’t go in either, but she often comes out by herself.

Ning Yunzhao took another big sip of wine.

Despite this, the topic about Miss Jun continued.

"That Miss Jun has opened a clinic and is going to stay in the capital permanently."

"Why would a girl run to the capital to open a clinic? She has plenty of money. Maybe she is still unwilling to give up on Brother Ten."

"Brother Shi, please be careful."

"I heard it was so severe that even Imperial Doctor Jiang was scolded."

"They have an imperial decree..."

Ning Yunzhao listened to the discussions around him with a smile on his face, and drank the wine from the glass at his lips slower and slower.

"Just sit there and don't talk about other people's affairs." Ning Yan frowned and warned when he heard the hustle and bustle here.

The young people at the table here all quieted down, and the naughty girls stuck out their tongues at each other and continued to eat and drink.

I picked up the wine bottle only to find it was empty.

"Hey? Brother Shi, you drank all the wine?" a girl said in surprise, looking at Ning Yunzhao who was still holding the wine glass and drinking.

Ning Yunzhao looked at his wine glass.

"I couldn't resist the wine from my hometown," he said with a smile.

"Tenth brother misses home too." The brothers and sisters all laughed.

Ning Yunzhao also laughed and drank the rest of the wine in the glass.

"It's less than half a year until the scientific expedition, so we can't waste even a single day." Ning Yan said, "We need to exercise restraint."

Ning Yunzhao put down his wine glass and said yes, then ate his food with a smile.

The family dinner soon ended, and the cousins ​​prepared to go watch the lights. Ning Yunzhao naturally followed them, and like all the young people, they went from the south to the north of the city. When the night fell, everyone dispersed with a lingering feeling.

"I'll go back to the Imperial College directly." Ning Yunzhao said to them, "We need to prepare homework early for tomorrow."

The brothers and sisters all knew that he nodded hard to say goodbye, and the girls frowned as they watched Ning Yunzhao disappear into the night.

"Brother Ten doesn't look happy," she said.

The others uttered an audible "hmm".

"How could that be? He has always been very happy." Everyone said.

There was nothing unusual. We ate, drank, watched the lights, and guessed riddles, just like usual.

That’s true.

But when I see him smile, I always feel a little sad, but I have no concrete evidence.

The girl frowned.

"It's a woman's intuition," she said.

Ning Yunzhao stopped and looked back. At this time, he had already left the bustling Lantern Street and stood in the thick night, looking at the dazzling fairyland over there.

He looked at it silently for a moment, sighed lightly, turned around and continued walking forward into the night.

Miss Jun did not take this matter to heart. She sighed for a moment and also figured out the reason for Ning Yunzhao's several chance encounters with her. The matter was then over.

Compared to the feelings of these young men and women, the problems she has to face are more serious.

"Is there something wrong with this 10,000 taels of silver?"

Fang Jinxiu's voice echoed behind him.

Miss Jun turned around and saw her coming.

"You've been looking at it for quite a while." Fang Jinxiu said, "I've seen it, it's not fake."

Fake is naturally not fake.

Miss Jun smiled.

"The consultation fee that day was two thousand taels," she said.

What about the extra eight thousand taels? It certainly wouldn't be given for no reason. Fang Jinxiu's expression darkened.

"The extra eight thousand taels are for me to change the name of Jiulingtang." Miss Jun said, looking at Fang Jinxiu pointing at the plaque outside the door.

Fang Jinxiu was stunned.

This is a weird request...

"The person who invited me to her home for a consultation that day was the woman of Lu Qianhu, Fusi of Beizhen..." Miss Jun said. Since she had decided to be a partner, there were some things she had to tell her.

It turned out to be Lu Qianhu...or Lu Qianhu's woman.

Lu Qianhu’s wife is Princess Jiuli. Princess Jiuli certainly cannot be referred to as a woman, so the meaning of this woman is very obvious.

Fang Jinxiu's expression turned red and pale.

"Then why..." she said, and it suddenly dawned on her, "The Nine-Year-Old Princess."

It was an interesting feeling to hear others saying your name while you are actually right in front of this person but they don't know it. Miss Jun looked at Fang Jinxiu and wanted to laugh. She knew she had figured out the reason.

"I've known this name for a long time..." Fang Jinxiu said again, frowning.

When Fang Yuxiu first heard Jun Zhenzhen change her name to Jiuling at home, she said that she had the same name as Princess Jiuling.

Even though they didn't know Princess Jiuling, they still thought of Lu Qianhu first. But he was Princess Jiuling's husband and such a scary person, so it was no wonder that they cared so much about this name.

"Are you scared?" Miss Jun asked with a smile.

Fang Jinxiu glared at her.

"I didn't expect Lu Qianhu to be that scary and actually gave you money." She said, "If I beat you up, you wouldn't give me a penny."

Miss Jun laughed.

Fang Jinxiu stopped laughing and looked at the banknotes on the table.

"What are we going to do?" she asked.

Us, Miss Jun smiled.

"I don't know," she said. "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll just take it one step at a time."

As for Lu Yunqi, his behavior can no longer be speculated based on the one we are familiar with. According to everyone's description and fear, Lu Yunqi's behavior cannot be guessed, nor can it be challenged or tested. The only thing we can do is to remain still. If the enemy does not move, we will not move. If the enemy moves, we will know how to respond.

Fang Jinxiu frowned and was about to speak when there was a commotion outside the door.

"Did she say that?"

An old man's voice outside the door was filled with anger.

"Okay, then I'll ask her."

Fang Jinxiu and Miss Jun both stood up and looked at an old man with an angry face rushing in from outside the door, followed by a woman and two men, and many other people also gathered around.

"Doctor Jun, you told others that I can cure this disease? If you say I can cure it, can I cure it? If I can't cure it, will I be a sinner?" The old man's face turned red and he waved his hands and shouted, "Who do you think you are? You can just say it about yourself, why do you care about me?"

Fang Jinxiu sighed inwardly.

This was only a matter of time, ever since Miss Jun said that she would only heal herself if others couldn't.

It is really not easy to live in Beijing.
