Chapter 636
Jizhou.
A knock came at the door, and Chen Zongwen went to open it, but quickly returned.
Seeing that Chen Zongwen was holding a long, unidentified object, Madam Chen asked in confusion, "What is that?"
Chen Zongwen deftly opened the box and took out the scroll inside.
As the scroll is unfurled, a map of the imperial city leaps off the page.
Chen Zongwen was delighted when he saw it: "Come, come, look at our son-in-law's handiwork!"
Madam Chen hurried over and peeked inside: "How come you said it was drawn by your son-in-law when you wrote the letter?"
Chen Zongwen couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Come on, you don't know Xi'er's personality. She's like she has nails stuck to her butt. She can't even sit still. How could she have such skills?"
Madam Chen's gaze fell on the painting in front of her.
This painting is full of life and exquisite in technique; no one who has not painted for many years could ever achieve this.
Looking at Chen Zongwen's face, which was full of undisguised praise, Madam Chen said helplessly, "So from the very beginning, you were only after your son-in-law's painting, weren't you?"
"Madam is indeed wise!"
Madam Chen rolled her eyes at him: "It's just a painting. Why don't you just ask directly? You've met your son-in-law before. Do you think he can refuse you?"
“That’s different,” Chen Zongwen said. “If I ask the young lady for it, the young master will take action if he can’t stand it. That’s how he protects the young lady. If I ask him directly, how can I tell if he’s protecting the young lady or not? What if he can’t be relied on in the future?”
"You can tell just from one painting?"
“Of course,” Chen Zongwen raised his chin. “Don’t worry about anything else. I think this son-in-law is indeed quite good!”
Madam Chen scoffed.
She uses all her cunning on her son-in-law.
"By the way, I heard that Young Master Xiao went to Luoyang?"
Chen Zongwen nodded.
He now drinks with Doctor Feng from time to time, and they've become quite familiar with each other, so he also knows Xiao Chengping.
“Old Feng said that the young master’s health has improved, and he also brought him the medicine. It’s fine for him to go out for a stroll,” Chen Zongwen said. “Besides, he has important business in Luoyang. Didn’t Xi’er ask him to recruit female doctors? This matter is progressing quite well now, so naturally I have to tell Xi’er about it.”
Mrs. Chen nodded.
Since the arrival of the female doctor from Yiyuantang, and with the support of the Xiao family behind the scenes, the establishment of the female doctor's clinic has progressed very smoothly.
Yunxi was the one who started this whole thing, and now it's time for him to know.
However, Madam Chen couldn't help but start to worry.
"I think that although Young Master Xiao is a bit weak, he is no ordinary person. If he goes to Luoyang, won't the son-in-law misunderstand?"
"So this is a misunderstanding?" Chen Zongwen laughed gleefully. "You still remember Lao Fang, right?"
"I remember."
"His son is still unmarried, and the old man is getting anxious. He sent people to take his son to Luoyang. Guess who they're after?"
Madam Chen twitched the corner of her mouth: "Old Fang is so old, how can he still be so heartless? Sending Xiao Fang to find Xi'er is like pushing a mouse to play with a cat."
“You can’t blame Lao Fang for this,” Chen Zongwen said. “He only has one son, and he’s the youngest in his life. It’s no wonder he’s so anxious that things haven’t settled down yet.”
Madam Chen shook her head.
Now, all we can do is wish Xiao Fang a safe journey.
