Chapter 47 Chapter 047 The Wei family is in Ming County, Qin Yuan practices martial arts, Zhang...
Of course, this was a lie! What good livestock could there be in a small place like Ming County? Cows and sheep were plentiful, but as for horses, there were only the few the ivory dealer had.
In the blink of an eye, the dentist had already taken a thorough look at Wei. Unlike the people standing behind her, Wei had the air of a wealthy family. She was not a real noble lady, but you could tell at a glance that she was a servant of a noble. The gleam in Zhou Zhengzhong's eyes was something that an ordinary woman could never fake.
Wei nodded to the ivory dealer, then came to the shed. She just looked inside for a few seconds and shook her head.
"You dentist, do you think I'm easy to fool? These horses of yours are old. What use are they to me?"
That's right, these horses in the shed are actually quite old. Although they are kept clean, it's cold now, and they are old, so they sit dejected in the shed and look listless.
"Oh! Look at what you're saying, Auntie. I'm the only one in Ming County who still has a few horses. Horses are precious, so how could I dare to raise more? If you don't like these horses being old, I still have donkeys and mules. If you don't mind, take a look."
Those who can recognize the age of a horse really have sharp eyes. The ivory dealer dare not say much and only recommends donkeys and mules. These days, except for the nobles who go out in horse-drawn carriages, ordinary people use donkey carts and mule-drawn carts. Horses are precious and it is not easy to keep them, let alone transport goods back and forth every day.
Judging from Wei's attire and the people following her, the ivory merchant assumed that this person bought horses or donkeys just to transport goods. If they were truly wealthy, they wouldn't buy any fine horses from him...
Wei nodded, looking down on the horses. Zhou Yan and Qin Shu followed beside them, followed by Qin Shu's cousins.
As they walked forward, they saw many donkeys. These donkeys were completely different from horses. Not only did they have shiny black hair and bright eyes, but they also looked full of energy. You could tell at a glance that they were newly-adult donkeys, at the peak of their strength.
Donkeys and mules both have a lifespan of more than 20 years. If they are well cared for and work harder than a human, they are actually more expensive than cows.
"How much does this donkey cost?"
Wei took a fancy to a donkey, and the ivory dealer immediately broke into a smile.
"This one costs seven taels of silver. Look, ma'am, it's just grown up, and it's at the right age to work. I've taken good care of it, and its hooves are well trimmed. Look at its legs, they're thick and strong. If you buy it, it'll be a great helper, whether it's carrying goods or doing work."
The ivory dealer hurried into the shed and directly led out the donkey that Wei liked. The donkey was very obedient.
"Also, the donkeys and mules I have are the most docile and will not hurt anyone."
Qin Shu, standing by, was already staring with his eyes fixed on the scene. As a farmer, how could he not like livestock? The tiger at home didn't count; it was a ferocious beast, but the donkey and the mule were both capable of doing work for the family. Qin Shu couldn't help but walk over and touch the donkey. He felt its body was hot and its eyes were gentle. It was indeed a good-tempered animal, not resisting being touched by a stranger.
The other men also came to see the donkey's condition, but Wei had already switched to another donkey to ask.
"What about the other end?"
The dentist raised his hand.
"That one is cheaper, six taels of silver, and it's smaller."
Zhou Yan also observed the donkeys carefully, intending to see if he could bargain later. The Wei family came to Ming County to purchase items, so they carefully selected from these donkeys, and after asking Qin Shu, they decided on five donkeys and five mules.
Mules are the offspring of horses and donkeys. They must have been bred by the veterinarian because he couldn't sell his horses. Mules are good at working but cannot reproduce, so their price is not that high.
In the end, Wei and Zhou Yan bargained together and got the item at a suitable price, which made the dentist look distressed.
"I can only offer you this kind of price in winter. I wouldn't agree to it in summer or spring. Auntie, since you're buying a donkey, do you still need a donkey cart? I have one here, and it's reasonably priced. Do you think you need one? You can just harness it and go."
This donkey cart is mostly made of wood, and in fact, the Qin family can also make it. After hearing this, Qin Shu instinctively wanted to refuse, but his wife Zhou Yan pulled his arm, and he finally didn't say much.
Wei nodded. After all, she had to bring a lot of things back today, and she had to do everything the girl asked her to do.
"Yes, let's take a look."
From this perspective, the donkey carts sold by the tooth merchant are indeed good, with exquisite workmanship and no wood splinters to the touch. They are a little expensive, costing one or two taels of silver. Naturally, Wei wanted all of them and bought up all the donkey carts stored by the tooth merchant.
The ivory merchant was really grinning this time, and hurriedly brought his men to harness all the donkey carts. Fortunately, many people came this time. In addition to Zhou Yan and Qin Shu, there were five of Qin Shu's cousins alone. Now everyone had a donkey cart, and there were a few more, but Wei had other arrangements.
"There's a pawnshop up ahead, and they'd like to buy a few servants."
This is where livestock are sold, and people are considered livestock and are in another place.
When the dentist heard this, he immediately recommended his uncle.
"My uncle is a human trafficker. I'll take you there and I guarantee you'll find the right person or animal."
Human life is worthless these days. There will be many poor people selling themselves in the pawnshop before winter comes. Only by finding a master for these people can they survive.
"Lead the way."
It was also the first time for Wei to come to Ming County, and she was not familiar with the way. Zhou Yan and Qin Shu had naturally never been to the pawnshop in the East Market either. They walked through the livestock market, and when they reached the innermost part, they saw a large area with a huge red word "Pawnshop" written on it. This was where people and livestock were sold.
There was someone guarding outside, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately stood up.
"Brother Fang! Why did you bring people here?"
He is very enthusiastic and is known as Brother Fang's dentistry expert.
"My uncle is in there, right? He's got business!"
Maybe it’s a big business!
"Yes, Boss Fang is here! I'll let you in right away, and all the distinguished guests, please come in!!!"
When Wei and others walked in, they smelled a strange smell. Zhou Yan couldn't help but frown, but didn't say anything. Then he saw a house built like a cage after entering the door. Through these cages, he could see people and animals in disheveled clothes huddled together inside.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, then Qin Shu hugged her and patted her shoulders soothingly.
Wei had long been accustomed to seeing these things. In the past five years outside, she had seen many dead people. If she could sell her body and survive, she would be very lucky.
When everyone walked in, they were met by a middle-aged man with a long beard. When the man came over, the dentist quickly introduced him.
"Uncle, this is Aunt Wei. She bought five donkeys and five mules from me and is planning to hire some servants. Uncle, you must treat her well!"
This is a wealthy family! The dentist hinted, and Boss Fang certainly understood what his nephew meant, and quickly looked at Wei with a smile.
"Auntie Wei, we have all kinds of servants in our business. What kind of servants do you want? I promise to find them all for you."
Wei was welcomed in and then sat on a chair. Zhou Yan and Qin Shu did the same. However, in a place like this, no one was in the mood to drink tea, so Wei directly stated her request.
"We're looking for skilled cooks who can cook. They shouldn't be too old or too young. We need four cooks."
"We also need ten maids to do the rough work. They should be smart and have a skill. They should be young and have good looks."
As for the men who do the rough work at home, when Qu Bu comes over, there will be no need for these outsiders.
This time they came here to buy people, they were just looking for people to clean the house. After hearing what Wei said, Boss Fang already had a plan in mind.
This young girl in her prime is the most valuable, especially one with a special skill. He immediately told the servant beside him some names, and that person immediately went to make the arrangements.
After a while, a series of people tied with ropes were pulled up. Zhou Yan felt sorry for this scene and turned away, but Boss Fang saw it and sighed.
"These people are pitiful. Although we are all in the human and animal trade, most of them are sold to us by families who can't afford to eat, or they are sold by the whole family themselves. The people and animals I send out have never been reported to end up in those brothels. I don't do such conscienceless things..."
He asked these people to look up, and sure enough, they all looked pale and thin, and had no energy.
Boss Fang introduced these girls one by one. Most of them were sold here because their families could not afford to eat. Some could cook, some could clean up well, and some could make clothes. In short, Boss Fang really wanted to sell these people.
Wei looked at these people one by one and saw that none of them were cunning, so she selected ten girls from among them and took them back home to do rough work, and the others were to be cooks.
There were several cooks who could cook. Wei originally chose one, but that person suddenly fell to his knees.
"Please, please buy my daughter as well! My daughter is very capable! Although she is small, she is very strong and can do a lot of rough work! She eats a lot, but I can go without meals. I will give all my meals to my daughter..."
The woman knelt on the ground and began to kowtow. Wei was stunned for a moment and looked at Boss Fang beside her.
"This woman's name is Qiu Niang. She's from Ming County. She used to run a small snack shop and was doing OK. But her husband is a gambler, and he's so addicted to gambling that he's in debt. So he sold Qiu Niang and her daughter, Pan Di, to me. Her daughter is quite strong and can do manual labor. If Aunt Wei wants to buy them both, the price is negotiable."
This boss Fang was really soft-hearted. Mrs. Wei didn't say anything, but Zhou Yan, who was standing by, heard the word "Pandi" and grabbed her husband's sleeve, interrupting Mrs. Wei's actions for the first time.
"Buy them. Buy both the mother and the daughter."
Her throat was hoarse, and Qin Shu understood what his wife meant and looked at Wei.
"Let's buy them all."
Wei naturally would not object to the two's opinion and nodded immediately.
"Then buy them all and listen to Erlang and the Second Madam."
Only then did Boss Fang look at Zhou Yan who was protected by Qin Shu in surprise. He never expected that these two were the masters of the family. For a moment he didn't know what to say.
But there was no need to say anything afterwards. After selecting the servant, Wei bargained skillfully, bought the person, placed him on a donkey cart, and then went to the county government office to handle the contract of sale.
Qin Shu was driving the donkey cart, Zhou Yan was sitting in the back, and in front of her was the mother and daughter.
The woman's name is Qiu Niang, and her daughter is only eight years old. She is dark-skinned and very strong, Zhou Yan suddenly said.
"Let me change your name."
When Qiu Niang heard this, she thought it was herself and said timidly.
"Please give me a name, Madam."
She knew that the other party was the Madam, and she felt uneasy at the moment, but she believed that the Second Madam was a good person, otherwise she would not have offered to buy her and her daughter.
"I'm talking about your daughter. Pan Di is not a good name. From now on, you should call her Meihua."
Zhou Yan hasn't formally learned calligraphy yet, and she can't think of a good name, but she feels uncomfortable when she hears the name Pan Di, thinking of her elder sister-in-law... After her elder sister-in-law married into the Qin family, she no longer has her natal family. If her elder sister-in-law were here today, she would also feel soft-hearted, right?
"I thank Second Madam for the name on behalf of Meihua."
Qiu Niang quickly thanked her on behalf of her daughter. Meihua was also smart and spoke in her mother's arms.
"Thank you, Madam, for the name. From now on, I will be called Plum Blossom."
They had been taught by the traffickers, so they naturally knew how to be servants. If they were sold to a wealthy family, they would at least have food to eat and could live a good life...
Wei didn't know about these things. She arrived at the yamen soon and saw Butler Zhang standing at the door of the yamen from a distance. There was a familiar figure beside him.
As soon as Wei got out of the car, two little girls rushed over. They were her two adopted daughters.
"mother!"
"mother!"
"Okay, mother is here. Don't be afraid, you two. I'm taking you back to see the girl today. The girl is the best person."
She hugged the two girls and looked up, and saw four young men in shorts. These four were Lu Qing's apprentices. Although they were called apprentices, they were actually adopted sons. They were all poor people who were left alone outside when their families were broken up. Lu Qing rescued them and kept them by his side for several years, and they developed feelings for them.
"Ming, your father is waiting for you in the village. Just follow me later."
Wang Ming, who was named, nodded towards his adoptive mother. He had always been taciturn, and the destruction of his family had taken away all his expressions.
The other three young men also had solemn expressions, which were somewhat similar to Lu Qing.
Butler Zhang handed the person over to Wei, and then learned that Wei was going to the yamen to process the indenture, he took the initiative to lead everyone into the yamen. Soon the indenture was processed. There was also a letter, and he asked Butler Zhang to arrange for someone to deliver it to Yizhou.
After finishing all that, the Wei family still had a lot of things to buy. Fortunately, Butler Zhang was there to help with everything, making introductions along the way, saving Zhou Yan and the Wei family a lot of trouble. Zhou Yan also took everything she had seen today to heart. In the end, not only were their donkey carts piled high with goods and people, but the shops also needed donkey carts to transport their goods back to the Qin family...
Qin Yuan had no idea that the shopping trip to Ming County was so lively. She was so excited about learning martial arts yesterday that she got up early the next morning.
The other members of the Qin family were in a similar situation. Seeing that all the men in the Qin family were practicing martial arts, Lu Qing arranged for everyone to stand in the yard and began the initial physical training of martial arts, the first step - horse stance!
Make a horse stance, let everyone learn it, and then slowly adjust it for everyone. It is very cold in the early morning of winter, but that's how martial arts are practiced. You have to practice in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter. Those who can't persist are not suitable for martial arts.
Except for Qin Shu who went out with him, Qin Dali had to go to the Baiyuzhi workshop to work, so everyone else in the family followed him and did horse stance.
Qin Yuan was not outside. Because she was young, she was doing horse stance in the house. Beside her were Qin Yue and Qin Feng'er. Although they were not interested in martial arts, since their younger sister wanted to learn, they discussed last night that they could not let their younger sister get tired alone and they had to accompany her.
There were three people in the room squatting in horse stance, and Lu Qing had already adjusted their posture. He took out a stick from somewhere, and looked particularly serious when acting as a master, which made people a little scared.
Morning exercises before breakfast require standing in horse stance for an hour. A five-year-old like Qin Yuan certainly cannot persist. After a while, Lu Qing would arrange for Qin Yuan, Qin Yue and Qin Feng'er to massage each other's muscles and bones. Xie Ya'er did not check the account book, but accompanied her daughter to practice martial arts for the first time and massaged her daughter's sore body.
But they still had to persist, except for the need to rest and massage their muscles and bones to relax in the middle. In the end, Qin Yuan, Qin Yue and Qin Feng'er actually persisted for an hour, which was two hours!
Qin Yuan even wondered how she had managed to persevere. Could it be that the five-year-old self was... gifted???
She had no doubt that eating tiger meat yesterday was good for her health; she just thought she had a talent for martial arts.
Everyone stood in horse stance for an hour. This was not the end, but the beginning. When they had breakfast, everyone felt tired and sore all over, but they ate a lot. Unfortunately, Lu Qing had to control everyone's food intake. After eating, they needed to continue practicing!
Qin Yuan was also in great pain, but when she thought about herself as a potentially unparalleled master, the pain faded. After breakfast, she continued practicing! But this time, it wasn't horse stance anymore; it was wall stance. It was said that this practice trained and adjusted the body's cleverness, requiring one to stand on tiptoe with their back pressed against the wall, maintaining this position for at least an hour...
This time everyone was in the room. The others stood on tiptoe, but Qin Yuan didn't need to do that because she was young. She just stood against the wall. Even so, she was very tired, which reminded Qin Yuan of standing at attention.
This is how martial arts training works, it's impossible to reach the highest level overnight. After standing against the wall, it's flexibility training, which is probably similar to modern back and bone exercises. Anyway, except for Qin Yuan, Qin Yue and Qin Feng'er who are naturally flexible, everyone else... Qin Yuan knew it was painful when she heard the groan.
However, during this process, Lu Qing also went to the west room to select herbs, and had them boiled in the kitchen, and then supervised everyone to continue practicing.
Qin Yuan broke out in a sweat, a rare sight in winter. Sweat trickled down her hair, but the feeling of being able to control her own body made her feel very comfortable. She felt that she must train well, as martial arts skills were very important!!!
Xie Yaer stayed with her daughter the whole day today. Seeing her daughter suffering so much, yet still persisting, she felt both distressed and proud. When she was learning to play the piano with her master, her hands were covered in blood, and her hands also had calluses from practicing calligraphy over time. It would be great if her daughter could really learn some self-defense martial arts.
Liu Chunhua was in a similar situation. She walked back and forth between the kitchen and Qin Yuan. As for her son and grandson, she felt that men were born to suffer this kind of suffering and practice martial arts to protect themselves and their families. But when she saw her three granddaughters covered in sweat and their faces turned ferocious because of practicing martial arts, she felt so distressed and wanted to stop them. But Youyou always did what she said, so she didn't dare to stop them. She could only boil water in the kitchen. Lu Qing told her to take a medicinal bath in the evening.
For some reason, this day should have been very long, but it passed very quickly. During the continuous training, Qin Yuan heard that her mother's wet nurse Wei had returned, as well as her second aunt and second uncle. Of course, their training was not over yet. When everyone was taking a break, everyone drank a bowl of bitter medicine. No one knew what the medicine was, but after drinking it, they were no longer tired, which made Qin Yuan and others work harder.
While Qin Yuan was busy practicing martial arts, she didn't know that the first batch of white jade fat had already been produced at the white jade fat workshop. The people from the Jin family caravan had already sent people over. After getting the first batch of white jade fat, they took the white jade fat back to Zhang Mansion in Ming County.
Before dinner, the white jade fat was sent to the kitchen, along with the white jade fat recipe that Jin Kui had brought out, which was also brought out by Xie Yaer.
At dinner time, Jin Kui, the brother-in-law, sat opposite his brother-in-law. Next to Jin Wan were his daughter and son. After his son recovered, he was in good health, but Jin Wan no longer allowed his son to go out and play, for fear that something might happen again.
"Brother-in-law! Today's meal has a unique flavor. I have arranged for someone to deliver it to your home. Auntie likes soft and crispy food the most. This white jade fat melts in your mouth. I'm sure you will like it very much."
The aunt that Jin Kui mentioned was actually the widowed mother of County Magistrate Zhang. Ever since County Magistrate Zhang asked for Jin's daughter to marry for his widowed mother, Jin had finally managed to get close to Zhang by using the name of filial piety. Now that County Magistrate Zhang is working outside, his mother is too old to accompany him, so she lives next door to the Jin family. Although they are called neighbors, in fact all the servants in the mansion are Jin's people, and she is treated as an old lady by the Jin family.
"I received a letter from my mother a few days ago, and learned that she's in good health. I'm sure my father-in-law and brother have put a lot of thought into it. A glass of wine is just a token of my respect!"
Zhang Heng was not polite to his wife's brother. He had been accustomed to the fickleness of human nature since he was a child. Everyone in his wife's family was kind to him, including his mother, who had saved his life. Zhang Heng would not put on airs in front of his wife's brother, but was very affectionate.
"Hehe, then I'll drink first, brother-in-law!" Jin Kui was happy! He had such a brother-in-law, who could walk sideways when he was on the business road. In the past, his father was always embarrassed when he was doing business. Now with the name of the Zhang family, their Jin family has long been extraordinary, and now they have connected with the Xie family...
The two of them drank together, and then looked at the dishes on the low table. Today the table was filled with a feast of white jade fat, with all kinds of dishes with great color, aroma and taste, all of which even Lord Zhang Heng had never seen before.
Not to mention Zhang Heng, even Jin Wan had never seen it before. She brought her daughter and son to taste this so-called white jade fat out of curiosity.
There are not many vegetables to choose from in winter, and places like Ming County are not as good as other places. Jin Wan put the white jade fat into her mouth, and the melt-in-the-mouth texture instantly conquered her, and she immediately realized the value of this thing.
The ones who really have trouble in winter are not the young nobles, but the old nobles. Even her father and mother have bad teeth. If they have this white jade fat, even if they add a few more dishes, it can have the effect of prolonging life.
"This young lady is indeed extraordinary."
She sighed. County Magistrate Zhang, who was standing beside her, had already tasted the white jade fat and knew that it would definitely bring considerable benefits to the Jin family. However, he thought of the letters he had read in the past two days and couldn't help laughing.
"Sister, I've already written to father about this white jade fat. This thing was developed by the young lady to show her filial piety to her parents. Now we just need to give it away. I'm sure each family will be willing to taste it."
As for the price... it's all out of filial piety, and there are people who would buy it even if it's worth a fortune.
Jin Kui knew that it was not easy to transport the white jade fat, so he did not plan to sell it at a low price from the beginning, nor did he plan to sell it in his own restaurant. Instead, he planned to recommend it directly to major families and sell the white jade fat directly, so that he could maximize the profits.
"Yes, of course." Jin Wan nodded, knowing that her brother was smart and would not interfere in the family business.
Magistrate Zhang, who was standing by, laughed at the brother and sister's tacit understanding, which attracted their attention. Even his daughter and son looked at Magistrate Zhang.
After he finished laughing, he was still in high spirits.
"Brother, this white jade fat is a blessing from the young lady. Two days ago, the Zhang family sent a letter saying that the head of the Xie family in the capital personally presented bean sprouts to Your Majesty. Your Majesty ate them to express his gratitude to the young lady Xie for her father's love. He has already issued an order for her father to return from exile. I'm afraid that my position as county magistrate will be relocated soon."
This matter shouldn't have been mentioned in advance, but now that Bai Yuzhi has appeared, County Magistrate Zhang knows even more. He's afraid that all this has long been part of the young lady's plan. If Xie Gong returns from exile and doesn't return to the capital, he will probably be sent to Ming County...
Of course, this was just speculation. County Magistrate Zhang recalled the bean sprouts he had eaten before. Even the emperor loved them. If only he had a recipe...
"Bean sprouts? But that's what I ate at the Qin family?"
Jin Kui instantly thought of Douya, and then belatedly wanted to stand up and congratulate his brother-in-law, but County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand.
"Don't make it public. I wanted to tell the young lady about this in person. In that case, you should go to the Qin family tomorrow, meet the young lady, and tell her in person that Mr. Xie has returned."
I believe that the young lady will definitely give some benefits to my wife's brother-in-law because of this matter.
"Yes! Brother-in-law, I will definitely visit the Qin family tomorrow to take care of the transportation of the white jade fat."
The first batch of white jade fat was delivered to Ming County, basically for my brother-in-law and family. In order to produce the second batch of white jade fat tomorrow, Jin Kui will make careful arrangements.
Jin Wan didn't say anything, but just picked up the wine and drank a glass. She was happy for her husband, her brother, and the young lady of the Xie family. For some reason, Jin Wan always felt that this young lady seemed to have calculated everything long ago. But would the Xie family in the capital really be willing to let Mr. Xie return just for bean sprouts?
She had some doubts in her mind, but didn't dare to ask too much. Jin Kui was accompanied by someone when he arrived at Qinjia Village, so he had never seen wheat being ground by a stone mill. He had only visited the Baiyuzhi workshop before it started operation, so he couldn't tell the difference between these things.
Xie Yaer didn't know that her father and brothers were about to return, she was just worried about her daughter.
Qin Yuan hadn't expected to last a whole day! She'd been practicing martial arts since morning, and continued until dark. Even though she'd taken breaks, she'd still been training for at least six hours. She was only five years old, after all! Lu Qing had prepared some kind of potion, but even though it was bitter, he instantly felt energized after drinking it.
However, her body was still very tired after a day of training. Qin Yuan lay on the bed with sore body. Xie Yaer was massaging her. The medicinal bath would be ready soon and would take half an hour. Qin Yuan was so tired that she still had time to chat with her mother.
"Mother, do you think I'm very talented in martial arts? So powerful?"
Can an average five-year-old persist for that long?
"Of course, Youyou is the best at everything she does." Xie Yaer praised, but actually knew that it was the medicine given by Lu Qing that worked.
The first step in practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body. In addition to external exercise, various medicines are needed to expand the muscles and bones and even strengthen the body. Lu Qing's prescriptions can be considered secret recipes.
"Hehe! Of course!" Qin Yuan was so happy.
After a while, Liu Chunhua and her aunt Wang Pandidi came over with a basin of medicine. The others also wanted to take turns taking a medicinal bath, so they borrowed bathtubs from other people's homes in the village.
The room was warm. After taking the medicine and working hard all day, Qin Yuan didn't feel cold at all. After being stripped naked, she was placed in the bathtub. This was her own bathtub, made by Qin Yu herself.
I sat in a basin full of bitter medicine. It was my first time experiencing a medicinal bath, and it wasn't as uncomfortable as I had imagined. I just felt my body getting hotter and hotter, and it was quite comfortable to feel warm on such a winter day.
Xie Yaer kept watching the time. After she was sure that the time was up, she quickly pulled her daughter, whose body was red, out of the bathtub, wiped her and quickly put her on the bed. Qin Yuan felt unprecedented comfort and was so drowsy that she almost fell asleep.
Qin Huan called at this time. The other adults in the room were busy and no one heard the ringtone.
Qin Yuan quickly answered her daughter's video call. When the camera turned on, Qin Huan saw her mother lying on the bed with a red face.
"Mom? Why are you so red? What's going on?"
Qin Huan was startled. He was a little tired, but now he was awakened by the shock.
"I'm fine. I just took a medicinal bath. Today is my first day of martial arts training, and I feel great!"
Qin Yuan quickly comforted her daughter, showed a comfortable smile, and raised her hand for her daughter to see. Only then did Qin Huan feel relieved.
"Oh, that's fine. I thought you had a fever, you were so red. I hope you're not feeling unwell. You started practicing martial arts today. Are you tired? What did you do?"
Qin Huan was curious, and Qin Yuan did not hide it and told her daughter what she had done today, which made Qin Huan extremely surprised.
"It seems like you have a talent for martial arts, Mom. But as long as you like it, that's fine. I'm not in the hospital right now. I'm in Qinghang. I filmed with Actor Chen all day today, but I haven't finished yet. I guess it will take another two days to finish this work. I'm also very tired today."
Qin Yuan also explained her own affairs to her mother. She was already feeling hot from the medicinal bath. Now, listening to her daughter's voice, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace. She actually closed her eyes while listening to Qin Huan's voice. She didn't know when she fell asleep...
In the camera, Qin Huan saw his mother sleeping peacefully, and he slowly stopped talking and couldn't help laughing.
She also lay in bed, watching her sleeping mother through the video. She felt that her mother must be tired from practicing martial arts, and she looked so cute when she was sleeping...
Qin Yuan has gained weight recently and her face has become round, making people want to touch it.
Looking at her mother like this, Qin Huan felt less tired. She collapsed on the bed and kept staring at little Qin Yuan until half an hour passed and the video call automatically hung up. Before hanging up, she whispered goodbye.
"Good night, Mom. See you tomorrow."
