Rather than learning a half-baked skill that could harm people, it's better not to learn at all and stick to your existing medical knowledge. At least you'll know whether you can cure people or not.
Inside the pharmacy, a large pot sits atop several layers of steamers, with a fire burning beneath it, from which steam slowly rises.
Su Wanyan looked around and nodded repeatedly, the drying technique was very professional.
Yang Zhonghe is also confident in his skills: "We can't lift the lid yet, but a batch was dried last night, you can take a look."
Yang Chong's wife is about to give birth, and Su Wanyan was looking for some medicinal herbs. Hearing Zheng Zhonghe say this, she nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your help."
"This way, please."
Behind the pharmacy, there is also a room for drying medicines.
As soon as you enter, the aroma of Chinese herbal medicine hits you.
Su Wanyan was picking and choosing with great interest, while Yu Nanqing silently followed behind her, his eyes filled with a doting smile.
After selecting the medicinal herbs and paying the money, Su Wanyan slowly led Yu Nanqing back to their residence.
When they returned, quite a few people invited them to come in for breakfast, but Su Wanyan declined them all. Instead, she borrowed some firecrackers, thinking she would set them off when she got back, as a way of celebrating the festival.
However, before the two returned to their lodgings, they ran into the village chief, who seemed to have been waiting for them at the door. Upon seeing Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing, he smiled and said, "Dr. Su, Young Master Yu, where have you been? I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Come to my house for breakfast together."
Because of the holiday, breakfast will be especially lavish.
The village chief's family had prepared portions for Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing well in advance.
"this……"
Before Su Wanyan could refuse, the village chief spoke up again: "Didn't I say a few days ago that you should come to our house for dinner during the New Year? Everything is ready, we're just waiting for you two."
Su Wanyan swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Did eating mean... eating at his house for the entire year?
Not just one meal?
Yu Nanqing looked at Su Wanyan, as if waiting for her to make a decision. Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Let's go then."
The village chief's family is a large family. Besides him and his wife, he has two sons who live with him. The two sons have married and the two daughters-in-law have given birth to children. In total, they have three grandsons and two granddaughters.
When Su Wanyan arrived, she saw that a large table of dishes had already been set out in the main room, and it was quite noisy because there were many people in the family.
The meal was prepared by the village chief's wife and her two daughters-in-law.
During the meal, the village chief's wife told me that they had an eldest son who had left the village many years ago and rarely returned. They had received a letter from their eldest son before winter.
Su Wanyan was curious and casually asked.
But then the village chief coughed twice, clearly not wanting his wife to say more, so Su Wanyan couldn't ask any further questions.
After breakfast, Su Wanyan chatted with them for a while before leaving.
According to the village chief's wife, the village is deserted, and there are no activities during the Spring Festival. Since it is cold, everyone can only stay at home and chat.
It's a bit more lively if there are small children around; you can watch them build snowmen in the yard, chase each other, and play around. But that's about it.
Su Wanyan also deeply understood this point; the thing the villagers did most often when they came to her was chat.
Back at their lodgings, Huang Ye had already lit the charcoal fire, making the main room warm and cozy.
"Your Majesty, you're back?" Huang Ye greeted her with a smile and a curtsy.
Su Wanyan yawned: "I got up too early today. I'm going upstairs to take a nap. Wake me up at noon."
"Yes." Huang Ye listened: "Then this servant will take the charcoal to the second floor."
Yu Nanqing then spoke up: "I'll stay with Yan'er."
Su Wanyan looked up at him and asked, "Isn't Yan Gongyi's matter urgent?"
"No rush." Let's get through the New Year first.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan had no objection. Taking advantage of the early hour, she took off her outer robe, loosened her hair, and went to bed to sleep.
On the other side, where Yan Gongyi lived.
"Let me out! Let me out!"
The door to the room where Yan Gongyi was being held was locked, and the windows were nailed shut. There were also guards on all four sides of the residential building.
"Yu Nanqing! My great-grandfather saved your life! You are repaying kindness with enmity! I will not let you get away with this!"
After being locked up for a day and a night, she was furious at the lack of any movement outside. She sat down in a chair with her arms crossed, looked at the breakfast that had been delivered that morning, and suddenly gritted her teeth and kicked the table over!
A loud crash was heard as the delivered breakfast was scattered all over the floor.
However, even though she made such a commotion, no one came in to see her.
Seeing that so many people were guarding the house, the surrounding villagers wisely refrained from asking any questions.
On the night of family reunion, Su Wanyan carried the smoked meat and frozen vegetables brought by the villagers and prepared to go to the village chief's house.
"Your Highness." Before leaving, Tanaka bowed and called out softly.
Seeing this, Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Then I'll go first, you can follow me in a bit."
Yu Nanqing grabbed her hand and said, "Yan'er, there's no need to avoid it. It's nothing important."
She wasn't avoiding it; she simply didn't want to get involved.
Su Wanyan didn't explain, but then she heard Tanaka say, "Miss Yan threw away all the food that was delivered, and there's still not a drop left."
Is this a hunger strike?
Su Wanyan, who originally didn't want to get involved, smiled coldly: "Starting tomorrow, there's no need to send her anything. Just let her go hungry."
The villagers' food supply was already dwindling, and she went and even dropped it while delivering it to them.
Yu Nanqing smiled and looked at Tanaka, who understood and said, "Yes."
Once Lunar New Year's Eve is over, it will be the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Having heard the sound of firecrackers yesterday, Su Wanyan no longer found it strange today. She even pulled the blanket over her ears and continued to sleep.
The villagers in the village make offerings to Buddha during festivals, so they get up very early. It's still dark outside, but it's already very noisy.
Yu Nanqing held the drowsy Su Wanyan in his arms, and Su Wanyan instinctively snuggled closer to his chest.
However, just as Su Wanyan was about to drift back into sleep, an urgent voice rang out from the first floor: "Dr. Su! Is Dr. Su here? My wife... my wife is about to give birth! Is Dr. Su here?"
The sound carried clearly to the second floor, and Su Wanyan sat up abruptly from the bed.
Yu Nanqing felt his arms suddenly empty, and his brows furrowed instantly.
"Dr. Su! Dr. Su, open the door!"
The calls continued, and Yang Chong, growing anxious, pounded on the first-floor door.
Huang Ye opened the door from the inside: "Brother Yang Chong, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
"Miss Huangye, my wife is about to give birth! Is Doctor Su here? Could you please come and take a look?" Yang Chong seemed very anxious, his lips even turning pale, whether from the cold or worry.
"Don't worry, I'll go wake Madam up right now."
"Thank you! Thank you..."
