Chapter 399 As expected of the matriarch of the Qin family



Old Master Long was amused by Ye Weiwei's childish words, "What other requests do you have?"

Ye Weiwei thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't lack anything. Now that I've gotten over the anger I was holding in, I don't have any more demands."

Grandpa Long asked again, "Really nothing more? You know, there's much more I can do for you than just this. If you don't bring it up now, I won't take responsibility if you regret it later."

Ye Weiwei waved her hand dismissively, "You don't need to test me, old man. Although I'm a bit impetuous when I'm young, I'm not really unaware of my limits. With an expert like Dr. Zhao by your side, you don't need me to do much. All you need are medicinal herbs."

Those two immortal herbs were precious, but I had no use for them. Using them to vent my anger made the medicine worthwhile for me.

Grandpa Long's eyes revealed admiration, "No wonder she is Zhang Chunqiu's granddaughter."

Dr. Zhao said with shame, "Young friend Ye is too modest. I dare not call myself an expert in front of you. The prescription you wrote casually was something I had to study for several months after searching through many classic medical books and researching a lot of information."

Ye Weiwei said modestly, "I just happened to have seen this recipe in a book."

Dr. Zhao's eyes lit up. "I wonder if I would have the honor of borrowing the book you mentioned?"

After saying that, he was surprised to find that his request was too excessive and greedy. A medical book that could record such profound prescriptions must be a family heirloom that was not to be revealed to outsiders. So he quickly apologized, "I was presumptuous, I'm sorry!"

Ye Weiwei said nonchalantly, "Sure, I'll go home and look for it, then I'll bring it to you."

Dr. Zhao was surprised that Ye Weiwei was so easy to talk to. He was both excited and conflicted. He felt that he had gotten a great deal from the young girl, but he couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to learn those things, even though he was a medical fanatic.

So, he cautiously asked, "Is that alright?"

Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Why not! These prescriptions can only be truly valuable if more people know about them and use them to save more lives."

Dr. Zhao was surprised that Ye Weiwei had such a broad perspective at such a young age, and was immediately full of admiration. "You're right! If everyone had your level of awareness, our lineage of traditional Chinese medicine wouldn't be in this state now."

Many precious medicinal formulas have been lost to time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been suppressed by Western medicine to this extent.

After Dr. Zhao finished speaking, he added, "You don't need to bring it over. Just tell me when is convenient for you, and I'll come to your house to pick it up. It's too much trouble for you to come all the way here."

Thinking of all those checks, Ye Weiwei nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Whatever time is convenient for you, I'll be home tomorrow."

Dr. Zhao repeatedly said yes.

Old Master Long and Old Master Qin, who had already set up a chessboard, exchanged a smile upon hearing the two men's words.

Having found the herb of immortality, Ye Weiwei then revealed the whereabouts of the other two ingredients.

When Dr. Zhao heard from Ye Weiwei that it was on Daqingshan Mountain, and that she could find it by going to Daqingshan Village and asking Grandpa Du to lead her up the mountain, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The immortal herb must have been picked on Daqingshan Mountain, right? That place is truly a treasure trove."

He must go to that mountain in person if he has the chance; he might be able to find other good medicinal herbs.

Thinking of that mountain, Ye Weiwei agreed, saying, "It is indeed a treasure mountain."

Grandpa Qin also had a lot to say: "Many of Weiwei's medicinal herbs were picked from that mountain. You can often hunt pheasants, rabbits, wild boars, and roe deer on that mountain, and you can also pick a lot of wild fruits and wild delicacies. By the way, the tea that Weiwei gave me was also picked from that mountain."

Those two years, if they hadn't been able to get some food from the mountains from time to time, those old folks would have starved to death long ago.

Upon hearing about the tea, Old Man Long and Doctor Zhao's eyes lit up as they looked at Ye Weiwei: "Are there many tea trees on that mountain?"

Ye Weiwei thought to herself, "Here it comes! Luckily, I was prepared."

"Yes, there are quite a lot. I know a place where there's a large area."

Dr. Zhao looked at Ye Weiwei excitedly and asked, "I wonder if we could have a few transplanted back to try planting them?"

Ye Weiwei: "Don't ask me. Whoever finds something on this mountain keeps it."

Dr. Zhao: "After all, you were the one who discovered it first."

Ye Weiwei didn't care and told them about several places on the mountain where there were tea trees.

After Ye Weiwei and Grandpa Qin left, Old Man Long sighed, "Old Man Qin is very lucky! He was able to find his son who had been missing for more than 20 years, and he has grown up without relying on his family. His daughter-in-law is also very capable. The couple's future is limitless."

Dr. Zhao was ashamed to hear Elder Long praise a junior like this. He said, "I was narrow-minded before. I even caused Elder Long's reputation to suffer as a result."

He had people inquire about Ye Weiwei, and opinions were mixed.

He thought Ye Weiwei was arrogant and eccentric because of her medical skills, and that she was difficult to get along with.

But who knew that the other person's vision and perspective were much broader than his? He was simply judging a gentleman by his own petty standards!

Old Long waved his hand, "I know you're worried about my health, but what I did today was really unfair. Luckily, that kid is magnanimous and didn't hold it against me. But Old Qin won't let it go so easily. Just you wait, he'll definitely come after you later."

Dr. Zhao blushed with embarrassment. "At worst, if he asks me to play chess again, I'll let him have the game."

Old Master Long couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After returning home with Ye Weiwei, Old Master Qin was furious and cursed, "That old bastard surnamed Zhao is inhuman! He actually schemed against us! I'm so angry!"

Ye Weiwei found it amusing: "Then why didn't you teach him a lesson just now?"

Old Master Qin choked, and stammered, "It's all because of his old arms and legs. If I really lay a hand on him, he'll blame me! No, I can't let this go unpunished. I'll definitely get my revenge someday."

Ye Weiwei picked up Xiaoyunshu, who had been reaching out her little arms for a hug, and said with a smile, "It's not a bad deal. Although the Immortal Grass is precious and rare, I don't need two of those. This deal is still worthwhile. Besides, Dr. Zhao is a nice person."

He's clearly not someone who's good at playing mind games; his clues are full of flaws. He's probably just too worried about Elder Long's illness, which is understandable.

If Elder Long recovers his health, it will be of great benefit to the Qin family.

When Grandpa Qin saw that Ye Weiwei was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and was even happier.

As expected of the matriarch of the Qin family, she has everything: vision, perspective, and magnanimity.

Those two old guys must be so envious, right?

Among all the younger generation of families in Kyoto, none can compare to Weiwei.

In the evening, Ye Weiwei went into her spatial dimension and found the ancient book that recorded the prescription, as well as a few other good medical books, which she planned to lend to Dr. Zhao the next day.
