Wu Sanjin arrived and left quickly, but he had already disturbed Chen Xuanming and the others, and seeing that the other three had no intention of speaking, Dong Feng asked Jiang Erlang, "I heard that Brother Jiang wants to take part in the county and prefectural exams next year? I wonder how your review is going?"
"A few days ago, I wrote an article and showed it to the private school teacher in the next village. The teacher said there is room for improvement."
Yang Zheng felt that talking about these things was the most boring thing, and couldn't help but say: "Studying every day is really boring, Brother Jiang, why don't you go out and play with us?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, thinking about playing all day? If you dare to make my second brother fail the entrance exam to the county school, I will definitely complain to your mother!" Jiang Huaixu glared at Yang Zheng.
"You!" Yang Zheng didn't expect Jiang Huaixu to be such a person. "What else can you do besides complaining?"
"It works."
······
The two of them argued for a while, and Yang Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Young Doctor, what is your relationship with that Lord Shen? Why does he leisurely accompany you around all day? He's like your father!"
Jiang Huaixu noticed that Chen Xuanming and Bai Erlang pretended to look elsewhere but were actually listening carefully. He glanced at Yang Zheng with disdain. He was the only one who talked too much and was being used as a pawn without even realizing it. What a fool—
"I treated the Marquis, and he felt that he had a connection with me."
Yang Zheng suddenly realized, "No wonder you dare to open people's stomachs. You can cure diseases that even the imperial doctors can't. You are a miracle doctor!"
Chen Xuanming had been observing Jiang Huaixu's expression and did not believe this statement.
"The current emperor has been bedridden for many days, and the Empress has summoned the world's best doctors to treat him. If they can cure His Majesty, they will be able to enter the Imperial Hospital directly. Doctor Jiang, would you like to give it a try?"
Jiang Huaixu heard about this from Shen Su. Shen Su had no intention of asking her to treat the emperor, and she did not mention it.
It is not that easy to treat the emperor. A good treatment may not necessarily result in a good outcome, but a bad treatment will definitely cost him his life.
Besides, what good is being a doctor? It's a thankless job, and your life is at stake.
However, she did not expect that the emperor could hold on until now. Her original negative impression of the emperor's inaction in the face of natural disasters was alleviated because of his act of repaying Chen Su, but it was not enough to make her determined to save him.
"There are so many doctors in the palace and they can't do anything. Can I be more capable than all these old doctors? Master Chen is joking."
"The young doctor probably hasn't realized how famous he is," Chen Xuanming reminded him. "Things like performing a caesarean section to save lives are only seen in books. No one has ever witnessed it in person. The young doctor can not only perform a caesarean section but also a blood transfusion. This story has already spread throughout Chongming Prefecture and there's no guarantee it hasn't reached Kyoto."
"Mr. Chen, have you heard any rumors?" Jiang Erlang asked with a worried look on his face.
Chen Xuanming remained noncommittal.
No one spoke for a moment.
Jiang Huaixu pondered for a moment and broke the silence, "Thank you, Master Chen, for reminding me. I will never forget the writings from Lord Shen that you need."
Chen Xuanming chuckled softly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, little doctor."
After sending the four people away, Jiang Huaixu looked up and met Jiang Erlang's worried gaze.
She went into the house, drank some water, and put down her teacup. "Second brother, the deed has already been done. There's no way to stop the gossips of the world. We can only fight back when the enemy comes. I won't be vague about matters of life and death."
The last death was so inexplicable that she cherishes this life more than anyone else.
Jiang Erlang knew that this matter could not be stopped by people like them. It was precisely because of this that he felt powerless. Compared with Lord Shen, they, who called themselves family, could do too little for Ah Xu.
"Ah Xu, if... in the capital, no one must notice anything unusual about you."
He was afraid that he would not be able to go with Ah Xu at that time. What he had to do was to climb up and climb to a high enough position to protect his family.
Jiang Huaixu naturally knew the terrifying situation under the emperor's feet, and secrets were pure self-deception.
She wanted to dispel Jiang Erlang's worries, so she bowed and saluted - "Thank you for the reminder, second brother."
The newly arrived people from Dajin had already been arranged and had a good meal in the evening as a welcome treat. The next day, Jiang Huaixu came to the new house that Chen Su had bought.
"Dad, you won't be living in Beichuan County for long, so why do you want to buy such a big house?" Jiang Huaixu was puzzled.
This is an old house outside Beichuan County. It has three courtyards and needs to be renovated.
The only advantage was that it was big enough - a farm not far from the house was also bought.
The only shortcoming of her father was probably his squandering of money, but her family fortune plus her father's own was enough for him to squander without restraint.
Chen Su lowered his eyes to look at the two small tufts of hair on his little daughter's head, and couldn't help but reach out and touch them, "Xu'er, don't you want your father to live here?"
"No way." Jiang Huaixu touched his head and smiled, "Then let's live here from now on and not go back to Huaizhou!"
Chen Su smiled, his eyes becoming a little deeper.
There was nothing to see in the old house except for a lot of weeds and dust. The father and daughter took a quick look and decided not to delay the servants to clean it up.
"Dad, did mother give me a name before she passed away? My name was given by my master." Jiang Huaixu asked curiously.
"It's called Miaomiao." Chen Su said softly, "This is my nickname. When I was young, I was weak, so your grandmother went to Qingyun Temple to have a fortune-teller tell me my fate. She said that my fate lacked water, so she named me 'Sui'. When I came of age, she asked a master to tell me another character - 'Huizhi'.
Later, when you were born, your grandmother wrote to me complaining that you were very restless in your mother's womb, just like your father. Worried, she went to Qingyun Monastery again and gave you the nickname Miaomiao when she came back. Your grandmother knew the abbot of Qingyun Monastery from an old acquaintance, so she believed everything he said.
Jiang Huaixu's eyes moistened for a moment, he blinked, and said with a smile: "Daddy, then you can call me Miaomiao from now on. I like this name."
"Okay." Chen Su stopped and asked, "Miaomiao, do you want to take your father's surname, Chen?"
Although Chen Su's voice didn't change much, Jiang Huaixu could hear the caution in his tone.
Seeing this, she almost suspected that the person who tortured Jiang Yan was created for her by Fu Tuan.
She was a little confused about this question, "Dad, can I go back and discuss it with my parents?"
Chen Su didn't hesitate, "Okay."
