Ye Zelin stood up and bowed deeply to Old Lady Gao, "Grandson thanks you, Grand Aunt."
Old Madam Gao pointed at the chair with her round fan and said, "Sit down, sit down."
Ye Zelin just sat back down. He paused for a moment before saying, "Grandaunt, I'm not keen on medicine and don't have much interest in it. What do you think of me passing on the Ouyang family's acupuncture techniques to Fushu?"
Hua Fushu looked at Ye Zelin, then at Old Lady Gao.
Old Mrs. Gao naturally noticed it, so when she looked back at Hua Fushu, Hua Fushu felt quite embarrassed and looked away.
Mrs. Gao looked at Hua Fushu again before she said to Ye Zelin, "Brother Lin, now that the needlework has been passed down to you, it's yours. It's up to you to decide who you want to pass it on to."
"Thank you, great aunt." Ye Zelin said with a smile.
Hua Fushu was stunned. Did the old lady agree?
Seeing her acting silly, Ye Zelin gently kicked Hua Fushu with his foot.
She finally came to her senses and quickly stood up, bowing to Old Lady Gao and saying, "Thank you, Auntie, for your help."
Old Madam Gao asked her to stand up and said, "Shujie, you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Lin'er."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Of course I have to thank my husband."
She looked at Ye Zelin, her almond-shaped eyes filled with gratitude.
Ye Zelin coughed lightly and said, "Madam, you don't have to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then learning the Ouyang family's acupuncture and moxibustion well and carrying it forward will be the greatest thank you to me."
Hua Fushu said seriously, "Fushu will definitely not disappoint my husband and my great aunt's expectations."
Seeing her gaze drifting towards him again, Ye Zelin's face flushed with a hint of redness, and he smiled back at her faintly. Hua Fushu also smiled faintly before sitting back in his original seat.
After chattering for a while, Ye Zelin mentioned that he was going to Luoyang. Hua Fushu was quite surprised. She wanted to avoid the head of the Huo family, but there was no need to go to Luoyang.
Old Mrs. Gao was puzzled. Ye Zelin told her about Hua Fushu and the story about the head of the Huo family. Old Mrs. Gao couldn't help but look at Fushu again while listening.
Seeing this, Ye Zelin said that it was not just because of the head of the Huo family, he had some private matters to attend to in Luoyang. Old Lady Gao stopped asking and only asked when he would leave.
Ye Zelin said: "Tomorrow."
Old Madam Gao smiled and said, "That's fine, that's fine. We've been in Wuyin for some time now, and it wouldn't be good if important matters were left unsettled for too long."
After a few pleasantries, Ye Zelin and the other man said goodbye. Old Mrs. Gao and Qingdai saw them off.
Hua Fushu's expression changed slightly, and then returned to normal the next moment, which Ye Zelin just happened to catch.
After leaving Rong Xi Tang, Hua Fushu consciously quickened her pace and walked in front. She knew very well what the old lady meant. She wanted Qingdai to talk to Ye Zelin.
Ye Zelin frowned slightly and was about to call out to Hua Fushu, but Qingdai said first, "Madam Fushu, wait a minute."
Hua Fushu suddenly stopped and looked back, "What's the matter?"
Qing Dai smiled and reminded: "Madam, you should go with the young master."
Hua Fushu was unaware of this, but Ye Zelin had already stepped forward and said softly, "Let's go."
Hua Fushu nodded ambiguously and walked out of the yard side by side with Ye Zelin.
Qingdai looked at the two of them living in peace and quiet, and couldn't help but shed tears, but suddenly she smiled with tears in her eyes.
Hua Fushu pondered the meaning of Qingdai's words along the way, but still couldn't understand.
When she was almost at Luoxiaxuan, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Zelin. Ye Zelin was forced to stop and asked her what was the matter.
Hua Fushu asked, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Miss Qingdai?"
Ye Zelin frowned again and asked her, "Do you really want me to get in touch with Qingdai?"
Hua Fushu only half understood what was going on and looked at him, but Ye Zelin ignored her and entered Luoxiaxuan.
Hua Fushu entered the house, called Sanqiao, and told her to pack her luggage.
Not long after, two maids brought two books on Ouyang family acupuncture. Hua Fushu said thank you before taking them.
After sending the two maids away, Hua Fushu looked at the needlework on the table and said to Ye Zelin, "Ye Zelin, thank you so much for this. My long-cherished wish has finally come true."
Ye Zelin found a book and read it without looking up at her. "No need to thank me, just be well."
"I still have to thank you. It's all thanks to you." Hua Fushu said with a smile.
Ye Zelin just looked at her and said, "I should be the one thanking you. You invited the head of the Huo family for my second uncle."
Hua Fushu said: "This is what I should do."
Ye Zelin was about to speak, but Sanqiao, who was packing her luggage, interrupted, "You two are husband and wife, is it fun to keep thanking each other?"
Hua Fushu was slightly annoyed, "Shut up."
Sanqiao shut up.
Ye Zelin smiled helplessly and then read his book. Hua Fushu took out a book on acupuncture and started studying it.
As they were about to give their farewell speech, Ouyang Jingming and Ye Songyan, a pair of friends who were not quite friends, had a long conversation.
Under the dim light, the two sat in the corridor of Xianyunzhai courtyard, with their backs against the columns, each holding a pot of Huadiao tea.
After taking a bite of Huadiao wine, Ye Songyan said, "Uncle Ouyang, why are you so nice to me? My second brother is your biological nephew, and I am not my mother's biological son."
Ouyang Jingming glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Ye Songyan glared at him, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Ouyang Jingming was thinking, and Ye Songyan was eating Huadiao wine. At this time, Ouyang Jingming said, "Maybe it's because you and Yuning were born on the same day."
Ye Songyan said, "Yu Ning? He should be my third brother. I heard from my mother that he died at birth. She was very sad for a long time, and her mood did not improve until she had Ruhuan."
When mentioning Madam Ouyang, Ouyang Jingming smiled. In his heart, his sister was the most gentle and beautiful woman in the world.
He said: "My sister is the best woman in the world. She is very kind to me and dotes on me..."
He recalled some past events. "I remember that your family was not at peace at that time. Your grandfather always disliked my sister and caused her a lot of trouble. That's why I named your third brother Yuning. Yuning, I wish you a peaceful life. This is my sister's greatest hope for your third brother. Unfortunately, Yuning didn't survive..."
He sighed, as if unwilling to recall the past, took a few bites of Huadiao wine, and laughed.
Ye Songyan didn't understand Ouyang Jingming's smile, "What are you laughing at?"
Ouyang Jingming said, "You know what? When you were little, you were very picky about food. You refused to drink the milk from your wet nurse and your mother, and only drank my sister's milk. You ate that for more than a month."
Ye Songyan was very surprised and quickly denied it, "No, my mother never told me about this. Uncle, you are making it up."
Ouyang Jingming said, "I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, ask your second brother. He was three years old at the time, so he should remember something. Or you can ask mother when you return to Beijing; she's sure she remembers. Not only were you picky about food, you were also difficult to raise. You would cry non-stop whenever anyone got close to you, including your mother. But you would stop crying once my sister comforted you. Later, it seems your grandfather was afraid that you would get too close to my sister, so he took you back."
"Nonsense." Ye Songyan was half-believing and half-doubting.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Ouyang Jingming was drinking, and there was a hint of seriousness in his tone. He was obviously in his twenties, but he still acted like a teenager.
