Chapter 16 My niece, A'si from the Cui family, is stunningly beautiful
"I'm not from Xianyang. I was looking for a place to settle down when I happened to meet Brother Cui. He asked me to come here with him."
"I may have to disturb your family for a few days. I will leave after I have prepared a house. If I have been disrespectful, please forgive me, aunt."
Originally they came here to settle down to avoid disaster.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu immediately said enthusiastically, "Xianyang City is indeed peaceful now. Since you're here, you can settle down with peace of mind. The Xianyang City Governor is also a member of the Cui family. You can have this brat take you to the government office to complete your household registration."
"Thank you, auntie."
"Why thank you?" Cui Changyou said quickly. "Mother, you might not know this, but Brother Jiang is a disciple of Medicine King Valley. Although he's young, he's already a renowned doctor. You were ill two years ago and haven't been feeling well. I brought him here just to have him see you."
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Old Mrs. Xu was surprised and immediately became interested. She had only heard of the miracle doctor in Yaowang Valley from storytellers, and she really didn't know whether he was really that magical.
However, she fell down two years ago and her health is indeed not as good as before. Thinking that the younger ones at home have not yet been provided for and Song Rou is incapable of supporting the family, she wants to live a few more years.
"Then please ask Jiang Xiaolang to take a look at this old lady of mine."
"Yes, please ask Doctor Jiang to check on my grandmother." Cui Si came back to her senses and was a little excited.
She had also heard of Jiang Cinian. He was said to be an old friend of Cui Changyou. After Cui Changyou passed away, he took Cui Changyou's letters and came to Xianyang City to settle down. When he learned that Cui Changyou had passed away, he was very sad.
In the fourth year after Cui Si got married, she came back to pay homage to her grandparents, mother and two uncles. She also met Cui Changyou in front of his tomb. She also heard from the tomb keeper in the clan that he came here every month to drink with old friends.
After Cui Si was reborn this time, she immediately asked Old Lady Xu to send someone to call Cui Changyou back. After Cui Changyou came back, she asked him if he recognized Jiang Cinian, and then asked him to come and treat Old Lady Xu.
Unexpectedly, Cui Changyou actually brought the person back this time.
Cui Changyou immediately pointed at Cui Si and said, "Brother Jiang, this is what I told you. My niece, Cui Si, is a beautiful girl and the most talented student in the world. She..."
"Uncle." Cui Si glared at him. "Even if you want to praise me, can you please not do it in front of me?"
People also have to save face, okay?
"Right, right, right. See, I forgot. I should praise you behind your back. I'll talk to you about it later."
It was too noisy. Cui Si covered her ears and said to Jiang Cinian, "Doctor Jiang, please ignore him. Please take a look at my grandmother."
"Yeah." Seeing that the uncle and nephew of the Cui family were both anxious, Jiang Cinian did not hesitate. He put down the basket in his hand, asked someone to bring a basin of water to wash his hands, and then asked Old Lady Xu to stretch out her hand for him to take his pulse.
Jiang Cinian pressed his fingers on Mrs. Xu's pulse for a while, then removed his hand after a long time.
Cui Changyou quickly asked, "Brother Jiang, what's wrong? How is my mother?"
This guy was quite a mess when he was running around shouting about wanting to become a monk, but he really cared about his mother.
Jiang Qinian asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write the prescription, then he said: "The heart meridian is injured and there is some damage. It needs to be nourished and not be too happy or sad."
"Brother Cui and Madam Cui, don't worry too much. I'll prescribe a medicine for you to take care of yourself first. After a while, when you feel better, I'll change to another one. After a year or two, you should be much better. But remember not to get too excited or too sad."
Cui Si asked, "When Grandmother recovers, what will happen to her when she experiences extreme joy and sorrow?"
In her previous life, the heaviest blow to Old Lady Xu was Cui Changyou's death. She might be able to change Cui Changyou's fate in this life, but it is better not to have this hidden danger.
Jiang Ci Nian glanced at her upon hearing this. Seeing this beautiful and elegant girl biting her lip slightly, her cold eyes filled with worry and fear, he was slightly stunned, then said, "The old lady is old, it's better not to be overly happy or sad."
Cui Si's heart suddenly sank and she felt a little dazed.
"Is... is that so?"
Could it be that... Could it be that even if Jiang Cinian was invited, Old Madam Xu might still face such a disaster?
Old Mrs. Xu patted her granddaughter's hand and comforted her, "A'si, don't worry. Even if Grandma is happy, she will take care of her health. She might even want to live a few more years and be in better health because of her happiness."
Cui Si thought to herself, I’m not afraid of great joy, but I’m afraid of great sorrow.
But then she changed her mind and thought that the root of all this should be Cui Changyou. As long as her uncle was alive and well, the old lady would not have had this trouble.
Thinking of this, Cui Si turned her head to look at Cui Changyou, then stood up and dragged him out.
Cui Changyou was pulled back by her, very dissatisfied: "A Si, why are you pulling me? I haven't offended you."
Cui Si snorted coldly: "I have something to tell you, come out here!"
"Hey, who is the elder, you or me? Why are you so disrespectful? I haven't seen you for a few months, and your temper has gotten worse!"
Old Madam Xu watched the uncle and nephew leave, smiled and shook her head, and said to Jiang Cinian: "Don't be offended, Jiang Xiaolang, they have always had a good relationship."
"It's okay. It's human nature to love one's loved ones." Jiang Cinian lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow, making him look calm and peaceful.
Old Madam Xu asked him, "Who else is in Jiang Xiaolang's family? Why did you suddenly come to settle in Xianyang City?"
Jiang Ci Nian said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Master has raised me since I was little, and we've been dependent on each other for everything. There's no one else in my family. Now that the emperor is incompetent and growing old, he's actually dreaming of immortality and has come to Medicine King Valley to ask Master to develop an elixir for him."
"Master saw that the situation was not good, so he asked me to leave first and find a place to live in hiding. He followed those people to the Imperial City and escaped on the way."
"Master has disappeared. When I went back to check, Medicine King Valley had been razed to the ground."
Judging from this situation, he seemed to have escaped, but no one knew where he was. Jiang Cinian didn't dare to look for him everywhere, so he had to follow his master's instructions and find a safe place to live.
"Then, I met Brother Cui, who invited me to Xianyang City. I thought about it and agreed."
"The tyrant has caused great harm to people!" Old Mrs. Xu cursed loudly.
Ten years ago, her mother's family was also implicated in the incident of deposing the crown prince. The whole family was convicted and many people died. The rest had to live in hiding, and even Old Lady Xu was unknown.
"You can stay in Xianyang City with peace of mind. However, if someone from the imperial court is looking for you, you must be careful. Although Xianyang City is peaceful now, it is not an ironclad city."
