"Mom, the sun is so nice today, let's take Dad outside to get some sun."
A woman dressed in a light green cotton coat lifted the curtain, raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight, and looked up at the sky.
"good"
He Yi rolled up her sleeves, preparing to carry Huo Shuwen, chair and all, out of the recliner.
"No need, no need, Yi, I can walk by myself."
He'd noticed these past few days that his wife had become significantly stronger since coming to the border town.
Once upon a time, the gentle woman before me was also a young lady from a prominent family in the capital, but she suffered because of him.
The man in plain clothes took her hand and said...
"Ah Yi, you've suffered since you came with me."
The woman chuckled softly.
"You've already had the baby, why bring this up?"
Go with him
It was the best decision she ever made in her life.
There is none.
Should we stay in the capital and wait to die?
Do you think her stepmother and stepsister would let her off the hook?
Sixteen years after birth
Hidden in the house for sixteen years
She was afraid that others would see her and praise her.
With a brain like that, she can't even be a proper wife, yet she wants to drag her daughter down to someone of high status.
They died without even knowing how they died.
The woman's accent instantly brought his thoughts back to Beijing, where He Yi had spoken in such a sweet and delicate voice.
He would blush when he smiled at him
He seduced her first.
scheming
Step by step
Knowing that she longs for the outside world
Huo Shuwen would tell her every day
As he spoke
This small space can no longer contain her.
He was too embarrassed to let He Yi carry him out to sunbathe.
The woman helped him walk slowly outside, with the little boy following behind, hugging the recliner.
"Dad, Grandpa Gu said you need to get plenty of sunshine these days to help you recover your energy." Huo Shuwen nodded.
My daughter is such a sweet little angel.
Where is his son?
oh
Ever since I heard he was free, I've been going to practice my martial arts.
While you're at it, check in on the courtesan next door.
Anyway, there's no sign of them.
Even Erhei is better.
They even knew to buy their uncle some good things to help him recover.
Huo Xiaocheng: I need to be rich too. Every time I earn money, I give it to my mother. My meager allowance isn't even enough for Chunying to buy a single rouge. It's mainly because I'm shameless.
The old doctor had finished making the pills, producing thirty in total, and the old man gave them twenty-four of them.
This was agreed upon beforehand.
"Come, Master Huo, try the medicine."
The man glanced at the black pill in the old man's hand, then looked around at his wife and daughter's expectant eyes.
He closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and the pill went straight down.
"Let me tell you, Master Huo, this medicine, as long as a person still has a breath left, if they take it and then carry them to me, even the King of Hell's Death-Reaping Prayer won't be able to take them away."
The young apprentice following behind couldn't bear to see his master in such a state.
Ever since that old man in the clinic took the medicine and regained consciousness, Master's mouth has been stretched to the back of his ears in a wide grin. He says these words to anyone he meets.
"If you could give me another ginseng root, I guarantee I could concoct a medicine with the exact same effect."
After taking the medicine, Huo Shuwen felt much better, and his recovery was visibly rapid.
But while century-old ginseng is rare, surely Dr. Gu has plenty?
After all these years of wandering the world, how could he not manage to get a few hundred-year-old ginseng roots?
"Take it if you want it."
When the elixir is ready, it can be given to his wife and children. If they can't find a doctor with the same skill level as him when they need ginseng, then all that ginseng will be wasted.
He Yi glanced at her daughter
It means
Go to the kitchen and get it quickly.
Your father has already promised his wife off.
Who knew the little girl would speak up directly?
I need to use the restroom.
After saying that, Huo Xiaolong went to the outhouse to fetch the medicinal herbs.
Her mother always told her to use the space discreetly, and she even hid it in the outhouse. There couldn't be a more secretive place than that, could there?
The little dumpling carefully tucked the ginseng away, sauntered over to the young medicine boy waiting outside, poked him, and said...
"Here's some ginseng. Put it away carefully, okay? Don't let my dad see it. It's his family heirloom; he'll be heartbroken if he sees it."
The medicine boy nodded in understanding.
Ginseng with water
Anyone who concocts elixirs or uses them in medicine feels the pinch.
So white
Just sitting there and taking a couple of puffs feels like it can prolong your life.
"And there are miraculous medicines."
Huo Xiaolong untied a water pouch from his waist and said...
"We don't have any more water bottles at home; they're all at your clinic. This is all we have left, so please make do with this water bag. Remember to bring me the water bottle next time you come."
The young medicine boy nodded hurriedly.
This kid is quite thrifty.
—Inside the Fengyue Tower
Miao Cuifang tiptoed to the ground and landed in front of Cen's mother's room, gently knocking on the wooden door.
—Knock knock knock
"Aunt Cen, a letter has arrived."
Because of his excellent light-footed skills, the Miao boy was sent by Cen Ang to stake out the county government office.
"Wei Ci is keeping a close watch on things, and the magistrate's wife couldn't get a letter out, so she asked me to deliver it to you."
Cen's mother nodded and opened the letter to read it.
'Ah Cen, Wei Ci can't sit still anymore. Someone has already sent a message to him; his interest in the brothel remains undiminished.'
"Did someone send a letter to Wei Ci today?"
“Hmm, she doesn’t look like she’s from the Central Plains, she’s quite tall,” Miao Cuifang replied.
"How was it delivered?"
He sneaked in disguised as a farmer delivering vegetables.
Cen Ang nodded, already having a plan in mind.
County Government Office
Magistrate Wang and Wei Ci were irreconcilable enemies.
"Wang Zheng, I am your superior, appointed by the Emperor himself. How dare you disrespect me?"
Magistrate Wang looked somewhat youthful; though in his thirties, he appeared to be around twenty, and when he smiled, he even had two small tiger teeth.
"The official personally appointed by the Emperor wants me to take him to a brothel?"
Wei Ci slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Brothels are places for pleasure-seeking. What's wrong with me relaxing during my rest time?"
"Lord Wei, the door isn't open," Wang Zheng said, crossing his legs.
"You're telling him to force the door open if she won't?"
"Inflexible!" Wei Ci said, flicking his sleeve.
"Even if she closes her shop every day from now on, we have no right to force her to entertain customers. Sir, can't you find another place?"
"How dare you mock me, an official! Aren't you afraid of losing your position?"
Wang Zheng smiled and said
"Your memorial reaches the Emperor directly, what a coincidence! My memorial does too! Wang Zheng is the magistrate of Pingyang County, and he was the first to shed blood in battle against the Xiongnu. You can try and see whose memorial reaches the Emperor first!"
You're amazing!
Your close minister
I'm just not as high-ranking as you.
It doesn't mean the Emperor doesn't value me.
The First Fortress of the Border Town
Try touching me and see what happens?
All memorials from Pingyang County were sent via express courier service, which traveled 800 li (approximately 400 kilometers).
Bypassing the Hanlin Academy and the Grand Secretary, directly reaching the Imperial Case
Who are you threatening here?
ungrateful!
Wang Zheng looked at Wei Ci with a grin.
Two little tiger teeth showing
Wei Ci, sitting at the desk, had bulging veins.
"Good...very good."
Wang Zheng, right?
Later...
He's going to tear him to pieces!
Like those who look down on themselves
Go feed them all to the dogs!
