Xie Yushu had no idea what the Fifth Prince was up to. Xiao Yi and Chu Mingzhu had been reprimanded and hadn't appeared in front of her for the past few days. Consort Chu had also been confined to her quarters. With no one bothering her, Xie Yushu felt that she was living a very comfortable life!
The shop is making a steady profit, and the Eighteenth Prince's condition is stable with medication and there is nothing seriously wrong. According to the plan, Xie Yushu wants to return to Tai'an Prefecture. She may very well spend her whole life here. Of course, she doesn't want to make herself suffer. The glass has already been made, and she also wants to go back and find two people to study wind power generation to see if they can make an electric light or something!
She complained that lighting candles or kerosene for the rest of her life was too choking!
However, the Imperial Medical Academy was very enthusiastic about learning surgical techniques. Out of a sense of responsibility, Xie Yushu decided to stay for another two months, at least to teach them the common minor surgeries before leaving.
So after leaving the palace, she continued her monotonous life, going back and forth between home, work, and the palace.
She had prepared several gifts specifically for visiting the Han family. One was two jars of pure grain liquor that she had specially bought and fermented glutinous rice to make, and the other was a collection of poems that she had copied.
She also had a set of mahjong tiles specially made for her, and her homemade drinks—two cases of apple cider vinegar.
It took her more than ten days to prepare all these things, and then she had Nanxing deliver the visiting card.
When Madam Han heard that Xie Yushu was coming to pay her respects, she specially arranged a day off, choosing a time when the whole family was together.
Xie Yushu was unaware that the other party had made special arrangements. Anyway, once the visiting card was sent out, she would go whenever the other party said it was convenient for her. She should follow the host's lead!
As a result, she took Nanxing and Chunyu there, and upon entering, she saw the entire Han family, except for Han Zhongyu!
The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Han family, along with Niu Niu, were already waiting at the door, making Xie Yushu feel somewhat flattered.
Seeing that Nanxing and Chunyu were both carrying things, Niu Niu curiously asked Xie Yushu...
"Pretty auntie, is this a gift you brought for me?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yushu took the bottle of apple cider vinegar from Chunyu's hand and gave it to her to hug.
"Yes! This is a delicious juice, Auntie made it especially for Niu Niu!"
"Thank you, beautiful auntie! This bottle is so pretty! And the juice inside looks beautiful too!"
Xie Yushu used a glass bottle that had just been delivered from Tai'an Prefecture to hold the juice. The shiny bottle and the golden juice immediately captured Niu Niu's heart. She held it and looked at it from left to right, unable to put it down!
Sister-in-law Han said politely
"Princess, please come. Why bother bringing a gift for a child like her? You're so busy every day, it's too much trouble for you!"
"It's not a big deal, I liked Niu Niu the moment I saw her!"
Speaking of which, I must thank Brother Han for speaking up for me on several occasions!
"No need to be so polite! I'm an imperial censor, that's what I do!"
Han Boyu did not take credit for it and simply mentioned it briefly.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked to the inner courtyard's living room. The old Imperial Censor Han, his wife, Lord Han, and Madam Han were all there. They were very happy to see Xie Yushu, and Madam Han immediately went up to her and pulled Xie Yushu to sit next to the old Imperial Censor Han.
Xie Yushu insisted on first performing the traditional Chinese greetings for juniors before sitting down.
He then instructed Nanxing Chunyu to bring the gifts over.
Censor Han was a connoisseur of wine, and Xie Yushu had brought him some freshly brewed liquor. Even though it was unopened, the strong aroma of the wine wafted out. Censor Han couldn't resist picking up a jar and opening it on the spot.
"Good wine!"
Good heavens, I've been drinking for so many years and I've never smelled anything this strong!
Just based on this flavor, this wine can't be bad!
"Girl, where did you get this wine from?"
"It's homemade. If you like it, I'll bring you more later!"
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, Han Wuyong's eyes lit up. He immediately poured himself a cup and took a sip.
"It has a pure and pleasant aroma, and a sweet aftertaste. It's a fine wine, a truly excellent wine!"
"I'm glad you like it, Lord Han!"
"Sigh! Why call me Lord Han anymore!"
Call him Grandpa Han! You're a girl who's just as good as any man. You've chosen a better option than my two grandsons!
I've seen the house structure diagram and the crossbow blueprints you drew.
You were born at this time; the people of this era are truly blessed!
Xie Yushu readily accepted good advice.
"Grandpa Han, you flatter me. I was only doing my bit! The peace and prosperity of the Great Qi Kingdom is thanks to the wise ruler and virtuous ministers like you who tirelessly speak out for the people!"
Xie Yushu was actually a little nervous, after all, the person opposite her was a notoriously stubborn old man. Based on the principle of doing good deeds, saying nice things, being a good person, and not getting criticized, Xie Yushu was spewing out nice words without restraint.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xie Yushu's straightforward praise, Han Wuyong's beard practically bent crooked with laughter.
"As expected, little girls are always so sweet! It's a pity he doesn't have a daughter!"
Fortunately, he has a great-granddaughter!
Seeing her husband's appearance, Old Madam Han couldn't bear to look at him and secretly spat.
"Virtue!"
Then pull Xie Yushu over
"Girl, don't mind him. There are only two things in his life that he can't resist: alcohol and official business!"
It goes on and on, it's so annoying!
This isn't the imperial court, let's not talk about that, let's chat with Grandma about everyday things!
"good!
Oh, by the way, Grandma Han, I brought you a mahjong set today. You, Aunt Han, and sister-in-law can play cards to pass the time!
As Xie Yushu spoke, she took out the mahjong set. The mahjong set was made of jade, which was very auspicious. Although Old Madam Han and Madam Han did not know how to play, they took a liking to it at a glance!
Taking advantage of this moment, Xie Yushu directly took out the poetry collection and gave it to Han Nian'an.
