Zhang Ziwei sneered, "We just buried the last person who dreamed of rising to prominence!"
Thinking of Sun Fan, Wang Lin's fiery heart felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on it, and it felt cold.
Zhou rubbed her arm and said a little aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law, you almost broke my arm just now!"
Mrs. Hu nodded her head and said, "I think that's not a big deal! You two are so confused! Everyone else knelt down just now, and you were still standing there with confused faces. Aren't you just waiting to be beheaded?"
Ji Changchuan sighed, "I really let my guard down because of what my mother and sister did recently. Luckily, my aunt is here to help me keep an eye on you."
Mrs. Hu touched Ji Changchuan's head and said, "You've suffered so much."
Ji Changying hasn't said anything yet!
"I'm different from Mom! I just reacted a little bit too slowly. I was just about to squat down when my aunt pulled me down."
Zhou was unconvinced: "I was just slow to react! I was already halfway down!"
Mrs. Hu curled her lips: "Okay, okay, whatever you two say is what I'll do. I'm busy now!"
Ji Changying felt a bit speechless, but Ji Changchuan pulled the two of them aside and solemnly warned them: "Next time you encounter something like this that requires you to kneel down, just squat down. Try to squat into the crowd, lower your body, and blend in. It's good to blend in, okay?"
Zhou was confused and said, "If our family of four goes out and you and your father kneel down, should I squat too?"
Ji Changchuan said firmly: "Squat! Just squat behind Daddy!"
"What if only your father kneeled? You and Aying didn't kneel, so should I squat?"
"Squat! Whenever Dad kneels down, you squat behind him!"
Zhou's eyes gradually became firm: "Okay, I'll remember it!"
Ji Changchuan turned his head to look at Ji Changying, who quickly expressed her opinion: "I'll squat with Mom!"
The three of them smiled at each other and reached a consensus.
After Mr. Huang and the yamen runners had parked the carriage, they let Jin Yuanbao carry Xie Siheng to the side hall to rest, and asked the other two to carry the luggage.
After entering the side hall, Huang Lao ordered them: "Bai Cao, make a fire quickly! Bai Zhu, cook these herbs, and Jin Yuanbao, put the person on the cushion over there."
"yes!"
The three of them did as Mr. Huang said neatly.
Elder Huang placed his hand on Xie Siheng's wrist and felt his pulse: "You can completely remove this needle in three days."
Xie Siheng breathed a sigh of relief. The days of paralysis were really uncomfortable, but they were finally over.
"This doesn't mean you're healed. Even though I've been giving you acupuncture and nursing care, your internal injuries are still a long way from being healed! And the wound on your face is still missing some medicinal herbs. I wonder if it will leave scars if it goes on like this."
Speaking of this face, Xie Siheng didn't care much: "It doesn't matter if there is a scar."
Old Huang curled his lips: "You don't care? What if your future wife dislikes you? Sometimes men also have to compete with their looks! Back then, if I were a little more handsome, Bai Yufang..."
As if remembering that the person in front of him was Bai Yufang's grandson, Mr. Huang slammed on the brakes.
"Be careful with your words! This concerns the reputation of your elders, so it's better for you not to say anything careless." Xie Siheng said in a light tone.
Huang Lao couldn't help coughing awkwardly. "You need to rest in this state! I won't waste any more time here. You should rest first."
He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, so he simply took a bag of herbs and came to find Ji Changying.
Seeing him coming, Ji Changying greeted him and continued to drink their hot water with the monkey.
After Huang Lao handed the herbs to Mrs. Hu and asked her to cook them for the family to drink in the evening, he squatted beside Ji Changying and asked curiously, "You and your mother are so strong, is it natural?"
Ji Changying nodded: "It's about the same, it's inherited from my ancestors."
Huang Lao suddenly became interested: "Oh? It's inherited from our ancestors? Are all the people in your family so strong?"
"No, it's just me and my mother."
"So, only girls in your family have this strength, but not boys? Then your grandma is also very strong?"
Thinking of grandma, Ji Changying hesitated for a moment: "That should be it?"
Old Huang frowned: "How old is your grandma? Where is she from? What's her name?"
Ji Changying was a little puzzled: "Why are you asking so many details? I'm checking the household registration!"
Although he didn't understand the word "hukou", Huang Lao thought it was the same as "hukou" (household registration). "That's not the case. I just feel like we're destined to be together. My little sister is just like you. She has inherited great strength from her ancestors, and it's only passed down to girls. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Ji Changying looked at him suspiciously: "Is this true? Is this the case?"
"It absolutely couldn't be more true!"
Ji Changying thought for a moment and said, "My grandmother is from Dashi Village, Weichuan County, Qingzhou Prefecture. She is forty-three years old this year. Her name is... her name is..."
She really didn't know his name, after all, people rarely called him by his name at that time.
Ji Changying asked Zhou, and she thought for a long time before slapping her thigh: "Your grandma's name is Liu Danniu! What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"
Huang Lao repeated the story, and Zhou had a look on her face that said, "Are you kidding me?" "My mother said she's the only girl in the family, but she's never had any sisters. Do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool?!"
Zhou hated being treated like a fool the most, so she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to beat someone up.
Huang Lao was shocked to see her like this and quickly stepped away: "If there is no, then there is no! Why do you still want to beat me up?"
He saw everything that happened during the fight that day. Zhou fought recklessly and hit hard. He was an old man and couldn't withstand a single punch.
Ji Changying grabbed Zhou and signaled Mr. Huang to leave quickly. The little monkey also bared his teeth and waved his fist at him.
Old Huang was so angry that he pointed at Zhou and cursed, "Rude! Barbaric!" After that, he ran away.
Zhou couldn't help but roll up her sleeves again: "Let's have a duel!"
Ji Changying quickly grabbed her and smoothed her hair: "Hey! That old man was just talking nonsense, he didn't mean anything else, let's not be angry anymore!"
Zhou snorted angrily, "Just because you're old, you can talk nonsense? If I were older, I would talk nonsense too!"
This...this...this cannot be refuted.
The little food King Xuan gave was not enough for each person to eat, so Zhang Ziwei selected a few families with the worst conditions and distributed the food to them.
It was only when he was eating that he realized a serious problem.
They have no cook!
That means they can only cook for themselves now!
He had no choice but to order someone to cook.
Several families in the capital looked at the poorer families with envy as they ate the food given by King Xuan, and boasted about the news they had heard about King Xuan.
