"Good boy." Xin Nianyan nodded with a smile and patted his head.

"I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you doing, sister?"

When he said this, he looked at Xin Nianyan without blinking.

The swarthy child has become much fairer after being raised in Zhuangzi for half a year, and his eyebrows have grown longer, making him look somewhat handsome.

But when she stared directly at Xin Nianyan, she actually felt a little aggrieved.

It seemed that he was not only asking whether she was doing well, but also why she hadn't come to see him for half a year.

"Sister is very good." Xin Nianyan coughed, "I have been a little busy some time ago. I will take more time to see you in the future."

"Really?" Even after half a year of Hanfeng's teaching, Wang Mo's character and emotions had already changed a lot.

But when I heard her say this, I couldn't help but beam with joy and smile.

"Of course, when did my sister lie to you?"

Compared to his youthful and mature appearance, Xin Nianyan still liked his current appearance better and couldn't help but pinch the child's cheek.

"Yeah, then it's settled!"

Wang Mo narrowed his eyes with joy. He knew in his heart that the master also wanted to see his sister, but the master never said it.

Xin Nianyan was infected by his smile and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.

Under the setting sun, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled, adding a warm light to the eerie and dark cabinet.

…

Early the next morning.

After Xin Nianyan finished arranging the housekeeping affairs of the house, he went in the direction of Yanhualin.

Because I went to bed late to settle accounts at night, I was a little sleepy and took a nap in the carriage.

This road was not too far away. Xin Nianyan's coachman had been there many times and was already familiar with the road. He quickly parked the car at the entrance of Yanhualin's Medicine House.

"Miss, we are here."

Xiaozhu shook Xin Nianyan, and then she opened her eyes, stretched her stiff body and got out of the car.

"Good morning, Miss Xin."

The boy sweeping the door was already familiar with her carriage and saluted her and said hello.

Xin Nianyan nodded slightly and looked inside. There was no one around at this point. There was smoke coming from the kitchen, so they were probably still cooking.

"Is the miracle doctor here?"

"Sir, please come in, sir."

The little boy used the broom to lead Xin Nianyan into the house.

Xin Nianyan walked in with ease and saw Ning Wuji drinking a bowl of porridge in front of the stone table in the courtyard and flipping through a book in his hand.

"Here we come." He raised his eyes and glanced at Xin Nianyan with a casual expression: "Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll leave it for a while."

"I've eaten. Thank you, the miracle doctor."

Xin Nianyan was not interested in his white porridge at all and declined.

Ning Wuji put down the porridge in his hand, took the kid's handkerchief and wiped his mouth, picked up the books on the table, turned around and led Xin Nianyan into the study.

The two sat down opposite each other at the desk, and Ning Wuji pushed the book in his hand to Xin Nianyan.

Xin Nianyan looked suspiciously and took the book and took a look at it.

"This is something belonging to the Xilin royal family. It was translated just two days ago. You can take it and read it. It will suit you very well."

Xin Nianyan opened the book and scanned it casually, and found a book that talked about how to classify smells, remember smells, and distinguish information from smells.

"Thank you, miracle doctor, for taking the trouble." She closed the book and thanked her sincerely.

"Consider considering me as your disciple?" Ning Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked the question again.

Xin Nianyan's expression remained as usual. She had long been used to his words and refused without hesitation: "I won't consider it."

As he spoke, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve.

"If you don't want to beg me, I won't. I won't charge you." Ning Wuji, who was used to being rejected by her, waved his hand.

Although Xin Nianyan didn't let go, she didn't fall behind on what she should learn.

After half a year of contact, he had already regarded Xin Nianyan as his apprentice. The master passed down the inheritance to his apprentice, so how could there be any reason to charge money?

"I didn't give it to you." Xin Nianyan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "You didn't buy a set of clothes in my store yesterday, this is the remaining money."

"Eight hundred taels of clothes, I'll give you two hundred taels."

Ning Wuji just accepted the banknote, his expression froze for a moment.

"Did she...accept it?"

Xin Nianyan chuckled, as if he had seen through everything.

"No wonder you ran so fast yesterday because you were afraid of being rejected?"

Ning Wuji coughed and rubbed the tip of his nose when she pointed out the painful spot.

"Don't answer questions you don't mean."

Xin Nianyan stopped teasing him and replied calmly: "I'll take it."

However, before Ning Wuji had time to be happy, she added another sentence.

"I said if she rejects you, she will come with me to find you today."

Xin Nianyan shrugged, "As soon as she heard that she was coming to see you, she simply accepted it and asked me to thank you on her behalf."

Ning Wuji: "..."

I didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy for a while.

"How did you and Han Lu meet, and what's their relationship?"

Xin Nianyan didn't care what his expression was, she just wanted to eat her own melon and asked with interest.

Ning Wuji paused, "So her name is Han Lu."

Xin Nianyan: "?"

No, I gave you eight hundred taels of clothes. Brother, you don’t even know their name?

"Do you two really know each other?"

"What did she tell you?"

The two said in unison.

Xin Nianyan sighed and answered proactively: "She said your poisonous snake bit her, and then you saved her, so we got to know each other."

"You also said that you gave her Mozhu just because you felt guilty for her."

Xin Nianyan held her face up and observed the change in his expression.

Ning Wuji frowned, then relaxed his brows and sighed softly.

"That's what she said, and that's what it is."

Xin Nianyan: "?"

Does this look like she understands it?

"My poisonous snake did bite her, and I do feel guilty."

"Go back, remember to read carefully, and if you don't understand anything, come and ask me."

Ning Wuji seemed not to want to talk anymore and started to chase people away.

Xin Nianyan came out of the study with an inexplicable look on her face, and left Yanhualin with a book in her pocket.

Can the Riddler get out of Kyoto?

Forget it, she can always find it in Feiyan Pavilion.

…

However, this investigation lasted nearly three months.

From mid-summer to mid-summer, Xin Nianyan started drawing designs for autumn clothes, when news came from Feiyan Pavilion.

Yanyunyuan.

Xin Nianyan was sitting at the desk in front of the window, recalling the styles of autumn clothes in her previous life, and planning to write.

There was a knock at the door, and she looked sideways and saw Xiao Zhu stepping in.

"Miss, the cold wind is coming."

"Why is he here?" Xin Nianyan put down his pen, "Let him come in."

She had almost forgotten her eagerness to eat melons three months ago, so much so that she thought Hanfeng came to her because Feiyan Pavilion was short of money.

Hanfeng untied the saber at the door and handed it to Shan Jiu before stepping into the living room to meet Xin Nianyan.

"Hanfeng has seen Miss."

"No need to be polite." Xin Nianyan looked at him and said, "Come to me personally, but you have something wrong?"

"The matter that Miss asked my subordinates to investigate some time ago has come to fruition." As he said that, Hanfeng took out a piece of letterhead from his arms and handed it to Xiaozhu.

Xiaozhu took it and handed it to Xin Nianyan.

Only then did Xin Nianyan remember that he had gone to Feiyan Pavilion to ask them to check Hanlu's life experience.
