"Ruozhi and I have known each other since childhood. We were not childhood sweethearts, but we had similar interests. At that time, she only knew how to collect medicines and was not good at medicine. Maybe I gave her some inspiration later and started to study medicine. I
When I dressed up as Dr. Zi, I was building a connection with her. She also remembered that I was the little brother at that time. I do have some interest in her. After all, she is beautiful, smart, and sensitive.
She is eager to learn and is kind to others. Which man wouldn't like such a woman." Xian Jianlan slowly told him from beginning to end.
"Indeed, she has actually deceived me with a fake birthmark for so many years. I never doubted that the birthmark was fake. I was so stupid!" Huang Chenling couldn't help but press her handsome face with both hands as she listened and said bitterly.
"Hehe, she did this to reduce unnecessary trouble. If she used her appearance to seduce men and satisfy her needs like those beautiful women, I guess you wouldn't fall in love with her. Since she has chosen
You, I won’t think too much about it. As for taking care of her, I saw that she is very obsessed with medical skills and works several times harder than ordinary people. Of course I will not waste such a good talent and train her to become a peerless healer.
, I will finally live up to my master’s medical skills." Xian Jiannan said with a chuckle.
"Is the reason that simple?" Huang Chenling asked again, feeling that he still had something to hide.
Xian Jianluo's tone calmed down and continued: "When she gave birth to Xiaoling, she happened to help a woman with dystocia deliver the baby. I was not present at the time. Later, I heard her own description that she first rescued the woman and the child, and then
She gave birth to Xiao Ling by herself. I admire her persistence in saving people, her calmness in the face of danger, and her good luck. If she was not lucky enough, she would have been in danger of giving birth to Xiao Ling herself. At that time, I was thinking that she still needed someone by my side.
The person who took care of her was better, and he lived with her and Xiaoling like this for seven years."
"Thank you. Thank you for taking care of her mother and son over the years. I really can't repay you." Huang Chenling closed the back of her hand and thanked Xian Jianque.
"You don't need to thank me, I just want to have a useful apprentice. And with Xiaoling accompanying me for so many years, I feel that life is a lot more interesting, hahaha." Xianjian Nuo said with a smile.
"Uncle Xian, it turns out you are here and why I have to go around looking for you!" Xiao Ling ran back angrily.
"I should be looking for you, little guy. You don't even take medicine and you are avoiding me. I will definitely tell your mother when she comes back." Xian Jiannuo pulled Xiao Ling to his side and lectured.
"Don't tell her! She will boil more bitter medicine for me to drink. Don't tell her, I will just drink it later." Xiao Ling immediately begged for mercy.
"Pfft...are you also so afraid of the bitter medicine your mother cooked? Is it really bitter?" Huang Chenling was amused by him and laughed.
Xiao Ling nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Wow! That is simply more bitter than the taste of Coptis chinensis, Sophora flavescens, Tonkinensis root, Gentian, Coptidis Coptidis, Nux vomica, and Andrographis paniculata mixed together."
Huang Chenling asked casually and found out Xiaoling's intelligence. He was so young but he knew the names of medicinal materials. He was worthy of being his son.
"Come here and let me give you a hug." Huang Chenling waved to him.
"Okay." Xiao Ling went over very happily and immediately occupied Huang Chenling's arms.
Xian Jianlan smiled, stood up and said, "I'm going to get the medicine to come over. You're in my eldest sister's arms. Don't slip away again."
"I know." Xiao Ling said lazily, leaning against Huang Chenling's arms.
At this time, Yan Ruocheng was rushing back. She had played with Huang Chenling all night last night, and she didn't know if Xiaoling was going to bother her. So she bought osmanthus cake and candied haws to coax him.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Ling sitting on Xian Jianlan's lap, obediently drinking the bitter medicine. Normally he might not be willing to drink it if coaxed to him, but today he was so smooth.
"Eh? Xiaoling drank the medicinal soup so well today, you will be rewarded after drinking it." Yan Ruozhen walked over with a smile and shook the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and candied haws in his hand in front of him.
Xiaoling looked at her favorite dessert and quickly drank the soup in one big gulp. She couldn't wait and clamored to eat it: "Wow, mother gave it to me, hahaha, it's all what I like to eat."
Yan Ruocheng handed it to him with a smile, and Xiao Ling was very satisfied with the candied haws and ate it non-stop.
Xian Jianlan coughed beside him and said, "Ahem, just buy it for him. Don't you need to buy my share?"
"Brother Xian, of course I have to make it myself. What kind of pastries do you like?" Yan Ruocheng asked coaxingly.
"Black and white glutinous rice cake, with black sesame filling inside, not too sweet, glutinous and fragrant." Xian Jianlan said easily.
"Brother Xian, you are really greedy, let me do it." After Yan Ruocheng finished speaking, he went to the kitchen.
Xian Jiannuo knocked on the bottom of the table and said to Huang Chenling under the table: "She has gone far, she can come out."
While eating candied haws, Xiaoling came over and asked, "Sister, why are you hiding from my mother?"
Huang Chenling crawled out and explained nonsensically: "I'm afraid your mother would also cook bitter medicine for me to drink, so I have to hide like you."
"Well, big sister, hurry up and leave here while my mother goes to the kitchen. Go to a safe place. Take this osmanthus cake and eat it." Xiao Ling said as if she was saying goodbye, she took a piece of the osmanthus cake in her hand.
He handed the bag to Huang Chenling.
Huang Chenling only took a piece of osmanthus cake with a smile, gently pushed his little hand back, and said: "Thank you, Xiaoling, one piece is enough for me. Next time I come to play with you, don't tell your mother.
I've been here."
"I know, let's keep it secret by hooking our fingers." Xiaoling stretched out her little finger to play with him.
"Well, hook your fingers." Huang Chenling knelt down, followed his wishes, hooked her fingers, and kissed his forehead.
Xiao Lingye kissed him on the side of his face in return.
Huang Chenling touched Xiaoling's head, stood up and said to Xian Jianluo, "I'll come back next time. Say goodbye."
Xian Jianlan nodded in response.
At noon, Yan Ruocheng took the over-cooked glutinous rice cakes to the drug store to open a stall.
Not long after she opened her shop, Huang Chenling came out of nowhere and entered her shop.
"What medicinal materials are we going to prepare today?" He offered to help her.
"Don't worry, eat the glutinous rice cake and then pound it slowly." Yan Ruocheng went into the inner shop to make a pot of tea and made tea for him.
"Did you make the glutinous rice cake?" Huang Chenling came over and took a piece to taste. It was not sweet in the mouth, but it was glutinous and fragrant. Just like how she wiped off the fake birthmark, it was sweet and delicious. He ate while
Smilingly recalling her beauty.
"Why do you smile so treacherously?" Yan Ruocheng approached his face and asked doubtfully.
Huang Chenling came back to her senses and couldn't help but kiss her forehead in a moment.
Yan Ruocheng pushed him and warned: "You are dressed as a woman now. If passers-by see you, you will scare them!"
"If you're scared, just be scared. Who cares? We just played for a while last night and were exhausted. Let's continue tonight." Huang Chenling said enthusiastically.
"Who wants to play with you? I drank too much last night and I was in a state of confusion so I played with you. You painted my face like black charcoal and I haven't finished my anger yet!" Yan Ruocheng
Pretend to be angry and say it.
"Who told me that you vomited all over my body last night, made me wash my body with cold water in the middle of the night, and almost gave me a cold?" Huang Chenling said, pretending to be aggrieved.
"I, I'm vomiting, are there any signs of cold now?" Yan Ruocheng was very concerned about his body. When he heard what he said, he held his wrist and took his pulse.
Huang Chenling immediately pretended to cough a few times and said: "Ahem... After eating these glutinous rice cakes, my throat is a little dry. There may be signs of cold."
"No, your pulse is normal. But to be on the safe side, you should take some cold pills." She said and went to the medicine box to get the pills for him to take.
But Huang Chenling said in a desperate manner: "The pills are very bitter, I want you to feed them to me one by one with your mouth."
Yan Ruocheng narrowed his eyes, pushed his head down with brute force, poured the pill directly into his mouth, and punched him in the stomach, making him swallow it directly.
Huang Chenling pretended to press her belly, shook her fingers, pointed at her, and said: "You treated me so roughly, it hurt me so much..."
Yan Ruozhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Stop pretending, I won't hurt you even if I try hard."
"I have an old problem here. You just hit a vital point. It really hurts." Huang Chenling continued to pretend, thinking: My little cutie, you can't fight me.
"No way? Let me take a look." Yan Ruocheng started to be fooled again and went over to check his belly.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Wherever she pressed, Huang Chenling casually screamed in pain.
"Are you really in pain, or are you in fake pain?"
"Is it an old pain, is it fake?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's go to the inner shop and help you take a look."
Yan Ruocheng dragged him into the inner bunk and immediately took off his clothes to check his stomach.
The fingertips gently scratched his flat belly, and there was indeed an obvious scar on his belly.
"How on earth did you fight in the war? You have scars all over your body, even on your stomach." She said angrily.
Huang Chenling thought it was funny that she asked. It would be natural to get injured in a battle, and it was normal to have scars. It seemed that she still cared about the fact that he had scars all over his body.
He stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said dotingly: "In order to meet you again, even if I leave scars, I can't die on the battlefield. I still want to see you well and hold you. Fortunately, I
There are no big scars on my handsome face, otherwise you might even dislike my handsome face."
"Irregular." Yan Ruocheng tapped his chest and hugged him tightly. The two of them hugged quietly in the inner bunk.
The day passed very quickly. Huang Chenling and Yan Ruocheng were in the shop, playing with each other ambiguously and flirting until dusk.
After the two of them packed up the medicinal materials and closed the shop, they went to the market hand in hand to buy some cheap vegetables and meat for cooking.
Huang Chenling looked at the father-in-law and mother-in-law walking beside each other, supporting each other, and said to Yan Ruocheng: "Ruocheng, do you think we look like an old couple now?"
"It doesn't look like a pair of old sisters." Yan Ruocheng said jokingly.
"Then you are the elder sister, and I will be the younger sister." Huang Chenling teased her.
"How do I look older than you? Do you think I'm old now?" Yan Ruocheng pinched his arm and said.
"Oh, I'm joking, you pinch me at every turn. You and I have never grown old. We are a perfect couple, a fairy and a fairy. We are the envy of others. Is that okay?" Huang Chenling said even more jokingly.
"That's pretty much it. Why don't you buy some paper and ink for drawing pictures? I want His Highness to draw a picture for us. Even if you go to the Jade Kingdom, I can take a look at it." Yan Ruocheng suddenly said with thought.
"You really know how to torment the emperor's brother. He's still injured. Why do you want him to work so hard? I'll do the painting." Huang Chenling said in disagreement.
