Nie Feng lived in the other courtyard next to Mei Changsu. When Zhou Chen came, Xia Dong was also here, and even Mu Nihuang was also here.
Lin Chen was checking Nie Feng's body and taking notes from time to time, looking very busy.
Although Nie Feng chose the second solution, which does not require thorough peeling and bone crushing, it still requires a special method to remove toxins. However, it is not possible to completely remove the toxins in the body like peeling and crushing the bones. It is more about removing a part of the body.
, the remaining toxicity should be kept under control.
It sounds simple, but it is not easy to do. You need to understand Nie Feng's current physical condition, and then combine the medicinal materials to formulate a treatment plan.
After Zhou Chen came in, Lin Chen had no time to talk to him. Xia Dong was focused on Nie Feng, so he just nodded to Zhou Chen, and then listened carefully to Lin Chen's words.
However, Mu Nihuang stood up, walked to Zhou Chen and said, "They are busy, let's go out and talk."
"Okay." Zhou Chen did not refuse.
Xia Dong turned to look at Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang who were walking out of the room, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang did not go far, but came to the yard outside the house and stood under a transplanted plum tree.
"I finally understand what you meant two years ago."
After a long silence, Mu Nihuang suddenly spoke first.
Zhou Chen didn't understand and asked with a confused look: "What are you talking about?"
Mu Nihuang glanced at Zhou Chen indifferently, and Zhou Chen could clearly feel dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"It was your unfinished sentence. I asked you to give me a reason to give up. I didn't understand the half of the sentence you blurted out before, but now I understand. Gong Yu is not the first time you have rejected me.
One reason, the biggest reason is that Brother Lin Shu, what you want to say is that you can't be sorry to Xiao Shu, right?"
Zhou Chen was silent. He did remember this matter. Just as Mu Nihuang guessed, his first reaction was to think of Lin Shu. Then he realized his mistake and changed it to Gong Yu.
In fact, he and Gong Yu were not together at that time, and they didn't even confess their feelings. It was more of an excuse to reject Mu Nihuang.
When Mu Nihuang saw Zhou Chen didn't speak, she knew it and her expression was bitter.
"Xiao Shu..."
"Don't worry, I, Mu Nihuang, keep my word. I will never run away like some people. I will try my best to help Brother Lin Shu fulfill his wish. This is what I owe to Brother Lin Shu. As for my
My feelings are my own, I don't need others to tell me what to do."
Zhou Chen understood what she meant and said slowly: "I understand."
Mu Nihuang's expression was cold, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. When she was a child, she loved playing with Lin Shu the most, and she never rejected their engagement.
But twelve years have passed. She does have feelings for Lin Shu, but she is more immersed in past emotions. Too many things have happened in these twelve years and everyone has changed.
So after meeting Lin Shu, she was extremely happy, but her feelings for Lin Shu were no longer as strong as they were when she was a child.
"The poison of fire and cold is so magical that it can transform you and brother Lin Shu into what you are now, as if your two bodies have been swapped."
She naturally knew Zhou Chen from twelve years ago, and because of Lin Shu, they met often, so she knew Zhou Chen's previous situation very well.
If Lin Shu was the most dazzling person in Jinling in the past, then Zhou Chen was one of those inconspicuous beings. If he wasn't from a good background, it would be difficult to integrate into their circle.
In the past, Lin Shu was a martial arts genius with a strong body, but now, he is so weak that he is not even as good as an ordinary person.
On the contrary, Zhou Chen, who was an inconspicuous person before, has now become a martial arts wizard and is even ranked among the Langya masters.
This huge contrast made Mu Nihuang sigh with emotion.
Zhou Chen said: "Lin Chen is right. In fact, I am an exception. The poison of fire and cold is the most strange poison in the world, and it is not easy to cure."
Mu Nihuang wanted to ask a few questions out of concern, but after opening her mouth, no words came out.
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward, until Lin Chen inside called Zhou Chen over.
Inside the house, Lin Chen said to Zhou Chen: "I have already discussed with General Nie and Master Xia. In two days' time it will be New Year's Eve, a day when the whole family is rejoicing, so we will not waste time and energy on detoxification, and wait until the New Year is over.
After that, slowly detoxify, what do you think?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course I have no objection. This is Brother Nie and Sister Dong's first New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in twelve years. It is really not suitable to spend it in a bucket of medicine."
"Okay, then it's settled. I will be here during the Chinese New Year this year. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we will start on the day you say we will start."
Lin Chen clapped his hands, made his decision, and then said to Zhou Chen: "When the time comes, you will have to do your best. Your medical skills and Pure Yang Jue will both be put to use."
Zhou Chen said impatiently: "Okay, how many times have you said this, are you tired of it?"
"Do you think I'm annoying? Do you know how much effort I put into detoxifying you? I'm your savior, and you still call me annoying?" Lin Chen pointed at Zhou Chen's nose and cursed.
Zhou Chen felt helpless: "Can you stop always referring to the past? Besides, it was Master who saved us back then, and you were just the one who did it."
For some reason, every time he always said not to argue with Lin Chen, but every time he heard Lin Chen chattering, he couldn't help but want to quarrel with him, as if he was being cursed.
"He is indeed a man, and he is ruthless when he turns against you, right, Princess?"
Lin Chen suddenly nodded at Mu Nihuang. Mu Nihuang nodded, but when he realized what he was doing, he was confused. Why was I nodding?
Zhou Chen was even more speechless: "I'm annoyed, it's me who's annoyed, okay? Since I'm not going to treat him right now, that's good, Xiao Shu is out. Sister Dong, are you busy?"
Xia Dong didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant, but still said: "I'm not busy, what's wrong?"
"If I'm not busy, I'll have just the right number of people, how about two cards?"
Xia Dong's eyes lit up and he replied without hesitation: "Okay, Nihuang, what about you?"
Ever since she won money at Zhou Chen's house, she has been very enthusiastic about playing mahjong, and occasionally she would ask Mu Nihuang to join four people to play a few cards.
Mu Nihuang said: "I have nothing to do, okay."
Lin Chen was confused after hearing this and asked eagerly: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?"
"Play majiang."
"Is it the mahjong that was spread a few days ago?"
Lin Chen looked surprised. When he was traveling before, he heard some businessmen talking about mahjong, but he had never seen it before.
Xia Dong said: "It's a pastime game developed by your junior brother, Xiaochen. It's not only interesting, but also allows you to gamble money. It's easy to learn."
Zhou Chen asked with a smile: "How about it, my good senior brother, do you want to play a few games?"
Lin Chen shook his hair and said loudly: "It's so interesting to hear what you said, of course I'm going to finish it, but you have to teach me how to play it first."
So, Zhou Chen brought mahjong, and the four of them started playing mahjong in Nie Feng's room, while the furry Nie Feng sat behind Xia Dong with a confused look on his face, looking at the four people in a daze.
Beat these blocks.
Until Mei Changsu came back from Yanhou's house in the evening and saw Zhou Chen and four others playing mahjong here, he rolled his eyes even though he had the calmness he had learned over the years.
Okay, I, the patient, ran around to do some work, and you guys played mahjong at home.
Then, he just squeezed out Lin Chen, who had lost a lot of money, and sat on the card table by himself.
During dinner, both Xia Dong and Lin Chen looked ugly. Xia Dong was okay, she didn't lose much, but Lin Chen stared at Zhou Chen with murderous eyes.
Most of the money he lost today was given to Zhou Chen, and most of the money Zhou Chen won was his. If Mei Changsu hadn't helped him make some money later, he would have lost even more miserably.
"Junior brother, you can even win money from me, a beginner, you are so ruthless." Lin Chen said through gritted teeth.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "I'm willing to admit defeat. How about some gambling? I'm not forcing you to play."
Lin Chen pointed at Zhou Chen angrily: "You wait with me until I think it over, and see if I don't win all your money."
"Ha, I'll wait."
Xia Dong quietly asked Mei Changsu: "Xiao Shu, have they always been like this?"
Mei Changsu explained with a smile: "Yes, they have been like this since they met. Don't look at it now, it seems that Xiao Chen is bullying Lin Chen, but in the past, Xiao Chen was tortured very badly by him."
Mu Nihuang blinked and asked curiously: "Why is it so miserable?"
Mei Changsu said: "When we first went to Langya Mountain, Pavilion Master Lin and Lin Chen were responsible for helping me and Xiao Chen detoxify. At that time, the two of us were just puppets on strings, letting them play with them. At that time, Lin Chen always
He was teasing us, but Xiao Chen was not willing to be outdone, and kept quarreling with him every time. Lin Chen got so angry that he attacked Zhou Chen."
"As for how miserable it is, I can only say that it is extremely miserable. Even if I sleep well at night, he will come over to scare Xiao Chen. In Xiao Chen's words, Lin Chen has no bottom line. For example, once it was more exaggerated, Lin Chen didn't
After quarreling with Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen went to the latrine. In order to retaliate against Xiao Chen, he actually burned the latrine. What's more important is that in that scene..., he was later chased and beaten by Pavilion Master Lin for a long time."
"Pfft!"
Xia Dong and Mu Nihuang almost burst out laughing.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Mei Changsu smiled and said: "Of course, it is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Chen was bullied by Lin Chen for several years, but ever since Xiao Chen surpassed Lin Chen in martial arts, the relationship between the two of them has reversed.
Instead, Chen became the one being bullied. In terms of making fun of others, Lin Chen and Xiao Chen were not on the same level."
"The reason why Lin Chen always quarrels with Zhou Chen is not because he really wants to do something. The main reason is that he didn't even talk to many people in Langya Mountain before, and Xiao Chen happened to be able to talk to him, so
He especially likes to play with Xiaochen. To describe it in one sentence, they are like each other."
Mu Nihuang couldn't help but smile, because she suddenly thought of Zhou Chen and her younger brother Mu Qing. The most appropriate way to describe them was to describe them as having similar odors.
After dinner, Mei Changsu said to everyone: "Brother Nie and Xiao Chen will spend New Year's Eve at my place this year. Sister Dong, will you come too?"
Xia Dong replied without hesitation: "Of course, wherever Brother Feng is, I will be there."
Mei Changsu nodded and said: "But you should be more careful when you come here. Don't let others find out. I am now openly helping King Yu. If people know that you often come to my place, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble."
trouble."
Xia Dong said: "Don't worry about this. I have been in the Xuanjing Division for so many years, and no one in the capital has been able to track me without being discovered by me."
Mei Changsu had no problem with Mu Nihuang, because he knew that it was unrealistic for Mu Nihuang to come over. Prince Mu's Mansion would involve the emperor giving food to him, so Mu Nihuang would definitely not be able to leave Prince Mu's Mansion on New Year's Eve.
In the evening, Zhou Chen, Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong left the Su Mansion. Zhou Chen left alone, while Mu Nihuang went with Xia Dong.
On the other side, Princess Pingyang was relieved when she learned that Zhou Chen had returned safely. She didn't know where Zhou Chen had gone, and she didn't care where Zhou Chen went. As long as Zhou Chen came back safely, she would feel at ease.
.
After Mei Changsu talked with Yanhou, he asked Meng Zhi to remove Yanhou's arrangements, and the year-end ceremony was successfully completed.
New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve as the saying goes.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhou Chen called over Butler Lu, the concierge, the cook, the groom and three maids.
A few months have passed, and the Zhou Mansion has added several new servants. This means that his house is relatively small, otherwise, there would be more servants.
Zhou Chen sat in the main seat, Gong Yu was beside him, and Butler Lu and other servants stood in two rows, facing Zhou Chen and the others.
"Today is New Year's Eve. My wife and I are going out to visit friends later. You can move around freely today. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who don't want to can stay. But no matter where you go, you will come back after the third day of the new year.
."
"Although we haven't been together for long, I see everything you do and I won't treat you badly if you work for me."
Zhou Chen pointed to the tray next to him and said: "Steward Lu, these are the red envelopes for you. You give them to them one by one. It's not much, it's just a token of your gratitude."
Butler Lu took the lead, and everyone shouted: "Thank you, sir, thank you, madam."
"In addition to these rewards, Madam has also prepared some New Year's goods for you, including purple jade and blue jade. You two will give them the New Year's goods later. You can go down now."
"yes!"
Zhou Chen looked at Butler Lu's back. Originally, he wanted to tell Butler Lu something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
After handling the affairs at home, Zhou Chen took Gong Yu to the Su Mansion. After arriving, he discovered that Xia Dong had arrived one step ahead of him and was chatting with Nie Feng, while Mei Changsu was sitting in the room.
, carefully wrapped the money in red envelopes, and prepared to give out red envelopes to everyone in the evening.
Seeing Zhou Chen and Gong Yu arriving, Mei Changsu happily came forward to greet them.
"You are finally here. Speaking of which, in recent years, this year's number of people watching the New Year's Eve is probably the least."
We used to celebrate the New Year together at the Jiangzuo League headquarters, and many people would gather together, but it was not very convenient in the capital.
However, although the number of people is smaller, the relationship is much closer. This year is also the happiest and happiest year for Mei Changsu in recent years.
Zhou Chen said: "It doesn't matter whether there are many people or few people to stay up late on New Year's Eve. What's important is family affection and reunion."
"That's right. It's really nice that Brother Nie and Sister Dong can stay with us this year. I'm getting red envelopes. Do you want to help me?"
"You are the sect leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance and the head of the clan. I am just the deputy sect leader and I don't care about anything. You can do the work of giving out red envelopes."
Zhou Chen knew his situation. He only took the name of deputy sect leader, but actually never participated in the management of the Jiangzuo League. Even most of the disciples of the Jiangzuo League did not know his true identity as the deputy sect leader.
"Then you can take Gong Yu to talk to Brother Nie and Sister Dong, or you can play cards. When dinner is ready, we can have dinner together."
"You should be busy here. I'll take Gong Yu out for a walk. Today is New Year's Eve, so it must be very lively outside."
Zhou Chen took Gong Yu and walked out. Mei Changsu smiled and did not stop him. He knew that Zhou Chen was so lively and it was really boring to stay here.
In fact, Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, and he is not a person who particularly likes to join in the fun. It is just his first time traveling through ancient feudal society. Although he has lived for more than ten years, he is still full of novelties about this era, especially the festivals in Jinling City.
The breath, he really couldn't wait to experience it.
