Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 154 A Woman with a Different Flavor
The weather in early March is just like that of winter, and spring has just arrived. The climate should have become warmer, but because the Jiangnan area is close to the sea, it is still very cold, so you need to dress more appropriately when traveling.

Early in the morning, a carriage took a detour from the alley behind the inn and headed towards the east of the city.

I lifted the curtain slightly and looked at the scene in Suzhou city. It was the morning market, and there were quite a few people coming and going. Most of the shops on both sides of the road were open.

The slightly chilly wind blowing on the street could not dampen the enthusiasm of the merchants. The pedestrians had smiles on their faces and were wearing fine fabrics, which was enough to illustrate the prosperity of Jiangnan.

This is even better than Kyoto.

This is the case in Suzhou, let alone Hangzhou, another major place in the south of the Yangtze River.

Business is indeed the fastest way to promote local development.

Just over ten years ago, the establishment of Neiku brought endless wealth and freedom to Jiangnan.

Such a good place naturally has no shortage of martial artists from all over the world. Jiangnan is well-known for its martial arts conferences and many martial arts schools. As spring goes and summer comes, you can always hear the cheers of the people on the streets and rivers.

The eldest princess has kept countless people of this kind. The huge Junshan Society has absorbed most of the martial artists, all of whom were recruited by the eldest princess with the money from the inner treasury.

The Junshan Society naturally also includes disloyal elements who hope that the Qing Kingdom will split, such as Ku He, Si Gu Jian and other masters.

I don’t know how the princess contacted them, but facing a crazy woman like this, I guess no one would be unwilling to come in and help her and let her go crazy.

Although the eldest princess always had her brother in her heart and helped him in many things, when she was discouraged, she did not mind using her power to change the dynasty.

So she is a madman, a contradictory madman.

Even Emperor Qing couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Apart from them, the rest are the princess's followers, the Northern Border Commander Yan Xiaoyi, the Second Prince who cooperates in smuggling, and Ye Liuyun who plays Infernal Affairs. Even the Qin family is secretly involved. You can imagine how powerful they are.

Lin Ruo wondered whether the princess would use the power of the Junshan Society to do her utmost to take his life in Jiangnan.

It's difficult, but the eldest princess is happy to do anything that will cost her life.

Fan Ruoruo had a faint sadness on her face. She didn't pay attention to the excitement outside the car. She pinched her hands and said, "Sir, if Ruoruo goes there, will she have to stay there for a long time?"

"Learning medicine is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. It is normal to spend more time. At least in the few months in Jiangnan, you will definitely learn a lot of skills if you stay there and study hard."

"Why can't we..." Fan Ruoruo hesitated to speak. She naturally wanted to go early and come back late, but her husband wanted to compete with the Ming family, so he was probably afraid that keeping her by his side would be too risky, for safety reasons.

So Ruoruo shut up obediently. If she stayed with her husband every day, she would not be able to devote herself to studying medicine.

"I will come to see you often and check your learning results. With your comprehension and a good teacher, you should be able to learn quickly." Lin Ruo said gently.

Fan Ruoruo finally felt a little comforted. Studying medicine is a lonely thing, and adaptation is the best outcome.

"Who is that doctor?" Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment and asked again.

"That doctor is very young." Lin Ruo replied, "He is not from Nanqing."

Fan Ruoruo was a little surprised, but she thought to herself that it made sense. She really couldn't think of any hidden great doctor in the south of Qing Kingdom.

The best medical skills in Qing Kingdom, apart from Mr. Fei from the Supervisory Council, are from the Imperial Hospital which gathers the most talented people from all over the world, and it is difficult for them to leave.

"How does that compare to Mr. Fei?"

Lin Ruo smiled meaningfully: "Do you know that there is a green mountain in Beiqi?" Fan Ruoruo read a lot of books in the world, and after a little thought, he said: "It is the place where the Tianyi Dao Gate is located, and where Master Ku He practiced hard."

Lin Ruo nodded: "Ku He and Si Gu Jian, the former built Tianyi Dao and the latter opened Jian Lu, both are rare holy places in the world, but there are still many differences between the two."

"Ku He accepted many disciples, and cultivated the mind. Si Gu Jian accepted only thirteen disciples, and cultivated the sword."

"What does the word 'heart' mean?" Fan Ruoruo grasped the key point.

"The heart naturally emphasizes following one's heart. Ku He does not require his disciples to practice martial arts wholeheartedly, but advocates learning what they like."

"For example, Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of Northern Qi, can you believe that she planted a vegetable garden for several years while practicing martial arts?" Lin Ruo answered.

Fan Ruoruo understood and continued, "So this doctor is a disciple of Master Ku He?"

Lin Ruo nodded again: "That's right, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune and lives in seclusion in the mountains for many years, so he is not well known."

As the two were talking, the carriage had already entered Fulu Lane and stopped outside a courtyard planted with willow trees.

Lin Ruo got off the car first, shook hands with Ruo Ruo, and continued: "This man is Ku He's second disciple, his last name is Mu and his name is Peng. He should be around 40 years old and can be considered one of the top three doctors in the world."

"Mupeng is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Just by hearing it, you can tell that it is very good at medicine." Fan Ruoruo said with a smile.

Lin Ruo led her and said as they walked: "Yes, Lang Tao sounds murderous. Master Ku He always has obvious literal meanings when he names her."

Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but smile again. She was in a very good mood. Thinking of the Saintess of Northern Qi who had some ambiguity with her brother, she asked, "What about Haitang? What does it literally mean?"

"Gentle love, resolute character." Lin Ruo blurted out, and then he became a little skeptical, "Maybe it is not very suitable to describe this open-minded and wild Saint of Northern Qi."

Lin Ruo walked up the stone steps and stopped, then knocked on the door. There was no time to wait, as someone was already waiting behind the door to open the gate.

She was a woman of ordinary appearance, dressed in knight's clothes, but she did not have the slightest chivalrous spirit.

She folded her arms, looking like a lazy country girl, but her eyes were unusually bright and lively.

"Did Fan Xian say that to you about me?" the woman said resentfully.

Lin Ruo nodded unconsciously. He was not surprised by the appearance of this person.

The woman snorted, without moving her upper body, but dragging her lower body as she walked, folding her hands and going back to the yard.

It was the first time that Fan Ruoruo saw such a strange walking posture. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but she held it back because of etiquette.

"Sir, do you know this girl?" Fan Ruoruo heard her mention her brother's name.

"Didn't you just mention him?" Lin Ruo smiled and followed him up.

Fan Ruoruo was stunned. It turned out that this was the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi. She was completely different from the beautiful appearance she had imagined in her mind.

Fan Ruoruo still remembers that her brother praised the Holy Lady of Northern Qi for her unique charm after returning to Beijing. Now that she thinks about it, this is what he meant. She does have an extraordinary charm.

She thought she was the type that was as beautiful as a fairy.
