Jiao Niang's Medical Sutra

In the curtains on Tianjie Street, Mrs. Chen and Chen Shao are both there. Unlike the women and children who are watching the lanterns outside, they prefer to be clean.

When Cheng Jiaoniang came in, the father and son were guarding the chessboard and fighting inextricably.

Across a screen, I heard the chatter and laughter of the female relatives over there.

"...Chang Qingnu replied that it was a Yama, and Guo Yi was very happy when he heard it. He thought that he was wrong yesterday, but he has grown up today, so he asked who taught you? Chang Qingnu remembered what his sister-in-law said, and said It was taught by brother, and Guo Yi asked where is your brother now? Chang Qingnu said that he was at home, and Guo Yi asked what your brother was doing at home? Chang Qingnu said that my brother was giving birth to a son in the house, and you Lying on the bed..."【Note 1】

Old Mrs. Chen burst out laughing.

There was also laughter on the other side of the screen.

Chen Danniang smiled and hugged Cheng Niangzi's arm, tears came out.

Needless to say, the Chen Shibaniang sisters laughed together.

"It's something I've learned from before, and I'm not looking like an elder!" Mrs. Chen covered her mouth with one hand and smiled while pointing at Mrs. Qin with the other.

More and more girls from outside squeezed in, repeating what they didn't hear, and laughing one after another.

Amid all the laughter, Cheng Jiaoniang, who was sitting upright, looked very awkward with a blank expression.

"Miss Cheng." Mrs. Qin looked at her with a smile, "Isn't it funny?"

"It's not funny." Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and said.

Mrs. Qin was stunned, but then laughed again.

"It's so funny, why don't you think it's not funny?" She said, "Tell me something funny."

"I won't." Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head and said.

"Ms. Cheng, you are not good at this. You are young. You don't like to talk or laugh." Mrs. Qin laughed.

Mrs. Chen coughed lightly.

"Don't be familiar with yourself, say anything." She reminded in a low voice.

This Cheng lady is not the women who surround you in the past, who are proud of letting you make jokes.

When the time comes, I'll dump your face, not a favor, but a grudge.

"My words are not malicious, Madam Cheng will not be unhappy." Mrs. Qin naturally understood her kindness, smiled and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang, "I'll tell you another one. It will definitely make you laugh..."

"Okay mother." Qin Shisanlang couldn't help interrupting her.

All eyes in the room were on him.

Because of the good family, Qin Shisanlang also came in and sat in front of the curtain.

"What you say may not be very funny, everyone cheers." He laughed, "Some people tell jokes on purpose, but they can still make people laugh."

Here he goes.Thinking of Cheng Jiaoniang's slip of the tongue in Desheng Building, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When he smiled, the maid sitting behind naturally knew what he was talking about, so she couldn't help but giggled immediately, then hurriedly stopped laughing, and looked at Qin Shisanlang with a bit of annoyance.

The women in the curtain were confused by his inexplicable smile.

"That's true. Thirteenth Lang, you made yourself laugh before you said it." Chen Shibaniang laughed.

There was laughter again in the room.

Mrs. Qin also laughed.Covering her mouth with a fan, Mimi looked at Qin Shisanlang and Cheng Jiaoniang respectively, and Mimi smiled more and more.

"Miss Cheng, come and sit here."

In the laughter, old master Chen's voice came from behind the screen.

"Old master, you insist on breaking up the conversation between us girls." Mrs. Qin laughed.

"Ms. Cheng is not an ordinary woman. What you say. She doesn't like to hear it. Why don't you come and play chess with me." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Thirteenth Qin frowned slightly.Watching Cheng Jiaoniang get up.

"Go." Mrs. Qin smiled first, "I'll take you back later."

"Hey, there's no reason for that." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Doesn't our family even have a carriage for giving people away?"

"You are only allowed to repay your kindness. You must give us a chance." Mrs. Qin said, standing up, pointing to the maidservant behind her, "You stay and take good care of Mrs. Cheng."

The maid answered yes with a smile.

Everyone got up to see off the guests, and Qin Shisanlang stepped out first.

"Why are you doing this? It's useless." Mrs. Chen said in a low voice.

"No fee, how do you know it's a waste?" Mrs. Qin laughed softly, "It's the first time I've seen someone who doesn't laugh at my jokes, and I don't believe in making her laugh."

Mrs. Chen gave her a reproachful look.

Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and patted her hand with a fan and left.

The female relatives seemed to be standing outside the curtain to watch the street scene, and the curtain became quiet.

When Cheng Jiaoniang came in, Mrs. Chen and Chen Shao were still guarding the chessboard and fighting inextricably.

"Let's play chess for a while, be quiet, it's better than any joke." Old Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Each has its own advantages." Cheng Jiaoniang said, and sat down beside her.

"Ms. Cheng never seems to have any complaints." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Because there is nothing to complain about." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "In the end, all wishes come true."

This is really blunt.

How dare you say that.

But if you think about it carefully, she has always been like this.

People have resentment only when they fail to achieve what they want, for example, themselves?

At first, everyone was worried that Mrs. Cheng would not come to their house, but now it seems that why would she not come?

Although she hit a wall with him, she still achieved her wish. She is not a poor person who needs to be comforted, but a victor who is feared by others.

Chen Shao's hand paused slightly, and the white piece in his hand was a little out of place.

Old Master Chen laughed and didn't speak any more, even while he was talking, he never took his eyes off the chessboard.

The chessboard has reached a stalemate, and the time for the father and son to make moves is getting longer and longer.

Old Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment holding the sunspot, shook his head, looked away from the chessboard, and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.

"Miss, do you remember how to play chess?" He asked, "Do you think I still have a chance to win?"

Cheng Jiaoniang looked at the chessboard, stretched out her hand to pick up a sunspot, and dropped it without thinking.

"Win," she said, withdrawing her hand.

Old Master Chen and Chen Shao both looked at the chessboard.His face was shocked.

Sure enough, this horizontal kill made a piece, causing the chessboard to suddenly change, the winner loses, and the loser wins.

Chen Shao looked at the chessboard for a moment and smiled wryly.

"Miss, when you make a move next time, can you say hello?" He said meaningfully, "My half-day effort was wasted."

"It's not my fault." Cheng Jiaoniang said with a slight smile.It also means something.

Old Mrs. Chen laughed.

"Okay, if you lose, you lose. If you want to blame, you can blame yourself, but you can't blame others." He said, waving his hand, "Have tea. Have tea."

The chessboard was torn down, and the maid brought fragrant tea.

"Come and have a taste." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Cheng Jiaoniang thanked her, picked it up and took a bite, then paused.

"It's the imperial tea that His Majesty rewarded." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, looking at Mrs. Chen, "In the palace?"

"Yes, the new fragrant tea in the palace." Chen Shao said. "I still have some here, if the lady likes it. Take it and eat it."

Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head and smiled.

"No, I don't drink much tea." She said, drinking the tea in the bowl, "It's getting late, I have to go back."

Old Mrs. Chen nodded and looked at her with a smile.

"Miss Cheng." Chen Shao said.

Cheng Jiaoniang stood still and looked at him.

"Do more good deeds, don't betray the Dao." Chen Shao said.

"Good deeds? Dao?" Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him.He said with a smile, "My lord. It turns out that you worked for an official for this reason. No wonder your luck is not very good."

Chen Shao frowned.

"You have to know that you are lucky this time because you are standing on the right path. If you are doing crooked ways, the result is not certain." He said.

"Master Chen, do you really not know, or do you pretend you don't know what you're doing?" Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at him, "Parties are the same, regardless of right and wrong, this is the way you should recognize now."

Chen Shao was stunned, watching the woman turn and leave.

What is she talking about, does she know what she is talking about?

Whether the party is the same or different, whether it is right or wrong?

Isn't this something that only those in the high party would do?Randomly biting, wantonly framing, and doing everything in order to attack opponents in the DPRK and China.

She even said, this is the way!

"She is like this!" Chen Shao raised his eyebrows and said.

Old Master Chen smiled behind him.

"She, hasn't she always been like this?" He said.

She can shoot and kill rogues with her strength, she can kill the civil servants of the court when she is threatened, and any thing that seems difficult and helpless should be avoided, this woman has always had only one solution.

It's not defense, it's not forbearance, but a sharp and decisive attack without hesitation.

Just like this time, she couldn't talk to herself, so she turned around and found someone who could talk to her without hesitation. It didn't matter what you were for, she was only asking for what she wanted.

What she wants for her, he also has what he wants...

The party is the same and the difference is different, no matter right or wrong?Like this... is it okay....

"Little lady, do you know what you're talking about..." Chen Shao murmured with a complicated expression.

It seems that apart from curing diseases and killing people, he still knows too little about this young lady of the Cheng family...

The night is getting darker, and the autumn wind is getting stronger.

"Your Highness."

A servant approached the city wall and handed him a large fur cloak.

"Change to this thick cloak."

Prince Jin'an rested his head on his hands and looked at the city gate quietly. He had been standing in this posture all night.

"No, it's almost over," he said.

Accompanied by his words, as expected, a few servants ran out from the city gate with long whips in their hands.

The crisp and piercing sound spread on the street.

Accompanied by the sound of whips, the chattering and laughing crowd bowed to the city gate one after another, and immediately receded like a tide.

The bright and bright lights are gradually extinguished, and the night is like a entrenched monster, swallowing the brightness of the market one by one, and the world is gradually plunged into darkness.

"Your Highness."

The servant gently reminded.

The people in front of Xuande Gate had already left, only those who cleaned up the streets were busy.

"Let's go back."

King Jin'an turned around, wrapped his cloak tightly and strode away.
