Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

Fang Yi'ai, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaidao came out of the teahouse and returned to the Duke of Liang's mansion.

Several servants were circling around a large black cart, unsure of what to do.

"This...isn't this His Majesty's iron carriage?" Qin Huaidao's eyes widened. "Why is it parked at the Duke of Liang's residence?"

Fang Yi'ai paused for two seconds, then straightened his chest and cleared his throat, trying to appear calm.

"Oh, that must be because His Majesty values ​​my father, which is why he had him drive home."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao both looked at him.

"Whose father is not valued?"

"that is."

Fang Yi'ai put his hands behind his back, trying to appear calm and collected. "There are different kinds of people who are given important positions."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao looked at Fang Yi'ai with envy in their eyes.

Cheng Chumo couldn't hold back any longer, "Could you drive it out and let me see it?"

Qin Huaidao hooked his arm around Fang Yi'ai's shoulder and said, "Second Fang, we've been friends since we were kids. If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."

With the two men flanking him on either side, Fang Yi'ai's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he patted his chest generously.

"Don't worry! Once I've gotten used to it, I'll take you guys for a ride first!"

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao exchanged a glance and then grinned at the same time.

……

The little princess sat in a booster seat with a small bowl in front of her containing three peeled shrimp.

She picked one up with her little hands, held it high, and shouted towards Chengyang across the street.

"Second sister, I'm feeding Mud Seven."

Chengyang opened his mouth and leaned forward, but the little princess's arms were too short. The shrimp meat swayed in the air across half a table, but he just couldn't reach it.

Chengyang tried twice, then simply picked up his own small bowl and held it out for the little princess to put the shrimp into the bowl.

The little princess didn't want to be fed; she insisted on being fed right to her mouth.

Chengyang had no choice but to stand on the chair. "It's delicious, Sizi, you're so kind."

The little princess was so pleased by the praise that she immediately picked up another one and offered it to Chengyang's mouth.

This time, Chengyang was more experienced and prepared well in advance, thus catching the situation smoothly.

The two little girls were happily feeding each other back and forth.

Guo Qian had a tough time. After peeling one, he would put it in the little princess's bowl, and after peeling another, he would put it in Chengyang's bowl. In between, he would also have to pick up a piece of food for himself.

By the end, my fingers were aching from peeling so many.

Li Yinxun couldn't help but laugh as she watched.

After dinner, Li Yinxun took the two little girls to the backyard.

"Don't stay in an air-conditioned room for too long, come out and get some fresh air."

The little princess rubbed her round, chubby belly and was led out contentedly.

Chengyang followed slowly behind, clearly also quite full.

The two little ones ran to the sandpit and started playing in the sand. Li Yinxun sat on a beach chair watching them, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Guo Qian brought out two cups of tea from the kitchen, handed one to her, and sat down on the other side.

Li Yinxun suddenly said, "Just watching them like this makes me feel very peaceful."

Guo Qian put his arm around her shoulder. "It will always be like this."

Li Yinxun glanced at him sideways and leaned slightly closer.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke.

"Guo Qian, there's a group of people over there who want to come to the modern world to play. There are about twenty or thirty of them, young and old. Do you have any ideas?"

Guo Qian thought for a moment, "High-speed rail and airplanes won't work; they require real-name ID cards, and they don't have legal identities, so they can't pass through security."

Li Yinxun nodded; she had already thought of that.

"The only option is a bus. Rent one or two buses, start from the villa, and take the national highway or expressway to visit surrounding cities for short trips. Buses don't require real-name authentication, so you can charter a bus without identity verification along the way, which is the most convenient option."

"The bus can carry a maximum of forty or fifty people at a time, which is more than enough for us," Li Yinxun calculated. "The trip shouldn't be too long, two or three days should be enough. We can just travel around the surrounding area and see the technology of the future."

Guo Qian looked at her profile and said, "It's settled then. I'll rent the bus and plan the route."

"it is good."

Li Yinxun was holding a teacup when she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I only found out today that you've been causing such a big commotion behind my back, as Changsun Wuji told me."

Li Yinxun glanced at him sideways, "What exactly are you planning to do with all those herbs?"

Guo Qian paused for two seconds, put down his teacup, and spoke seriously.

"I want to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic."

Li Yinxun was slightly taken aback. "A traditional Chinese medicine clinic?"

"The Tang Dynasty had extremely rich medicinal resources. Many of these herbs have become rare or even extinct in later generations, and their effects are stronger than they are now. Rather than letting those herbs rot in the mountains, it would be better to systematically acquire them and transport them to modern times for use."

Guo Qian paused for a moment, "But this is only the first step. My real idea is to invite Sun Simiao over."

Li Yinxun's brow twitched slightly. "Invite Sun Simiao to the modern era?"

"It's not about asking him to practice medicine, it's about asking him to teach." Guo Qian's gaze became solemn. "Traditional Chinese medicine is declining in later generations. Young people are unwilling to learn it, and senior doctors can't find successors. Many exquisite medical techniques and prescriptions are being lost generation after generation. Sun Simiao is the King of Medicine, the most outstanding person in the thousand-year-old tradition of traditional Chinese medicine. If he were to teach and mentor apprentices, even if it's just lecturing and passing on prescriptions, it would be enough to ensure the continuation of traditional Chinese medicine."

Li Yinxun remained silent. "Do you know how difficult this is? To open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in modern times, you need a practicing physician's license, a medical institution practice license, a drug business license, and a whole bunch of other procedures."

Guo Qian nodded. "I know, that's why I don't plan to let him personally see patients and practice medicine."

"Sun Simiao only taught, he did not treat patients. He ran a Chinese medicine school, not a clinic, and operated it by teaching and apprenticeship."

"Have you thought it all through?"

"I've thought it all out."

Li Yinxun did not refute further.

She could tell that Guo Qian's actions were not impulsive, and that he greatly admired traditional Chinese medicine.

"Okay, I'll find a chance to mention it to my brother-in-law later, since he's his person after all."

The two leaned against each other, quietly watching the two small figures in the backyard.

"Meow……"

A soft meow came from the direction of the flower stand.

The little princess's ears perked up immediately as she searched for the kitten.

An orange cat was lying on the flower stand, its eyes half-closed, its tail swaying idly.

Its fur is glossy and its body is round and plump; it's clear that it's been well cared for.

"Mimi," the little princess waved excitedly at the flower stand, "Mimi, come here!"

The orange cat glanced lazily at the little princess, then remained motionless.

The little princess skipped over to the flower trellis, "Mimi, don't be afraid... I won't hurt you..."

The orange cat twitched its ears and squatted on the flower stand, looking down at her.

Chengyang took half a sausage out of his pocket, peeled off the skin, and placed it on the grass under the flower stand.

He took the little princess's hand and took two steps back.

The orange cat tilted its head, jumped down from the flower stand, and slowly approached, its body arched.

The orange cat picked up the sausage and took two bites.

The little princess got excited and reached out to touch it.

"Sizi!" Li Yinxun reacted quickly, grabbing her hand. "You can't touch Mimi when she's eating, she'll bite."

The little princess was startled and withdrew her hand in grievance.

"Wow, that's wrong~"

"It's because Mimi is too cute, it's not Sizi's fault, but you can't do that again, okay?"

The little princess pouted, but still nodded obediently.

The orange cat grabbed the sausage, darted up the courtyard wall in a flash, and ran away without looking back.

The little princess stared longingly in the direction the orange cat had disappeared, her little face scrunched up in frustration.

"It left before it was even seven minutes full..."

Chengyang was also a little disappointed. "Auntie, will the kitten come back?"

"Yes, it will," she said, ruffling Chengyang's hair and pinching the little princess's cheek. "It remembers there's food here, and it'll come back tomorrow."
