Chapter 522 She Searched Every One of Them
Shen Wantang stood up and said with a smile, "I heard that Doctor Zhou complained that the food I sent you was too much and not good for your health. So I decided not to send you any today. Anyway, what I made today is not a good thing."
Qin Xin was lively and immediately said in a crisp voice: "Doctor Zhou, the dishes ordered by our Crown Prince's Concubine today are lotus leaf glutinous rice porridge, lotus leaf salt-baked chicken, and lotus leaf Dongpo fish!"
When Doctor Zhou heard this, he immediately said, "Lotus leaves can clear away heat and dampness, and can also remove oil and fat. Eating some in the midsummer season is perfect! The Crown Prince's Consort must send more to my old man today!"
Shen Wantang: "You are old after all. Chicken, fish and meat are not easy to digest. You should eat less. Since you like lotus leaves, I will just give you lotus leaves!"
Doctor Zhou was anxious: "Who eats lotus leaf chicken or lotus leaf fish only by eating lotus leaf? I am not a cow or sheep that only eats grass and no meat! Don't worry, I can digest anything, just send it to me!"
Shen Wantang hesitated: "This...isn't it bad?"
Doctor Zhou slapped his thigh and said, "If you do this, I won't eat your food for nothing. Later I will give you a medical book I compiled. I guarantee that you will be able to make great progress in treating women's pregnancy!"
Shen Wantang laughed, "Then I would be disrespectful to refuse. Qinxin, remember to send the most fragrant lotus leaf chicken and the most tender lotus leaf fish to Doctor Zhou! Oh, and ask the kitchen to make a lotus leaf fried crispy pork and lotus root cake for Doctor Zhou. Lotus root can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and it also has the effect of removing fat, which is suitable for Doctor Zhou."
"Yes, I've made note of it!"
Doctor Zhou was very satisfied to see that she was so understanding. He muttered "little fox" and walked towards his yard calmly.
His young apprentice, carrying a medicine box, followed him and whispered, "Master, you can't give all your books to the Crown Prince's wife. I don't have any!"
"Shut up, how dare you say that? You ate most of the food that girl sent you. Do you think I'm such a greedy old man? I asked for it for you! I can write more books if I lose them, but if I lose the food, won't you and I starve tonight? It's okay for me to go hungry, but you're still growing up, and if you go hungry, you won't be able to sleep all night!"
The young disciple smiled foolishly: "Master is so good to me, I will definitely be filial to him in the future!"
Doctor Zhou snorted coldly: "That's better!"
The master and his disciple walked to the gate of their courtyard. Before they went in, they saw Doctor Qin from next door coming out with his little disciple.
Doctor Zhou noticed that Doctor Qin's apprentice was holding a booklet. He couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Qin, what is your apprentice holding? Is it a new medical prescription written for the prince and princess?"
Doctor Qin coughed lightly and shook his head awkwardly: "No, this is the meridian atlas and boxing atlas that I drew overnight. Doctor Zhou also knows that I am best at relaxing muscles and tendons, and I also have a set of boxing techniques to strengthen the body. The Crown Prince's Consort said she wanted to learn it and used delicious food as bait, so I..."
"You took the bait?"
"Ahem! How can Doctor Zhou still be so straightforward? How can this be called taking the bait? This is called taking care of the younger generation! I have something else to do, so I won't talk to Doctor Zhou anymore. Ah Yi, let's go. It's our turn to guard the prince. We can't delay any longer."
After Doctor Qin finished speaking, he hurried away with his apprentice.
Doctor Zhou couldn't help but stroke his gray beard and said, "Tsk, that girl is really someone who won't suffer any loss! It turns out that she not only asked for things from me, but also from other doctors. I'm afraid she has plundered all of them!"
His apprentice said righteously, "Oh, it turns out that none of us eat and live for free! It's not bad, we don't owe her anything, we are upright and honest, no one can find fault with us!"
Doctor Zhou glanced at his apprentice and couldn't help but shook his head.
His apprentice is too upright and not smooth enough, and he will suffer a lot in the future.
If his apprentice had half the intelligence of Shen Wantang, he wouldn't have to worry so much!
He actually originally suspected that Shen Wantang was the apprentice of Yu Jisheng, the former director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, because their acupuncture techniques were so similar.
But after getting to know him, he felt that Shen Wantang should not be Yu Jisheng's apprentice, because Yu Jisheng was a kind of upright person. He was not good at and disdainful of playing tricks or scheming, otherwise he would not have been framed and forced to resign from the position of the head of the dean and return home.
How could Yu Jisheng, with his straightforward personality, teach a disciple like Shen Wantang who is so good at twists and turns and manipulates people's hearts?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
-
at dusk.
The rich aroma of rice wafted through Prince Ning's mansion, and even the dogs passing by began to drool.
The maids carried food boxes and delivered dinner to each courtyard.
The sun was setting, the scorching sunlight gradually dissipated, and the stuffy feeling finally subsided a little.
Shen Wantang smelled the fragrant food and her appetite improved.
She has not been able to eat recently because of the hot weather, and has lost a lot of weight.
This meal was finally quite good.
Just after finishing the meal, Madam Chai came in and said, "Princess, someone from the Shen family is here and they insist on seeing you. Look..."
Shen Wantang was not surprised. In the past month, the Shen family had come several times, all for Shen Mingxuan's matter.
"Who is coming this time? My reckless eldest brother? Or my foolish second brother?"
"This time, Lord Shen and Madam Shen came together and have been waiting outside for some time."
Nanny Chai knew that Shen Wantang had lost her appetite recently. It was a rare occasion when she had a good appetite, so she waited until Shen Wantang finished eating before coming in to report, so that she wouldn't be disturbed by these bad things and lose her appetite.
"Then let them in. My good father and good stepmother will not give up until they see me. Let's send them away today!"
Nanny Chai responded and went out to bring people.
A moment later, Shen Guannian and Qi came to Shen Wantang's yard.
Shen Guannian's face was gloomy. "You are becoming more and more arrogant. Your own father is here, and you didn't go out to greet him. You even asked your father to wait outside! You are an unfilial thing. I have raised you in vain!"
Shen Wantang drank her tea and ignored him.
Seeing that he was being left out like this, Shen Guannian's face flushed with anger: "You have no manners at all. Your father is talking to you and you pretend to be deaf and dumb?! Hurry up and ask someone to serve tea to me and your mother!"
Shen Wantang still ignored him.
Seeing that Shen Guannian was in a state of embarrassment, Qi hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, Tang'er is our own child. She has never been good at dealing with people. Don't be angry with her."
"It doesn't matter whether you drink tea or not. What matters is that we must quickly ask Tang'er to help rescue Xuanxuan! Xuanxuan is innocent, she didn't kill that old hag!"
