Ren Yaoqi only reacted later when she was flushing the toilet. Before she knew it, she had dared to talk back in front of Pei Zhiyan.
Although Pei Zhiyan is lazy and indifferent, he is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and is extremely patient. He is indeed a good gentleman.
After a few years passed, Ren Yaoqi gradually relaxed his guard in the process of getting along with him, and began to truly respect him as a teacher and a brother.
Pei Zhiyan really didn't marry again, because he had no children, but the people of the Pei family kept urging him to continue the string. Some elders even sent him beautiful maids. Pei Zhiyan was so annoyed that he sent Ren Yaoqi to send these people to him. . Later, the family would not stop him.
One time, Pei Zhiyan suddenly asked after taking Ren Yaoqi's homework in the school, "Is there no one in my family recently?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "Someone came a few days ago, sent some medicinal materials and left."
Pei Zhiyan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and then seemed to want to understand something. He stroked his forehead with a wry smile and sighed: "That's it... It's okay to suffer a little in terms of reputation."
Ren Yaoqi was a little inexplicable.
However, Pei Zhiyan didn't explain her confusion, just glanced at her and said with a smile, "This time I'll punish you for eating celery for a month."
Ren Yaoqi is not a picky eater. The only thing he doesn't like is the taste of celery. Hearing this, he can't help but be taken aback: "Sir, is there something wrong with what I just answered?"
Pei Zhiyan lay back on the couch, and said leisurely, "That's right, I read books very seriously, and the children can be taught."
"Then why should you be punished?!" Ren Yaoqi frowned.
Pei Zhiyan didn't lift his head: "Because I am a gentleman and you are a student."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi only found out after a long time, because outsiders thought she was Pei Zhiyan's concubine, or a very favored concubine, but she had never been pregnant with Pei Zhiyan for many years, plus Mrs. Pei Ouyang's previous It is also because he has been married for many years and has not been pregnant. Pei Zhiyan refused to marry after his wife died. People in the Pei family thought that Pei Zhiyan had something to hide, so they did not dare to force him to be too cruel. Yao Qi went to send it.
Ren Yaoqi has been taught by Pei Zhiyan for many years. At first, she could only be beaten passively. Later, she could occasionally give her husband some painless counterattacks. The little girl who was a little smart, a little arrogant, has grown into the calm and steady appearance she is now.
The hardships of the road to growth are also a sad history of blood and tears.
Ren Yaoqi stood there and recalled the time when the master and apprentice got along, and he felt a little sigh and warm, until Mrs. Xu's voice recalled Ren Yaoqi's thoughts.
"This is my student I mentioned before, Yaoqi, come here and see Mr. Pei."
Ren Yaoqi thought a lot about it just now, but it only happened in a flash. Although Mrs. Xu saw that Ren Yaoqi was obviously stunned for a moment, she only thought that she would have such a reaction when she saw Pei Zhiyan suddenly. He didn't think about it, he just asked Ren Yaoqi to greet Pei Zhiyan in the past.
Ren Yaoqi calmed down and walked forward to greet Xu Wanli and his wife and Pei Zhiyan respectively.
Pei Zhiyan took his eyes away from Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully, nodded and smiled, and then asked, "Did you give her the prescription your husband is taking now?"
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't answer for a while, Mrs. Xu explained: "Because my sister, like me, had this disease from her mother's womb, it's a pity that she... Hey! I would like to say that he has always regretted my sister's death, Therefore, he has been studying pharmacology for many years. When he saw the medicine I was drinking yesterday, he said that it was symptomatic. He also knew the methods you taught me to massage acupoints to relieve the disease, so I mentioned you. He and I are close relatives. It’s the time of passing the year, and it is also your elder, so you don’t have to be cautious when your family talks together.”
Ren Yao was not cautious, she just didn't know how to answer Pei Zhiyan. This recipe was exactly what she told Madam Xu, but it was also found by Pei Zhiyan in the previous life by studying medical books.
She could only say: "I gave it to my husband. I found the recipe from a manuscript of a former imperial physician at my grandfather's house."
Pei Zhiyan pondered: "I don't know which imperial physician's handwriting was from the previous dynasty?" Pei Zhiyan naturally studied the medical records and medicine records left by many imperial physicians.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and replied, "Hu Zhongyun, Imperial Physician Hu."
Pei Zhiyan couldn't help but suddenly: "It turns out to be him, no wonder."
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised: "Have you heard of this imperial physician Hu?" No wonder Mrs. Xu was surprised. Although Hu Zhangyun was an imperial physician, he was not very famous, and he did not leave behind a commendable Xinglin before his death The story, and the fact that at least 400 years have passed since he was alive, so even Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanli, who had read a lot of books, did not know about this imperial physician.
Ren Yaoqi secretly said in his heart that Mr. Pei naturally knew it. In fact, he figured out this recipe by looking at the medical records and medical books left by Hu Zhongyun and some other famous doctors.
"I have a notebook in my hand that he passed on to his son. The book does contain unique insights into the disease of heart disease. If this is the recipe he came up with, it would not be surprising." Pei Zhiyan said to Madam Xu.
Pei Zhiyan looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while, and said with a smile: "But you are not from a doctor at a young age, but it is rare to be so transparent. Your husband has accepted a good student."
Hearing this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help thinking secretly: I never saw you have such a sigh when I was your student! Sure enough, students are always good to others.
Pei Zhiyan naturally couldn't hear her voice. The two of them met like strangers now. Pei Zhiyan only had a surprised expression on his face when he first saw Ren Yaoqi. Talking about other things, he didn't pay too much attention to Ren Yaoqi, which made Ren Yaoqi feel that the surprise he saw in Pei Zhiyan's eyes seemed to be just her illusion.
Mrs. Xu left the square table to Xu Wanli and Pei Zhiyan, and she took Ren Yaoqi to the cabin by the window to take a seat and talk about the recent repairs to the broken records.
At this time, the sounds of gun battles and gongs and drums sounded outside, so loud that they covered up the voices of several people on the boat. Pei Zhiyan and Xu Wanli, who were drinking tea and talking on the other side, also turned their attention.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "The dragon boat race is about to start. I'd like to say that you haven't watched the dragon boat race in Yanbei, have you?"
Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly: "I haven't seen it, but just from the appearance of the dragon boat, there are more tricks in Jiangnan."
Madam Xu couldn't help but glanced at the splendid dragon boat parked in the middle of the river, and said with a smile, "This is true, but when you race a dragon boat or a dragon boat, you have to race to know the winner. Win or lose?"
Pei Zhiyan nodded and seemed to agree.
Although this year's dragon boat race is more lively than in previous years, the procedure is still in accordance with previous years. King Yanbei and the head of the Yun family, the Su family, and the Lei family went to the high platform, and the other two officials of the court also on top.
The attention of several people on the boat was also focused, Xu Wanli looked at Pei Zhiyan: "Aren't you going up?"
Pei Zhiyan glanced at the high platform and took a leisurely sip of tea: "Leave the limelight to others, I'll stay here and play a few games with you. The game of chess yesterday has not been decided yet."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glance at Pei Zhiyan, who had a relaxed face. She knew very well the nature of her gentleman. At this moment, what he thought in his mind was: lose face, win and be hated, or hide here It is comfortable to drink tea.
At this time, there were already many maids on the river bank who were holding sacks and looking for people to place bets.
There were also maids coming to the boat that was docked on the bank of the river.
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Wanli and Pei Zhiyan, and said with a smile, "Why don't we have a guess?"
Xu Wanli stroked his beard with a smile and joked, "My wife is a general who often loses, and her defeats are remarkable. The result is the same whether you guess it or not."
Mrs. Xu glared at him: "Sir is a general who always wins, but you always guess that the Yanbei Palace wins, and if you win, you won't be able to win!"
Pei Zhiyan couldn't help laughing out loud, and Ren Yaoqi also seemed to want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. She has never seen Xu Shanchang, who has always been serious and upright, still have such a side. No wonder everyone in the world knows that Xu Shanchang and Mrs. Xu are harmonious and have an excellent relationship.
At this moment, Mammy Gao hurriedly pushed the cabin door and came in: "Master, Madam, Second Young Master Xiao is here."
Xu Wanli and Mrs. Xu looked at each other and seemed a little surprised, Xu Wanli said quickly, "Please come in, sir."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, and could not help but look outside the cabin, just in time to see Xiao Jingxi bent over and walked into the cabin.
Xu Wanli smiled and said, "My boat is small, I knew you were coming and should borrow the painting boat from the palace." The words were very familiar.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said warmly, "I'm here to invite you to paint the boat."
As he said that, his eyes swept across the people on the boat, he paused slightly when he looked at Ren Yaoqi, then turned away, and finally stopped at Pei Zhiyan: "I heard that Mr. Pei is here, so I took the liberty to come here. I hope it won't disturb your reminiscence."
Pei Zhiyan was also looking at Xiao Jingxi, and nodded with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, long time no see." The two actually knew each other.
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Since it's a reminiscence, you are also an old acquaintance, so naturally you won't be disturbed."
Xu Wanli asked Pei Zhiyan, "I've seen the painting boat in the Yanbei Palace, but I haven't sat on it yet, but today I got your light?"
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you are blaming me for this."
Mrs. Xu said: "Jingxi, please ignore your husband. He likes to talk nonsense when he is happy. This problem has not changed for so many years. You came just in time. We are about to bet on the guessing game. There are so many people."
