Xiao Cao pursed her lips and smiled, "We are the same."
Wei Tingyu couldn't help but laugh, at this moment he was not jealous of Xiaocao for saying that Fan Wuguo was a rare handsome man or something like that, that was purely asking for trouble to say such a thing, you know he is still a "guilty man", yes, he knew very well in his heart that his past affairs were far from being truly over, even though Xuan'er had a good temper, she still held a grudge.
It was only because of his poor health that Xuan'er didn't settle the score with him. If he was in good health, he wouldn't be as happy as he is now. If possible, Wei Tingyu would like Xuan'er to settle the score with him, even if it means "holding a grudge" for a lifetime. The problem is, that day will never come.
Wei Tingyu's thoughts flashed through his mind very quickly, but his expression showed nothing.
Wei Tingyu sent Xiaocao home, so naturally there was no such thing as "passing by the door without entering". After all, he had been guarding Xiaocao in the palace. Even if he had no merit, he had done some hard work. He had to gain favor in front of his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. You know, the people of the Wen family basically did not approve of him in their hearts. The reason why they agreed to the marriage was nothing more than Xuan'er's insistence. Although from his point of view, there was no need to gain favor, because if he died, everything would be gone. However, if it was the same as before, as long as he lived for one more day, he would probably be despised to death, and the people of the Wen family would think that Xuan'er's efforts on him were not worth it.
Therefore, you should work hard to improve your favorability every day you live, and do it diligently and happily.
—He can do anything for Xuan'er at any time, and afterward, he can just take advantage of her a little, that's all.
Han was indeed very kind to Wei Tingyu today.
In fact, if Wei Tingyu had not been in poor health and would not live long, Han would have been quite satisfied with this son-in-law. To be honest, if Wei Tingyu was in good health and was treated as he should be in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, then considering his character and abilities, considering his current situation, it would be really hard to marry him. As for many things, one can only say that things are unpredictable.
It was not long before lunch time, so Han invited Wei Tingyu to stay for lunch, and Wei Tingyu readily accepted the invitation.
However, Han also discovered one advantage of Wei Tingyu, that is, he had a greater influence on her nerdy son. Her son could not get along with other peers in terms of eating, drinking, and having fun, and he was the only one who crushed the others. This son-in-law was different. He was very knowledgeable. Even if he was not as good as her nerdy son in some aspects, he could easily bring the problems over and let her nerdy son follow his ideas. In the process, he could also guide her son to look at some problems with a practical perspective.
This is really a rare thing. Did Wenren Taibo and Han know that Wenren Yang's mind is actually a little inconsistent with his age? Of course they knew, just as Xiaocao said at the beginning, it would be best to let him go out to study, but it was unrealistic to let him go out by himself. This was the conclusion drawn after trying it once. He needed someone who could withstand the "knowledge crushing" and guide him to take him to study, which was more difficult.
Now it’s a pleasant surprise.
Xiaocao is very busy, mainly studying Wei Tingyu's treatment plan, so naturally he doesn't have much time to accompany him. Fortunately, he also has a reasonable reason to stay at Wenren's house. Seriously speaking, chatting with Wenren Yang is actually quite interesting.
In the afternoon, a lot of things were sent out from the palace one after another. They were all the rewards given by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuanren yesterday. Among them, no one gave more than Xiaocao. Although he didn't say anything at the palace banquet yesterday, everyone who should have known the situation knew it and basically accepted the huge amount of rewards well, of course, with the exception of a few individuals.
It was Hong Yi who came to the Wenren family personally with the reward. He was very kind to Xiaocao. To be honest, even the important officials in the court might not be treated like this by him. This also somewhat explains Emperor Xuanren's attitude towards Xiaocao.
However, Xiaocao's expression was still a little dull when he looked at the reward in front of him. Was it too much or too expensive
However, the reward from the Emperor was so legitimate that there was nothing to worry about. And obviously, the reward could not be refused. Moreover, it was also considered "giving him what he liked". There were a lot of precious medicinal herbs. Those that could be collected by the palace must be the most precious herbs in the entire Qi Dynasty. Xiaocao could hardly get access to them under normal circumstances. He loved them so much that even though he knew he was unworthy of them, he wanted to put them all into his own pocket.
Especially Xiaocao was still unconsciously thinking in her heart, is there more from Emperor Xuanren? I want it so much!
Stop, Xiaocao quickly threw away the "greedy" thoughts in his mind.
After sending Hong Yi out the door, I felt happy, but also felt that I shouldn't have suffered. I was so conflicted!
Of course, after seeing the medicinal herbs, Xiaocao's mind and eyes were filled with them. As for others, sorry, they were completely nothing.
Han was already accustomed to her daughter's reaction, and ordered people to register all the items except medicinal herbs and put them in Xiaocao's private vault. The mother said that she was no longer sure how much private property her daughter had. After all, the value of each item was not constant, and she was too lazy to make a rough estimate. She didn't know whether the girl's private property was as much as hers, but in short, among the younger generation, the private property of others combined was definitely not as much as hers.
My daughter is really good at making money.
In comparison, Wei Tingyu was much more indifferent. "In addition to the rewards from the emperor and the empress dowager, there should also be compensation for you." He said softly to Xiaocao.
"What do you mean?" Xiaocao was puzzled.
"Princess Cheng." Wei Tingyu only gave a simple hint.
"Hasn't Princess Cheng already been punished?" Xiaocao still didn't quite understand.
"Punishment is punishment, and compensation is compensation. They are two different things."
Okay, Xiaocao also understood. In fact, those who do wrong should be punished and the victims should be compensated. It’s that simple.
So Xiaocao stopped struggling. Once she had a reason to accept it, she became unusually calm.
Wei Tingyu chuckled. He liked his Xuan'er's personality. She never thought too much about everything. You could say she was simple or that she didn't want to focus her energy on these unimportant things.
"Tingyu, your birthday is the day after tomorrow." Xiaocao stated a fact bluntly.
The Empress Dowager's birthday is June 16, and Wei Tingyu's birthday is June 19. Seriously speaking, it coincides with the second of Guanyin's three birthdays. They should have been good days, so why didn't the Bodhisattva bless him
Wei Tingyu nodded and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, do you want to celebrate my birthday?" To be honest, he was really looking forward to it. In the past years, Xuan'er would celebrate his birthday every year, but would often forget her own birthday.
Although the way of celebrating birthdays every year is very simple, Wei Tingyu feels unusually satisfied, especially when Xuan'er is very skillful in handling medicinal materials, but clumsy in the kitchen. I don't know if it is because Xuan'er's dexterous hands become stiff after changing places, or because her mind can never concentrate on anything other than medical skills. In short, no matter whether it is cooking or needlework, Xuan'er can never learn it - she is so good at holding a silver needle, but she can't hold an embroidery needle at all. It's quite magical to say.
However, even though she was clumsy, Xuan'er still insisted on making something for him every year, and Wei Tingyu was very considerate of her every year. Even if the food might not taste right or the embroidery could not be recognized at all, he would eat up the former and preserve the latter properly.
Xiao Cao laughed, "Do you really want me to harm you every year?"
Yes, Wei Tingyu knew that her daughter Xuan'er did it on purpose, otherwise, why would Wei Tingyu say that his daughter Xuan'er held a grudge? It was because on his first birthday after they met, he was ignorant and bluntly expressed his disdain for her efforts.
"If I can, I would of course."
No matter what you do now, there is always a big premise. However, Xiaocao smiled and said nothing, nor did she show any pessimism.
It should be said that no matter what he thinks in his heart, Xiaocao will never show "pessimism" about the other person's condition in front of the patient, even if this person is the closest person. It would be inappropriate to lose control of his emotions at the beginning.
"Are you planning to stay at home or go to the farm?" Presumably, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion would not take his birthday seriously, but as long as he wanted, he could celebrate it at the Wenren Family, even if only people from their family would celebrate for him.
"At home. After all, my mother has come out of the Buddhist temple now. She will definitely not ignore it. Whether or not to invite guests for a banquet is not discussed for now, but your family will definitely be there."
"That's right, maybe my mother has already received the post." He turned around and asked.
Before Wei Tingyu left, Xiaocao gave him another acupuncture treatment.
Before leaving, Wei Tingyu looked at Xiaocao and asked, "Xuan'er, will you really not cause trouble to me again this year?"
If Xiaocao was holding a grudge at the beginning and "punished" him every year, but after year after year without lack of it, that "gift" had become a very special existence and was difficult to give up.
"Just wait."
Wei Tingyu smiled, quite satisfied.
Xiaocao returned to her room. In fact, she had already prepared a gift for Wei Tingyu. Unlike the previous "pranks on him", this time it was wood carving. Xiaocao learned carving to practice and to better serve medicine, so she was not clumsy, but very good at it.
Xiaocao's sculptures have always been mainly wood carvings, and mainly human figures. However, her figures have never been anyone she knows. She shapes them herself based on her own understanding of skeletons - of course, this method may make the figure overlap with someone in the world.
However, Xiaocao broke this habit three years ago. Before Wei Tingyu's birthday, she would carve a wooden sculpture of him. It was just a simple wooden sculpture and did not give it any meaning.
Now, Xiaocao didn't want to go back to the original rules and prepared a birthday gift for Wei Tingyu's 21st birthday. Xiaocao not only carved Wei Tingyu, but also added herself in, designed the background, added a puppy, and a cute child, which looked very warm.
Xiaocao didn't know why she carved such a scene, but she did it anyway, so much so that after she had finished carving it, she wasn't very clear what she was thinking.
Originally, this matter of having children before getting married was quite embarrassing. If seen by outsiders, she might even be accused of being "shameless". However, everyone around her was extremely silent when they saw it, a silence that even Xiaocao couldn't break. Now, seeing it, she even wanted to cry.
Wei Tingyu's current condition seems to be good, but there is still no progress on the fundamental problem. Xiaocao can't help feeling anxious. Although he knew in his previous life that some diseases were incurable, his condition did not belong to any of them. Moreover, most of the incurable diseases in his previous life can actually be cured in this life. It is obvious that medicine is more backward, but it has been done. How magical.
So Xiaocao didn't believe that there was really no way. There must be one, but she just hadn't discovered it yet.
In Xiaocao's opinion, her medical skills were not up to par yet, and her knowledge was not broad enough. For example, the existence of such an unscientific "fake death drug" was so unscientific. Therefore, she had set her sights on the Imperial Hospital. Even under such circumstances yesterday, she was still distracted to give "classes" to the people in the Imperial Hospital. There was something deliberate in that.
Xiaocao's idea was also very simple. Although she had been to many places with her adoptive father, had seen many diseases, and knew countless medicinal herbs, this world was not as well-informed as the previous life, where once a discovery was made, it could be entered into the database. Who knew how many things there were in the world that could be used as medicine? Were there some special medicinal herbs that were discovered by others but unknown to most people
Her adoptive father has studied medicine for decades and has never stopped researching. He does not claim to know everything about medicine and often tells her that she should always be humble and diligent in her studies.
The Imperial Medical Bureau itself represents the highest medical realm in the Qi Dynasty. Even though Xiaocao discovered that the people inside were not as powerful as he had expected, it cannot be denied that the Imperial Medical Bureau itself is a huge treasure house. It has existed for hundreds of years, and people inside have come and gone from generation to generation, but the various medical books and notes accumulated there are the real treasures.
Xiaocao thought she had read a lot of medical books, but they were definitely not comparable to those in the Imperial Hospital. Now, it should not be difficult for her to go there to read books. If it really doesn't work, she can just go to Emperor Xuanren and get the imperial edict, and naturally no one can stop her.
That’s not all. Xiaocao also urgently wants to find her adoptive father. As the saying goes, one person’s shortcomings make two people’s strengths stronger. Her adoptive father is more knowledgeable and educated than her. Maybe he can find a way
This matter has been handed over to Wei Tingyu. He must have a better way to find someone than she does.
Xiaocao quickly suppressed her inappropriate emotions. Most of the people in the Imperial Hospital were still in the palace today, so she decided to go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow.
