“Do you have to be so happy?” Immortal Crane looked at the love-struck smile on Ji Zhao’s face and frowned unhappily. “That golden phoenix hairpin is crudely made. The rest of the jewelry is even worse!”
“Master!” Ji Zhao suddenly puffed up her cheeks and shouted angrily.
“Alright, alright. I know you’re protecting that punk! Immortal Crane rolled his eyes silently. Then, he took off the gray pouch on his waist and poured out the items in the pouch. He handed it to her. “Take it. It’s my wedding gift to you!”
Although Immortal Crane did not approve of this marriage, his good disciple had already decided on Shen Yao. Other than accepting it, he had no other choice!
“This is?” Ji Zhao was dumbfounded.
This was because her master had given her a luminous night pearl the size of an egg.
“Keep it well!”
“Thank you, Master!” Ji Zhao did not decline and accepted the gift happily.
A night pearl the size of an egg! This was a treasure that could not be bought with money!
Her master had actually given her such an expensive congratulatory gift. It could be seen that her master truly doted on her.
“Master, what do you want to eat for lunch? Shall I make it for you?’
“My throat has been a little dry for the past two days. Why don ‘t we prepare some soup?’
“Alright!’ “After lunch, follow me to the back of the mountain to pick herbs.”
“Okay!’
Ji Zhao immediately went to the kitchen and glanced at the ingredients on the storage shelf. She quickly had an idea.
She planned to make radish pig lung soup to moisten the lungs.
Coincidentally, a few days ago, Aunt Guihua had gotten someone to send a lot of pig’s heart, pig’s lungs, and pig’s liver.
In Aunt Guihua’s words, the ingredients that no one usually wanted could always be turned into treasures as long as they passed through Ah Tao’s hands.
Ji Zhao picked up the pig lung and began to wash it.
She squeezed out all the dirty things in the pig’s lungs, washed them repeatedly, and cut them into pieces. Finally, she scrubbed them twice with salt.
After the water in the pot boiled, she blanched the pig lungs in water and finally scooped them up.
The fresh radishes were peeled and cut into pieces. A little oil was added in the pot. After stir-frying them a little, she scooped them up.
In addition to the radish and pig’s lungs, Ji Zhao also picked a few plump dates, flattened them, removed the core, and placed them in the clay pot. Then, she added the sliced ginger. When the clay pot was boiling, she added the pig’s lungs and white radish and slowly cooked them.
Ji Zhao thought for a moment and made another bowl of meatball pork liver vermicelli soup.
Halfway through the afternoon, Immortal Crane pushed open the door and walked to the front yard.
At that moment, Shen Yao was teaching Ji Chen the horse stance.
“Brother-in-law…” Ji Chen, who had been squatting for 15 minutes, had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He subconsciously looked at Shen Yao beside him, his eyes filled with pleading.
“Hold on for another fifteen minutes.” Shen Yao raised his hand and straightened his arm. He said firmly, “Chenchen, if you really want to practice martial arts, you must suffer. You have to know that practicing martial arts is not something that can be done overnight. ‘
Ji Chen had only found out the truth about the fire in the Shen family’s courtyard by chance yesterday.
Back then, when his sister insisted that he accompany Eldest Brother Shen to the county city, he had been confused.
However, he listened to his sister and did not ask further.
However, he did not know that his sister was carrying so many burdens.
Therefore, he came to his brother-in-law and only said that he wanted to practice martial arts.
“Okay!”
Ji Chen gritted his teeth and persisted for another fifteen minutes.
Looking at the determination on his face, Shen Yao was very relieved.
“From tomorrow onwards, continue to practice the horse stance,” Shen Yao patted his shoulder and said in a low voice.
“Okay!”
Immortal Crane, who had witnessed this scene, fell into deep thought.
“Senior?”
From the corner of his eye, he saw the gray figure. Shen Yao immediately brought Ji Chen to the Immortal Crane. “Chenchen, this is your sister’s master.”
“Greetings, senior.”
Ji Chen bowed obediently.
The Immortal Crane kept sizing up Ji Chen’s face, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
This child’s face really resembled that old stubborn man!
“Are you Ah Tao’s brother?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Not bad.” Immortal Immortal Crane commented indifferently. Then, he pinched his wrist and carefully examined it.
The old stick-in-the-mud’s good grandson had been poisoned when he was in his mother’s womb. If this child was really related to the stick-in-the-mud, there would definitely be some traces in his pulse.
Unfortunately, Immortal Crane found the pulse was very stable.
“Senior, is there anything wrong with Chenchen?” Looking at his serious expression, Shen Yao could not help but feel a little nervous.
“No.” Immortal Crane let go of his hand and said calmly, “l only took his pulse because I saw that his lips were pale. However, from his pulse, he’s fine. He’s just a little weak?”
“By the way, I haven’t asked you how old you are.” “Senior, I’m just turned seven years old this year.” Ji Chen answered obediently.
“Seven years old?” Immortal Crane frowned again.
He was actually as old as the stick-in-the-mud’s missing grandson?
“Master, it’s time for lunch!”
Ji Zhao smiled and approached the three people who were talking. She said softly, “l made meatball pork liver vermicelli soup this afternoon!’
Fifteen minutes later.
Immortal Crane put down his bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction. ‘The meat is fragrant and the soup is strong. It tastes wonderful.”
“Master, do you want another bowl?”
“Alright!’
After a warm lunch, Ji Zhao immediately carried her bamboo basket and obediently followed Immortal Crane out the door.
“The season of spring is also a good season for the rapid growth of all kinds of herbs.” Immortal Crane explained as he walked, “Also, the habits of the herbs are different. The amount of herbs used to treat the patient has to be carefully considered. If the medicine is not used appropriately, it will only worsen the patient’s condition if it can’t be cured.”
“Those who study medicine must be cautious. A doctor can save people and harm them.’
“Ah Tao will follow Master’s instructions!’ Ji Zhao nodded with a determined gaze.
She studied medicine and was determined to save people.
“Have you memorized all the medicinal herbs in the book I left for you?” “All memorized.’
“By five o’clock in the evening, pick ten different herbs in the mountains and state their growth conditions and effects. Then list more than five prescriptions. ”
Caught off guard, an exam came. Ji Zhao was stunned at first, then she quickly adjusted her emotions and began to seriously identify the herbs.
At dusk, the brilliant sunset filled the entire sky.
A gentle breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
It was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
At the beginning of the month, Ji Zhao finally completed the exam.
‘You’re two hours late.” Immortal Crane said in a serious tone, “Copy the characteristics of these ten herbs ten times and hand them over by tomorrow morning!”
“Got it, Master.’
Ji Zhao lowered her head and accepted.
Later, when Shen Yao pushed the door open and walked into the house, Ji Zhao was still sitting at the desk, writing furiously.
“You haven’t finished?”
“No.” Ji Zhao yawned tiredly. There was a hint of self-blame in her tone. “Shen
Yao, I’ve disappointed Master today..”
