Yuan Hongjun added insult to injury. “Do i look like that kind of a person? Oh right, I’m going to travel with Master and Brother Tang later. Don’t be too envious.”
Bao Linjiang panted heavily. It was obvious that he was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely convince my parents to let me travel!”
Yuan Hongjun didn’t believe that Little Abalone’s family would let him go. “Then, I’ll wait and see!”
Bao Linjiang ran into the house angrily.
After a while, he ran out again and glared at Yuan Hongjun. He was so angered by Yuan Hongjun that he forgot to invite his master and Brother Tang in. “Master, Brother Tang, please.”
The Bao family was speechless.
When did this kid have a master?
How could he acknowledge a young girl as his master?
That wasn’t right. Bao Linjiang was even more arrogant than Yuan Hongjun. A famous doctor had once come to the capital to travel and was invited to the Bao family. He found that Bao Linjiang was a potential medical talent and wanted to teach him, but Bao Linjiang refused to acknowledge him as his master. Now, he was calling a young girl Master. What was going on?
Bao Rongming specially took leave today to go home and entertain Tang Jinghong. “Jinghong, Miss Chu, please come in.”
The few of them followed the Bao family into the mansion and sat in the living room.
The servant girls served the expensive tea and left respectfully.
In the living room, Bao Linjiang’s grandfather, Bao Chuanli, the vice dean of the Imperial Hospital, was a thin and energetic old man. He smiled and said, “Jinghong, you haven’t returned to the capital for a long time, right?”
Tang Jinghong said politely, “It’s indeed been a while.”
Bao Chuanli smiled and shifted his gaze to Chu Qingzhi, revealing some confusion. “This lady is?”
Tang Jinghong looked proud and hurriedly said, “She’s my fiancee, Chu Qingzhi. She’s from the same village as me.”
Chu Qingzhi stood up and bowed to Bao Chuanli and his wife. “Greetings, Old Master Bao and Old Madam Bao.”
“Qingzhi, take a seat.” Old Madam Bao smiled and said, “You two are perfect.”
Bao Linjiang could not help but interrupt. “Grandpa, Grandma, Miss Chu is also my master. You have to treat her better.”
Instantly, the gazes of all the Bao family members present landed on Chu Qingzhi.
Chu Qingzhi had an excellent temperament and appearance. Such a girl was too common in the capital and was not enough to make people think highly of her. However, the fact that Tang Jinghong was engaged to her and that Bao Linjiang was so protective of her showed that she was not ordinary.
Many big families in the capital wanted to marry their daughters to Tang Jinghong. After all, being the wife of the general could enjoy status and reputation. Tang Jinghong was simply the most perfect son-in-law in the eyes of the big families.
However, Tang Jinghong rejected all of them.
When the news that he rejected the princess spread, everyone in the capital knew that Tang Jinghong had high standards and wouldn’t settle for ordinary girls.
As for Bao Linjiang, in the entire capital, other than Yuan Hongjun, he didn’t care about anyone else. He was also famous for being a rule-breaker and arrogant.
Bao Linjiang took the opportunity to present the pill he had concocted last night to Bao Chuanli. “Grandpa, take a look. 1 concocted this under Master’s guidance last night. Isn’t it better than yours?”
Bao Chuanli quickly took the pill suspiciously.
The bottle of pills was given to Bao Chuanli by an expert friend of his. He also tried to concoct it. Although he could distinguish the herbs it was made of, the pills he concocted were not as good as the ones given to him.
He poured out a pill. First, he looked at the color, then smelled it. Then, he scraped some powder off the pill with his nails and tasted it.
As he tasted it, he became more and more excited. This pill was better than the one his friend had given him.
He was in disbelief. “Linjiang, did you make this?”
Bao Linjiang said, “Yes, I’m the one who made it, but I can’t make it without the guidance of my Master. Grandfather, can you agree to let me acknowledge Miss Chu as my master?”
Bao Chuanli did not answer Bao Linjiang. He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, “Miss Chu, were you the one who sent the two prescriptions to the Imperial Hospital that day?”
Chu Qingzhi did not know about this.
Tang Jinghong explained, “Qingzhi wrote the prescriptions. It was an emergency that day, so 1 sent the prescriptions to the capital and asked you to prepare the medicine and distribute it to the various military camps. Qingzhi didn’t know about it.”
Bao Chuanli stood up and bowed solemnly to Chu Qingzhi. “Thank you, Miss Chu, for offering the prescriptions to save the lives of our soldiers.”
These two prescriptions had saved many people. He admired Chu Qingzhi greatly.
Chu Qingzhi was very surprised. Bao Chuanli’s status was high and noble, but he actually bowed to her.
She quickly stood up and bowed back. “You’re welcome, Old Master Bao.”
She thought for a moment. “Do you have a brush and paper? I’ll give the Imperial Hospital another prescription.”
Bao Chuanli quickly got someone to bring a brush and paper.
Chu Qingzhi picked up the brush and wrote down the prescription for malaria on the paper, as well as what to do when malaria was discovered and what to pay attention to during the process…
When she thought of how hopeless those refugees outside Xu City were when they found out that they had contracted malaria, her heart ached and she sympathized with them.
Bao Chuanli, Bao Linjiang, and Yuan Hongjun gathered around to watch.
When they saw the word “malaria”, the three of them trembled. This was a disease that they had been thinking of ways to overcome since ancient times, but they had not been able to. Yet, Chu Qingzhi had written a cure so easily.
How powerful was she to be able to write down such a prescription?!
Chu Qingzhi put down the brush. “Old Master Bao, 1 hope this prescription can save more people.”
Bao Chuanli said solemnly, “Miss Chu, don’t worry. I will definitely use the prescription to save the people.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Old Master Bao, I’ve been away from home for many days. I’m afraid that my family will be worried, so I’ll take my leave.”
Bao Linjiang said anxiously, “Master, wait for me. I’ll go pack my things and leave with you.”
Bao Chuanli said, “Wait!”
Bao Linjiang knelt down with a thud and begged, “Grandpa, I want to travel with Master and learn medicine from her. Let me go, please.”
Bao Chuanli suddenly felt that he had been a little too strict with this grandson. “I didn’t say no to you going. Since you are going to acknowledge her as your master, you can’t skip the formalities. Quickly bow and serve tea to her.”
Bao Linjiang was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed. “Grandpa is right.” He quickly turned his head to Chu Qingzhi. “Master, sit. I’ll serve you tea.”
Forget it, Chu Qingzhi thought. She had never taken in disciples before, but it wouldn’t hurt to take in mo little disciples. Chu Qingzhi sat on the chair.
Not to be outdone, Yuan Hongjun also went to get a cup of tea. Then, he knelt in front of Chu Qingzhi with Bao Linjiang. “Master, please drink the tea.”
Chu Qingzhi drank both cups of tea. From now on, the three of them would be master and disciple.
“Linjiang, go and pack your things. I have to rush home.”
Bao Linjiang replied excitedly, “Yes, Master.”
After he packed up, Tang Jinghong had already brought over fast horses. The four of them bade farewell to the Bao family, got on the horses, and rushed to the Chu Village.
Bao Rongming stood at the entrance and watched the four of them. He could not help but sigh. “Jinghong is lucky to have found such an outstanding fiancee.”
Second Brother Bao, Bao Linjiang’s father, said, “Linjiang is also lucky to have found such a powerful master.”
He knew his son well. Not only was he arrogant, but he was also hard to discipline. Now, he had become an obedient little rabbit.
Bao Linjiang’s mother wiped her tears. “My son has grown up. He doesn’t want to stay with me anymore.”
Second Brother Bao put his arm around his wife’s shoulder and walked back. “He’s been by your side for more than ten years. Aren’t you annoyed with him being around you all day long. Since he’s gone, we can try to make another child.”
Bao Linjiang’s mother pinched Second Brother Bao’s waist.. “Get lost!”
