For several days, An Sheng went out early and returned late, and he was extremely diligent.

Leng Nanxian formally taught her various acupuncture techniques, let her start from the most basic finger power, handed her a pile of white paper, and practiced fingering on it, until the force penetrated the back of the paper.

This kind of practice is undoubtedly boring and boring, An Sheng's fingers are swollen, grinding a thin callus, still meticulous, immersed in hard practice, and he doesn't dare to say half of the word "bitter".

Leng Nanxian said very little and rarely spoke to her, two of the three sentences were correcting the mistakes of her technique, and the other was a reprimand.

An Sheng was in awe and awe of him, and he didn't dare to be as poor as Qianzhou, and occasionally slapped the horse.

The collection of books on the shelves in the study, An Sheng can also use them to read, almost like a hungry thirst, as soon as he gets it in his hand, he concentrates and forgets to sleep and eat.

After dinner on this day, when I returned to Xia Mansion, it was already the moon in the east.

The porter greeted her and smiled at her: "Second Miss is finally back?" Madame told me that if you come back, you will go to the dining room to eat. ”

An Sheng was somewhat weak-hearted, worried that if he returned late today, the Xue family would make it difficult for him again. After thinking about it for a while, he was helpless and went straight to the dining room.

Xue's family, Xia Yuanwai, Xia Ziwu, and Xia Zixian are all there, and they have already eaten half of it, talking and laughing, and they are happy.

When Xia Ziwu saw her coming back, she snorted coldly: "I didn't come back until the third watch in the middle of the night, this heart is getting wilder and wilder, so it's better to just live outside." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Xue glared at Xia Ziwu, in front of Xia Yuanwai, he had always played the role of a loving mother: "Has An Sheng had dinner?" Come and sit down and eat. ”

"I've already eaten it."

An Sheng responded, greeted Xia Yuanwai and Xue's family, cleaned his hands, and sat down at the next place, and naturally someone stepped forward to hand over the dishes and chopsticks.

"How can you get used to it with the cold god doctor these days?" Xia Yuan asked loudly.

"Master Leng treats people kindly, and the people in the medicine house are also simple, there are not too many messy things, so they are naturally used to it. However, today is the day of the pharmacy to sit in the hall for consultation, and there is an endless stream of patients, so I came back late. An Sheng explained carefully.

Xia Ziwu covered her mouth and nose, and said bitterly: "Question? Does the patient have smallpox, leprosy and other disorders? Don't infect us. ”

An Sheng took the opportunity to stand up: "I ignored this, so I went back to the courtyard to bathe and change clothes." ”

Zixian, who was sitting on the side, grabbed her hand: "Hugh wants to listen to the third sister's joke, you went to study medicine for me, I can't be grateful, how dare I dislike it?" ”

Xia Yuan bowed his head and said, "Sit down, my father still has something to ask." ”

Xia Ziwu snorted coldly in disdain, and An Sheng could only sit down helplessly.

"How have you done with the acupuncture method in the past two days?"

"Leng Shen's medical knowledge is broad and profound, and my daughter has only learned a little superficial, so she can't mention it."

"Did the cold god doctor say that it will take a few days?"

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, and wondered what he meant: "Does the father plan to let his daughter learn acupuncture and moxibustion only a little bit?" ”

"If you learn this, you can use it enough for purple fiber. lest you go out early and return late, and your mother and sisters will be afraid. ”

"Scared?" An Sheng was surprised and inexplicable.

Xue Shi stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said without being salty or light: "I heard that there are only cold doctors and a little medicine boy in the medicine house, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, you stay in the medicine house every day, lonely men and widows, it is not good to spread it, don't ruin your reputation for this." ”

An Sheng only felt a tremor in her heart, she had only inadvertently talked to Xia Zixian about this matter, how did it reach Xue's ears? And there are so many suspicions, which have become a reason to prevent himself from studying medicine.

Some time ago, I politely rejected her "courtesy", and three meals a day were in the medicine house, could it be that I was annoyed and angry?

"Really?" Xia Yuanwai turned his head and asked An Sheng.

"Doctor Leng has always liked to be pure and doesn't like to be disturbed, so there are indeed fewer servants in the medicine house. There is also a sister-in-law Feng who cooks as a companion, but there is something at home in the past two days, and she is not there. ”

Xia Yuan bowed his head and said nonchalantly: "Mrs. Don't worry about this, if the cold doctor can look at my family's peace, it will still be her blessing." ”

"Blessing?" Xia Ziwu sneered lightly, glanced at An Sheng up and down with slanted eyes, and said in a strange manner: "With her shabby appearance, isn't my father afraid that she will be abandoned from the beginning?" The rush of business does not come down. ”

"Nonsense!" Xia Yuanwai scolded: "Is there anyone like you who slanders my sister like this?" ”

"Master," Xue Shi saw Xia Ziwu being scolded, and immediately continued: "Ziwu's words are not rough, and I am also most worried about this issue. If there are really any rumors and rumors, it is our daughter who suffers, isn't it? An Sheng learned acupuncture with Doctor Leng, I didn't stop it, but it didn't stop there.

Even if she has a family tradition, she can't help the world and be a goddess doctor, and she will always marry in the future. An Ran is already married, Ziwu also has a favorite sweetheart, An Sheng is a few months older than Ziwu, so it is better to pay attention to a good family for her, and it is best to marry her steadily, so as not to disgrace the family and ruin the good reputation of Ziwu and Zixian. ”

"It's not!" An Sheng was frightened, got up suddenly, and begged with Xia Yuanwai: "My daughter likes to study medicine, respects Master Leng, regards her as an elder, naturally abides by the rules, and does not dare to exceed the distance by half a point, please rest assured." ”

Xue Shipi didn't smile: "An Sheng is a good child, and my mother is naturally relieved of you, but people's words are terrifying, not that you are clean and self-conscious, so there is no gossip." How could Daddy hurt you? ”

Xia Ziwu added oil and vinegar to the side: "Will the thief still say that he is a thief?" It is necessary to prevent problems before they occur. ”

An Sheng was excited, angry at the bullfight, and his temper came up, so he was a little speechless: "Men and women are guarded, and they don't sit at the same table at the age of seven, but Xue Xiuliang is a foreign man, but he frequently goes in and out of the inner house." If it is about prevention before it happens, should the third sister be strict with herself, so as not to give birth to pickled things in the future. ”

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Xia Ziwu got up suddenly: "After going out for two or three days, my guts will be fat, and I can't control it!" ”

As soon as An Sheng's words came out, he regretted a little, and he shouldn't be greedy for a moment of quick speech. Accusing Xia Ziwu in front of the Xue family, isn't that self-inflicted humiliation? Besides, don't bring up the old things again, involve the Dragon Boat Festival, how can you control the development of the situation?

Sure enough, Xue's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at An Sheng and said angrily: "Xiu Liang, that's my nephew, your cousin, I haven't seen him for many days, I just came to ask me for peace, and even got in the way of your eyes, and ran to the master to provoke." Sure enough, this queen mother is embarrassed, the control is light and unruly, and the control is strict, and it is inevitable that she will be infamy. ”

When Xia Yuanwai heard that Xue was angry, he didn't ask the reason, and directly accused An Shenglai without saying anything: "You have been unruly since you were a child, and I thought you would be sensible when you were older, but I didn't expect you to be such a bastard." It seems that you should really listen to your mother's words, find a suitable person to send you out as soon as possible, and be disciplined by your in-laws, so as to sharpen your temperament. ”

With these words, the stone in An Sheng's heart fell down again, and his lips couldn't help but start to tremble.

At this time, talking about marriage and being embattled is not a good sign. After being reborn, he repeatedly warned himself that in the future, he should no longer be as reckless and impulsive as before, trying to be quick for a while, calm and composed, and knowing how to deal with it tactfully. Why are you a reckless man today?

She suppressed her anger vigorously, smiled far-fetchedly, and explained to Xia Yuanwai in a low voice: "Father, it's not that the daughter is ignorant, nor is she selfish, An Sheng's study of medicine is just for the sake of her family. If you can learn a little bit from the cold god doctor, you will be of infinite use for a lifetime.

No one has a hundred days, no moon has a hundred yen, and people eat grains and grains, who can guarantee that they will be safe and happy in their lives? If the daughter can learn a little about the art of the apricot forest, she will be able to do her filial piety for her father and mother in the future. Even if my daughter is incompetent and there is a cold doctor, if there are any incurable diseases in my Xia Mansion, I don't have to be at a loss, right?

In addition, the cold god doctor has no power and power, why is he respected by the people of my Chang'an, almost like a god, it is nothing more than a one-handed medical skill, healing the dead, medicine white bones, and saving many dying lives. The daughter just wants to be a person like the cold god doctor, and win the respect of the people of Chang'an for her father and mother.

If the father goes back on his word and obstructs his daughter from accompanying the cold god doctor, the daughter will be comfortable, but in the future, how can we ask for the cold god doctor? The rules in the medicine house save the dead and help the poor, and the cold doctor is unwilling to cling to the powerful, do you know, next time, will he still hinder the affection of others to come to the door? ”
