The next day was August 14, and there were long-term workers far away from home in the house who had already asked for leave to go back in advance, and Xia Zihuan also picked it up from the school, and he was very happy to see An Sheng in the evening.

Although An Sheng hated Xue's mother and daughter very much, he did not have any prejudice against this half-brother.

Xia Zihuan was not contaminated with the harsh and worldly habits of the Xue family at all, and his every move was more like the Xia family, and he was quite honest and close to An Sheng.

He heard that An Sheng was studying medicine with Leng Nanxian, and he admired it very much, looking at the bottles and cans in An Sheng's medical bag, there was also a little bit of desire to study medicine.

An Sheng hurriedly stopped him, persuaded him not to think like this, and then showed Zihuan the eye of the needle that he practiced acupuncture today, and pricked it densely on his body, exaggerating how boring it was, compared to his school.

Zi Huan was stubborn and disobedient when he was a child, and Xue often used the kind of thick needles that contained the soles of his shoes to scare him, so he had always had a fear of needles, and he was immediately frightened, and naturally dispelled this dangerous idea.

The Xue family had great hopes for the lone seedling Xia Zihuan, and they were bent on him, so that he could participate in the scientific expedition in the future and glorify his ancestors. If she learned that Zihuan had this kind of intention to study medicine, she would definitely suspect that it was her Xia Ansheng who plucked her, and it would be a bad luck.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't need to go to the medicine house, and in the evening, according to the rules of previous years, you have to go to the big room to worship the moon and have a reunion dinner.

An Sheng did not sleep too much, got up very early, pulled up his trouser legs, and continued to practice acupuncture in bed.

Leng Nanxian warned her many times not to practice this method that bordered on self-harm until she had practiced the basic stitches. When the technique is skillful and painless, you can formally apply the needle, and according to the fingertip needle feeling, you can grasp the depth of the insertion, the speed of advance and retreat, the severity of the force, and the amplitude of twisting.

An Sheng also specially sewed cotton needle packs by himself, practiced various techniques, and when he was more proficient, he used it on himself, and found that the effect was very different from the feeling when Leng Nanxian applied the needle.

When Leng Nanxian was teaching, it felt like a mosquito bite, and there was a slight pain. But when it's your turn, you have to frown and bite your teeth and endure it, exaggerating, like an awl piercing flesh, hurting your heart.

She understood that she was still unfamiliar with her own techniques, and she failed to make perfect, so she practiced harder.

She understands the truth of how it takes thousands of miles to take a step, but now, she is in a hurry, so she experiments on herself again, lifting, inserting, twisting, turning, concentrating, concentrating, calming down, and trying to reduce the pain of the needle.

After lunch, when An Sheng was piercing his knees like a hedgehog, Lian Po sent a brand-new Luo skirt and a few beaded flowers on the order of Xue, saying that it was for An Sheng to wear when he went to the uncle's mansion for a banquet in the evening.

Even the mother-in-law can't enter the house, which was agreed before.

The Dragon Boat Festival took over, and even the mother-in-law looked into the house unwillingly, and when she saw An Sheng, she was stunned, and asked the Dragon Boat Festival in a low voice: "Second Miss, this is ......?"

Dragon Boat Festival said casually: "Practice acupuncture." ”

Lian Pozi's eyes flashed, and she said tentatively: "Do you have to practice acupuncture on your knees?" How much does that hurt? ”

The Dragon Boat Festival shook his head and blocked the door tightly, blocking the curious prying eyes of Lian Pozi: "Naturally not, practicing on the knees should be to heal the knees, right?" I don't understand either. ”

Even the mother-in-law craned her neck and looked at it in surprise before shrugging her shoulders and leaving.

Back in Xue's yard, Xue was selecting hairpins for Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian, and they were gesturing in front of them, and when they saw her coming back, they asked casually: "Sent over?" ”

Lian Pozi nodded: "I sent it over." ”

"What did she say?"

Even the mother-in-law naturally understood who this "she" was referring to: "The second lady is practicing acupuncture, and she was picked up during the Dragon Boat Festival, and she didn't say anything." ”

Xia Ziwu was sitting in front of the dresser, combing her hair, and sneered disdainfully: "Hey, I really recognize it." ”

"But it's not," even the mother-in-law answered, while exaggerating the gesture: "The knees are densely pierced, and the needles are so old and long, they look seeping." ”

Xue Shi paused: "You said she pierced her knee?" ”

Lian Pozi nodded firmly: "Yes, it's really ruthless." ”

Xia Zixian casually shook a golden step shake in her hand, making a crisp sound of "jingle bell": "The current Xia Ansheng is no longer what it used to be, haven't you noticed that she has been very wrong since she woke up after that coma?" ”

Xia Ziwu put down the comb in her hand and turned around: "You also found out?" I also think this girl looks panicked now, not like she used to be. ”

"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, she suffered that loss, and naturally she will have a heart." Xia Zixian said faintly: "I feel that I am also a void and a snake, not as stupid as before." ”

Xue snorted coldly: "Don't look at her pretending to be very naïve, she has a lot of ghost eyes." Has even the mother-in-law forgotten the last time she suffered a loss in the silk village? It's clear that she fell into her trap. ”

It's okay that Xue didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, even his mother-in-law hated it so much that he gritted his teeth. I don't know how this matter spread the news, a few old pickled women in the yard saw her, and they always squeezed their eyebrows behind their backs, ridiculing her for being half looked at by others.

Although it is true that he is an old eunuch, he is not a man, but he is so old and old that he has lost face and is half dead.

"Don't let this girl fall into my hands, otherwise she will be tightened!"

Xia Zixian slowly stroked the tassel on the step, and her eyes suddenly tightened: "I bet that Xia Ansheng is practicing acupuncture so desperately, there must be a plan!" ”

"Figure what?" Xue Shi turned around and asked.

Xia Zixian sneered: "Mother should also remember that my grandmother's legs and feet are not good, the weather is cold, and her knees are sore, like a needle prick, and she is miserable." ”

Xue Shi was suddenly shocked in his heart: "You mean to say that Xia Ansheng wants to please your grandmother by this?" ”

Xia Zixian nodded: "It's not impossible." You think, she can be said to be isolated in the house now, and she will definitely want to find a backer. Isn't Grandmother her best helper when she never deals with you? ”

Xue couldn't help but gasp: "Hey, if you don't say it, I really didn't think of this." The last time she got married, this girl was close to the old thing, and she leaned forward with bad intentions. I guess she really has this purpose. ”

"She doesn't want to give her grandmother a needle at night, does she? How many days has she just been studying? It's so bold. Xia Ziwu said dumbfounded.

Xia Zixian groaned slightly: "Who can say for sure?" She's acting weirdly now! It's also surprisingly bold. ”

Xue slapped the hairpin in his hand on the table: "Since she wants to be courteous in front of the old thing, let's take the preemptive action and make her lose face." ”

Xia Ziwu almost immediately became excited and came to her senses: "Mother, what do you say?" I've been putting up with it for a long time. ”

Xue snorted coldly: "Didn't she think about it in her heart, and wanted her wings to harden and fly out?" I'll cut her wings first and see how she flutters?! As long as you can't get out of the door of the Xia family, it's the dish on our plate. ”
