Chapter 978 Dese
Nevertheless, Mr. Zheng's face still showed joy.
Two weeks ago, the Zheng family consulted a doctor who said that Zheng Wanru had been exposed to too much cold and would likely have difficulty conceiving in the future.
Why did the Zheng family support Wanru's divorce?
The situation has already escalated to this point. Even if they tolerate it and continue living in a daze, Wanru will not be able to have her own children in the future. Her mother-in-law is also mean-spirited. What is the point of her life in the second half of her life?
We should take her home; the Zheng family can afford to raise their daughter anyway.
Zheng Wanru was both worried and happy. It would be great if her body could recover, but she was afraid that there might be changes in the divorce.
"Also, for external injuries, I'll prepare an ointment when I get back..."
Fang Nanzhi, unaware of their thoughts, rambled on and on.
In short, she needs comprehensive treatment.
Treatment involves a combination of methods, including medicated baths, oral medication, and acupuncture, but this presents a problem.
The treatment period was too long; Fang Nanzhi had only been back in her hometown for a little over ten days.
The treatment of the illness cannot be left to other doctors, mainly because male doctors are not good at acupuncture and may not be as confident as Fang Nanzhi.
"Don't worry about that. Next year, I'll bring Wanru with you to Beijing." Mr. Zheng was determined for his granddaughter's sake.
“Alright, sir, you can stay at my house then. My house is very large, and I can give you a separate courtyard. I will also ask my master to take a look at Wanru's house, so that we can be more confident.”
Fang Nanzhi was very enthusiastic.
She knew that the Zheng family had no businesses in the capital.
Mr. Zheng just smiled and didn't rush to agree.
The Zheng family is still wealthy enough to rent a house in the capital. They'll see what their granddaughter thinks then.
As for how to treat the illness, Fang Nanzhi talked for half an hour, listing out a medicinal bath prescription and a medicine prescription.
While the servants went to fetch the medicine, she gave Zheng Wanru acupuncture.
After a set of acupuncture treatments, Zheng Wanru was too weak and fell asleep without realizing it.
Fang Nanzhi took the needle, didn't disturb her, and quietly left the room.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw her teacher and brother playing chess under the eaves, so she ran over excitedly.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the man: "Sir, how do you plan to avenge Wanru?"
It seems that Wanru means she only wants a divorce and won't pursue anything else.
But Fang Nanzhi was taught by Mr. Zheng, and she knew that although he looked gentle, he was not a submissive person.
Mr. Zheng glanced at her helplessly: "Why are you, a young girl, worrying about these things?"
Fang Nanzhi glared at him: "Sir, I am your good disciple and Wanru's good friend."
Isn't it only natural that she's worried?
Mr. Zheng slowly placed his pieces on the chessboard.
"What's the rush? We're not the ones who should be in a rush right now."
Fang Nanzhi looked at the chessboard and realized that although the master's face remained calm, the killing intent in his moves was very strong.
She wisely kept quiet.
After having lunch at the Zheng family's house, the brother and sister said goodbye, as they still had to go to the county town.
Mr. Zheng personally saw them off.
As the carriage emerged from the alley, Fang Nanzhi sighed, "The master is very angry."
"Yes, not only that, there should also be self-blame." Qin Yan saw it more clearly.
It's no wonder Mr. Zheng was angry; even Qin Yan felt furious after learning about it.
The Li family has gone too far in bullying people.
His sister must never have to suffer like this again.
The brother and sister were walking back in low spirits when they remembered they still needed to buy bird's nest.
As it turned out, Wei Dao had already bought everything while they were at Zheng's residence, so they could just leave the city now.
An hour and a half later, they arrived in the county town.
Unfortunately, it was a day off at Songhe Academy, so the brother and sister didn't get to see their old friend.
However, Master Wei and Master Cheng were there.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, the academy will be holding exams, and the teachers are working hard to prepare the questions.
When Qin Yan arrived, the two teachers wanted to test him and asked him to give them a question as well.
Qin Yan immediately tensed up, thought carefully for a long time, and then wrote down the question.
The teachers could tell his current progress in his studies just by looking at the question, and they didn't mind that the question was too difficult for the students of the academy.
Everyone praised Qin Yan for his diligence.
Qin Yan said several modest things, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Nanzhi glanced at the questions and felt a little sorry for the students who were about to take their final exams.
However, Master Wei did not let her off the hook. Knowing that she had studied under Mr. Deng and had never stopped reading, he asked her to solve the problem and write down the answer.
Fang Nanzhi: ...
She became cautious, carefully read the question, and thought of a solution before starting to write.
It took a full fifteen minutes to finish writing.
Master Wei looked at her article with admiration in his eyes: "It was not in vain that Dean Zheng hired your teacher for you. Now your article is not only well-written and full of allusions, but also has a strong character."
Fang Nanzhi scratched her head and smiled shyly: "It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching."
They were afraid that the teachers might test them again on a whim.
The brother and sister changed the subject, inviting them to their home for a feast.
After the teachers agreed, they made an excuse to take their leave.
Master Wei saw that it was getting late, so he did not try to keep him.
The brother and sister both breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the academy.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zheng didn't test them, but Master Wei did.
Sigh, why are students always being tested? It's so tough.
By the time the brother and sister returned to the village, it was already dark.
But the village was still very lively; laughter could be heard from afar.
Fang Nanzhi lifted the carriage curtain and peered out, somewhat puzzled: "That looks like the direction of the pond?"
The small pond in the village belongs to their family, or rather, it was obtained by her father through extortion—no, exchange—back then.
"Uncle Wei Dao, go take a look over there," Qin Yan instructed.
Wei Dao drove the cart in a different direction.
As they got closer to the pond, they could finally see clearly that Fang Tong was standing on the ice, gliding along and then suddenly doing a split.
He fell, but he didn't cry out in pain, and the people around him laughed.
As soon as she got out of the car, Fang Nanzhi noticed that her father was wearing roller skates.
Because she thought roller skates were fun, the prince gave her a pair. Later, her father saw them, found them interesting, and made a pair for himself.
Since they're all made of wood anyway, he hasn't lost his craftsmanship.
Looking again now, Tiezhu, Uncle Erwa, and the others are also skating on the ice.
Everyone was wearing roller skates; they must have been made today.
Many of the men in the village looked on with envy.
"Are these shoes something people from the capital play with? They look weird, but they're quite fun."
"As expected of the capital city, they have all kinds of entertainment. Even ice games have been made into something fancy."
"Tongzi, I see you've fallen badly. Why don't you get down and rest for a bit? I'll play for you for a while, okay?"
Fang Tong shook his head and struggled to stand up from the ice.
"It's nothing, I'm perfectly fine."
As soon as he stood up, he saw his son and daughter, waved to them, and called them to play together.
Qin Yan and Fang Nanzhi exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat eager to try.
So, two more people were added to the skating team.
Fang Nanzhi has mastered ice skating; she skates with such smoothness and graceful movements.
The men were stunned.
"So these shoes are slippery. I thought they were meant to be slipped on and played with."
"Zhizhi is so good at having fun. Fang Tong and the others look so clumsy."
