Shi Qingluo walked towards Xiao Hanzheng while Dumdy trailed behind and watched them warily.

“That’s right, I raise it to watch the house.”

Before Xiao Hanzheng could answer, the young man behind him asked in surprise, “A goose can watch the house?”

Weren’t they all for us to eat?

“Of course they can watch the house. They can even watch it very well.”

In the past, the big white goose performed much better than many dogs in those small video clips.

Moreover, geese were a very smart type of bird.

After feeding them a long time, they would be very obedient through frequent interaction with humans.

Shi Qingluo looked at him and asked Xiao Hanzheng, “You are?”

Xiao Hanzheng introduced, “This is Fei Yuzhe, Young Master Fei.”

He then introduced to Fei Yuzhe, “This is my wife, Shi Qingluo.”

Shi Qingluo smiled at Fei Yuzhe and greeted him. “Hello, Young Master Fei.”

Fei Yuzhe nodded. “Hello, my brother’s wife!”

He did not expect that the gentle and elegant Xiao Hanzheng would have a wife who was sallow and skinny.

Although she was a village girl, her elegant appearance changed some of his impressions of her.

Xiao Hanzheng turned to Fei Yuzhe and said, “Brother Fei, here’s my poor and small house. If you don’t mind, have a cup of tea before you leave.”

Usually, Fei Yuzhe wouldn’t drink tea in such a small farmhouse.

Firstly, he felt that it wasn’t clean. Secondly, he believed that there wouldn’t be good tea.

However, he had a good impression of Xiao Hanzheng and had asked him a favour.

Hence, he smiled and nodded. “Of course, I don’t mind.”

Xiao Hanzheng invited him to sit down.

Coincidentally, on the table in the courtyard, there was a tea set that Shi Qingluo and Bai Xu had used.

“My wife, I’ll have to trouble you to make us tea.”

He noticed that when he introduced his wife to Fei Yuzhe, he was a little surprised and in disbelief.

Xiao Hanzheng knew that he wasn’t looking down on her, but he probably did not expect that he was already married, and more so to a village girl.

He invited his wife to make tea because he wanted her to show off her skills in front of him.

He didn’t like that others were looking down on her.

He didn’t have the intention to hide her either.

Instead, he liked seeing her as a confident and extraordinary woman.

Shi Qingluo smiled. “Sure!”

So, she washed her hands, cleaned the tea set with hot water again, and started making Gongfu tea.

Fei Yuzhe looked at her.

She made the tea elegantly.

He was a little surprised again.

Especially after drinking the tea she made, he fell in love with it immediately. “This tea is mellow and peaceful, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet. It’s not bad.”

He asked again, “What brewing method is this?”

It was the first time he had seen someone brewing tea like this.

Not only were her movements elegant and pleasing to the eye, but the tea was also refreshing and mellow.

Shi Qingluo replied, “This is Gongfu tea.”

Then she repeated what she had told Bai Xu.

Fei Yuzhe smiled. “I see. It is very good to brew tea like this.”

Next time, he would want to learn it from Xiao Hanzheng.

In the future, he would make tea for his elders and friends to drink.

From the looks of it, Xiao Hanzheng’s wife wasn’t an ordinary village girl.

Just listening to her talking about tea gave him the feeling that she was very knowledgeable.

The three of them chatted as they drank.

Shi Qingluo rarely took the initiative to speak and mostly listened to their conversation.

She also heard some news as they spoke.

Fei Yuzhe’s family background wasn’t simple.

Now, he was asking her husband to treat his nephew’s illness.

An hour later, Fei Yuzhe saw the darkening sky so he got up and bade farewell.

“Brother Xiao, I’ll go back to the capital to pick up my nephew now. I’ll have to trouble you then.”

He had seen Xiao Hanzheng’s medical skills with his own eyes before.

In addition, he was the disciple of a divine doctor, so he still had high hopes on him.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Alright, Brother Fei, stay safe along your journey!”

After sending him out of the courtyard, Fei Yuzhe boarded the carriage and left.

Xiao Hanzheng closed the courtyard door and took the initiative to hold Shi Qingluo’s hand. “It’s been hard on you during my absence!”

Shi Qingluo leaned her head against his arm and rubbed it. She said generously, “It’s not hard. It’s pretty good. I just miss you a little.”

Xiao Hanzheng leaned over and hugged Shi Qingluo with his other free hand. “I miss my wife too when I’m out.”

“I won’t be travelling far in this couple of days. I’ll go to the county town to study and try my best to come back every day.”

When he returned home, he felt relaxed.

His mood also brightened up when he saw his wife.

This was something he had never experienced in his previous life.

No wonder many people said that a home would sustain a person spiritually.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Yes, this is good. The food at home is better than the food at the county school. You are also quite thin and need to be nourished.”

After his young husband fell ill, he looked a little thin.

Xiao Hanzheng’s heart warmed. “Okay.”

Shi Qingluo pulled Xiao Hanzheng to sit down. “Was Young Master Fei the patient you went to the prefecture to provide medical consultation?”

Listening to their conversation, it didn’t seem like it.

Xiao Hanzheng held his wife’s hand tightly. “No, it was an accident that I met Fei Yuzhe.”

He didn’t hide it. “I know how to provide consultations, because I inherited my skills from a divine doctor.

“There was once when I flipped through a medical book, I found hidden words in it. I discovered that it was an address.

“I looked for it and found the wooden house where the divine doctor lived, as well as the medical books and insights he wrote.

“But unfortunately, he had already passed away.

“So I became his only disciple. He hid the words in the medical book so that he could pass on his medical skills to a fated person. I was lucky to meet him.”

This happened in his previous life.

He only found the medical books a few months later.

Then, he studied them together with the insights left behind by his master.

In the rest of his life, he visited many famous doctors for advice and exchanges, so his medical skills became better and better.

However, as the divine doctor had passed away, no one knew that he wasn’t actually taught by him personally.

After taking reference to his little wife’s old Taoist master, Xiao Hanzheng adapted it and generously admitted to Fei Yuzhe that he was the divine doctor’s disciple.

This would also provide an explanation on his proficient medical skills.

As for why this divine doctor accepted him and how he was taught, he would let him guess.

He would probably find out about the matter between his wife and Doctor Shi sooner or later.

This would provide affirmation about his expertise in pharmacology.

After all, he was the one who discovered the problem with the medicinal residue.

With Fei Yuzhe as a witness, he would be able to openly practice medicine as a divine doctor’s disciple in the future.

He paused for a moment before continuing, “This time, I went early to the wooden house to collect my master’s medical books and insights.

“Then, I met Fei Yuzhe who came to seek medical treatment.

“He knew that the divine doctor had passed away and that I was his disciple, so he invited me to provide a consultation.

“However, his nephew was in the capital. I didn’t want to set foot in that place right now, nor did I want to delay my return time, so I declined politely.

“I told him that if he wanted me to provide treatment, he should bring him to the village.

“He was still uncertain about my medical skills.

“He was afraid that bringing his nephew to the prefecture would delay his illness.

“So, he followed me to the prefecture and saw with his own eyes that I treated a patient who was on the verge of death.

“He also invited me to treat two other patients who were seriously ill in the prefecture. Only then was he rest assured.

“Then, he followed me home. Firstly, he wanted to send me home. Secondly, he also wanted to see where our house is so that he could bring his nephew over.”
