Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei looked at Zhang Miaozhen, who was flipping through the book with her head lowered. If I were a man, I would like this type of girl. Although she looked weak, she was smart and not weak. She was a gentle person, so she was definitely a considerate person. It would definitely be very pleasant to get along with her!
The fate between people was so wonderful. There was love at first sight that would entangle a lifetime, and there was also friendship at first sight.
As they say, the quality of friendship is not necessarily measured by the length of time of that friendship.
Zhang Miaozhen flipped through a few pages and shook her head. “I really don’t understand this. Usually, I have read some medicine books at home. After all, the old lady at home has rheumatism and bone pain all year round. She needs medicine to wash her feet. Therefore, my sisters have learned a little about medicine. But medical skills… that’s a little too confusing for me.”
“Oh? Rheumatism?” Liu Shimei asked. “Is it Grand Secretary Zhang’s palace?”
She was very interested when it was related to medicine.
Of course, she knew about the Zhang family’s situation.
Four generations lived under one roof.
Grand Secretary Zhang was Zhang Miaozhen’s grandfather. Fie was 50 years old this year and had an elderly mother who was in her 70s. In this era, it could be considered a long life.
“Yes, my great-grandmother.” Zhang Miaozhen could not understand, so she put the medical book back to its original place and added tea to Liu Shimei’s teacup. “Great-grandmother had an illness when she was young, which caused her to suffer from bone pain whenever the weather changed. She couldn’t even walk well. Especially on rainy days, it was so painful that he could only lie on the bed.”
Liu Shimei thought to himself, ‘Master said that the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation is very mysterious. Basically, there are some illnesses that ordinary people think are difficult to treat. There’s nothing that the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation can’t solve. Then, does rheumatism and bone pain count as well?’
“Have you tried acupuncture?” she asked.
Zhang Miaozhen replied, “I have. I have received the Emperor’s grace and ordered the Imperial Physician in the palace to visit. However, it’s all useless.”
Liu Shimei pursed her lips. “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll pay you a visit. 1 can also visit the old lady. My medical skills are shallow, but I have a great teacher. Perhaps my master will have a way.”
“Eh?” When Zhang Miaozhen saw Liu Shimei reading medical books, she thought that she was tired of reading cla.s.sical books, so she wanted to read some other topics for fun. She did not expect that she really went to study medicine?
“It’s the changing of the season.” Liu Shimei smiled and said, “With the rainy season coming, she might suffer. After we return from the Peony Banquet, I’ll go visit the old lady.”
Zhang Miaozhen smiled and said, “Thank you, Eldest AAiss Liu!”
She was very surprised.
When ordinary people said ‘next time’, ‘in the future’, or ‘there will be a chance’, most of them were polite excuses.
For example, I’ll treat you to a meal next time. Most likely, it would not be realized.
However, Liu Shimei was speaking the truth?
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “You see, we’re quite compatible. Don’t call me ‘Eldest Miss Liu’. That isn’t a nice name. In the future, you can call me Shimei.” Sometimes, friendship was just like that.
Zhang Miaozhen obviously had the same feeling as her. She smiled and said, “Alright then, you can call me Miaozhen too.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled before they started talking about something else. Liu Shimei was very talkative, and Zhang Miaozhen was a good listener, so they chatted quite happily.
Liu Shimei only returned to her room when lunch was delivered.
After that, she rested for a while and waited for the banquet in the evening..
