Old Master Nan snorted as he watched the three people basically discussed dicine on the side. He was old and in his entire life, he basically spent his ti fighting on the frontline and his knowledge of dicine was nothing more than the basic first aid to save his life when it was necessary. After all, he was injured so often on the frontline and without this knowledge, he would have long died. But the knowledge he had was far less than these three.
So it didn't take long for him to feel at loss when he listened to their words. He felt as if he knew the words but if they were gathered together, he didn't understand anything. Old Madam Long only talked a bit and then watched these two exchanged various knowledge with satisfaction. She glanced to the side and laughed when she saw Old Master Nan at loss. "Don't think that you can laugh at , Old Woman." Old Master Nan was annoyed when he saw Old Madam Long's expression. Old Madam Long chuckled and said, "Just admit that you're not as knowledgeable as , you annoying man."
"Tsk."
Old Master Nan snorted but he couldn't say that he knew more than Old Madam Long. After all, dicine was indeed part of the knowledge that he was not good at. Old Madam Long didn't have the interest to make it difficult for Old Master Nan, though. "Why did you suddenly co here again? Do you really plan to co every day until the little master or miss born?"
Because Nan Hua was only in her early stage of pregnancy, it was not visible to others yet. Though, Old Madam Long had already arranged for healthy diet for Nan Hua just to make sure her granddaughter in law could stay healthy. And Old Madam Long was troubled because this annoying old man from the Nan Family kept on paying a visit to her residence. This made her wonder whether she should just kick him out so that he couldn't co here. "I'll co here as much as I can," Old Master Nan said in annoyance.
As much as he could?
Old Madam Long's lips twitched when he heard that and she looked at Old Master Nan helplessly. It seed that she didn't expect that Old Master Nan would be so free.
Should she ask her disciple to let the officials find sothing to arrange for Old Master Nan to do?
But Cheng City was no longer Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. There were not many people who could give order to Old Master Nan. "You're really annoying." Old Madam Long snorted. "But I won't let you take my granddaughter in law away."
"She's my granddaughter!"
"She's my granddaughter now!"
"You old $%^UI!"
"^&*(O!"
Nan Hua and Imperial Doctor Si stopped talking when they heard the two old people argued again. Nan Hua thought that her grandfather and grandmother in law would finally stop fighting.
As it turned out…
She was wrong.
These two people would never stop fighting if they could fight all day long. If it was not because their body function had started to deteriorate as they aged, they might have long scolded each other every single day. "Grandpa and Grandma are just having their daily fight," Nan Hua said in sowhat helpless tone. For these two people, Nan Hua really couldn't do anything. "Don't worry, I know Master's temperant," Imperial Doctor Si said with a smile. He had learned under Old Madam Long for so many years, so he knew the relationship between Old Madam Long and Old Master Nan. If one had to say, these two people were really unique.
They could scold each other violently but when it really mattered, they would stand by each other's side. Saying that they were enemies were wrong and saying that they were friends, one would wonder who could scold their friends so fiercely like this. "I see." Nan Hua nodded. Old Madam Long didn't really like to pretend in front of others, so Nan Hua was not too surprised when she heard Imperial Doctor Si's words.
"Does Grandma's other disciples are also here?" Nan Hua suddenly asked. Old Madam Long didn't only accept one disciple in her entire life. While the number was not as many as Traveling Doctor Liu, Nan Hua knew that there were a few people. "No." Imperial Doctor Si shook his head. "They choose to follow His Majesty and settle in the new city with their family mbers."
Nan Hua nodded and looked at Imperial Doctor Si. "In that case, why did you not follow them?"
"I have a big family in Cheng City," Imperial Doctor Si replied with a wry smile. "Besides, I'm already quite old and it's close to ti for my retirent. Rather than going to a new place when I'm already old like this, it's better for to stay at ho and serve the other Imperial Family mbers. Not all Imperial Family mbers left Cheng City."
When Imperial Doctor Si said this, Nan Hua also understood.
Emperor Yang Zhou left to the new city and brought his entire family. But his close and imdiate family mbers didn't include so people.
For example, the second prince. There were also the distant cousins who were not close to Emperor Yang Zhou and had nobility title but no power. For these people, Cheng City is their root.
They knew that following Emperor Yang Zhou might lead to a better future prospect. Yet at the sa ti, they didn't want to leave behind the lives they used to know. Because of this, they stayed behind in Cheng City.
And a few Imperial Doctors would have to stay behind to treat them when they were injured. After all, they were still part of the Imperial Family and they needed Imperial Family's doctors.
Imperial Doctor Si was one of the few who stayed behind. The other disciples under Old Madam Long wanted to give it a try, so they left.
