He Jinchun looked embarrassed, and after a moment of silence, she forced out a wry smile and said, "Big sister is absolutely right."

He Jinchun sighed softly, turned to look at Lin Tingxu, and asked, "Master, how do you think this matter should be handled properly?"

Lin Tingxu put down the silver chopsticks in his hand and said, "How about this, Xianzhi, go find a few shops with good locations in a few days, and after you have chosen, ask your mother-in-law to select two shops, and she will use her private money to buy them for you.

As for the food stored in the warehouse..."

Lin Tingxu looked at Lin Yuning and said, "We have thousands of acres of fertile land. Eighty percent of the fertile land in Jingxuzhou belongs to us. Even if Xianzhi opens two grain shops, the grain sold in a year is not much. Why should elder sister care?"

Lin Yuning snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Since you've spoken, and he's Ling'er's husband, what else can I say? It's just that... you and your wife really didn't choose a good husband for Ling'er. Less than three days after the wedding, you're already relying on your parents' family for a living. If you tell others about this, won't you be laughed at by outsiders?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi felt ashamed, but he was reluctant to leave the two shops and the free food. His cheeks flushed and he lowered his head without saying a word.

He Jinchun smiled and said, "It's not like we're going to let Xianzhi run the grain store forever, so why should we just focus on the present? Who knows, maybe in the future, Xianzhi will get an official position, and the grain store will fall into Ling'er's hands, right?"

Zhu Xianzhi continued, "Mother-in-law is right. I know I am ashamed of Ling'er and will treat her wholeheartedly. When I go back today, I will study hard and will not let Ling'er suffer any injustice even if I have to fight for my life."

He Jinchun sneered and said, "That's great!"

Lin Luoling, who was sitting next to Zhu Xianzhi, glanced at Zhu Xianzhi coldly out of the corner of her eye, and nodded slightly to He Jinchun and her aunt Lin Yuning.

This scene fell into Chen Yin's eyes, and she laughed even more happily. Knowing that Zhu Xianzhi had fallen into a trap, she raised a glass of fruit wine again and drank it all.

At this time, Madam Qi entered the Moon-Viewing Pavilion, holding an exquisite white jade cup and followed by a painted curtain.

Aunt Qi placed the white jade cup on the long table in front of Zhu Xianzhi and said with concern, "Sir, drink this brown sugar ginger tea while it's hot, it will help get rid of the cold."

Zhu Xianzhi thanked him and took a sip, only to find that the brown sugar ginger tea was both sweet and spicy, and quite unpalatable.

Seeing He Jinchun looking at him, thinking that Aunt Qi was He Jinchun's personal maid, he hurriedly said, "This ginger tea tastes great!"

After saying that, Zhu Xianzhi picked up the white jade cup and gulped it down.

Madam Qi walked to He Jinchun's side and whispered in He Jinchun's ear: "Hua Lian was not able to go to Yongning Marquis' Mansion with our young lady, and she is very upset.

After hearing our young lady talk about so many dirty things in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, I felt even more angry.

I watched from the side and saw that the girl Hualian put a lot of spicy things in the brown sugar ginger tea and scooped out ten spoonfuls of brown sugar. It would be strange if the son-in-law didn't have a hoarse throat for seven or eight days after drinking this cup of brown sugar ginger tea."

He Jinchun pursed her lips and smiled, put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, and said to Zhu Xianzhi: "Xianzhi, since you have married Ling'er, why don't you stay in the Lin Mansion for a few days?

I heard that Jingfu Temple in Nanshan, Xuzhou, is a nunnery, but it is very popular. Ling'er suddenly had palpitations, and I was worried. I wanted to take Ling'er to Jingfu Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings tomorrow."

He Jinchun raised the corner of his eye and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Xianzhi was delighted to get two shops for free and have Lin give him food for free. Hearing what He Jinchun said, he naturally agreed.

He Jinchun said again: "I haven't seen Ling'er for two days. We have a lot of things to talk about. Is it okay for Ling'er to stay in my room tonight?"

Zhu Xianzhi hurriedly stood up and laughed hoarsely, "It should be so!"

He Jinchun nodded and turned to look at Lin Tingxu.

Lin Tingxu called the housekeeper Jiang Feng and ordered: "Men from the Lin Mansion are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. Find a top-quality bedroom for the son-in-law in the outer courtyard."

After saying this, Lin Tingxu knocked on the table three times. Jiang Feng's eyebrows moved, and he immediately understood.

Lin Yuru smiled and said, "I think Yangxinzhai is good."

Hearing this, He Jinchun agreed and said, "My little sister's suggestion is very good. Let's arrange for my son-in-law to go to Yangxinzhai."

After that, He Jinchun instructed Madam Qi to prepare new bedding and tea sets, and also said that more cakes and dried fruits of various colors should be prepared.

Madam Qi agreed, and just as she was about to leave with housekeeper Jiang Feng, she suddenly heard Lin Yuru shout:

"Butler Jiang, wait a minute. I see that my son-in-law has a serious cold. Find a quick-footed servant to call Dr. Pang from Rende Hall in Dongcheng District.

Let him take my pulse and write a prescription. After he drinks two doses of the medicine, his cold will be cured."

Doctor Pang is a master at Rendetang Pharmacy in Dongcheng District. Even Zhu Xianzhi has heard of Doctor Pang's name.

It was because Doctor Pang had an extremely stubborn temper and he only saw nine patients a day, and they had to please him. Even if someone offered him a hundred taels of silver to have Doctor Pang come to his house to see a patient, he would not agree.

I heard that the housekeeper of Prince An's Mansion specially invited Doctor Pang to go to the Mansion to diagnose Prince An, but Doctor Pang refused to go. So the housekeeper had no choice but to invite Doctor Yan from Rende Hall in Nancheng District to go to the Mansion.

Doctor Pang was so good at diagnosis that people gave him a nickname: Pang Qifu. An emergency disease could be cured with just seven doses of medicine.

But Zhu Xianzhi didn't know that Dr. Pang's acupuncture was better than prescribing medicine.

Hearing this, Chen Yin laughed secretly, and everyone in the Lin Mansion knew exactly why Lin Yuru specifically asked Jiang Feng to invite Doctor Pang.

Jiang Feng saw that Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun both nodded at him, and he happily responded, then turned around and left the Moon-Viewing Pavilion with Nanny Qi.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yuning and Lin Yuru both said they were a little sleepy and wanted to go back to their room for a rest.

Everyone had already eaten and drunk their fill, so the banquet ended.

Lin Tingxu called Jiang Feng in front of the Moon Viewing Pavilion and asked Jiang Feng to take Zhu Xianzhi to Yangxinzhai in the front yard.

Zhu Xianzhi bowed to Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun, and said a few words of concern to Lin Luoling before following the housekeeper Jiang Feng towards Yangxinzhai.

Before they had gone far, an old woman came hurriedly to report that Doctor Pang had arrived at Yangxinzhai.

Jiang Feng quickened his pace, and Zhu Xianzhi followed closely behind him, sneezing.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of Yangxinzhai, Zhu Xianzhi was stunned.

Green bamboos are planted in the mist on both sides, and the two-story building with wooden carvings is extremely elegant, as if it is a place for immortal cultivation.

In the middle of the courtyard stood an old man in his forties or fifties with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a white brocade robe with a light blue coat on the outside. If it weren't for the medicine box on his back, Zhu Xianzhi would have thought that this man was an immortal.

The old man heard the footsteps and turned around impatiently, "I haven't eaten yet. There are so many doctors, why did Butler Jiang call me?"

Needless to say, this person is Dr. Pang.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Why do I have to ask you to come? It's because the young lady's husband has caught a cold, and the master and the mistress are very worried, so they called you here."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng raised his hand and bowed to Doctor Pang three times, winking and saying, "Madam has ordered that Doctor Pang must treat my son-in-law well and make sure that he recovers as soon as possible."

Dr. Pang was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "So that's it!"

Jiang Feng realized that Doctor Pang had understood the hidden meaning of his words, and hurriedly invited Doctor Pang and Zhu Xianzhi into Yangxinzhai.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Pang casually felt Zhu Xianzhi's pulse, took out a cloth bag, and said, "No need to prescribe a prescription, I will give you acupuncture."

Jiang Feng understood and quickly let Zhu Xianzhi lie down on the couch.

Without taking off his robe, Doctor Pang was holding a silver needle with an extremely fast hand movement. Jiang Feng could only see the shadow of his hand flashing back and forth.

The next moment, Dr. Pang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, housekeeper Jiang can take out the needle in a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, Dr. Pang turned around and left, carrying the medicine box.

Jiang Feng took another closer look and saw that Zhu Xianzhi had thirty or forty silver needles stuck all over his body, and the needles were inserted very deep. He could not move at all, and only his eyes could blink.

Looking at Zhu Xianzhi from a distance, he looked like a hedgehog at this moment.

Jiang Feng shouted in his heart: Dr. Pang’s acupuncture is really wonderful!
