Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Chapter 205 Plan

Xi Yunling was helping to serve dishes in the hall with the old servants. Su Chengyi saw Lu Ziqing standing under a pine and cypress tree in deep thought, so he walked over and called him.

"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Ziqing glanced sideways, "Nothing, where is Prince Su?"

Su Chengyi patted the trunk of the pine and cypress tree, looked up and complained.

"I thought I was the most playful one, but I didn't expect Chen Ji to be even more playful. I couldn't wait any longer, so I took a slingshot and asked Wu Ji to play with him while I went to the back garden."

Lu Ziqing smiled, "He looks tall and strong, but he actually has the mental capacity of a twelve or thirteen-year-old. He's at the peak of his energy. It would be strange if you could outlast him."

Su Chengyi looked at the house and sighed.

"Brother, now that we've found Sister Yunling, are you still leaving or not? If you want to leave, there's no need to go through so much trouble to move here. This house looks like it's designed for permanent residence. What are your plans, brother?"

When this mentioned troubles, Lu Ziqing sighed.

"I came to the capital for my master and my senior sister. Now that the matter is settled, it is time for me to leave. However, the letter of resignation I submitted has fallen on deaf ears. The Minister of Public Security must have not submitted it."

Su Chengyi pursed his lips in thought. "There are so many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and they're all just as good as you. Why would the emperor just refuse to release you? And that Tongzhengshi you mentioned, does he have a grudge against you and is doing this on purpose?"

Lu Ziqing shook his head, thinking of what Chen Jing had said when he refused to let him go. At first, he only wanted to get revenge by approaching those people, but he never thought that these complications would arise.

Escape quietly like his master? That was obviously not an option. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Being an official in the court is not as easy as being free and unrestrained in the martial arts world. You have to carefully consider every word and action. If you are not careful, you will bring trouble to those around you. Even if I leave in the future, I may not go back. You and Lao Su will take over the shops in several cities."

"Do you really want to travel and practice?" Su Chengyi thought about it and sighed again.

"But there's really nothing good there. It's better to travel. Don't worry about my aunt, brother. I've always had someone looking after her. That bastard doesn't dare to ask her for money. Oh, right..."

He glanced at Xi Yunling who was busy in the main hall.

"Second brother, since Sister Yunling has come to the capital, my eldest brother probably won't go back with me, right? Doesn't that mean... I'll be alone from now on?"

Lu Ziqing also looked into the room, then turned to look at Su Chengyi.

"What's there to be afraid of? After all, you're the eldest brother. How can your brother take you with him every day when he gets married? Besides, he's been regretting it for so many years. Now that Senior Sister has finally appeared, he must seize this opportunity."

"I miss the days when we were together." Su Chengyi sighed.

"We went up the mountain to dig herbs and sold them on the street, we went to free clinics together, and during the Chinese New Year we drank sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by Sister Yunling. But now, that feeling can never be returned."

"All beautiful things are short-lived." Lu Ziqing said, "Okay, go check on Prince Su and don't let him get hurt."

Not long after Su Chengyi left, Su Chengfeng and Yang Zhounan came in with gifts, and Lu Ziqing joked.

"You all really treat me like I'm moving into a new house, with all these boxes, big and small, there's no room in the house anymore."

Su Chengfeng put down his things and glanced at the pile of brocade boxes on the floor and table. Yang Zhounan said for him, "These are the masterpieces of the Marquis. They have nothing to do with us."

"What? Another..."

When Lu Ziqing came to the new house, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and the servants were already preparing here. He thought that some ministers in the court had sent it in advance and never thought that it was Xiao Yan.

He was surprised and asked, "Why did the Marquis send these?"

Yang Zhounan was sitting at the table, peeling and eating a few peanuts, while Su Chengfeng casually opened a few boxes.

There was everything from jade and porcelain vase ornaments to pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and teacups. They were all top-quality new products, so Lu Ziqing could move in with just his suitcase.

Su Chengfeng looked at them with shining eyes. Yang Zhounan said, "He didn't know what you liked, so he bought the whole set. You don't need to buy more because it's convenient for you. I had someone bring it over this morning."

Lu Ziqing couldn't express himself in words at the moment. He had never had such a headache before. Just when he was worried, Su Chengfeng had a happy face and brought up all sorts of things.

"Hey, Ziqing, if you were a woman, I would have urged you to marry the Marquis. Look at all these things, this house, it's such a great thing that many people can't even dream of."

Lu Ziqing stared at him speechlessly, "Do you want to keep this good thing for yourself?"

Su Chengfeng smiled heartlessly and didn't respond. Only Yang Zhounan was eating peanuts and savoring the taste secretly while watching Lu Ziqing walk out the door.

The Xiao Yan he knew would never be so reckless and spend so much energy on someone else.

Blocking the knife for Lu Ziqing with his bare hands was the beginning of what felt incredible. And when he vomited blood from his stomach, Xiao Yan worked day and night and even cooked for him himself to take care of him. This was abnormal. After going through many things afterwards, until this move, it was confirmed.

Yang Zhounan threw the peanut shells on the table and spoke to the person who was squatting on the ground looking at the gift.

"You're the only idiot who's in the dark."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengfeng stood up and was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from behind the table.

"Who's the idiot?"

The two turned around and saw Xi Yunling carrying the dishes and placing them on the table. Yang Zhounan subconsciously looked at Su Chengfeng, and sure enough, that guy had already come over with a smile.

"Yunling, let me help you."

Xi Yunling counted the dishes on the table and said casually, "I haven't cooked these dishes for many years, so I don't know if they taste good."

Su Chengfeng moved the plate and said with a smile: "The dishes you cook are the most delicious. Even Ziqing can't compare to you."

Yang Zhounan was so angry when he saw his despicable look that his teeth were itching. The peanut shells in his hand made a crackling sound. He couldn't stand watching the two of them talking and laughing, so he turned around and walked out.

Xi Yunling retracted her gaze and asked, "General Yang, what's wrong? He seems a little unhappy."

Su Chengfeng glanced at the departing figure and said heartlessly, "He's always like that, with a stern face all day long, as if everyone owes him money. Don't say anything about him."

"No matter what, he is your superior. You can't say that in the future." Xi Yunling spoke in the tone of her younger brother.

"You and Ziqing came to the capital thanks to their help. You should be more careful with your words in the future, lest others think we are ignorant of etiquette."

"I know." Su Chengfeng glanced around and saw no one around. "Yunling, I... have something I want to give you."

"What is it?" Xi Yunling asked.

Su Chengfeng took out a small gift box from his arms and handed it over. Xi Yunling opened it and saw that it was a silver hairpin inlaid with white jade.

She was surprised, "Why are you giving me this? It's not my birthday."
