"next."

Tang Bowen was about to continue taking the patient's pulse when he looked up and saw an old acquaintance.

"Hey, Dr. Tang, we meet again."

"Hey, it's been a long time since we last met. What brings you here?"

"Look at what you said. We are old friends. I have been at home recently. You know I am at home with my wife. I have got a lot of good things recently. I will bring them to you when I go back. This time, I still need to trouble Doctor Tang to check my wife's pulse."

"Alright, alright, stop being so funny. Where's your wife? She needs to be treated. Don't disturb the people behind you."

"Go, go, go."

Qin Yan stood up and brought Jiang Zhi, who was sitting next to him, over, and also collected the things on the table.

Let Jiang Zhi sit on the stool opposite Tang Bowen and put one hand on the table.

Tang Bowen picked up a handkerchief and placed it on Jiang Zhi's hand and began to take her pulse.

Jiang Zhi looked up at Tang Bowen, then at Qin Yan. Qin Yan was standing next to Jiang Zhi, his hand on her shoulder, his eyes fixed on Tang Bowen's expression.

I was afraid that something bad would happen to Jiang Zhi.

Tang Bowen stroked his beard and stopped feeling the patient's pulse. "You are recovering well. It seems that you have been taking the tonic medicine last time. I will change the prescription for you this time. You should drink it according to this prescription and don't drink it again."

Qin Yan listened carefully, and only spoke after Tang Bowen finished speaking, "Old Tang, is my wife really okay? And is there anything wrong with the prescription last time? Will it cause any harm to my wife's body?"

Jiang Zhi also followed Qin Yan in a daze and stared at Tang Bowen and blinked.

Tang Bowen did not raise his head to answer, but wrote on the prescription in his hand, "Don't worry, your wife is very healthy now. The last prescription was a tonic medicine because your wife was weak. Now that she is healthy, you should change it. Too much tonic is not good, but don't worry, it's okay."

Qin Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that everything was fine, "That's good."

Tang Bowen handed the written prescription to Qin Yan, "Here, take this and go to the back to get the medicine."

"Okay." Qin Yan took the prescription and took Jiang Zhi to the counter at the back to get the medicine.

Tang Bowen took a sip of tea and continued, "Next."

Qin Yan asked Jiang Zhi to remain in her original seat. He took the prescription and went to get the medicine. When he walked to the counter, he saw that the boy who was getting the medicine was Tang Bowen's little apprentice from last time.

Qin Yan put the prescription on the counter, and the little boy took the prescription and turned around to get the medicine, not paying any attention to who was sitting opposite him.

Qin Yan spoke up, "It's you, little disciple."

The little boy turned around in confusion and said, "Ah, you are the guest from a few days ago."

He turned around and recognized the man, and continued to grab his medicine, "Why are you here again today, young master?"

"I brought my wife here to check on her. She's pregnant now and I'm worried about her."

"Then congratulations to this young man. My master is very capable. You will definitely get better if you follow the prescription." The little boy picked up the medicine and packed it on the counter.

"Thank you for your good words." Qin Yan smiled at him, took the medicine bag, handed him a few taels of silver, turned around and left.

He helped Jiang Zhi up, turned around and said loudly to Tang Bowen who was taking her pulse: "Old Tang, we are leaving first. We will come to see you next time."

Jiang Zhi also bowed slightly to Tang Bowen.

Tang Bowen waved at them with his free hand, "Let's go."

After returning to the carriage, Qin Yan put the medicine bag in a small drawer and asked the coachman to go to Zuimanlou.

Jiang Zhi leaned on Qin Yan, "Did you really make an appointment with Cheng Ziang?"

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Cheng Ziang owes me a meal. I should get it back as soon as possible."

"But when did you call him? When he came back, he was with me, and I didn't see you send anyone to pass on the message, did you?"

"This, I had someone deliver it after I left the palace. Otherwise, he would have come here to complain this morning because of his impatience and failure to get the result."

"Well, it seems so." Jiang Zhi thought about it and realized that given Cheng Ziang's personality, it was possible that he would do that.

After a long and swaying journey, the carriage arrived at Zuimanlou.

It was not yet meal time, so there were not many people sitting in the hall eating.

Qin Yan asked the waiter to take them to the box to wait for Cheng Ziang to come.

The waiter led me to a private room on the second floor near the window.

After Qin Yan and Jiang Zhi sat down, Qin Yan asked the waiter to bring a pot of fruit tea, a few plates of cakes, and some fruits.

Let Jiang Zhi sit by the window and see the bustling street outside. She has been bored these days.

Qin Yan took out a handkerchief from a small cloth bag and carefully wiped the table in front of Jiang Zhi.

The waiter came very quickly with a large tray, put the food on the table and left.

Qin Yan moved the pastries in front of Jiang Zhi and poured a cup of tea next to her.

Jiang Zhi took out the storybook she hadn't finished reading from the small cloth bag, leaned her head on Qin Yan's shoulder and flipped through the book.

Qin Yan tilted his head to look at his baby who was leaning obediently on him, reached out his hands to embrace her, and stroked her hair. His baby was becoming more and more dependent on him.

Seeing that her lips were a little dry, he picked up the straw from his bag, held the small teacup with the straw in it and handed it to her mouth.

After taking two sips, he put down the cup, picked up the pastry and fed it to her mouth.

Then he gently wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth with his hand.

It was almost noon when Cheng Ziang came over. When he came in, Qin Yan was feeding Jiang Zhi some pastries.

Looking unkindly at someone who is making noise without knowing it.

Jiang Zhi also raised her head slightly and looked towards the door.

Cheng Ziang walked directly to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water to drink. He felt a little disgusted when he drank it, "Tsk tsk, this tastes really good and sweet. Alas, it's still not as good as wine."

Qin Yan rolled his eyes at him in disgust and said, "If you want to drink, go outside. No one will care about you. You can't drink here."

Cheng Ziang frowned, "Why? Are we still brothers? How can you chase your own brothers away?"

"Don't even mention my own brothers. Even if it's my own brother, I will turn hostile to you if you drink in front of my wife. My wife is pregnant now, she is very precious, and she cannot be affected in the slightest."

Qin Yan held Jiang Zhi in his arms and glared at Cheng Ziang as if he had done something against the law.

Cheng Ziang felt very wronged. He scratched his head with his hands for a few times before he understood. He slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. My sister-in-law is pregnant, so I definitely won't drink. How can I make things difficult for my own brother? Don't worry."

"Good to know." Qin Yan snorted coldly. He kept his eyes on Jiang Zhi and talked to Cheng Ziang.

"Why are you here so late?"

Cheng Ziang paused for a moment before realizing that he was being addressed. "Ah? Oh, when you told me the news yesterday, my sister was there too. When she heard that I would come today, she wanted to come too. It just so happened that she had been with the princess and the others during those days, so she said she would bring them over as well to tell them the good news."

After saying that, he carefully looked at Qin Yan's face, "Well, Qin Yan didn't tell you before that they would come too, would you mind? If you mind..."

"No, you're overthinking it. I'm not a stingy person. Besides, it's you who's treating us today. Fang Zheng is the one paying, so you can invite as many people as you want."
