Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Mu Yao returned to Suiyuan with a full stomach. She called Xiaozhou a few times before realizing that they had already gone to Wutai County.

Although Mu Yao can cook, she is lazy and doesn't want to go to the pawnshop to take risks to buy people. It's better to open the restaurant as soon as possible, so that she can move in and live in the restaurant without worrying about food and drink.

The next day, Xu Qingcheng arrived at Sui Garden early and brought a sumptuous breakfast. Mu Yao dazedly finished her breakfast and followed Xu Qingcheng to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liuli Street is very close to Shangjing, and it took less than half an hour to get there. This was also Mu Yao's first time in Shangjing.

The streets and alleys of Shangjing are much wider than those of Yangming Town. The main street can accommodate eight carriages running side by side. The streets are lined with shops and the variety of goods is richer. Large mangoes, dragon fruits, and colorful pineapples that are rarely seen on weekdays can be seen everywhere here.

The buildings here are not like those in Yangming Town, which are only two or three stories high. There are several magnificent buildings like the Treasure Pavilion in Shangjing.

The common people were dressed more delicately and decently. No one was wearing coarse linen clothes. They all had extraordinary temperament and looked like fairies. There were also many noble ladies. They saw no less than five or six noble ladies along the way. Although their looks were ordinary, their noble aura made them look more dignified and graceful. Mu Yao found that the noble ladies in Shangjing paid great attention to body management. The wide waist and fat hips seen in Huaxi Village and Yangming Town did not exist here.

Mu Yao visited the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time. She was nervous when she thought about meeting Xu Qingcheng's family. Xu Qingcheng repeatedly stressed that there was no need to prepare gifts, but Mu Yao felt it was inappropriate. She happened to pass by a "Mopin Pavilion" and picked up a few small ornaments to show her appreciation.

"Brother Xu, the gift may be small but the thought is great. I don't know if your family likes these small ornaments." Mu Yao was thinking about whether she should buy some snacks, jewelry or something.

Xu Qingcheng was embarrassed. Mu Yao bought three big items: three pieces of white deer paper, a "Han Zhen pen" with white ox horn as the handle and wool as the hair, and one liang of Hui ink and one liang of gold. Mu Yao bought two liang of precious ink. A total of 580,000 liang! What is the concept? Almost a year's expenditure of the Prime Minister's Mansion! A Yao actually said it was a small ornament. Although she is a rich woman now, the speed of spending money is too amazing. Xu Qingcheng is a little worried about whether A Yao can get married in the future. Thinking of this, Xu Qingcheng felt uncomfortable again.

Princess Ye Jingshu and Prime Minister Xu Yuanming received a letter from Xu Qingcheng, telling him that he had met a miracle doctor who could cure Xu Licheng's illness. They were excited and waited at the door early. They knew that those hermits were fickle, so they dared not neglect them to show their sincerity. As long as Xu Licheng could be cured, they would kneel down to the miracle doctor. As for Xu Ruchen, he heard that his third brother wanted to introduce a buyer to him, so he rushed back from Xiangyang City early in the morning.

When Mu Yao saw the princess and Prime Minister Xu, she bowed solemnly, her posture was perfect. Ye Jingshu and Xu Yuanming were stunned for a long time when they saw Mu Yao, and only after Xu Qingcheng reminded them did they quickly help Mu Yao up.

Ye Jingshu looked at the teenage boy, her doubtful eyes drifting towards Xu Qingcheng. Seeing her son calm and composed, she felt relieved. You can't judge a person by appearance. It's normal for a genius doctor to know the secret of keeping young. So she said enthusiastically: "Divine Doctor Mu looks very young, and he has the secret of keeping young."

Mu Yao choked, not knowing how to answer. What does it mean to have a secret to stay young? She is only eighteen years old this year.

Xu Yuanming smiled and walked towards Mu Yao into the main hall. "Dr. Mu, you must be tired from the journey. I have prepared some wine to welcome you."

Seeing the two elders being so enthusiastic and respectful, Mu Yao couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly said, "Princess, Prime Minister Xu, you don't have to be polite. Brother Xu treats me very kindly, just like a real brother. You can just call me Mu Yao."

Ye Jingshu was choked up for a moment and forgot to continue. Doctor Mu called Qingcheng Xu "Big Brother", so he is really a little boy? Is there such a little doctor?

Xu Yuanming reacted much faster: "We are not estranged anymore, let's call the miracle doctor A Yao like Qingcheng did."

"Okay, okay." Mu Yao nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Xu Qingcheng treated her like a family member, and Mu Yao also felt particularly close to his parents.

During the journey, the princess and Prime Minister Xu were too polite and caring. Mu Yao was so nervous that she didn't even have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the mansion. She heard from Xu Qingcheng that there was a peach tree in the mansion, which was as thick as four people holding hands and hugging it. This peach tree belonged to the national treasure variety of Dayun, named "Bodhi Fairy". It bloomed twice a year. In spring, the trees were full of red flowers, and in winter, the trees were white and crystal. It was the princess' dowry when she got married.

"How old is Ayao this year?" Prime Minister Xu asked, looking at Mu Yao lovingly. Xu Qingcheng was indifferent, and there were not many people of the same age that she could get along with. Yun Su from the Yun family was one of them, but unfortunately the family fell into decline.

"Your Excellency, I am eighteen years old this year." Mu Yao replied truthfully.

Prime Minister Xu stroked his non-existent beard and nodded with an unclear expression.

Ye Jingshu felt that this young man looked very honest. Although he was not good-looking, his eyes were clear and bright. He was a kind-hearted child. She liked him from the bottom of her heart and said with a smile, "Ayao, you don't need to call her the eldest princess or Prime Minister Xu. Just call her aunt and uncle." She figured it out. As long as Xu Qingcheng was willing to come back, it would be good. This child had been wronged and had not returned home for more than a year. Now that he brought his friends back, she was very happy! Whether Young Master Mu could cure Li Cheng's illness or not, it would not affect her love for Mu Yao.

Xu Yuanming said quickly, "Yes, A'yao, you can call us uncle and aunt, and come visit us often. Our mansion is very big, and I'm not bragging. In Shangjing, there are few mansions as elegant as mine."

Xu Qingcheng was very happy that her parents liked Mu Yao, so she said, "Yes, A Yao. I'll take you to see the Bodhi Fairy later."

Xu Yuanming laughed heartily and said proudly: "This Bodhi fairy is a peach tree. Apart from the one in the palace, this one in my house is the only one of its kind."

Mu Yao had wanted to go see it for a long time, and what they said made her even more eager. However, she hadn't done anything yet, so she suppressed her excitement and said, "Uncle, don't worry, it won't be too late to go after I have my second brother Xu's legs checked."

Xu Yuanming asked uncertainly, "I heard from Qingcheng that A Yao's medical skills are extraordinary, better than the "Medical Saint" Jian Xin?"

Mu Yao pondered. She remembered that Xiao Zhou once said that the medical saint Jian Xin had treated Yun Su, but Yun Su's condition did not improve. So she was indeed better than Jian Xin. Saving the dying and the wounded was an extremely serious matter. She had an obligation to reassure the patient's family, so she was no longer modest: "Yes."

Xu Yuanming didn't expect Mu Yao to give such a straightforward answer. Wouldn't most people be polite and modest before he flatters her? Xu Yuanming was suddenly at a loss.

Ye Jingshu was overjoyed when she heard this: "If A Yao said she could save him, then she could save him. My son's illness has been cured." She had seen dozens of famous doctors before, including Wen Tairan, the head of the imperial doctors in the palace, and Jian Xin, the medical saint among the people, but none of them were as confident and straightforward as Young Master Mu. For this reason, she also chose to believe in Mu Yao unconditionally.

Mu Yao could hardly hold back her smile. Hey, she only said that her medical skills were better than Jian Xin's, but she didn't say that she could cure Brother Xu's illness. She hasn't even seen the patient yet. Being praised by the eldest princess like this, she must be under a lot of pressure.

Mu Yao glanced at the gifts beside her. The two elders were so enthusiastic that she almost forgot about it. It was so rude. She quickly stood up and said, "This is the first time A Yao visits you, and I hurriedly prepared some small gifts. I hope you won't mind." After that, she handed over the gift.

The princess and Prime Minister Xu had very good eyesight and had noticed the words "Mopin Pavilion" long ago. Although they didn't know what was inside, Mopin Pavilion was the most expensive calligraphy shop in Shangjing, and every piece was exquisite and expensive.

The eldest princess suddenly felt a little guilty. The young man had come all the way to treat her child and spent so much money.

"You are too polite, kid. Nothing in Mopin Pavilion is cheap. How can you afford to pay for my son's medical treatment? Qingcheng, you are such a fool. Why didn't you stop me?"

Xu Qingcheng smiled bitterly. How could he stop her? He had never been able to stop A-Yao from spending money. He was now looking forward to what his parents' expressions would be when they knew that these few small gifts were worth 580,000 taels.

Xu Yuanming was so happy that he tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth. He had not seen much money since he married the princess. He had to report his daily expenses to the princess, so he only had two or three boxes of silver after saving for more than 20 years. He had been coveting the treasures in the Mopin Pavilion for a long time, and he would not dislike any of them, not at all! He just wanted to see what treasures were in it, whether there was the Dunhuang ink and Qilian Lake wolf hair brush that he had been coveting for a long time, these two things would cost at least 30,000 taels.

"Old Zhang, bring me my box of Yulongjing." The princess ordered.

The box of Yulongjing in the hands of the princess was a tribute from Xueming Kingdom two years ago. Xueming Kingdom is a vassal state of Dayun Kingdom. Yulongjing is a specialty there and is very precious. A few days ago, she went to the palace to help mediate the conflict between the queen and Imperial Noble Consort He. Emperor Qingyuan gave the princess three taels of tea to express his gratitude. As for why the two people in the harem had a conflict, they have to thank Zhao Huaian and Gu Huiran. For their two big babies, the two masters of the harem competed in public for the first time, causing Emperor Qingyuan a headache.

Mu Yao had heard of the reputation of Yulongjing. Xu Qingcheng tasted her Tianshan Snow produced in Penglai Island which cost 8,000 taels a few days ago and lamented that only Yulongjing from Snow Tea Country could be compared with it in the world.

Mu Yao liked this return gift very much. She would definitely taste this imperial tribute tea when she returned.

The eldest princess liked Mu Yao more and more. This little boy was pure and innocent, with no fake expression on his face. She hadn't seen such a pure child for a long time. He was much more likable than the three children she gave birth to.

Mu Yao winked at Xu Qingcheng, who immediately understood: "Dad, Mom, why don't I take A Yao to see my second brother first?"

Ye Jingshu and Xu Yuanming said yes. Xu Yuanming tried his best to suppress his inner hope. He had suffered too many setbacks before. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just treat it with a normal heart.

It had been a long time since Xueyue Pavilion had been so lively. The whole family was present except Xu Ruchen, who had not yet returned home.

Mu Yao looked at Xu Licheng. Although he had been bedridden for many years, he looked pretty good, which showed that he was a positive and optimistic man.

Xu Licheng looks 50% similar to Xu Qingcheng. He has clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, a long nose, and a slightly raised mouth that shows his good mood. He wears a jade crown on his head and a green silk shirt. He has no extra accessories and his nails are neat. You can tell at a glance that he is a self-disciplined and clean person.

While Mu Yao carefully looked at Xu Licheng, Xu Licheng was also observing Mu Yao silently. This was the miracle doctor that Qingcheng had highly recommended. Unexpectedly, he was younger than him. It was rare for Qingcheng to come back, so it didn't matter. As long as my parents were happy and Qingcheng was happy, that was enough.

"Second Brother Xu, let me check your legs for you." Mu Yao stepped forward and lifted up Xu Licheng's trouser legs. The muscles in his legs were not atrophied, which showed that Xu Licheng took good care of his body and insisted on doing massage and rehabilitation training every day. He did not give up on himself and was a good man with a strong and positive character.

Hearing Xu Qingcheng say that his second brother had been paralyzed in bed for many years, Mu Yao couldn't help but admire Xu Licheng's tenacity.

After a careful examination, Mu Yao determined that Brother Xu's leg had a great chance of recovery. This was inseparable from his long-term self-care. Without this persistence, even the gods would shake their heads.

Mu Yao raised her head and said seriously, "Second Brother Xu's leg muscles have not atrophied. It can be seen that Second Brother Xu cherishes his legs very much. Because of this cherishment, there is a great hope that his legs will recover."

The room was quiet. Several people stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief, especially Xu Licheng. What did he hear? This young man said he could cure his legs? Was he hallucinating?

Seeing their skeptical attitude, Mu Yao was speechless. Did she look so unreliable? Did she have to look like an immortal with a white beard?

It seems that her decision to open a restaurant was right. Being a doctor here would probably lead to starvation.

Mu Yao took a deep breath and comforted him, "It really can be cured."

A pair of tender white jade hands tightly held Mu Yao's hands. The eldest princess stared at Mu Yao with tears in her eyes and confirmed again: "Ayao, please say it again, can you cure my son's disease? Did I hear it correctly?"

Xu Yuanming and Xu Qingcheng both looked at her excitedly, while Xu Licheng stood aside with his eyes closed, his meticulously crafted robe wrinkled by his fists, as if he was quietly waiting for God's verdict.

Mu Yao had interned in a hospital for half a year, and she was very familiar with this kind of hopeful look. She nodded firmly.

"That's great, God bless my son. Licheng, did you hear that? Your leg can be cured, it can be cured." Ye Jingshu hugged Xu Licheng and burst into tears. This child has been well-behaved since he was a child. Since he became paralyzed, the eldest son blamed himself very much. He visited famous doctors every day and spent all his money. He was too guilty to dare to step into Xueyue Pavilion. Seeing that the eldest son was 28 years old and his lifelong event was still unsettled, she and Xu Yuanming were extremely anxious and tossed and turned. Finally, Lady Shen of the Duke of Yingguo Mansion was willing to marry him, but Xu Ruchen still kept running out. The number of times he met Lady Shen could be counted on five fingers. Now it's good, Licheng's leg can be cured, and the family can have a reunion dinner next year.

Xu Qingcheng pulled Mu Yao over and said, "Ayao, what medicinal materials do you need to cure my second brother's illness?"

Ye Jingshu stopped crying when she heard this. She turned around and said quickly, "Yes, A-Yao, just tell me what herbs you need. I will find them even if I have to search all over the world."

Mu Yao said calmly, "It's not that complicated. It only requires a small operation. It's just that the tools needed for the operation are not available here, so they need to be specially made. By the way, do you have any Ma Fei San here?"

They had never heard of what Mu Yao was talking about, surgery or dispersion. They were all stunned for a moment.

Mu Yao understood everything from their expressions and said, "It's okay. I can make the Ma Fei Powder. I'll draw some drawings of the surgical instruments for Brother Xu later. You just need to find someone to make them strictly according to the dimensions on my drawings."

Regarding the minor surgery Mu Yao mentioned, she briefly introduced it to the others. She had tried to use the most concise and calm tone possible, but it still managed to cause their unanimous panic.

"What, you want to operate on the leg? This... is this possible?" Ye Jingshu and Xu Yuanming's faces changed, and Xu Qingcheng was not much better, looking at Mu Yao in horror. Only Xu Licheng opened his eyes and said firmly: "Just do as Dr. Mu said." This young man was the first doctor in many years who said that he could cure his leg. Whether successful or not, he was willing to bet the rest of his life.

Mu Yao admired Xu Licheng more and more. He was a hidden dragon in the abyss. Once he recovered, he would surely soar into the sky.

Mu Yao gently patted the back of the princess's hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I major in surgery. When it comes to surgery, I am a professional. As a doctor, I can't guarantee anything, but I am 95% sure."

Ye Jingshu didn’t quite understand: “What does it mean to major in surgery?” The others looked at her curiously.

Mu Yao coughed a few times and said, "In short, medicine is my main job. When I was studying medicine, I focused on surgery. Surgery simply means all treatments other than internal adjustments. You can understand it this way. Most operations on the body fall into the category of surgery."

Seeing that they were still puzzled, Mu Yao continued, "Let me put it this way. For example, most of those that require medication fall into the category of internal medicine, such as taking medicine. Most of those that require surgery fall into the category of surgery."

Xu Qingcheng was the first to come back to her senses: "Ayao, aren't you a disciple of Master Xie and good at calligraphy and painting?"

Mu Yao smiled and said, "Brother Xu, it's my fault that I didn't tell you before. Medicine is my specialty and the field I am best at. As for calligraphy and painting, they are just my hobbies that my family asked me to learn since I was a child."

What! Xu Qingcheng was shocked! Calligraphy and painting are just A Yao's hobbies!

Xu Qingcheng's mind was full of the word "hobby". Oh my god, what did he hear? Medical skills are what Mu Yao is best at, so his medical skills must be at the pinnacle. I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to rank first in Yunqi.

Thinking back to the first day he met Mu Yao, he had never been so happy. His A Yao was truly amazing in the painting world and his medical skills moved the gods and ghosts.

Xu Licheng seemed to be able to see his own heroic figure walking briskly. He had been silent for too long, so long that Shangjing almost forgot about him, "Mr. Qinglan", one of the four young masters of Shangjing.

The Princess and Prime Minister Xu were so excited that they were incoherent. They hadn't been this happy in a long time. They just held Mu Yao's hands tightly and thanked her earnestly.

Everything is self-evident, how pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world. Mu Yao shrugged her sour nose, she suddenly missed home, her parents, grandpa, and Mu Chen and the others.
