The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the two brothers of the Su family returned to their respective courtyards to take a short rest. Not long after, Su Zhe quickly came in with Su Zheng's medicine and said, "Mr. Su, your medicine has been boiled. Please drink it while it's hot."

Su Zheng nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Azhe, just put the bowl over there, I will drink it later."

Su Zhe waved his hands quickly and said in panic: "Sir, you are so polite. It is my honor to take care of you!"

Su Zheng was a little uncomfortable with the fact that he had been living a free life in the countryside. So he said to Su Zhe, "Zhe, there is nothing to do right now. Why don't you take a rest? If I need any help, I can call you over."

Su Zhe bowed to Su Zheng respectfully and replied, "Then I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, just let me know." After Su Zheng nodded in agreement, Su Zhe slowly left the room.

Su Zheng silently reached out his hand and carefully picked up the bowl of black medicine. He blew gently, then tentatively touched the wall of the bowl with his fingertips to feel the temperature. After finding that it was no longer as hot as when it was just boiled, he took a deep breath, as if facing a difficult challenge, and resolutely picked up the bowl and drank the bitter liquid inside.

As soon as the medicine entered his throat, Su Zheng's face instantly became distorted, his brows knitted tightly together, and his lips trembled unconsciously. The strong bitter taste spread in his mouth, making it almost unbearable for him. He quickly put down the bowl, reached out to pick up the teapot on the table, poured himself a full cup of water, and then drank it in big gulps, hoping to dispel the bitter taste in his mouth as soon as possible.

After the discomfort in his mouth eased a little, Su Zheng could no longer suppress his anxiety and immediately reached out to open the pharmacopoeia that Doctor Yao had left for him. This medical book was obviously prepared for beginners, and it mainly recorded some common herbal knowledge. Each herb was listed in detail, not only with their names, but also with analysis of their patterns and shapes, and even information such as the growth environment and applicable diseases were noted one by one. It can be seen that the author spent a lot of effort and was very attentive when writing this book.

Su Zheng was concentrating on reading this precious medical book, fearing that he would miss any important details. He read page by page, line by line, his eyes fixed on the words and pictures on the pages, trying to memorize the knowledge in it. For him, this is not just an ordinary book, but also a guide and key to his path to medicine. He knew that only by thoroughly understanding this knowledge and applying it to other situations, would he have a hope of passing the test of Imperial Doctor Yao.

At this time, Su Lun did not take a lunch break like usual. His elder brother's surgery time coincided with his reporting day. This was too coincidental. Su Lun frowned slightly. After all, it was not good to ask for leave on the first day of taking office. He felt a little guilty and could only ask other people in the mansion to take good care of him... I just hope everything can go smoothly.

Since he had nothing to do, Su Lun simply went to the martial arts training ground to practice archery again. In the past few days, Su Lun's progress has been extremely remarkable. Although he still cannot hit the target every time, his accuracy has increased to 70% to 80%. Although Su Lun himself was not particularly satisfied with this result, Qingfeng beside him was really surprised. The talent of this Captain Su was really amazing. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued him so much!

Recalling Xiao Anning's appearance when she was shooting arrows that day, her movements were smooth and seamless, and she was so heroic and handsome! Su Lun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "She is really worthy of her..." At the same time, a sense of frustration also arose. He gritted his teeth tightly and made up his mind secretly: I must work harder! I can't fall behind too much! After all, only by constantly improving myself can I get closer to her...

At this moment, Xiao An Ning was busy with her mother, making various preparations for Xiao Anya's upcoming marriage. Before this, Xiao An Ning had not put too much thought into learning how to manage the household, because she was still young, and Mrs. Xiao had never forced her to do so. However, as she was about to turn fifteen, and it happened to be such a great opportunity, Mrs. Xiao decided to bring her second daughter, who had been naughty since childhood, to her side and personally teach her the way of housekeeping. She was worried that Xiao An Ning might be unhappy about this, but unexpectedly, she agreed with joy. It made sense, after all, the friendship between the two sisters has always been very deep, and now that she has the opportunity to contribute to her sister's wedding, she naturally has to devote herself to it and take it seriously.

The Crown Prince's wedding has always been handled by the Left Prime Minister's wife and the Princess. However, as the Left Prime Minister's wife is getting older, she can only provide some reference opinions on most matters. The Princess is still responsible for handling all matters. The reason why the Princess came to the General's Mansion in person today is because there are some things that need to be discussed and decided with Madam Xiao. Of course, Princess Yuehua is also here with them!

When Madam Xiao felt that the relevant matters had been basically discussed, and seeing that her daughter's performance today was indeed very outstanding, she turned to the princess with a smile and suggested: "Your Highness, the topics we just discussed may be a little boring for the younger generation. How about letting An Ning accompany Princess Yuehua to go out for a walk?"

The princess smiled slightly after hearing this, and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true! From what I've seen, these two little girls can't wait to go out and play!" After that, the princess turned her eyes to the two of them and told them, "Then you two should go out and have fun by yourselves!"

After getting the eldest princess's approval, the two of them immediately stood up, bowed to her, thanked her, and then quickly turned around and left.

As soon as they left their elders' sight, the two girls smiled at each other, "Yuehua, you've been to this general's mansion so many times, you must be tired of it. Why don't we go out and play?" Xiao An Ning said excitedly.

Princess Yuehua blinked, "There's been a lot going on in the capital lately, and I haven't been out for fun for a long time. Let's go. I heard that Tangji has launched new preserved fruits, let's go take a look."

The two hit it off immediately and got on the carriage to go to Tang Ji.

There weren't many people in Tang's shop at this time. The two quickly selected their favorite snacks and preserved fruits and were about to go shopping. Suddenly, Xiao Anning was bumped by someone. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have fallen flat on her face. Xiao Anning secretly rejoiced, but she heard a weak voice in her ear: "Second Miss Xiao, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I was just chatting with the maid and didn't see you. I hope you don't mind it."

Xiao An Ning looked carefully and saw a plain-dressed woman standing in front of her. She had a pretty face, but her face was a little pale and she looked very frail. Behind her followed a little maid who kept apologizing with her head down.

Xiao An Ning felt a sharp pain in her teeth, and secretly complained in her heart: "I really didn't check the almanac before going out today! How could I run into her here?

This woman was none other than the third daughter of the Right Prime Minister's family. Strangely enough, every time Xiao An Ning met this third daughter, nothing good seemed to happen. Although these things were often Xiao An Ning's own bad luck, this third daughter was extremely good at playing the role of a weak and pitiful person, causing people around her to mistakenly believe that Xiao An Ning was bullying her.

Xiao An Ning felt helpless about this. She knew the methods of this Third Young Lady, but she could not directly expose her true face.
