The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

And so, after Li Anran and Li Muxia finished their daily exercise the next day, they waited for the old general and General Li to return to their residence. Then they brought badminton equipment to the old general's Wude Garden and happened to see General Li preparing to leave.

Li Anran quickly stepped forward and took General Li's arm, saying sweetly, "Father, Sister Xia brought some good things, please don't leave yet."

General Li looked at his youngest daughter with doting eyes and said with a smile, "Oh, Mu Xia brought some good stuff, I must take a good look at it."

He glanced at what Hong'er was holding, and although he was curious, he didn't rush to ask.

As they spoke, they followed Li Muxia and Li Anran to the study to find the old general. When they arrived, the old general had just come out of the study, looking at them with a smile.

Li Anran let go of her father's arm, ran to the old general, and sweetly called out, "Grandpa!"

The old general patted Li Anran's head affectionately.

Li Muxia smiled and called out, "Grandpa!"

When the old general saw Li Muxia, he thought about how his little granddaughter would be leaving the general's mansion in a few days, and his heart ached a little. But he still smiled and nodded at Li Muxia.

General Li looked at the old general and said, "Father, Mu Xia brought some good things. I've been curious about them all the way here."

"Oh, what is it?" the old general replied in agreement.

Li Muxia took the badminton shuttlecock from Hong'er's hand, and the old general and General Li also quickly came forward to take a look. Seeing this thing they had never seen before, the old general's curiosity was also piqued.

He looked at Li Muxia with a puzzled expression, waiting for her answer.

Li Muxia then explained the rules and gameplay of badminton, and even played a game with Li Anran for a while. The old general and General Li were also eager to try this novel game.

Li Anran and Li Muxia quickly handed their badminton rackets to the old general and General Li.

The two couldn't wait to start playing as soon as they got their rackets, and they got more and more into it, almost unable to stop, until Li Muxia called them to stop, at which point they reluctantly gave up.

At this moment, Li Anran took the initiative to act as a coach, teaching the stretching exercises he had learned yesterday to the old general and General Li. However, since both of them practiced martial arts every day, this amount of exercise would not be enough to make them unable to lift their arms tomorrow.

In this way, badminton quickly became popular in the general's mansion. Whenever the old general had free time, he would take his badminton racket and play badminton with the people around him. Even Li Anjin often took badminton out to play with his classmates.

The Shangguan family was no exception. From the old lady to children as young as six or seven, everyone loved badminton and even had several sets made by craftsmen. Their master and fellow apprentices would play hundreds of rounds in the courtyard every day, praising themselves for their good taste in taking on such a precious apprentice.

And so, badminton quickly became popular in Kyoto, spreading like wildfire. Even the craftsman's shop was overflowing with orders delivered by servants from various households, and other craftsmen followed suit. Of course, all of this happened after Li Muxia left. If she knew, she'd probably regret not asking her boss for royalties.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was Li Muxia's birthday.

The General's Mansion was bustling with activity today. The old general and General Li had arranged everything two days ago. Today was both Li Muxia's coming-of-age ceremony and the day she was to become an apprentice.

The old general and General Li rushed back to their residence after the morning court session, and even Li Anjin took a day off today.

The guests from the Shangguan family also arrived at the General's Mansion early. Once everyone had arrived, the old general, seeing that it was almost time, began to preside over Li Muxia's coming-of-age ceremony and apprenticeship ceremony.

After going through the whole process, Li Muxia felt like a puppet, following her grandfather's instructions to complete the entire process. However, she was still very happy. Seeing that she had gained so many loving family and friends in the two months since she transmigrated, she was overjoyed. Seeing the harmonious scene, Li Muxia was so moved that she wanted to cry. This was a happiness she had never experienced in her previous life.

The old general looked at his granddaughter serving tea to Bai Qingshi. Although she had gained some weight, she truly had the same charm as her mother back then. Her talent and ability were slowly awakening. The old general believed that in a few years, his granddaughter would become the second Wang Zhishu, no, she might even surpass her mother.

The old general looked up at the sky and thought to himself: Youhong, Zhishu, your daughter has grown up. You can rest assured now.

The banquet began, and everyone toasted and chatted happily about different topics. After a few rounds of drinks, the old general suddenly challenged Bai Qingshi to a five-hundred-round battle. Li Muxia knew what the two were up to as soon as he heard this. He was also happy to see his grandfather and master getting along so harmoniously, so he immediately instructed Cui'er and Hong'er to bring out all the badminton shuttlecocks in the mansion.

Seeing this, others joined in, pairing up to play against each other. Those without rackets cheered from the sidelines, waiting to be substituted. Everyone had a great time until the sun began to set, when they went home.

Although everyone was happy today, he knew that the old general must be feeling terrible. Tomorrow morning she would be setting off with her master and senior brother. That evening, she came to the old general's courtyard and saw him standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, his back to Li Muxia, looking up at the moon.

Li Muxia walked to the old general's side and called out, "Grandpa."

The old general turned around, smiled at Li Muxia, and said, "Muxia is here. Come, sit down and chat with Grandpa for a while."

Li Muxia sat obediently opposite the old general, quietly watching him. He couldn't say the words he wanted to say. He didn't know how to comfort his grandfather, and he knew his grandfather's worries and expectations of him.

Looking at his eldest granddaughter, the old general said with emotion, "Our Muxia has grown up. Grandpa knows you have your own goals, and he also knows that keeping you confined in the general's mansion will hinder your growth."

Grandpa doesn't actually expect you to be outstanding; he just hopes you can have a peaceful and smooth life. Now that you have something you want to do, Grandpa is very happy. Although there may be dangers along the way, if it's something you're willing to do, then Grandpa will support you.

However, you must protect yourself no matter what, and put your safety first. If something happens to you, how will your grandfather explain it to your parents?

Grandpa originally wanted to send someone to protect you, but your master refused. Your master said that although there are some dangers on your trip, he has made full preparations and will protect you.

It's still dangerous for you to travel as a girl. Grandpa ordered men's clothing for you the other day, so you'll travel as a boy from now on.
