Chapter 290 - A Guest Coming
Chapter 290 – A Guest Coming
Nan Hua spent her time in her ninth senior's residence. After several times interacting, she had learned a lot from Chen Yuan. This time, Kuang Shen was also here and ignored Nan Hua as usual. It was as if he wished that the two of them would not be in the same location if possible.
"You two should work together for this one." Chen Yuan passed a book to them. "This is the detailed advance method for special acupuncture for paralyzed patients. However, your hand speed and control can't match up the requirement yet."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister Chen." Kuang Shen looked at the book gingerly. He had been thirsty for many knowledge. It was to the point that he wished that he would be able to devour the book if possible.
Chen Yuan smiled. "I'm not the one who write it, so I don't know the details of the book. If you have any question, you may ask me."
"Yes."
Both Kuang Shen and Nan Hua already knew that their senior sister couldn't see, so they didn't dwell on this. They were more focused on reading. Since it was only one, the two of them had no other choice but to share the book together.
"Senior Sister Chen, are you going to spend New Year with Master?" Kuang Shen asked.
Chen Yuan was playing with the bamboo flute and chuckled slightly. "If Master wish for me to come, I will."
Kuang Shen was dumbfounded. Would their Master reject Chen Yuan come over? But seeing that Chen Yuan had no intention to reply, he didn't pester. After interacting with Chen Yuan for some time, they already knew that this senior sister of theirs didn't really like to talk.
Her way of talking was also a bit weird in their opinion as many times, they couldn't even understand what she was talking about.
"Can I borrow this, Senior Sister Chen?" Kuang Shen asked.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"I'll return first." Nan Hua stood up. She had already memorized the content of that book and currently ruminating over the procedure that she had just seen just now. It was not overly complicated, but it might be hard for her to do it because it required her to be fast and swift.
She would need some practice.
"Alright."
The two of them went their separate ways. Chen Yuan didn't move from her position but her hand put the end of the flute on her mouth as melodious tune began to rang. It drifted by the wind as if accompanying the tranquil evening.
Nan Hua go back to Feng Family Residence in time for dinner time. She would usually practice with her twin brother and cousins in the morning then left at the afternoon until evening.
"Hua'er!" Nan Luo waved his hand when he saw Nan Hua. "Aunt is going to cook for us tomorrow, so she's asking what you want to eat."
Their aunt, Nan Si Qiao, had gotten far better after the treatment with Traveling Doctor Liu. For the past two weeks, she had been accompanying them from time to time again. After being confined for so long, Nan Si Qiao was happy that she could get out.
"Aunt," Nan Hua called out.
Nan Si Qiao smiled. "Are you tired, Hua'er?"
"I'm not tired, Aunt." Nan Hua obediently sat down beside Nan Si Qiao. Her aunt liked to pat her head even though she didn't know why, so she would often let her aunt rubbed her head.
"Good. I will cook delicious meal for you tomorrow."
"Mhm."
The others had already known that Nan Si Qiao would rather cook something that Nan Hua liked than theirs. Sometime, Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai even wondered whether they were their mother's child or not based on her biased treatment to Nan Hua.
Though, they usually turned blind eyes.
"Father said that there's a message from the Capital City. There will be a guest coming to stay in Wind City for some time."
Nan Luo tilted his head. "Even if there's a guest, what did it have anything to do with us?"
"The one who come is Young Master Long," Nan Si Qiao continued with a mischievous smile on her lips. She knew very well that her son and her nephew both hated this name very much because they thought that he would steal Nan Hua.
On the other hand, Nan Si Qiao didn't think that much.
After all, she knew that Long Qian Xing was still young and even if there was an engagement, Nan Hua would still stay with them for five more years.
As expected, both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai's face both darkened. Feng Ao Kuai looked at his mother, "Mother, why did he come here?"
Long Qian Xing should just stay at the Capital City and dealt with the problems there. Was there even any use of him coming here when things were peaceful lately? There was indeed war preparation… but it didn't mean that he had to specifically pick Wind City, alright?
Nan Si Qiao chuckled. "Young Master Long is assigned to escort Her Highness Princess Yue to Zhang Xu Kingdom along with General Feng. However, he'll only participate after the previous group enter Wind City."
Feng Ao Kuai's face fell when he heard that. There was indeed a legitimate reason for Long Qian Xing to come here. He couldn't possibly kick that annoying man out.
Nan Luo was more interested in the first half of the sentence. "Why are there so many escorts?"
"That's because it's possible for things to go wrong." Nan Si Qiao sipped the tea, not elaborating any longer.
In the first place, would Princess Yue got married willingly to Zhang Xu Kingdom Emperor? Comparing Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor to Fei Yang Kingdom's Emperor… one would surely pick Fei Yang Kingdom's Emperor.
Why?
Obviously it was because the current emperor was still young and had bright future, unlike Zhang Xu Kingdom Emperor who was known to be….
