Chapter 65 - 65 Book of Hundred Industries
65 Book of Hundred Industries
Yang Quanzi looked at Cui Lingyi and then at Cui Muzhi with a kind smile. “Is your father on his way too?”
Cui Muzhi was surprised for a moment. “Grandmaster, how did you know?”
Yang Quanzi laughed loudly. “Because I’m your grandmaster!” He looked at Xu Zhiyi and Cui Shize proudly. “They’re still so inexperienced.”
Cui Muzhi immediately showered him with words of flattery crazily, “Grandmaster, you can predict things like a god. I admire you. If I can learn a little bit from you, it will definitely be enough for the rest of my life…”
Yang Quanzi felt comfortable after being flattered. The others also seemed to be used to it and echoed from time to time.
Cui Shize’s disciples looked at each other. Grandmaster Yang seemed a little different from what they had imagined.
When the porridge was ready, Cui Shize carried a bowl and handed it to Yang Quanzi respectfully. “Teacher, the food is simple, sorry for not treating you better.”
Yang Quanzi had been traveling all year round to teach classes with the students. It was already good enough to eat a bowl of hot porridge on the way. He took the porridge from his disciple and took a bite. He immediately praised, “Shize’s bowl of porridge is better than delicacies on jade plate.”
Yang Quanzi had three hobbies in life: teaching, writing books, and the rest was to travel around and taste delicacies.
The more he said that, the more guilty Cui Shize felt.
As he ate the porridge, he chatted about everyone’s recent situation. After learning that Cui Shize and the others had just recovered from the plague, Yang Quanzi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Among the 100 people who had contracted the plague, it would be considered good if even one of them could survive. There were so many of them, but Cui Shize and the others were still standing here unscathed. After Yang Quanzi was shocked, he revealed a stunned expression as if saying, “Disciple, are you trying to trick your master?”
Cui Shize shook his head. “No, it’s true. It’s all thanks to Madam Bai’s prescription that we had survived.”
Yang Quanzi stood up in shock and asked in disbelief, “This is the prescription she made?”
Cui Shize suddenly glanced at everyone and said to Yang Quanzi in a low voice, “Madam Bai said it’s not hers.” However, his and the surrounding people’s expressions were filled with understanding.
Yang Quanzi immediately said excitedly, “Have you told Madam Bai about the prescription?” With a prescription for the plague, it could save the people from suffering.
Cui Shize sighed. “I haven’t had time to talk about it.”
Yang Quanzi’s expression changed slightly as he asked Cui Shize to follow him to an empty corner.
Yang Quanzi walked back and forth and finally stopped before saying, “If Madam Bai agrees to give us the prescription, don’t do it. Let Madam Bai go personally.” The prescription could treat the plague. Once it was exposed, the person who made the prescription would receive great attention and glory. The commoners would also be full of respect for her.
Logically speaking, it should be a good thing for Cui Shize to offer this prescription.
However, it was not a good thing for Cui Shize, who wanted to go to the Ling Kingdom, and for his disciples, as well as the Cui family.
“Although it can save the people, the Yan Kingdom is in power now. If you give the prescription to the officials of the Yan Kingdom, and ran to the Ling Kindgom to become an official. Who wouldn’t be suspicious? Duke Chu is not a simple general. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married the current Princess Chu.” He already had his guards up. After giving the prescription, all the more Duke Chu would not use Cui Shize!
Yang Quanzi had long thought through Cui Shize’s worries. He said, “Teacher, I will definitely remember your teachings. If Madam Bai is unwilling to hand over the prescription, what should we do?”
Yang Quanzi’s eyes widened and his beard blew. She actually did not want to do such a good thing for the country and the people. Was she a fool?
Cui Shize sighed and said, “Others might not know, but Madam Bai probably doesn’t care about worldly possessions.”
If she did not agree to hand over the prescription, Cui Shize would not know how to persuade her. No matter how he persuaded her, it would look like he was forcing Bai Wutong. Wasn’t that a classic case of repaying kindness with ingratitude?
Yang Quanzi thought for a moment and calmed down. “She’s willing to give you the prescription and so much medicinal herbs and food. It’s obvious that she’s kind-hearted. She’ll definitely be willing if I talk to her.”
Cui Shize agreed. “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, Teacher.”
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and smiled. “What trouble? She’s your benefactor. She even saved my life just now. This is a sign of gratitude. We should personally thank our great benefactor and prepare a generous gift!”
Yang Quanzi walked towards Xu Zhiyi, took their only bag, and walked towards Bai Wutong with his beloved treasure.
Bai Wutong had already eaten and was feeding mashed potatoes to Stinky.
His whole mouth was dirty with the paste while Chu Tianbao smiled evilly at the side. “You are only smacking your lips when eating, but your food is still leaking out.”
Stinky didn’t understand, but he could tell that Chu Tianbao was mocking him. His eyes widened in anger as he scolded him with series of “Ahhhh”. Then, he turned to Bai Wutong with tears in his eyes and complained that Chu Tianbao was bullying the number one handsome man in the universe.
His expression changed at the speed of light. It would be a pity if Stinky didn’t win the Best Actor Award when he grew up.
“Ahhh—” Bai Wutong did not react. Stinky tugged at her hand unhappily.
Bai Wutong smiled and turned to glare at Chu Tianbao. She reprimanded, “You were also like this when you were young. Don’t laugh at Stinky.”
Auntie Yang also said kindly, “Master, this is your biological son. Don’t say that next time. Young Master is a smart baby. Be careful that he would take it to heart and not he close to you.”
When Lin Yue heard this, he complained worriedly, “Master, hurry up and appear. If you don’t, our young master will really become someone else’s son.”
As soon as Yang Quanzi came over and saw Bai Wutong, he immediately looked at Cui Shize in shock, as if asking if this young girl who was a few years younger than Xiaoxiao was really Madam Bai.
Cui Shize returned him a look that was absolutely true and gestured for him not to open his mouth too wide. It was impolite.
Yang Quanzi quickly closed his mouth and revealed an amiable expression. He smiled at Bai Wutong. “Madam Bai, greetings.”
With that, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the face of the child Bai Wutong was carrying. He was stunned. Oh my, why did this child look so familiar? He seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
Yang Quanzi suddenly had a thought. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Tianbao suddenly said, “Wife, Stinky seems to have sh*t.”
Yang Quanzi suddenly looked at Chu Tianbao. He had a beard and a fierce aura when he was silent. He looked even more like a bandit than a bandit. Yang Quanzi immediately swallowed his guess.
If this man was Bai Wutong’s husband, that would be wrong.
Bai Wutong handed Stinky to Chu Tianbao to change his diaper and looked at Yang Quanzi. “Greetings, old mister.” Then she waited for Yang Quanzi to continue.
Yang Quanzi could also tell that although the girl was young, she was an extremely decisive person.
He took out his treasure from his arms and placed it in front of Bai Wutong. He said solemnly, “Madam, you saved my life. This is the ‘Book of Hundred Industries that my disciple and I have painstakingly written throughout the entire Hua State. I hope Madam Bai will accept it.”
