While the two were talking in low voices, the old man not far away was not idle either. As soon as he entered the door, he looked here and there, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
"Say boy, are you sure you're not lying to me? Is there really good wine here?"
He felt that he had been deceived. This place looked like an ordinary farmhouse with no characteristics. It had no advantages other than being cleaner than other homes. It didn't look like a home that could afford good wine at all.
Just now this boy took him outside the city. He thought the place he was going to was going to be a brewery.
That's it?
Disappointed, utterly disappointed! [･「Д´･]
The miracle doctor was not happy and even his aura changed.
Qin Zheng suddenly felt the air around him become chilly, and subconsciously explained.
"I am from the Qin family, how can I lie to others? Senior, please don't accuse me wrongly."
"So there is really good wine? Where is the wine?"
"Inside the house."
Cheng Xi took a step away to reveal her slender figure, and gestured to Wang Shu who was following behind her, asking her to go to the ancestral hall to look for Chen Xingluo.
"Old man, any kind of wine you want to drink is available here."
"Oh? That's a shameless statement."
The old man's sharp eyes looked at Cheng Xi for a moment, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
The little girl in front of her looks like she is not yet 20 years old, but her bearing should not be underestimated, especially her bright eyes with a hint of cunning, which makes her look like a smart person at first glance.
Could this be a girl raised in a small mountain village?
"Don't mess with me with ordinary goods."
"Of course not. It's just that whether an old man can drink good wine depends on his ability."
"What, are there any conditions for drinking your wine?"
Qin Zheng didn't care about etiquette and winked at his sister-in-law crazily behind the old man's back. However, such good intentions were destined to go wrong.
Cheng Xiquan blinked his eyes as if he couldn't see, "The old man seems to be a noble and upright person at first glance, how could he take advantage of juniors like me?"
"..." So just drinking and not doing anything is bullying you because of your age?
The old man choked and was silent for a while before bursting into laughter.
"Girl, you are not timid. I hope your wine will also impress me."
Cheng Xi chuckled lightly and got out of the way, "I'm a guest from afar, please come in."
"snort."
"Master Qin, would you like to invite me too?"
"...Sister-in-law."
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Cheng Xi was speechless, looking at him for a long time without knowing what to say.
Is the eldest grandson of the Qin family too timid, or does he care too much about Shen Xingluo's face? Hey, wait, something doesn’t feel right about this...
Cheng Xi was lost in thought for a few seconds. Shen Xingluo had already led Su Zhan into the farmyard. He first looked at Cheng Xi and then calmly looked around the inside and outside of the house.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
She gave him a satisfied look and said, "Forget it, you are right, I will never have a worse temper than a kid who ruins his appearance."
"..." You might as well not say this.
Qin Zheng once again felt that it was a bit difficult for him, the person who saved his life, to retaliate.
As soon as Cheng Xi put down the tea set, Su Zhan walked in the door, followed by a man in armor.
"Master, madam, we have a visitor."
"Hey, aren't you the deputy general next to my cousin?"
Qin Zheng was surprised, "Are you here to find me?"
"It turns out that Mr. Qin is also here, what a coincidence. In Baiyu City, the fifth prince ordered me to deliver medicine to Mr. Shen, saying he wanted to thank Mr. Jiang for taking care of him in the past few days."
Bai Yucheng took out a palm-sized white porcelain bottle, and Su Zhan took it and handed it to Shen Xingluo.
"Thank you, Fifth Prince, for me. Vice Admiral Bai, please take a seat."
"Young Master Shen, you're welcome. There are still military affairs in the city. Since the things have been delivered, I won't bother you much."
The visitor came on horseback and looked indeed in a hurry. After saying hello to Qin Zheng again, he quickly got on horseback and disappeared in front of the small courtyard door.
The few people left behind had different expressions.
"What kind of medicine is this? Is it for scar removal?"
Qin Zheng leaned over to see what was in the white porcelain bottle, but he never thought that a faster figure next to him would nudge him aside.
"Then what, kid, what did you just say? You need to be cured before you can drink, right? I agreed!"
Chen Xingluo's expression remained unchanged, and his black eyes fell on the porcelain bottle in his hand with a flash of understanding.
When Cheng Xi heard this, he immediately understood why they were quarreling just now.
As for Qin Zheng...this noble young master once again gave up on managing his expression, and his facial features were completely displaced.

There were guests at home, so Cheng Xi went to the kitchen to help.
Shen Xingqi has become more and more interested in cooking and has learned a lot of dishes. Recently, she has been responsible for three meals a day at home. However, there was so much food today that she was too busy by herself.
Fortunately, Wang Shu can also start working. Although he cannot become a chef in a short time, he can still do the work of picking and washing vegetables.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to cook something delicious for guests today?"
"Why am I so happy to see you?"
"Master Qin has invited a famous doctor for his brother, so he is naturally happy!"
The little girl has been beaming ever since she saw the old man, and she almost had the words "Excited" carved on her forehead.
"Let's cook something delicious for the old man, okay?"
If the old man is happy and works harder to treat his illness, then his brother's career will be saved.
"Okay, you are the chef and you have the final say."
Cheng Xi responded funny, "How do you know he is a famous doctor?"
"He's old!"
"..." That's right.
The most important thing in the profession of Chinese medicine is the accumulation of experience. Generally speaking, the hairier the mouth, the more powerful it is. According to this saying, if you look at the beard on the chin of an old man, his medical skills will definitely not be low.
The premise is that he does not become a monk halfway.
"Don't worry, the bottle of medicine sent by the fifth prince is enough to cure the scar on the side of your brother's face."
"Ah? How did sister-in-law know?"
"..." Because the old man was in a hurry.
Cheng Xi reached out and rubbed a handful of the little girl's fluffy black hair, unable to bear to dampen her enthusiasm.
"We'll see the effect in a few days. First, tell me what you're going to cook for lunch today?"
"I still have a lot of vegetables at home, and I brought back half a fan of wild boar meat from the ancestral hall today!"
