Chapter 43 Recognizable(1/2)
Two words, thank you!
*********************
Arriving outside the second gate, the maid saw the prepared carriage and couldn't help but smile.
"Sixth Young Master, you are going to be a coachman for our wife again," she said.
Liu Lang turned to look at her, and his eyes fell on Cheng Jiaoniang beside the maid. He turned his head again at a glance, shook the riding whip in his hand, and said nothing.
Cheng Jiaoniang naturally didn't say anything and helped her maid get into the carriage.
Everyone in the Chen family was overjoyed to learn that Cheng Jiaoniang had arrived.
When the young men of the Chen family heard the news, they also came to the door and looked at Liu Lang sitting in the carriage with half-smiling smiles.
"Master Zhou, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
"No, it's better for Sixth Young Master to guard the carriage, so as not to accidentally lose someone."
Liu Lang just scoffed at these sarcastic remarks and ignored them, urging his horse to walk away.
Cheng Jiaoniang ignored what was going on in front of the door and was warmly received by the female relatives at the second door. Danniang ran the fastest.
"Sister." She rushed over and shook Cheng Jiaoniang's arm, "Grandpa and I both miss you."
"It's best not to miss me." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The maids gathered around Mrs. Chen and came over at this time. Cheng Jiaoniang greeted her briefly.
"I was thinking of inviting my lady here," she said, and went in together with Cheng Jiaoniang.
The other women were a few steps behind, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang's clothes and hairstyle carefully while talking in low voices.
"Why did she say don't miss her?" asked someone in a low voice, "Is it a good idea, Joe?"
Then one of them glanced sideways at her.
"Ms. Cheng is a doctor. Who would want to be a doctor?" she said.
The women were stunned and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"This lady, what can I do if I say a few more words?" they laughed in a low voice.
"I would say that we talked too much in the past. Even if we say ten sentences, it only means one sentence." The woman from before said.
"Then if others don't understand, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding?" Someone disagreed and said.
"So what if there is a misunderstanding?" The woman looked at her.
The man choked.
Yes, so what if there is a misunderstanding? Why don’t you ask for treatment when you are sick?
"Besides, those who understand will naturally understand her, and there is no need to pay attention to those who don't understand her." The woman continued, looking at the woman who had walked into Old Mrs. Chen's courtyard with her mother, with a bit of sigh, "To be so comfortable,
What do you want in life?"
Cheng Jiaoniang took back her hand.
Chen Shao and his wife looked at her with some nervousness.
Mr. Chen was relaxed and at ease.
"Take this medicine for another five days." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at the maid.
The maid had already picked up the pen and ink. When she saw her looking over, she picked up the pen.
"In five days, change this prescription." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The maid handed the medicine she had written down to Chen Shao.
Chen Shao took it and thanked him.
"What do you want to eat, madam? Let the kitchen prepare it." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you." Cheng Jiaoniang said goodbye, "I still have something to do."
Chen Shao and his wife felt a little regretful and wanted to persuade them to stay again, but Mrs. Chen raised his hand to stop them.
"If my wife is not busy, she should come and sit here often and not see anyone else," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and nodded.
"Okay." She said, bowed and left.
Mrs. Chen sent it out personally.
When Dan Niang came back after being sent away because she needed to have her pulse diagnosed, there were only old Mrs. Chen, and brothers Chen Shao and Chen Siye in the room.
"Why is sister gone?" Dan Niang was very sad and couldn't help but go over and shake Old Mrs. Chen's arm, "Grandpa, how about we invite her to live here again."
"Danniang, don't mess around." Chen Shao shook his head and said.
Old Mrs. Chen smiled and comforted his granddaughter.
"My wife doesn't like visiting other people's homes. When grandpa gets well, he will take you to play with her," he said.
Dan Niang nodded happily.
"Father, this is the recently famous Five-Character Charm." Mr. Chen Si said, carefully unfolding a piece of paper in his hand.
Chen Shao also became interested.
"Is this the word that has been spreading a lot recently and stopped in the temple?" he asked.
Hearing them start talking about poetry and calligraphy, Dan Niang lost interest and got up to go out to play. When she walked to the door and heard the words "Qie Stop Temple", she stopped and ran back.
The words on the page have been expanded.
"This is a poem I made!"
Before anyone else in the room could speak, the girl's voice sounded first.
Chen Shao and the other three were stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"Did Dan Niang make it?" Mr. Chen Si asked, "It's really good."
"Yes, I made it. Mrs. Cheng made some changes." Chen Danniang said with a bit of pride.
Chen Shao smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, okay, Dan Niang is getting better," he said.
"Yes, my wife also said that I did a good job, and she even wrote the inscription on the wall for me." Chen Danniang said happily.
Mrs. Chen returned from seeing off her guests at this time and waved to Chen Danniang to come out.
"New Year is coming, tailoring is coming, let's go and measure the clothes," she said.
New Year's Eve and new clothes are always the biggest temptation for children. Chen Danniang went out happily.
"Mom, I also want to make clothes like Mrs. Cheng."
The children's voices gradually faded away outside the door, and the father and son in the room read the words again.
"This poem seems to be in the tone of a child," Chen Shao said, twirling his beard.
But he didn't think what his daughter said was true. Maybe he saw this sentence at Jieting Temple, and the kid's family still couldn't tell what was mine and what I had seen.
"However, this word is no longer a child's tone." Mr. Chen Si said.
Old Mrs. Chen looked at the words for a long time before nodding and sighing.
"It turns out to be five fonts that have never been seen before." He said, "The words are combined and rhymed. The five-character Tao expresses all emotions and desires. He seems to be an old man who has seen everything in the world, but he has the heroic spirit of a young man. The only pity is that his arm strength does not seem to be enough.
, has not reached the true essence..."
Speaking of which, he shook his head and sighed.
"Did I ask someone to copy it, or was it just an expression without rhyme?" Mr. Chen Si said.
"Sure enough, I don't know who did it?" Old Mrs. Chen looked at it for a moment and then asked,
Master Chen Si nodded.
"No one has ever admitted it," he said, with a look of regret on his face, "It's such a pity."
"Perhaps he is determined to take the exam. We will know after March next year," Chen Shao said.
Such excellent calligraphy will definitely be exposed to the world when it comes to the big exam.
Old Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen Si nodded.
"Could it be that it was really written by Mrs. Cheng?" Old Mrs. Chen suddenly asked.
Chen Shao and Master Chen Si laughed.
"Father, Mrs. Cheng doesn't even write." Chen Shao said.
Every time a prescription was given, it was written by the maid. I heard from a servant girl who had served her before that this lady also had her maid read and listen to her every day. Maybe she was illiterate, so how could she write?
Old Mrs. Chen also laughed. Such fonts and charm cannot be written in less than ten years. Mrs. Cheng is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Could it be possible that she started practicing calligraphy when she was born?
"When I'm ready, come and see for yourself." Old Mrs. Chen said, looking at the words on the card.
