Chapter 546: What Sort of Tea Is Green Tea?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was an old saying that went, “I’m not afraid of thieves stealing, but I’m afraid of thieves thinking about me.”
Such a talented and virtuous great beauty was actually remembered by a good-for-nothing like Yin Lixing.
This kid was shameless. He kept pestering Wen Ruqin. When Wen Ruqin was at home, he kept getting someone to send things to the Wen Residence.
It did not matter if she returned it.
He had sent someone to keep an eye on the Wen Residence all day. As soon as Wen Ruqin went out, she could always see him wearing clothes similar to Wen Ruqin’s style and solicitously approaching her.
As time passed, it was inevitable that rumors would spread in the capital.
This kid was also capable. Although his methods were a little despicable, Wen Ruqin’s reputation was not really ruined. Instead, he really coaxed her into his hands.
It had even become a legend.
Later on, when everyone mentioned Wen Ruqin, it was inevitable that they would say that she had good taste.
Of course, Yin Huaixi was not as shameless as his father, but he was much more sinister.
Using the excuse of being her “cousin” and taking advantage of the fact that Little Miss Yu was young and ignorant, he seduced her bit by bit until he surpassed his closeness as a “cousin”.
The culture of men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty was more open to begin with.
However, it wasn’t like what was written in the Tang poem, “Hiding From Male Relatives at Age Fourteen”
Only when a woman was 14 years old would she pay attention to the rules of men and women. She would hide in her room to avoid seeing her, and even her closest family had to avoid them.
However,when the men and women of the Great Zhou Dynasty were younger, the rules were not that strict.
Of course, there were also precautions for men and women. They had to abide by the rules when facing outsiders. Between siblings in the family, they were more casual, so it was common for them to play together.
When a woman turned 12 years old, she had to maintain a certain distance from men. It was impossible for her to interact with them like before.
However, when it came to this pair of “cousins”, these rules were useless. When outsiders were present, the rules and the etiquette were followed.
However, it was as if nothing had happened when they were holding hands and feeding each other in private.
Was it because Eldest Miss Yu did not know etiquette and did not know how to guard against men and women?
Of course not— But!
No matter how well-mannered she was and how good her etiquette and rules were, it was difficult to resist Yin Huaixi’s deliberate guidance, let alone the habits that the two of them had already developed after interacting for so many years.
Habit was a terrifying thing.
It turned many unreasonable things into essential things like eating, drinking, and breathing day by day.
At first, Yu Youyao tried to keep some distance from her cousin.
But this kid was sinister!
His legs hurt and he fell sick at the slightest disagreement. As soon as Little Miss Yu’s thoughts of being wary of men and women appeared, she was already defeated by her worry for her cousin before she could take action. Not only was this kid sinister, but he also knew how to play the game!
So what if he was acting like a green tea b*tch?
This kid was the top-notch tea among green tea!!
Every time the little girl tried to avoid him, it was as if he had drunk a bucket of green tea. “Didn’t Cousin say that she had to treat me well for the rest of her life? Why are you starting to distance yourself from me now? Could it be that I’ve done something wrong and made Cousin unhappy?
“Master said that my fate is lonely and my six relatives are punished. I’m a destined Asura and a jinx. I’m destined to have shallow affinity in this life.
Cousin, you should indeed keep a distance from me. Otherwise, you might be implicated by me one day…”
Tsk tsk, even an old man like him would have goosebumps when he heard this.
To think that Little Miss Yu really fell for this. How could she have listened to him? She couldn’t even comfort her cousin. Why would she care about men and women?
Uncle Sun had watched helplessly as this kid broke Little Miss Yu’s deep-rooted etiquette teachings step by step.
At the thought of this, Uncle Sun shook his head.
When the most brilliant hunters encountered prey that they were interested in, they often knew how to show weakness and disguise themselves when they weren’t sure if they could hit it in one strike. They removed the prey’s guard step by step and quietly set up an inescapable net. By the time they discovered it, it was already too late and they had nowhere to escape.
Zhou Linghuai took a thin blanket and draped it over his body.
Yu Youyao also lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. When she saw
Uncle Sun sitting at the side and drinking tea, she asked, “Didn’t you say that Uncle Sun was giving Cousin acupuncture?”
In the past three sessions, her cousin had always avoided her.
According to Uncle Sun, the initial treatment of the internal acupuncture points was very painful. Her cousin did not want her to see him in pain, nor did he want her to worry, so he did not allow her to be present.
She could understand.
However, if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she couldn’t feel at ease.
Zhou Linghuai explained, “Before acupuncture, Uncle Sun has to use the Hot Moxibustion method first. He will need to use the acupuncture points to achieve the effect of warm circulation and qi dissipation. This way, the effect of the acupuncture treatment will be better.”
Yu Youyao looked enlightened. “I’ve heard Uncle Sun mention it before.”
If Uncle Sun wanted to treat his cousin’s leg, even if she couldn’t watch from the side, she had to clearly understand his leg treatment.
Uncle Sun said that he was going to use the Hot Moxibustion method.
Previously, she had specially asked what was going on with the Hot
Moxibustion method. After Uncle Sun’s explanation, she realized that this was a more brilliant method of moxibustion.
They burned the acupuncture points of the human body with a medicinal pill to achieve the healing effect.
The medicinal pills were evenly mixed with sulfur, cinnabar, realgar, and so on, and were cooled.
The formulation was made according to the illness. It was a mix of suitable medicinal herbs, mixed with honey, made into a paste, and rubbed into a
“concave” shape.
The formulation was used to stick to the acupuncture points and the medicinal pill was burned. The medicinal properties could burn faster and more effectively seep into the acupuncture points to achieve the healing effect.
After turning off the fire, he flattened the base and fixed it to the acupuncture points. It would take at least four hours to remove it.
This kind of heat-through moxibustion method was neither difficult nor simple at all.
If the medicinal pill was not matched appropriately, it was easy to burn the human body during the heat treatment. Unless one was an experienced and brilliant doctor, they would not dare to try it.
After finishing his tea, Uncle Sun looked up and glanced at Yu Youyao. “The hot pill moxibustion is done. It’s time for acupuncture.”
Yu Youyao sat on the small stool and did not move, pretending not to hear Uncle Sun’s words. “Cousin, Concubine Jiang gave me a few pineapples just now. They’re very rare and fresh. I brought a plate over. I heard that you were performing acupuncture, so I asked Chang An to hang them in the well. You have to try them after you’re done.”
Previously, Uncle Sun had always treated her cousin’s legs at night. Even if she wanted to take a look secretly, she had no choice. Today, she finally bumped into him. No matter what, she couldn’t leave.
Zhou Linghuai’s expression darkened. “Cousin, I’m not properly dressed…’
Uncle Sun, who had poured a small bowl of strong wine and was wiping the golden needles, almost pricked his hand when he heard this..
