What a big statement.
Mu Cheng endured his anger and started to call: “Yes, it’s at the underground market. Come here quickly.”
After hanging up, he said coldly: “Miss, don’t think that our master just bought a silver coin from you, so you can just do this…”
Before he finished speaking, the girl said: “Arrhythmia, the pain in the precordium has intensified, and it has spread to the left shoulder and abdomen.”
“Smoking causes shadows in the lungs and respiratory tracts. The blockage has not been completely cleared.”
At the end, Ying Zijin raised her eyes and said: “The peak period of illness is between midnight and eight in the morning. He just had the surgery a month ago, so he shouldn’t have come out so late.”
Mu Cheng was shocked and couldn’t believe it: “You…”
It’s not wrong at all!
Including the time of surgery!
Before he could recover from the shock, he heard the girl say: “Silver needle.”
Mu Cheng didn’t have time to think about how she knew he was carrying a silver needle, and hurriedly handed over the box containing the silver needle.
Ying Zijin opened the box, took the seven silver needles inside and was about to take action.
Seeing this, Mu Cheng couldn’t help but remind her: “Use up to four silver needles at a time.”
After hearing this, Ying Zijin finally looked at him.
There was no emotion in the clear black and white pupils, which were shrouded in mist and made it impossible to distinguish between joy and anger.
“You can be quiet.”
“Yeah, I’m sorry.” Mu Cheng was a little embarrassed, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong.
When he saw Miss Meng from the ancient medical world treating Mu Heqing, she only used four silver needles at the same time.
He also inquired about this, only to learn that there was basically no person in the ancient medical community who could use seven silver needles at the same time.
Thinking about it, she only had one pair of hands, how could she control seven silver needles?
But the next second, Mu Cheng couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.
He saw seven silver needles connected together into an afterimage in the girl’s hand. One acupuncture point after another was inserted and withdrawn, and the movements were extremely fast.
Mu Cheng tried hard to capture the position of the silver needle, but found that he couldn’t see clearly at all, and was a little frightened.
What hand speed was this?
After Ying Zijin finished pricking the last acupuncture point, Mu Heqing, who fell to the ground, finally took a breath, and the bruises on his face slowly receded, returning to ruddy color.
The entire treatment process took less than a minute.
Ying Zijin put the silver needle away and put it back into the box.
She stood up, put one hand in her pocket, and stood lazily without even taking a breath: “Okay.”
Mu Cheng was still in a daze, only feeling more dreamy.
Even Miss Meng would lose strength after treating Mu Heqing. This…
“Cough…cough…cough!” Mu Heqing coughed suddenly and opened his eyes with considerable effort.
He was in a semi-conscious state before and was still aware of the outside world.
After calming down his breathing, Mu Heqing slowly stood up with the help of Mu Cheng.
He coughed a few more times, with a serious expression, gentle eyes, and a soothing tone: “Little girl, you saved my life. If you need anything, just ask.”
He clearly felt that his heart was beating faster, and was much better than in the past.
This kind of medical skill was probably unmatched by anyone in the ancient medical world.
“No need.” Ying Zijin didn’t care much, “It was just done casually.” She hadn’t treated anyone for a long time. It seemed that her ability had not deteriorated. If she was short of money in the future, she could still make a living in this profession.
Mu Heqing didn’t force her. He thought for a while, took out a jade pendant, and said seriously, “Put this away. If you need me to do something in the future, as long as it’s not a crime, I will definitely do it.”
Mu Cheng was surprised.
This was no ordinary promise, this was the promise of the head of the Mu family.
Ying Zijin didn’t want to accept it, but when she saw the word “Mu” on the jade pendant, her eyes froze for a moment. She didn’t know what she was recalling, but she finally accepted it: “Okay.”
Mu Heqing was then satisfied. He laughed and said, “I wonder if it’s possible for me to know your name?”
It was rare to meet a little girl who suited his eyes so well, so he had to get to know her.
Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, then simply said: “My surname is Ying.”
Ying?
Hearing this surname, Mu Cheng immediately thought of the Ying family, one of the four wealthy families in Shanghai. After all, the surname Ying was not common.
This Miss Ying did not seem to come from an ordinary family. She was born with such nobility in her bones, but the Ying family…
Mu Cheng frowned.
Of course they had also come into contact with the Ying family. With the little strength of the Ying family, could they cultivate a daughter who knew ancient medicine?
Mu Heqing also thought about it, but didn’t ask any more questions. He just smiled: “Miss Ying, are you interested in going to the imperial capital with the old man?”
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows slightly and was surprised: “Not yet.”
She just wanted to take care of herself now, and not get involved in all kinds of things.
“It’s okay.” Mu Heqing nodded, “If you want to come over in the future, remember to contact me, or Mu Cheng.”
Mu Cheng stepped forward and handed over a business card, feeling a little ashamed: “Sorry, Miss Ying about what I said to you earlier I’m sorry for offending you.”
“No, you didn’t know, there is no trust between strangers.” Ying Zijin nodded, “I’ll leave first.”
Mu Cheng felt even more ashamed.
He hadn’t seen it as clearly as a little girl.
After watching the girl leave, Mu Heqing still stood there. After being quiet for a while, he suddenly asked: “Mu Cheng, what do you think of a marriage?”
Before Mu Cheng could answer, he thought to himself: “Forget it. Come on, all my family’s brats are not up to par and not worthy of the little girl, so it’s better not to cause harm to others.”
Mu Cheng: “…”
Who would bury his own descendants like this?
“What a pity, why isn’t she the daughter of my Mu family? If so…” Mu Heqing sighed, and then ordered, “Let’s stay in Shanghai for a few days.”
The snow was beginning to clear, and the sun was just right at noon.
There were clouds and mist in the distance, the sky was blue, and white birds were circling up and down, giving a rare sense of peace and tranquillity.
The old house of the Ying family.
Zhong Manhua glanced at the third floor and frowned: “The second lady hasn’t woken up yet?”
The housekeeper shook his head: “Nothing happened.”
“It’s already noon and she’s still not awake.” Zhong Manhua was displeased, “Wake her up and ask her to come down to eat.”
Just as the housekeeper was about to leave, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
He stepped forward and looked: “Madam, this is the phone number of the Imperial Capital.”
Zhong Manhua looked solemn and said: “Give it to me.”
The butler handed it to her respectfully and waited quietly.
She don’t know what was said over there. Zhong Manhua nodded repeatedly. After hanging up, she smiled: “The Mu family is going to send Shen Zhou over, probably in May.”
The housekeeper was surprised: “But what happened to the Mu family?”
The Mu family was developing well in the imperial capital, why would they suddenly send one of their heirs to Shanghai?
“I don’t know, but we must entertain them well.” Zhong Manhua poured a cup of tea with an elegant movement, “We will start preparations now. In a moment, you will send someone to order furniture and free up the second room on the right on the third floor.”
Mu Family from the Imperial Capital, the four major wealthy families in Shanghai could not afford to offend them, so they must build good relationships.
“Madam, I think it’s better not to let Master Shen Zhou live in the old house.” The housekeeper hesitated and reminded, “The second young lady still doesn’t understand the rules of the famous families. If she conflicts…”
