Chapter 76 Don’t cry
"Acupuncture!"

"You really need to learn it! Apart from other things, acupuncture and moxibustion for pain relief and anesthesia are really unique!"

"Dinghuan, you have to learn from your fellow apprentice! You have to seize this opportunity to learn! You came from the old society, you should know how difficult it is to learn a skill!"

"Master, I'm not as smart as Deming," Wu Dinghuan shrugged with a wry smile, "I'm overwhelmed by all the Western medicine stuff I'm learning now."

Xia Xiwu, Wu Dinghuan and Wang Deming, the three masters and apprentices, were lying naked facing each other in a large pool with their arms and legs spread out.

The bathroom is filled with steam, like a fairyland.

Xia Xiwu slowly took a towel to dry, wrung it dry and covered his face with it. "Okay, Dinghuan, you should learn my bone-setting skills."

"You are just diligent."

Wang Deming heard that his master seemed to be trying to praise his younger brother, so he interrupted at the right time and said, "Master, should I ask the waiter to bring you some tea?"

".Um."

"Dude!"

"Come here, sir, what do you want?"

Wang Deming waved the bamboo card in his hand and said, "Excuse me, please bring our tea over."

"Remember to continue."

"Okay, just wait!"

After the bones were softened by soaking, it was time to teach the human body. "Deming, come and rub your brother and me's backs."

"coming."

"The human body has more than 200 bones, and you have memorized the bone atlas. Now you need to feel the normal bones carefully. What is it like to touch each part?"

“You have to know what’s going on.”

"There are fat and thin people, young and old. Everyone feels different when they start playing."

"Master, please give me your orders."

"Are there any fat people taking a bath today? Please ask them. My apprentice will give you a massage for free."

"Okay, Master Xia, I'll go right away."

In other words, Wang Deming's physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. After a busy day, he can still take on work after taking a bath.

That’s right, it’s actually a job.
Look, someone paid in advance for the bathing and tea fees for the three masters and apprentices.

However, it must be said that old ginger is still spicy.

After taking a bath, blood circulation speeds up, and the senses of the touch of your own hands and other people being massaged in the bathhouse are amplified, making it easier to control the strength.

Tsk tsk, old people are cunning and old horses are slippery. How can this kill two birds with one stone?
In the main hall of the west wing, Old Man Chang was still sitting cross-legged and listening to music with his eyes closed. When he heard Wang Deming's footsteps, he opened his eyes slightly and said, "Deming, you're back. Ahem, how is your family this time?"

"I'm back. Everything is fine at home. I can move into the new house next time I go back." With the help of the light, Wang Deming felt that Old Man Chang's complexion did not seem to be very good. He suggested: "Uncle Chang, why don't you go see a doctor? I see you seem to be coughing a lot recently? Your cheeks seem to be abnormally red."

"Haha, I've checked it out. It's just that the weather is dry in autumn and winter. I've already gone to the nearby Hongren Hall to buy some lung moistening and cough relieving pills. By the way, Baozhen seems to be looking for you."

"Well, that's good. Sister, you want to see me? What did you talk about? I'll go to the north room now." Wang Deming didn't think much about it. After all, there have been a lot of things happening at Old Man Chang's home recently, and the old man is old, so it's normal for him to get angry.

In the north room, sister Yan Baozhen was teaching Qin Huairu sewing. The sewing machine that had been in the north room of the west wing had been moved to the west room of the north room.

"Sister, are you looking for me?"

"Well," Yan Baozhen glanced at Wang Deming and instructed Renchun, who was playing with her sister on the kang, "Renchun, take your sister to the kang in the east room to play for a while."

"Mom has something to say to your uncle."

After Renchun and Yichun went to the east room, Yan Baozhen did not avoid Qin Huairu and said directly with concern: "Deming, Miss Shouchun hasn't come to our house for a long time recently."

"My step-grandmother just passed away, and it's not convenient for me to take the two children to visit her."

"Do you want to ask?"

"This..." Wang Deming looked at Qin Huairu. Was his sister going too far? Mentioning Zhang Shouchun in front of Qin Huairu, didn't she need to avoid her?
Yan Baozhen ignored Wang Deming's attitude and continued, "Deming, Miss Shouchun said she wanted to make a complete set of autumn and winter clothes, and she even brought the photos. But it's been so long, and winter is almost here, and she still doesn't believe it."

"Miss Shouchun said at the beginning: If we do a good job, her sisters and relatives will all want to make a set." "Deming, we can earn dozens of dollars by helping to make a set."

"You need some snacks!"

Ah. How could I earn so much? Qin Huairu, who had just been complaining about herself, was distracted and secretly pricked up her ears.

Wang Deming withdrew his gaze from Qin Huairu and looked at his sister. For a moment, he couldn't figure out his sister's intention. Was it for the person or the money? Or both?
Yan Baozhen blinked at him, her eyes slightly turned, and after glancing at Qin Huairu with her peripheral vision, she turned back and continued, "Since the old lady (Grandma Ma) and Sister Yourong are not at home, our way of making money by taking on tailoring jobs from the mansions and houses has been cut off."

"Now we have to rely on Miss Shouchun."

"Deming, what about that? Why don't you go over and ask now?"

"Didn't Shouchun specially give you a gift last time? It's reasonable for you to return the favor, right?"

After saying that, Yan Baozhen winked at Wang Deming again.

"Well, how about that?" Wang Deming looked at Qin Huairu again. Qin Huairu kept her head down, so he couldn't see her expression. Wang Deming tentatively replied, "I'll go take a look?"

Qin Huairu still didn't react. Does this silence mean agreement? Oh, my damn sense of morality!

But why do I feel a sense of excitement about having an affair?

"go quickly!"

"While it's still early."

"Okay." Before Wang Deming left, he turned his head and looked at Qin Huairu again, but there was still no response. Forget it, let's talk about it when they are in the same bed at night.

Wang Deming returned to his room and opened the camphorwood box. Unfortunately, the three watches he had bought before were all men's watches, so they were not convenient to give as a gift. The jade and jewelry were also not presentable. To put it bluntly, they were stolen goods.
It’s not that I’m stingy!

After much thought, I took out a novel by Zhang Henshui, "The Golden Age". It seems that this is the most suitable novel for a girl like this, right?

It's all about this kind of love.
"Deming, are you going out again?"

"Well, my sister asked me to go to Miss Zhang Shouchun's house to ask about autumn and winter clothes."

"Oh, haha, Shouchun girl is pretty good!"

What the hell, what's that look in your eyes, old man Chang? I'm doing this for money, to make money!
Xiaojingchang is right next to my sister's house. Come out of Baochao Hutong, go east along Gulou East Street, turn left at the first alley and the first house you enter is Zhang Shouchun's house.

"Dong dong!"

"Coming!"

"Hey, Master Deming! You are a rare guest. Who are you today?"

"Well? Is Miss Shouchun at home? My sister asked me to ask. Miss Shouchun said last time that she wanted to make autumn and winter clothes."

"Hey, Aunt Zhang, please don't close the door!"

"The young lady doesn't live here now. She has returned to Qihelou (now Qihelou Street, next to the Forbidden City)!"

"what"

"Master Deming, you must be aware of why our young lady lived here before, right?"

"This"

"Okay, Master Deming, I'll tell you about making clothes when I see the young lady tomorrow. I'm closing the shop now."

"No. Please pass this book to Miss Shouchun on my behalf."

"Oh, that's more like it! Anything else?"

"Also, I will be going to the countryside in two days to deliver medical care and medicine for two weeks."

"Okay, I got it." Aunt Zhang shouted towards Wang Deming's back, "Master Deming!"

"."

"My young lady cried for a long time when she came back last time!"

".I won't let her cry again."
