Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 695 - 691: The Eve Before Entering the Palace

Chapter 695: Chapter 691: The Eve Before Entering the Palace

Lin Wanwan also instructed someone to go to the West Market of Chang’an City to buy lamb and horse meat. These meats from the Great Tang are all premium green meats, perfect for her to take as special products from Anxi to give to Master Liang, along with some green-grown sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Little Qingyu, upon seeing Lin Wanwan return, lost interest in reading books.

Lin Wanwan will soon be entering the palace and will be separated from little Qingyu for at least ten days, so she allowed her to cling to her.

The mother and daughter, along with Xiao Yixun, gathered together to make milk tea and eat small pastries.

Cui Ying, responsible for educating little Qingyu, had a lot of opinions about Lin Wanwan’s indulgent attitude towards the child.

She always believed that jade needed carving to become a vessel; little Qingyu’s current free-roaming state was far from the noble ladies of Great Tang.

Lin Wanwan really had no insights on raising children; previously, she followed parenting books.

Now that little Qingyu is older, there isn’t much content in parenting books anymore, so she handed over the responsibility of upbringing entirely to Cui Ying.

Although Cui Ying became a palace slave due to family strife, she is still from the Cui family, and having her teach is quite suitable.

Of course, this is also because Lin Wanwan is somewhat lazy; she is so busy with her own affairs that she really doesn’t have the energy for personal teaching.

After having lunch with little Qingyu and Xiao Yixun, the two went back to their rooms for a nap. Lin Wanwan called Sun Chuyao into the study to start assigning tasks to him.

Lin Wanwan had already decided to leave Sun Chuyao in Beijing to manage the manor affairs on her behalf, and also asked him to meet Baye Feng and his sister, arranging for them to return to Mao County once they arrive in Chang’an.

Sun Chuyao naturally preferred to follow Lin Wanwan rather than stay in Chang’an.

But he is merely a slave, so he naturally has to take on whatever task the master assigns.

Lin Wanwan earnestly expressed to Sun Chuyao that she trusted him the most and asked him to work diligently.

Moreover, she provided extra favor by keeping his daughter, Rongrong, in Chang’an too, so that the father and daughter would not be separated.

After all, there is no shortage of maids around little Qingyu now, with a batch of palace maids already recruited by Lin Wanwan; many high-quality servants are now in the household.

With this arrangement, when Lin Wanwan’s party leaves, Sun Chuyao and his daughter will actually become the de facto managers of the manor.

Without a master above them, the days would certainly be very relaxed.

Rongrong, who was originally supposed to serve little Qingyu, staying here means she becomes the young lady of the house steward family.

Sun Chuyao naturally expressed his loyal gratitude to Lin Wanwan, feeling extremely grateful for being able to keep his daughter with him.

Although his mother has always stayed in Lin Family Manor in Mao County, emotions inevitably lean downward. Compared to his mother, his daughter still means more to him.

After arranging these matters, Lin Wanwan took the lamb, horse meat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes she bought and used the suite to travel back to the modern courtyard.

She spent the morning in the Great Tang, but only one hour had passed here in the modern world, just in time to catch up with Master Liang’s afternoon schedule.

Lin Wanwan took a taxi straight to the faculty housing complex of Ancient Capital University.

To Master Liang, it seemed like Lin Wanwan had gone to Anxi for two days, but for Lin Wanwan, taking into account the time of the Great Tang, she had been away for several days.

Moreover, she hadn’t had time to read medical books these days, either getting involved in ancient affairs or dating in modern times, which was quite embarrassing.

On the way to Master Liang’s house, Lin Wanwan hurriedly opened the medical books on her phone and worked hard to study.

For Lin Wanwan bringing so many ingredients, Master Liang and his wife naturally made polite remarks about not needing to bring them from far away, though they actually appreciated it.

This evoked the feeling of apprentices visiting their masters from decades ago, as modern society develops, personal relationships become more indifferent.

The feeling of master-disciple relationships as both teachers and fathers has gradually become rare.

Whenever Lin Wanwan finds time now, she seizes the chance to learn from her master. After having a simple home-cooked meal at Master Liang’s house at noon, she followed him to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in the afternoon to learn and copy prescriptions.

Due to not having touched medical books for several days, she almost couldn’t answer under Master Liang’s surprise questioning; luckily, there were master’s students less knowledgeable than her to help her out. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The master and disciple were busy until eight o’clock in the evening before they had a break; Master Liang scheduled several extra patients, even having dinner in the hospital cafeteria.

Actually, those seeking Chinese medicine are not in urgent condition, so not having extra appointments wouldn’t matter. But Master Liang, having a benevolent heart, couldn’t bear to see anyone make a wasted trip. If someone directly approached without an appointment, he’d add them.

Lin Wanwan mentioned to Master Liang her plans for acquiring a shop in Mao County, which surprised him.

He wasn’t entirely clear about Lin Wanwan’s family background, thinking she was an orphan with considerable inheritance, and reminded her not to squander money, to plan long-term.

Lin Wanwan naturally agreed readily, stating that she’d first open a pharmacy and then set up a Traditional Chinese Medicine sign once she qualifies to practice.

Master Liang immediately called Lin Wanwan’s senior apprentice brother, Kang Hongjing, mainly active in Hai City, urging him to help Lin Wanwan’s Chinese Medicine Hall by offering expert consultations and checking his junior sister’s medical skills when he has free time.

From Hai City to Yongcheng, whether by driving or taking a high-speed train, it’s very convenient.

Though Kang Hongjing was very busy, he agreed without hesitation to spend half a day every week to help upon hearing that his junior sister needed someone to oversee her new Chinese Medicine Hall, and promised to arrange for retired traditional Chinese medicine doctors to staff it regularly.

Every Friday morning, Kang Hongjing already held an expert consultation position at Yongcheng Hospital, so spending the afternoon seeing a few patients at Lin Wanwan’s place was just convenient.

This is the benefit of having a solid foundation; once the Chinese Medicine Hall opens, Kang Hongjing’s reputation will be a tremendous boost, even if he only comes once a week.

Lin Wanwan was endlessly grateful.

Initially, she meant to report her plans regarding her journey in Chinese medicine to Master Liang, without expecting such generous support from both her master and senior master brother.

After work, Lu Shouyue came to pick her up; they first sent Master Liang back home and then returned to the courtyard.

"Wanwan, do you want to arrange a dedicated driver for Master Liang?" Lu Shouyue asked Lin Wanwan on the way back.

Master Liang was getting older and didn’t like driving himself, and his previous savings had been used to help his son buy a house and pay off loans in Hai City.

After all, a decent apartment in Hai City costs several million, which his son alone couldn’t afford.

So now the life of Master Liang and his wife, considering their status, wasn’t luxurious, and hiring a driver wouldn’t be something they’d do.

Lin Wanwan was about to leave the Ancient City and had been thinking of buying a safer car for Master Liang anyway. Listening to Lu Shouyue’s suggestion, she thought it was a good idea too.

"Yes, that’s a good idea; I’ll buy a car and hire a driver. I’ll cover these expenses myself to ease things for Master Liang," Lin Wanwan immediately decided, "But I’m so busy lately and can’t find the time to choose a car and hire someone."

"No worries, I’ll handle the car and the person for you," Lu Shouyue readily agreed, for it was a small matter to him, and he had many people assisting him.

Lin Wanwan said with a smile, "Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Lu, and I’ll pay for it myself once you’ve selected everything."

"Okay." Lu Shouyue didn’t mind the expenses, but since Lin Wanwan insisted on spending her own money to honor her master, he respected her wishes.
