I’m Afraid You’ll Die of Exhaustion (Second Update)
Before going to bed, Su Liang wrote a letter to Yan Yu, which he will give to the owner of Yonglong Embroidery Shop tomorrow, asking him to arrange for someone to deliver it to Yan's house. Read

No one spoke that night. The next morning, when the Lin brothers got up, they saw Lin Shuzhi in white clothes practicing Tai Chi in the yard.
Lin Xueqing specifically talked about this last night, but it was the first time for the two brothers to see it.
Lin Boyan felt that although the movements were slow, they contained gentle power.
Lin Bojun was ready to fight, "Let me try this set of boxing!"
Lin Boyan quickly stopped Lin Bojun who was about to go over to compete with Lin Shuzhi, "My younger sister said that this is used to strengthen the body."
After Lin Shuzhi finished a set of boxing, his eyebrows were gentle, and he smiled and said to his two sons, "I have to leave today, so I can't take care of it. When we get to Beijing, Dad will teach you to practice. Especially the eldest brother, you are too weak."
Lin Bojun laughed, "Brother, you are not as good as Dad now, and I am afraid you are not as good as my younger sister! I heard that Xiaoliang taught me a lot of tricks!"
Lin Boyan nodded, "My younger sister's complexion is much better. I can learn this set of boxing from Dad."
At this moment, Su Liang had taken Lin Xueqing to morning exercise, washed up, and prepared breakfast.
The three of them came back late last night, and only they had supper.
This is the first time that six people have eaten at the same table.
"Brother, try it quickly, and guess which ones I made?" Lin Xueqing asked expectantly.
The two brothers had long experienced their sister cooking, and after tasting it this time, they found that every breakfast was delicious.
Lin Bojun was shocked, "They are all delicious, but my sister didn't make them, right?"
Lin Xueqing felt that this was a great affirmation of her cooking skills, and happily revealed that half of them were made by her.
Lin Boyan praised, "My sister's cooking skills are not what they used to be."
Lin Bojun gave a thumbs up, and then used his appetite to most directly affirm the cooking skills of Su Liang and Lin Xueqing.
"Sister Liang taught me how to cook many dishes, and also gave me a cookbook! When I get to Beijing, I will cook for my elder brother and second brother every day!" Lin Xueqing felt that it was all Su Liang's credit.
Lin Shuzhi coughed lightly, "What do you want to eat for your father?"
Lin Xueqing smiled, "I only cook what my father likes the most, and my elder brother and second brother can eat it or not."
Lin Shuzhi nodded, "Okay."
After a happy breakfast, they had to say goodbye.
Going to the capital was not something that Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun decided to do after returning home. Lin Shuzhi and Lin Xueqing had already started preparing.
Although Ning Jing said that he had hired a master to protect them secretly, he did not reveal the master's identity or ask him to show up.
The Lin family knew that some masters had bad tempers, so they did not investigate. They believed that since Ning Jing had made arrangements, nothing would go wrong.
Originally, Lin Xueqing and Su Liang were chatting and laughing, and agreed to meet in Beijing after the New Year, but when it was time to separate, Lin Xueqing still hugged Su Liang with tears in her eyes, "Sister Su, I really don't want you to leave."
Su Liang patted Lin Xueqing's back, "You'll get ugly if you cry again."
"I'm not as pretty as you anyway." Lin Xueqing said, and couldn't help laughing again. She let go of Su Liang, tears flashing in her eyes, and said seriously, "After the New Year, you must come to Beijing to find me!"
Su Liang nodded, "Don't worry, we will go."
Lin Shuzhi walked over, looked at Ning Jing, and sighed, "No matter where you are or what you do, you must take good care of Xiaoliang. See you in Beijing next year!"
Ning Jing nodded slightly, "Take care, Master."
"Xueqing." Lin Shuzhi called several times, and Lin Xueqing reluctantly let go of Su Liang, looking back every few steps and waving at her.
Ning Jing and Su Liang stood at the gate of the Lin family, watching Lin Xueqing being helped by Lin Bojun to get on the carriage.
There was another large cart behind them, carrying the luggage of Lin Shuzhi and Lin Xueqing. They were going to stay in Beijing for a long time, so they had to bring a lot of things, many of which were Lin Shuzhi's books.
In addition to the Yanluo yarn, Su Liang also gave Lin Xueqing two other high-quality fabrics so that she could make new clothes after arriving in Beijing. They were all new products from Yonglong Embroidery Shop, which might not be available in Beijing.
In addition, there were two pieces of cloth, one for Lin Shuzhi and the other for the Lin brothers.
Lin Bojun drove the carriage, and the three of them sat in the carriage. They lifted the curtain, looked at Su Liang and Ning Jing again, and waved goodbye to them.
The carriage slowly moved and left the gate of the Lin family.
The gate was closed, and Su Liang and Ning Jing took their things and secretly left through the back door and returned to the house they bought after coming to Pingbei City. The horses had been sent by Ning Jing last night.
Opening the gate, Su Liang saw a wooden box on the table in the yard.
Ning Jing came back last night, so he must have put it there. Su Liang didn't ask, but walked over to open it and was dazzled.
It was full of gold ingots, and there was a wooden box in the middle. When he opened it, there was a thick banknote of large value.
"You are a thief again." Su Liang thought for a while, "Did you steal the small treasury of the prefect of Pingbei City?"
Ning Jing nodded, indicating that she was not wrong.
The prefect of Pingbei City was a huge corrupt official, and what Ning Jing brought back last night was only a small part of it. After Lin Shuzhi went to the capital, he would expose the corruption in Pingbei City to the court.
The reason why they went to the prefect's house last night was because Ning Jing, who became the head of the Ning family, forgot to take more money when he left Xunyang City, and they spent money like water on this trip to Pingbei City, so they had to add some money.
"It's so heavy, it's not easy to carry." Su Liang took out the banknotes and felt that the box of gold was too cumbersome.
"Put it under the bed and use it later." Ning Jing said.
...
Su Liang, dressed in men's clothes and wearing a straw hat, drove the carriage she had come from, leaving Pingbei City where she had lived for nearly a month. Her letter to Yan Yu had been delivered to Yonglong Embroidery Shop.
Ning Jing went to Xunyang City and came back. He had not rested for many days and fell asleep in the carriage.
According to the plan, the two of them went to Wan's house to visit Zheng'er first, and then returned to Bei'an County.
From Pingbei City to Qingyang City where Wan's family lived, it would take at least eight or nine days by carriage.
On the way, the two took turns driving the carriage during the day and stayed in a hotel at night. It was winter, and the temperature was very low at night, so it was impossible to live outdoors.
In fact, the two of them were more silent than on the way here. They each did their own things and sometimes talked a lot. When they came here, Zheng'er was there, so it was always a bit lively.
Three days later, when they were staying at the inn and eating, Su Liang said, "They always want to bring us together, but we are not suitable for each other and we have nothing to say."
Ning Jing nodded, but refuted Su Liang's words, "You knew nothing about this place at first, and you always asked me. After asking, you promised to tell me about your place, teach me different languages and things that I know but I don't. But you have been busy, and you read books when you have time. I haven't asked you to fulfill your promise for the time being. If you want to talk, of course you can."
Su Liang looked embarrassed, "Are you sure you want me to teach you now?"
Ning Jing's face was indifferent, "You feel uncomfortable with the silence."
"It's okay, I just said it casually. But it is true that I promised to do it early in the morning, but I haven't had time." Su Liang thought for a while and said, "What do you want to learn first?"
"Acupuncture." Ning Jing said.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to learn this?"
Ning Jing's face was calm, "In case you treat someone one day, the other party will ask you to be responsible because you checked his body. In case of poisoning again, you will be exhausted if you give acupuncture to too many people alone."
As a female doctor, it is indeed inconvenient to treat the opposite sex. Su Liang often thinks in her previous life and doesn't care, but others, even patients, don't treat her the same as male doctors.
As for the fatigue of the night of the poisoning case in the academy, Su Liang is still frightened when he thinks back now.
And Ning Jing has always been interested in medical skills, but Su Liang has no time to teach him.
"Thank you for your concern. Then I will teach you this first!" Su Liang said.
