Xiao Yue brought a few maids to check the gifts that Ni Huang had sent over. There were quite a lot of them. According to Xiao Yue's value system, these gifts were worth about two to three thousand taels of silver. Xiao Chu grinned after hearing that. Was two or three thousand taels of silver a lot for the Mu Estate of Eternal Town Yunnan? Apart from 30% of Yunnan's annual taxes, which were handed over to the Ministry of Revenue, the rest of the Mu Residence would be reserved for military operations. How much was Yunnan's annual tax? Ten million or twenty million?
Xiao Chu shook her head and went back to the study room to continue writing, wanting to finish the inscription and postscript on the painting. After spending half an hour to finish everything, Xiao Chu put down the Wolf Hair Jade Pen and nodded in satisfaction. He blew at the ink on the paper. The painting was similar in both length and width. It depicted a scene of war. Two armies were fighting each other in front of a city surrounded by mountains. Xiao Chu used a large amount of red to show the intensity and bloodshed of the war. On a mountain top, a scholar in a white robe with a feather fan and a scarf was pointing at the mountains and rivers with one hand and waving a jade fan with the other. Although the scholar was small, he was very eye-catching because of the black-red color around him, as if he was the main character of this war. On the top right corner was a poem by Xiao Chu.
"Drunk, I light a lamp and watch the sword. Eight hundred miles under the command of the roast, fifty strings turn the sound of the Great Wall. On the battlefield, the soldiers were recruited in autumn. The horses were fast and the arrows were like thunderbolts. To finish the king's affairs in the world, to win the reputation of life and death. What happened?" Song Qun recited it silently and gave a thumbs up."This phrase is really wonderful. The heart of the general and the five generals is clearly expressed. If this poem were to appear in this world, it would definitely be like a difficult journey and a poem about Mulan.”
"How can I not know my handiwork?”Xiao Chu took a sip of tea and said," It's just a pity that this painting can't be taken out now. It might not be useful for the rest of its life. Tomorrow, get someone to match this painting with a back lining and a vertical axis. It'll stand alone in the storeroom. I might need it at any time."”
Seeing Xiao Chu's serious tone, Song Qun could not help but feel nervous. He nodded and said,""Yes, Master."
Early the next morning, Song Qun left the clinic with Xiao Chu's name on his horse and rode towards the Mu Residence.
As Mei Changsu's treatment had been completed two days ago, Xiao Chu was very free in the morning. He took the plot that he could still remember and used an ancient book as a password to write a note that no one in this era could understand. Well... If there were Arabs from the Middle East, Eastern Europe, or West Africa who were lucky enough to come to Daliang, they might know each other. However, the possibility of this happening was much lower than if a transmigrator appeared.
The medical center was quite far away from the Mu Residence. It took Song Qun more than two hours to return to the medical center with Ni Huang's message. Ni Huang's message was very simple. As it was Xiao Chu's invitation, Ni Huang had no reason to refuse. On the other hand, Mu Qing wanted Xiao Chu to bring a few more lamb legs.
At noon, Xiao Chu and Xiao Yue rode their horses towards the Mu Residence. Song Qun did not follow them. After Xiao Chu and Xiao Yue left, he closed the side door and locked it. He also ordered the servants not to receive any visitors. This was the rule of the clinic. When the master was not around or when the master was in a bad mood, the side door was locked and no one could enter.
There were many people in Jin Ling City who knew Xiao Chu. Many of them had received Xiao Chu's treatment when he was in a good mood, so they saluted him on the street to thank him. There were also people who had received treatment through other methods when they were rejected.
No matter what, Xiao Chu accepted it.
However, he did not expect to see a group of soldiers dressed in armor with a flag on their backs galloping into the capital. Even after entering the city, their speed did not slow down. The leader of the cavalry was still shouting,"Military situation is urgent. Unauthorized personnel, make way." Xiao Chu guessed that the cavalry was heading towards the Ministry of War.
According to the Daliang system, if there was an urgent matter at the front line, the messenger would directly enter the palace to see the commander of the forbidden army. Then, he would explain the situation at the front line to the emperor or present the battle report. Since he was going to report to the Ministry of War, there wouldn't be any major issues. Xiao Chu didn't take it to heart and rode to the Mu Residence with Xiao Yue.
Although the Mu family's residence in Jinling City was much smaller than the one in Yunnan, and it was not as exquisite and luxurious as the one in Yunnan, it was still very big. Xiao Chu had been there a few times, and every time he came out, he wanted to expand his clinic to the size of the Mu residence, but he gave up every time. If all the buildings in Jin Ling City were ranked according to their size, the imperial palace of Daliang would definitely be the first.
The Eastern Palace was considered a part of the Imperial Palace, but this was not the case.
The second was the residence of Prince Ji, the younger brother of the Emperor of Daliang. Because Prince Ji liked to have fun, the residence had been expanded several times. If it were not for the system, Prince Ji would have been able to build his own residence to the size of the imperial palace. The third place was the Mu Residence. Ten years ago, Lord Yun Nan Mu Shen died in battle and Princess Ni Huang became the new master of Yun Nan. In order to win Ni Huang over, the Emperor had specially issued an edict to buy all the mansions in the neighborhood of the Mu Residence and gave them to Ni Huang. He also expanded the already huge Mu Residence. Now, even Prince Yu's residence, which was at its peak, was not as big as the Mu residence.
If one had to compare Xiao Chu's Huitian Medical Hall to the Mu Residence, it would only be one-fifth of the Mu Residence. Not to mention Xiao Chu's frequent activities in the backyard.
Xiao Chu looked at the signboard bestowed by the Emperor on the main gate of the Mu Residence." King Mu's Residence had three golden words. Xiao Chu whispered to Xiao Yue in jealousy,""It's only here that I can live in such a big house. If this was in my hometown, a military commander with a big house in Beijing would be arrested by the Central Discipline Inspection Committee and the common people would not do it!”
Xiao Yue rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking that Xiao Chu was spouting nonsense again.
The door was wide open, and the butler of the Mu Residence welcomed Xiao Chu and Xiao Yue in. After entering the Mu Residence, Xiao Chu felt even more unbalanced. Along the way, there was an endless stream of pavilions, pavilions, rockery, strange rocks, and pavilions. Xiao Chu's eyes turned red as he looked at them. When he entered the backyard where the women of the Mu Residence lived, Xiao Chu's eyes went wide.
As soon as they entered the Moon Gate, they saw a small waterfall that was flowing down three thousand feet.
Xiao Chu laughed and said to Xiao Yue,""This waterfall alone is enough to put you in prison for twenty years.”
Xiaoyue continued to roll her eyes helplessly.
They had just crossed the waterfall and entered the backyard. Xiao Chu saw a pair of beautiful female servants in red palace clothes walking towards the courtyard where Mu Qing lived in the north.
Xiao Chu said maliciously,"Next time when you treat Mu Qing, you must check if his kidney is weak!"”
"Why?" Xiao Yue, who was not familiar with this incident, asked innocently. "Why didn't you check Princess Nihuang and only Young Prince Mu?”
Xiao Chu turned around and looked at Xiao Yue speechlessly,""You don't need to understand this now. You'll know when you learn what functions the five internal organs manage.”
