Wu Pen's work is perfect, Perfect Son-in-law Chapter 21: Father and Mother

  ……

  Concentrate your mind, feel the faint spiritual energy between heaven and earth, the refining qi technique forms a special high pressure inside the body, the air close to the skin surface, the threads of spiritual energy drill into the high-pressure body, and slowly gather in the meridians.

  Three hours later, Ao Wu already felt a faint aura in his body. This cultivation speed was truly surprising to him!

  Ancient times were indeed good, with no pollution in the air and spiritual energy that could be described as abundant. Cultivation was something that couldn't be compared to in modern cities. Now, with such a great cultivation environment, Ao Wu threw himself into it with a hungry and thirsty heart.

  He had been cultivating until the second half of the night, and Ao Wu felt tired, so he stopped. Now not only is his body ordinary, but also the body of a scholar is too weak, although cultivation can enhance the body, it still cannot eliminate physical fatigue. At the same time, this was the first time his meridians had been cultivated, there was a limit to cultivation, when it was almost reached, the meridians would also feel tired, at which point he should stop and rest, otherwise the effect of cultivation would not progress but instead retreat.

  So-called work and rest combined is roughly like this.

  Qiao Wu lay down and soon fell asleep with his eyes closed.

  He hadn't slept for long when a commotion broke out outside. He sat up, perked up his ears and listened carefully to the outside.

  A creaking sound of opening door came from the courtyard, and two slender figures carrying a lantern walked out.

  The lantern slowly walked out of the yard, and outside quickly became dark again.

  After a while, it brightened up outside again, and a lantern came in, illuminating the face of Lüshi's husband.

  The housekeeper walked to Ao Wu's door and knocked on it, calling out: "Young master, Lang is calling for you in the hall."

  Kao Wu opened the door and asked curiously: "Uncle Xin, what's going on so late? I just heard someone making a noise, what's happening?"

  "Alas, it's the middle of the night, and a servant from Zhang Jun's house in Qi County suddenly came running to our house, saying that Zhang Jun is ill again!" The two of them said as they walked outside, "Ah Lang has already agreed with Zhang Jun's servant to go to Licheng County immediately. Now he's calling for Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law to come to the main hall to give instructions."

  It's common for doctors to make night visits.

  "This county magistrate's illness is an old one, he has already summoned Ah Lang twice this year." The donkey-faced steward said with a proud face that his master had repeat customers.

  "Could it be like the Cheng family's bandits, where they can't be cured and people are taken away?"

  "Hmm, haha, Zhang Jun is an official, appointed by the imperial court, educated and reasonable, not a bandit like Cheng Yuanwai!" The donkey-faced steward said with a smile, waving his hand.

  As they spoke, they had already arrived in the hall. Zhong Shen Yi was instructing Zhong Qing on some matters. When he saw Ao Wu arrive, Zhong Shen Yi beckoned him over.

  "Ah Wu, I'll be heading to Qi County in a short while, so I'm leaving the house in your care." Zhong Shenyi looked at him: "Originally, this time back was to prepare for the procurement of medicinal materials for the Eagle Yang Mansion, but now I have to rush to see Zhang Jun's illness, so this matter can only be left to Qingniang. Ah Wu should assist Qingniang more."

  "Alright, I definitely won't let Father-in-law down." Ao Wu nodded, "Please be at ease, Father-in-law."

  A servant rushed in and said to Zhong Sheng: "Lang, the horses are ready, and Zhang's servants have finished eating. We can set off now."

  "Hmm." Zhong Shen Yi stood up and walked outside, "No time to delay, I'll set off now."

  Escorting Doctor Zhong to the gate, a dark-skinned man with a haggard face was already waiting at the door. This stranger should be Zhang Jun's family servant. He and Doctor Zhong rode horses together, accompanied by two strong and sturdy servants from the Zhong family, apparently still paying attention to safety.

  "Leave the house to you, Ah Wu's neck needs to be re-applied with medicine every day, remember to change the medicine!" Zhong Shen Yi didn't forget about Ah Wu's neck before he left.

  This moved him somewhat, and he said with a clenched fist: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll change the medicine."

  Zhong Shenyi nodded and waved his hand at Zhong Qing, then urged the horse forward, heading towards the city gate in the dark night.

  In ancient times, the city gates were closed at night, but Zhang's family could enter because of their official relationship. Since they could come in, now that he wants to go out with Zhong Shengyi, he can naturally go out too.

  In the darkness, the sound of horseshoes grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared and couldn't be heard anymore. Only then did Zhong Qing withdraw her gaze from the night scene.

  The two locked eyes, and Zhong Qing recalled the disagreement they had before going to bed, her gaze sharpened involuntarily.

  Isn't it just forcing you to put down your sword? This way, there's a grudge. I won't hold a grudge even if you point your sword at me!

  Not worth arguing with you. Ao Wu turned around and walked inside.

  Soon after, faint footsteps could be heard from behind.

  The steward had everyone close the gate, now it's still more than half a time before dawn, and everyone went back to sleep for a while before getting up to work. The footsteps behind grew closer and closer, suddenly speeding up, a white figure darted in front of Ao Wu, accompanied by a disdainful hum.

  Kao Wu looked at this woman who was making a small movement and couldn't help but feel startled for a moment.

  Then I understood what was going on and shook my head with a smile.

  Zhong Qing was forced to put down her sword by Ao Wu before she went to sleep last night, and even apologized. At first, she didn't understand what was going on and thought Ao Wu was easily satisfied. It wasn't until after she left that she realized she had been forced to back down by Ao Wu, which made the proud her very unhappy. She didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and now that the two have met again, they are naturally at odds with each other.

  Seeing him walking in front of her, she thought of the matter of bowing her head again. Previously, he had tricked her into bowing her head, and now while walking, she couldn't let him walk ahead, or else she would be inferior to him once more. So she intentionally quickened her pace to get ahead of him.

  Back in her room, Zhong Qing felt a slight sense of satisfaction. This feeling was very subtle, not worth mentioning, but her mood suddenly improved, and she fell asleep quickly after lying down.

  Opening his eyes, it was already early morning.

  Kao Wu's legs sprang up, and he jumped down from the bed to the ground. He spread his hands apart and did a chest-expanding exercise, causing his sternum to crackle with a series of crisp "cracks".

  Although I practiced for half the night and only slept for two or three hours, the benefits of my practice are very obvious. At this moment, I feel refreshed and energized, not feeling tired at all, but instead even more spirited than yesterday.

  The door of the house opened, and the opposite room also opened the door. Zhong Qing, who liked to wear white clothes, came out and saw Ao Wu, hummed proudly, and then took the green bean-eyed girl to walk out of the courtyard.

  Women are indeed petty, even this icy and quiet fairy can't escape this rule.

  She called a servant and asked where the water for washing was, then went directly.

  Looking at the willow twig and salt grains in front of him, Ao Wu couldn't help but smile wryly. In the immortal realm, personal hygiene was a breeze with just a small water ball spell, and in modern times, there were toothpaste and toothbrushes. Who would have thought that coming to the Sui Dynasty would require using his teeth to crush willow twigs to separate out the wood fibers, then mixing it with salt grains to clean his teeth? This day was going to be tough. But he was a man who valued hygiene, so he'd endure the hardship.

  After washing up, he started practicing boxing in the courtyard.

  Under the call of Guan's family, Ao Wu went to the hall to have breakfast. As soon as he arrived at the hall, he saw Zhong Qing leading people out of the door. That hurried and busy appearance, only after asking did he know that it was to rush to the military camp's medicine bidding affair entrusted by Zhong Shen Yi.

  After eating breakfast, Ao Wu suddenly remembered something. The scholar still had a pair of elderly parents outside the county town. Since he had taken over the scholar's body, he could use his body, his fame, his material life, and even his wife - although that also meant enduring her temper. Of course, he would also have to take on the responsibility of caring for these elderly parents, and couldn't just ignore them.

  Although there is no memory of Xiucai now, it should also be looked back on.

  In the courtyard, he pulled a sturdy tiger to serve as his assistant and went out of the mansion together. The tiger grumbled and complained that this official duty was too poor, after reporting to the officials, they actually ran to Mount Tai but couldn't find any mountain bandits, let alone catch them, it's really useless, letting the bandits get away with impunity without punishment. If he were allowed to search in the mountains, he would definitely be able to track down the bandit's lair and capture them, flay their skin, parade them through the streets, and execute them at the Vegetable Market.

  They almost cut them into kebabs and grilled them.

  "Brother-in-law, where are we going?" He realized they had already left the city gate and quickly came to his senses, asking hastily.

  Seeing him finally stop his nervous muttering, Ao Wu said: "I'm going to go take a look at Father and Mother."

  "This is the south gate, if you want to go to your uncle's house, you should go through the east gate." Da Hu's round face scrunched up his nose and eyebrows into a big question mark.

  Kao Wu's eyes twitched slightly as he said quietly, "Mm, I came to take a look at the scenery. Now let's go to the East Gate."

  In his heart, he cursed Big Tiger, "What are you looking at? Wasting time."

  This time with Da Hu leading the way, they won't get lost. After leaving the east gate, they walked three miles and turned into a small path between fields. At the head of the field was a farmhouse made of yellow earth and clay, with thatched roofs.

  "Three eggs, three eggs, you're making me stand still!" a peasant woman with a black cloth wrapped around her head shouted in a shrill voice.

  She had rough and dark skin, holding a hoe in her hand, chasing after a young man with a pointed face in front of her. The young man heard her voice, not only did he not stop, but he ran even faster. The peasant woman was a farmer, she finally caught up with the young man, held out the hoe and blocked him, asking loudly: "San Dan, why haven't you returned the winnower that you borrowed ten days ago? I've asked you twice already, each time you said you would return it, but now it's still not back, my old husband needs to use it!"

  The young man waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'll pay it back..."

  After finishing speaking, he had to pass by the peasant woman's side, but was pulled back by her clothes and shouted: "Don't go, I'll go to your house now to get it. I'll find your parents myself, they don't recognize me anymore, and say that I'm going to steal your family's new broom, which is made by my old mother-in-law with her own hands!"

  "What are you dragging on the main road, old widow let go!" He forcefully pulled his clothes back, stretched out his hand and pushed the peasant woman, who cried out in surprise and fell into the ditch. "Your son has married into another family, what's left of your family belongings will be buried with you?"

  Recommendation: Go back to old Fengtian, become Zhang Zuoxiang's big son, see how Zhang Tinglan plays with the Feng system warlord, and guard Baishan Heishui. I'm here, Ri Benren will never think of coming again!
