Chapter 446: Chapter 447: Going Home
"Alright, we won’t leave this courtyard these days. After the acupuncture sessions, we’ll go home," Ye Zi’an nodded as well. He thought that although he would take the imperial exam and possibly walk the official path in the future, knowing such a person might be a good thing for him now.
But everything has two sides.
Moreover, he has his own pride and wants to achieve something through his own efforts.
Having made up their minds, the two really stayed in this courtyard during the following treatment process, rarely going out except when going to the kitchen.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and last night, Ye Zi’an had completed his last acupuncture session.
Mu Shaoling said that in two days, he could start exercising and walking, but at first, he could only walk for a quarter of an hour and gradually increase the duration.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia realized that Ye Zi’an could fully practice at home. So she said goodbye to Mu Shaoling and, when leaving, gave him the method for making the small arrow, thus settling the payment, and no one owed anyone.
"Brother An, we should be home in about half an hour!" They had been away for over twenty days. She missed home, her parents, and her younger siblings.
"Yes, Xiaxia misses home, doesn’t she?" Ye Zi’an understood her well. He could see the urgency in her eyes.
"Yes," Yang Chuxia nodded. "At the Mu Family, that Mu Shaoling spoke so sarcastically every day, and there was someone else there too, making it not enjoyable at all. I don’t know why he would invite us there for no reason." Indeed, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an had planned to avoid Baili Yan from now on. But, unexpectedly, they would meet Baili Yan from time to time after that day.
Sometimes Baili Yan would come with Mu Shaoling, and sometimes Mu Shaoling would invite them over for dinner.
"Well, we won’t see them again in the future."
"Yes, there shouldn’t be any chance for contact in the future."
In her view, there indeed wouldn’t be any chance of contact. Even if Ye Zi’an took the exam and entered officialdom in the future, it would take many years for someone like them without background and status to rise from the post of a County Magistrate to a position in the Golden Throne Hall.
Besides, if that ever happens, it would be many years later anyway.
"Fugui, when we get to town, let’s stop for a while. We need to buy some things before going back." Mu Shaoling had instructed her to soak her feet in hot water every day during the period when Brother An was exercising and walking and to eat some foods that warm and nourish the meridians and promote blood circulation, such as chicken, vegetables, and red beans.
"Yes, Miss."
Fugui drove the carriage while answering.
After a while, the carriage finally arrived in the town. Fugui drove the carriage to the Artistry Pavilion first. Yang Chuxia and Uncle Niu went shopping together and bought many things. When they had all kinds of nourishing food, they got back on the carriage and headed for Yangshu Village.
They arrived at Yangshu Village in the evening.
When people saw the Yang Family’s carriage coming back, they knew that Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia had returned. Everyone had heard that Ye Zi’an had gone to the county to treat his leg, and now that they saw the carriage coming back, they knew he must have returned and couldn’t help but follow, wanting to see if Ye Zi’an had really recovered.
"Mom, sister and Brother Zi’an are back, mom!" Yang Xiayun, Yang Qingbao, and Yang Dongxue were playing with stones at the door. From afar, they saw Fugui driving the carriage, and Yang Chuxia had just poked her head out of the carriage, so they hurriedly shouted into the room.
Upon hearing the shout, Ms.Wang and Yang Dachuan quickly came out.
