Chapter 237: Chapter 236: Celebration, Old Qin’s Exclamation_1
He smirked at everyone, "Our son-in-law is so capable! He made one trip to the county city and he was able to drink and discourse about literature with the county nobleman and even stayed in the nobleman’s guest room. Our foolish girl is even more impressive! Not only was her medical skill praised by the county nobleman, but even the Old Xue who specifically treats the emperor had utmost admiration for her..."
"Dad, you made a mistake!"
Su Pan’er tugged at Old Su’s sleeve, brimming with laughter.
Old Su, seeing Su Pan’er trying to correct him, promptly glared at her, "Dad makes a mistake? How could I make a mistake? Foolish girl, don’t butt in here, go away!"
"Dad, you really are mistaken."
Su Pan’er was particularly amused, "Old Xue is not the Imperial Physician. As for his several apprentices, they are all serving as the Imperial Physicians in front of His Majesty. That old man is detached from these matters and not interested at all!"
Having said this, she then turned around and entered the kitchen.
Old Su pointed at Su Pan’er’s retreating figure, rendered speechless.
People in the house couldn’t bear it any longer and started roaring with laughter.
"This foolish girl, every time her father says something incorrect, she always has to set the record straight. But, so it turns out that those Imperial Physicians treating the emperor are all disciples of Old Xue, which makes Old Xue’s status even more exceptional..."
Su Lao Si now felt even more exuberant!
Surely, after today’s incident, people will forget about the foolish girl’s recent arrest. Instead, they’ll remember the reputation they gained from sharing a drink with the county nobleman.
This foolish girl, she always manages to turn misfortune into blessing!
Qin Yi was close to bursting out laughing.
He quickly lowered his head, pretending to cough.
His father-in-law is truly, truly, truly entertaining!
Due to the large number of people tonight, the male guests were seated at two tables while the female guests had set up another table by the kitchen.
Not only did Zhou Ning come to help in the kitchen, but Aunt Zhou, Mrs. Su-Hua, and Qin Yueshi were all bustling about in the kitchen.
Shuang’er, who was sitting in front of the stove, immediately called out with a bright voice "Third Auntie, you finally came! If you didn’t arrive soon, all the candy and snacks you brought back would have gone into my little stomach."
This got everybody in the kitchen laughing.
"You greedy cat, if you also ate my share and still talk about it!"
Ke’er, who was sitting in a corner with his injured leg propped on a chair, made this statement, provoking more laughter from the crowd.
Mrs. Su-Hua, busy bustling around, had a joyful smile on her face.
"Let’s get to eating, don’t be shy!"
She waved the cooking shovel continuously in her hand, and speaking with a very loud voice while straightening her back, "The pork today is authentic wild boar. It’s fatty yet soft, and incredibly delicious. Let’s all dig in quickly!"
Su Pan’er also hurriedly helped to serve the food.
But Aunt Zhou pulled her hand back, "Doctor Su, you shouldn’t do this rough work. These easy tasks should be left to us old women. You rest, rest!"
"Sister Zhou, don’t praise her so much. My foolish girl is simple and doesn’t have much ability. It’s just that you like her."
Mrs. Su-Hua was saying this but was laughing so hard that she almost bent backward. She obviously didn’t mean what she said.
"Sister Hua, I’m absolutely serious, look."
Aunt Zhou continued in all seriousness, "Look at my body. In the past, I had trouble even getting out of bed. But now I can mill around half the day without a problem. With this, everyone can see Doctor Su’s skills. Fantastic!"
She lavished praise.
"Indeed! Even the county nobleman praises the medical skills of our third brother’s wife! She..."
Qin Yueshi eagerly joins in to support.
"Ahem! Mom, Bigger Sister-in-law, everyone should stop praising now. Quickly, if the food cools it won’t be as good."
Su Pan’er quickly cut off Mrs. Su-Hua’s incessant talking.
"I know, They’re here, They’re here! Everyone come over and sit down to eat. Eat!"
Mrs. Su-Hua finally dumped the last spoonful of meat into the bowl, took off her apron, and called everyone. She looked around and was about to get up again: "There is wine on the male guests side. Do you want to drink some wine? Should I go and fetch a jug?"
Su Pan’er quickly held her back: "Mom, these are all our people. It’s good enough for everyone to have something warm. Besides, everyone will go home at night. Drinking too much won’t be good. And you should stop worrying about things, let’s eat."
"That’s fine."
Mrs. Su-Hua sat down with a beaming smile: "This wild boar was brought by Zhou Ning. Everyone eat. Don’t be shy."
Everyone’s chopsticks stretched towards that large pot of rich and tender wild boar meat.
They put it in their mouths, their lips dripping with oil, smiling broadly.
The sun set and the moon rose.
Overlord Tiger was already drunk, his snoring sound was as loud as thunder.
Old Clan Leader and Clan elder also drunkenly, swaying as they walked. Su Pan’er gave a piece of cloth to each, and they were escorted home by Qin Yi and a few volunteer children of the Qin family.
The Clan Leader and the elder sighed silently in their hearts, this Su Pan’er is competent and knows how to handle matters, she’s really something!
Zhou Ning and his mother also asked to leave. Su Pan’er smiled and stuffed a piece of cloth into Zhou Ning’s mother’s arms: "Tonight we owe it all to Zhou Ning for bringing the wild boar. If not, our dinner tonight would’ve been unappealing. This is a small token of appreciation, Aunt Zhou, please don’t be a stranger."
Aunt Zhou saw it and hurriedly declined: "This is... this is too much..."
"Mother, please accept it. What we owe Doctor Su can’t be paid off with just a piece of cloth." Zhou Ning looked into Su Pan’er’s eyes, his eyes shining.
"Zhou Ning is the one who understands."
Aunt Zhou paused slightly, then put away the cloth: "Then Doctor Su, we’re heading back now."
After Zhou Ning and his mother left, Old Qin also left.
"Fathe-in-law, please wait a moment."
Su Pan’er hurried inside the house, fetched another piece of cloth, a silver hairpin, a pack of candies, and a pack of snacks. Only then did she rush after him.
She handed the things to Old Qin: "Father-in-law, these are all gifts from Qin Yi to express his filial piety. Please take them first. There is no wine at the moment. After a few days, when the Lui family delivers some good wine, Qin Yi will send you some."
Old Qin originally wanted to decline, but when he heard that it was Qin Yi who was expressing his filial piety, he held back his refusal.
"Since it’s third son’s filial piety, I’ll accept these. Be careful when living day to day, and be meticulous with every penny. Don’t be extravagant with money. Everyone has their ups and downs..."
Halfway through his sentence, he remembered that Su Pan’er was a doctor and quickly stopped himself: "In any case, it’s always right to be thorough in life."
"Father-in-law is right, your daughter-in-law will keep it in mind."
Su Pan’Er smiled sweetly.
"That’s good."
Old Qin earnestly advised: "You tell third son, he shouldn’t worry about the big house, your father-in-law is doing very well now. He’s won the favor of the county official, it’s important that he focuses on his studies."
Su Pan’er quickly agreed.
Old Qin had taken a few steps away before he turned back.
"The people from the third son’s house, remember to go home when you have time, your mother and Wan’er and old second family have all gone to the county city, the big house is quite empty now."
"I understand, Father-in-law." Su Pan’er quickly responded.
Thinking of the commotion at the Qin’s mansion a few days ago, Old Qin was probably not feeling great!
Su Pan’er sighed quietly.
