Chapter 158 Reunion

Twenty days later, when Yue Buqun arrived at Leting Town, he saw Master Dingjing who came to pick him up.

He immediately walked forward and greeted him with a bow.

Nun Dingjing smiled and led the Huashan Sect to the inn in the town. She said gently, "Master Ou has already ordered that everyone from Huashan will be received at the Poyang Lake Villa tonight. I will come to pick you up later."

"Thank you, Lord Ou, and thank you, Master Dingxian." After hearing this, Yue Buqun immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

Nun Dingjing shook her head. She looked at Ning Zhongze, who didn't look very well, and asked with concern: "Madam Yue, where do you feel uncomfortable? I know a little bit about medicine, so I can help you."

"Thank you, Master. I'm just a little seasick." Ning Zhongze shook her head. Even though she was middle-aged and looked unhealthy, it still couldn't conceal her graceful charm.

After hearing this, Master Dingjing took out a small box, handed it to Ning Zhongze and said, "This is Yindan grass ointment, which has the effects of cooling and relieving itching, refreshing the mind, and dispelling wind and cold. Madam Yue feels dizzy and has a headache. She will feel better if she opens it and smells it."

"Thank you, Master." Ning Zhongze took it with a smile, opened the small box and smelled it. A cool minty feeling entered his nose, and he indeed felt much more comfortable.

Upon seeing this, Master Dingjing said goodbye first.

She came to receive the people from Huashan Sect at the request of Ou Zanghua. In fact, she had a lot of things to do now. With Ou Zanghua's unlimited supply of Chinese medicinal materials, they had developed several ointments, and Yindancao ointment was one of them.

In the evening, Master Dingjing came to the inn again and took Yue Buqun's family of three and his two disciples, Lao Denuo and Liang Fa, to the Poyang Lake Villa. Xiang Danian was waiting at the gate early.

Yue Buqun was very happy to see that Ou Zanghua valued him so much.

Under the guidance of Xiang Danian, Yue Buqun was brought to a water pavilion, where Taoist Tianmen and Zuo Lengchan were already sitting inside.

In the pavilion next to the waterside pavilion were the female members of the family, including the three people from Hengshan.

The others were arranged in the living room not far away and were allowed to eat and drink as they pleased.

Not long after Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan sat down, they saw Ou Zanghua and Liu Qing coming hand in hand. Everyone stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Lord Ou and Madam Ou."

"You are all elders, there is no need to be so polite."

Liu Qing motioned for everyone to sit down, and then separated from Ou Zanghua and went to the table for the women.

She saw Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan and said with a smile, "Uncle Ning, Senior Sister Yue, we haven't seen each other for several months. Senior Sister Yue is still as beautiful as ever."

"No way! Junior Sister Qingqing is the one who is radiant!" Yue Lingshan looked at Liu Qing and felt that she had changed a lot since the last time they met.

Ning Zhongze sat aside, watching her daughter and Liu Qing communicate with a motherly smile on her face.

Master Dingxian looked at the little disciples around her. Among the next generation of girls, these three were the most outstanding, both in appearance and skills.

However, Liu Qing has already left the martial arts world, so the future female heroes of the Five Mountains Sword Sect will have to rely on Yi Lin and Yue Lingshan.

She also noticed that Ning Zhongze looked unwell, so she asked him about it with concern.

After hearing Ning Zhongze say that it was because of seasickness, Master Ding Xian stared at her again and said, "Madam Yue, it seems to me that it is not just seasickness. How about I take Madam Yue's pulse?"

When Yue Lingshan heard that it was about her mother, she immediately advised: "Mom, let the nun take a look at you! Don't let her fall ill due to negligence."

"You little girl, you only know how to talk nonsense!" Ning Zhongze nodded at Yue Lingshan, then looked at Master Ding Xian and said gently: "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

"It doesn't matter."

Nun Dingxian smiled, placed her thumb on the outside of Ning Zhongze's wrist, and her index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on the inside of the wrist at the radial styloid process.

After a moment, the nun was stunned and looked at Ning Zhongze with some surprise in her eyes.

"Master, what happened to my mother?" Yue Lingshan asked nervously when she saw her expression. Master Dingxian did not let go of her hand, obviously still confirming it.

After a while, she withdrew her hand and said gently, "You are a little weak. I will prescribe a prescription for Madam Yue. Please take it for a while."

"Thank you, Master."

Ning Zhongze withdrew his hand, glanced at Yue Lingshan, and said unhappily, "Are you relieved now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Yue Lingshan responded with a smile.

Then, the delicious dishes were served one after another, and everyone's topic shifted.

"Chu Ci Da Zhao" says: Fresh seashells and sweet chicken, and Chu cheese.

What does this mean?

According to the annotations of Wang Yi in the Han Dynasty, a fresh large turtle is cooked into a soup, seasoned with malt honey, and then cooked together with chicken. It is fragrant and delicious.

This is the origin of the famous Jingsha soft-shelled turtle in the Huguang area.

This dish happened to be available tonight. When Ning Zhongze wanted to try it, the nun Ding Xian beside her used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of sea bass for her and gently advised: "Madam Yue, this is more suitable for you."

Ning Zhongze: ???

Yue Buqun was sitting at another table, feeling a little awkward because he couldn't understand what Taoist Tianmen was saying.
He looked at Zuo Lengchan who was eating the food naturally, and asked curiously, "Brother Zuo doesn't seem to be interested in what Taoist Tianmen said?"

Zuo Lengchan drank a glass of wine and said calmly: "Mr. Yue, don't worry about it. What Taoist Tianmen is studying now has nothing to do with martial arts."

Yue Buqun was somewhat speechless, as if he couldn't hear what was said that had nothing to do with martial arts.

After Ou Zanghua finished chatting with Taoist Tianmen, he looked at Yue Buqun and said gently, "Uncle Yue, this time there is a special matter that needs your assistance, so I took the liberty to ask you to come all the way here."

“It is an honor for Huashan Sect that Lord Ou thinks highly of us.” Yue Buqun said with a smile.

Only when he got here did he realize that Ou Zanghua was now one of the Nine Ministers in the court. His status was completely different from what it was a few months ago, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, Ou Zanghua was always polite to him, which allowed him to maintain the demeanor of the head of Huashan.

He asked curiously, "I wonder why Lord Ou came to see me?"

"Don't worry about this for now. Let's wait for the other senior to arrive and then we will make arrangements." Ou Zanghua said calmly, as if it was a trivial matter.

Yue Buqun suppressed the doubts in his heart and could only wait quietly.

After the meal, everyone left. At this time, Master Dingxian found Ning Zhongze and said warmly, "Madam Yue, there were many people at the banquet just now, so I didn't say it directly. There are few people here, so it's a good time to explain it to Madam Yue."

Ning Zhongze was stunned, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, Master?"

"It's good news." Master Ding Xian came closer and said gently, "Congratulations, Madam Yue, you are already three months pregnant."

Ning Zhongze's eyes widened immediately, and he said at a loss: "Master, please don't tease me. I'm almost forty years old."

"Madam Yue, please don't think I am joking. You should know that Madam Rongguo married Duke Yingguo at the age of 44 and gave birth to Madam Hanguo, Madam Daiguo and Zhou Zetian."

Nun Dingxian looked at Ning Zhongze's abdomen and said with concern: "But as you get older, it will indeed have some effects. Madam Yue, please discuss with Mr. Yue. I will prescribe some prescriptions to protect the fetus. During this period, Madam Yue should rest well and must not overwork."

"it is good"

Ning Zhongze subconsciously touched her abdomen. She hadn't had her period for three months and thought she had aborted prematurely, but she didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
