Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land (1)_1

In the afternoon, Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan wanted to continue the morning’s topic with Lin Ziyin, but Ziyin was too busy to give them the chance.

Seeing that the Lin Family was indeed busy, Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan left with their guard.

Having Master Hui Zhen around at noon, Lin Ziyin took the opportunity to ask him to check on her aunt’s health condition.

"She’s just caught a chill and her body is a bit weak, but it’s nothing serious," Master Hui Zhen said.

"Could you prescribe some medicine?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"What’s the need for a prescription? Just one of these pills will cure all ailments." Hui Zhen was particularly generous to Lin Ziyin, treating her with a bias. Others would usually find it more challenging than scaling the heavens in order to convince him to hand over a single pill, but to Ziyin, he was always willing.

"Could you also check my uncle’s leg?" Lin Ziyin requested.

"What’s the advantage for me?" Hui Zhen replied, smiling.

"I’ll cook something delicious for you. I’m not sure how far we are from the sea here. If there are available ingredients, I could cook the most delicious seafood. What a pity." Lin Ziyin sighed.

"Who told you that we are far away from the sea?" Hui Zhen gave her a quizzical look, "Can you really make something delicious with seafood?"

"I wouldn’t lie to you."

Hui Zhen nodded, "Fine, you don’t have to worry about the ingredients. I’ll arrange them. Just think about what you want to cook for me."

He Fuxing was somewhat confused. In his view, his leg had been broken for several years and it could not heal.

Hui Zhen examined him with focus, shaking his head afterwards. "The bone has set firmly, but wrongly. If he was younger, I would have suggested re-breaking it and resetting it. However, given his age, it’s best to make do with it as it is. It would be painful and the healing process would be even slower."

Lin Ziyin felt a bit disappointed hearing this, but He Fuxing comforted her, "I’ve grown used to it over the years. Don’t worry; this is fine."

"Is there any way to alleviate the pain?" Lin Ziyin asked again, she could hardly bear seeing her uncle suffering such pain.

"The pain is due to catching a chill, the best remedy is to soak in herbal soup every day. I will bring over some herbs for you tomorrow," Hui Zhen said, laughing.

"Thank you very much, Master," Lin Ziyin expressed her gratitude cheerfully. He Fuxing’s family also thanked Hui Zhen profusely.

Unfortunately, Hui Zhen paid them no mind.

"Take these pine cakes and bring them to your fellow brothers for a taste." Lin Ziyin had Qiaoqiao bring over a basket, filled to the brim with assorted pastries.

"You certainly are a sharp-witted girl." Hui Zhen laughingly commented. He then stood and sat back down, his face suddenly turning serious. "But you’re also a sly one. I was almost fooled by you. ’Lie to you?’! You actually dared to set a trap for me," he complained.

Lin Ziyin burst into laughter, "You’d better keep away from that fox spirit, Si Jinhan. If someone as sincere as you get led astray by him, I have no other choice. Alright then, I’ll change my words. If I lie to you, then I’m a puppy. Is that acceptable?"

"That’s better." With this assurance, Hui Zhen happily left with his basket of pine cakes.

"Cousin, we may not be skilled in other areas, but simple embroidery we can handle. If you trust us, we can help you with the embroidery." Guihua, the older cousin sister-in-law, shyly offered when she saw that people from the Lin Family were coming one after another to help Ziyin with her dowry embroidery.

"That’s great." Lin Zige said cheerfully, "I was just worrying about that. Bai’s sister-in-law and her crew are here for the day, and I don’t know how many pastries the Dim Sum Store will fall short of."

"We can’t do it this afternoon. You should first finish embroidering the covers for your own quilts," Lin Ziyin suggested.
