Chapter 670: Chapter 668: The Vast Grasslands of the Western Regions
After returning to the Ancient City, Lin Wanwan went to ask Teacher Liang for the day off the day after tomorrow, which was naturally granted without any objections.
Lin Wanwanâs advanced study class had already concluded, and she refused the opportunity to intern at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital they arranged for her.
So now, whether she went to follow Teacher Liang in copying prescriptions or not, it didnât really matter to the other party; there were no strict requirements.
In Teacher Liangâs opinion, Lin Wanwanâs level far surpassed most of the Chinese medicine college graduates or even masterâs students under him.
And indeed, that was the case.
After all, Lin Wanwan had learned acupuncture under a disciple of Zhen Quan, pulse-taking and prescription copying from Liang Zhenxiang and Sun Simiao, and she could casually attend lectures at the Imperial Medical Bureau, freely flip through ancient medical texts. Such top-notch Chinese medicine learning environment and resources, where would modern little Chinese medicine students ever have such luck.
Moreover, compared to weaving, embroidery, pig farming, planting fields, raising chickens and ducks, etc., Lin Wanwanâs interest in studying medicine was far stronger, with a very proactive attitude.
She learned the basics of other knowledge quickly and then taught the professional Tang people, letting them practice what they learned. Whenever there were misunderstandings or mistakes, she would return to modern times to quickly learn and apply it.
Some things she even hurriedly learned today, taught the "apprentices" and forgot by tomorrow (like postpartum care for sows).
Only in medicine, only in medicine, was she meticulously making use of the time bug to learn and practice day after day, processing medicinal materials, tasting hundreds of herbs and other tasks without slacking, so progressing rapidly in this area was only natural.
Because of these commitments, she had already given up on the ancient zither and harp for a long time, and now she was quite rusty.
In Changâan, she could learn from Sun Simiao, enter and exit the Imperial Medical Bureau freely, flip through the medical cases of the most top-tier Chinese medicine chiefs in the Great Tang, and could return to modern times to look up information and consult Teacher Liang. Such opportunities were not common.
After leaving here, she could still fly back to the Ancient City in modern times to continue following Teacher Liang to copy prescriptions and inquire about difficult cases. But it would be hard to meet the Chinese medicine chiefs in Great Tang Changâan City, including Sun Simiao, again.
From then on, with long distances and vast expanses, in an era of poor communication, it wouldnât be easy to stay in touch, leaving her no choice but to cherish it.
The harp, ancient zither, and other matters, she would have plenty of time for after leaving Changâan, but in terms of studying Chinese medicine, thereâd be less time to learn one more day each day.
In this situation, Lin Wanwan still made time and agreed to accompany Lu Shouyue to a distant place to attend his childhood friendâs birthday party.
She was moved by her own "model girlfriend" behavior.
When the night was at its peak in Great Tang, Lin Wanwan was amidst the roar of helicopters, flying to the second largest grassland in Anxi.
Anxi had vast land with rich resources, a boundless desert, and a province bigger than a usual country, commonly known as three mountains flanking two basins, where ice peaks, basins, gobi deserts, deserts, and grasslands were scattered.
The airport was still a distance away from Wang Bochengâs birthday party venue, so Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue switched to a more convenient helicopter immediately upon arrival at the airport here, saving time and avoiding the trouble of ground travel.
Wang Bocheng, who had enough of sunbathing and sea waves in the south, was targeting Anxiâs grassland this year.
He rented an entire area of guesthouses and luxury yurts here, with large sunshade tarpaulins, carefully arranged tables and chairs, beauties, champagne, wine, lights, gauze curtains, fireworks show, blazing fire cooking oil, and flowers overlaid on brocade, all exuding a festive atmosphere.
By the time Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue arrived, it was already the time of the oblique sun in the afternoon, the birthday celebration had long since started.
As soon as the helicopter landed, Lu Shouyue jumped down first, then reached out to help Lin Wanwan, just like a knight servicing his princess.
Under the vast expanse of the grassland with an oblique sun, this scene was particularly beautiful, comparable to scenes from idol dramas.
Today, one wore a form-fitting wine-red halter knitted dress, while the other donned a white T-shirt with a picture of a lady in a red dress on the back and jeans, a relatively low-key and mindful custom coupleâs outfit.
Needless to say, this was, of course, all Lu Shouyueâs doing, as he always had the desire to announce their couple status to the whole world.
After getting off the plane, stepping onto the grassland, Lu Shouyue dragged Lin Wanwanâs hand, found Wang Bocheng.
He handed over the gift and smiled, saying, "Young Master Wang, happy birthday. Come, let me introduce you, this is your sister-in-law, Lin Wanwan."
Lin Wanwan couldnât help but secretly pinch Lu Shouyue upon hearing "your sister-in-law."
Though he felt the pain, his body slightly flinched, his expression remained very calm, showing no signs.
Wang Bocheng saw the ambiguous atmosphere between the hand-holding couple, smiled knowingly, and shouted to the surrounding group, "Come, brothers, hurry and join to toast with our Young Master Lu and sister-in-law, this is more important than my birthday!"
The surrounding crowd immediately echoed loudly, "Yes, yes, bottoms up! An old iron tree flowering, rare, rare, worthy of celebration!"
"Sister-in-law is really impressive, landing the King among us!"
Well, the protagonist of the circle quickly shifted from birthday boy Wang Bocheng to Lu Shouyue and Lin Wanwan, putting them in the spotlight.
đđ«đđČđšđđđđđŻđđč.đđšđș
One glass of champagne after another was handed over, Lin Wanwan didnât even know which one to take.
Fortunately, Lu Shouyue was quite adept at handling this group of childhood friends, he soon managed to deal with them all, Lin Wanwan just had to maintain a silly smile throughout.
His childhood friends, seeing how protective Lu Shouyue was, of course, understood the situation.
This guy either didnât date, or once he did, he did it seriously!
So, they also toned down their frivolous attitudes, realizing this was the real sister-in-law, not to make vulgar jokes, unlike the other companions brought by other people at the venue.
Today there were particularly many internet celebrities and stars attending the birthday party, which was Wang Bochengâs usual style.
He was high-profile in his actions, loved mingling with internet celebrities and stars, and in his youth, with the backing of his fatherâs status, feared no one, dared to speak to anyone.
Therefore, today, it was full of familiar faces, even someone like Lin Wanwan who seldom paid attention to the entertainment circle could recognize many people here.
Her old university friend Chen Jinyu, as a small artist in Wang Bochengâs company, naturally attended the bossâs birthday party.
From the moment Lin Wanwan was cautiously led down from the helicopter by Lu Shouyue, she had already seen her from afar.
She really didnât expect Lin Wanwan to still be with Lu Shouyue, after all, for someone like them, the second and third-generation rich, they changed partners more often than clothes.
Like her boss Wang Bocheng, who had changed girlfriends five times just this year.
And from the New Yearâs Eve party two years ago in Yeyu City, until now, and itâs been so long, Lin Wanwan had remained by Lu Shouyueâs side.
Plus, looking at Lu Shouyueâs eyes sparkling with stars when he looked at Lin Wanwan, it was clear they were still in the passionate love phase.
Itâs so utterly absurd!
Could people like them also have such lasting affection?
What kind of divine noble son was this, an untouchable family, and he himself was tall, handsome, and pure, simply standing out among the arrogant and haughty third-generation people.
Why did Lin Wanwan have such good luck!
Chen Jinyu grabbed a red wine glass from a passing waiterâs tray, gulped a big mouthful, her heart nearly gnawed away by jealousy.
People are often like this, indifferent to the wealth of unrelated strangers, but unable to bear the rise of a once equally destitute friend.
You can have a good life, but you cannot live better than me.
She took a deep breath, put on an affable smile, and walked towards Lin Wanwan.
