Chapter 1747

"Giggle giggle."

As soon as Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, a crisp sound came from the little monkey. Zhu Yanyi slowly turned her head. She looked at the little guy lying in the stroller, playing with her fingers. Then she looked at Taishu Yuanxiang and Zhu Yanli.

"You guys did this on purpose," she said.

"Our little monkey is so smart. she knows how to tease her auntie," Xie Xinlian said. She cherished her grandson dearly.

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Sure enough, people become annoying when they grow up. e=(′o｀)))"

Everyone present burst into laughter at her words.

After the laughter subsided, Yan Aohan spoke up. "By the way, Ani, you mentioned the Sage Academy earlier. Gu Jun just called me. Your admission notice will be delivered in two days."

"The admission notice for the Sage Academy?" Zhu Shun'ao asked.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Actually, the one-versus-twenty match was my preliminary entrance exam. Since I passed, I don't need to take the final entrance exam at the end of the year."

"Will you enroll next year?" Zhu Shun'ao asked.

Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly. "I don't know. I haven't received the notice yet. I don't know when I'll go."

Yan Aohan added, "Gu Jun said you can enroll anytime within five years. Just call them when you're ready, and they will guide you there."

"Why five years? Didn't they say you enroll the year after passing the exam?" Zhu Yanyi picked up a chicken claw and started gnawing on it, looking at Yan Aohan as she ate.

Yan Aohan explained, "That was the original plan. However, some medicinal herbs in the Sage Academy have withered. They need to find new herb seedlings. Also, they are going to other places to look for suitable students. So, enrolling next year is not realistic. Even if you entered, you would mostly study on your own. Two-thirds of the teachers are out looking for herbs and students. That’s why there is a five-year gap."

Yan Aohan sighed inwardly. He had planned to send Zhu Yanyi to the Sage Academy next year and then return to the Underworld. Now, his plan was broken.

Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. She knew Yan Aohan’s intention. With this change, her plan would definitely be disrupted. However, after thinking about it, she felt it was fine if she went back. When she went to the Sage Academy, Gu Jun and the others could take her.

Zhu Yanyi decided to tell Yan Aohan about this after returning home. Since she wouldn’t leave until next year, she wasn’t in a hurry.

"That’s actually good. We can spend a few more New Years with you," Zhu Shun'ao said.

"Even if I am here, I might not have time during the New Year," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "If I really have five years to enroll, I probably won’t wait that long. But at least I will stabilize the Traditional Chinese Medicine school here before going to the Sage Academy."

Zhu Yanyi had her own plans. If she didn’t need to rush to the Sage Academy, she could manage the TCM school more perfectly. Then she could go to the Sage Academy with peace of mind.

Zhu Shun'ao looked at Zhu Yanyi. "You run a school and don’t celebrate the New Year?"

Zhu Yanyi made a funny face on purpose. "I celebrate the New Year. But now, Dad, you don’t give me lucky money anymore."

"Hehe." Zhu Shun'ao laughed twice. "You still want lucky money? No New Year greetings, no lucky money."

"You two are enough," Xie Xinlian said, rolling her eyes helplessly. Facing this father-daughter duo, she was truly exasperated.

Zhu Yanyi chuckled lightly. Then she turned her head and noticed that Zhu Zhibin seemed to have something on his mind.

"Doumiao, what’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"

Zhu Zhibin nodded. "Sister, are you free tomorrow? If so, could you take a pulse diagnosis for my teacher?"

"What’s wrong with Mr. Hua?" Zhu Yanyi knew immediately that Mr. Hua might be unwell upon hearing Zhu Zhibin’s words.

Zhu Zhibin said, "Teacher has been coughing for the past few days. The family doctor checked him, but didn’t find anything serious. However, I saw a trace of blood on the handkerchief he used when coughing. He just says he is fine and won’t say more."

After Zhu Zhibin finished speaking, Zhu Shun'ao spoke up from the side. "Mr. Hua is sick, Ani. You must help."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "As long as it is not a natural life-and-death matter, I will naturally help."

Zhu Yanyi spoke the truth. She couldn’t make people immortal. Birth, aging, sickness, and death were normal. The only thing she could do was let those who died of old age return to heaven and earth naturally. She would not do things that defied heaven’s will.

Zhu Zhibin naturally knew this. "If the teacher is really just old, I certainly won’t say anything."

Zhu Zhibin continued, "I am just worried that the teacher was harmed by someone. Otherwise, why couldn’t the family doctor find the cause?"

"It’s not necessarily so," Yan Aohan said from the side. "Perhaps Mr. Hua knows his condition and doesn’t want to worry you. He might have asked the family doctor to lie to you."

Zhu Zhibin realized this possibility. "That is also possible."

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "It’s late today. It’s not good to disturb her now. Doumiao, come back with us tonight. Stay at my house and my brother-in-law’s house. We will go see Mr. Hua early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Zhu Zhibin knew that it was indeed not suitable to go now, so he nodded.

"People get uncomfortable everywhere when they get old," Zhu Xinfu sighed.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Xinfu’s complexion. "Grandpa’s health is quite good. I see Grandma has had some stomach digestion problems these past few days."

Zhu Xinfu: (⊙o⊙)… Who is this granddaughter who doesn’t read the room? Should I beat her out?

Huang Meiying: () She is still my granddaughter. She knows to care about Grandma.

Zhu Shun'ao looked at Huang Meiying with concern. "Mom, why didn’t you tell me your stomach was bad? I could have asked Ani to come and take your pulse and prescribe medicine."

"I ate too many peanuts a couple of days ago. I have some indigestion. It will be fine in two days," Huang Meiying said with a faint smile. "I have been drinking soda water."

Zhu Yanyi said, "Grandma’s digestion is poor. Dad, have someone send some of the specially cultivated lion’s mane mushrooms we grow every day. Let Grandma boil some lion’s mane mushroom soup every day. It nourishes the stomach."

"Okay. I will call as soon as I get back. Have someone send it over tomorrow," Zhu Shun'ao said directly.

They had opened a mushroom house in the suburbs of the capital, cultivating various types of mushrooms. Lion’s mane mushroom was one of them.

Lion’s mane mushroom, also known as lion’s mane fungus, gets its name because its shape resembles a lion’s head. The meat is tender, fragrant, and delicious. It is one of the four famous dishes.

As a treasure in the edible mushroom kingdom, lion’s mane mushroom is a fungus with both medicinal and edible values. Its medicinal value is favored by many consumers. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, calming the mind, and fighting cancer. It is particularly effective for weakness, fatigue, indigestion, insomnia, stomach and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, and digestive tract tumors.
