The two of them had scolded each other for quite some time and their throat was dry. After all, they have been yelling to the other party and didn’t have time to drink. So in tacit agreement, the two of them stopped and drank the tea that the servants had prepared.
The tea was a bit cold at this point.
But no servants were around as they didn’t really want to see Old Master Nan and Old Madam Long scolding each other.
"Fiuh… You’re still very energetic, Old Man," Old Madam Long complained as she looked at Old Master Nan who sat in front of her. She felt that he had too much energy and could only come to her to argue.
How annoying.
Old Master Nan laughed. "I can say the same to you."
He put down the teacup on the table and sat comfortably. Looking at the various plants around, Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows.
"It seems you’re planning to teach medicines to others again."
"My granddaughter in law is proficient in medicine and my other disciples are quite lacking. It’ll be embarrassing if they can’t compare with her even if it’s only a little bit," Old Madam Long replied calmly and sipped the tea once more to moisten her throat.
When she was younger, Old Madam Long also participated on the battlefield as the medical personnel. It could be said that this was one of the reasons why she was able to get along with her husbands day and night back then.
At some point of time, Old Madam Long stopped venturing on the battlefield and stayed in Long Family Residence to raise her son.
But after her son was old enough to go to the battlefield, she actually also went there again to help her husband. It was just that her position was not so prominent.
Only when her son got married and gave her grandchildren did Old Madam Long completely stopped going to the battlefield. Because of this, when she heard of Old Master Long’s decision decades ago on the battlefield, she could only grieve and said nothing.
Because at that time, she was not by his side.
Now that Old Madam Long was idle, she thought about her granddaughter in law and started to review her knowledge in medicine. Her students were mostly in this Cheng City, Fei Yang Kingdom’s former Capital City, but they were not very accomplished.
Some of them had followed Emperor Yang Zhou to the new Capital City, though.
After all, they were Imperial Physicians.
"… Your disciples are the Imperial Family’s doctors." Old Master Nan looked at Old Madam Long speechlessly.
That kind of position couldn’t be obtained without having enough qualification and ability.
Old Madam Long’s words can make others thought that her disciples had no qualification at all.
This made Old Master Nan rolled his eyes.
"Traveling Doctor Liu is far more talented than me." Old Madam Long shook her head. "And I’m sure that his knowledge he taught Hua’er should be more."
Even though Old Madam Long and Traveling Doctor Liu studied under the same master, the two of them were simply not comparable with each other. This was something that Old Madam Long had known ever since she was young and accepted it.
After all, talent was innate.
Moreover, she had already been competitive when she was young and after several years of being beaten by Traveling Doctor Liu all around, Old Madam Long had long accepted this.
Since Nan Hua is taught by Traveling Doctor Liu, Old Madam Long believed that Nan Hua should also be very good.
She didn’t want her disciples to lag behind too much.
