After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 25 Prescription

Jiang Lingxi moved her hand away from the pulse pillow.

She looked up and saw the slight frown and light sigh from Mr. Xu, the elderly man in front of her.

The next second.

"You youngsters, relying on your youth, you just recklessly ruin your own bodies. Even if your foundation was good, after such constant wear and tear, you can't withstand it!"

"Seeing someone like you who doesn't take care of their own health and waits until things go wrong to seek medical help, I feel like scolding each one of you I meet!"

Jiang Lingxi posed obediently to take the scolding, "What you say is right, senior, I know I'm wrong."

Seeing her obedient attitude, Xu Maochun's tone softened, "Your body needs proper nurturing, can you drink Chinese medicine?"

Jiang Lingxi nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I can."

As long as she can get this body well, she would drink anything, even bitter as Huanglian juice.

Having died once, no one understands more than her how precious the feeling of being alive is.

Xu Maochun took out a pen and paper from the drawer, pondered for a moment before starting to write, and soon handed over a prescription.

Jiang Lingxi quickly received it with both hands, her eyes scanning the powerful strokes.

With just one glance, she could tell how proficient Mr. Xu was in medical skills, maybe even having some notable achievements.

Though she hadn't studied medicine, the Imperial Palace in her previous life gathered some of the most skilled doctors of that time and preserved the best medical books.

From exposure to such an environment, she understood some basic medical concepts, especially having seen countless times the recipes for nurturing the body.

Aside from being unable to personally adjust the medicine's dosage for herself, she could instantly judge the quality and appropriateness of a prescription.

Although this prescription had mild effects, she knew her body's condition well. It had weakened gradually due to bad habits, so slow and gentle nourishment would be best.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, but how much is your consultation fee?"

Xu Maochun initially wanted to waive it, as the consultation was on a whim, but he couldn't break the tradition, "Just like the other villagers, ten yuan will do."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Seeing her silence, Xu Maochun raised his white eyebrows, "What, no money?"

"No, it's just that I find the consultation fee surprisingly affordable."

Xu Maochun let out a snort, "That might be the case in this little village, but outside, even using a year or two might not get you an appointment with me. By the way, the herbs in this prescription might be hard to find here, you might want to visit He Chun Hall when you return to the city, they have a comprehensive selection of quality herbs."

"He Chun Hall, got it, I'll remember that."

Xu Maochun stood up and waved his hand, "Alright, I've been delayed long enough, my breakfast might have gone cold. You can head back to where you came from, I'm off to have my meal."

Jiang Lingxi followed him out of the room, and as she looked up, she met Wei Ke's gaze who was looking over. She nodded slightly by way of greeting, and said goodbye to Mr. Xu and the little one waving at her by the dining table. She closed the main gate behind her as she left the courtyard.

Wei Ke finally looked away.

Xu Maochun had just sat down and picked up his chopsticks when his grandson reported to him unabashedly, "Grandpa, Brother Wei kept staring at the pretty sister."

Wei Ke immediately blushed deeply, quickly justifying himself under Xu Lao's gaze, "Mr. Xu, you know my job, I had a gut feeling that young lady wasn't as harmless as she seemed."

Xu Maochun leisurely took a sip of porridge, then replied unhurriedly, "Didn't Xingxing say that girl was a big star, seems her name is Jiang Lingxi. Just pull out your phone and look her up, then you'll know."

Wei Ke: "..."

He actually forgot about that!

He immediately set aside his meal and began searching on his phone.

When the entries with 'Jiang Lingxi' appeared, the face on the screen matched the one he just saw, yet instinctively he felt it wasn't the same.

The appearance seemed unchanged, but the photos with heavy makeup and pouting faces didn't mesh with the person who just left.

He frowned and scrolled further, only to see a barrage of malicious keywords like 'Jiang Lingxi should leave the entertainment industry,' 'Jiang Lingxi only has a pretty face, better not make films,' and 'Why hasn't this notorious drama queen been sidelined yet,' which made it hard for him to associate the target of these insults with the Jiang Miss who just left.

What's wrong with the internet?

The hostility was practically oozing out of the screen!

Xu Maochun watched him frown and appear perplexed while looking at his phone, "What's the matter, couldn't find anything?"

"Found it," Wei Ke hastily replied, pausing for a moment, "Miss Jiang indeed is a celebrity, I was just being overly suspicious."

As for those uncomfortable comments he found online, he decided not to share them and disturb the old man's good morning mood.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Lingxi briskly walked back to the small villa.

She initially thought of taking a photo of the prescription to send to Tong Yue, to let her prepare the herbs first, but after taking the photo, she decided against it.

Tong Yue was not Qing Yuan, she wouldn't unconditionally obey her orders, and sending over the prescription might first bring a slew of questions before even preparing any herbs.

Better to handle it herself when she returned to Imperial City.

After having the breakfast prepared by Lu Zhengzheng, Jiang Lingxi returned to the bedroom to change her clothes. As she was back in the living room, she saw Yao Xiaotian had already arrived with the dusty van to pick them up.

They set off, but this time without Director Zhao.

In the following two days, the three of them drove around all the villages and towns under Jiuxi Town's jurisdiction in that van, filming a large amount of footage almost without rest.

Even Lu Zhengzheng couldn't help but complain, "So much footage can be cut into a short film."

It's way beyond a mere few-minute commercial by now.

The key issue was that despite working hard for three days, aside from two meals daily, they hadn't earned a single penny in compensation.

Yao Xiaotian listened to this and just scratched his crew cut with a foolish smile.

The way they kept pushing was indeed a bit much, like extracting all they could from a single opportunity, but the chance was rare, especially to have such a willing star helping them tirelessly through so much shooting was even rarer.

"Town Mayor Hao wants to invite Teacher Jiang for a meal as thanks. I wonder if Teacher Jiang has time?"

Speaking of Town Mayor Hao Xingzhou, the man was quite busy himself.

Apart from the first meeting the day before yesterday, Jiang Lingxi encountered him twice in the following two days.

However, not at the Jiuxi Town office, but during the shoots.

Once she saw him riding an electric bike, carrying a woman, with a large bundle of bamboo shoots in the front footrest.

It turned out this early in the morning, he had been helping the nearby villagers with live-stream selling, and brought along a woman with bamboo shoots headed to visit her married daughter in town.

Another time, they met on the road, he was wearing a hard hat, installing wind turbines along with workers.

Overall, every encounter showed him busily working.

Thus she declined gracefully, "Thank Mayor Hao for his kind intentions on my behalf, but there's no need for the meal."

Yao Xiaotian could only send them to the villa entrance as usual, "Then tomorrow morning, I'll drive you two to the high-speed rail station. Teacher Jiang won't refuse this, right?"

"Thanks for the trouble."
