Chapter 133 - Pretentious (2/2)

Yun Yuanfeng didn’t even bother refuting her perverse reasoning and sneered as he stood up.

Coincidentally, the old man came in after watering the flowers in the yard, so no one dared to continue the topic.

“Grandpa, I made you a medicine pillow for lowering your blood pressure. Your blood pressure has been a bit high recently. Using this pillow every day can lower your blood pressure.”

“I appreciate this wonderful gesture.” The old man glanced at the medicine pillow in her hand and smiled at her affectionately.

Although he didn’t think it would actually be effective, it was rare for his granddaughter to be so loving, so he took it and asked the housekeeper to take it to his room to be put away.

“Grandpa, in Chinese medicine, it is believed that people’s heads and necks are densely covered with meridians, and that when lying on a medicine pillow for a long time, the warmth from the head during sleep can be used to stimulate the effective infusion of the medical ingredients, which will stimulate the meridians slowly and over a long period of time help with disease prevention and treatment. The Ming Dynasty’s Li s.h.i.+zhen’s ‘Compendium of Materia Medica’ listed ‘eye-improving pillows’ that used ‘tartary buckwheat skins, black bean skins, mung bean skins, ca.s.sia seeds, chrysanthemums, etc., to make medicinal pillows to improve eyesight.’ These facts are all listed in medical books, so I’m not just talking nonsense.”

“All right, Grandpa knows that you mean well.”

Chinese medicine was a very complicated and deep topic, and he didn’t really think that a young girl would know much about the topic, so he didn’t take her words to heart.

Seeing that the old man wasn’t taking her words to heart, Yun Xi simply smiled a little to herself.

Because of her age, in terms of medical skills, no matter how good she was, her credibility wasn’t high.

But it didn’t matter, because there would always be more chances for her to prove herself.

“Okay, let’s eat now! Since Yun Xi has achieved the first place on her exam, I specially asked the housekeeper to make you the chestnut roast chicken you like. Both chicken legs are yours, Yun Xi. Good things come in pairs! None of you try to s.n.a.t.c.h them from Yun Xi.”

“Grandpa, you’re being really partial.” Yun Ziling glared at Yun Xi’s smug expression enviously.

“If you get first place in the cla.s.s, grandpa will give you the same reward.”

Naturally, Yun Ziling would take something so trivial seriously.

As soon as the old man had turned his back, Yun Ziling, full of disdain, stood up and purposely b.u.mped into Yun Xi’s shoulders.

“Hmph, you pretentious goody Two-shoes! What do you have to gloat about?”

“It’s nothing really, but at least I have the right to be pretentious.Too bad you don’t!”

Yun Xi smiled indifferently, and then she ignored Yun Ziling, who was green-eyed with envy, as she turned around and went into the dining room.
