he Emperor, making him faint with anger! Wah wah, they say my second son will be beheaded!"Dizzy the EmperorDecapitationEveryone was taken aback. Mrs. Cui opened her mouth to speak, but she was stopp...Under the summer sun, a tall man walked in from outside.

In his thirties, he wore a long teal robe and a belt with indigo embroidery of clouds around his waist. His black hair was as dark as ink, his eyes were bright, and when he smiled, the corners of his lips curled up, making him look warm and approachable like spring sunshine.

The face in his memory overlapped perfectly with the one before him. Li Lao'er trembled with excitement.

He wanted to speak, to call his elder brother. But before he could open his mouth, tears streamed down his face.

The old man and the middle-aged man still wanted to speak to him, but seeing this, they were both taken aback.

"Brother, what's wrong with you Why are you crying"

A man entering from outside bowed to the shopkeeper and the tea guests, making polite greetings. Hearing the commotion here, he looked over.

Seeing Li Lao'er like this, he was clearly taken aback, frowning and tilting his head.

The teahouse owner knew him well and quickly asked, "Master Wang, you're having a headache again"

Wang Yuwai chuckled wryly, took a deep breath, and replied, "Suddenly feeling a bit unwell. Don't worry, just bring me a pot of fresh tea, and put it..."

He thought about it for a moment and tapped on Li Lao Er's table, "Just put it there. That brother looks unfamiliar, I'll join in the fun and chat a bit."

The shopkeeper responded loudly, and the old man and middle-aged man quickly stood up, smiling as they led Wang Yuanwai to sit beside them.

Li Laer had already wiped away his tears, suppressed all his excitement and joy.

He was raised by his big brother, the big brother couldn't possibly not recognize him. Looking at this, it seems like the big brother has simply forgotten.

Soon, the four of them sat down, and tea was also brought over.

Wang Yuanwai bowed and asked Li Lao'er, "This brother is quite unfamiliar to me. Are you from Jiangbei"

That old man chimed in first, "We've been talking for ages now. This brother is truly from Jiangbei. He's looking for a job, wandering around, and ended up here."

Li Laoer also responded, "Originally, I lived in the north. When the barbarians attacked, I moved here with everyone else."

Wang Yuanwai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Brother, do you know any good doctors in Kyoto Are there any with a good reputation who would also come to our place"

Li Laer pondered, hesitating whether to reveal Zhang Shenyi's words. The middle-aged man then asked, “Is Wang Yuanwai’s headache worsening”

Mr. Wang waved his hand and sighed, "My headache is an old ailment, I can bear it. I'm inquiring about doctors for my young son at home. The child was weak from birth, with frequent illnesses, both big and small. This time he had a cold for half a month and hasn't fully recovered yet. He wants to inquire about the doctors who came from the north. They say that outside priests are better at chanting sutras, maybe if we try a different doctor, it will get better."

Everyone nodded. Wang, the local official, raised his hand to pour more tea for Li Laoer and said, “This brother, where is your hometown I felt a sense of familiarity with you at first sight. Perhaps we were friends in a past life.”

"My hometown is Juntang County in southwest Kyoto." Li Laer, using a teacup instead of a wine bowl, toasted Wang Yuanwai with a drink.

Everyone thought he was polite and courteous, but only he knew that he was respecting his older brother whom he had missed and thought about for many years.

"As the master just asked, I can assure you that what I say is true. I do indeed know a divine physician."

Wang Yuanwai's expression was filled with surprise. The old man and the middle-aged man also smiled, saying, "This is truly fate. Wang Yuanwai just asked casually, and the brothers are really able to help."

Li Lao Er nodded and replied, "I've been idle lately and have been traveling around. A few days ago I went to a place called Suijin Tan, thirty miles northeast of Xindu. They built a new hot spring resort there, it's quite beautiful."

Wang Yuwai and the other two nodded, "Indeed, we've heard of such a place. It is said to be where a group of foreigners settled, and they discovered hot springs there. There was even a dispute over it before, causing a commotion all the way to the imperial court."

"It's done so quickly I haven't heard of anyone going there, we can go play for a few days when we have time."

It is said that it has been open for more than half a month. The hot springs there are very good. If you have back pain, wind chill or something like that, take a soak and sweat a little, and you will be fine without taking medicine.

Li Laer's words were simple and unadorned, lacking any exaggeration. This made his account even more believable. He continued, "Most importantly, there is an old physician in Suijin Tan with extraordinary medical skills. Originally, even ordinary people in Kyoto couldn't get him to see them, but now that he resides in Suijin Tan, he occasionally checks pulses and prescribes medicine for people. Recently, many wealthy families have gone to the hot spring resorts just to have this old physician check their pulses."

"Really" Wang Yuwai was surprised. The old man and the middle-aged man also listened in astonishment, "Then Mr. Wang really wants to give it a try. Even if he can't get the divine doctor to make a move, letting his child bathe in the hot springs with wind-cold will only be beneficial and not harmful."

Wang Yuanwai nodded, stood up and bowed deeply, politely thanked Li Laoer, said a few casual words and then hurriedly went home.

It's obvious that he is going home to discuss it and then go to Sui Jin Tan to try his luck.

Li Lao'er slowly lifted his teacup, watching Wang Yuanwai's retreating figure, and finally felt three points more at ease in his heart.

As noon approached, the old man and the middle-aged man were also about to leave. Li La Er went out with them, refused their invitation to have tea together afterwards, and hastily hired a carriage to go home!

Suijin Beach was as lively as ever. In the hazy mist, guests chatted and laughed, while ducks paddled in the water. They sat by the pond, sipping tea, enjoying a moment of pure bliss.

Li Laer went for a walk, seeing nothing major, and hurried back to Xin Cun.

Li Laotai didn't go to the field to pull grass today. She just cooked two bowls of dumpling soup and knocked two eggs, having a simple lunch with her granddaughter.

At this moment, a mat and small bedding were laid out under the eaves. Jiayin, clutching her belly, was on the verge of sleep, occasionally lifting her little hand to shake the golden bells.

The old woman chuckled and patted her granddaughter's soft hair, saying in a teasing tone, "Little treasure, you like gold bangles so much! When the family gets their red envelopes for the New Year, grandma will buy you another pair!"

"No, let Big Brother read!" Jia Yin grinned, showing her tiny teeth, and flipped herself over to climb into Grandma's arms.

Li Laotai held the chubby little girl, her heart melting with sweetness, "Oh my, Grandma's lucky baby! Even at such a young age, you know how to be considerate of your brother. Then we'll prioritize your brother's studies, and when you grow up, he'll buy you gold bracelets."

Just at this moment, Li La Er came back. As soon as he walked in and saw his mother, he shouted out.

"Mother, I found my elder brother! That man is truly my elder brother!"

Li Lao's eyes widened in surprise as she embraced her granddaughter. She suddenly stood up, but because she rose too quickly, her vision darkened and she nearly collapsed again.

Fortunately, Li Laoer stepped forward in time and supported his mother. Looking down at his niece's wide eyes, which held a hint of panic, he felt even more guilty.

"Mother, I apologize. I was too excited and acted hastily."

"Oh, never mind that. Just tell me, what's the matter with your older brother Didn't he come back"

Li Laotai was afraid her granddaughter would fall again, so she held her granddaughter in her arms.

When she looked out the courtyard gate, seeing no one, she was disappointed again.and took out a small bottle from her purse. She drank a few sips hard, and her complexion recovered considerably.She hurriedly ordered, "Old Hei, drive the carriage and send Grandma He and Baozhu back...
