Three days later, the weather on Qingdao took a turn for the better. A strong gust of wind blew away the heavy smog that had lasted for a week.
Jie Yi's health had started to improve. Every day, he ate medicinal cuisine with heavy ingredients and drank medicinal soup like water. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been overnourished.
Xu Yun's internal energy had almost recovered. He was still worried that an accident might happen. After all, he had used his last bit of luck to treat Jie Yi's injuries.
Ruan Qingshuang had also made a lot of soups for him to nourish his body. There was ginseng, American ginseng, Korean ginseng, deer antler, deer penis, deer embryo ointment, caterpillar fungus, lingzhi, gastrodia, snow lotus, wolfberry, saffron …
Xu Yun felt hot all over. The medicinal effects might have been a little too strong.
However, how could Xu Yun reject Ruan Qingshuang's concern?
Therefore, Xu Yun accepted it all. Whether it was ginseng soup or medicinal cuisine, he ate it all.
Xu Yun had not been idle for the past three days. He helped Jiang Hong and Jiang Zixue contact Canada.
As Gu Qiya had some things to deal with, it would probably take a month for them to reach Asia by sea.
However, Xu Yun felt uneasy if he let Jiang Hong and Jiang Zixue fly there directly. After all, the six great families knew that the Jiang family was not done for yet. There were still people keeping an eye on this matter.
Although Jiang Hong and Jiang Zixue had decided to let go of all their hatred and not have the intention to harm others, they still had to be vigilant against others.
No one knew if the six great families would let them go.
Whether or not there was any real peace in Canada, they would have to wait until they got there to find out.
Xu Yun would not let them go if he was not 100% sure of their safety.
The reason why Xu Yun let them wait for Gu Qiya's arms ship to reach Asia was that if they went back with Gu Qiya, they would be 100% safe all the way until they landed.
Although Jiang Hong and Jiang Zixue wanted to leave immediately, they held themselves back for Xu Yun's sake.
They didn't want Xu Yun's good intentions to go down the drain!
In Zuo Meiyan's words, she really hoped that they would leave as soon as possible. That way, she wouldn't have to live in fear every day.
These words were not strange at all coming from Zuo Meiyan's mouth. She had always been like this, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
The past few days had been quite comfortable, so comfortable that Xu Yun felt uncomfortable all over.
Every time he had this feeling, he would have to face a new storm.
Xu Yun had already formed a conditioned reflex. Every time this happened, his sixth sense would be extremely sensitive.
Because of this sensitivity, Xu Yun had a hard time sleeping at night.
It was a cloudless night with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Xu Yun walked into the courtyard, sat on the rocking chair, and looked at the distant horizon. Unconsciously, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
Zuo Meiyan walked out and saw Xu Yun smoking. She reached out and took the cigarette from Xu Yun's hand. After taking a puff, she said to Xu Yun, "Smoking is a little tight these days. Smoke less."
"Haven't you already quit?" Xu Yun glanced at Zuo Meiyan.
Zuo Meiyan put out the cigarette and said, "Yes, I did quit smoking because I know that smoking is harmful to health. Moreover, second-hand smoke is even more harmful. Now that people are starting to pay attention to third-hand cigarettes, I have to quit smoking even more."
"Third-hand smoke?" Xu Yun was stunned.
Zuo Meiyan nodded. "It's the residue left on clothes, walls, furniture, and even hair and skin. The smell of smoke on a smoker's body is the result of third-hand smoke. These residue can last for days, weeks, or even months. "
"Is it very harmful?" Xu Yun asked.
"The reaction between the residual nicotine and nitrite can form a powerful carcinogen," Zuo Meiyan said. "It's common knowledge that the gas at home will produce nitrite. That's why I can only quit smoking if I don't want to harm my family's health."
"Are you exaggerating?" Xu Yun said. "I only smoke occasionally."
"People who smoke will always find excuses for themselves," Zuo Meiyan said. "I'm not only doing this for you guys. I'm also planning for the future."
Xu Yun didn't understand. "What does this have to do with the future?"
"You'll have a child in the future, right?" Zuo Meiyan said.
Xu Yun was stunned.
"I don't care who your child is with. I won't let this child come to any harm," Zuo Meiyan said. "Third-hand smoke is the most basic thing. If you don't believe me, you can look it up yourself."
Xu Yun broke out in cold sweat. How did the topic change from smoking to having a child?
Having a child? Xu Yun hadn't thought about it. He didn't dare to think about it! How would he raise a child if he had one? He wasn't prepared at all.
Forget it. Xu Yun felt that it was better to change the topic to third-hand smoke. "How harmful is it?"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that people who smoke these days are aware of the dangers of second-hand smoke. They don't smoke indoors. However, it's meaningless. The nicotine residue will still be carried indoors and spread everywhere!" Zuo Meiyan said. "This stuff is especially harmful to babies and children. Children's immune systems are weaker and can easily cause respiratory problems and nervous system damage. Some children often cough, and some can't concentrate. Third-hand smoke is the main culprit."
Xu Yun laughed dryly. He still changed the topic to babies and children.
"Third-hand smoke is on a smoker's clothes, skin, and hair. Once you come into close contact with it, it will definitely harm your health," Zuo Meiyan said. "If you had a child, would you quit smoking for the sake of having a child? Or would you control your intimate contact with your child for the sake of smoking? "
Xu Yun shook his head. "Let's not talk about children … This, this is nothing …"
"We're not talking about children," Zuo Meiyan said. "We're talking about third-hand smoke. Would you quit smoking for the sake of your child's intelligence, attention, and health and immune system? "
"Yes."
Zuo Meiyan nodded. "Okay, you're a qualified parent. I can approve you to have a child."
Xu Yun was speechless again.
Zuo Meiyan saw that Xu Yun was speechless and changed the topic. "There's a grand auction in Beijing in a few days. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Charity?" Xu Yun was stunned.
"No." Zuo Meiyan shook her head. "It's said that Ming Chengzu personally bestowed the golden crown to his trusted eunuchs of the Eastern Intelligence Bureau!"
Ming Chengzu was Zhu Di. He was one of the top tyrants of the Ming Dynasty. To be able to be called Emperor Yongle, he was not a simple character in history.
Although his methods were despicable, the things he did were enough to leave his name in history. He edited the Yongle Ceremony, dredged the Grand Canal, and moved the capital to Yanjing. It was not easy to develop the devastated situation after the Jingnan Disaster into an era of economic prosperity and national strength.
Of course, the Eastern Intelligence Bureau, which was the famous Eastern Intelligence Bureau, was also established by him.
This group of eunuchs was above the Embroidered Uniform Guards. They were only responsible to the Emperor. Without the approval of the judicial authorities, they could supervise and arrest the subjects at will.
But what really attracted Xu Yun was not Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, nor was it the Eastern Intelligence Bureau that committed all kinds of evil.
It was the golden crown!
The underground palace of Dingling had been opened a long time ago. The golden crown of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the Yishan Golden Crown, had been unearthed a long time ago. It was kept in the Dingling Museum of the Ming Dynasty tombs. It was worthy of being called the treasure of the museum!
Now, someone actually took out the Ming Dynasty Golden Crown? Besides the Emperor, who else dared to wear this golden crown?
Wasn't this clearly a fraud?!
