Chapter 181: My Eyes Are the Ruler

Although she only had two children, when this group of children was young, they often came to stay at the house; there were two rooms upstairs specifically prepared for these children, one room for the boys and one room for the girls.

"Godmother, I need to rest at home; these days, there must be someone by the Leader's side," Yun Shu said.

"Then go upstairs and sleep; don't worry about the people in the house," Liu Xicai pushed her, telling her to hurry upstairs to sleep as well.

Half a month on the train, swaying and jolting, was very exhausting.

But it could not compare to the mental exhaustion of this moment.

After An Yinan returned to her room, she locked the door tight and then lay directly on the bed, not even bothering to wash up. At this moment, images were still flashing through her mind incessantly—every type of pulse condition, every rhythm of the pulse. The little person in her mind lectured tirelessly over and over, followed by a pulse condition test; only when everything was answered correctly would the lecture completely end.

If there was even a single mistake, the entire lecture would start over again.

An Yinan fell into a deep sleep, but unlike her usual sleep, this was the fourth time...

Tens of thousands of pulse rhythms; for every question missed, it started over from the beginning.

During her first exam, she missed over thirty; the second exam, she missed nine; the third exam, she missed one.

The images in her mind now were already the fourth iteration; the elderly Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, dressed in white with white eyebrows and white hair, sat before a desk, continuously explaining pulse diagnosis knowledge.

Previously, it was the feeling of her mind being blown apart by sudden memories, but as the images played over and over, those memories seemed to be carved into her mind, and the feeling of her mind being blown apart gradually calmed down.

The fourth exam, all correct!

A smile finally appeared on the calm face of the elderly Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, "Junior, to carry forward the style of our Traditional Chinese Medicine and uphold the spirit of our Huaxia, I leave it to you."

The image froze, then shattered into pieces and disappeared from her mind.

Carry forward the style of our Traditional Chinese Medicine, uphold the spirit of our Huaxia.

These twelve characters were deeply imprinted in An Yinan's heart.

She finally fell into a deep sleep in the true sense.

When she woke up again, the moon was above the willow branches.

Clutching her slightly aching stomach, she climbed off the bed. The pulse diagnosis knowledge in her mind was already firmly memorized. She first checked her own pulse; the pulse was steady, that of a very healthy person.

So this was not a dream.

Or perhaps coming to this era was a dream in itself!

"Forget it, since I am here, I shall settle here," An Yinan smiled.

Opening the door and coming downstairs, she saw Yun Shu walking out carrying a bowl of noodles, "Leader, you're awake?"

Yun Shu placed the noodle bowl in front of her, "Warm your stomach. Everyone else is asleep; you'll have to make do."

An Yinan said with a smile, "Thank you."

Yun Shu sat opposite An Yinan, watching her eat the noodles in large mouthfuls; it was clear she was starving.

She had woken up in the afternoon and had been guarding An Yinan's door the whole time. Just now, she heard the faint movement inside, so she went downstairs to cook the noodles; just as An Yinan came downstairs, she brought out the hot noodles.

"In the afternoon, the Chen Family came to visit to discuss the details of the wedding. My godmother took the eldest sister to discuss it with the Chen Family, and now many things have basically been decided," Yun Shu told An Yinan about the afternoon's events.

An Yinan nodded, drank the last of the soup, and then said to Yun Shu, "Hold out your hand."

Yun Shu reached out her hand in confusion. An Yinan grasped her hand and placed it on the table, then reached out to feel the pulse, which was slow and rhythmic.

"Did you suffer an injury here before?" An Yinan asked doubtfully.

Yun Shu's eyes widened. This injury was five years old; it was a knife wound she received during her third mission, pierced through by a blade.

She didn't seem to have told the Leader about it, did she?

"Is that right?" An Yinan asked.

Yun Shu nodded, "Yes, I suffered a knife wound."

An Yinan frowned, "That's it."

She now had a grasp on the Pulse Diagnosis Technique.

After the meal, her stomach finally didn't feel uncomfortable. She looked at the pitch-black sky outside, "Go back to your room and rest; no need to guard outside my door. In this Military District Compound, are you still worried?" An Yinan asked with a smile.

Yun Shu nodded silently, then went upstairs with An Yinan.

After returning to her room, An Yinan carefully thought about the process of triggering the tasks.

When it came to the Slimming Pill, she was full of the joy of eating vegetables at the time.

And when the Pulse Diagnosis Technique was triggered, it was when her grandmother held her hand, and she was excited to see her relative.

These two times the tasks were triggered, there were no specific conditions; it was as if it were random.

An Yinan rubbed her brow, unable to figure it out, so she simply let it be; there would naturally be an explanation in the future.

The next morning, Yun Qin knocked on An Yinan's door. An Yinan had just finished tidying up and opened the door to see Yun Qin in loungewear.

"Sister," An Yinan called out with a grin.

Actually, she was more used to calling Yun Qin 'Sister-in-law'—after all, she was already used to it.

"Ms. Liu is calling us to try on clothes," Yun Qin waved her hand and said helplessly.

Her mother had an obsession with delicate and weak girls, whether it was herself when she was young or Nan Nan now.

The two walked together to the eldest aunt's room. Liu Xicai had already picked out the clothes and saw the two walking over together.

"Quick, this set for Nan Nan, this set for Qin Qin. You two change into them; I want to check the size and waist. If it's not suitable, we must have the tailor alter it today." The two sets of clothes the eldest aunt took out were both red; clearly, they were their wedding dresses.

An Yinan just picked them up and examined them, "This side needs to be taken in by half a finger's width, and here at the chest, it needs to be let out by a finger's width. Everything else is suitable."

Liu Xicai and Yun Qin were both stunned, "Not going to try them on?"

An Yinan smiled, pointed to her own eyes, and quoted a line from the future, "My eyes are the ruler!"

"It's still better to try them on to be sure," Liu Xicai said.

An Yinan looked at the two who didn't believe her, "Fine, just wait."

When she walked out of the room after changing into the clothes, Liu Xicai truly understood what it meant to say, "My eyes are the ruler."

It was exactly as An Yinan had just said.

"Your eyes are too amazing, even better than those old tailors; those old tailors still need to take measurements," Liu Xicai exclaimed in admiration.

An Yinan hurriedly waved her hand, "Those old tailors can also tell at a glance, it's just that they are accustomed to being cautious and need to take measurements and make slight adjustments to the dimensions so that the customers can wear them more comfortably without affecting their movement."

She knew a very formidable old tailor; rather than saying her craft was in the body, that old tailor's craft was in the human heart. With one look, when taking measurements, she would guess the customer's identity, occupation, and other such information, the degree of looseness required, and which positions needed adjustment, all without affecting the aesthetics.
