"Sixth sister, who is this?"
A soft and tender voice sounded.
Yingbao turned her head and saw a very pretty girl in a pink dress walking towards her.
"This is my junior sister Ying Bao." Wen Shu introduced patiently. "Ying Bao, she is my cousin Wen Jiao."
Ying Bao nodded to the girl: "Sister Wen Jiao."
Wen Jiao walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face, and held Yingbao's hand in a pretentious manner, "So it's Yingbao's sister, she's so cute."
"You're cute too..." Yingbao felt the hairs on her back stand up and she slowly pulled her hand back.
Wen Jiao sat down next to Ying Bao and was speechless for a moment.
At this time, another little girl in red came running over and said in a hurry: "What are you doing sitting here? Mother wants you to go in and talk."
Yingbao looked at her face which was similar to Wen Jiao's and had already guessed who she was.
There is a round red dot between Wen Tian’s eyebrows. It is not known whether it was put on or was natural.
Because nowadays people like to do something creative on their faces. For example, women especially like to draw heart lines on their eyebrows and put dimples on their cheeks. Some even deliberately draw their eyebrows to look like crying or sad, which is considered a fashion.
Wen Shu pulled Ying Bao up and whispered, "Come with me to meet Third Auntie. She will be your husband from now on."
The Wen family has been practicing medicine for generations, and many of them have married into established medical families, so if the daughter-in-law doesn't know a little about medicine, she's almost like an illiterate.
Yingbao followed Wenshu into an inner room and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"This is my third aunt, Mrs. Lin." Wen Shu introduced in a low voice.
Yingbao stepped forward and saluted, "Student Jiang Yingbao greets Madam Lin."
Madam Lin raised her eyelids from the teacup, hummed, and asked softly, "You are Jiang Yingbao, you are a smart child."
Yingbao's mouth twitched, but she said nothing.
Mrs. Lin took a sip of tea, looked Yingbao up and down, and asked calmly, "I heard that your family grows golden ears. Is that true?"
Ying Bao said politely, "Yes, every household in our village grows golden fungus, and some also grow snow fungus. Madam Lin, do you want to buy some golden fungus?"
Mrs. Lin's face darkened. "I asked if your family grows golden ears."
"Of course I planted it." Yingbao replied.
Mrs. Lin put down the teacup and said, "Can you bring it over to me?"
"I'm so sorry, my golden ears have just been planted and haven't grown out yet." The last batch of golden ears in her family had only been planted not long ago and had not grown very big. Even if she showed them to Mrs. Lin, she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Mrs. Lin's face flashed with sinisterness, "You are so rude, child. I just want to see how your Golden Ear would speak like this."
Yingbao blinked and said, "I am telling the truth. The golden ears have just been planted and haven't grown yet."
Mrs. Lin was about to say something when Xiao Zhenniang walked in: "Yingbao, I was looking for you."
"Mrs. Wen!" Ying Bao was very happy to see Mrs. Wen. She ran over and grabbed her sleeve. "I want to tell you something, too."
Xiao Zhenniang patted her head lovingly and pulled her out: "Come with me, I have something to give to you."
Yingbao followed Xiao Zhenniang into another inner room and saw her taking out a lot of books from a wicker box.
"This is the book I bought for you in Yuzhou. It contains many ancient medical prescriptions. Take it back and study it carefully."
Xiao Zhenniang took out a large bag of seeds and handed them to Yingbao: "These are melon and vegetable seeds from Yuzhou. Take them back and give them to your mother to plant. There are also some flower seeds in it. I specially asked a gardener for them. You can try planting them."
The most rare things for farmers are all kinds of vegetable and melon seeds, especially those that are not available locally.
Yingbao was so excited that she went forward and hugged Madam Wen: "Thank you, Master, you are so kind."
Xiao Zhenniang touched her head and sighed slightly.
This child is so sincere. If she knew that the Wen family had been plotting against her, I wonder how she would feel. Alas, all I can do is not to cause her too much harm.
In the afternoon, Wen Shu took Yingbao back to Nanpo in a carriage, and delivered some books and some specialties of Yuzhou to Jiang Sanlang's house.
At night, Wen Shu did not go back, but stayed with Ying Bao, and the two of them lay down and talked.
"Third Aunt is a very serious person. If you think something she says is wrong, just ignore it."
In fact, Third Aunt is not only picky, but also very narrow-minded. Wen Shu is worried that Yingbao will suffer at her expense in the future.
Yingbao wondered, "Why would your third aunt come to a small place like ours?"
Today she finally realized that Mrs. Lin not only liked to put on airs, but also looked down on others. How could such a person be willing to stay in the countryside
If there were no benefits, would she bring her two beautiful daughters to live in a poor place
Wen Shu frowned and thought for a while, then said softly: "Yingbao, to tell you the truth, the Wen family opened a school here just for your family's secret recipe."
Yingbao nodded: "I guessed a little bit too."
Wen Shu hugged Yingbao and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Yingbao, we shouldn't have kept the secret from you."
Yingbao: "I've always known this. You guys are not lying."
She also knew that a nobleman had taken the Wen family's medicine and died, but she couldn't tell anyone.
"So if Third Aunt wants to trick you, just ignore her." Wen Shu said this, feeling a little relieved.
"Okay." Ying Bao tugged at Wen Shu: "Tell me about Yuzhou, and why did your family buy my golden ears?"
Wen Shu gritted his teeth and told him everything that happened at home.
"My uncle offended a noble and was banished back to Yuzhou. The noble's child was seriously ill and almost implicated my Wen family. Thanks to your Golden Ear, the noble's child was saved and my Wen family was able to escape danger."
Yingbao nodded: "So that's how it is."
It seems that the Wen family was destroyed in the previous life because of the death of that nobleman's child.
Wen Shu whispered, "Yingbao, no matter what, we are best friends. This will never change."
"Yeah." Yingbao snuggled in Sister Wen's arms, just like in the previous life. "We are good friends for life, and it will never change."
The next day, Yingbao and Wenshu got up, washed up, ate the breakfast made by their second aunt-in-law, and ran to the orchard to pick a basket of ripe grapes, a basket of yellow duck pears and a few peaches.
"Take these to Mrs. Wen to try." Yingbao placed the fruit basket on the Wen family's carriage.
Wen Shu didn't want to go back so early, but the Jiang family was busy picking cotton, and if he stayed here he would not be able to help much, and would instead be a hindrance.
"When your family is done with their work, you should go to school right away." Wen Shu said, "My mother wants to test your academic performance over the past few months."
"knew."
After seeing Wen Shu off, Yingbao finally had time to look through the book given to her by Mrs. Wen.
"Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases", "Tang Materia Medica", "Prescriptions for Emergencies Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces", "Wound Prescriptions of a Thousand Gold Pieces", "Four Medical Classics", etc. are all medical classics that are not available locally.
