Yingbao fell asleep without realizing it.
I was dreaming again in a daze.
The dream was full of things that happened in my previous life, one after another, like a revolving lantern.
In the dream, after being strangled to death by my own mother, I felt dizzy and saw many things.
Her biological parents followed Han Yueniang's family to seek refuge with a certain vassal king, because Chen Tiantian had become the vassal king's concubine.
Soon this prince rebelled, but was quickly suppressed by the imperial court. Afterwards, Chen Tiantian and a group of female relatives from the prince's palace were escorted to the capital and sent to the palace to serve as the lowest-ranking palace maids.
The prince and his descendants were all poisoned to death, and the one who ordered their death was Xiao Mo.
At this time, Xiao Mo was already the regent, supporting a young emperor who was only a few years old to sit firmly on the throne. The biological mother of the young emperor was Xiao Yanyan, a girl from the Xiao family.
The scene changed, and Yingbao saw her biological parents and their family, along with Han Yueniang's family, being escorted to the execution ground to be beheaded on the charge of treason.
Not only Chen Changping's family, but also Chen Changping's parents, brothers, nephews, etc. were all beheaded.
Treason is a serious crime, and the Chen family was implicated by Chen Changping and all nine generations of the Chen family were executed.
Later, the young emperor abdicated the throne to Xiao Mo, and he himself abdicated and became King Xiaoyao.
But not long after, the abdicated little emperor died inexplicably, and the Empress Dowager also committed suicide by taking poison.
Soon after, the young emperor's biological mother, Xiao Yanyan, was also sentenced to death for colluding with foreign enemies, and her parents, brothers, and nephew were all killed.
For a moment, all Yingbao could see were falling heads, splattering blood, and lying corpses, including men, women, old and young, and even children of a few years old.
The headless body looked like a rag doll, with bright red blood gushing out of its neck, which frightened her awake.
Suddenly, Yingbao sat up from the bed and broke out in a cold sweat.
It was already dawn outside the window and birds were singing happily outside.
Yingbao wiped her forehead and still felt sad when she thought of the scene in her dream.
That Xiao Mo was so terrible. He not only killed his aunt and cousin, but also his uncle's entire family, leaving no one alive.
I actually went against such a cruel person. Oh, I am really tired of living.
Yingbao jumped off the bed, put on her clothes and shoes, took out a bronze mirror, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and then put on a fu hat.
At this moment, the bronze bell outside had already sounded.
Yingbao took some water from the cave to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then poured the water on the ground in the cave.
After tidying himself up, he opened the door.
After last night's dream, Yingbao suddenly no longer rejected Chen Tiantian.
It turns out that the heroine also has her moments of failure, so there is nothing to worry about.
Thinking of Chen Tiantian in the dream, who was working in the Ye Ting laundry house in the middle of winter, with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, washing clothes and quilts for the palace ladies, and died of illness two years later. She was rolled up on a reed mat and buried in a mass grave outside the city. How sad it was.
All in all, she died only five years later than me.
Although he died, his two younger brothers were rescued and lived in the county town with the money and yard he left for them.
They went to commemorate and burn incense every year. Later, my eldest brother got married and had children. He also brought his son to kowtow in front of my grave...
"Yingbao, are you going to the cafeteria?" Xue Qian came out of the house and greeted her.
Yingbao: "Yes, is Sister Xueqian coming too?" It is said that breakfast is much better than dinner, so she has to line up early.
"Okay, wait for me." Xue Qian went back into the house to get the dishes and chopsticks, and picked up a bucket at the same time.
Xue Qian's house was very spacious, divided into inner and outer rooms. The doors and windows were all with carved wooden lattices. A total of four people lived in it.
Although there are many people, the house is big enough and the floor is paved with bluestone, so it is very clean and bright.
Unlike Yingbao's house, the floor was made of dirt, and the doors and windows were rotten. The house was made from a low and narrow storage room. Not only was it dark and damp, but there were also several rat holes.
So even though Yingbao lived alone in a room, no one was jealous.
The two walked into the cafeteria, where there were not many people.
This morning we had mutton buns and a fragrant vegetable soup, which was indeed more sumptuous than the meal in the evening.
Yingbao ate two mutton buns and drank a large bowl of vegetable soup, then she took the bowl to wash it with satisfaction.
There is a long ditch in front of the canteen. The water in it is relatively clear. Students wash dishes and clothes in this ditch.
While washing, I suddenly felt someone behind me.
Yingbao became alert and stood up immediately, and saw Chen Tiantian and Wen Yurong standing not far away.
"What are you looking at!" Yingbao glared at them rudely.
Chen Tiantian was silent. Wen Yurong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Junior Sister Yingbao, I want to ask, what subject are you going to choose?"
Yingbao thought about it, didn't scold her, and replied honestly: "I want to take the forbidden spell course."
"Forbidden spells?" Wen Yurong found it incredible. "I heard that you are good at making medicine, why don't you choose medicine?"
Yingbao said without blushing, "Because my forbidden spells are more powerful than medicine."
Wen Yurong:...
Someone next to him suddenly burst into laughter.
Yingbao turned her head and frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
The one who laughed was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen. He tried his best to hold back his laughter and said, "Junior sister, why don't you recite a forbidden spell so that we can learn from it."
"Are you sick? Do you want me to chant a spell?" Yingbao asked back rudely.
Teenager: "I am indeed sick. I have delirium."
"It's good that you know what disease you have." Yingbao walked towards the school without even looking at him.
The young man touched his nose. He was not angry at the little kid's words.
After putting the dishes back, Yingbao carried her medicine box on her back and walked towards the school.
She is a freshman and does not attend classes with Sister Xue Qian.
In fact, Xue Qian no longer attended classes. She and several other female doctors went to Huimin Pharmacy to work, learning from the master doctors and assisting them.
Huimin Pharmacy was a hospital established by the imperial court in various prefectures, counties and cities. It received common people who came for treatment and charged no or very little medical fees, so many people came to see the doctor every day.
The new school for Yingbao is right next to the Huimin Pharmacy, and a teacher is currently taking attendance.
There were several students sitting in the classroom, both boys and girls, all of them were young, the oldest no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
Yingbao found a seat and sat down, then she heard the teacher calling her name.
"Jiang Yingbao!"
"arrive!"
The teacher looked at her and asked, "Can you read?"
“Learn to read!”
“What pharmacopoeias have you read?”
"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Pulse Classic, Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases, Qianjin Yifang, Compendium of Materia Medica, and Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases." In fact, there are more than that. The pharmacopoeias and prescriptions that Yingbao has read can fill a large bamboo basket.
The Master looked surprised.
He looked at the little girl in front of him, a little bit incredulous, so he asked her a few passages from medical classics, and she answered them all.
The master stroked his beard and said, "Since you have read the classics thoroughly, there is no need to delay with me. Go to the pharmacy and find Mr. Yan and ask him to arrange a new teacher for you."
His class is only a history and classics class. Since the little girl is already familiar with various medical classics, it would be a waste of time for her to stay here. It would be better to let Yan Sen assign her to a subject and find a corresponding master to teach her.
So Yingbao happily ran to find the doctor.
Humph! Finally I don't have to face Chen Tiantian all day.
She was going to the Forbidden Curse Department, but the Forbidden Curse Department was not in the same place as the Medical Department, and she didn't believe that Chen Tiantian could go with her to learn Forbidden Curse and perform shaman rituals.
