Shaoyao smiled, "It's nothing, I'm not sad, the master said that it's better to be ugly than to be ugly at heart, my companions have always been very kind to me, the master hired a master for me to learn medicine, and it just so happened that I have a talent in this area, the master said that as long as I keep working hard, I will definitely be the best doctor in the world in ten years, and I have made friends now, you don't know how happy I am."

I know, Hua Zhi, looking at her sparkling eyes and her smile without a trace of gloom, that her master and her companions protect her very well. Because of them, she can be so open-minded and sincere.

"I am your first friend, and you are also my first friend. So, as the first friend, you should have privileges, right?"

The first one! Shaoyao nodded happily, "What do you want? I can get it for you. My master is so powerful."

"It has nothing to do with these." Hua Zhi met her excited and expectant eyes and smiled gently, "I'll give you a nickname, so we can call each other that way."

The peony heads are almost falling off.

Hua Zhi smiled, "Do you know what is the strongest, most resilient, and most vital thing in this world?"

Peony can say a lot of things about strength, resilience and vitality in one breath, but she who has all three cannot answer at the moment.

"You are the grass that can be found everywhere, which can never be burned by wildfires but will grow again in the spring breeze. You are just like it, strong and resilient, with strong vitality. From now on, I will call you Caocao, and the two of us together will be called Huahuacaocao."

Having got a new unique name, Shaoyao was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. She ran out and hugged several maids in turn, and then went to Fudong to steal a few bites before returning to the room.

Hua Zhi let her do as she pleased and took a thick booklet from the bedside and started flipping through it.

This is one of the three booklets she brought out from the Hua family's old house. It records some things in incomplete simplified Chinese characters. Some of these things will never be used in this life, but she wrote them down when she thought of them, fearing that they would fall into the hands of the wrong person. She also deliberately used her flamboyant handwriting. The combination of the two makes it difficult to recognize every word correctly. Even if someone really recognizes it, Hua Zhi can make a conclusion. Anyone who has seen her handwriting will say that her handwriting is as good as she is.

She would occasionally flip through it, adding or deleting something.

When she heard the noise and saw Shaoyao coming in with puffed cheeks, she closed the book, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her.

After swallowing a mouthful of meat and drinking a glass of water, Shaoyao said with satisfaction, "Finally, I can eat it. Huahua, you don't know how miserable I was a while ago. Everyone who went with me on a mission was tricked into falling into the water, and we couldn't eat any dry food. Fortunately, we didn't starve because of the jerky you gave us. By the way, someone will send beef over tomorrow. You said beef jerky tastes better than pork jerky."

…What a qualified foodie, but Hua Zhi didn’t want to refuse. In Daqing Dynasty, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered casually, and they could only be eaten a few times a year. She was also very greedy. Besides, if she didn’t collect Shaoyao, she would definitely be unhappy.

"Where did you send it to?"

"I thought you were back by now, so I asked someone to bring you here. Remember to ask someone to pick you up at the back door."

"Don't be so ostentatious."

"I know. The master said he would have someone keep it tightly covered."

Hua Zhi nodded, "My grandmother is in a bad condition?"

When it comes to business, Shaoyao also becomes serious. "It's terrible. She already has a weak foundation. In addition, she is depressed and has many thoughts. I can't save myself ten years later. I have read the prescription and it is fine. The doctor's medical skills are very good. I can't prescribe a more suitable prescription than this one. If there is no better prescription, I don't recommend changing it. It's better to use it first. I will go back tomorrow and look through the medical book left to me by my master to see if there are other ways."

"Then you'll have to take the trouble to make the trip. You know the situation of the Hua family, and grandma can't fall."

"Huahua, I'm not lying to you. You have to be prepared. Unless she lets it go and gets over it, the situation will only get worse."

"We have to try." Hua Zhi felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Her original plan was to hold on in the front, and she could handle it by making money or using connections. She didn't plan to get involved in the affairs of the backyard. As long as her grandmother was there, as long as she could make money, she could shut those people up. But now, she had no choice.

My grandmother clearly knew her situation but she didn't force her. I guess she knew she wasn't happy about it.

"Huahua, don't be sad. The master said that there is no river that cannot be crossed. It all depends on how determined you are. You are so capable, nothing can stump you."

Hua Zhi calmed down and teased her, "The master says everything. Does your master like to talk so much?"

"No, he doesn't like to talk usually, but he's a very nice person and he treats me very well."

Hua Zhi actually regretted saying that the moment she said it. Some people cannot be joked about, so she changed the subject, "I plan to invite a martial arts teacher back. The children at home cannot be so weak. I can't say what I can do for the rest, but at least no child at home can be left behind."

"That's great. Many families would do this. Didn't the Hua family invite people to do this before? Do they just need to study?"

"Almost. Perhaps people who have inherited poetry and literature are a bit arrogant in nature and look down on crude martial arts."

Shaoyao held her face and asked, "Did you invite someone?"

"I plan to send someone to my grandfather's house tomorrow to ask him for help."

Shaoyao blinked her eyes. Her friend was in trouble and it was time for her to help. But she didn't say anything. She just ate lunch and dinner, and went out on the pretext of digesting the food before sending the message back. She didn't use up the promise that the prince had made to Huahua. It would be a disservice to use up such an important promise for such a small matter.

After a good night's sleep, I went out to see Huahua dressed neatly, followed by Liu Xiang carrying a basket. "Huahua, where are you going? You don't want to have breakfast with me?"

"I have to go to the tribe school to teach the children. I have already had breakfast. Go quickly. Fudong has made fish meal."

"You want to be a gentleman?" Shaoyao's eyes lit up. "Can I come to see you later?"

"If you don't find it boring."

"Not at all."

Shaoyao really went there. She was afraid of scaring people, so she wore a veil and held the hanging part with her hands. Everyone living there was Huahua's family, and she didn't want to be disliked by Huahua's family.

She followed the sound and listened through the wall for a long time until the class was over and it was time for the children to rest. Then she quickly ran away, thinking as she walked, her friend is so awesome!
