After passing through the courtyard in twos and threes, the vermilion palace wall turned into a gray brick wall.
Different from the luxurious inner courtyard, the outer courtyard of the imperial hospital is more like the handyman's room where the palace maids and eunuchs lived.
There are more than a hundred low-rise bungalows, and some court ladies and eunuchs have sent some medicinal herbs into the bungalows, waiting to be screened and cleaned.
"The Royal Hospital is a step-by-step place. Your cultivation is superficial, and you can't make alchemy. Today, some medicinal herb seeds have just arrived from the outer courtyard, and they haven't been sorted. You can pick them out. Tomorrow morning, they will be sent to the Lingzhi Garden for sowing. "
Ye Lingyue thought to herself that a alchemist who could refine fifth-grade pills was directly discredited as a rookie with shallow cultivation and not qualified for alchemy.
It seems that this deputy manager is targeting her.
At this point, Deputy Manager Meng led Ye Lingyue to a pile of sacks.
She picked up one of the sacks, pulled out the rope, and poured out the seeds in the sack, which weighed five or six hundred catties.
The seeds in the sack are yellow, black, red, and colorful, and there are some of each. It can be seen that there are more than a hundred kinds of seeds mixed.
There is nothing marked on the sack, the seeds are big and small, the big ones are the size of pebbles, and the small ones are like sesame seeds. Let alone choosing and marking the categories, just looking at them is already dazzling.
The deputy manager Pianmeng also asked people to pick out all the mixed seeds from the hundred sacks before tomorrow, which was almost an impossible task.
Seeing this situation, the eunuchs and maids who brought the seeds all started whispering. It seems that this new alchemist who just arrived must have not given filial money to Deputy Director Meng, and he is going to be in bad luck.
"Deputy Manager Meng, what do you mean, I have to pick out all the seeds in these hundreds of pockets in one day. Normally, these things should be done by handymen." Ye Lingyue disagreed He asked nonchalantly.
"Are you the manager or I am the manager. Whoever the deputy manager wants to do it has to do it. If you don't do it, you have to do it. Otherwise, if you don't obey the order, you have to get out of the imperial hospital. Even the presence of the empress dowager can't save you. You all retreat, and the selection of seeds is all left to Ye Fangshi, and no one is allowed to help."
Ye Lingyue's questioning made Deputy Director Meng even more annoyed. She gave an order, and all the court ladies and eunuchs who were still watching the fun retreated.
In the huge outer courtyard, only Ye Lingyue and the hundreds of sacks of seeds were left.
Damn old hag.
Ye Lingyue frowned and glanced at the herb seeds.
She is familiar with the Hongmeng Handbook, and she can recognize all kinds of herb seeds at a glance.
However, if these more than 100 bags and nearly a thousand catties of seeds are carefully selected, one day is far from enough.
I just offended the two chief managers in the morning. If I can't finish the task on time, the two will join forces tomorrow to make things difficult for me.
Ye Lingyue finally understood why Manager Qiu entrusted herself to Deputy Manager Meng.
Of these two people, one disagrees with Master Longyu, and the other is a narrow-minded and greedy villain. They really are a pair of sluts. In the Royal Hospital, I don’t know how many alchemists and doctors have suffered from these two people.
No, no matter what today, she will never let the scheme of those two sluts succeed.
Ye Lingyue was too busy alone, and the outer courtyard was quiet, no one dared to come in to help Ye Lingyue.
She simply released Xiao Zhiyo and Xiao Wuya from Hongmeng Tianli together.
The two little guys both know how to communicate with Ye Lingyue, they just need to be taught to understand.
As soon as Xiaozhi came out, he saw colorful seeds all over the place, thought it was a new type of melon seeds, picked one up with his claws, and put it in his mouth
One click and one bite.
Crunchy and hard, Xiao Zhi found that the taste was not good, with a wrinkled face, he was very disgusted and threw the seeds away.
"You can't eat this little squeak. These are the seeds of figs, these are the seeds of the vine, and this is Fu Mingzi..." Ye Lingyue patiently taught the two little beasts.
Xiao Zhiyo is a lazy person. He loves food the most, but he is the most lazy to use his brain. After hearing a few names, he dozed off, nestled comfortably on Ye Lingyue's shoulder, and dozed off.
At that time, the honest little Wuya stared at Ye Lingyue with her black eyes, and silently memorized the names of the dozen or so medicines that Ye Lingyue taught her.
After listening, Little Wuya patted her little wings. It has been able to fly at low altitude for a while.
As soon as the wings fluttered, it flew to a sack, and obediently used its mouth to pick out the seeds.
Ye Lingyue also started, using the tripod's breath to quickly distinguish the seeds.
After picking for more than an hour, Ye Lingyue only picked out a sack of seeds.
The little Wuya on the side looked at it and tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, it let out a joyful chirping sound, flapped its wings again, and landed on a nearby branch.
Little Wuya vibrated her throat, and let out a crisp whistle-like sound.
Among the birds, the Phoenix family has the sound closest to the sounds of nature.
Although the little crow looked like a black crow, it was of the blood of the phoenix after all.
Although the voice is still immature, but there is an indescribable terrifying power mixed in it.
As soon as the voice came out, it circled around in the sky above the entire palace.
In the summer palace, there were already a large number of rare birds and spirit birds in captivity. When they heard the cry of the little crow, those birds flew away in shock.
Rare birds and spirit birds all know a common rule that the king of all birds is the phoenix.
The phoenix sang, like the order of the king of birds, all other birds must go to worship.
Ever since, a very special scene appeared above the summer palace.
Numerous birds, big and small, brightly colored peacocks, parrots with sensitive lips and tongues, eagles paying tribute from outside the Great Wall, and those colorful doves and snow chickens locked in the imperial dining room also went to the outer courtyard of the imperial hospital, or Either spread your wings and fly high, or run in a hurry.
Seeing the sudden riot of the rare birds, the eunuchs and maids were frightened half to death, thinking that these rare birds and spirit birds were all sick.
Thanks to Xiaowuya's young age, her voice is not very loud. If it is really louder, let alone the entire Summer Palace, the birds in the entire Summer Capital might be moved by the sound. That scene is amazing. It's even more spectacular.
The cry of Xiao Wuya also attracted Ye Lingyue's sideways attention, but she still didn't understand the reason why Xiao Wuya did this.
But after a while, Ye Lingyue also noticed something was wrong.
The originally clear sky suddenly turned black, as if countless dark clouds had moved over.
Ye Lingyue looked up, her expression was dull.
So many... birds.
