In the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in Luoyue City, after Nangong Yue enthusiastically tidied it up for a few days, the Bixiao Hall finally looked brand new. After all, the things in Xiao Yi's private treasury were a bit old, and the Bixiao Hall looked empty, which was really not elegant. Nangong Yue thought about it for a while, and asked people to inquire about the shops in Nanjiang, planning to buy some.
No matter what, Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei to Zhuli Zhai with great interest when she thought of the "Southern Border Baicao" that had not yet been copied.
With the Yimen of Bixiaotang, it is very convenient for her to come in and out.
I went there for a few hours every day, and in just four or five days, I had already written it.
Nangong Yue asked the boss to bind the "Southern Border Baicao" copied by herself, and went to the house where her grandfather Lin Jingchen lived temporarily with Xiao Fei.
Lin Jingchen just entered Luoyue City three days ago, and Nangong Yue deliberately chose today to go there just to bring this gift.
Although there are only two entrances to Xiao Yi's courtyard, it is far away from the busy city, and the location is very quiet. Nangong Yue knew at a glance that her grandfather would definitely like it.
When Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei came to the house where Lin Jingchen lived temporarily, they saw a person drying medicine in the yard at a glance. The place where Lin Jingchen lived always exuded a strong fragrance of medicine.
Both Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were startled, and they blurted out at the same time: "Sister Xia?"
Han Qixia, who was leaning over to dry the medicine with her back to them, turned around when she heard the words, and saw that she was wearing a simple blue dress, her long black hair was braided into simple braids, her forehead was already dripping with sweat, That jade-like skin was almost tanned to a honey color.
Although it is only mid-April, the weather in southern Xinjiang is even hotter than in June in the capital. The strong, dazzling sunlight shone brightly on the yard and on Han Qixia's skin, making her skin Reveals a rosy and healthy glow.
"Sister Yue! Sister Fei!" Han Qixia has a surprised smile on her face, and hastily greeted her.
Looking at the current Han Qixia, Nangong Yue couldn't tell what it was like. The eldest girl of Qi Wangfu was once called a golden branch and jade leaf, but now she is dressed worse than a maid... If the late emperor was still alive, seeing his granddaughter fell into the In such a situation, what would you think
But--
Han Qixia obviously didn't care, with a bright smile on her face and piercing eyes. This was something Nangong Yue had never seen on her face before, as if she had untied the shackles that once bound her body and became another person.
Han Qixia obviously saw the complexity in Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei's eyes, touched her face, and joked nonchalantly: "Sister Yue, Sister Fei, you don't know me, do you? They all went up to the mountains with my grandfather to collect and sun-dry the medicines, they were all tanned, and they lost a lot of weight... "
When she first arrived in Southern Xinjiang, Han Qixia was not used to it. During the journey, at first she slept very deeply every night because of exhaustion, but after that, she couldn't sleep for several nights in a row. Later, it was Lin Jingchen who seemed to be watching She came out, but he didn't prescribe her some calming tea, and he didn't take her directly into Luoyue City. Instead, he led her up the mountain to pick herbs for a while, and then went to the small market that Xiao Yi mentioned.
That day, she was sweating all over, and she had a good sleep when she came back. She had no dreams until dawn.
After that, Han Qixia practiced Wuqinxi with Lin Jingchen every day, collected herbs, dried herbs, processed medicinal materials, went to the market, and went to the pharmacy... Her dress became more and more concise, her behavior became more casual, and her smile became more and more casual. brilliant…
Suddenly, she understood what she wanted to do!
Now, she wants to study medicine with her grandfather. As for the future, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!
Han Qixia looked at Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei calmly, her smile was gentle and indifferent, and she was peaceful and far-reaching.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also laughed, finally letting go of their worries about Han Qixia. As long as Han Qixia can figure it out, life will get better day by day.
"Yue'er!" At this time, a man in a straight gray suit walked towards the front yard from the right side of the house, looked at them with a bright smile, and said, "Didn't you and sister Fei also come to help me dry the medicine?"
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other and smiled, the latter hurriedly said: "Grandfather, please teach me!"
"Grandfather," Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Fei with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Sister Fei and I have prepared a gift for you..." She made a gesture with her eyes, and Baihui took out Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had a hard time transcribing "Nanjiang Materia Medica" these days.
When Lin Jingchen opened it, his eyes were burning, and he was fascinated by reading one page after another, and muttered in his mouth: "I seem to have seen this herb yesterday on the mountain, so it is..."
Seeing his engrossed look, it was obvious that he had already forgotten about the other people present.
Nangong Yue exchanged a funny look with Han Qixia. Han Qixia has been accustomed to Lin Jingchen's temperament for a long time.
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue rolled up her sleeves and said to Xiao Fei with a smile, "Let's help my grandfather dry the pinellia and Huoxiang..." As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and looked around. There are also Xiangru, Bupleurum, tangerine peel, almonds in the medicine basket and medicine basket...
"Sister Xia, is my grandfather preparing medicines to relieve summer heat?" Nangong Yue looked at the herbs and asked thoughtfully.
Han Qixia's eyes showed admiration, and she thought to herself: Even if her medical skills can reach half of sister Yue's level, she must be of great use in the future.
"Sister Yue, you are right." Han Qixia nodded and said, "I heard that this year's southern Xinjiang is hotter than in previous years. A few days ago, when my grandfather and I went to collect medicine outside the city, we encountered many passers-by who almost suffered from heat stroke. My grandfather thought that he could make some pills that are easy to carry around. On the one hand, he would put them on consignment in the herbal tea shed beside the official road, and on the other hand, he could take some to barter with the medicine farmers in the market.”
Nangong Yue came to southern Xinjiang for the first time, and she didn't have much feeling about the climate change in southern Xinjiang. Although she knew that it was very hot recently, she only thought that the weather in southern Xinjiang was always like this. As for Xiao Fei, who grew up in southern Xinjiang, she felt thoughtful when she heard what Han Qixia said.
"Yue'er, Sister Fei," at this time, Lin Jingchen finally recovered from the "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica", and praised, "Your gift is really worth a thousand gold!" Page.
"Grandfather, as long as you like it."
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other with a smile. This gift depends on whether the other party likes it. This "Nanjiang Materia Medica" has been piled up in Zhuli Zhai for many years. If Nangong Yue doesn't go, then it Even if the pearl is covered with dust, I don't know how long it will be buried, or it will be turned into a pile of waste paper one day. Fortunately, the owner of Zhulizhai is a book lover, and has collected all kinds of books.
Lin Jingchen finally closed the book, and said: "Yue'er, you can use this "Nanjiang Materia Medica", how about this, you can lend me a few days first, and return it to you after I finish transcribing it..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Baihui and Que'er all smiling behind him, Que'er couldn't help but interjected: "Master Lin, my concubine and eldest daughter are already copying the second copy. "Although this "Southern Border Materia Medica" is only a thin book, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei really spent a lot of effort. Especially, this book involves medicinal herbs, but there is nothing wrong with it. Even Magpie Baihui helped Proofread it several times just to be sure.
Transcribe? Lin Jingchen thought of something, and hurriedly opened it again to take a look. The ink was still fresh, and he suddenly realized. It turned out that this was a book specially written by Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei for him. Lin Jingchen was very moved by the two little girls' intentions.
Nangong Yue simply talked to Lin Jingchen about the Zhuli Zhai, and Lin Jingchen was also very interested. After asking about the location, she also said that she would go there someday, and maybe she could find some useful medical books.
Thinking of the troubles of the girls, Lin Jingchen decided to reciprocate, and said with a smile, "Yue'er, Sister Fei, you all stay with me for lunch today. Let you have a taste of grandfather's craftsmanship!"
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Sister Fei, you are lucky, your grandfather's cooking skills are outstanding, and it's not easy to sell them on weekdays."
As soon as she said it, many memories of her grandfather in her previous life flashed through Nangong Yue's mind quickly, and a little nostalgia and emotion appeared on her face.
But Lin Jingchen only thought that it was Mrs. Lin who told Nangong Yue, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, you should stop selling melons for grandpa Wangpo!"
For a moment, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and the crisp laughter echoed in the yard, and even the sunshine seemed to become brighter.
Next, Lin Jingchen ran to the kitchen to cook, and Han Qixia followed him to help him. Looking at her posture, it is obvious that these days, what she has learned from Lin Jingchen is not just medical skills!
As for the medicinal materials in the courtyard, Lin Jingchen assured Nangong Yue to be in charge, and Nangong Yue led Xiao Fei and the maids to be very busy.
For Xiao Fei, although it was a bit hard, she always nestled in the study on weekdays and kept her ears shut from the window. She had never experienced sweating like this.
Well, it's actually quite good!
Under the sun, Xiao Fei's small face showed a slight smile, full of joy.
When their side finished work, Lin Jingchen's lunch was almost ready, and everyone had a great time eating this meal with some fruit wine, and all the dishes on the table were swept away.
After lunch, Nangong Yue bid farewell.
At this hour, the sun seemed to become more dazzling and hotter, as if entering summer ahead of schedule.
Seeing that the sun was shining outside, Baihui specially ordered the little maid to bring two paper umbrellas to shade the masters from the sun. She was a little worried: it's only mid-April and it's so hot, how hot will it be in June and July in southern Xinjiang? The Crown Princess is used to the weather in the capital, so I don't know if she won't get used to it...
"Grandfather." At this time, Xiao Fei hesitated, and said, "I wonder if you can write a herbal tea recipe for Fei'er to cool off?" Although Xiao Fei also knew that her request must be a little overkill, but She thought to herself that since her grandfather was the number one genius doctor in the world, even herbal tea recipes must be better than others.
For Lin Jingchen, this was nothing more than a trivial matter, so he naturally agreed.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Fei returned home with Nangong Yue with herbal tea recipes in her pocket, and made an appointment with Han Qixia to play chess with her.
Lin Jingchen's residence was not too far from the palace, and within two minutes of incense sticks, they returned to Zhennan Palace. Since their carriages and horses left from the gate of the East Street of the Palace, they also went back through the gate of the East Street as usual. Aggrieved, Xiao Fei could only take a detour in Bixiaotang and then return to Yuebiju.
After Xiao Fei returned to Yuebiju, she ordered Taoyao to call the nurse in charge of Yuebiju.
Xiao Fei seldom took the initiative to find the nanny in charge, Taoyao felt a little strange, but she went there immediately.
After a while, a woman in her forties, wearing a half-new lilac-colored hang silk gown, followed Taoyao into the small study room, and said hello to Xiao Fei respectfully: "I have seen you, big girl."
"Mother Zheng," Xiao Fei put down the herbal tea prescription in her hand, and looked at the other party, "I want to pay one hundred taels of silver."
Nanny Zheng was stunned, the servants of Yuebiju knew that the eldest girl always thought that gold and silver were vulgar things and never touched them. On weekdays, I have been obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I feel a bit ignorant of the fireworks in the world. Even if she wanted to buy books and pens, it was Taoyao who asked her to get the money. Why did the girl suddenly ask herself that she wanted so much money today, could it be...
Madam Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but she immediately said to herself, don't scare yourself.
