Chapter 114 Forget It, I Won’t
The next day, Jiang Tunan went to Ms. Zhao early to ask for medicine. He thought it would take some time to talk, but unexpectedly, Ms. Zhao gave it to him very readily.
Seeing Jiang Tunan wanting to reach out but hesitating, Lady Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Miss Jiang, just take it. The Xiguan Bureau is an institution that specializes in supplying medicine to the palace ladies. Besides..."
Lady Zhao moved closer to Jiang Tunan and spoke in a low voice,
"The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites have always been friends. Since Miss Jiang is the cousin of the Xiao family, we naturally have to take care of her."
It turned out that he had taken advantage of Xiao Huaimin's relationship.
"Sir, I would like to see the Imperial Physician. How can I do that?"
Jiang Tunan thought of Xiao Wu's matter and asked a question. Unexpectedly, Lady Zhao looked at Jiang Tunan strangely.
"Miss Jiang, are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing."
Lady Zhao smiled.
"Lord Li is very busy every day. Miss Jiang won't be able to see him unless it's something important."
Seeing the state of Lady Zhao, it would be very difficult to see the imperial physician. Jiang Tunan could only thank Lady Zhao first and take the medicine back to his residence.
After returning to the yard, Jiang Tunan handed the medicine to Chunhua, but Chunhua hesitated and said,
"Miss, Xiao Wu doesn't want to take a bath."
"what?"
Jiang Tunan didn't react at first, but then he remembered that the child seemed to be dirty and really needed to be washed thoroughly.
So Jiang Tunan followed Chunhua to Xiaowu's bed. When she went forward and took a look, she saw that the child's face, hands and feet had been wiped clean by Chunhua, but he was still wearing the dirty clothes.
"Xiao Wu, why don't you take a shower?"
Jiang Tunan spoke in a serious tone, and Xiao Wu blinked and answered in a low voice,
"Sister said that men should not take off their clothes in front of women."
Jiang Tunan:?
"Did your sister teach you that men who don't take a bath will become smelly?"
Xiao Wu's face turned red and he said embarrassedly,
"I..I don't think it stinks."
Jiang Tunan almost couldn't stand.
"Brother, you..."
Chunhua also advised,
"If you don't take a shower, you'll stink and no one will dare to get close to you."
Jiang Tunan heard Chunhua say this and thought of a solution. So she pretended to be worried.
"If you don't take a shower, Master Li will probably dislike you when he sees you looking so dirty..."
When Xiao Wu heard this, he felt really panicked. If Lord Li didn't like him, then what would happen to his sister and himself?
Jiang Tunan saw that Xiao Wu was somewhat persuaded, so he took advantage of the situation and said,
"Actually, you're right. How can a boy take off his clothes in front of a girl? So you can go in and take a shower by yourself. You can't be incapable of taking a shower by yourself, right? Man?"
Xiao Wu was a little angry after hearing what Jiang Tunan said.
"Just wash it yourself. I can do it."
Jiang Tunan looked confident of winning.
"Chunhua, prepare water."
Jiang Tunan turned and left, sighing softly. She felt that after she came here, all her energy had been used to compete with this child in wits and courage.
Elsewhere in the Imperial Medical Bureau, Wen Yinzhi pushed open the gate of his courtyard with frivolous steps.
He..finally found a way to cure Ryokawa Sawaki!!
Wen Yinzhi had obvious bruises under his eyes, and his collar was stained with some biscuit crumbs. He leaned against the door frame and looked at the sky, silently shedding two lines of tears.
"Studying medicine... is great. I will study medicine again in my next life..."
After saying that, he fell backwards.
Because Wen Yinzhi lived in a very remote place, it took a long time before the palace maid in charge of cleaning found Wen Yinzhi lying on the ground.
At the same time, Jiang Tunan was fulfilling his promise to the old man in the medicine garden and was helping to weed in the medicine garden.
"Hey! Those are medicinal herbs, not weeds. Don't pull them out for me!"
The old man shouted distressedly behind Jiang Tunan, "This girl is such a fool. He has taught her ten times but she still hasn't learned it."
"Ah? Really? This is a medicinal herb?"
Jiang Tunan muttered softly. In her eyes, all the grasses looked exactly the same.
She was raised by her grandparents in modern times. Although she sometimes helps with farm work, recognizing plants is her weakness.
The old man just felt tired and waved to Jiang Tunan.
"Forget it, girl, you should take a break."
Jiang Tunan said politely,
"Oh~ I'm so sorry~"
"You should be ashamed. Look, a large area of my herb garden is bald."
The old man looked at Jiang Tunan with some disdain. He originally wanted to find a laborer, but unexpectedly found a hammer.
Jiang Tunan stood aside timidly, she actually wanted to help seriously.
"You know dog heart grass, are you from the south?"
The old man spoke casually, but his eyes were always looking at Jiang Tunan. This girl's clothes didn't look like a female official here, let alone a palace maid. Instead, she looked like a young lady from some family. How could she appear in the Imperial Medical Bureau?
"Am I from the South?"
I am indeed from the south, but I am not sure whether the original owner is from the south.
"Hey, you're such an interesting girl. You don't even know where you are from."
"I am, then."
"No, unless you sing a folk song for me, I will believe that you are from the south."
Jiang Tunan:?
“Who says people from the south can only sing folk songs?”
The old man looked like a scoundrel.
"Girls in our area can all sing folk songs."
Jiang Tunan immediately grasped the key information.
“Are you from the South, too?”
The old man chuckled.
"The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the flowers are as beautiful as brocade, and the people are outstanding and the place is famous. I am a native of Xilin County."
Xilin County? When preparing for the entrance exam, Jiang Tunan had read some books about the geography of Daxing. The local conditions and customs there were similar to those in modern Guangxi.
The old man looked at the houttuynia cordata beside him with a nostalgic look.
"I haven't been back to see him for a long time. I really can't continue to be the imperial physician for a day."
Jiang Tunan was stunned.
"You...you are the Imperial Physician, Lord Li?"
"What's wrong? It doesn't look like that?"
Jiang Tunan nodded, then immediately shook his head. Lady Zhao said that the Imperial Physician was very busy every day, and it turned out that he was busy farming.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to ask me?"
Li Jihuai saw that Jiang Tunan seemed to want to say something but hesitated, so he started to ask.
Jiang Tunan was hesitating at this moment. Lord Li said that he was from Xilin County, but Xiao Wu said that he was from Hezhong County. These two places are one in the south and the other in the north, which is really unrelated.
But what if he is a relative of Lord Li’s wife? This is also possible, but how should I ask?
"I want to ask, do you have any relatives in Hezhong County?"
Li Jihuai replied calmly,
"You can ask questions, but sing folk songs first."
Jiang Tunan: ...
Today I have to argue with mountain songs.
There was no other way, Jiang Tunan could only clear his throat and try to speak.
"Sing ↗﹏Folk Song~~"
Very good, the first sentence broke.
"You little girl, are going to scare an old man like me to death."
Li Jihuai patted his chest. He was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair.
"Sorry, I'll do it again."
The note just now was too high, so I’ll change to a lower note this time.
"Thank you so much. Never mind. I don't know how to do it."
Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up. Jiang Tunan, don't force yourself to squeeze into a circle that you can't squeeze into.
