"Hand?" Guarjia took a while to react and realized that Hongzhan was talking about the time he bit her before. She immediately said: "It's just a small injury. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Hongzhan glanced at her, took her hand, and rolled up his sleeves. A small circle of tooth marks was clearly visible, and blood oozed from a few places. Hongzhan stretched out his hand to rub the wound gently, and then lowered his head again.
After blowing for a few times, he said, "Auntie, does it still hurt?"
Hongzhan's sensibleness made her heart tremble, and he said with pity: "I told you earlier that it doesn't hurt, silly boy, my aunt asked someone to get water to wash your face. Look at your face, you don't look like an elder brother at all, but more like a
Little tabby cat.”
Hongzhan smiled shyly. After washing his face, Guarjia said: "My aunt will have the rice warmed up and brought to you. You are also tired today. After drinking, go to bed early."
"Auntie, I want paper and pen to practice calligraphy. In addition, I also need the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic. Can you ask someone to find it for me?" Hongzhan's words made Guarjia stunned. She knelt down and said, "Is it Liu's promise?"
What did I say to you?"
"Well, E Niang said that even if I am here, I shouldn't miss my homework and have to practice calligraphy and study every day." Hongzhan's serious answer made Guarjia secretly annoyed. This Liu family, even if she is not with Hongzhan,
, and tried every means to control him. If Hongzhan had been by her side, Hongzhan would be forced to death sooner or later.
Thinking like this, she said: "Hongzhan, my aunt told you that you are still young, and it will be too late to wait until two or three years to learn and practice calligraphy."
"No!" Hongzhan shook his head and said, "I promised E Niang, and I must do it. I also ask my aunt to agree."
"You kid, okay, but you can only write for half an hour. After this hour, you will be ready to go to bed." Guarjia had no choice but to ask the palace servants to get the things, and then stood next to him.
Watching Hongzhan write. Don’t talk about Hongzhan
Although he is young, he can already write decently, and his handwriting is also correct, but he lacks the sharpness and strength of his strokes. But think about it, Hongzhan is still young after all, and does not have much strength in his hands. It would be good if he can write well.
, where is the strength at all?
In any case, Guarjia finally coaxed Hongzhan, and in the following days, the relationship between the two became more and more relaxed. When he was in trouble, Hongzhan would pester Guarjia to tell stories, but sometimes
One thing, however, has never changed, that is, he has never called Gualja.
Although it is a bit regretful, it does not prevent Guarjia from being good to Hongzhan, because she insists on keeping Hongzhan by her side, hoping to teach him to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and not to help others do evil in the future. As long as Hongzhan can understand this, he will not
It was a waste of her efforts.
At the same time, the Qi Jia family suffered a lot in the House of Internal Affairs. When she was a noble, she was arrogant by nature. In the past, she was not even looked down upon by the Liu family who was a humble concubine, let alone a palace official.
Okay. Qian Moduo is better off, but the people under him are not less offended by it, so now that she has been demoted to an official daughter, everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is taking pleasure in her misfortune.
She even deliberately pushed the errands in her hands to her. Qi Jia had never done these things before. She either did this wrong or broke that. She was often scolded by others. At the beginning, she even said a few words,
Later, after being punished and forced to kneel on the ground with a large vat of water for an hour, I became completely honest. No matter what others said, I kept my head down and did not dare to say anything.
But this did not mean that she accepted her identity as an official woman. On the contrary, she became more and more disgusted. Likewise, she also hated the Liu family more and more. In her opinion, if it were not for the Liu family, she would not be able to do it at all.
It's all Liu's fault that we will end up like this. If we don't take revenge, we will be disrespectful!
Hatred was like a poisonous seed, growing bigger and bigger in her heart. By the end, it had enveloped her whole heart, making her willing to take risks.
And the opportunity finally came after waiting day after day. On this day, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked her to send a batch of newly imported medicinal materials. Although Qi Jia had never been to the Imperial Pharmacy, she knew that it was the best place in the world.
The most complete collection of medicinal materials not only has life-saving medicines, but also life-threatening poisons. Just a little bit can kill people, such as arsenic!
After arriving at the imperial pharmacy, Zhao Fang was not there, so Qi Jia handed the medicinal materials to the young eunuch there and watched them sort them into categories and put them into large drawers with the names of the medicinal materials on them.
Qi Jia looked behind for a while and said to an eunuch named Sun: "Eunuch Sun, how many kinds of medicinal materials do you have here? I can't count them all no matter how many times I count."
Eunuch Sun said with a slight expression of contentment: "Official women don't know something. We don't say there are thousands of medicinal materials here, but there are definitely more than three or four hundred. Almost all the famous medicinal materials can be found here. At best, they only have a few years.
the difference."
Qi Jia hated people calling her an official girl the most, but she didn’t dare to talk back to Eunuch Sun at this time. Not only could she not get angry, but she also had to lose her smile. "What my father-in-law said is that with so many medicinal materials, several father-in-laws can remember them," she said.
Really? It would be terrible if there is a mix-up!"
Eunuch Sun turned around, pointed at his head and smiled contemptuously: "Have you seen this place? All the medicinal materials are stored here, and they are all stored here. If you talk about just one medicine, I can do it even with my eyes closed.
Point it out to you."
Qi Jia said in amazement: "Really?"
"This can still be false." This time it was not Eunuch Sun who spoke, but the person next to him. After pushing back a drawer full of medicinal materials, he said: "These are the most basic abilities to work in the Imperial Pharmacy.
, if the wrong medicine is given, someone will die."
Mrs. Qi Jia looked at the cabinets of medicinal materials that were lined up to the top, and said with a look of disbelief: "I still don't believe it. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember everything in a month or two."
Eunuch Sun was quite displeased with Qi Jia's questioning of his ability, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it and see if we are right."
"Okay!" This is what Qi Jia was waiting for, but she immediately said awkwardly: "But you are all looking at it now, and there is a label on the drawer, so you can see it at a glance."
Eunuch Sun and the two looked at each other and said, "In that case, let's just turn our backs."
Mrs. Qi Jia nodded, and after they faced the door, they began to tell the names of the medicines one by one. As expected, Eunuch Sun and the other one reported them accurately. It can be seen that they did not lie, but what they didn't know was that behind their backs,
After turning around, Mrs. Qi Jia began to eagerly check the label on the outside of the drawer. As for the name of the medicine reported to Eunuch Sun and the other two, they just looked at the label and reported it casually, without caring whether what they said was correct or not.
