When Miss Jun and his party returned to Zhangqingshan, it was already dusk.
The mountain village has been filled with thick smoke for the last nine months, and now every household has received lamp oil. Although she was not used to it at first, Liu'er walked around the village and asked if she wanted to covet the lamp oil given by her lady by not lighting the lamp.
The lamp oil is given to you so that you can light the lamp. If you don’t light it, why do you want to keep it? This is not yours, it belongs to my lady. Do you want to embezzle my lady’s things?
Although this logic sounds a bit confusing, it seems to be correct.
So the villagers who were reluctant to light the lamps started lighting them honestly, and some women even started to live luxuriously under the lamps.
Although dusk had just fallen at this time, the villagers' houses were also lit with lamps. From a distance, they looked like stars, making them appear warm and peaceful.
"Thank you for your hard work." Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, Miss Jun smiled and saluted the dozen men escorting her.
The men hurriedly returned the gift in a restrained manner, and after watching Miss Jun leave, they regained their composure. Someone was responsible for driving the horse to the stable.
Although Liu'er originally said that each person had a horse, the horses were not distributed to everyone. Instead, they were maintained by specialized people and they were picked up when the horses were needed.
The remaining people walked towards the village talking and laughing, and saw Xia Yong walking towards them.
"How are you today?" he asked suddenly.
A man suddenly became energetic.
"It was a good day today. I met more than twenty bandits." He said.
"Yes, yes, I thought it was a waste of time again." Another man also said happily, "I haven't seen this for a long time."
In the dusk, Xia Yong's expression looked groggy.
A villager stretched out his hand and pulled the two men, who were gesticulating and trying to continue the story.
The two men stopped talking.
The scene was eerily quiet.
"Captain, we..." A man boldly tried to explain.
Xia Yong raised his hand to stop him.
"That's right. Since you eat from others, you have to do things for them." He said, "Go back."
The men breathed a sigh of relief and happily walked away from Xia Yong.
Xia Yong stopped and looked outside the village. He hesitated and walked towards Miss Jun's courtyard. Miss Jun's courtyard was even brighter. The laughter of Lei Zhonglian and others came from the courtyard next door. It was Liu'er and the cook who gave
They sent meals.
Miss Jun seems a little quiet here.
Xia Yong thought about his words for a moment before stamping his feet and coughing lightly.
"Is it fun outside?"
A female voice came from the room.
Xia Yong stopped.
History?
He looked a little surprised. In all these years, he had almost never gone down the mountain, let alone entered other people's homes.
Shi Qian also took the initiative to ask about the outside world.
Xia Yong was silent for a moment, then turned and walked away.
Miss Jun in the room didn't know that Xia Yong hesitated in front of the door and then left. She spread her freshly washed hair and looked at Zhao Hanqing who was sitting at the table curiously playing with pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
"Dry my hair." she greeted.
Zhao Hanqing put down the pen in his hand and came over with a sigh, and skillfully helped Miss Jun smoke her hair on the brazier.
"Add some cypress branches and dried flowers to smell delicious," she added.
Only wealthy people are used to doing this. Ordinary people, especially those here who don’t even have enough to eat, will pay attention to how to dry their hair better?
When she and her master were running around outside, they only washed and dried their hair during the day. Only when they returned to the palace did they have all kinds of ingenious thoughts.
Miss Jun glanced at her.
Zhao Hanqing also wrote good calligraphy, which was completely different from his master's calligraphy. It should have been taught by Xiao Zhi.
Although she grew up in the mountains and had no contact with outsiders, and was good at climbing mountains and trees, and shooting and hunting, she was not naughty or vulgar, and showed good manners in every move she made.
Xiao Zhi.
Miss Jun recited the name silently.
Which big family is Xiao...Xiao? Beidi...
Xiao!
Miss Jun stood up suddenly, her scalp hurting from being pulled, and Zhao Hanqing also groaned.
"I didn't pay attention."
They said at the same time, apologized to each other, looked at each other, and laughed again.
"I was distracted by my thoughts." Miss Jun smiled and touched her hair, "You can read the medical book I wrote, I will do it myself."
Zhao Hanqing said no more politely and returned to the table.
During the day, Miss Jun took her to identify herbal medicines, and at night she asked her to read medical books.
This medical book is a book compiled by Miss Jun from the records she learned from her master. When it is completed in the future, she will write Zhao Zhiyi's name, and of course add the nickname, Mr. Qingshan.
But now Miss Jun is not in the mood to think about Master.
Xiao.
If we talk about the most prominent Xiao family in the north, it is the royal family of Qi that was destroyed by the Jin people.
The State of Qi was once extremely prominent. The Sixteen States of Yanyun were in their hands at the beginning, and the Jin people were just a vassal tribe of theirs.
Of course, that was a long time ago. Before the Jin people broke through the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and robbed the emperor more than 20 years ago, Qi had already been destroyed by the Jin people.
Probably not?
Miss Jun looked at Zhao Hanqing who was studying hard with a complicated expression.
At this time, on the mountain, Yang Jing and Xia Yong were also standing outside Xiao Zhi's door with complicated expressions.
The lights were on in the courtyard and the charcoal pots were burning in the house, but Yang Jing and Xia Yong had no intention of entering the house, and Xiao Zhi, who was sitting inside the door, didn't think anything was wrong.
"She said she was being escorted, but actually she was taking these people everywhere to look for bandits and bandits." Xia Yong said, looking a little uneasy, "In the past few days, we have killed all the bandits and bandits in Qingyuan Prefecture, and the rest are also
They were all scared away."
Having said this, he smiled bitterly again.
"I think she might go somewhere other than Qingyuan Mansion next time."
"She gave her food and drink, and hired our people to escort her. It's hard for everyone to go out with her and not listen to her," Yang Jing said.
Xiao Zhi smiled.
"Suppressing bandits," she said, "she is really a kind-hearted doctor."
Pause here.
"How could someone like him teach such a disciple?"
Yang Jing and Xia Yong also knew who he was talking about. Yang Jing had no reaction and Xia Yong hesitated to speak.
"Brother, you are actually kind-hearted." He couldn't help but say.
"Since she wants to do these things, the key is that she gave her a generous reward." Xiao Zhi said, avoiding the topic of Xia Yong, "One hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods. We owe nothing to each other and each gets what he gets. It's good.
of."
That means consent.
Yang Jing and Xia Yong responded yes.
There were footsteps behind me, accompanied by a girl humming.
Yang Jingxia Yong was no stranger to humming this ditty, it was something they were used to singing, but this was the first time they heard Zhao Hanqing hum it.
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
"Mom, Uncle Yang, Uncle Xia, you are all here." Zhao Hanqing walked in, looked at them and raised his hand with a smile.
She held a face covering in her hand.
Not even covering your face?
"It won't scare anyone at night." Zhao Hanqing said, walking into the house in two or three steps.
In fact, what she was afraid of was never to scare others, but because she was afraid of herself and did not dare to look at her own face. Now she is not afraid anymore.
Xiao Zhi turned to look at his daughter who entered and smiled.
Yang Jing and Xia Yong also smiled and saluted and were about to leave. Zhao Hanqing thought of something and peeked inside.
"By the way, mother, two uncles, when sister Jiu Ling goes outside again, I will go with her." She said, looking a little uneasy. After speaking, she hurriedly added an explanation, "I need to go to Fucheng to buy some medicine. We don't have any medicine on the mountain.
, by the way, let me go to the medicine store to learn more medicinal materials."
Not only do you dare to go down the mountain, dare to take off your mask, but also dare to walk out of Zhangqingshan?
The three of them looked even more surprised, and Xiao Zhi smiled.
"I spent more than ten years thinking about it, but it took her just over a month." She laughed, "This is really frustrating."
