Ye Qiuniang signed a three-year work contract. If she breaks the contract and leaves early, she will have to pay twenty taels of silver in compensation.
The shopkeeper was reluctant to let go of Ye Qiuniang, who had excellent cooking skills, and repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay.
Ye Qiuniang confessed and said in a low voice: "Miss Xie San promised me five times my salary."
The shopkeeper had nothing to say, so he collected twenty taels of silver and returned the work deed to Ye Qiuniang. Ye Qiuniang carefully collected the work deed and went to the private room to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, Miss Third!" Ye Qiuniang bowed respectfully.
Xie Mingxi accepted it calmly.
The Ye Qiuniang in front of her is nothing short of trouble.
However, once she encountered him, she reached out to save him once.
After Ye Qiuniang left, Cong Yu hesitated for a moment and then asked in a low voice: "I'm afraid Aunt Ding won't be able to explain it to Aunt Ding after spending so much money for a cook."
That's fine with Aunt Ding, but what's more important is how Princess Yongning should explain it?
Xie Mingxi smiled casually and said, "I can handle it myself."
Cong Yu seemed to want to ask something more, but when Xie Mingxi stopped talking, she swallowed back the words that were on her lips.
On the first day when I was asked to serve the young lady, the young lady once said that she didn't like the maids around her being too talkative and asking too many questions. She had no other strengths but she could always be obedient.
Xie Mingxi's eyes showed satisfaction.
Fuyu is a material that can be made, and although Congyu is a little timid, he can still be trained.
"Miss, do you want to go back home?" Fuyu asked.
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "Go to the nearest pharmacy first."
…
Lanxiangyuan.
Aunt Ding frowned and could not sit still.
As soon as Wen Qi stepped into the house, before he could open his mouth, Aunt Ding asked impatiently: "Has Ming Niang returned home?"
Wen Qi cautiously responded: "Not yet."
Aunt Ding was anxious and angry, and stood up suddenly: "Where did she go?"
Without saying a word, he left the house and stayed away for most of the day. It's Shenshi now, but he hasn't returned yet! No matter how smart Xie Mingxi is, she is only ten years old. She has never been out of the house since she was a child, and she has such facial features.
painting……
It would be terrible if someone covets you and causes trouble!
There are still more than ten days before the examination period of Lianchi Academy.
During this period of time, Xie Mingxi must not make any mistakes.
Aunt Ding, who was unhappy and depressed, raised her eyebrows and ordered sternly: "Send someone out of the house immediately to look for her."
"Don't worry, Auntie." Wen Qi comforted her gently: "No one knows about the third lady's leaving the house for the time being. Going out to look for someone in such a big way has alarmed the whole family, which is not good. I will ask someone to go to the concierge to guard her.
As soon as the young lady returns home, she will come to deliver a letter to my aunt."
Aunt Ding exhaled the turbid air in her chest deeply: "Go quickly!"
After waiting for half an hour with a heavy heart, the news of Xie Mingxi's return home finally came.
Aunt Ding's heart finally fell to the ground, and she hurriedly led the maid to Chunjin Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, I was rejected!
Fuyu, who has a dark complexion and a stout figure, stopped Aunt Ding from the door: "The third lady told me that I am tired today and will not see anyone. Auntie, please come back!"
Aunt Ding: "..."
Aunt Ding was so angry that her face turned pale!
She is Xie Mingxi’s biological mother!
How dare a mere maid stop her!
It’s so outrageous!
As Aunt Ding's most capable maid, Wen Qi stood up proudly and scolded with a calm and pretty face: "Asshole! Auntie is worried about the third lady and came here to visit. How dare you stop her!"
Except for the first and fifteenth day of the month, Aunt Ding is in charge of the Xie family's residence on the rest of the days. Wen Qi is also quite prestigious, and when he opens his mouth, a fierce momentum comes to his face.
It's a pity that Fuyu doesn't know how to look at his face and act, so he stood there without moving: "Miss said, no one will be seen."
Wen Qi: "..."
Wen Qi was so choked that he almost couldn't get up.
Just when she was about to get angry, Aunt Ding said with red eyes, "That's it, I'll come back tomorrow."
…
After a while, Fuyu entered the room and reported: "Third Miss, Aunt Ding left in tears."
This is another trick used by Aunt Ding.
I thought this would make her soften and give in!
Xie Mingxi smiled and ordered: "You will continue to guard the door tomorrow and the day after, and don't let anyone in."
Fuyu responded.
Xie Mingxi ordered again: "Cong Yu, you and Fu Yu stay outside the door and don't let anyone get close without permission."
The two maids looked at each other and agreed together. Full of questions, they did not dare to ask more questions in front of Xie Mingxi. After leaving the room, they leaned their heads against each other and whispered.
"Strange, why did the lady come back with so many medicinal materials?"
"Not only the medicinal materials, but also the equipment for boiling medicine and making medicine, including two medicine stoves."
"Could it be that Miss knows how to make medicine?"
"How is this possible! Miss has never studied medicine, how can she know how to make medicine?"
The two maids looked at each other, both confused.
After coming out of Dingxiang Building, I went to five pharmacies in a row. Every time I arrived at a pharmacy, the third lady took out a piece of paper with a list of the medicinal materials she wanted to buy.
There are common ones and rare ones. There are twenty or thirty kinds on a piece of paper, and one or two of each kind is needed. The boy who dispenses the medicine can't see the slightest clue, and he takes the medicine and weighs it with a weird look on his face.
Five drug stores came over and bought more than a hundred kinds of medicinal materials.
In order not to attract attention, the two of them wrapped the medicinal materials in newly purchased silk and satin and carried them into the lady's boudoir.
What on earth is the lady going to do?
…
Various medicinal materials are mixed together, and the smell is not pleasant.
Xie Mingxi took a gentle sniff and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She was only fourteen years old when she was carried into the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
There were many beautiful and enchanting concubines in the palace. The fourth prince was indifferent to women and invited her to sleep with her. When he saw her shrinking and crying, he lost interest no matter how beautiful she was. He waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to lead her out.
He fell out of favor before he was favored, and the following days were difficult to live with.
She did not want to appear in public, and did not play chess, calligraphy or painting. In order to pass the time, she started reading medical books. She had been smart since she was a child and had a photographic memory. She soon memorized several medical books she had collected by heart, and the prescriptions mentioned in them were even more familiar.
Keep it in mind.
Later, in order to survive, she worked hard and tried every means. She prepared her own medicine to regulate her body, and she became pregnant overnight.
It is difficult to guard against the clandestine tricks of housewives. In order to protect the child, the food that is eaten every day must be carefully checked and used with caution. Not only must we guard against poisoning or abortive drugs, we must also avoid foods that are mutually reinforcing.
She gave birth to her son safely, settled down as a concubine, and her glory gradually emerged.
Empress Li, who was jealous and narrow-minded, watched helplessly as the person she helped up became a serious problem. She was so angry that she suffered from a stroke. She could not speak or move, and passed away after half a year.
She naturally became a royal concubine and was in charge of the Sixth Palace.
No one in the palace can overpower her.
She can do what she likes without worrying about anyone.
With her order, the magistrate of Taiyuan Hospital was eager to move all the medical books in Taiyuan Hospital into Qionghua Palace. Her children and grandchildren knew that she loved to read medical books, so they searched everywhere for ancient medical books or various prescriptions.
She has never treated anyone in her life, but she has read medical books and knows medical principles better than any famous doctor in the world.
The most skilled physician in the imperial hospital could only prescribe more than a hundred prescriptions. She had at least several hundred prescriptions memorized in her mind. Among them, there were even more exquisite prescriptions that were kept secret in the palace.
When she was interested, she also learned medicine and dispensing.
Dan powder pills, external ointments and internal decoctions can be used to treat everything.
What was once used as a pastime is now put to use in a new life.
Xie Mingxi chuckled and reached out to open the medicine bag.
The sky got darker little by little.
The door was closed tightly, and there was a faint smell of medicine.
Congyu Fuyu guarded the door vigilantly, remembering his master's instructions and not letting anyone get even half a step closer. Even a fly that occasionally flew by was pinched by Fuyu's quick eyes and hands.
