e, but where could she even begin to lookEveryone is struggling to survive, who cares about a crazy woman!Without saying anything about the Guo family, let's just say that the villagers of Qing Shui h...Li Laotai was alright. In her heart, her granddaughter was like a little fairy, capable of anything. So helping the Marquis manage his household wasn't much of a deal.

Wenjuan was completely surprised.

How old is your younger sister-in-law How can the Marquis rest assured Isn't he afraid that the Marquisate will be thrown into chaos

But she wouldn't dare say that.

After some idle chatter, the lord was going to see Zhang Shenyi, and Jia Yin naturally had to follow.

After a day of running around, the Marquis was afraid that the young lady would be tired, so he squatted down and carried her on his back, then walked towards the back of the village.

I don't know what the Lord said, Jia Yin giggled incessantly, kicking her little legs, scattering laughter throughout the courtyard...

Village north's small earthen house, since it became Zhang Shenyi's "base," has become strictly off-limits to ordinary people.

No, even stray cats and dogs, not to mention flies and mosquitoes, wouldn't come near.

After all, the strong smell of medicine in the courtyard could make them dizzy at any time. If one were to accidentally fall, they'd be trampled flat.

The coarse linen clothes on Master Zhang's body were originally gray, but they had been stained with so much medicinal juice that their true color was no longer visible.

His hair was tousled and his beard was tangled, he hadn't slept well in days, his eyes were dark circles under his eyes like a panda bear, and his eyelids almost drooped to his chest.

At this moment, he was squatting at the entrance of the rabbit cage, tugging at his hair and muttering incessantly.

"What's going on, it should be working already, why isn't it"

"It's been three days! It should have gone down by now, but it's worse than just regular wound medicine, damn it!"

Hearing the door to his room being pushed open, he glared with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Didn't I say no one is allowed in Get out!"

He was halfway through his sentence when he realized it was the Marquis and Jia Yin who had entered. He immediately changed his tune, unwillingly saying, "How did you two come here I'm busy right now and don't have time to see you!"

The Lord had known him for many years and knew his temperament well. He wouldn't hold it against him, saying, "What kind of medicine is still being pondered Besides seeing patients, can't you come to see me when you have nothing to do"

Jia Yin also jumped off the Marquis's back and, with a mischievous smile, pulled at the divine doctor's sleeve. "Master Zhang, my adoptive father bought roast chicken in town. Come to our house for dinner tonight"

Dr. Zhang wanted to tousle the little girl's hair, but then he remembered he had just petted a rabbit, so he hurried off to wash his hands, casually telling the Lord, "You can sit wherever you like."

The Lord Estate drew Jia Yin to sit under the eaves on the west side of the house.

Here is the upwind direction, you can't smell the scent of medicine and animal droppings all over the yard.

Jia Yin saw Zhang Shenyi wash his hands and then change his clothes. She couldn't help but feel curious.

You know, this old man is extremely arbitrary towards everyone, but he's different with the Marquis. And this difference isn't just because of the Marquis' noble status.

She whispered, "Uncle, how did you meet Grandpa Zhang"

The Lord's expression faltered for a moment, but instantly returned to normal.

Jia Yin immediately felt that this was not a question she should ask. She wanted to take it back, but the Marquis spoke first.

My parents and relatives all died from the epidemic. At that time, Doctor Zhang was one of the physicians in charge of treating the patients.

"I wasn't much older than you back then. I asked him if he could heal our parents, and to appease me, he agreed. The result...

"

Perhaps he felt guilty in his heart. All these years, while traveling abroad and improving his medical skills, he never forgot to visit Kyoto often.

"Later, I accidentally caught a cold, and it was he who helped me treat it. Without Dr. Zhang, I'm afraid I would have died long ago, and wouldn't have had the chance to stay at your place."

Jia Yin's heart felt heavy upon hearing this.

Although my stepfather spoke of these things with a smile, one can only imagine the terror a child must feel when suddenly orphaned. How much suffering this has caused over the years, we can only guess.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only hug her godfather's arm and pat his shoulder.

"In the future, Fu Niuer will definitely be good to Grandpa Zhang. Without Grandpa Zhang, Fu Niuer wouldn't have a godfather."

The Great Physician Zhang just came out of the room and, hearing this, glared at her, laughing and scolding, “You heartless little girl! I’m your master, you should be filial to me, yet you’re acting this way because of the Lord Marquis!”

Jia Yin stuck out her tongue and quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa Zhang, how about I make you another plate of fried small fish later They're the best to eat with alcohol!"

"Hmph, that little girl only knows how to flatter!" Zhang Shenyi tapped her forehead from afar and then looked at the rabbit in the cage, frowning again.

The Lord saw him like this and said, "Funiu, go pour a bowl of water for your godfather."

Jia Yin guessed they had something to say, so she got up and ran into the kitchen.

Unfortunately, there was no boiling hot water here at Zhang Shenyi's place. Jia Yin could only scoop half a bowl from the water tank.

She waited for a while longer before bringing it out.

Resulting in, as soon as they arrived under the eaves, Zhang Shenyi immediately rushed over. This old man had completely shed his previous frown and worry, with a smile so wide it seemed his face would burst into bloom.

He took the water bowl and splashed it to the side, exclaiming, "Oh dear, oh dear! Our Fu Niu is a county princess, how can she do chores Come sit down, come sit down quickly!"

Jia Yin blinked her eyes twice, looking at the smiling godfather, not understanding what kind of magic he used to make Dr. Zhang change his personality.

You have to know, last time she helped grind the medicine powder, her palms got blisters. This old geezer didn't say a single extra word!

Is the title "county princess" something that can be used or not, does it depend on the time period

The Lord was amused by the bewildered expression on Fatty's face and winked at her twice quickly.

Jia Yin understood the meaning of the situation, sat down, and began to lay out her terms.

“Grandpa Zhang, I’ve memorized that medical book. Can I start learning how to make medicine now I’m just beginning, so I don’t need any particularly complex formulas. Just a hemostatic and an antidote would be enough. My second uncle sent back quite a lot of herbs. I want to give it a try.”

"Good!" Zhang Shenyi agreed immediately, and even went to find paper and pen to write a prescription, handing it directly to Jia Yin. He then asked, "What else do you want to learn Just tell me."

Jia Yin shook her head, "No need, Grandpa Zhang, these two are enough for me to ponder over."

The lord also said, “In a few days, we'll start construction on a new courtyard here. Fu Niuer will bring the medicinal herbs over, and she can work with Zhang Divine Physician together. He can also provide instruction on the spot.”

"Okay, we'll all listen to Godfather," Jia Yin smiled sweetly.

The Lord stood up to take his leave, and Zhang Shenyi ran off to get a medical book. He wouldn't take no for an answer and shoved it into Jia Yin's hands, saying, "Take this book home and memorize it. I want to turn you into my disciple within half a year!"

Six months

Jia Yin grinned, "Learning medicine isn't about just eating and sleeping, it's not that easy!"

But her stepfather didn't speak, and she pretended not to understand, vaguely agreeing.

Just as they finally left the small cottage, Jia Yin immediately asked.

The Lord then said, “I told Master Zhang that when he teaches you his skills, I will tell him...who was the one who cured my cough in the first place!”

Jia Yin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Rest assured, Godfather, you don't have to worry about this. In the future, I will let Zhang Ye know who that great person is!"

The Lord smiled and instructed, “Dr. Zhang is a man of his word and has no desire for personal gain; he can be trusted. Of course, at any time, the most trustworthy person is yourself, you know”

"Understood, godfather!" Jiayin replied crisply. Big and small held hands and went happily home.

As the marquis said, indeed.

The next morning, as Li Jia Gang was having breakfast, Zhang Shenyi arrived and inquired about how Jia Yin was progressing with memorizing the medical texts. He also mentioned that he would take her to the village today to feel the pulses of the villagers, so she could get familiar with it as soon as possible...

Jiayin hadn't even eaten a few bites of food when Zhang Shenyi pulled her away, her two braids flying in the wind. Someone looking on might have thought he was kidnapping her child...

For days on end, it continued like this, even Li Laotai felt sorry for her granddaughter.

Then, that day after lunch, Jia Yin went for a nap, and the courtyard gate was pushed open again.

Li Laotai thought Zhang Shenyi had arrived, and immediately rushed out, wanting to tell her granddaughter about it and let her sleep a while longer.

As a result, Li Lao Si and his group came from outside the courtyard, followed by a young wife carrying a bundle...

Here are three more chapters.。Perhaps seeing Jia Yin was just a one or two-year-old child, Mrs. Cui didn't seem to have any particular reaction. Guo Qing didn't pay much attention and continued to comfort Mr. Guo, urging him to g...
