What's it like to stand at the top of the food chain overnight? Even if... this food chain is poor and pitiful. Even if... you become a scourge that everyone avoids. Even if... there are all so...
In particular, she herself is a farmer.
After careful consideration, Jiang Nuan nodded in agreement, "It's really good!"
“Mother,” Xie Shi said, immediately narrowing her eyes and seizing the opportunity, “Could you please put one on the chair for your daughter-in-law? It will definitely be comfortable to sit on it.”
“You do have an idea,” Jiang Nuan chuckled, and couldn’t help but tap her head. “Go find someone to make one of those chairs with a box inside, and I’ll help you set up the formation.”
"Thank you, Mother!" Xie rushed over happily, burying her head in Jiang Nuan's chest. "I knew Mother was the best!"
"Stop acting cute!"
Despite saying that, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
After figuring out the purpose of the formation, Jiang Nuan calmed down and, after agreeing to her daughter-in-law's request, began to study it again.
After working all night, I was finally confident in expanding the formation, and I vaguely understood some of the problems I had encountered before.
The essence of this formation lies in its offensive capabilities, primarily targeting and punishing enemies. The various complementary energies converge to form a sharp, metallic aura.
Originally, according to the book, every step she took should have amplified the attack, but now, the opposite is true.
Sure enough, the road ahead was long and arduous; she had underestimated the complexity of the formation!
Upon realizing this, she felt a moment of frustration, but then became excited.
The harder and more difficult a bone is to chew, the stronger it is.
The same applies to formations. If we can create a massage formation today, we might be able to create a flying formation tomorrow. They can be fully integrated into all aspects of life.
Of course, Jiang Nuan also knew that this was just a distant dream, and that the most urgent task was to have the means to protect herself.
However, having such a carrot dangling from one's head prevents one from losing oneself in the tedious and tedious process of studying.
After figuring these things out, the enthusiasm that was about to dissipate was rekindled.
On the other side, after separating from her mother-in-law, Ms. Xie immediately looked for someone to make a chair.
"Second Young Madam, time is too tight. We only have willow wood, not rosewood. Is that alright?"
“Sure, a bamboo chair will do. We can make it into a rocking chair and add a box on the back.”
"Okay, how many do you want?"
"Make five first, and I'll let you know if there's any more demand."
"Okay, I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow."
"Send over the finished ones first," Madam Xie frowned. "No need to rush, don't force yourselves, just take your time."
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam."
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
With a wave of his hand, Madam Xie left unhurriedly.
After she left, the servants started gossiping.
"We really got lucky to get here."
"That's right, life is leisurely, and the host family is kind and never makes things difficult for anyone."
“I was reluctant to come here at first, afraid that it wouldn’t be as comfortable as the Imperial Estate. Now, I wouldn’t go back even if you asked me to.”
"Of course! If we work hard for a few years and then get married, our lives will be worthwhile."
“I’m not like you guys. I have a wife who’s still in the capital. My child is almost three years old. In a few years, I’ll ask for a favor and bring them back. That’ll be my life.”
"Do your job well, or you'll be sent back and lose everything."
"clear!"
Xie, who hadn't gone far, couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips upon hearing these words.
This home is getting bigger and better.
He shook his head and walked to the children's yard.
Because Wang Shi was no longer around, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to take care of them, she arranged for all the children to live in one courtyard.
There are usually four maids looking after him, and he comes over whenever he has free time, so nothing bad has happened.
"The Four Gentlemen Decoction is harmonious and righteous, with ginseng, atractylodes, poria, and licorice in proportion;"
Yi Yi Xia Chen Ming Liu Jun, a medicine for relieving phlegm, replenishing qi and yang deficiency;
"Removing Pinellia ternata is called 'Differentiated Function,' or adding Amomum villosum is used to treat stomach cold."
A childish but earnest voice came from inside the courtyard, causing Xie to pause in her tracks, "The Soup Recipe?"
"Great job!" Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed into slits as he heard the kids recite it word for word. "They're all good kids, very well-behaved."
"Auntie, can we go out with you?" Erniu looked at Xiaowu with longing in his eyes.
Although Da Niu didn't speak directly, his little fists were clenched tightly.
“Of course,” Xiao Wu coughed lightly and puffed out his chest. “Auntie has grown up and can protect you and take you out to play. Just tell Auntie where you want to go.”
These bold and unrestrained words made Yuzhu, who was standing to the side, very anxious. "Little Martial Aunt, Master will be angry if he finds out that you secretly ran away."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu turned his head innocently and said, "I have memorized all the prescriptions, I know all the acupoints, and I can even dispense medicine. I can go down the mountain to practice medicine and save lives."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuzhu looked up at the sky speechlessly.
If a young girl who has only been studying medicine for two months can cure diseases and save lives, where does that leave someone like him who has been listening to traditional Chinese medicine formulas since he was in the womb?
"Stop fooling around, Master will really get angry!"
“But,” Xiao Wu blinked her eyes, looking aggrieved, “it was Master who said it.”
That was just to fool you!
Liu Yuzhu inwardly blamed her master for being unreliable, and couldn't help but put on a stern face, "No, you're not allowed to go out!"
Seeing this, Da Niu rushed to Xiao Wu and said, "Brother Yu Zhu, you are not allowed to bully my aunt."
“Yes!” The remaining kids also stood in front of Xiao Wu.
“No, you’re not allowed to bully me…” Er Ya in Da Niu’s arms also called out along with her older brother and sister.
Liu Yuzhu: How did I bully your aunt?
"Be good, all of you," Liu Yuzhu quickly softened her voice when she saw the little boys' tendency to cry if they didn't agree. "Brother will tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a temple, and in the temple lived a little monk..."
"Yuzhu," Xiao Wu said angrily, "we're going out!"
They always use this story to fool people; it's so mean.
"How about some rice cake?" The voice was full of temptation. "Sweet rice cake, fragrant and soft, with crushed peanuts inside."
After saying that, he glanced at Erniu, who was drooling, and couldn't help but smile. "As long as you don't go out, I'll have the kitchen make it for you right away."
"Auntie, have some cake!" Daya wiped her drool and begged in her childish voice.
"Outside there are not only cakes, but also twisted dough sticks, candied hawthorns, candied fruit, and fried dough sticks. My dear girl, Auntie will take you outside to eat something even better."
After saying that, he glared at Liu Yuzhu, clearly very angry.
My junior apprentice is so mean. All he does is boss me around, making me memorize texts, organize medicinal herbs, and even give me needles that hurt so much...
"Auntie," Erniu's voice was urgent, "Quick, let's go."
Hearing these words, he couldn't wait any longer.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get my purse; there's silver in it." After saying that, Xiao Wu ran to the side room to get the purse.
Seeing this, Xie stepped out of the shadows.
Upon seeing her, the boys' expressions immediately changed.
"Second Aunt," Da Niu was the first to react, his face slightly flushed, "Why did you come here?"
After saying that, my heart involuntarily jumped up, afraid that Xie would be angry.
"Want to go out?"
No, I don't want to.
"Brother, I want to!"
"Shut up, you don't want to."
"Brother is bad!"
Erniu angrily turned his head away and ignored Daniu.
