Chapter 655 Are we fools?
"Imperata root stops bleeding and vomiting, and stonewort relieves... " Jun Qin got stuck while reciting. She muttered for a long time but couldn't remember what came after that. She could only look at Xiao Tingwu for help.
"Shiwei clears the stranguria and small intestine." Xiao Tingwu helped her add the last sentence. Jun Qin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's it."
Jun Qin continued to recite, stumbling over and over for a long time. After finishing the last sentence, Jun Qin lay down on the bed and put the book on her face: "It's over, it's over. Tomorrow is the test. What if everyone can recite it, but I can't?"
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing then?"
Jun Qin climbed up with a look of despair on her face and said, "Ting Wu, tell me, why is the 'Ode to the Properties of Medicinal Materials' so difficult to memorize?"
She had clearly read it so many times and knew it by heart, but when it came time to recite it, she couldn't do it.
"I'm quite familiar with the four categories of medicinal properties: cold, hot, warm, and neutral!" Jun Qin looked at Xiao Tingwu with lifeless eyes and said, "Tingwu, what if..."
"It's okay, you've only been here for three days. You also couldn't recite it during our previous assessment." Xiao Tingwu said comfortingly.
"real?"
Jun Qin put the book aside and said happily, "So even though I stumbled through it, I still managed to memorize it, right? How many people couldn't memorize it?"
"One." Xiao Tingwu's answer made Jun Qin pick up the book she had just put down. As the dignified Princess Duoning of Nanyue, she couldn't be the last one, right?
How embarrassing would that be?
"Then, are you the one who recites the fastest?" Jun Qin asked.
"No." Xiao Tingwu shook his head. "Lu Yu, do you know who it is? Whether it's memorizing or identifying medicine, she has the best talent!"
Xiao Tingwu's eyes also ignited with a fierce fighting spirit. She said, "In the future, I must learn better and more thoroughly than Lu Yu!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Tingwu picked up the book and began to read it carefully.
Jun Qin wanted to ask something, but seeing how serious Xiao Tingwu was, she suddenly couldn't say anything. She could only bury her head in memorizing the lessons. She couldn't be the last princess!
We can't lose face for the royal family.
The next day, Jun Qin was dozing off while sitting in the classroom. Looking at the fifteen girls beside her, including Xiao Tingwu, they were all very serious and as if facing a great enemy. Suddenly, Jun Qin's sleepiness disappeared!
Jun Qin's mind was filled with only one thought: could she really be the last one?
"Today, we will take the test on reciting the Medicinal Properties Poem. Come one by one." After entering the classroom, Mr. Wang went straight to the point without any extra words and pointed to the students in the first row.
One by one, Jun Qin felt like she was facing a great enemy at first, but soon, when she heard those girls' pronunciation was not very standard and their speech was even more stuttering than hers, she glared at Xiao Tingwu who was standing beside her.
Xiao Tingwu looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose. If she hadn't said that, Jun Qin would probably have just been lying in bed yesterday and wouldn't even want to read!
Jun Qin slowly felt relieved, but when it was Lu Yu's turn, she found that Lu Yu not only recited fluently, but also without any stuttering. Her voice was pleasant and melodious. She was clearly reciting, but it sounded like she was singing.
The wind blew in from outside the window, and Lu Yu stood there tall and straight, like a blade of grass that could not be blown down!
Jun Qin silently glanced at Xiao Tingwu beside her. Coincidentally, Xiao Tingwu was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if they could see the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
When it was Xiao Tingwu's turn to carry the letter, Xiao Tingwu stood up.
Jun Qin gave her a thumbs up and looked at Xiao Tingwu with a firm and encouraging look.
"Of all the medicinal properties, this type is the coldest."
Xiao Tingwu recited all the way to the end without making a single mistake. It was so smooth that even she found it incredible. When she finished reciting, applause soon broke out!
"sharp!"
Jun Qin clapped the loudest and praised Xiao Tingwu from time to time.
Soon, it was Jun Qin's turn. After cramming yesterday, today after seeing how well Lu Yu recited and how smoothly Xiao Tingwu recited, Jun Qin only got stuck once and then finished reciting beautifully!
"call."
The moment she sat down and heard the applause from her classmates, Jun Qin couldn't help but smile. At least she didn't embarrass herself!
"Everyone is good at memorizing the medicinal properties, but just memorizing is not enough. You also have to be able to understand and use it."
Old Wang's hair was gray, but his voice was sonorous and powerful. His piercing eyes swept across the sixteen girls in front of him and said, "Everyone will go to the pharmacy to find out what medicines they need. At one quarter past noon, everyone will go to the back hill to plant the medicine."
"Mr. Wang, do we still need to grow medicinal herbs?" Jun Qin was shocked when he heard about growing medicinal herbs.
"It is also very important to teach you about medicine, starting from the seeds." Mr. Wang's teaching method is different from others, and he will not only teach what is in the textbooks.
Endorsement is a must, but Mr. Wang has never missed any other practice.
After lunch, Jun Qin went to plant herbs very excitedly. Mr. Wang explained every type of herb, from seeds to germination, to how it would grow in the later stages, and finally, how to prepare the herbs.
"Go back and remember what you learned today about Atractylodes macrocephala and Adenophora Root. I will check your recitation tomorrow." Mr. Wang's words stunned everyone!
Old Wang only explained it once, but Jun Qin didn't remember anything. She looked at Xiao Tingwu beside her and asked, "Tingwu, do you remember it?"
"I've memorized half of it." Xiao Tingwu looked at Lu Yu and her classmates beside her and said, "Sisters, let's all memorize a section, so we won't be afraid of forgetting it later!"
"If there is anything you don't remember, you can ask me." Lu Yu's words were cold, but with great confidence.
Jun Qin looked at her cold face and asked, "Lu Yu, you didn't remember everything, did you?"
"Yes." Lu Yu nodded.
"I don't believe it." Jun Qin said with a look of disbelief: "Old Wang just explained it once, and we were working while he explained it. How could you possibly remember it all?"
"Baizhu..."
Lu Yu did not refute, but directly recited everything that Wang Lao had just said, word for word. Jun Qin was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out: "You, your memory is too good, isn't it?"
"It's okay." Lu Yu's humble words made Jun Qin grit her teeth and say, "Lu Yu, if you are okay, then aren't we all fools?"
"I just have a good memory since I was a child." Lu Yuqing's face was cold, and she took a small hoe and started to plant Atractylodes macrocephala. Her cold look made Jun Qin dumbfounded. She said, "Can't you be humble?"
"Qinqin, I was being modest just now. It was you who said she treated us like fools." Xiao Tingwu pulled Junqin away and said, "Now you believe I wasn't lying to you, right? She has a really good memory."
"Having a good memory is useless. Chinese medicine is not only useful for having a good memory!" Jun Qin was not convinced. How could others remember it after listening to it only once?
Jun Qin buried his head in his work, silently memorizing the knowledge that Mr. Wang had taught him. If he couldn't remember something, he would ask Xiao Tingwu who was standing beside him. By piecing together the two of them, they were able to memorize all of Mr. Wang's words.
