Ji Haitang
"Miss Qin is here!"
Li Hetai came in with a happy look on his face. He had been with King Xuan for some years and was not someone who didn't know the rules.
Today, I rushed in rashly because of the urgent situation.
Seeing Ji Haitang in the room, Li Hetai was stunned and bowed hurriedly: "Greetings, Princess."
Ji Haitang was not angry. She said calmly, "No need to be polite."
On the day when Prince Xuan's wound was sutured, Qin Nian told Li Hetai to remove the stitches after seven days and taught him how to do it.
Li Hetai has never done this and has never even heard of it.
He didn't want to do it at first. He just wanted to change the bandages every day and let Qin Nian come again when it was time to remove the stitches.
King Xuan is a prince, and no mistakes are allowed.
But Li Hetai also understood that every time Qin Nian came, there would be more danger.
Once those who were shot and wounded by King Xuan discovered that they could not do anything to King Xuan, but it would be easier to deal with Qin Nian and his grandson than to crush an ant.
Qin Nian repeatedly emphasized that removing the stitches was very easy and not a difficult task, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seven days later, he followed Qin Nian's instructions and helped King Xuan remove the stitches. When he removed the first stitch, his whole body was shaking, as if he had malaria.
After the second injection, I felt much better, like after malaria stabilized.
After dismantling everything, he was so happy that he even felt a sense of accomplishment.
It feels so good.
King Xuan's wound has healed, and except for a winding scar, Jian Shou is perfect.
It was not difficult for him to remove the scar, it could even be considered easy. Just keep applying his ointment and it would be done in three to five months at most.
Li Hetai was extremely envious and wanted to learn the medical skills of wound suture from Qin Nian.
He could never have imagined that ordinary external injuries were easy to suture, but complex wounds had to be sutured in layers, with different threads used inside and outside, which was not available in this dynasty.
How can such a complex technology be learned in a short time?
Just now he heard from the maid that Miss Qin was here. He was so happy that he rushed in immediately.
Ji Haitang was in the room. Li Hetai felt very restrained. He stared at Qin Nian blankly. He didn't remember any of the questions he wanted to ask. He forgot everything.
Qin Nian knew in his heart that in this dynasty with strict rules, Li Hetai felt extremely uncomfortable in front of Princess Xuan.
She smiled and greeted Li Hetai.
Qin Nian looked at Mo Xuan: "Don't worry, King Xuan, the wound is healing well. Doctor Li should be able to treat this scar.
I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."
"Wait a moment."
Mo Xuan hurriedly spoke out to stop her: "Miss Qin, you can tell me the story of Guan Gong. I like it very much."
Qin Nian shook his head: "I'm building a house at home, waiting for me to buy groceries and come back to make lunch. I really don't have time today, let's do it another day."
She refused! A country girl refused the request of the Xuan King? The reason was to buy groceries and cook lunch?
Ji Haitang was stunned.
What made her even more stunned was that the always moody Prince Xuan actually nodded, his voice low and soft:
"Miss Qin, don't forget your promise today."
"I won't forget it. When I have time, I will tell King Xuan about Guan Gong.
He also has brothers with different surnames, who became sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and their friendship lasted a lifetime."
After saying this, Qin Nian saluted King Xuan, smiled at Ji Haitang, then turned and left.
King Xuan hurriedly ordered Mo Yue: "Use a carriage to send Miss Qin to the market."
Ji Haitang looked at King Xuan. King Xuan smiled and turned his head away from the direction Qin Nian left.
He seemed a little reluctant and nostalgic. Ji Haitang's heart beat twice for no reason, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty."
A voice as soft as brocade sounded beside Ji Haitang: "The bird's nest is getting cold. It was made by the princess herself. Would the prince like to drink one?"
It was Princess Xuan’s maid, Zi Fu.
"I'm not hungry, take it."
After Prince Xuan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Ji Haitang was still in the room: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Go back and rest.
You don’t need to do these things in the future. Just tell the kitchen what you want to eat.”
Ji Haitang said gently: "I'll take my leave."
After saying this, he took Zi Fu away.
The carriage stopped in front of the vegetable market and Qin Nian got off carrying a bamboo basket.
Mo Yue pondered for a moment, and finally spoke out his thoughts:
"Miss Qin, I have delayed you for a long time. How about I wait for you here? After you buy the vegetables, I will take you back to the village in a carriage."
"No, I can buy vegetables quickly and go back home soon. Dawa Village is not far away."
After saying that, Qin Nian waved to him and walked quickly into the market. She was upright and walked briskly, like a free little butterfly.
Mo Yue was a little envious of the young and handsome hunter in Dawa Village.
"His ancestors must have been virtuous, so he can be engaged to such a good girl."
The driver standing by the shaft didn't hear clearly and asked hurriedly: "What did you say?"
Mo Yue smiled bitterly: "I said go back."
When Qin Nian returned to Dawa Village, it was already past the hour of Si.
The steamed buns with leaf plum do not contain vegetable oil but lard. They are white when steamed, like white gardenia flowers.
I cut the potatoes and radishes into strips and made a soup.
Qin Nian took out a large cabbage, washed it, cut it into thin strips, added sugar, aged vinegar, minced garlic, and chili oil, and mixed it into a large plate of cold dishes.
The dining table was placed in the shade in front of the warehouse. The family sat around the table and had a delicious lunch.
After the meal, several people did not rest but started to clean out Geng Feng’s things. They even ransacked his house in the afternoon.
In a corner of Ye Meizi's warehouse, there were three large wooden barrels placed side by side, containing Qin Nian's rice and flour and the vegetables she had just bought.
The barrels were covered with sacks and other sundries. Between the two barrels and the door, a simple bed was built with wooden planks.
For Qin Nian, Li Pozi and Ye Meizi to live in.
The two brothers Geng Zhenhai and Geng Feng planned to spread out some blue bricks outside the yard at night, and then they would put their bedding on the bricks and sleep under the starry sky.
After moving the things, the three men began to tear open the house.
The three women set up the dining table in the empty new house built by Qin Nian's family.
Qin Nian mixed a few bowls of white flour and started to chop the meat.
Ye Meizi blanched the cabbage, chopped it up, squeezed it dry, then chopped the green onion and minced ginger, and mixed it into a bowl of dumpling stuffing.
After the dough was ready, the three of them started making dumplings. Qin Nian rolled out the dumpling wrappers very quickly, so that Ye Meizi and Li Pozi could make the dumplings and pinch the dough into small pieces.
Ye Meizi smiled: "Auntie Li, our Xiao Nian works really fast."
Mrs. Li looked very proud: "Xiao Nian looks like me."
After a pause, Mrs. Li added, “However, Xiao Nian didn’t work so fast before.
She seems to have become more shaky this year.”
The core has been changed, can it be the same as before?
Mrs. Li sighed and said, "She has been starving these past few years, it's strange that she has the energy to work.
Now I can finally have a full meal, it’s great.”
