Chapter 437: Can a smart person marry you?
Just as he finished speaking, a childish voice rang out from the courtyard gate: "Brother, those are definitely not candy beans, they are poison-repelling pills. Grandpa said that one poison-repelling pill can last for ten days. If you sell it outside, you'll be scrambling for it."
Jin Congcong looked at the little girl at the door: "Bubu... Ruoer... are you back?"
Bu Ruo held onto the door of the courtyard and laughed non-stop: "Yes, I'm back. If we hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known that you ate Bu Bu's anti-poison pills as candy beans."
"Look at you. The Queen and Guo Lubi'er didn't understand medicine and just ate it as candy. But you've been studying with Grandpa Du for so many years, and you still can't tell whether it's a pill or candy? You didn't deserve the beating you received. You deserved it."
Jin Congcong hid behind Bu Ruo and stuck his head out, looking aggrieved: "Then...then I don't understand pharmacology, isn't it normal that I can't tell the difference?"
"You don't understand pharmacology? You're out there using my name and flaunting yourself as Dr. Jin. You... you... I'll beat you to death for not understanding pharmacology..."
The little girl stopped Doctor Du who was about to come over and continue beating people: "Grandpa, don't be angry. It's just a medicine stove and melon seeds. Bu Bu will fry the melon seeds for you to eat. After frying, return the medicine stove to Grandpa."
Doctor Du lovingly picked up the little girl, then looked at someone and said viciously, "Why don't you bring the medicine stove over here quickly? Don't you want to eat some melon seeds? You're such a grown-up, you're really greedy."
The little girl took the medicine stove and sat on the small stool. She glanced disdainfully at the pile of mushy melon seeds on the stone table and curled her lips: "Brother, let's just say... forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Please sit down."
"Mom is coming too. She also likes to eat melon seeds. Bubu will fry more this time."
Jin Congcong squatted beside the girl like a punching bag, watching her movements: "That's right, I fried it the same way, and all the steps were correct, so how come it turned out to be mushy?"
The girl patiently explained, "You have to control the heat. Put the melon seeds in when they're supposed to, then control the heat. Then add the herbs in the order and proportions. You have to master the timing and heat, otherwise it will have a medicinal taste and won't taste good."
Jin Congcong scratched his hair: "How do you control the heat?"
Doctor Du kicked him and said, "How do you control the heat? I asked you to ask how to control the heat... I asked you to ask how to control the heat..."
"When I was little, the first lesson I learned was identifying medicinal herbs, and the second was controlling the heat. Did all that little stuff I learned just go to waste? Did I just eat it all?"
Jin Congcong pouted: "As far as I remember, she used a fan, but Bubu didn't use a fan either. She didn't even blow with her mouth."
Little girl: ...
"No need to blow with your mouth at every step, use your divine power to control the temperature at every step."
Jin Congcong was stunned, then looked at his master: "Did you hear that? They use their divine power to control the heat. I don't have any divine power, so isn't it normal that the food gets burnt?"
"Normal bullshit!" Doctor Du said angrily, "Just because you have divine power, don't you have spiritual power? Even if you don't have spiritual power, don't you have eyes? Are you blind? Can't you see the size of the fire? How can you burn a melon seed when you fry it?"
Jin Congcong: ...
The little girl was frying melon seeds when she suddenly remembered what she was doing here. She took out her purse and poured out the small white stone.
"Here, Senior Brother, this is something good that Bubu gave you~"
When Jin Congcong heard there was a gift, he happily took the seemingly ordinary white stone, looked left and right, and even looked at it in the sunlight...
"This... isn't crystal. Could it be a gem?"
"It's not a crystal, nor a gem."
"Um...Bubu, you didn't pick up a stone from the palace to give to my brother, did you? But stones of this color are really rare."
"It's not a stone, but if you insist, you can call it a stone. After all, it was dug out from the ground."
Bu Ruo looked at Jin Congcong's confused expression and sighed: "This is the dragon vein of Beining. I dug it out specially for you before leaving the palace."
"Ruo... Ruo'er, what do you think this is? Dragon... Dragon vein? Is it the dragon vein I'm thinking of?"
Bu Ruo nodded: "Yes, it is the dragon vein you were thinking about. Bu Bu dug it out and gave it to you."
"Although the blessings of the Beining Dragon Vein are few and far between, it will still protect you for a while if you wear it. More than a month shouldn't be a problem."
"Here, this is a hundred taels of silver. Spend it all within half a month. I'm telling you, I'm giving this to you for Bu Bu's sake. Bu Bu said you were so poor that you almost cried."
Jin Congcong excitedly took the banknote and wanted to kowtow to the two of them: "I... I can finally touch silver again. It's been almost half a year since I touched more than five taels of silver."
"Bu Bu, you will be my brother's biological sister and biological daughter from now on."
Doctor Du looked at his useless appearance and snorted, "If you want Bubu to be your daughter, you have to ask the prince for his consent. With someone like you, you will never be able to give birth to a child as smart as Bubu in this lifetime."
Someone is not convinced.
"Then why don't I just marry someone smart?"
"Is it smart enough to marry you?"
"Why can't the smart one marry me?"
"Haha, she's already married to you, how smart can she be?"
Jin Congcong: ...
Doctor Du wins!
…
The next evening, before it got dark, Bu Ruo finished his meal early and prepared to take the little girl secretly into the palace.
I have to go to the palace, otherwise my waist will be broken.
"Princess, Princess, something's wrong. The secret guards said...that Divine Doctor Jin is missing."
Bu Ruo paused. "You said Jin Congcong is missing? Call the secret guards following him."
As soon as Bier left, Bu Ruo started to calculate with her hands. Guo Lu stood beside her holding Bu Bu with a worried look on her face.
Bu Ruo had just finished calculating when the secret guard arrived: "Tell me, what's going on."
The secret guard following Jin Congcong said guiltily: "Today, after breakfast, the young doctor Jin hurried out. After leaving, he went to see a play first, ordered a table full of cakes and gave tips."
"After dinner, I went to a clothing store and bought some clothes and shoes. At noon, I had lunch at the largest restaurant in the imperial city. The table was also packed. Before eating, I even gave half of the food to the waiter to give to the beggars at the door."
"After dinner, I found a teahouse to have tea, then went to a jewelry store to buy some jewelry and some cakes."
"Originally, Divine Doctor Jin was about to return, but when he heard from the people that a new circus troupe was setting up a stage in the south of the city, he left again."
"There were a lot of people in the south of the city, and I followed Doctor Jin closely without even blinking. But as I was trying to squeeze in, Doctor Jin seemed to have dropped something and bent down to pick it up. At that moment, for some reason, there was a commotion, and then I didn't see Doctor Jin anymore."
