Qin Yaxin pouted and threw out a remark.
Ever since her family started eating coarse grains and pickled vegetables, her good sister-in-law has become even more extreme in her eating habits than before, when she would peck at food like a chicken: she wouldn't touch the coarse grain cakes or the pickled vegetables, and would only drink a small half bowl of porridge.
If we're talking about being spoiled, someone else is definitely more spoiled than her!
Song Lan didn't stoop to Qin Yaxin's level.
She stood up, patted the little guy sitting in the high chair next to her on the top of his head, met his gaze, and smiled, saying, "You're still young, eat slowly, it's good for your health."
Perhaps influenced by the soldiers in the army, she, who was once a noblewoman, unknowingly became unconventional.
Take meals, for example: to avoid surprise attacks by the Tartars, the speed of eating was like that of a battle, which was a training exercise.
But she was born into a high-class family, and etiquette was ingrained in her bones. Therefore, no matter how quickly she ate, her nobility and elegance remained.
As for the claim that coarse grains are difficult to swallow, that's simply not true!
In the army, when there was a shortage of military rations or even a complete lack of food, she and other soldiers would eat wild vegetables, grass roots, and even tree bark to stave off hunger.
Even if they didn't have to eat wild vegetables, grass roots, or tree bark, the soldiers' rations weren't very good either.
Rice like brown rice and sorghum rice sometimes comes with its husk intact.
Then there's the dark, fried noodles and the hard, dry biscuits, etc.
She can eat all of these and is used to them, so why would she be so picky as to find it hard to swallow this white rice porridge with pickled vegetables and coarse flour pancakes?
To be honest, Song Lan felt that the people in this world were very happy. Although resources were scarce, their lives were much better than those of the people in her world!
Everyone is equal, and men and women enjoy equal rights.
Whether it's going to school or going out to work, women have the same opportunities as men.
In terms of food, it is more abundant than that of the Great Xia Dynasty, and at the same time, they do not have to suffer from displacement.
Most importantly, in their eyes, some powerful and wealthy people regard ordinary people as worthless, and can take someone's life with just a casual word!
With a sigh, Song Lan was very grateful that she had worked with the border soldiers for seven years to finally pacify the entire grassland and bring it into the territory of the Great Xia. This would free the Great Xia from the threat of the Tartar cavalry and prevent the border people from suffering from the Tartars' burning, killing, and looting!
Back in her room, Song Lan first looked around, then found a small key in the dressing table drawer, and then squatted down to take out an old bamboo suitcase from under the bed.
With her lips slightly pursed, she hesitated for a moment before finally unlocking the suitcase and lifting its lid.
The first thing you see are two dark red carved wooden boxes and several old, yellowed medical books.
Below the medical book were three bound medical records.
Each book is about two fingers thick.
Song Lan picked up a book and flipped through it casually. Inside, she saw detailed records of pulse patterns for various difficult and complicated diseases, along with specific instructions on how to use the medicine and the dosage.
Setting down the bound medical records in her hand, she opened one of the two carved wooden boxes.
Ten gold ingots of the same size were neatly arranged inside.
Upon opening another carved wooden box, Song Lan saw a pair of exceptionally high-quality jade bracelets.
My feelings were complicated at that moment.
She closed the carved wooden box, put the suitcase lid down, locked it, and put it back under the bed. Song Lan got up and sat in front of the dressing table. Her gaze fell on the dressing mirror in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, then murmured, "So you look exactly like me."
Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her features were delicate, her eyes sparkled with a pair of peach blossoms, her nose was elegant and high, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her skin was fair and smooth like mutton fat jade.
Song Lan was all too familiar with this appearance. Although she rarely appeared at the various banquets held by ladies and young women in the capital, she was still known as the "Number One Beauty" in the capital.
Because of her outstanding appearance, when she volunteered to go to the border to fight, in order to intimidate the enemy and establish her authority in the army, she disguised herself as a man and wore a mask.
For seven years, a full seven years, she never took off the mask unless absolutely necessary.
Gathering her thoughts, Song Lan murmured again, "Don't worry, I'll keep everything in the box safe!"
The original owner's grandfather was an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he had only one son, the original owner's adoptive father. However, this son had no interest in learning Chinese medicine.
His children also had no interest in traditional Chinese medicine.
The original owner was an exception.
From a young age, she loved to stay close to her grandfather. From childhood to school, before her grandfather passed away, whenever she had time, she would be in the old man's small courtyard where he lived alone.
Grandfather Song never imagined that his only son would one day sever their father-son relationship.
This is both disappointing and disheartening.
So, before he closed his eyes, he secretly gathered his treasured medical books and bound medical records together, along with the valuables in the two carved wooden boxes, and handed them to the original owner's granddaughter.
After marrying into the Qin family, the original owner did not ask her adoptive parents for any subsidies. She left home carrying an old bamboo woven suitcase given to her by her grandfather and her own clothes for all four seasons.
Well, Song Lan was undoubtedly happy that her medical skills now had a source.
She dislikes trouble, but she's not afraid of it either. However, things that can be explained clearly are naturally better.
Time passed slowly, and after washing up, Song Lan lay down on the bed.
Suddenly, she recalled what had happened to her before she became conscious in this world.
The bamboo house, her residence in the Valley of Divine Healers. The moment she appeared in the bamboo house, was it her soul returning to the Valley of Divine Healers after death?
The moment Song Lan thought of the bamboo house and the Valley of Divine Doctors, she was no longer on the bed.
"Well……"
Why did they change locations? And... and this is her residence in the Valley of Divine Healers!
—A two-story bamboo house.
Song Lan twisted her waist hard, and the pain immediately shot through her. She was certain that this was not a dream.
She got out of bed, casually found a dress she had worn in the Valley of Divine Healers and put it on. Then, suppressing her emotions, she slowly walked out of the bamboo house.
Looking up, she saw her favorite medicinal herb field.
But the entire Divine Doctor Valley was unusually quiet. Song Lan was puzzled. She came downstairs from her apartment and looked at everything familiar in the Divine Doctor Valley, but she couldn't see a single person.
She walked through the Valley of the Divine Healer, calling out "Grandpa," then "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Junior Brother," but all she received in response was silence.
Where did everyone go?
Song Lan murmured, but in an instant she noticed that the Divine Doctor Valley, which was surrounded by mountains, could no longer see any mountains at all.
Because the Valley of Divine Healers is surrounded by thick white fog.
Approaching, I tried to pass through the white mist, but to my surprise, the mist seemed to be isolated by an invisible wall.
To prevent her from getting what she wanted!
What's going on?
Song Lan was puzzled, and she rubbed her chin.
The medicinal herb fields and valleys are thriving with flowers and plants, and the clear streams are so limpid that you can see the bottom, where fish can often be seen playing.
The lotus blossoms in the pond swayed gracefully, and the chickens, ducks, and geese raised by her senior brother were full of energy. In short, the Divine Doctor Valley was the Divine Doctor Valley she knew, except that her maternal grandfather and fellow disciples were missing, and the thick fog surrounding the Divine Doctor Valley was there.
