When Li Jun heard that Baozhu was going to apply ointment to him, his heart suddenly raced and his ears turned red instantly.
However, he wouldn't refuse, "Then thank you, Sister Baozhu."
Tang Baozhu led the way, with Li Jun following behind, a silly smile on his face, unconsciously rubbing his bright red ears.
When you get to the living room, quickly put on a straight face and put away your smile.
"Brother Li, please sit here for a while, I'll go get the ointment."
Tang Baozhu went straight back to her room and took out the ointment that Physician Zhang had made for her from her spatial storage.
You see, at that time, I had a fellow member of the Imperial Physician group who was very generous. She asked him to make a lot of any useful plasters, and since she didn't have to worry about the expiration date, she made an exceptionally large amount.
Tang Baozhu only needed to pay some gold, and Physician Zhang was also planning to stockpile goods for his next life, but he didn't have enough money, so the two of them colluded, one providing the money and the other providing the medicinal materials, and they cooperated for decades.
After Tang Baozhu took out the ointment, she was about to apply it to Li Jun.
Li Jun was a little embarrassed. "How about I promise my sister will give me the ointment, and I'll do it myself?"
Tang Baozhu quickly dodged his hand, which was holding the ointment, and said, "You can't see the injury at all. Let me do it. After all, you got hurt while working for me."
Then he called out to Chunxue outside, "Chunxue, go to the kitchen and fetch some hot water."
"Coming right away."
Chunxue quickly went to the kitchen and brought over a basin of warm water. Tang Baozhu cleaned the injured area and then applied ointment.
"Baozhu, this ointment looks really good. It feels cool and refreshing as soon as I put it on, which is very comfortable. It's such a good product, why don't you keep it for yourself, Baozhu? Can't a grown man like me just put something on?"
When Li Jun felt the effects on his body, he immediately felt a pang of regret. It was such a waste that he had used up such a good ointment.
“It’s not a pity at all. Brother Li is no stranger to us. I’m happy to help.”
Moreover, she kept all these prescriptions when she was practicing medicine with Zhang Taiyi, just in case she ran out of them one day and, before she finished her endless journey of time travel, she could make these things herself.
There was a box in the space, filled with all sorts of recipes she had saved, as preparation for the future.
Li Jun was overjoyed when he heard Baozhu say that she wasn't an outsider. He figured if she wasn't an outsider, then she was an insider.
Even when he was extremely excited, his heart was practically pounding out of his chest, but he only slightly curled the corners of his mouth, making it impossible for anyone to tell how fast his heart was beating.
"Brother Li, it's so late. Why don't you have dinner here tonight? It'll be too late to go back and cook, saving you the trouble."
"Thank you very much, Baozi."
Li Jun was overjoyed to be able to spend more time with Baozhu and didn't want to refuse the opportunity at all, feeling that he had now infiltrated the inner circle.
Tang Baozhu said to Chunxue, who was packing her things, "Chunxue, go to the kitchen and tell Qingliu to cook more food."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Chunxue came to the kitchen and said directly to Qingliu, "Qingliu, Miss said to cook more food later, as the young master will be having dinner here."
"OK."
Chunxue stopped going out to plant her vegetables and instead helped Qingliu in the kitchen. Qingliu was in a dilemma; the rice had already been put in and was half-cooked, so she couldn't put in any more. She figured she could only fry a few pancakes, which should be enough, and she could just fry a few more if necessary.
"Brother Li, the food might take a while, so please sit here for a bit."
Li Jun couldn't sit still either. "Baozhu, I won't sit here. I'll go plant the vines first, and I'll come back to eat when the food is ready."
Tang Baozhu couldn't stop him; Li Jun went straight out of the courtyard, took a hoe and dug a hole by the wall, intending to plant vines.
Since he was going to work, I decided to leave him alone. I took out a candle from the bedroom, lit it, and placed it in the living room. It was getting dark, and I didn't want to go back to embroidering, lest I hurt my eyes. So I decided to go to my father's study to read.
Tang Baozhu first lit candles in the study, then browsed through the books on the bookshelf and found that most of them were about imperial examinations. She could take a look when she had nothing to do to pass the time, in case she needed them someday.
A small portion consists of travelogues that describe the local customs and culture of various places, as if they were firsthand experiences. These are likely records made by other students during their study abroad trips, which gives the readers a sense of being there.
She had already finished reading the Enlightenment 300,000 Books back in the first world, and could even recite it by heart.
It's because those sons are so smart that if I don't know how, I feel like I'll be outsmarted by the intelligence of a few-year-old.
Then I gradually memorized them. Later, I could recognize all the characters in the Four Books and Five Classics, but I couldn't memorize them fluently.
One reason is that I'm too lazy, and the other is that I find it too difficult. I especially admire those officials; each of them is like crossing a single-plank bridge amidst a thousand troops, and they have acquired exceptionally solid knowledge in order to serve the monarch in the imperial court.
After reading in the study for a while, I heard Qingliu calling me to eat. I put down the book, picked up the bookmark next to me and placed it where I had just seen it, and then left the study.
Li Jun hadn't arrived in the living room yet; he was probably still working. I quickly went outside to call him in for dinner.
"Brother Li, hurry up and eat. You've had a long day. We can finish the rest tomorrow."
Li Jun knew that he couldn't finish everything today, since the yard was quite large, and he would probably have to work another day tomorrow to finish planting everything.
However, he was quite happy to work for Baozhu. Before, he only knew that he had a fiancée, but he hadn't spent much time with her. Now, after spending these two days together, he felt that his fiancée was becoming more and more important to him.
In the past, Baozhu was spoiled by her scholar grandfather. In the future, he will also be like her scholar grandfather, letting Baozhu live a carefree and worry-free life.
"Baozhu, I'll be right there. You go and eat first."
When the two of them eat in the living room, they don't have the habit of being completely silent; they will chat sometimes.
Li Jun was particularly nervous because it was his first time having dinner with Baozhu.
Of course, the time we ate wontons in the county town doesn't count; there were many people around that time. This time, it was just the two of us eating alone, and the feeling was completely different.
Tang Baozhu knew he was nervous, so she talked about lighthearted topics to ease his tension. As for herself, she wasn't nervous at all; after all, she was an experienced woman.
