Chapter 220: The fragrance of flowers in the open air
Cui Si really didn’t understand what she had done to anger God and man that her marriages in both lives had bad endings.
She and Yan Xingchuan became a couple of grudges, wishing they would never see each other again in this life. As for Jiang Cinian, they had no choice but to separate. They were not destined to be together, and it would even be difficult for them to see each other again in the future.
The God of this world definitely has a grudge against her and probably can't bear to see her do well.
Perhaps Yan Xingchuan is Xiu'er's destined son. She should be a good Yin Lihua, fulfill his ambition and satisfy his conscience, so that her life will be complete.
Cui Si bit her cheek and took two deep breaths.
"God has no eyes."
The more Cui Si thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but curse Yan Xingchuan and God several times in her heart.
Yanzhi and Songlu stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.
"Put these books in the study. I want to read them."
She had been feeling unmotivated these days, but now these medical books had arrived just in time. She would study them carefully to see if she had any talent. If she did, it seemed that there would be many interesting things to learn.
Or it can be used to prepare medicinal materials, such as making ointments, perfumes, or some medicines.
Yanzhi and Songlu helped to carefully place the medical books on the bookshelf. Cui Si first took out the book on making ointments and perfumes. This was the most interesting one, and she planned to read it first.
"Yanzhi, these are medical books. You can read them if you want, but you cannot take them out of Qingwu Courtyard, and you cannot damage them."
Yanzhi was eager to learn and had already eagerly read these medical books for several times. Hearing this, she was overjoyed: "Madam, are you really going to show me?"
"Of course it's true. Once you learn it well, you can be my helper. But don't touch the pine green. It's a treasure. If it's damaged, it will be a huge loss."
The books left behind by the two great doctors are the only copies of medical books of the level of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Thousand Golden Prescriptions". Each of them can be passed down for hundreds of years and have great merits.
"Let's study it ourselves first, and ask Ah Hao to come over. When I have some free time, I'll copy it and put it in the academy when I have the chance. Who knows, maybe we can open a medical academy in the future."
Perhaps these medical books were really attractive to her, and she quickly put aside Yan Xingchuan and Jiang Cinian, and started reading the half-written book on ointments and perfumes.
When she looked up, she saw that it was dark. The lights in the house were on, and Song Lu called her three times for dinner.
"If you don't eat again, I will go and complain to the old lady, and then the old lady will come to you personally."
During these days in Pingzhou City, Cui Si was in a bad mood and didn't like to eat. Old Lady Xu took personal action to keep a close eye on her, and only then did she get better.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it right away. Stop looking so sullen." Cui Si put the book down with a smile and stood up. "Have someone bring it over. I'll give it a title and then I'll come and eat it."
Cui Si got up and went to the desk to grind ink. The room was warm, but the water was cold. Cui Si used some warm water to grind the ink, then picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote four words on the cover of the book:
Flowers in the open air
"Flower-Dew-Heaven-Fragrant?" Song Lu arranged for someone to deliver dinner. When he came back, he saw her write these words and then read them out word by word.
Cui Si tilted her head and smiled at her: "You actually recognized him?"
This made her sound as stupid as a pig. Song Lu immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Madam, I have read books. Although I am not proficient in them, I can recognize common characters."
Although she didn't like reading, she had to be able to be Cui Liuniang's personal maid, so she had to know how to read. As long as the characters were not too obscure, she could recognize them.
Cui Si smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. Our Song Lu knows a lot more words."
"Of course." Song Lu was very proud. Not everyone had the opportunity to study these days. She was also very lucky to have been with her master since she was a child, so she had the opportunity to read and learn to write.
Selling herself into slavery was unbearable, but she was also very lucky in the midst of misfortune. She had enough food and clothing and was not affected by the war. This was a life that countless people in the world could not ask for.
Of course, she can have such a life because her master treats her well.
Cui Si put down her pen, left the book on the desk to dry the ink, and went to the flower hall to have dinner.
Yanzhi first poured her half a bowl of red date porridge and said, "The winter bamboo shoots sent by the farm are excellent. Today, I put them in the kitchen to stew pork with the bamboo shoots, steamed half a chicken, scrambled some bean sprouts, and made some fish balls and lotus seed soup."
"I thought the blood swallows in the storeroom were good, so I asked someone to stew some for you, and you can have some later."
"Blood swallow? Where did the blood swallow come from?"
"Previously...previously, the King of Northern Yan had someone send these as a dowry for my wife."
Cui Si had just washed her hands and sat down. She paused holding the spoon and said, "Come to think of it, after all this trouble, I didn't get married, but I received quite a few gifts."
Not to mention other trivial things, the things sent by Yan Xingchuan alone were quite a lot. She did not take back the Jiang family's betrothal gifts, and even left all their family assets to her.
"You said, if I were more shameless, without any sense of shame, and took it for granted, how great it would be."
This person really lives a shameless life. She will check her things later. She will keep those that can be sealed and those that cannot be kept will be used first. If they meet again in the future, she will return all of them except the box of medical books.
As for the medical book, she considered it as Baili Boqin's apology to her.
Yanzhi nodded: "Then my lady should be thick-skinned and ignore all this."
"There's nothing I can do about it now." The Jiang family's master and disciple had gone somewhere unknown. She couldn't get rid of Yan Xingchuan, that idiot, and she was really tired of him. She didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she might as well just break the jar. At least, it was fine as long as she didn't suffer any loss.
"See how many blood swallows are left and give some to Grandma. She's been so tired for so long, so let her have some to replenish herself. Oh, and I remember Aunt Yan gave me a lot of snow clams. Send some over there too."
"Go talk to Ah Hao tomorrow and ask her to come and look at the medical book when she's free."
"yes."
Cui Si was very excited to get so many medical books at once. She was in good spirits. After dinner, she changed to read another book, which was about the preparation of medicinal materials.
When she read, it was almost midnight. She was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, so she put down the book and went to rest.
She lay down and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Even when she finally fell asleep, her dreams were filled with medical books. When she woke up the next day, her head was groggy. She opened her eyes and saw an old doctor from the clan taking her pulse.
Cui Si: "?!"
Seeing that she had woken up, Song Lu quickly said, "My lady is awake. Don't move. Let the doctor take a good look."
