Chapter 47
Many people came in and out of the pantry, and when they saw Xiangru's new face, they couldn't help but look at it curiously, and some people came over to talk to Xiangru and ask if Xiangru was the new apprentice who was under Doctor Xie today.
Xiangru still treats these people with a dog-legged attitude, with a flattering smile on her face, and her mouth is so sweet that she seems to have smeared honey, regardless of whether the other party is older than herself, she opens her eyes and calls her sister. The left sister and the right sister, people felt comfortable when they heard it, and when they saw Xiangru's low posture, no one deliberately embarrassed her, and left with a few friendly and polite words.
When Xiangru finally brought the boiling water back, the people in the house were ready, the teapot and teacups were removed, and five covered bowls of teacups were replaced, and the tea leaves were already placed in the tea bowls.
The gossip gossip Xiangru and Madder that the three doctors talked about couldn't interject, only listened, and by the way, they used these inner court gossip as side dishes to digest and eat the snacks in the stomach. This time the dim sum is better than the last time Mrs. Xie sent it, Dr. Xiao Xia said that it was given by the same concubine, since it is a concubine, the grade must not be low, and the chef must be good.
Of course, these gossips are not all light-hearted anecdotes, but also the tense battles for favor and power in the current **, Xiangru was dumbfounded when she heard it, and suddenly felt how mentally retarded the so-called court dramas she watched in her previous life compared with this real gun.
For example, today's concubine Niangniang, who gave Xiaoxia medicine snacks and tea, is now pregnant, although everything is safe now, but it is difficult to ensure that other mothers with uncompetitive bellies will not blush and do something secretly, after all, if this concubine Niangniang gives birth to a baby girl, it will be okay, if it is a baby boy, then ** will be lively again, who does not know that the death rate of boys in the palace is generally high.
Doctor Xie and Doctor Xia both reminded Xiao Xia to pay attention, just perform your own duties, be smart, pregnant mothers are the most likely to have accidents, if she is safe and everyone is fine, if she has a good consequence, it will be unpredictable, don't be calculated by someone with a heart to be a substitute for the dead.
Doctor Xiao Xia promised that she would be careful, but in fact, everyone knew that no one dared to take it lightly before this lady gave birth smoothly.
Xiangru's heart jumped suddenly, she bowed to the master this time, it is equivalent to standing outside the threshold of the palace fight, although there is no need to participate in person for the time being, but just watching a lively outside is thrilling enough, if she takes the Chinese medicine exam in the future, she will also live like this, I don't know if I have that IQ in the circle.
As a doctor, you must be firm in your neutrality and not get involved in any fight, otherwise if you stand on the wrong side, the winner will calculate the total account, not only will she be unlucky, but I am afraid that she will also implicate the innocent.
An afternoon passed in this kind of chatter, the tea had been bland and tasteless after three courses, Xiangru got up and carried the pot to boil water again, opened the door only to find that the time was nearly evening, everyone saw that the time was late, then the party ended, each went back to each room for a short rest, waiting for dinner.
Madder took Xiangru's kettle to boil water, and Xiangru went back to the house to pack her luggage and put her things away. Doctor Xie knocked on the door and came in, carrying a wooden box in her hand, and Xiangru hurriedly put it on the desk.
"This is a bookcase for you, which contains pen, ink, paper, inkstone, copybooks, and a thousand-character scripture. I think you had such a hard time when you were a child, and you must not have learned much literacy, so you can't learn with Madder, so start by practicing literacy. As she spoke, Doctor Xie opened the bookcase and took out the contents and set up a table.
Xiangru saw this set of brand-new pen, ink, paper and inkstone cordial and rusty, she was only in the compulsory education stage, during the winter and summer vacations, the head teacher assigned the holiday homework carefully written brush words, after going to high school and never touched again, a hand of brush words has long been rusty, I am afraid that now the pen is not stable.
Xiangru picked up a pile of rolled rough-edged paper and opened it, and laughed out loud, this pile of paper turned out to be a ready-made red book, just take the pen and fill in the word box, it is really a necessary tool for beginners to practice calligraphy, I really don't know where Doctor Xie got this thing.
"Master, do we still have this here? When I was at home, I only watched my younger brother practice, who was my stepmother's eldest son. ”
"This is from the outside, we don't have this here, or how to say that we have strict requirements for selecting apprentices, literacy and writing are the basic conditions. Don't look at the daughters of the doctors and pharmacists, but not all of them are at home and ask the husband to enlighten the Meng. ”
"I promise to study hard."
"Don't just say it, I'm strict. Rest for the night today, come to my room tomorrow after breakfast, and I will teach you to read, and you will study by yourself in the afternoon and evening. When we memorize all the three-character scriptures and thousand-character texts, we will officially begin to study medical science. ”
"Yes, I see." I am very confident in endorsing Xiangru.
Doctor Xie said a few more words before leaving, and Xiangru sent her out of the room, so she couldn't wait to rush back to the desk to study the ink and paper, planning to write it before dinner to see the level.
Dr. Xie thought that Xiangru was illiterate, but she didn't know that this Xiangru was not another Xiangru, and as early as the small labels she saw in the kitchen on the first day of reincarnation, she knew that she was not illiterate in this life.
She had long wondered if there was a slight deviation in the development of history, so she did not follow the historical trajectory she knew. But since the words are the same, the pronunciation is the same, and the meaning is the same, she doesn't care about that much.
Xiangru wrote carefully one stroke at a time, but when she wrote, she found that her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't control the pen, and no simple "and" was completely written in the frame.
Xiangru couldn't stand this bad word herself, dipped it in ink, and continued to practice, she didn't believe how difficult it was to practice a good character again with her original foundation.
When Madder knocked on the door to call for dinner, Xiangru had unconsciously written two large sheets, and wanted to block Madder from seeing it, but she didn't guard against Madder's sneak attack, grabbed one and ran away quickly and said that she wanted to show it to Doctor Xie, and when Xiangru chased upstairs and was a step late, the ugly big characters had been placed on Doctor Xie's desk.
Xie Yipo was very happy, and smiled at Xiangru may be really a genius.
Maybe Doctor Xie was just comforting or joking, but she gave Xiangru a wonderful inspiration.
Since Doctor Xie has already decided that she is talented, it is better for her to simply pretend to be a genius who is good at learning and absorbing new knowledge, skip the literacy barrier as soon as possible, and go straight to the topic, she really has no time to waste on literacy enlightenment.
I had dinner with Dr. Xie and Madder, and sent the tableware to the dining room in the backyard, and when I met Tiandong and Mai Dong, I was dragged away by Madder just after chatting a few words, "Why are you still standing?" You are now the apprentice of Xie Yipo, and your identity is not ordinary, so if you miss them, you should simply leave the master and go back. ”
Madder threw down the offending words and strode away, Xiangru hurriedly confessed to Erdong, hurriedly chased after him, and left the crowd of onlookers behind him whispering and discussing.
The two went back to the house to rest, Xiangru practiced calligraphy in the house, Madder read in the house, and when it was almost time, they went to knock on Xiangru's door, went to fetch hot water together, first fulfilled the apprentice's obligation to serve Dr. Xie to wash, prepared a pot of hot tea for her, today's affairs are completed, Madder and Xiangru retreat to wash their own.
Before going to bed, Xiangru also flipped through the two enlightenment books, memorized a short paragraph each, and then closed the book, stripped off and blew the lamp to sleep.
Get up in the morning to freshen up and have breakfast, today Mrs. Xie is not on duty, Xiangru and Madder took their books to Mrs. Xie for class. Madder read the book by herself in front of the desk, and Xie Yipo first taught Xiangru to read the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text.
Xiangru is like a babbling child, Doctor Xie reads a sentence Xiangru and then reads a sentence, each sentence will be explained to Xiangru, tell her what it means, after reading the content of a page several times, Doctor Xie asked her to take a break, she went to see the situation of Madder.
Last night's hard work before going to bed was for this moment, and when Doctor Xie returned to Xiangru's side, she recited what she had taught today smoothly.
Mrs. Xie was overjoyed, she didn't expect Xiangru's learning ability to be so strong at all, she tried to teach another page of the three-character scripture, and after a few times, Xiangru was able to take the book and read it by herself, and memorized it before noon.
According to the study plan that Xie Yipo said yesterday, the afternoon and evening are the time for Xiangru to review by herself. After lunch, Xiangru took a nap, then got up to practice calligraphy until Madder knocked on the door and told her to go for a snack.
Today's practice of words compared with yesterday has made great progress, the foundation is the foundation, sink down and write a few pieces of paper seriously, and the feeling will slowly come back.
After eating the dim sum, Xiangru continued to practice calligraphy, it was still Madder who came to knock on the door and asked her to have dinner, the activity pattern after the meal was the same as yesterday, and they stayed in the room after washing up and prepared to sleep.
When Mrs. Xie was on duty or was summoned, Xiangru and Madder studied in the room by themselves, and Senior Sister Madder acted as a little teacher to teach Xiangru to write, and Xiangru also went to Madder's books in the name of curiosity, originally to see how much content she was familiar with. The result made her feel very relieved, these medical theories are all classics that she is too familiar with, and the difficulty of studying in school in her previous life is comparable, but I don't know if this is the need to lay a foundation, or is the real medical woman course not as difficult as she imagined?
From the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the doctors began to take annual leave, but Xiangru and Madder did not have a holiday, and went to class every day. Xiangru behaved very seriously, and in just a few days, she memorized all the two enlightenment books, which made her deeply realize that geniuses are not so easy to pretend, and geniuses' achievements actually have to be exchanged for sweat.
The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and there are palace people in the women's medical hall who receive New Year's gifts sent to the palace by their families every day, with the most people from the capital, after all, the locals.
On the 29th, Yinhua on the gatehouse came to the third courtyard with a big burden, saying that it was sent by Doctor Xie's house, and under the guidance of others, Yinhua came to Doctor Xie's door.
Hearing Yinhua's voice, Xiangru ran out to greet her, and the two good sisters were overjoyed when they met for the first time since they separated, and Yinhua knew that Xiangru had been taken in by Doctor Xie's wife, and she was sincerely happy for her.
The two chatted for a while at the door, Yinhua handed over the things and returned to the gatehouse to announce the good news to Lilac, and Xiangru returned to the house to put the burden on the round table.
When I opened it, there were two small burdens inside, and then I opened these two small burdens, only to see that one was a variety of gold and silver heads and gold and silver things from my daughter's house, and the other was a variety of cosmetics from Peach Blossom Village. Mrs. Xie said that these are not valuable things, and they are given away during the Chinese New Year. can see the glitter of gold and silver in her eyes, Xiangru feels that Doctor Xie is really modest.
The inferior palace maids are the most pitiful group of people in the palace maid group, they are not allowed to wear heavy makeup and jewelry, and the last time Xie Yipo sent the Ji lipstick, the lipstick was pink within the rules, and the girls were afraid that the ear holes they had beaten since childhood would grow again, and they were all stuffed with tea stalks, waiting for the opportunity to wear earrings in the future.
Doctor Xie took a look at Xiangru and Lilac, called them to her, and picked out two pairs of silver cloves from the heads, a pair of ginkgo biloba-like and a pair of gourd-like Xiangru, and each gave a set of cosmetics including rouge gouache and oil balsam, and then asked Madder to go to the cabinet to take the box to sort these things.
"The girl is older, she should know how to dress up."
Xiangru and Madder thanked each other happily, and immediately ran to the mirror to try it on, looking left and right.
Doctor Xie put the things into the box while thinking, this one for the aunt put this box, and the one for the doctor put that box, and the one who sent the doctor to the doctor's wife put that box, and divided it very clearly, so as not to take the wrong one when you want to use it.
The three of them were busy sorting out these things, and the two Xia doctors came in, each carrying a bag in their hands, saying that they had just sent it from the two sisters' homes.
Xiangru and Madder hurriedly stepped forward to take over the burden.
The New Year's gift sent by Mrs. Xie's family spread out the entire round table, and the baggage brought by the two Xia Yipo had to be placed on the bed, and when they were opened, there were all kinds of small burdens, and then they were all kinds of small and pleasing gadgets, all of which were sent in by the family for the daughters to do favors.
There is a bag of embroidered silk handkerchiefs in Daxia, embroidered with different flowers, birds, insects and fish, Xiangru and Madder squatted in front of the bed and looked through them in one direction, and they were amazing. Seeing that the two of them liked it, the Great Xia Doctor was reluctant to let go, so she asked them to pick two pieces each and keep them for themselves, and take the rest to give away.
The two immediately pounced unceremoniously.
The iceberg beauty-like Xiao Xia saw that the two of them were interesting, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile slightly, and she picked two pairs of sterling silver hairpin flowers from her own things to send Xiangru and Madder. The hairpin flower is made very delicately, the three flowers gather together, each flower core stretches out a thin stamen, the hairpin is gently stirred with the walking stamens on the bun, delicate and smart.
Xiangru and Madder put on hairpin flowers, held beautiful handkerchiefs in their hands, and squeezed in front of the mirror to be proud.
A bunch of such good things are just used for favors, this Xie family and the Xia family are not ordinary, they are simply big families, right? It's a big family, right?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
