Chapter 34

The next day, Xiangru got up, combed her hair back into a girl's bun, and then went to serve Aunt Rong to get up in the morning, everything was dressed, Aunt Rong came to the main seat of the hall and sat down, Xiangru kowtowed three times in front of her. Later, I brought breakfast again, carefully served Aunt Rong to eat, and cleaned it up again, before saying goodbye for the last time.

Xiangru returned to the kitchen, and everyone knew that she was about to leave, so they gathered around to say goodbye to her.

After breakfast, she put down the bowl and Xiangru went back to the house to wait for the person who came to pick her up.

At the first moment, a palace man in his twenties came, claiming to be called Poria Cocos, who was in charge of the bits and pieces on the pharmacy, and was also Xiangru's top boss.

Thin face, thin eyebrows, thin eyes and thin lips, looking like a long strip, although not a serious aunt but combed a single bun, with a newly picked double-petaled pink chrysanthemum on the bun. Standing in front of Xiangru is a head higher, her chin is still raised high, and she just looks at people from the corner of her eye, so that her eyes are even thinner into a slit, and even the pupils are gone.

After listening to the visitor's identity, Xiangru hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Poria accepted Xiangru's salute steadily, but did not tell her to get up, but circled around Xiangru before calling her to get up, and asked her to go to the dressing table to untie the silk cloth on her head, and said that the girl never tied a cloth bun except for the kitchen.

Xiangru obeyed the order and unwrapped the hair silk cloth into her arms, and used a comb to comb the top hair, Poria looked left and right and felt satisfied, so she asked Xiangru to take her bags and go with her.

Originally, Xiangru was going to hug the quilt, but was stopped by Poria with a disgusted face, and said, "How many quilts can the pharmacy lack you?" Don't make people laugh. ”

So Xiangru only carried a few of her burdens and left with Poria cocos.

Along the way, Poria has been explaining the rules of the pharmacy to Xiangru, not touching here and there, except for the area responsible for sprinkling and cleaning every day, the rest of the time can only stay in the courtyard where he lives, and can only go to the pulp washing room in the back to wash clothes, and the yard in front is not summoned.

Xiangru smacked her tongue secretly when she heard it, and her mouth was snorting again and again. Seeing that she was so well-behaved and careful, Poria finally looked better on her face, but when she thought that she was from Aunt Rong's subordinates, a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.

After walking for a long time, Xiangru found that Poria took her straight to the gate of the medical hall, went around to the main courtyard, followed the verandah to the end, and walked into the second courtyard from the corner door next to the ear room.

Poria walked with Xiangru while explaining to her the usefulness of each hospital.

The first entrance of the main courtyard is the duty room of the medical woman, the second entrance is the pharmacy and treasury where the medicine is held, the third entrance is the residence of the medical woman and the apprentices, the fourth entrance is the residence of Aunt Fang and others, and finally the fifth entrance is the residence of the people of the inferior palace.

Because this main courtyard is the focus of the entire women's medical hall, the layout is wide and square, not to mention, trees are planted all over the year, and the trunks of the trees are surrounded by one person for many years, but all the corners and corners are planted with flowers and plants in all seasons, and there are special people to water and remove insects to maintain and take care of them.

Poria led Xiangru into the second entrance, pointed out to her, and said: "This north room is a pharmacy, usually just take medicine here, even if it is just a little cough, you can come over." The left and right wings are warehouses, with different medicinal materials, and what medicine to take is reported to the person in charge of the warehouse, and they will teach you to take it. The inverted seat hall at the back is a resting place, where everyone eats tea and plays cards when there is nothing to do. Now follow me to see Aunt Fang, she is in the two rooms on the right during the day, eating and resting, and if you have something to do in the future, just go here to find her. ”

As she spoke, Poria lifted the felt curtain of the door and led Xiangru into the ear room, the table and chairs in the bright room were complete but empty, Poria turned a blind eye, and went straight to the door of the dark room, reporting through the half-old scarlet soft curtain.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Wei lifted the curtain and came out, glanced at Xiangru who was standing behind Poria, and turned sideways to let the two in.

There are double kangs in the dark in this ear room, opposite seats, compared with the cold wind outside, it is simply warm here, Xiangru walked this way, and felt that she was going to sweat when she came in.

Aunt Fang wore a light purple-brown cotton jacket skirt and sat on the kang under the window on the right, with exquisite light yellow spherical chrysanthemums embroidered on the sleeves and knees of the skirt. On the kang table in his left hand are the four treasures of the study, holding a scroll in his hand, as if he is working. On the opposite side of the kang, there is a pillow brocade quilt, there is no kang table, and it is next to the wall, sheltered from the wind, and it is a good place to rest.

Poria pushed Xiangru to Aunt Fang, first taught her to call Aunt Fang, and then taught her to call Miss Bai Wei who was standing next to her, and then Xiangru knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing her deferential appearance, Aunt Fang didn't embarrass her much, and after kowtowing, she asked Poria to lead her down to settle down, and instructed her to work again tomorrow, and she had a holiday today.

Xiangru saluted again, and then Poria pulled out.

Bai Wei opened the soft curtain slightly, watched Poria and Xiangru go out, and then turned around to talk to Aunt Fang.

"Aunt Rong is so generous, she really sent her heart and liver to us here, so she is not afraid that we will give her a waste?"

"This is her cunning, knowing that I am at odds with her, I am afraid that I will make a stumbling block for her in the future, and stuff someone in, which is both an eyeliner and a warning, so that I dare not do anything to her, otherwise the slightest mistake will just happen to her to get the wrong?"

"Hey, when have we been so columsy, inserting an outsider in the middle of the way, it is already very uncomfortable, but I can only watch."

"What's the hurry, since she's here, are you still afraid that she won't make a mistake? The days to come are still long, and they sent someone to keep an eye on her, not giving her any chance to contact outsiders, and see how she spreads the word. Do you really think that woman has that intelligence? Aunt Fang didn't care, flipped through the booklet in her hand, and picked up the pen again.

"I don't care if it's just Aunt Rong giving us eye medicine, it's just that this girl has served Aunt Xiao, and Doctor Xie has a good relationship with Aunt Xiao, do you think Aunt Xiao will tell Doctor Xie about this and let her take care of her more?"

"Well, it's possible, but even if she really confesses something, how much can Doctor Xie take care of her? It's just an opportunity to find me to change her for a light job. At that time, Xiao Gu had already left, did she still have to write a letter to ask? I'm afraid that her old disease will recur, so she can only lie in bed and not get on and off the ground. ”

"My aunt taught me a lesson, I thought too much." Bai Wei took two steps forward and leaned on the edge of the table, accompanying her while grinding ink.

Outside, Poria led Xiangru into and in, and finally took her to the last one, around this circle are five rooms in the Ming Dynasty, and there are ear rooms on both sides of the north house, which is located in the corner between the left wing room and the inverted seat hall, and it is also the public toilet of the people who enter the courtyard in four or five times, in fact, the layout of these courtyards is arranged like this. There are flowers inside and outside the door, and someone cleans them twice a day, so there is no filth and annoyance.

Poria led Xiangru straight into the left wing room and the right room. This room is far away from the toilet, but it is the closest to the left ear room of the north house, which has been cleaned up into a small kitchen, where fire gods such as boiling hot water and decoction of potions are located.

The layout of the house is exactly the same as the courtyard of the inferior palace where Xiangru lived before, but it is a little different, under the door wall is a big kang, which is spacious enough to allow people to roll and somersault on it; Under the window are long tables and dressing tables, and there are only three basin shelves and three large cabinets on the wall, and although there are some miscellaneous items in the corner, they are neatly piled up, and there is no dirt at all.

Poria showed her all the things that belonged to Xiangru, and then asked her to clean up by herself, and told her that in the future, she only needed to follow the sisters in the same house to do things, and there was no need for other instructions. So she finished her mission, turned and left.

Xiangru only then knew that there were three people living in each room here, and she usually worked in groups of three, and she could sleep three people in such a spacious room, and she was not afraid of rolling and turning over at night.

was cleaning up, two girls holding futon pillows came in outside, Xiangru hurriedly took it and thanked her, the two girls were not polite, handed over the things and left, coming and going in a hurry, not even leaving their names.

Xiangru put the futon pillow on the kang, looked at it carefully, although it was half-new, it was also clean, put it under her nose and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance of the sun, it should have been dried not long ago.

After spending some time tidying up her things, Xiangru, who had nothing to do, thought about it, took out the white muslin cloth and scissors and chalk for making underwear, and cut them on the table. Aunt Yung's unfinished shoes were handed over to Cinnamon, and she finally had time to make her own things.

The style of the women's underwear here is not uniform, so they are all free to their own pleasure and feel creative. She had seen Aunt Yung's belly pocket made like a modern vest; And young people like Lilac Honeysuckle are like Ming-style main waists, only around the chest, with side bands, highlighting the chest line; The middle class of Chef Li's age is more casual, and there are all kinds of styles. However, if you look closely, you can find that the older you are, the longer the underwear, mainly to prevent the waist, abdomen and back from getting cold.

Xiangru has been wearing the clothes of the original owner of the body since she was reincarnated, and when she caught up with the first time to make a dress for herself, she was impatient to do a popular style, and after thinking about it, she decided to make a small suspender for herself.

Xiangru cut the two pieces of material in one go, took out the pattern and studied it quietly, and gradually finalized it in her mind, and then took the sewing basket and went to sit under the porch outside, stretched the bandage, and began to embroider. Just after embroidering a few stitches, the courtyard suddenly became lively, Xiangru looked up, it turned out that the inferior palace people who had finished their work came back one after another.

Seeing the newcomer, the two girls in the same room came forward to meet, both older than Xiangru, one twenty and the other twenty-two, and the name is also coincidental, the younger one is called Tiandong, and the older one is called Mai Dong.

Er Dong saw that Xiangru was doing needlework, and they all took their own sewing baskets from the house and sat under the porch, chatting and playing while doing.

The three of them introduced themselves to each other, Tiandong and Mai Dong had nothing new, they had been sprinkling and sweeping for so many years after they came in, and they could only watch with envy as other sisters being accepted as apprentices by the doctors.

When it was Xiangru's turn, she originally wanted to hide the fact that she used to be a cook, but after thinking about it, she has been a cook for so many days, and the people who came to the kitchen to get food have already recorded her face, even if she denies it now, someone will recognize her again at noon at the latest, so why pretend to be hypocritical.

Thinking so, Xiangru generously introduced her origin, but hid the fact that she used to be Aunt Xiao's chef. As expected, Tiandong and Mai Dong were quite sorry why they transferred her to the pharmacy, how good it was in the kitchen, everyone had a good mouthful.

Xiangru only smiled and said that this was an arrangement from above, she only obeyed, and she didn't say a word about other irrelevant things.

The three of them laughed crookedly a few more words, and gradually focused on the work at hand, and no one spoke for a while.

At noon, the courtyard sent someone to the kitchen to get food, Xiangru watched a group of people go out from the corner door next to the ear room, and after a while, the big girls in front of them came in with small food boxes and went into the ear room to wait.

After another quarter of an hour, the people who took the lunch came back, went into the ear room and redistributed it, and when the big girls came out with their lunch, the rest of the lower palace people in the courtyard went in to eat.

After Madder and the others came out, Xiangru saw Madder raising her head and straightening her chest without squinting and just walking on her own, and nodded with some envy, it turned out that the medical apprentice had such a decent identity.

Xiangru entered the house to eat and was expected to be recognized by others, and Madder returned to the house, and said while serving soup to Mrs. Xie: "Master, I saw Xiangru just now, but I don't know if she saw me." ”

"Oh? She came in today? Doctor Xie took a sip of the soup lightly, "I thought she was going to be a little later, I went to deliver something to Aunt Xiao yesterday, and I didn't hear Yu Gui mention it." ”

"Cinnamon is busy now, it's inevitable to forget it for a while, anyway, Xiangru is going to come in, maybe she thinks it's nothing if she thinks about it at night."

Doctor Xie thought about it and did the same, "I'm afraid that someone will fix her and make her uneasy, and I can't go out now and say that I want to take her, after all, she came in in the name of supplementing manpower, and there is no place for me to interfere." If she said that she had a talent for studying medicine, Aunt Fang would not give up, she would find something strange as long as she checked it a little. Aunt Xiao still has three or four days to leave, but she can't let her cause trouble. ”

"There will always be a chance, no one is relieved that she came in halfway, and she was once under Aunt Rong, this time she must be thinking about how to give her a dismount, let's just wait for a good show, I estimate that there will be a chance before spring."

Mrs. Xie nodded slowly: "I hope so, otherwise time will be too tight for her." ”
