Xia Zhi has been lying down for several days, and his leg injury can be regarded as recovering, at least he can move freely. Dr. Huang was not in a hurry to arrange work for her, and the decoction and other matters were left to the other maids. Xia Zhile was relaxed, and wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zhao Yutong, but found that the courtyard had set new rules in the past few days.

After the last incident, the guards at the back door have become more and more strict, and idlers are not allowed to go out at will without the permission of the. The rules of the lockdown caused the sisters in the courtyard to complain, and they can usually secretly go out to buy a snack and snack, but now it's okay, and when they are hungry, they can only dream about the silver.

What makes Xia Zhi even more crazy is that not only is it forbidden to travel at the back door, but even the front yard is guarded by a small servant who does not let her set foot in half a step. This rule is obviously only for Xia Solstice alone, and I feel that I have become a captive little animal, and the only role is to provide the girls with after-dinner conversations. The most common thing to talk about the summer solstice should be the Xiaolou that has been in full swing recently, and this is not enough to come to the backyard to [visit] the summer solstice.

[Yo, this is the way to run off the ground!] It's a pity that no matter how much I can run, I can only be trapped in the backyard. How does this saying come about, the fight of trapped beasts? Xiaolou smiled and knocked on the melon seeds, and talked and laughed with a few little sisters under the eaves of the porch.

Xia Zhi didn't want to provoke her, but he was anxious to know Zhao Yutong's current situation, so he rolled his eyes and came straight to the door, [A trapped beast is a beast, it's better than being a dog that can only wag its tail. 】

Xiaolou glared at her fiercely, and the melon seed shell flew out, [Hmph, the mouth is really powerful.] It seems that the last 20 boards are not enough for you to remember for a long time, you should have another 100 palms, no, 1,000 palms! 】

Xia Zhi didn't care, half leaning on the stone pillar and said idly, [Feng Shui takes turns, and after a while, Yutong will find a way to help me lift this ban. 】

Xiao Lou laughed a few times when he heard this, as if he had heard a big joke, [You are daydreaming, Zhao Yutong's little girl will be soft to the is not because of you, she hates you too late, how can she help you! You don't know, it's she who brought it up with to prohibit you from going to the front yard, probably because she doesn't want to see your nasty face! 】

[How so?] Xia Solstice frowned in disbelief, and he really couldn't figure out the logic of this. It turned out that she deprived Zhao Yutong of his last hope? Although she didn't help, she wouldn't have become an accomplice to forcing Liang to become a prostitute.

[That's the way it is, it's useless if you don't believe it. Zhao Yutong is now the favorite bargaining chip of, and her food and clothing are even better than some other big girls. When she officially comes out of the cabinet to pick up guests and stand firm in the courtyard, it will be your day of suffering, and we will wait to see the show. The purpose of Shinolou's visit had been achieved, and he twisted his waist and laughed as he went to the front yard.

Xia Zhi knew Zhao Yutong's current situation from Xiaolou's mouth as he wished, but it was not at all what he could imagine. Those words made her reflect, how much does Zhao Yutong's compromise have to do with her? Xia Zhi's belief is to do her best to obey the destiny of heaven, and she can be said to have done her best to find Zhao's father within her ability, which she has a clear conscience. If Zhao Yutong was angry with her because of this, it was not something she could stop. Instead of mediocrity and self-disturbance, it is better to do something practical.

The medical books given by Bai Linfeng before leaving were still in the small room, and Xia Zhi looked through them, these medical books were completely different from those given by Dr. Huang. In contrast, Dr. Huang's booklet on simple medical theory introduces the habits of common medicinal materials in a simple and general way. The medical book is divided into four volumes of the Materia Medica, which contains rich and profound drug theories, classifies the drugs according to the performance and efficacy of the drugs, and also lists the brief records and descriptions of the main diseases, which is undoubtedly the most intuitive summary for those who study medicine.

The summer solstice is most interested in the last of the four volumes. Most of the medicinal materials mentioned in it are rare and scarce, from the origin and production, processing methods and even the methods of medicine and administration. In the blank space of the page, there are handwritten small annotations, small stories related to medicinal materials and brain holes for the development and utilization of medicinal materials, followed by a small "white" word, which is not Bai Linfeng's handwriting? Some naughty and funny stories make people laugh, and medical books don't look boring anymore.

However, the peaceful days did not last a few days, and Tongxiangyuan made a fuss again.

On this day, Xia Zhi had just helped Sister-in-law Li dry her laundry, and she was called to the kitchen to help before she could take a breath. Again, Tongxiangyuan does not raise idlers.

The kitchen in the backyard has changed from its usual order to a mess, and one of the reasons is that there are several more maids who have come to help. The maids peeled lotus seeds and selected vegetable leaves, the servants killed chickens and chopped meat, helped the kitchen carve and arrange plates, and the chef held the pot in charge, and the whole kitchen was busy inside and outside.

Fang Chef saw Xia Solstice coming, and hurriedly drank, [What are you doing standing still, hurry up and help with the work!] 】

Xia Zhi answered, and cleverly came to the maids to participate in the work of peeling lotus seeds. The group of maids, as long as there is no fanning the flames and provoking trouble, everyone can still get along amicably.

[Is there anything big in the courtyard today?] Xia Solstice asked in a casual chatty tone.

Haven't you heard? Today is a good day for Miss Yutong to book **. One of the little maids talked.

Xia Zhi chuckled in his heart, since he knew that Zhao Yutong was soft, sooner or later such a day would come, but when this moment really came, he would still tighten his nerves.

[But I haven't seen such a big battle in the good days of the Ziyuan girl before, how did this Yutong girl have such a face? ] As soon as the conversation began, everyone began to talk about each other. Xia Zhi didn't speak, only pricked up his ears to listen.

[That is to say, I have never seen a so much praise for any girl, and the requirements for her are almost obedient. Like the stage, fireworks, and red silk ribbons hanging all over it, this pomp is said to be newlywed, and everyone believes it. 】

[Poof, what are you talking about newlyweds in the land of fireworks, don't have a bad brain. 】

[Miss Yutong's brain is good, poetry and songs come casually, and playing the piano and dancing is not a problem. said that she was the material for the Oiran, so she was satisfied with her style. 】

……

Xia Zhi didn't speak again, and all kinds of thoughts were guessing in his head. Zhao Yutong: This is accepting reality, right? That's why the greatest battle is required to be the end of one and the beginning of another. With a sigh, Xia Zhi's chest was stuffy, and he couldn't lift his spirits at all.

【Summer solstice! Suddenly, someone shouted her name, and without saying a word, rushed over and pulled her up.

Xia Zhi came back to her senses, but it was Yan'er, who was out of breath, obviously trotting over, [What's wrong?] 】

[Miss Yutong said she wanted to see you! As soon as he said this, everyone present turned their heads in unison, like sunflowers.
