Chapter 286： Can't play

When Xue Qian went out, Ying Bao quickly took down the medicine box and put it on the bed.

This room was dark, damp, and dusty, and there were many spider webs hanging on the corners, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time.

The bed opposite me is covered with a bamboo fence and doesn't even have a mat, just like here.

Through the bamboo fence, you can clearly see the broken soil pulled out by rats under the bed.

Ying Bao took matters into her own hands and moved another large wooden box over, placing it at the head of her bed and stacking it up with the previous one.

Find another rag and wipe the dust off the table.

I opened the window and saw a garden outside the window. There were some evergreen trees growing in the garden, as well as a few peonies and peonies in bud.

There are also several bamboo racks on which some clothes and bedding are hung to dry.

Apparently, this back garden is where the female disciples hang out their clothes to dry.

I just don’t know where they do their laundry and whether there is a pond nearby.

Just as she was thinking about it, Xue Qian came in carrying a mat and quilt, followed by a forty-year-old nanny.

"Junior sister Jiang, this is your bedding. I'll get some clothes later." Xue Qian put the bedding on the small wooden bed and said to Ying Bao: "This is Aunt Fang, who is responsible for managing our yard and life. If you need anything in the future, just tell her."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Xueqian." Yingbao saluted to Aunt Fang again: "Aunt Fang, please take care of me."

Mother Fang nodded and said, "I can't take care of anything. I just urge you students to abide by the rules."

Yingbao blinked, not knowing why.

Why do I feel like this grandma is a bit like the nurturing mother of Wu Chun Yuan?

Then, Grandma Fang began to talk about the rules of the Medical Department: "Every morning you must get up at the beginning of Mao hour, go to the cafeteria to eat at Chen o'clock, go to the school for classes at Chen o'clock, have lunch in the cafeteria at two o'clock, and have dinner at the beginning of You o'clock. , and hot water is supplied at that time.”

Mammy Fang glanced at Yingbao and continued: "You are not allowed to go out after Xu hour every day. Turn off the lights and rest on time at Hai hour. You are not allowed to quarrel, fight, or steal while you are in the school. Do you understand?"

“Understood.” Ying Bao nodded.

Aunt Fang: “When attending classes at the Medical Office, you must wear uniform clothes, and your clothes must be neat and clean. You must not be disheveled or slovenly. If you damage the medical office’s items and medicinal materials, you must pay compensation according to the price.”

Yingbao raised her head and responded: "I understand, mama."

Seeing that she was sleeping well, Grandma Fang softened her tone a lot and explained a lot of things to pay attention to before leaving.

By this time, Xue Qian had already brought Ying Bao’s clothes, a total of two sets of white robes and a black gauze bun.

Yingbao took the clothes and put them on immediately.

It’s almost April now, and the weather is very warm, so I only need to wear two layers of clothing.

It’s just that she didn’t know how to wear the black bun, so she had to ask Xue Qian to demonstrate it several times before reluctantly bandaging it.

Xue Qian also brought her own bronze mirror for Ying Bao to take a look at, and said with a smile, "Look how beautiful it is."

Ying Bao glanced sideways at herself in the mirror, feeling that dressed like this, she looked like a handsome young man.

Xue Qian then helped Ying Bao lay out the mat and bedding, and said, "After a while, you can ask your senior brothers for some mosquito repellent incense. If the weather gets warmer, there will be more mosquitoes in the house."

“Hmm.” In fact, there are a lot of mint grass planted in Yingbao’s cave. When the time comes, just move some out and put them on the windowsill.

The two of them cleaned the house, and it was almost midnight. Xue Qian brought her own bowls and chopsticks and gave a set to her junior sister. "Let's go to the dining hall to eat."

So the two men took the bowls, chopsticks and a bucket and walked to the dining hall.

On the way, Yingbao met Chen Tiantian as expected.

The person walking with Chen Tiantian was a beautiful girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

“Yingbao.” Chen Tiantian smiled at Yingbao and greeted her.

Yingbao nodded expressionlessly and said, "Junior sister Chen." The girl next to Chen Tiantian looked at Yingbao in surprise and asked, "Why do you call Tiantian junior sister?"

Yingbao smiled: "Ask her."

The beautiful girl turned to Chen Tiantian again: "Why?"

Chen Tiantian said helplessly: "Yingbao said that her medical skills are better than mine, so she insists on being a senior sister."

The beautiful girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is too willful."

Ying Bao ignored the two of them and quickly walked into the dining hall with Xue Qian.

At this moment, there were already many people serving food in the canteen, most of them were men, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Meals are two steamed buns per person, a large bowl of thin rice porridge, and no vegetables.

Most people brought their own pickles and ate them with porridge and steamed buns.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, you can fill up another bowl until there is no more porridge in the bucket.

Mother Fang is right, as long as you arrive late, not only will you not get the steamed buns, you will not even get the gruel.

After receiving the steamed buns and porridge, Xue Qian put the bowl on the table and went to fetch a bucket of hot water. Because if it was too late, the hot water would be scooped out, and she could only drink cold water.

Ying Bao was eating steamed buns and porridge while looking at everyone in the dining hall.

There are nine girls who come to get food, all of them are under the age of fifteen.

Among the female students, she is the youngest, only seven years old, followed by Chen Tiantian, who is about eleven years old, and then that beautiful girl.

Sister Xueqian looks about fifteen, and the other five are also between thirteen and fifteen or sixteen years old.

After eating, everyone left one after another.

Yingbao returned to her room, washed herself a little with the hot water brought by sister Xueqian, closed the doors and windows, bolted the door, and then climbed into bed to rest.

Looking at the spider webs on the roof beams, Ying Bao fell into deep thought.

She didn’t understand why Chen Tiantian would return to Qinchuan County to study medicine. Could it be that there was no one in Jingcheng Tai Hospital who could teach her?

There was also the girl next to Chen Tiantian. Later, she heard from sister Xue Qian that the girl's name was Wen Yurong, and she was the granddaughter of Wen Jingyan, the imperial physician of the capital.

Wen Jingyan’s granddaughter?

Wen Tian and Wen Jiao are also Wen Jingyan's granddaughters. Now there is another one who comes to study medicine with Chen Tiantian. Is there any significance?

I remember Xiao Mo said that it was the intention of the nobles in the capital to allow him to study medicine.

Which noble person in the capital?

Definitely not Murong Xian.

Although Murong Xian is in poor health, his mind is still clear and his temperament is gentle and kind.

He knew that he hated Chen Tiantian, so he would never let Chen Tiantian study medicine with him.

Also, Chen Tiantian was a mascot given to him by the Queen, a person with good fortune calculated by Qintian Monitoring. Without the consent of the Queen, Murong Xian could not send her out of the capital.

Then, this matter can only be the queen’s intention.

The Queen asked her son's mascot to come to Qinchuan County to study medicine. Was it because she took a fancy to Chen Tiantian's talent? Definitely not.

Probably he wanted to train his son to have a bedside man who knew medical skills. After all, the prince was frail and sick, so someone had to take care of him at all times.

 And that Wen Yurong, beautiful and elegant, about the same age, and the direct granddaughter of the imperial physician Wen Jingyan, is probably one of the candidates for Murong Xian's inner court.

But why did the queen drag her along?

I am just a little kid who doesn’t understand anything. When Murong Xian comes of age, I will only be ten years old.

Ying Bao thought about it and couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the plot in the storybook.

Could it be that without herself as a tool, the heroine wouldn't be able to play the plot? Do you have to step on yourself to get to the top?
