Tang Xiluo frowned and said, "These three words 'rootless grass' are easy to understand, right?"

Shen Jingbei swallowed his saliva and said, "There is grass without roots?! I have been traveling all over the country for more than ten years and have never heard of grass without roots. Sister-in-law, you are not making it up, are you?"

Tang Xiluo glanced at him and said, "There's no need for me to make up stories. The world is so big and full of wonders. There are many things you haven't seen."

Shen Jingbei shut up and looked at Zhan Jingchen for help: What should I do? It's hard to cure this poison.

Zhan Jingchen took out a brush and ink: "Can you draw what the rootless grass looks like? I'll send someone out to look for it."

Tang Xiluo thought about it and decided to draw it. What if the names of the two time and space are different? Two regions in the same time and space may have different names, let alone two time and space?

So she took the brush and prepared to paint.

Suddenly Zhan Jingchen said: "You..."

The girl looked up at the two people beside her in surprise. They were looking back at her with indescribable expressions.

"What's wrong? Any other questions?"

Zhan Jingchen didn't know how to start the conversation, worried that it would hurt his wife's self-esteem.

Shen Jingbei asked carelessly: "Sister-in-law, can you write?"

Tang Xiluo shook her head: "No." She could only write modern characters, not ancient ones.

Shen Jingbei widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "You can't write? Then how can you draw?" In ancient times, drawing was more challenging than writing.

Tang Xiluo looked at him puzzledly: "What does writing have to do with painting?" If she had something in her head, she would definitely be able to draw it!

Zhan Jingchen coughed softly a few times: "Lolo, the way you hold the pen is wrong."

I have never seen anyone hold a pen in this posture before, and her fingers were almost touching the tip of the pen.

Tang Xiluo finally understood what the two men's eyes meant, and also knew why they didn't quite trust her. In their era, they held brushes, but she used fountain pen gestures, and she had never learned to use a brush in modern times.

"Don't worry about these details."

Shen Jingbei blinked: "Details determine success or failure..."

Tang Xiluo straightened up and glared at him: "I only look at the results! I don't care about the process."

Shen Jingbei was silenced by the scolding and shut his mouth with a wronged look.

Zhan Jingchen was amused by the two of them. How many adults are they? Yet they are still bickering like children.

"Okay, Xiaobei, stop talking."

Shen Jingbei's eyes were filled with resentment. Neither of this couple were good people! Humph!

Next, the two men stood aside and watched, while Tang Xiluo painted with a brush.

Zhan Jingchen was stunned. She had actually drawn shapes with such random strokes!

Shen Jingbei: “…” As expected, he only cares about the result. The result is amazing, but the process is unbearable to watch.

"Oh my God! Your painting is so lifelike! It's simply a masterpiece!" Even if a painter were to paint, he might not be able to draw better than this little girl!

Tang Xiluo was proud: "Of course!" If she had watercolor pens, she would paint exactly like the photo.

Shen Jingbei held up the painting in shock. To be honest, it was so realistic! Although he had never seen this kind of plant, the painting looked like a real plant that had been printed as a specimen.

The more he was praised, the more proud he became: "I'm not bragging. If I had colored pencils, I could draw even more beautifully!"

"Colored pencils?!" Two male voices asked in confusion.

"Sister-in-law, what are colored pencils?"

Zhan Jingchen was also shocked: "It's rare that pens come in colors?!" It's simply too amazing, this idea is so wild!

Tang Xiluo saw that the two were getting carried away, and quickly waved his hands: "It's just a dream, nothing in the dream is real."

Shen Jingbei: "Sister-in-law, your dream is also very interesting." Otherwise, who would dream of such an extraordinary thing?

Tang Xiluo glanced at him: "Isn't the blood letter red?"

Shen Jingbei: "In this world, isn't there black ink and blood red?"

Tang Xiluo shook his head: "In fact, there can be pink and green." Women's rouge is pink, and green can also be extracted from green leaves.

Shen Jingbei thought about it, and suddenly looked at her with surprise: "Sister-in-law! You are really a genius! I have thought of a good way to make money!"

Zhan Jingchen looked at him like a fool: "Save your energy, who would buy colored pencils for no reason?"

Ordinary people have a hard time even getting food, so why would they buy such useless things? Rich people only need to grind ink, and fancy watercolor pens are not very useful.

Even if you are a painter, you don't need all those colors. How many colors are needed for one painting? It's impossible to just use a few monotonous colors and leave the rest blank, right?

Shen Jingbei felt a little disappointed: "Oh~" It seems that I was just daydreaming. I have been studying medicine for so many years that I have become stupid.

Tang Xiluo narrowed her eyes, thinking that she had a chance to become a rich woman! She smelled a lot of business opportunities, but she only had brains but no funds or manpower, and she had not yet figured out the ancient business model.

Shen Jingbei got back to the point, holding the painting of the rootless grass: "Where can I find this? I have gone to many places to dig herbs, but I have never seen this kind of grass."

Tang Xiluo thought for a moment and said, "Generally, they grow in places where land and water alternate."

Zhan Jingchen turned his head to look at her: "The Chi County we are going to this time happens to be a place where land and water alternate." Because of this, the silver used for flood relief was constantly embezzled and robbed.

Tang Xiluo nodded: "That's really a coincidence, I'm giving you a pillow just when I feel sleepy!"

Zhan Jingchen: “…” This metaphor is so weird, yet it makes sense.

Shen Jingbei exclaimed: "What?! You are going to Chi County?! Brother Chen, you are in this situation..." Can you hold on?

Zhan Jingchen waved his hand: "No problem."

Shen Jingbei was so angry: "Then I want to go too!" Then I can take care of him and see if I can find some precious medicinal herbs.

-

Early the next morning.

Xiaoli pushed open the door and came in.

"Miss, Miss? It's time to get up!"

Xiaomei stood by, watching Xiaoli shouting in horror. How dare she disturb her master like this! She even poked her master with her hand! She didn't want her finger anymore?!

"Sister Xiaoli..."

Xiaoli looked at Xiaomei and sighed helplessly: "You'll get used to it. There are ten times out of ten mornings when I fail to wake the young lady up." There has never been an exception.

Xiao Mei was a little timid: "Why don't we wait until the princess sleeps for a while?" Otherwise, the princess will definitely be angry when she wakes up.

Xiaoli shook her head: "Not today, today is the third day of the young lady's marriage, she has to go back to her parents' home, otherwise rumors will spread outside!"

The young lady's reputation outside was getting worse and worse, and she didn't want the young lady to be looked down upon! The young lady was the best young lady in the world, and no one could talk nonsense about her!

Xiaomei was in a dilemma: "Then...what should I do?"

Xiaoli stood by, her mind racing: What should I do? Should I go find the prince? No, no! I can't go find the prince.

Got it!

"Xiaomei, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything delicious, and bring over a plate that smells especially good."

When Xiaomei heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds and then turned and left.

Xiaoli was very helpless. She felt like she was living the life of an old mother. At the same time, she lamented that her young lady slept too much and was also a huge eater.

"Miss, you are coming back today, the general must be waiting for you in the mansion."

Tang Xiluo rubbed his ears, turned over and continued to sleep. There were so many tedious things to do in this shabby place!

Xiaoli: “…”

After waiting for a while, Xiaomei came in with a plate of golden fried meat.

"Sister Xiaoli, the kitchen is preparing the golden pastry."

Xiaoli took the plate and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Mei's eyes widened: "No, no, no! It's not hard, this is what a servant should do!"

She was just running an errand, but Sister Xiaoli was so polite to her. As slaves, they were born to serve their precious masters, so how could they dare to have any other ideas?

Xiaoli paused, then suddenly smiled, looking at Xiaomei's frightened and uncomfortable expression. Wasn't that exactly herself back then?

At first, I didn't dare to think that the lady would say thank you to me for my hard work, nor did I dare to accept a thank you from her, let alone sit down and eat with her.

But as time went by, her way of getting along with the lady gradually became more relaxed, and she even dared to play with the lady. However, she would always be loyal to the lady and serve her well.

Because of the young lady, she felt like she was living like a human being, and she experienced the feeling of being cared for and respected.
