It would be fine if there was only a similarity in figure, but when they got closer, Xiao Song found that even the clothes, including the golden crown on their heads, were exactly the same...

She would never be wrong, and besides, there are only a few people in the capital who can wear such clothes.

How could this be?Isn't the Grand Duke in the palace during the day?

How could the Duke of the State appear at Xiao Langjun's place?

She would rather believe that she was wrong.

Xiao Song almost forgot to walk, she was always steady, but it was the lively Xiao Ya who gave her a hand and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? It should be the Duke! Let's go see you soon!"

"Oh." Xiao Song put away his mixed emotions, went up with others, and greeted Qi Huai together.

Qi Huai called out indifferently, and said softly, "I just came to have a look, you all should leave."

"Yes!"

The others all dispersed, Xiaoya and Xiaosong were the maids of Qingyinju after all, so it was difficult to leave, so they stayed in the forest.

Qi Huai turned around and saw that the two of them were still there, and carefully explained: "Master Hui, these two little girls are maids of Qingyinju, would you like some tea and cakes? Tell them to do it. "

"No need." Qi Huai glanced at the two maids, but they looked familiar.

He didn't take it to heart either, and asked casually, "Who lived here before?"

Otherwise, why put the two maids here, I am afraid that the second aunt or cousin lived here before, and these are the leftovers.

But the steward suddenly shut up, and the two maids also lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Qi Huai thought for a while, and thought, could this be the residence of his cheap son?

He chuckled, stopped asking, walked away, and left a sentence: "Pick a few good prunings and put them in a bottle for me."

After all, his figure quickly disappeared into the plum grove, Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Master Guo is so scary!" Looking at Xiao Song again, seeing her pale face, she said with a smile, "Look at you, His face turned pale with fright!"

Xiao Song is suffering and can't tell, how could she be scared by this matter...

Qi Zhinian woke up in the morning and went to the morning market to buy bamboo strips and paper for lanterns, long candles, and some paints. Lin Xiuxiu brought them hot soybean milk, but was left behind by Madam Fan. He also invited Widow Lin to have breakfast together.

The two families had a lively breakfast together, and learned that Qi Zhinian wanted to start a lantern business.

Widow Lin laughed and said, "I went to do business outside the city yesterday, and I earned more money than usual and in the city! Before the Lantern Festival, I plan to go, so you will be our company, Set up a stall next door!"

Lin Xiuxiu nodded again and again: "That's right! Many people said yesterday that they would come to our house to eat tofu flowers today. The business must be better tonight, so your lanterns will definitely sell well!"

Mother Fan was worried about letting Qi Zhinian go out to do business alone at night, and she was even more grateful after hearing this.

The mother and daughter of the Lin family went home to prepare tofu flowers for sale at night. On this day, apart from going out to buy new clothes for Jiang Qiniang and Madam Fan, Qi Zhinian was still making lanterns at home.

Qi Zhinian knew how to make lanterns when he was the young master of the Duke’s Mansion. At that time, such things were just for fun. He was very thorough, and the lanterns he made were very beautiful. Fortunately, he still has this skill. Now, it is fast and good to make lanterns at this time.

He has read a lot of books, and it is easy to come up with some interesting lantern riddles.

Mother Fan was also helping out, and by the afternoon, he had already finished ten lanterns.

The quantity is a bit small, but they are all exquisite, coupled with interesting lantern riddles, Qi Zhinian guessed that it should not be a hard sell at night.

In order not to be recognized, Qi Zhinian also made some masks by the way, and drew some patterns of kittens and puppies on them with a brush. He also drew a little tiger for himself, and prepared to wear it at night, so that he would not be afraid of being caught by others at all. recognize.

The doctor also came in the afternoon.

Qi Zhinian asked Nanny Fan, and learned that this doctor is a very young fellow, a wandering doctor, surnamed Huang, who only came to the capital last year, but he is very famous, and he specializes in treating some strange things that other doctors dare not treat. He still dared to slit someone's stomach directly, saying it was a tumor or something.

In short, when he used this move for the first time, even if the opponent was an old man who was so poor that he had no money to see a doctor and was about to die, it still scared everyone.

Unexpectedly, this young doctor cured the old man!

He was already on the verge of death, but now he is full of delicious food and drinks, and has opened a tea stall. The family life is getting better and better!

The doctor also became famous in the first battle.

But this person's behavior is still absurd in the eyes of many people. How many people dare to speak directly in the stomach?

Even now, not many people dare to invite him if he is not dying of a disease or is extremely poor.

The reason why Cheng Qu invited him over was because the imperial doctor couldn't invite him. He knew that the little man's mother had been weak all year round, and ordinary doctors had also invited him. The doctor of the brand has a look.

Mother Fan said: "Then Doctor Huang is really capable. He said strange things that I couldn't understand as soon as he came, mentally weak? What kind of depression is there? But here, here on our lady's head—" She I ordered a few acupuncture points, "Acupoints have been inserted here, and when I woke up, the lady herself said that it was much better! My heart is very comfortable! Xiao Langjun, I am still wondering, this body is weak, and acupuncture on the head is also useful It’s not like no doctor used needles before, but they always pricked the arms and waist and abdomen.”

After hearing these words, Qi Zhinian admired him very much, and felt that this Doctor Huang was really amazing.

"It's the handwriting written by the doctor. I really can't compliment it."

Mother Fan brought the prescription and handed it to Qi Zhinian.

Qi Zhinian couldn't help laughing when he saw the dog crawling characters: "Indeed, but no one is perfect. Doctors practice medicine to save lives. As long as they can cure diseases, there is no need to force them to write well."

Mother Fan smiled and said yes.

A quarter of an hour later, that Doctor Huang came home again, and Qi Zhinian went to receive him warmly.

Doctor Huang was really young, in his twenties, wearing a loose cotton gown, with an ordinary appearance, but a very sparse face, with a sense of carefreeness, Qi Zhinian liked him very much, and greeted him with a smile.

Doctor Huang gave an exaggerated "ho" and said, "You're still the most beautiful person I've ever seen here!"

"..."

People at that time paid attention to subtlety, and it was the first time Qi Zhinian saw such a straightforward person.

Doctor Huang laughed again: "The sick lady is your mother, right? You mother and son are very similar."

After finishing speaking, he went into the room to see Jiang Qiniang in a dignified manner. The bed curtain was lowered thickly, and a veil was placed on Jiang Qiniang's wrist. He felt his pulse for a moment, then nodded: "It's good, it's curative, continue to take the medicine I took. From now on, I will give acupuncture every five days."

Qi Zhinian and Nanny Fan hurriedly expressed their thanks, and Doctor Huang went to the side to write the prescription.

Seeing him holding the brush in a very strange way and starting to write with a painful face, Qi Zhinian took the initiative to say: "Doctor Huang, if you tell me, I'll help you write?"

"Are you literate?!" Doctor Huang looked over in surprise. In this era, reading is too expensive, and there are too few people who can read and write.

Qi Zhinian nodded with a smile. Doctor Huang looked at Qi Zhinian's appearance and muttered in a low voice: That's right, looking at the appearance of these two girls, they don't look like ordinary people. He stood up generously: "Come on, I'll read ,you write."

"Okay." Qi Zhinian sat down and helped Doctor Huang write the prescription.

"Anyone like me who doesn't know how to do it can see that your handwriting is really beautiful!"

Qi Zhinian smiled modestly, and was about to send Dr. Huang off, pay the consultation fee by the way, and then go get the medicine.

Doctor Huang looked at him and asked him, "Do you want to study medicine?"

"..."

"But I'm poor, you probably won't make any money by studying medicine with me, and I don't need you to worship me as a teacher to ensure you learn it. I really don't have talent, and diseases like headaches and brain fever can always be cured! You just write for me. The prescription is enough, and there are some experiences I need to remember from seeing a doctor, so I have to trouble you to write it down for me."

Mother Fan was about to stop her when she heard that, but Qi Zhinian nodded quickly: "Okay! But I'm very busy, and I have limited study time every day, and I can't study with you for a long time. We won't stay in the capital for a long time, but as long as I If I have free time, I will go find you."

"Okay! As long as you can learn! As long as you can help me write! I don't like this place either, and I will leave in a few days!" Doctor Huang was also forthright, reaching out his hand to Qi Zhinian.

"This is?" Qi Zhinian was puzzled.

"Haha! Shake hands!" The man shook Qi Zhinian's hand up and down, "My name is Huang Minglian, that bitter Huanglian! Call me what you want!"

Although Qi Zhinian thought it was cloudy, he also thought this move was very interesting. Doctor Huang's name was even more interesting. He also shook his hand and asked with a smile, "I'll call you Brother Huang, okay?"

"no problem!"

Huang Lian threw down the book and handed it to him: "Let's start by memorizing the names of the medicines. You can recite them almost. I'll teach you the rest."

"Thank you! Brother Huang!"

"It's easy to say! Memorize it well, come back in five days, I'll take your test!" After patting him on the shoulder, Huang Lian strode away with his tattered medicine box on his back.

Mother Fan was worried: "Young Lord, is your body able to handle such a busy schedule?"

"Mommy, I don't have too many skills. Even if I'm not that kind of person, it's not bad to know some herbs and pharmacology. When we leave the capital in the future, we will always find a job. I want to open a shop, study, The paper and ink shop is the first choice. If I can recognize herbs and know some medical skills, I can also open a medicine shop! After all, it is right to learn more!"

Mother Fan thought about it, and said: "Then you should pay attention to rest, we don't force you, your body is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, Mammy! I'm the youngest. If I don't learn it now, when will I learn it? It's just memorization, and I won't be troubled!"

That is, when it comes to endorsement, Madam Fan has to be proud. Their little man has been smart since he was a child. Every gentleman said that he is the number one scholar, which may be exaggerated, but he can memorize very fast. This is true No one can be fooled, Mother Fan has seen it all with her own eyes!

It's easy to say a word backwards.

It's a pity that their little lord will not be able to take the No. [-] Scholar exam in this life, not only the No. [-] Scholar, but also the children's exam.

To go to the exam, your identity needs to be verified by the Ministry of Rites. When people see that your name is "Qi Zhinian", who would dare to let you take the exam.

If you want to change your name, you have to go to a special yamen, so how do you go at this time?Even if it can be changed, what is the surname and first name?These can only be planned after leaving Kyoto in the future.

If you go to live in a foreign country and live there for more than one year, you can re-settled in the locality, and then you can change your name again. Now it’s hard to think about what name to change when you think about it.

However, Qi Zhinian is full of energy, one more knowledge, there are many paths, besides, he is also a studious person.

He went out to get some medicine and came back. Before the time came, he hurriedly made some lamps. In the evening, the mother and daughter of Lin's family prepared their things and came to his door to call him to go with them.

The mother and daughter of the Lin family were pushing a cart with pots, bowls, tables, stools and other items. Both mother and daughter were used to doing these things, with slight sweat on their foreheads and simple smiles on their faces.

Qi Zhinian felt a little distressed, he asked them to wait for a quarter of an hour, then he ran to the entrance of the alley and rented a donkey cart.

The mother and daughter of the Lin family didn't even say it was a waste of money.

Even if the price of everything is high during the Chinese New Year, and renting a donkey cart for a whole night is only a tael of silver, what is this to my former self?Although they are poor now, they have passed the most difficult time. Qi Zhinian firmly believes that he can earn more money. The mother and daughter of the Lin family take such good care of them, what a donkey cart is!

He even paid 20 taels directly until the Shangyuan Festival.

He had already paid the money, and the mother and daughter of the Lin family couldn't say anything more. They turned their faces away, and the mother and daughter were also secretly wiping tears.

Seeing this, Qi Zhinian and Mother Fan felt distressed.

Orphans and widows, how can life be easier?

After clearing up their mood, Qi Zhinian and the mother and daughter of the Lin family happily loaded all their things into the cart, hoisted the cart behind the donkey cart, and headed out of the city.

Stalls outside the city also have to pay rent, [-] cents a night, the place chosen by the Lin family mother and daughter yesterday, there are not many vendors around, according to them, there is still a lot of open space next to them, Qi Zhinian will not worry about having no place to set up a stall .

The result may be because last night everyone found out that the Lin family's mother and daughter's business is doing well, and today all the vacant land near her stall has been robbed!

Qi Zhinian had no choice but to rent a booth far away from them.

Coincidentally, the booth that Qi Zhinian rented was just across from where Tang Huaer was bought last night. In fact, the location here is relatively good, and the market is relatively tight, because this side of the street is relatively bleak, and today people all go to He was able to rent this seat only when the Lin family's mother and daughter flocked.

Qi Zhinian quickly put on the little tiger mask, and now no one will recognize him!

During the festival, there were quite a few people wearing masks on the street, so it wasn't awkward for him to do so.

The little brother driving the donkey cart helped him set up the lamp stand, and then hung a dozen lights on it, and the place became brightly lit in an instant. Even the little brother driving the cart smiled and said, "It looks good."

The sky is getting darker, and the number of people on the street is gradually increasing. Qi Zhinian has never done such a job, and some of them are not very good at attracting customers. Tanghua's aunt didn't come here today, so there were very few people here, and it was very deserted.

Qi Zhinian was not in a hurry, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people in the Lin family's small stall, there was really no place for him to stand, maybe he would put down his own stall to help out.

He simply had all the lamps here, which were very bright, so he sat on the small bench and took out the herbal medicine book given by Huanglian to read.The book lists no less than a hundred kinds of herbs from common to precious, and Qi Zhinian reads them with gusto.

After he read halfway through, he basically memorized the names and effects of the herbs he had read.

"Four sides mountain stream shrimp playing in the water——"

Suddenly someone read the lantern riddle he made, it means business!

He quickly put down the book and was about to get up, but just when he raised his head, he stopped when he saw the person standing in front of the booth.

The person in front of him is Qi Huai.

Apparently he didn't recognize Qi Zhinian, he stretched out his hand, took down the wintersweet lantern from the lamp stand, looked at the paper sign on the lamp, and said slowly: "Shrimps playing in the water all around is 'thinking'. "
