Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 163 Poria cocos and Atractylodes macrocephala

Listening to Fuling talking about her family's education, she seemed to be so excited that she couldn't stop. It was really hard to associate her with the person who was so dull and dazed when she first came in.

Thinking that Fuling had been influenced by her family since she was a child, doing various royal projects with them, Wang Jinyi asked with some anticipation:

“Can you draw a picture like this?”

"What kind is it, miss?"

See, that's the difference.

“It’s just a rendering of an ordinary house.”

"Miss, do you want to build in the north or south? Do you have any requirements?"

Oh my god! I felt like I was stumped by the examinee.

"Well, how about this? Draw an architectural rendering of this main hall."

"Miss, can I go out and paint?"

This is a professional attitude. People will take it seriously as soon as you mention it casually.

Qingyu suddenly heard the young lady calling her, and quickly woke up from her admiration for the young lady. She hurried to help Fuling. She first helped Fuling with the study, and then they came back and carried a big chair to the outside of the main hall.

Looking at Bai Shu who was still looking at the ground with his head slightly lowered, Wang Jinyi asked:

"Tell me about yourself too!"

Bai Zhu then raised his head.

"Young lady..."

Wang Jinyi interrupted Bai Zhu:

"Call me Miss from now on."

Bai Zhu quickly responded:

"Yes, young lady, no, young lady!"

Seeing that Wang Jinyi was still waiting for her to speak, she continued:

“My family were originally royal herbalists, and they spent all year running in the mountains. As long as I could walk, I would follow my family. I didn’t know anything else but herbs.

When I was ten years old, my mother sent me to the Cheng family's residence and told me to follow the young lady. "

"Are you literate?"

"I know a little bit of words. Most of them were learned after my young lady got married. Oh! After my wife married into the Wang family, we learned from each other. It was mainly Fuling who taught me."

"What kind of books do you usually read?"

"Miss, we have not looked through Madam's desk. We have only read the books we brought from home. My books are all herbal medicines."

In order to prove himself, Bai Zhu quickly took out a tiny booklet from his pocket and held it in both hands.

"Miss, this is the book."

As he spoke, he quickly opened the booklet to prove himself. Zhu Yu took it and passed it to the young lady.

Zhu Yu took the opportunity to look at Bai Zhu carefully. Wang Jinyi looked at Zhu Yu's actions and knew that Zhu Yu was less confident than herself. After all, Zhu Yu was only 7 years old and she was the head of a room. But the newcomers were two girls of sixteen or seventeen years old. Presumably, no one could be confident.

Wang Jinyi thinks it’s time to help her. She has no experience in this area. Let me give you confidence!

"Zhu Yu."

"Miss."

"Bai Shu, this is the manager's job in my house. From now on, you will follow her instructions."

Bai Zhu knelt down to salute Zhu Yu and called out, "Master."

Wang Jinyi saw that Zhu Yu's waist was straightened up and her spirit was lifted again. Wang Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief for Zhu Yu.

For the young Zhu Yu, every period of growth is difficult, and all I can do is to support her as much as possible.

Zhu Yu even forgot to return the greeting and just stood there. Wang Jinyi glanced at Zhu Yu unintentionally, she seemed a little excited and proud.

Wang Jinyi began to turn the pages of a booklet attentively. This was a diagram of the classification of Chinese herbal medicines. There were more than a thousand kinds of medicines classified by natural properties, and more than five hundred kinds of medicines classified by functional properties...

Poria cocos and Atractylodes macrocephala are two professionals with potential. Their future development will probably depend on how much space their master gives them!

Wang Jinyi was busy looking at the classification of Chinese herbal medicines. Bai Zhu looked at the young lady seriously. It was her first time to come to the Wang family and also her first time to meet the young lady. She had never heard of Wang Jinyi before. When she heard the young lady talking to Fuling just now, she didn't think much about it and just thought it was a child learning to manage things.

When she looked up and saw that the young lady was such a young child, she was a little surprised. It was this child who had just asked questions in an orderly manner and was even able to test Poria cocos.

Shouldn't children of this age act like a spoiled brat and wait for adults to coax them? Why does this little guy give people the feeling of an adult?

Bai Zhu blinked and felt that his feeling was not wrong.

Wang Jinyi just asked:

"Have you seen these herbs and mineral medicines?"

"No, I've only seen part of it."

"I heard there are four kinds of Chinese medicine, what are they?"

Wang Jinyi asked as she looked through the classification of herbs.

Bai Zhu felt that this was a test from his master, so he answered respectfully:

"There are Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, dried grass and Codonopsis pilosula."

"I heard someone say..."

Wang Jinyi seemed to be awakened, and a picture suddenly popped into his mind.

It was during a hiking trip with Chen Zhiyuan. After he was exhausted, Chen Zhiyuan always tried to find Chinese medicine to replenish his qi and blood. All Wang Jinyi's knowledge of Chinese medicine came from Chen Zhiyuan. He often recited it by heart:

"Chicken stewed with angelica nourishes the blood, tangerine peel and ginkgo regulate qi and calm the mind, rhubarb and mirabilite relieve constipation and purge heat, angelica and Chuanxiong nourish the blood, red dates and white peony root nourish the spleen and blood..."

"I told you not to walk barefoot on the ground but you just wouldn't listen. Cold starts from the feet and disease comes from the mouth, but you just wouldn't listen. ..."

I remember that at that time, I always felt that he was nagging like an old lady, but now I wish that this nagging voice was right beside me. Chen Zhiyuan, where are you? Do you still care about me as much as before? ...

Wang Jinyi slowly came back to his senses and found that Bai Zhu was still looking at him, so he asked:

"Is this something passed down from your family?!"

Wang Jinyi knew that such skills and craftsmanship were mostly inherited from family members. Every family had its own special heritage, which was usually not shown to others. Bai Zhu must have trusted him today because he could have handed it over to him.

In fact, Wang Jinyi was overthinking. Bai Shu initially wanted to explain that he had not read the young lady's book and had seen through Wang Jinyi. But he also felt that Wang Jinyi might not be able to understand it. However, the facts proved that Bai Shu had underestimated the young lady.

Wang Jinyi felt that this kind of inheritance restricted the development of special skills and made it difficult to discover people with special understanding and talents. However, he was confined to this small courtyard, and the people who could manage themselves had no ability to participate in major events! Alas!

"Can you treat patients?"

"No, I am a pharmacist, not a doctor."

Wang Jinyi understood what Bai Zhu meant. She was a pharmacist, not a doctor. Old Doctor Zheng was a top talent among doctors, but when it came to identifying medicines, he was probably not as good as Bai Zhu.

Wang Jinyi suddenly asked:

"What time is Zhu Yu?"

"Miss, it's almost time."

"Okay! Zhu Yu will take her downstairs to get her things, check out their house, and clean up."

"Miss, do the two of them live together?"

Wang Jinyi knew what Zhu Yu meant. In the Wang family, those who lived alone were head maids, those who lived with two people were second-class maids, and those who lived together were rough maids and old women. Zhu Yu wanted to know what rank these two maids were.
