Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 201 Grace and Power

Song Ying looked at the pair of slightly cloudy light brown eyes that exuded a captivating coldness, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.

She quickly understood what County Lady Shun'an meant. The murder for money referred to the person who locked her in the kitchen, while the frame-up was a warning to her that she was the one who staged the show and was the thief crying "stop thief".

Shunan County Lady quickly put away her fierce expression and arranged future matters: "I originally wanted to wait until the small kitchen in the courtyard was completely prepared before using it, but now I can't wait any longer, so I'll use it first.

Your hand is injured, and it is inconvenient for you to work. You should rest for two days, but you and your disciple are the only ones in the mansion who can make medicinal food, so you should persevere for the next two days."

Song Ying had no objection. The pain in her hand did not affect her work. When she was at home, she had to go out to work even if her hand was injured or she felt dizzy due to a high fever.

She was ready to work hard despite the pain, but she didn't want Shun'an County Lady to say, "You just talk on the sidelines, and let others do the actual work. Chuntao, you come and cooperate with her."

When hearing the first half of the sentence, Song Ying was actually a little worried. The Shen Mansion was hiring temporary workers because Doctor Lin was too busy to handle it, but she was now Doctor Lin's apprentice.

As the saying goes, a disciple should do the hard work for his master. It is only natural for an apprentice to work for his master. But it is not reasonable for him to receive temporary wages.

On the second day of her apprenticeship, Song Ying raised this issue to Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin told her not to worry about it, so Song Ying never mentioned it again.

Now her odd jobs have been stopped, and when her hand heals, Song Ying won't ask for wages when she works again.

However, she knew what was more important and was only a little worried. If she were asked to choose, she would definitely choose to be an unpaid apprentice without hesitation, and would even be willing to pay tuition.

But after hearing what Princess Shun'an said next, Song Ying knew that he had thought too much. Chuntao was a second-class maid in Princess Shun'an's courtyard, and her monthly salary was also one hundred coins. In the mansion, not to mention the servants, even the masters treated her differently.

Helping their master and apprentice in making medicinal food was a good job with little pay for other people, but it was a demotion for Chuntao.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Ying and Chuntao went to the small kitchen in the main courtyard.

She counted the ingredients and herbs she would need, then smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble Sister Chuntao next."

"It's all for the old lady's health." After a pause, Chun Tao continued, "If I could be as smart as my sister and learn one or two medicinal recipes, I would benefit from them for the rest of my life."

Song Ying was a thoughtful person to begin with, and during the time she had stayed in the Shen residence, she had seen a lot of people beating around the bush with each other. When she heard this, she knew that Chuntao was hinting that she wanted to learn how to make medicinal food and hoped that she could teach her.

Chuntao was a second-class maid, but she still wanted to learn how to make medicinal food. Song Ying admired her ambition because she was also such a person.

Therefore, she hesitated for only a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister is so smart, she will definitely be able to learn it."

Her goal is to become a doctor who cures diseases and saves lives, not to make a living by making medicinal food for people all her life, and she doesn't have to worry about starving herself to death by teaching her apprentice.

Moreover, his own master was generous in teaching others, so Song Ying naturally wanted to learn his master's noble virtues.

Chuntao was overjoyed when she heard this, and felt even more grateful for his friendly attitude towards her.

At that moment, one of them taught carefully while the other learned seriously, and they were having a lot of fun.

When Mother Zhu came in, she saw such a harmonious scene. She felt relieved and had a better impression of the two people.

She coughed lightly twice, and the two people who were immersed in teaching and learning noticed that someone had come.

Seeing her, Chuntao wiped it quickly and said with a smile: "Mother Zhu, why are you here?"

"The old lady was concerned about Miss Song Ying's burns, so she asked me to bring this box of scar-healing cream."

She looked at Song Ying and said with a smile, "With your master here, we don't need to worry about the medicine for the injury.

You are a girl, and it is not good to have scars on your hands. This scar removal cream was given by the emperor in the palace. It is very effective in removing scars. Once the wound has healed, you can apply it once in the morning and once in the evening. It will ensure that there is no scar left."

Song Ying naturally loves beauty. In the past, she had no choice but to make do with many things. Now that she can leave no scars, that would be the best.

She smiled and declined a few times before accepting it.

Mother Zhu took out four more silver ingots and said, "This is twenty taels of silver. The old lady said that you were injured and you should get some good treatment. The rules of our family are there, and the quota cannot be changed casually. Take this money and go out and buy whatever you want to eat, or pay the kitchen to make it."

Song Ying thought that the rules were difficult to change, and Aunt Lian had changed so many rules.

She was complaining in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and replied, "Thank you for your trouble, old lady."

Mother Zhu smiled appropriately and said, "Do your job well. If there is anything, I will take care of it. You won't be wronged."

Song Ying was busy praising Lady Shun'an for how she treated her servants kindly and how she was fair and strict. She originally wanted to praise her for her good management of the household, but when she thought of Feng Heyuan's arrogance, she was worried that praising this would make Mother Zhu think she was being sarcastic, so she didn't say it.

Mother Zhu left very satisfied.

Under Song Ying's command, the medicinal diet was carried out in an orderly manner. When it was almost done, the only thing left to do was to watch the fire, and the two of them started chatting casually.

Suddenly, someone ran over from outside, so fast that Song Ying and Chuntao couldn't see who it was.

After a while, Mother Zhu was seen with a sullen face, hurriedly leaving with a few maids.

Song Ying and Chun Tao looked at each other, both curious and worried.

Too many bad things have happened in the past two days. Judging from Zhu's mother's attitude, it is definitely not a good thing.

Thinking about the health of County Lady Shun'an, Song Ying couldn't help but sigh. He was angry and anxious every day, and never had a moment of peace. No wonder County Lady Shun'an's health couldn't get better.

After the medicinal food was ready, it was sent to Ninghui Hall and served to Princess Shun'an. Then Song Ying wanted to go back to her own courtyard, but Doctor Lin stopped her.

"I'll read it, and you write the pulse case."

Write a pulse case!

Song Ying's eyes lit up and he responded quickly. Feeling the pulse is a very important part of medical skills. Although it was just written and did not teach how to feel the pulse, Song Ying was also very excited. He felt like he had made another step forward in his medical studies.

Chuntao looked on with envy and then left on her own.

She was originally a maid in the main courtyard and had familiar sisters. So when Song Ying was about to go to the temporary kitchen to get food at noon, Bi Tao gossiped with her, "Do you know where Mother Zhu went just now?"

Song Ying shook her head and asked curiously, "Where did you go?"

"The Fifth Miss went to Fengheyuan and yelled that she wanted to sell Aunt Lian out. I heard that she was so angry with Aunt Lian that she slapped the Fifth Miss and scolded her for being disrespectful to her elders."
