Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Liuli came up to Ye Jintang and looked through the medical books with her.

"This is very simple. Just memorize the entire book and know what each herb looks like, what's special about it, and what its medicinal properties are."

"After you memorize the two books, I will take you to the herbal medicine shop to buy herbs one by one and teach you how to distinguish good herbs from bad ones."

After just a few words, Ye Jintang was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Liuli brought two books, each of which was two fingers thick. There were pictures and texts on each page, and half of them were covered with dense words.

Ye Jintang could barely recognize some of the words, while others were so scrawled that she couldn't even guess what they meant.

She felt like her hair was going to fall out if she tried to memorize these two books completely.

"Did you memorize so much when you first started learning medicine?"

"There are more than this. This is just the beginning. As the medical skills you learn become more and more profound, there will be more and more books you need to memorize."

"My family has a large number of recipes passed down from our ancestors. There are about a dozen books as thick as this one. When I just learned to read, my father began to teach me to memorize the recipes. It took me nearly 10 years to memorize them completely."

When talking about the past, Liuli showed a nostalgic look on her face.

If there hadn't been a sudden change in her family, she would definitely still be the innocent girl from the Lin family.

After calming down, Liuli showed a faint smile on her face.

"Fortunately, my father forced me to memorize the prescriptions. Otherwise, my family would have been in trouble and all the prescriptions would have been destroyed."

"I have memorized all the prescriptions in my mind. As long as I am alive, the Lin family's ancestral prescriptions will not be lost."

Ye Jintang gently held Liuli's hand and whispered to comfort her, "You can write down all these prescriptions and make two more copies just in case."

"Miss, this is a good idea. From today on, I will recite the medical book while I teach you medical skills."

"That's more than a dozen books. It would take a lot of effort to write them out word by word."

"No hurry, we have plenty of time."

After talking about medical books, Ye Jintang asked about Liuli's technique of raising Gu.

Although she was very afraid of snakes and insects, she was still very interested in the art of raising Gu.

"Poisons can also restrain each other. As long as we find the pattern and let them fight and devour each other, the one who wins in the end is the Gu King."

"Depending on the purpose, the poisonous insects raised are also different. The face-changing technique requires an eight-faced spider. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find the eight-faced spider in the mountains outside the city. I don't know how many caves I dug before I found it."

"Without the venom of the eight-faced spider, even if I am very powerful, I cannot complete the face-changing technique."

“That’s pretty amazing.”

Ye Jintang looked at Liuli's face and couldn't imagine what she looked like before.

As the two were talking, Xuetuan ran in from outside the house. It jumped lightly and landed steadily in Ye Jintang's arms.

"The little Persian cat is really beautiful, with a pair of eyes like blue glass balls. I'm afraid the girl must have spent a lot of money on it when she bought it."

"Oh? Is this a Persian cat? I don't think its white hair is long."

"There are many varieties of Persian cats. Xuetuan should be a relatively rare short-haired cat. I have seen one with a foreign merchant before. If I remember correctly, one seemed to cost 2000 taels of silver."

"And Xuetuan grows very fast, much bigger than the average Persian cat. I heard from foreign merchants that this short-haired Persian cat has snow leopard bloodline."

"2000 taels of silver, so expensive?"

Ye Jintang picked up Xuetuan and looked at its cute little face, thinking he had heard it wrong.

However, she had only kept Xuetuan with her for more than a month, and he had indeed grown a lot bigger than before.

Wait, that's not the most important thing.

The important thing is that the snowball was given to her by Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi gave Ye Jintang an expensive Persian cat, which made her very unhappy.

She hated owing favors to others the most. She felt that she had almost repaid the favor, but now she owed someone even bigger.

Xuetuan, who was held in Ye Jintang's arms, couldn't help meowing and kept nodding her palm with her head.

"You little fat cat, you only know how to act cute and eat dried fish every day. If you keep eating like this, you will become fat as a ball."

Although saying these words of disdain, Ye Jintang still picked up a wooden jar from the side, took out two small dried fishes from it, and handed them to Xuetuan to eat.

"Luzhu, take Xuetuan out to play. I have something else to do."

Touching Xuetuan’s little head, Ye Jintang was reluctant to give it to Luzhu.

Since she wants to learn medicine, she must calm down and not be distracted by material things.

On an autumn afternoon, Ye Jintang was concentrating on memorizing medicinal herbs, while Liuli opposite him was writing down the prescription with a pen and paper.

A stick of incense with the scent of osmanthus was lit in the room, and a wisp of green smoke slowly rose up and then dissipated.

Ye Jintang was engrossed in reading a medical book when he heard Gu Waner's voice coming from outside.

"Just now I heard from Madam Ji that the steward from the front yard brought back a lot of cloth and small items. I heard that they were all from overseas. How about we go and take a look together?"

Gu Wan'er's words were full of excitement, but Ye Jintang couldn't help but frown.

She had seen cloth from overseas at the East Market, but it was far inferior to the cloth from Tianqin, so she had no interest in joining in the fun.

"Cousin, you want to go to the front yard to see cousin Ziqiu, right? If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm busy here."

Ye Jintang exposed Gu Waner's little thoughts with one word, and Gu Waner's cheeks turned slightly red.

"No, if my cousin doesn't want to go, then I won't go either."

Gu Wan'er sat next to Ye Jintang, looked at the medical book in her hand, and asked about the book.

Memorizing requires concentration. How could Ye Jintang continue to memorize when Gu Wan'er keeps talking here?

She could only find a way to get rid of the person and continue reading.

Ye Jintang had already rejected Gu Waner so clearly, but she came again the next day.

The reason this time was that I wanted to go to Wen Ziqiu's study to see paintings.

Ye Jintang was so miserable because of her troubles that she was ready to scare her so that she would not bother her again in the future.

"Liuli, you said you wanted to see my anatomy skills. I'll have someone catch a few big toads and show you my skills."

"I have only heard of a great doctor who can perform anatomy, but unfortunately I have never been able to see one."

"If the young lady could teach me this unique skill, I might be able to use it to heal others in the future."

Some doctors in Xingnan City can perform simple surgeries, so Ye Jintang asked Zhou Cong to find a set of surgical tools.

At first she didn't have much hope, but when she looked at the more than 20 scalpels on the table, she couldn't help but sigh that the medical skills of the Tianqin Kingdom were much stronger than she had imagined.

There were more than 20 scalpels, each one was extremely sharp. She picked up one and gently cut it across the handkerchief. With almost no effort, a small cut was made on the handkerchief.

"So sharp?"

"Master, there is also a needle and thread. The man who sold me the knife said that catgut and a needle are best used to sew up wounds."

Zhou Cong opened a roll of white cloth, inside which were six needles of different sizes lined up in a row, with a large roll of catgut next to it.

The catgut is very well made, as thin as a hair, and very strong, making it perfect for suturing wounds.
