Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

However, there had been a surge in wounded soldiers recently, and the sun hadn't been shining enough, so Doctor Jiang had snatched a lot of the cane wood from Qiaoqiao to boil water for disinfection, leaving him without wood to build the final room. It should have been put on hold, but when the common people heard the Yibingshangfang was nearing completion, they pressed the government office hard, running to the gate day and night, shouting and making a fuss, fearing chaos would break out if the gates weren't opened.

But not only was it not completed, there was also no doctor. After all, Wu County was a poor place, and the government could not even afford to support a doctor. At this critical juncture, no neighboring county would be willing to lend out its life-saving doctor.

Baizhi was worried that something might go wrong, but she didn't expect that the next day, a group of doctors came to the yamen in a large group to report for duty. With them came a huge amount of medicinal herbs that Qing County had paid to the city of Weizhou as loans.

This is one of the food supplies sent by Fang Zhiheng.

Later, Bai Zhi found out after asking Lord Sun. A few days ago, Wei Fuguang had told Lord Sun that she would send some doctors. Lord Sun had initially dismissed this idea – knowing that Lady Wei meant well, but at such a critical moment, Ningzhou was in dire need of doctors. Even Lord Zheng might not be able to find a solution. How could a powerless little girl like her turn a hair into a doctor?

Who would have thought that it would actually happen!

Lord Sun treated these doctors who helped the poor and needy like his own mothers, arranging accommodations for them in the city's finest inn, complete with dedicated guards, cooks, and laundry. The doctors, overwhelmed with gratitude to Lord Sun, were even more diligent in treating the people.

There was not enough wood, so the construction work was forced to slow down. Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi only had one hour of work every day. They had planned to go to the Yibingshangfang to help out for the rest of the time. However, Baizhi saw that the two children had been working non-stop for more than a month, so she forced them to rest for two days before letting them go out.

On the night of the funeral of Lanlan and the old woman at the charity cemetery, Baizhi and Qiaoqiao agreed that after the construction was complete, Cheng Mao would take her and Chuqi back immediately. Wu County was small, and two sick and injured wards were more than enough. Now that they could return soon, and with the White Tiger Army's continuous victories, Baizhi was in high spirits. She worked with gusto, even Doctor Jiang, who rarely praised her.

That day, Bai Zhi took advantage of the lunch break, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and ran to the nearby Yibingshangfang to see the two children.

The Yibingshangfang was utterly overcrowded, with lines stretching out over ten long, far more than the number of customers Chu Yunchuan had attracted when he was a waiter at Wenxianglou. Bai Zhi saw Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi playing with a string with a few children. At the doctor's table at the end of the nearest long line, a white-haired old man kept glancing over as he examined a patient. It looked like one of the children was his grandchild.

"Qiaoqiao, the seventh day."

Bai Zhi approached and asked, "Aren't you an assistant? Why are you interested in children?"

Lin Chuqi wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, keeping her eyes on the children to prevent them from running around. "Brother Cheng can probably put some medicine in there. We can't even identify the herbs, so we can't really help. We can only come and look after the children."

"Brother Liu even laughed at us, saying we grew up in Qing County but didn't know about herbs." Qiaoqiao spread her hands. "So what if we grew up in Qing County? Even in Ningzhou, there are people who don't eat steamed buns. Besides, what's the point of us, a craftsman and a scholar, knowing herbs?"

Lin Chuqi: "You should learn some herbs. You cut your hand and don't know what to use to stop the bleeding."

"Wouldn't it stop the bleeding if I sucked on it?"

“…You really don’t mind being dirty.”

"You can't even remember the herb that stops bleeding." Bai Zhi patted Qiaoqiao's braid, "I taught you before that the juice from the leaves of the sage vine can stop bleeding. How can you have such a bad memory at such a young age?"

"The teacher also taught me that burning the leaves of the sedge vine into ashes and mixing it with water can cure diarrhea." Lin Chuqi said seriously, "It's because the sedge vine is full of treasures, it blooms and bears fruit easily and can grow anywhere, so the late princess loved it the most and planted it everywhere. The other day, the teacher talked about the late princess, the late king, and then King Jing. The homework was a narrative essay, and we even had a fight over this essay..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly choked and his head drooped.

Bai Zhi thought Lin Chuqi was dizzy from being in the sun, so she hurriedly asked, "Chuqi? What's wrong? Are you dizzy?"

Qiaoqiao was nervous for a moment, then suddenly laughed mercilessly: "He's dizzy, he must be remembering that time when he said in front of Big Brother Yun that Big Brother Yun was not as good as the late king, and he's embarrassed!"

Lin Chuqi was obviously hit by Qiaoqiao's words, and she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Is it okay if I don't think so now?"

Bai Zhi became interested: "What do you think now? Tell me about it."

Qiaoqiao echoed and urged: "Hurry up and tell me."

"Hmm..." Lin Chuqi lowered her eyelashes, then looked up after a moment and said seriously, "In this battle, the barbarians were in the dark, while the White Tiger Army was in the open. The barbarians were malicious and poisonous. If it weren't for the large stone formation, half of Ningzhou would have been lost to the barbarians by now. This is one of the reasons why Brother Yun is competent. Brother Yun forced the surrounding counties and prefectures to protect the supply routes to Ningzhou. After a month of fighting, even Wu County, which is closest to the battlefield, has only been short of meat but not food, and there is no shortage of daily necessities. This is the second reason why he is competent."

Qiaoqiao's face was full of disgust: "Can't you be more frank and honestly praise Brother Yun for his good work?"

Lin Chuqi said seriously, "The previous king set an example for us. He built up the Thirteen States, where the young were well educated and the elderly were well cared for. No one had to worry about food or clothing. Brother Yun still can't compare to him in this respect."

Qiaoqiao: “…”

As the three of them chatted, a white-haired old man, leaning on a cane and carrying a medicine bag, came to pick up his granddaughter. Qiaoqiao quickly tidied the doll's messy hair and handed it back to the old man.

After the grandfather and grandson left, Bai Zhi asked the two children, "What time do you have dinner? Why is the doctor still seeing patients?"

When the topic of cooking was mentioned, Lin Chuqi woke up as if from a dream, took a deep breath, and hurriedly said "I'm going to cook" before running into the house.

Bai Zhi chuckled: "Why is he picking up his old tricks?"

Qiaoqiao simply sat on the ground so as not to miss the children playing at play. Then, like a magic trick, she pulled out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and started chatting with Baizhi while eating them. "There are not many cooks here, so the government offered to pay him five cents a day to work as a cook here."

Bai Zhi also sat down and asked: "How did the government know that Chuqi would cook?"

"How else can I know? He told me himself! The other day, a few ladies asked him if he had a lover, and he said no, so they kept asking him about his past. I guess they were trying to find him a date. You know Chuqi, he's always been a bitch to me at home, but he's too polite to outsiders. In no time, he told me everything about how he learned to cook from his godmother, how he passed the imperial examination last year, and how he has a mother and two sisters at home."

"and then?"
