"We can just eat outside in the pergola, why do we need to build a separate room?" Shen Xing said.

"It's OK when it's hot, but when it's cold or the weather is bad, we can eat inside."

Although this place is located in the south, there are winters here. It is a bit cold in winter, so it is better to eat in the house. Besides, since it has been built, it should be bigger, so it can be used for other purposes.

"I understand." Shen Liang said.

Shen Li added: "And second brother, you'd better build the room where I make the ointment first. I'm afraid that next time when the day comes, there will be no place to make it."

"clear."

After the discussion, the family went back home, took some clothes and daily necessities, and returned to Qin Yu's house.

Shen Li saw Shen Xing taking the quilt and couldn't help wondering: "Third brother, doesn't Qin Yu have a quilt?"

"No, that guy doesn't seem to be used to sleeping with others. My second brother and I slept in the bed last night, and he slept in the pharmacy. We have to stay at someone else's house for a while, and we can't ask them to give up their bed to us. I plan to see if we can make a bed on the floor or something, and let my second brother sleep in the pharmacy and give the bed to others. Looking at his body, he is not someone who can withstand the tossing and turning."

Shen Li nodded. The male lead must be a little special.

In the evening, the rain gradually stopped. The stuffiness before the rain was gone, and the air was so fresh that people couldn't help but want to take a few more breaths.

Liu Dahua and Qin Yueying were in the room. She took the cloth and thought about making clothes when she had nothing to do. Qin Yueying admired her embroidery skills and wanted to learn from her. The two of them were like good friends, one teaching and the other learning, and sometimes they would discuss with each other.

Shen Liang and Shen Xing were sitting at the table in the yard, discussing how to build the house, who to hire for help, which carpenter to find, and how to save some money.

The villagers build their houses with wood cut directly from trees in the mountains.

Shen Li had no right to get involved in these matters, so she went to the pharmacy.

"Are you busy?"

"I'm not busy. Is there something?" Qin Yu put down the book in his hand and asked.

Shen Li looked at the title of the book: "Are you also reading books like this?" Her elder brother has this book, which is about policy essays.

"I can't watch?"

"No, I just didn't expect it. I thought you only read medical books or something."

"I have been learning calligraphy and reading since I was three years old. If... maybe I will take part in the imperial examination in the future."

Shen Li knew what he hadn't said. In the original book, he was being hunted, which was why he was hiding to avoid revenge. If this hadn't happened, he might have taken the path of imperial examinations. Moreover, the original book also said that he was indeed a genius. As the male protagonist, he was naturally good in all aspects.

Pretending not to know, Shen Li said: "If you want, you can join now."

"Now I want to study medicine more."

"Oh, I came here to tell you that I am sorry for disturbing you during this period of time."

"No, my mother likes you very much, and now I can chat with your mother very well."

"I see that they not only get along well, but also have common interests. Also, I plan to rebuild the house, and I don't know exactly how long it will take to finish. How about I help you during this time? Otherwise, it would be unsafe to live here for nothing."

Qin Yu glanced at Shen Li: "You? What can you do?"

"Don't underestimate me. If you don't know how to do it, you can teach me. I have a good memory. Besides, I know all the common medicinal herbs in the mountains."

"Okay, this is a book that records medicinal materials. It contains all the common medicinal materials. If you can memorize it within three days, I will believe in you." Qin Yu pointed to a book on the table.

Shen Li glanced at the book on the table, then looked at Qin Yu: "Hey, I just want to help you. Since I live in your house, I'm sorry, why are you making things difficult for me?"

"Really? It's not that you have a good memory. Besides, if you want to help me, you must know medicine. If you don't want to help me in this area, do you want to serve me personally?" After saying this, Qin Yu looked her up and down and then showed a look of disgust.

Shen Li felt a little embarrassed when he heard about the personal service, but before the heat was completely gone, he saw his expression and all of a sudden he lost all emotion except for his unwillingness to accept it: "You wish for it, isn't it just reciting medical books? In three days, you will be slapped in the face. Also, who are you looking down on? Don't think that just because you look better, you can look down on those who look..."

After thinking about it, it seems that this statement is not quite right. Even if she is not that good-looking, she cannot admit: "I am good-looking."

Qin Yu was originally teasing her, but after seeing her reaction, he couldn't help laughing: "Oh..."

Shen Li was speechless. He didn't bother to argue with him and left the room with the medical book.

Watching her leave, Qin Yu put away his smile. In fact, she was quite pretty, especially her eyes, which were sparkling and very attractive.

In the next few days, Shen Li was memorizing medical books. Not only that, sometimes, she would go to the pharmacy to get some medicinal materials from the books for comparison. Seeing the real thing is always more impressive than looking at pictures, and there will be no deviation.

She also asked Shen Xing to go to Hongru Academy in the county to tell Shen Han that everything was fine at home and he didn't need to worry. She was afraid that Shen Han would be worried about the people at home, and if he asked for leave to come back, it would delay his studies.

Afterwards, Shen Liang and Shen Xing bought bricks and tiles, and also bought a small amount of wood to make doors and windows or tables and cabinets. Maybe the wood from the mountain was not suitable, and Shen Li didn't quite understand the details.

The carpenter has also been found. It was Shen Liang who found him because he thought the carpenter's craftsmanship was the best in the area.

There were also helpers, and they found a few of them, all of whom they had helped before. The villagers were simple and honest, so they were naturally willing to help. Next, they would go to the mountains to cut trees to make beams for the house and so on.

Liu Dahua would also worry about building the house, but seeing that Shen Liang and Shen Xing had arranged it very well, she felt relieved. In her spare time, she studied embroidery with Qin Yueying.

Shen Li completely ignored all these and just focused on memorizing the medical book. She didn't want Qin Yu to look down on her. If that happened, he would not only dislike her appearance but might also laugh at her IQ.

Three days passed in a flash, and she had memorized it completely. When it came to memorizing things, she had never relied on anyone else. Not only that, she also knew all the herbs in Qin Yu's pharmacy and even remembered their effects.

"Have you memorized it?"

Shen Li said confidently, "Of course."

Qin Yu randomly flipped a page in the book and pointed at the medicinal herbs on it and said, "Angelica dahurica."

Shen Li walked to the shelf where medicinal herbs were placed and picked up the Angelica dahurica. "It can dispel wind and dampness, relieve pain, reduce swelling and discharge pus. It can be used for colds, headaches, brow pain, nasal congestion, and toothaches."

Qin Yu turned another page: "Notopterygium wilfordii."
