The next plan has been decided, and Yingge feels relieved. The next step is to get to know what this world is like.

The tail of the autumn heat is coming to an end, and the servants of the Liu family have also delivered winter clothes to keep out the cold.

Although she didn't have to do anything while staying at the Liu family's house, Xue couldn't sit still. Seeing that Yingge had gotten better in the past few days and could go to the fields, she began to take on some laundry from wealthy families as a living allowance. She left home early this morning as well.

Yingge was able to get out of bed and walk a long time ago. She was playing tumbling rope with Xiao Taohong in the yard while basking in the warm sun and asking her questions intentionally or unintentionally.

"What year is this?"

“This year is the Year of the Dragon.”

"What dynasty is it now?"

"Everyone says it's the Zhou Dynasty."

"What was the name of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty?"

Yingge asked some basic questions. The innocent little Taohong was still young and didn't care much about this information. The information Yingge obtained was limited, but she was not discouraged and asked as many questions as she could.

"How can ordinary people know the names of the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty at will? Master Yingge, please stop making things difficult for me." A strong and old voice came from outside the door.

Yingge looked up and saw that it was time for the court physician's daily routine consultation.

Yingge stood up and saluted.

Doctor Li, this is Doctor Li who has been treating the people in the Liu family for a long time. He is also the most famous doctor in the entire Mo City. It is said that Doctor Li’s ancestors had been imperial doctors for several generations. He is also kind and fair, and is very popular among people in Mo City.

I just answered Yingge's question. Actually, Doctor Li also expressed some dissatisfaction with Yingge. He was originally a doctor, and he didn't care much about saving the dying and healing the wounded. The key point was that every time he came to check on Yingge, Master Liu would give him many instructions, as if he was worried that his medical skills were not good enough and he couldn't cure this baby. In fact, Yingge was just too frightened, and she had temporary amnesia caused by cold and hunger. She would be fine after a good rest for a while. But Master Liu was afraid that Yingge would not get better, so he made a fuss about it every time. Doctor Li was already a man who knew his destiny. A doctor couldn't always treat one person, but later Doctor Li thought too much. He put other patients aside for the time being. Yingge was the most important. And he found that he couldn't leave this house later.

"Come on, stretch out your hand so I can see how your injury is healing."

"Yingge rolled up her sleeves, revealing her original skin color, which was fair and her slender wrists."

Doctor Li felt the patient's pulse for a while, stroked his nonexistent beard, and said quietly, "It's basically nothing serious. You can stop taking the medicine after a few more doses. Just rest and don't worry too much."

"At such a young age, you still have a lot to worry about!"

Yingge responded, then she pointed to a pot of tea on the table and poured a cup for Doctor Li herself.

Doctor Li didn't hesitate and just picked up the tea and drank it.

"Astragalus, Codonopsis, Roasted Licorice, Poria, Roasted Polygala, Fried Dates..."

"Wow, this tea is good. It looks like you put a lot of effort into making it. Where did you get it from?"

"Doctor Li, you are joking. I didn't find this. I matched her myself. The Liu family treated us well. They took good care of us on a daily basis. We were not deprived of food, clothing and other necessities."

Although it was not nice to speak ill of his master in front of the doctor in someone else's house, Yingge was telling the truth.

"You're not a doctor yourself, where did this prescription come from?"

"You probably know something about my situation. My father was in the army, fighting all year round and was always injured. He taught me this recipe when he came home from his vacation."

This was a bit nonsense. Yingge didn't even remember her own affairs, so how could she remember the prescription her father gave her? Doctor Li probably guessed something, but didn't expose her. After a while, he stood up and said goodbye.

Doctor Li also had his doubts in his heart. Recently, there were rumors among the neighbors that the son of the old friend of the Liu family was of humble origin. He was no longer the same as the former Master Liu. Originally of humble origin, most people thought he was timid and cowardly, and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future. But today, it seems that he is not in line with the rumors. He is well-mannered and knows the general situation. He knows when to advance and retreat. It turns out that rumors are not to be believed.

Yingge stood up and respectfully saw Doctor Li off. The two walked on the bluestone slabs, one on the left and one on the right. Doctor Li pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Has Master Yingge ever been to school?"

This question made Yingge a little unsure of how to answer. She thought for a moment and spoke cautiously. Her father had taught her some things in her early years and she knew a few big characters. She must have lived through the modern era. Otherwise, do you think anyone can be a killer? The requirements are also very high. As for the dynasty she traveled through, she observed that the costumes had elements of the Ming Dynasty and customs of the Song Dynasty. After she recovered from her illness, she saw several brushes scattered on the desk and guessed that she must have read here.

Perhaps the two of them had become somewhat familiar with each other during this period of time. Doctor Li then asked, "Does Master Yingge know about the rumors in the outside world?"

When these words came out, Yingge smiled slightly. She said, why would Dr. Li come to chat with him for no reason? It turns out that no matter how old a person is, they all love gossip.

"When my father first met and befriended Master Liu, he did not think of using his kindness to blackmail him in the future. I am not talented, but I know my situation. I am grateful that Master Liu liked me at first sight, so I dare not have any improper thoughts. Young people nowadays have their own preferences. It's just a matter between two kids. There is no need to make it so awkward."

"From what you said, Master Yingge doesn't accept this marriage?"

"The doll's problem should naturally be solved in the doll's way. I have already planned to explain the situation to Master Liu."

Doctor Li thought, whether what you said is true or just a show, if you are involved with the Liu family, you will be the one who suffers in the end if you lie. You should take care of yourself, little kid.

Yingge walked along the corridor and sent Doctor Li out of the courtyard. When she was about to go back, she heard a little kid next to her say, "Big brother, help me take down the kite." The kid, who looked about five or six years old, was staring at Yingge in a daze.

Yingge thought he was looking at her for a moment, until after a while she realized he was looking at the tree next to her. Yingge looked up in the direction of his gaze and saw that this was what he was talking about.

A kite with an eagle pattern was stuck on a branch on the treetop. Yingge looked up at herself, then looked around. The little kid had no followers, so it seemed that she had to go up by herself.

Yingge tapped the ground with his toes, and his figure floated up like smoke. In an instant, he jumped onto the treetop. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently lifted the kite, which fell obediently into his hands.

After getting the kite, the little kid happily went to find other playmates.

The other end of the courtyard was connected to the other houses of the Liu Mansion. After Yingge came down from the treetops, she realized that there was a slender boy standing next to her. He was wearing dark green clothes and was about 16 or 17 years old. There was a mole between his eyebrows, and he looked handsome, with a smile on his face, and seemed quite approachable.

Although Yingge had only been in Liu's house for a short time and had not met many people, he was not sure whether it was the person she had known before.

The young man looked at her and spoke slowly: "Your Qinggong is pretty good. I can see that you have practiced for several years. Do you practice martial arts every day?"

Not knowing whether the other party was a friend or foe, Yingge answered cautiously, "It's OK, just average. I practiced for a few years when my father was still alive."

After the boy finished speaking, he slowly continued to walk forward.

When Yingge returned to the house, she happened to meet a maid from the outer courtyard who came to look for Xiao Taohong.

"Master Yingge, your mother just came back. She is looking for Xiao Taohong to move some things."

Yingge wanted to ask a few more questions, but the maid seemed a little impatient and said randomly: "You are so old, and Xiao Taohong can't find it, you can also help move it. Your own mother doesn't even feel sorry for you, you are really useless."

Yingge had always known that when she and her mother came to the Liu Mansion, except for Master Liu who remembered the friendship with his dead father, everyone else was treated like they were poor relatives from the countryside begging for money, and were always looked down upon. She did not explain too much, asked where she should move things, and walked towards the courtyard alone. Halfway there, she saw a pair of servants about fourteen or fifteen years old in front of her. She took out two or three big coins from her sleeve and said, "Two young men, can you do me a favor?" The two servants looked at her like fools.

"So it's you, Master Yingge. We don't have time. You asked us for help. Do you know who we belong to?"

Yingge didn't care about their attitude. She just stretched out her palm, which was filled with a few large coins. She said, "I just recovered from a serious illness. I heard a maid from the outer courtyard tell me that my mother was looking for my maid to move things. But the maid was young and playful. I don't know where she ran away. I wanted to move it myself, but I just recovered from a serious illness. I am already out of breath after walking here. Please help my mother. This is the reward. I'll treat you to tea."

As he said this, he placed the copper coins in their hands.

The two servants pushed and shoved each other for a while, and finally happily accepted the copper coins and went to the second lady's housekeeper, the fifth aunt.

After Yingge arranged all this, she sat steadily in a secluded place and waited.

There was a sound of light footsteps behind him. Yingge turned around and saw that it was the young man he had just met. It turned out that he had not left and had been following him.

"You don't look like you've just recovered from a serious illness. I don't know who picked up the kite just now."

The young man looked at him with contempt. He obviously had the strength but he was unwilling to help his mother. There were rumors outside that a poor relative had come to the Liu Mansion, who was lazy and wanted to interfere in the marriage of the young lady of the Liu Mansion. Today, it turned out that the rumors were true.

The young man felt unlucky. Originally, he saw that she was quite good at picking up kites and was an interesting person, but now he saw that she was just a person with a reputation for nothing.

Gone, gone.

The young man walked forward, and before he had gone far, he heard a commotion ahead.

What's going on? What happened?

The boy turned around and looked at Yingge again, examining him.

Yingge's face remained as calm as ever, without a trace of abnormality on her face.

Next to the compound, Steward Zhang looked seriously at the people kneeling on the ground, and then at the servants peeking out of the compound, and said angrily, "Beat them, give them a few big sticks first. I think these people have too little time to do on weekdays. They don't have a good leisure time, but they do these dirty things all day long."

Several people kneeling on the ground wailed and begged for mercy.

"Butler Zhang, Butler Zhang, this is really none of our business. We just came here to help others get something, but who knew we would be mistaken for perverts? We are innocent, Butler Zhang, we are wronged."

The two women kneeling on the ground were crying sweetly, and the servants looked dejected.

"My sister and I are second-class maids in the Second Madam's house. We came to Fifth Aunt's room today to get something. But we happened to run into a maid outside cleaning the courtyard. She accidentally got her clothes wet. We thought it would be indecent to go out like this, so we borrowed clothes from the little sister at the time to change. But who would have thought... Wuwuwuwu, wuwuwuwu... We are too embarrassed to face anyone."

The maid accused angrily.

The kneeling guys also argued, "We are here to help Master Yingge get his things. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. You can also ask Madam Xue."
