Granny Zhou quickly placed the things next to A-Tian, ​​nodded and said, "Alright, I've heard about it. Although you're very young, you've already learned a lot of skills. From now on, everything for the Sixth Miss will be entrusted to you, and I'll just assist you from the side."

However, the delicate gold chain on the sixth young lady's ankle cannot be removed. The madam said it could only be taken off after the sixth young lady's marriage, by which time her figure and gait would be fully developed.

Ah Tian nodded, then took two long, thin grains of rice, drew a small dot on his earlobe, and began grinding them. While grinding, he said to Yin Zijing, who was lying down, "If you're tired, Miss, please rest! This grinding will take a long time..."

After an unknown amount of time, Yin Zijin had fallen into a deep sleep. A-Tian had already flattened the flesh on Yin Zijin's earlobe, then quickly pierced it with a sewing needle that had been heated by fire, and then threaded it with a needle and thread soaked in lard.

Ah Tian's technique was extremely fast and skillful. Yin Zijing only felt a sharp pain before Ah Tian had already finished everything.

Granny Zhou exclaimed from the side, "Ah Tian, ​​your technique is truly excellent! The Sixth Miss hasn't woken up at all."

Ah Tian smiled, the red mole between her brows appearing even more alluring. Ah Tian said softly, "Granny Zhou, please don't flatter me. Perhaps the young lady is tired after a busy morning..."

After finishing, A-Tian and Granny Zhou tidied up the things. Granny Zhou instructed, "A-Tian, ​​you take care of the Sixth Miss! Ruhe is taking care of that baby. I'm worried about her. I'll go check on her."

"You're a eunuch, just like a castrated man. I trust you completely." He then patted Ah Tian on the shoulder and left.

In the afternoon, after having a meal and drinking a bowl of cold medicine, Yin Zijing was clearly exhausted and lay listlessly on the bed. Since there was still some time, A-Tian began to teach Yin Zijing some precepts and rules for women. After a while, he started teaching Yin Zijing embroidery, since they hadn't started embroidering today's project yet.

Thus, Yin Zijin had been staying at Fu'an Temple for eight years. During these eight years, except for holidays, weddings, and funerals when Yin Zijin returned to the Yin family mansion, she usually stayed at Fu'an Temple and Yin Gui's clinic.

Many things happened in these eight years. Yin Jingyi and Yin Ziyue got married and had a child. Yin Ziyue married Zhang Bai and returned to Luoyang to live. Yin Jingyi married the daughter of the Du family, one of the four prominent families and seven prestigious clans.

Although the Du family came from humble beginnings and could not compare to the Yin family, they were still a distinguished family with excellent scholarship and many students. Furthermore, the Empress herself strongly advocated for their marriage.

Although the two did not live a life of constant affection after marriage, they treated each other with respect. Within eight years, Du gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yin Jingyi.

Meanwhile, her father, Yin Xu, rose higher and higher in official rank and was highly favored by the emperor. He also took two concubines, both of whom came from very high-ranking families, belonging to the seventh rank among the four most prestigious families for wives. Although the seventh rank families were of good standing, they were all from humble backgrounds. In order to climb the social ladder, they did not hesitate to make their daughters concubines to curry favor with Yin Xu.

Because of the extraordinary family backgrounds of these two concubines, Zhang dared not do anything underhanded. The two concubines then gave Yin Zijin two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Zhang was busy with household affairs every day, which made things much easier for Yin Zijin. Perhaps she was afraid that Yin Zijin's secret would be discovered, or perhaps she was too busy to care. In the eight years that followed, she rarely urged Yin Zijin to return to the Yin residence, but she provided her with the best of everything, from food and clothing to housing and transportation, and sent someone to deliver it to Fu'an Temple every month.

Yin Gui stayed in the capital and, over the course of eight years, opened his own clinic throughout the capital and surrounding provinces and counties. He also listened to some of Yin Zijin's ideas and suggestions, and his clinic business flourished...

When he had nothing else to do, His Highness the Crown Prince, Yin Jingyi, Yin Ziyao, Zhang Peng, and some other younger siblings would come to Fu'an Temple to visit him.

Over the course of eight years, Yin Zijin has changed a lot. Having studied medicine under Yin Gui, Yin Zijin's medical skills have become quite sophisticated. She is proficient in internal medicine, surgery, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine, and can perform surgeries and prescribe medicines with ease.

Yin Zijing had become quite proficient in playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, embroidery, music, dance, flower arranging, and tea tasting. In order to make Yin Zijing more like a woman, Zhang spared no expense in hiring experts from various industries to teach Yin Zijing these skills.

As for the precepts for women and the rules for women, Yin Zijin had memorized them perfectly and could recite them from memory without making a mistake.
