Chapter 190 Instigation
Early the next morning, Ying Bao still went to the martial arts training ground to spar with Jiang Jie.
Before noon, Erni ran over and told her little cousin that today the patriarch's family had invited a drama troupe to celebrate the patriarch's sixtieth birthday and they would perform in the afternoon.
"Let's go and have a look." Erni grabbed Yingbao and didn't forget to greet Chu Chu, "You come too!"
"You go ahead, I'll go later." Chu Chu was cooking for Master Zhang Meng and several children, and couldn't get away at the moment.
Erni followed her and pulled Yingbao to the threshing floor.
The threshing floor on the south slope is newly rolled, and the big stone roller is still placed beside it. Several children are climbing up and down here to play.
A small tent was set up on the other side of the threshing floor, and a strange man and woman with four children were packing their things.
Erni whispered: "Have you seen that tall guy? He plays the role of a martial arts student."
Ying Bao looked over and saw a tall and slender boy waving a red tassel gun.
"Isn't he good-looking?" Erni whispered to her little cousin, "Better-looking than Chu Yan."
Ying Bao didn't think the slender boy was very good-looking, but she didn't object.
These actors wear heavy makeup when acting in plays, and men can also dress up as women.
It would look good if the boy dressed up as a girl.
The two sisters watched from a distance for a while, then went back together.
In the afternoon, before the drama troupe started to perform, the threshing floor was already crowded with villagers, and even people from nearby villages came to join in the fun.
The villagers carried stools and took up positions. The innermost circle was the family of Patriarch Chen.
In order to watch the drama, Chun Niang prepared meals early, and after the family had finished eating, she hurriedly took the children to go with her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.
Yingbao didn't want to go, so she stayed at home alone.
She had seen every kind of show in her previous life, and this kind of straw troupe with rudimentary props and costumes was really not worth watching.
However, she can watch the excitement instead of watching the theater. The fence of her house is cool and there are few mosquitoes, which is perfect for enjoying the cool air and enjoying the scenery.
Ying Bao climbed up the stairs to the wall.
There is a bamboo bed and several mats placed on the wall, which the family moved up to enjoy the cool weather.
Sitting on the bamboo bed, letting the night gradually cover her, she could clearly see several lanterns hanging in the middle of the threshing floor, several actors playing flutes and flutes, and the other two performing something.
There is a cool breeze blowing on the wall, and fireflies float from time to time, flickering one after another.
Ying Bao's consciousness sank into the cave, and after inspecting it, she came out with an apple in her hand and gnawed on it.
The moon rose above the branches, then gradually climbed up to the top of the head. The drama finally ended, and the villagers reluctantly left.
Some simply stayed at the threshing floor and spread a torn mat on the ground. Several children wrapped themselves in an old sheet and lay on the mat to enjoy the cool air.
Ying Bao sat on the wall and paid attention to the scattered crowds, and suddenly noticed a few figures sneaking towards her orchard.
The figure didn't look like an adult, but rather like a group of children, and they were children from a foreign village.
Because the children in the village were in great awe of their father Jiang Sanlang and their little fairy boy, they did not dare to go to the orchard to pick them.
So these thieves must be brats from other villages.
Ying Bao sighed, stood up, and shouted in the direction of the orchard: "Catch the thief! Someone went to the orchard to steal fruit!"
The voice was sharp and condescending and spread far and wide.
She didn't even need to shout a second time, but she saw many people running towards the orchard, as if they were really going to catch the thief.
Ying Bao smiled evilly, shook the cattail leaf fan and got off the wall, and went back to the house to sleep.
The wind blows in the daytime, the scenery rushes to the west, and August arrives in the blink of an eye.
Yingbao has already identified the medicinal materials in Li Lang's Chinese medicine shop.
At the same time, he also checked the pulses of many patients to confirm their diagnosis, and also participated in writing prescriptions.
Mr. Li was very satisfied with his young apprentice's ability to understand, and often used her as an example to inspire his grandchildren.
Now Li Xihua didn't dare to slack off, and diligently endorsed the prescriptions every day.
On this day, Langzhong Li suddenly led the two girls into the medicine hall and said to his grandchildren and Yingbao: "She will also be an apprentice here in the future. You two should take care of her."
Ying Bao was stunned.
Why are Chen Tiantian and Chen Zhao so crazy that they also come to be apprentices?
It's not that she doesn't want people to come, it's just that the situation is too strange.
Why can't I get rid of the Chen family?
I didn't study medicine in my previous life, and neither did these two people, but now they are all here.
Chen Tiantian smiled at her and said, "Sister Yingbao, please take care of me."
Then he said to Li Xihua: "Please take care of me, sister Xihua. I am new here and I don't understand many things. I will ask you for advice in the future."
Chen Zhao also smiled kindly at a few people without saying much.
Li Xihua was very curious and asked Mr. Li: "Grandpa, why do they come to be apprentices too?"
My family has not had any female apprentices for many years, but this year we actually accepted three at once.
Li Langzhong said: "I have a junior brother over there in Fucheng. He wrote a letter to ask me to teach her two medical principles."
Li Xihua: "That's it."
She smiled and asked Chen Tiantian: "What's your sister's name?"
"My name is Chen Tiantian." Chen Tiantian pointed at Chen Zhao: "Her name is Chen Zhao, and we are cousins."
Chen Zhao secretly rolled his eyes at her, turned his head and looked at the drug store.
Chen Tiantian didn't take it seriously and pulled Li Xihua to ask this and that.
Ying Bao continued to read the pharmacopoeia.
Chen Zhao walked up to her and said softly: "Jiang Yingbao, what are you looking at?"
Ying Bao closed the book in her hand and pointed to the title, "Read it yourself."
She didn't want to talk to the Chen family at all.
Even if there is no plot in the storybook, she doesn't have a good impression of them.
Chen Zhao glanced at it, smiled slightly, and asked deliberately: "Can you understand?"
Ying Bao looked at Chen Zhao in front of him and said, "I just know better than you."
"Hmph." Chen Zhao snorted, turned around and walked to Li Xihua and said, "Sister Xihua, that Jiang Yingbao said she knows a lot more than you."
Li Xihua was stunned.
Ying Bao had been paying attention to Chen Zhao's movements. When she heard what she said, she immediately walked up to Chen Zhao and said sadly: "Say it again!"
Chen Zhao smiled and said: "Sister Xihua, look at her getting angry from shame..."
Before she finished speaking, her hair was already pulled by Ying Bao, and she was violently thrown to the ground with a single grab.
Chen Tiantian screamed and quickly pulled the stunned Li Xihua aside.
Li Xihua's two brothers were also shocked and forgot to come over to start a fight.
Ying Bao put her knee on Chen Zhao's neck, and touched her face with a brush in her hand: "Say it again! If you dare to make up a random word, I will leave a stain on your face that you will never be able to wash off. "
In his previous life, Chen Zhao was so instigating, which was the most disgusting thing. The best way to deal with it was to take care of her.
Chen Zhao still wanted to resist, but when he saw that he couldn't resist, he burst into tears and shouted for help.
But after shouting for a long time, no one came to save her. Instead, she was stabbed hard on the face several times, which hurt a lot.
Now Chen Zhao was really scared and stammered: "I, I was just joking, you actually hit me, ooohhhh..."
Ying Bao then stood up and kicked her. "Change your provocation, or you'll get beaten!"
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Tiantian.
Chen Tiantian shrank her neck and quietly hid behind Li Xihua.
