Chapter 291 Breaking the Precepts
The next day, Yingbao got up early, washed herself and went out.
Jiang Quan thought that his little cousin was going back to the medical office and wanted to see her off.
"No, I'll go to the county office and then go back to the medical office." Yingbao didn't want her second cousin to deliver it, because with him around, it would be difficult for her to take out the apples.
Jiang Quan had no choice but to watch his little cousin jump and run away.
The county government office is actually not far from the county school, and Yingbao arrived soon.
Looking around for no one, she took out a basket full of apples and walked to the gate of the county government office.
The gatekeepers at the county government office already knew this little girl. When they saw that she wanted to see the commander, they didn't say anything and went straight in to report.
After a while, a woman came out and asked Yingbao to go in.
Yingbao left two big apples with the two government officials, and then followed her mother-in-law into the inner courtyard.
"Sister!" Jiang Jie rushed over, hugged his sister, and said happily: "You are here!"
Ying Bao touched his head and said, "I'll give you an apple to eat."
Jiang Jie was surprised: "Has our apple grown so big?"
"It's not from our family, I bought it from outside." Yingbao put down the backpack and carried it to the eaves of the corridor with his two brothers.
Mr. Wu and his son Wu Daozi stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking at Yingbao with a smile: "I haven't seen you here for a long time, but it's strange today."
Yingbao chuckled and said, "I guess the old gentleman and Daling have finished eating the health pills, so they were sent here specially." After saying that, he took out two packages of pills from the bag, one for Mr. Wu and one for Wu. Shi.
Mr. Wu quickly put the medicine bag into his sleeve, touched his beard and said, "Have you had breakfast? Can you use some with us?"
"Okay." Ying Bao was not polite and followed Mr. Wu and Wu Daozi into the living room.
Breakfast is very simple, a plate of cut salted duck eggs, a plate of shredded pickles, and a plate of steamed salted fish. The staple food is rice porridge and white flour steamed buns.
As Ying Bao drank her porridge, she heard Wu Daozi ask her: "You go to school in the medical department now. What are you studying?"
"I learn forbidden spells." Ying Bao took a bite of the steamed bun.
Wu Daozi slowly picked up a few shredded pickles and asked, "Why do you learn forbidden spells?"
Ying Bao: "Because I like forbidden spells." After thinking for a while, he added: "Actually, there is a nasty ghost who has been following me, so I had no choice but to learn forbidden spells."
Wu Daozi raised his eyes and looked at her: "What a nuisance?"
"Well!" Yingbao told Wu Daozi about Chen Tiantian: "She had stayed in the Qing Palace as a palace maid, but for some reason she suddenly came to Qinchuan County and studied medicine with me. What do you think? Is it strange?”
Wu Daozi and his father looked at each other and both frowned.
Weird indeed.
"So I learned forbidden spells, hum! Don't be with that Chen Tiantian." Ying Bao found someone who could talk to her, and she vented all her grievances: "I even doubted whether she was a vixen who came here specifically to The one that sucks my essence."
Wu Daozi laughed dumbly: "Vixens also suck men..." Suddenly he realized that he shouldn't say such things to a little girl, so he changed his words: "There is no such thing as a vixen, it's just a coincidence that she came here."
Ying Bao pouted: "It's not a coincidence."
There must be some deep meaning before Chen Tiantian returned to Qinchuan County.
Otherwise, just guess whether she will enter the yin and yang department.
If she finds a way to enter the Yin Yang Department in the future, there will definitely be a problem, and it will be a big problem.
Maybe she had a big purpose in approaching him. Well, if it wasn't for absorbing the essence, there was another possibility that she wanted to take away her own luck.
Isn’t it said in all the storybooks that the son of luck is the son of luck and the daughter of luck is the daughter of luck?
And since she has a magical cave, she must be considered a lucky girl in this world.
So, does Chen Tiantian want to seize his own cave? Or does she want to take away her luck so that she can achieve success?
After finishing his porridge and rice, Mr. Wu put down his bowls and chopsticks, and then said to Ying Bao: "Since you have learned Yin Yang Ke, you should read more Yi Zhuan or Xuan Wei Lu, or read Tai Ping Guang Ji. There are mysterious things in them." Maybe it can clear up the doubts.”
Last time, an old friend from Beijing wrote and told that the Xiao family had asked Qin Tianjian to calculate the fortune of a girl, and finally calculated that the girl was the lucky star of the acting king. But for some unknown reason, the Xiao family actually sent the girl back to her place of origin.
Now it seems that that girl should be Chen Tiantian in Yingbao's mouth.
Ying Bao nodded: "Yeah." She really wanted to read more books about ghosts and ghosts, and then find out what was strange about them.
Being reborn by yourself is definitely a strange story, and having a cave is even more bizarre.
However, Chen Tiantian sticks to her like a dog-skin plaster. There is definitely something fishy about this.
And the words in her head frightened her even more.
If you are not careful, you may fall into someone else's trap.
If it weren't for the fact that these words couldn't be told to outsiders, she would have wanted to ask Mr. Wu for advice on what was going on.
After breakfast, Wu Daozi rummaged through his study for a while, found a few books on ghost stories and gave them to Yingbao, asking her to take them back to the medical office for reading.
Then he said: "Yingbao, I may have to leave my post at the end of this year and return to Beijing to renew my post. At that time, my father will take Jiang Jie on a study tour and send him back to take the county examination when he is eight years old."
"Are you leaving?" Ying Bao opened her eyes wide and felt a little sad.
Wu Daozi touched her head and said, "Well, my term has expired and I have to leave. Xiao Yingbao, I haven't thanked you for curing my illness yet."
Now that the tumor on Wu Daozi's neck has been eliminated, he is energetic and looks very elegant. He also looks much younger than a few years ago, and he does not look like a person in his thirties at all.
This is all thanks to the health pills Ying Bao gave him.
"You're welcome. We haven't thanked Mr. Wu for teaching my brother's studies yet." To be honest, Mr. Wu and Wu Daozi gave more to their family.
It was precisely because of the protection of the county magistrate that no one dared to covet her shop in Qinchuan County, so she dared to challenge Xiao Mo, and her family developed steadily in Chuanhe Town until now.
As for her younger brother Jiang Jie, it is more likely that because of Mr. Wu's teachings, he will embark on an official career and become a high official in the future.
Wu Daozi smiled and said nothing more.
His father worked hard to teach that child, wishing he could instill in him everything he had learned throughout his life, and the child was also very smart. He could do whatever he was taught, and he could draw inferences from one example to other cases. He was much better than when he was a child. The old father could not wait to teach him this disobedient child. The son put it in his belly and remade it.
Alas, just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes, even if I don’t talk about it.
Seeing that it was late, Ying Bao said goodbye to Wu Daozi and Mr. Wu and left.
Wu Daozi asked his servant Wu Rui to take the little girl back to the hospital in a carriage.
After returning to the medical office, Yingbao quietly walked to the Yin and Yang Department classroom, but as expected she didn't see the master.
She knew that Master Zhou was going to the Taoist temple to practice Buddhism today, so she didn't come back in the morning. She felt free to go to the county government office.
Sitting at the desk, he took out the forbidden spell book and read it aloud, glancing out the window from time to time.
I saw the second senior brother staggering in. He stared at her when he saw her: "Where did you go this morning? You didn't come to do your morning lessons?"
"I didn't go anywhere." Ying Bao said seriously, holding the book, "I went to do the laundry."
Zhang Min expressed disbelief: "Humph! You have violated the precepts!"
"I didn't!" He had eaten a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in the morning, and didn't even dare to eat salted duck eggs. How did he know that he had violated the precept?
Zhang Min sat across the table from her and said, "You have violated the precept of lying! Huh! I was practicing Yubu by the river early in the morning, and I didn't even see you washing clothes."
