When Ji Qingyao returned to the cave, the lanterns were already on, and the scent of rice porridge wafted from the entrance of the cave. Before entering, he already had the Four Treasures of the Study and a few pieces of paper in his hand.
Pei Mingche heard the footsteps and didn't look back: "You're back. The porridge is ready. Wash your hands and you can eat it. The pheasant is also roasted. I just don't know how it tastes."
Ji Qingyao looked at the cave and then at herself. She had gone to the right place. This was the cave she had found a few days ago. She saw the baggage she was carrying in a corner of the cave.
Ji Qingyao seriously suspected that the way she returned to the cave was wrong, otherwise why she heard the words the man said, as if she was waiting for his late wife to come home.
There couldn't be anything wrong with this man's mind. Even after two days together, he and she could only be regarded as slightly familiar strangers at best.
Ji Qingyao couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. After working outside for a day, she was really hungry, especially the constant fragrance of rice porridge, which made her internal organs growl.
She put away the things in her hands, cleaned her hands and distributed the food prepared by the man. She didn't show any pretense, picked up her own bowl and started eating.
Pei Mingche felt a little reluctant to see Ji Qingyao like this. Although in this era, gentlemen were encouraged to stay away from the kitchen, but he felt that it was a sense of accomplishment to wash his hands and make soup for the woman he loved, and to see her eating to her satisfaction. Compared with He was still happy and happy after he had made a contribution on the battlefield.
After finishing the meal, she put away the dishes and chopsticks. Ji Qingyao handed the two pieces of paper as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the man: "No, this is for you to write a deed. The fifty bottles of medicine you want will be given to you at noon tomorrow."
"You said this morning that you would help me purchase medicinal materials. If you come across Panax notoginseng, you can help me buy some with good quality and reasonable price. Panax notoginseng is the most important medicine among the hemostatic medicines given to you."
Pei Mingche knew about Panax notoginseng. The medicine had the effect of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. Moreover, the yield of Panax notoginseng was extremely low, so it was no wonder that the girl had to pay eleven taels of silver for a bottle.
Ji Qingyao walked to the other corner of the cave, where there was a stone pier, laid paper on it, took out the charcoal pens that had been prepared, and started writing and drawing on the paper.
She originally wanted to build a two-story house for herself, but after asking Pei Ningyuan, she learned that it was impossible as she was just a farm girl. She could have a brick house, but the number of main houses was also limited.
When Ji Qingyao heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to curse. This was all time and space, and it was a broken rule for a single woman to build a house. Unless she was registered as a merchant, there were no restrictions, but she didn't want to.
There is another way to find a man to marry, and there will be no obstacle to building a two-story house. But she doesn't want to get married now, so she can't find a man to make up the money just to build a house.
Ji Qingyao looked at the two-story courtyard she designed, sighed and put it aside, picked up the brush and continued to write and draw.
Pei Mingche had already written the deed. When he raised his eyes, he saw the little girl shaking her head for a while, then sighing, putting down the pen in her hand, getting up and walking in the direction of Ji Qingyao.
Picking up the drawings that were put aside, I saw a two-story building standing in the mountains and forests. There was a winding verandah at the entrance. The stones under the steps formed a corridor. There were not many carved beams and painted pillars, but it was very simple and elegant.
Look at another picture that the little girl is drawing. It is a concave building. Only the style of the house has been changed, but the layout of the courtyard is similar to the previous one. There is not much decoration in front of the house. A pond is designed on the right side of the entrance. There were stone tables and benches not far from the pond, and a row of grids was left on the left hand side. He didn't see what they were used for. The drawings were simple and elegant yet simple.
Ji Qingyao didn't know how long Pei Mingche had been looking at it. When she finished revising the drawing, she felt that her neck was sore from having lowered her head for too long.
Suddenly there was a touch of warmth on her neck. Just as Ji Qingyao was about to turn her head, a magnetic male voice came from above her head, "Don't move. I'll massage you. How do you feel about the strength?"
Ji Qingyao wanted to say bad, but she didn't dare to speak at this moment. She didn't know what was going on with this man. His voice was so gentle that it could drip water. Ji Qingyao was so scared that she stiffened up and didn't dare to respond at all.
Feeling the warm air coming into her neck, Ji Qingyao exclaimed again, is this the legendary internal power? It was soothing and tingling, very comfortable.
After half a cup of tea.
"Try to twist it, but you still feel uncomfortable somewhere."
Ji Qingyao didn't dare to look back at the man, so she could only shake her head casually, "Okay, thank you. I feel much more comfortable now. I didn't expect your massage techniques to be so good."
Ji Qingyao felt hot all over her body and wanted to fan herself down with her hands, but felt that she was trying to cover up her feelings and had to give up.
