Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 203 Guess

Chunliu and Chuntao were stumped by Song Ying's question. They were stunned for a while. Chuntao guessed, "There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion these past two days, so he must have forgotten."

Chunliu nodded and added meaningfully, "The Second Madam was so busy dealing with the concerns and inquiries from various mansions, and the Fifth Miss went to Fenghe Courtyard to make a scene again. She was so busy that she had to put down her work and go to stop it in person.

The master found out about this and was furious, so he confined the Fifth Miss to her place of residence."

Song Ying: “…”

The one who deserves to be confined the most is Aunt Lian.

He doesn't dote on Aunt Lian, but is partial to her when she acts unreasonably. Could it be that he feels guilty towards her?

Aunt Lian is about the same age as Princess Shun’an. Could she be the original wife of Mr. Shen, the top scholar?

Did Shen Zhuangyuan become Chen Shimei after finishing high school?

I haven't heard of this. Considering how the villagers always talked about the candidate for top scholar, if he had been admitted as top scholar, the villagers would probably have dug up even the smallest details to talk about. It doesn't make sense that there would be no news about such a big event as his marriage.

At this time, Song Ying heard Aunt Lian cursing and saying that she would make this family restless. He couldn't help but mutter, could it be that she has hatred?

What did Shen Zhuangyuan and Shunan County Lady do to make her hate them so much? Ruined her life? Destroyed her entire family?

She can do whatever she wants in Shen Mansion, and no one can stop her. As long as she thinks positively and doesn't care about other people's opinions, she can live happily. It won't ruin her life, right?

She was a prostitute and was forced to be given to Shen Zhuangyuan by someone. Shen Zhuangyuan should not be willing to kill her entire family, right?

Did Shen Zhuangyuan and Shunan County Master cause her to end up in a brothel? Because of something, her whole family was killed and she ended up in a brothel, and it was Shen Zhuangyuan and Shunan County Master who caused all of this?

Song Ying was shocked and felt that his guess was very reasonable. Such a good girl was forced to live in a brothel and her life was ruined. Naturally, she hated it.

Then everything Aunt Lian is doing now and the concessions made by Princess Shunan and others are very reasonable.

They have ruined other people's lives, and they feel guilty, so naturally they have to be tolerant.

Ten days later, the burns on Song Ying's hands healed completely and Chuntao was no longer needed. However, whenever she had free time, she would still go to the small kitchen to watch Song Ying prepare medicinal food. If she encountered something she had never learned before, she would ask Song Ying to teach her.

She was also very good at dealing with people, and would quietly tell Song Ying any interesting and important news. Therefore, although Song Ying did not interact much with the maids in the mansion, she knew everything she should know.

Perhaps because she listened to Doctor Lin's words that day, Princess Shun'an handed over all the housekeeping power to her three daughters-in-law, and she didn't care about anything herself. She focused on taking care of her health, and her health gradually improved.

Doctor Lin finally had some free time. After hearing that Song Ying had memorized all the acupuncture songs, he began to teach Song Ying how to practice acupuncture.

Doctor Lin opened a small leather bag, inside which were neatly arranged silver needles of various colors and sizes. She picked one up and roasted it over the fire.

Song Ying was fascinated by what he saw, but Doctor Lin said, "Go find the steward and ask two strong women to come over and move the bronze acupuncture statue in my room to the main room."

Acupuncture bronze man? What is that?

With doubts, Song Ying ran out to find the steward and called back two strong women.

Doctor Lin took them to her bedroom and asked two maids to move something that was placed in the corner to the main room.

The thing was very large and covered with a cloth. When it was moved, it was vaguely visible that it was a human figure, about eight or nine feet tall.

After sending the old woman away, Song Ying excitedly lifted the covering cloth. It turned out to be a bronze adult man with a round face, big drooping ears, a smile on his face, and many veins and small holes on his body.

Considering the name of the Acupuncture Bronze Man, it is not difficult to guess that these veins are the meridians of the human body, and the small holes are naturally the acupoints.

Song Ying was extremely amazed that there was such a thing in the world. With this, there was no need to worry about not being able to learn acupuncture!

Doctor Lin touched the faded bronze statue, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and after a long while he whispered:

"This is a replica of the Tiansheng bronze statue made by Wang Weiyi, a medical officer of the previous dynasty. It has wooden carved internal organs and bones inside, and the meridians and acupuncture points are cast on the surface, which is almost the same as the real human body.

It was originally used to test doctors' acupuncture skills, and is still used for practice today.

In the days that follow, you will use this to practice.”

Song Ying nodded vigorously, his eyes shining as he looked at the bronze man. To cast such a bronze man, not only a large amount of copper was needed, but also a thorough understanding of the human body structure and meridian acupoints. Not every doctor has the ability to cast one.

She once again realized the superb medical skills of her master, and her enthusiasm for learning became even stronger.

Although she had memorized the acupuncture song by heart, she still took out the book and read it aloud before the acupuncture to confirm that her memory was correct.

Moreover, her reading was not just a simple "wa wa" chant.

The first time she went to the community school to eavesdrop, she was deeply impressed by the way Yuan Qing recited. Later, she learned to recognize words from Yuan Qing, so her habits of reading aloud and reciting were the same as Yuan Qing's.

When reciting the acupuncture song, she would think while reading where the specific acupuncture points that need to be pierced are, how to pierce them, how much force to use, what the effect will be if the acupuncture is done correctly, and what the consequences will be if the acupuncture is done incorrectly.

The more she thinks, the slower her speed becomes, especially when she is first learning, but this method makes her remember things very firmly.

She was so absorbed in her practice that she soon forgot about time and her surroundings.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Doctor Lin came into the room and stopped her: "Okay, go get some food."

Song Ying reluctantly put down the silver needle, picked up the food box and rushed to the temporary kitchen.

Bring back the meal early so you can continue with the treatment after eating.

Just as she ran to the gate, Doctor Lin stopped her and said, "I forgot to tell you that from now on you must remember to move your fingers and wrists frequently."

As she spoke, she demonstrated a few movements: "Like this, grasping and holding, fingers open and close; wrist rotation forward, reverse rotation..."

Although Song Ying didn't understand why he had to do this, he obediently decided to do it first. Maybe he would understand why he had to do this as he did it.

If she still doesn't understand, she will ask her master for advice.

She carried the food box, playing with her fingers and wrists along the way, and soon arrived at the temporary kitchen.

Ever since Aunt Lian made a scene that day, the eldest wife went to the kitchen and ordered that meals for Aunt Lian be prepared first, and that everyone else be prepared later.

Therefore, Song Ying was surprised that Aunt Lian had not made any trouble during this period of time, because now Aunt Lian was the only one living in Fengheyuan.

She had actually gotten used to not having servants to serve her. This was totally unlike her personality.

Not only Song Ying was surprised, but others were also surprised. Song Ying could hear the maids talking about this matter from time to time in the past two days.
