Chapter 16 second quarter

Guo Yanjie accepted his father's order to come to Cheng's family to study art, and he has always been very diligent and hardworking. He sits with Cheng Shaobo as an assistant during the day, and lives with Xiao Congfu in the dormitory in the back room of Huichun Hall at night.When he was free, he never idled. He only knew to read the thick medical books quietly, and then copied down the medical records and prescriptions that he thought were useful in the books for future reference in his own clinical practice.The books he read were all borrowed from Cheng Shaobo, and he often read a batch and returned it, and borrowed another batch.

That day, at dusk, a common cold caught the town of Bajiaotai, dozens of miles away, and two to three hundred people were infected with more than a thousand people in the town.At that time, Cheng Shaobo said that he would not come back tonight, so he asked Guo Yanjie to tell Fan Xiaojin not to wait for him, and took the bamboo knife for scraping from Fan Xiaojin's hand for him.Guo Yanjie came out of Fan Xiaojin's bedroom and saw a thick stack of prescriptions marked with the word "secret" on the desks in Cheng Shaobo's study in the outhouse. From the special format of rice paper, Guo Yanjie recognized all of them at a glance. It is the special prescription paper used in the imperial hospital, so this thick stack must be the secret recipe of the palace.This is a good thing that his father repeatedly told him to pay attention to collecting, so he kept it in his heart.

That night, Xiao Congfu took advantage of Cheng Shaobo's absence and went to Baicao Yard to have fun, and did not return late at night.Guo Yanjie was attracted by those palace secret recipes, tossing and turning unable to sleep, took advantage of the opportunity to go to the inner house again and again, but in the middle of the night, he only dared to go to the thatched house, not approaching the door of Cheng Shaobo's house.While hesitating, he saw a figure sneaking in from the side door of the inner courtyard where he passed, and went straight to the door of Cheng Shaobo's house, with a slight push, he dodged in.Guo Yanjie thought it was Cheng Shaobo at first, but later he saw that this person was taller and stronger than Cheng Shaobo, and he was walking like a meteor, and he was definitely not Cheng Shaobo. After thinking about it again, Cheng Shaobo would never come back from Bajiaotai Town, so he became curious in his heart, and quietly moved closer In the past, I gently pushed the door, and it opened.He tried to move forward step by step, approaching the study room, and vaguely saw a stack of gray-white things on the desk, which must be the stack of secret palace recipes that Shaobo Cheng didn't have time to put away, waiting to go forward Take, I suddenly heard a series of women's laughter coming from the inner bedroom, and then I heard a man say: "I'm afraid your stomach can't take it, I don't dare to be too heavy. Otherwise, I will make you happy !"...

Guo Yanjie heard that it was the voice of the pharmaceutical worker from Fan's family who often gave or fetched things to Fan Xiaojin, and immediately understood what was going on.But at this time, he didn't care about listening to other people's cheating, he just wanted to get the stack of palace secret recipes, so he raised his foot and reached for it, but at this moment, there was a shout from behind: "Who?" He was so scared that he almost fell down on the ground.Looking back, it was Xiao Congfu—it turned out that when Xiao Congfu came back from Baicaoyuan, he didn't see Guo Yanjie reading a book under the covers, so he thought he was coming to the inner house to go to the latrine. Later, after waiting for a long time without seeing him return, he went to the back house to see what was going on. In the end, Guo Yanjie was not found in the hut.Seeing again, the door of Cheng Shaobo's inner house was wide open, so he leaned forward to observe carefully, and happened to see a figure swaying in front of the study door, so he yelled, and caught Guo Yanjie just like that.

Aunt Qin, the maidservant living in the concierge, and Qin Cheng, the male servant, heard the commotion in the wing room, and rushed over with lanterns.He raised the lamp and saw that it was Guo Yanjie, so Xiao Congfu asked sharply, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here with Eldest Young Master?" Guo Yanjie was very embarrassed at this time and place. If he told the truth and confessed that he wanted to steal the secret recipe of the palace, he would not be able to stay in the Cheng family in the future; I was afraid that Fan Xiaojin would be offended and that she would not be able to stay in the Cheng family in the future, so I didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Cheng Hanru and his wife from the upper room and He Ruohan from the opposite wing all rushed over. After listening to Xiao Congfu's introduction, they also asked Guo Yanjie why he broke into the inner house of the young master in the middle of the night knowing that the young master was not at home. Guo Yanjie was helpless, and when he had an idea, he pretended to go to the latrine at night, and saw a figure dangling in front of the door of the eldest young master's house, thinking that the eldest young master was not at home, and fearing that the eldest young mistress would be unsafe, so he stared at that person secretly, and later saw He entered the door of the young master's house, wanting to call someone to catch the thief, but he was afraid that if the young master came back and made a joke, he would follow him in for a closer look... Speaking of which, he deliberately stopped talking.

"Where is that person?" Cheng Hanru asked. "In the eldest young master's room." Guo Yanjie finally spoke the second half of the sentence. "Isn't that the young master's return?" Xiao Congfu didn't turn his head around for a moment, and scolded, "Why are you still here?" "It's not the young master, it sounds like Niu Yuchun, the medicine worker from the young grandma's family." Guo Yanjie finally told the truth in a whisper. At this time, Fan Xiaojin suddenly opened the door, tied his clothes and said, "Guo Yanjie is right, I asked Brother Niu Yuchun to be my company while my uncle was away, since everyone knows, Then I'll make it clear - I've had enough of being a widow in your Cheng family, I don't want to stay in the Cheng family anymore, I can do whatever I want, you old Cheng family can figure it out!" Saying this, he turned Watching Niu Yuchun walk away in full view...
