On how to make the big cat sleep obediently [Time Travel]

The third day after Liu Yu left was Chongwu. According to the usual practice, Jizhou officials rested for three days, so Xiaonian, who had been worried about the substitute, could breathe a sigh of relief without having to go to court early.

Recently, the weather has been favorable and the maritime affairs have gradually calmed down. After His Majesty rejected the request of the Merman Race, everything will be as usual.

Thanks to Emperor Cheng's good plan for his son, there are many capable ministers in the court now, each performing his own duties. Even though an important minister like Mr. Cai has not met the emperor privately after the early court for a few days, he can still handle things in an orderly manner , naturally did not notice any abnormality in the palace.

Xiao Nian was afraid that there would be something wrong with only Rong Nian and Mu Nian in the palace, so he didn't go to the Tai Hospital frequently in the past few days, and stayed in the Tai Chi Hall to accompany them most of the time.

Waiting for Xiaonian to read books to Rongnian and Mu Nian, and accompany them to practice calligraphy, thinking about what he discussed with Liu Yu before.

He himself is a medical student. Although he has passed the Tongsheng examination, he has not taken the road of imperial examination since then. Compared with those scholars who study hard, he is naturally lacking, and he is not as good as Liu Yu who studied both civil and military.

Seeing that Rong Nian and Mu Nian are getting older, Liu Yu and him may not be able to keep up with the children's education, so they must find a serious teacher to teach them.

At this time, I also want to thank Emperor Cheng Liu Xin. Master Cai, who he worked so hard to protect, is now recalled to the court. He was the teacher of the young emperor Liu Quan. Their little tiger cub invited this good teacher with both ability and political integrity.

Anyway, Liu Yu had already disclosed the existence of the two princes to Cai Peng. After a while, when Liu Yu came back, other conditions were ripe. They could first ask Mr. Cai to give lectures to Rong Nian and Mu Nian in the palace.

It was quite normal for Shang Shuling to be called to the palace. As long as Cai Peng kept his mouth shut, it would be easy for them not to let outsiders know the existence of the little tiger cub too early.

Thinking of this, Xiaonian breathed out with the two children: "After a while, there should be an old man who will teach you how to read. When the time comes, be polite, respect the teacher, and pay attention to the class."

The little guy has been accompanied by Xiaonian and Liu Yu to read and practice calligraphy since he was a child. He is used to it and likes it. Hearing that someone else will replace his brother and Liu Yu, he is somewhat reluctant.

For them, studying is not a difficult time, on the contrary, because the elder brother and the father are busy, and only this time can be with them all the time, but it is a happier time of the day, and of course they don't want outsiders to disturb them.

Seeing this, Xiaonian quickly promised: "The emperor teaches you to read, but my brother will not leave, and will stay with you."

——It’s not difficult for parents to accompany you to read this kind of thing. It’s not difficult to do it in the palace now. At least it’s not difficult to rack your brains every day to think about what you can teach your children... Mr. Cai is still very friendly to his family, and he will not stop him from listening and accompanying reading .

Rong Nian and Mu Nian heard that they were still accompanied by their elder brother when they were studying, so they reluctantly accepted the fact that someone would intervene in their family of four.

After studying homework, Xiaonian took the little tiger cubs to watch Lianqiu and Fudong hang wormwood and calamus in the Tai Chi Hall.

According to the ancient customs of Kyushu, May [-]th is an evil month and day, and there is even a saying that "the fifth month of May is not raised", that is, babies born on May [-]th, whether they are boys or girls, cannot be raised to adults. Men harm their fathers and women harm their mothers, and there are disasters in the house. There are also sayings such as "if you come to an official in May, you will not move if you don't have to move", "build a house in May, and you will be bald".

With the passage of time, although the influence of these sayings on the people has faded, the poison has been released on the fifth day of May, and the folk activities of eliminating plague, exorcising evil spirits, and seeking auspiciousness continue.

The so-called "planting willows on Qingming Festival and planting moxa on Dragon Boat Festival", in May, no matter the homes of high-ranking officials or ordinary people, wormwood and calamus must be prepared.

The stems and leaves of mugwort contain volatile aromatic oils, which can repel mosquitoes, flies, and ants. Calamus is an aquatic herb. Its long and narrow leaves also contain volatile aromatic oils, which can refresh the mind, strengthen bones, eliminate stagnation, Drugs that kill insects.

There are these two ingredients in several compound essential oils made by Xiaonian, but having essential oils does not mean that the activity of inserting mugwort can be saved.

The little tiger cub had a keen sense of smell, and smelled wormwood and other things. It was somewhat irritated, raised its front paws, jumped back, and sneezed several times in a row.Xiaonian was enjoying watching, hugged the little ones and patted their backs to comfort them: "You have smelled them every year, you will get used to them after a while."

Take moxa in the shape of a tiger, or cut the ribbon to make a tiger, paste it with mugwort leaves, add calamus, or make a human shape, or Xiaojian shape, called Pujian, to drive away evil spirits and ghosts.

At this time, people will tie the wormwood into the shape of a tiger, or cut it into the shape of a tiger to avoid evil spirits.

Fudong showed the young master the Ai Ye tied into a tiger shape by the courtiers, thinking that the tiger-shaped Ai ball could arouse their interest, but the little tiger cub pushed it aside with his small paws because of his dislike.

Xiaonian picked it up to tease the little guy, the little tiger cub hid behind Xiaonian, let out a low growl, Xiaonian smiled and asked Fudong to take it away.

"My brother told you that wormwood is easy to get among the people. Ordinary people can rely on it to repel mosquitoes and prevent diseases. It is a good thing, so don't dislike it."

Hearing what his brother said, the little tiger cub slowly remembered that there would be more of this smell in the house at this time of the year, so he poked his head out, whined in a low voice, and went to have a "friendly" chat with the wormwood in the dustpan beside him. He said hello and patted hard with his little claws.

At this time, Xiaonian rummaged through the pile of wormwood, took out a ball of wormwood tied into the shape of a rabbit, and put it on the couch.

Little Tiger Cub: "!!!"

So, the little guy tried very hard to ignore the smell of wormwood, and the little rabbit couldn't put it down around this newly acquired wormwood. From time to time, he stretched out his little paw to touch it, and when he took it back, he smelled his little paw, and his face was wrinkled Together, but after a while, I still couldn't help touching the little rabbit again.

Seeing the young master's appearance, Fudong sighed again: King Jinyang has a solution!

In this way, wormwood and calamus were successfully hung in the Tai Chi Hall.

But in order to keep the little tiger cub from blowing up, Xiaonian asked Fudong to prepare the purse embroidered with five poisons without stuffing it with herbs.

The little tiger cub is no stranger to the ugly and ugly five poisons. Because the palace people embroidered them delicately, those things looked lifelike, so they kept patting them, telling their elder brother not to be afraid of centipedes and toads, and especially masculine.

……

In previous years, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the medical clinics in Tianjing would hold free clinics. However, due to the change of imperial power in the past two years, everyone in Beijing was vigilant, so there was no joint free clinic for two years. The half-day and one-day free clinics are not large in scale.

This year's free clinic in Beijing was negotiated in advance, so Xiaonian didn't need to worry about anything. Several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital were also ordered to join the ranks of the free clinic this time, taking charge of related matters.

When Xiaonian returned to Suijin this time, he discussed with his grandfather about the opening of the new Yannian Hall in Tianjing, but in fact, he had already opened a pharmacy in the middle of the capital for the medicinal materials of the Xueling Pharmacy, which was medium-sized and could be expanded. , This time, free medicinal materials were provided for the free clinic, so that ordinary people who could not afford the medical expenses could take the medicine according to the prescription.

If Liu Yu was in the palace, Xiaonian would naturally want to go out of the palace to see the situation of the free clinic, but now that the real emperor is not around, it is difficult for him to go out again, so he stayed in the palace to listen to people's reports.

With these things to be busy, Xiaonian had to divide his mind somewhat so that he would not be thinking about Liu Yu who was going to sea all the time.

In fact, he knew that even Mr. Zheng was inferior to Liu Yu in terms of martial arts alone, but he was always worried about Liu Yu who was going out, not only afraid that he would encounter danger, but also worried that he would be bumpy outside, and it would be inconvenient for him to eat and live.

Fortunately, Liu Yu's nightmare has completely healed, so Xiaonian doesn't worry that he won't be able to rest well when he goes outside.

For the first three days, there were notes sent back every day, although there were only a few words, it still made Xiaonian feel at ease.

But after the Dragon Boat Festival, there was no news for two days in a row, and Xiaonian's brows began to frown.

He first comforted himself that the sea area of ​​Shaohai was vast, and they were going to investigate things, so they needed to hide, so it was normal that they couldn't send news every day.

But after another five days, there was still no news, Xiaonian began to panic.
