Qin Li pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "I only know that when I went out to treat a patient, the patient's relative told me that she wanted me to marry into their house."

"What is that person's family background, character, how old is he? Where to take office?..." Qinghe said with concern.

Qin Li glanced at Qinghe awkwardly and said, "I didn't ask her again, how could I know so much? I just told her truthfully that I had an engagement with someone before, but I retired. After resigning, I just wanted to be a female doctor and not think about those things for the time being."

Qinghe knew that the lady would not agree. She asked her for the marriage she had proposed, so she nodded and said:

"Well, that's what I have to say."

She hoped that the lady and the third son would come together, so she didn't want others to propose marriage to the lady. Although she knew that the lady would not agree, she didn't like that others would go to match the lady.

Qin Li said:

"After I said that, after hearing this, the man said that there is no need to mention the past. He also said that he would have to become a family even if he became a female doctor."

"Don't pay attention to those people, Miss." Qinghe thought, there was no one in the room anyway. Mo Zhu, who had been standing at the door of the bedroom before, also went back to find Fu Yu after the lady's persuasion.

While the lady mentioned this, Qinghe said what she said:

"The person who advised the lady to get married might be valued by the lady as a female doctor, and she has a good family background and looks very beautiful, so she proposed marriage to her. As long as the lady ignores her, she will not be able to continue persuading her."

Qin Li saw that Qinghe was thinking a lot and said softly:

"I didn't say much to her at all, so you'll be relieved."

Today, Qin Li found some medicinal materials and took them to the mixed house to grind them into powder with a pestle.

Qinghe took the hand stove and walked in. Qin Li rolled up her sleeves and was grinding the powder. A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. These things shouldn't be done by the lady alone, but the lady never asked her and Ziqin to help, so she had to not help.

He walked to Qin Li with the hand stove, and Qinghe advised:

"Miss, please rest for a while and warm your hands."

"I'm not cold at all, it's warm." Qin Li didn't stop grinding the powder when talking to Qinghe. She smiled at Qinghe and said:

"When we do work in the pharmacy, we almost don't have to roast the fire, and it can be very warm. I especially like to go to the mixed houses to help people and help them grind powder with medicine..."

Before Qin Li could finish speaking, Qinghe quickly persuaded:

"That's too hard, Miss, don't do rough work."

"Haha, how can you do as a female doctor who doesn't learn to grind powder?"

After Qin Li said that, she smiled awkwardly.

In fact, she likes to grind her own medicine powder, whether at home or in a pharmacy. She helps with work in the pharmacy, and the medicine powder she grinds is thinner than the medicine powder that ordinary people grind.

Qinghe wanted to help, but Qin Li didn't ask her to help, so she had to put the hand stove aside for Qin Li and said, "Miss, you can rest for a while, so you can warm your hands."

When Qinghe was talking, she pointed to the small wooden table beside her, and the hand stove was placed on it for Qin Li.

Qin Li smiled and nodded, "Okay."

But she just agreed verbally, but she was really warm and didn't need a hand stove at all.

After a while, Qin Li ground the powder, found a large porcelain bowl, and poured the powder into the bowl. Then he added some broken rice to the porcelain bowl, stirred it, and brought it to the abandoned woodshed to feed it to the wild pheasant.

As soon as Qin Li walked into the house with a porcelain bowl, she saw Qinghe who was feeding wild pheasants.

During these days, most of the time, Qinghe and Ziqin were helping her feed wild pheasants. Under their careful care, those wild pheasants have grown fatter, and they are not as timid as they were when they first came to her house.

Qin Li held the bowl and added some food to the wild pheasants, mainly to let them eat some medicine powder to supplement them with more nutrition. At that time, when the hen lays the eggs, she can fry the eggs for Zhao Sheng to eat.

The eggs laid by wild pheasants that have eaten ginseng, angelica and Codonopsis are naturally of high nutritional value.

Qin Li felt happy and thought to herself, I was afraid that Zhao Sheng might not be able to eat such nutritious eggs in the imperial city.

In order not to waste these medicinal herbs, Qin Li stood in the house and guarded the wild pheasants to eat. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them finish the food in the bowl.

These guys were not originally very picky about food as Qinghe and Ziqin said.

The wild pheasant closest to Qin Li looked at Qin Li and flapped her wings after she was full. She also made a "rattle" cry, as if she was greeting her, and as if she was thanking her.

When Qinghe saw this scene, she joked with Qin Li:

"Miss, look, they are quite smart. They know that you are the ones their masters like. When they see you, they are as enthusiastic as they meet an old acquaintance."

Qin Li was looking at the wild pheasant's agile feet. She felt that they had gained weight a little after coming to her house for a few months, and she felt very satisfied.

So she didn't pay much attention to what Qinghe said to her.

But Qin Li knew that Qinghe was talking to her, so she looked at Qinghe with a smile and nodded, "Yes."

Qinghe pursed her lips and smiled secretly. She thought to herself, no matter whether the lady heard or not, as long as the lady could understand the third son’s feelings for her.

The ladies are eighteen years old, and after this year, they will be nineteen. She hopes that the ladies can marry the third son. No matter how the third son’s family is, as long as the third son treats the ladies well, it will be enough.

Qin Li fed food, held a large porcelain bowl, and was about to leave the house. However, when he looked at Qinghe, he found that Qinghe was still standing there in a daze, and asked curiously:

"Qinghe?"

"Miss." Qinghe quickly stopped some thoughts and said softly:

"Before I came here, I went to the flower bed and moved the herbs you planted in the flower pot to the mixed house. It was too cold outside, and I was worried that they would be frozen."

Qin Li said gratefully:

"You are so thoughtful, Qinghe. Thank you so much for your hard work these days."

Those herbs, called Qianyuehua, are medicinal herbs that can cure headaches. When she saw someone going to a medicine shop to sell medicinal herbs, she discussed with Dr. Hu, and she paid for the money herself to buy the small herbs.

In winter, that herb is not easy to survive.

But the woman who went to sell herbs was very pitiful, her hands were frozen red, and she couldn't bear to bargain with her. She said she wanted ten taels of silver per plant, so she gave her twenty taels of silver and bought the two herbs.

That day, after she bought herbs, her mother learned about the incident and said a few words to her on the way back in the carriage.

"Li'er, you worked hard in the pharmacy and only earned a few taels of silver a month. Look at you, you spent some more silver to buy herbs. I'll give you silver, but you don't want it. You're so sad that I feel for my mother, right?"

"Mom, the child just likes those herbs and wants to buy them home and plant some." Qin Li said to Guo with a smile:

"I'll tell you, mom, when those herbs grow, we can use their buds to soak them in water and drink them."

Guo shook his head slightly, "There is good tea at home, so I don't need herbs to soak in water to drink." Just think about it and you will know that it may be bitter.
