Chapter 484 Life and Death
The zongzi in his hand almost fell because of this exclamation. The ceremonial officer frowned and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

"Look!" The clerk pulled the ceremonial officer's sleeve and pointed to the side secretly.

The ceremonial officer looked in the direction he pointed and saw Mao Sanli, who was eating rice dumplings while leaning his head out and looking over here.

Mao Sanli was tall and strong, with a dark complexion and wearing ordinary cotton clothes. He looked no different from ordinary people, but if you looked closely at his facial features...

They are actually 60% to 70% similar!
The ceremonial officer felt nervous, but pretended to be calm. "It doesn't look like anything is wrong. On the contrary, the rice dumplings in my hand look very sweet. I wonder if they were made by Madam Xia."

"Don't you think that person looks a lot like..."

"I really didn't realize that." The ceremonial officer said firmly, and quickly changed the subject, "We still need to get to the post station tonight, so we have to hurry. Otherwise, the road will be difficult to travel at night, and there will be many mosquitoes, which is very annoying."

"Yes." The clerk responded helplessly and followed the ceremonial officer's increasingly quick pace.

But he kept looking back, and his eyes were fixed on Mao Sanli more and more closely.

Looks like, very similar!
At this time, Mao Sanli didn't notice anything. He still stretched his neck to watch the fun, and even planned to follow the others to take a look at the fun.

But before he could take a step forward, Yin Lingyou stopped him, "You do nothing all day long but just watch the fun. Do you understand what's going on?"

"Why don't you go back and grind all those herbs into powder? Are you being so lazy? Are you planning to let the mosquitoes eat me tonight?"

"If you keep being lazy like this, I will punish you by not allowing you to have dinner!"

Yin Lingyou's face was filled with anger at this time, his eyes were even bulged into bells, and his voice was much higher when he spoke.

He was obviously very angry.

Seeing this, Mao Sanli didn't dare to retort. He just shrank his neck, nodded softly, and walked inside.

But his movements were slow, and from time to time he looked back in the direction where the excitement was fading away.

Reluctant to leave.

Yin Lingyou became even more angry upon seeing this, and almost jumped up, slapping Mao Sanli on the back of the head, "Why are you still dithering?"

"I'm warning you, don't blindly watch any excitement from now on, especially the excitement in the capital. Don't watch or listen to it!"

"Why is this?" Mao Sanli's eyes widened with confusion.

"No reason, you are not allowed to look, you are not allowed to look!" Yin Lingyou shouted, "If you don't obey, just pretend that I am not your master!"

After saying that, Yin Lingyou put his hands behind his back and walked into the yard angrily.

Mao Sanli scratched the back of his head, his face full of surprise.

Master, what's going on?
In the past, he was more excited than anyone else when seeing excitement, and would squeeze his head forward to take a look. Why is he so resistant to watching the excitement now?

Also, what's wrong with the capital? It seems that Master seems to be particularly resistant to the capital.

Could it be that because my master used to be an imperial physician, he knew a lot about some of the dirty things in the imperial city, so he hated them so much that he not only disliked the royal family, but also hated the capital city, where the powerful and wealthy gathered?
Whatever, since the master doesn’t like it, he will learn his lesson and won’t join in such fun in the future.

Mao Sanli figured this out, and hurried to grind the herbs that Yin Lingyou had just instructed him to do. He then playfully served tea and rice dumplings, and apologized to his master to try to please him.

Seeing the tall man with a smile on his face, which was both honest and cautious, and full of flattery, Yin Lingyou's anger suddenly dissipated, and the anger on his face also decreased a lot. His tone softened, "Go and do your thing."

"Okay." Mao Sanli heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was no longer angry. His mouth stretched to his ears and he went to do his work happily. He jumped up and down like a child.

Just like how he looked when he first saw him.

Seeing this, Yin Lingyou sighed, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.

Sometimes, he doesn't even know if what he is doing is right.

But he is a doctor. He has studied hard for so many years just to save the dying and the wounded, and to bring lives back from the brink of death. How could he just stand by and watch people die?

What's more, such a vibrant life cannot be ignored.

As for the other side...

Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God, so just leave it to God’s will!

Yin Lingyou sighed again, but this breath was full of foul air, which made his already dim eyes have a little light.

Here, after seeing everyone off, Xia Mingyue immediately received admiration and congratulations from everyone in the central kitchen.

"Congratulations, Madam Xia!"

"Madam Xia is truly amazing. She has caught the Queen's eye."

"Mrs. Xia will surely have a bright future..."

"No matter how promising your future is, you still have to do your job well now. Don't think I can give you a holiday just because you say that. I am a famously ruthless boss. If you don't do well, you will be punished."

Xia Mingyue deliberately put on airs and made a blatant joke.

This joke made everyone present laugh, and the subconscious feeling of alienation that had arisen because Xia Mingyue was rewarded by the Queen Mother also disappeared completely at this moment.

Everyone continued to work and chat as usual, while Xia Mingyue began to pack up the rewards she had received.

The silver was in the form of silver ingots, ten taels each, for a total of ten.

The cloth was of high-quality texture. Qingju recognized it as brocade. The colors were mostly youthful colors such as pink and moon white, suitable for young women to wear.

The four treasures of the study also appear to be of excellent quality, especially the paper, which is excellent rice paper and is very suitable for painting and writing.

Xia Mingyue felt that she usually just memorized recipes and kept some account books, and it would be a waste to use such good rice paper in this way, so she thought of looking for Shen Shujun and asking her to help write a few words or draw a picture, so as not to waste such good paper.

Only the last piece of calligraphy written by the Queen herself was tied with red silk and never opened.

Xia Mingyue untied the red silk and opened the paper.

The four big characters "贤良淑德" are written in a majestic, elegant and lively manner, yet revealing a certain sense of grace and elegance, and underneath is a red clay seal - Qingshan Jushi.

This Qingshan Jushi should be the Queen's nickname.

The green hills can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward.

Xia Mingyue suddenly thought of this sentence in her mind.

This was originally Xin Qiji's way of expressing his deep patriotism through stories, but in other words, the green mountains that cannot stop the river from flowing eastward are also the ones in high positions who witness the river flowing away.
