Chapter 7

Let’s talk about Xing Yuesen again. Xing Yuesen is young and ambitious. He has been studying since he was a child. He has a pretty good talent. Unfortunately, he comes from a bad background and is a businessman.

That day, Xing Yuesen met Xu Yi under the Yilu Mountain Temple, and he was deeply moved. He especially remembered the sentence, "Those who serve as officials serve the people, and those who study medicine serve the people. They are all for the people." It happened to be

time for a private school quiz, and he was very creative and thoughtful. He made a case for this "Lun for the People" and rarely got third place in the exam, and was praised in public by the Master for his great progress in the article.

Even Xing Yuesen's friends were surprised and asked him when he had such knowledge.

Xing Yuesen smiled but did not answer, and asked him back: "Do you know Xu Yi who lives in South Street?"

His friend frowned: "Xu Yi from South Street? Why do I know him?"

Xing Yuesen: "..."

He suddenly I don’t want to share an interesting person like Xu Yi with my friends.

He was obviously a few years younger than him, but what he saw and heard was no less than him.

For such people, as Master Liu said, it would be a pity not to study.

Of course, Xu Yi is different from others. Even if he doesn't study, he can still achieve something. Xing Yuesen thinks this is something he can't compare with. He should make more friends with people like Xu Yi instead of friends like this. When he heard that he lived in South Street, the first thing he showed was disdain.

Moreover, his grandfather suffered from paralysis and had not recovered for a long time. Even Dr. Chen from Miaoshou Pavilion praised the prescription Xu Yi gave him.

Together with the Simiao Pills prescribed by Xu Yi, this medicine and one pill were taken at the same time. Grandfather Xing's pain was immediately relieved. Although he was still unable to get out of bed and walk around, it shocked the Xing family.

"Tell me, who is this Xu Yi? Why did you come back from the holidays and change your mind so much? This was not how the article was written before." His friend held him back and refused to let him go. The two were of similar level before. This time Xing Yuesen made rapid progress, which gave him a great sense of crisis.

This time, it was Xing Yuesen's turn to frown: "It's just someone I happened to know. He dropped out of school a while ago, and I just asked you if you knew him."

"Oh, that's right." The friend let go, thinking about him His behavior just now made him ask in a somewhat subtle way, "Are we going to the bookstore together later? I heard that a new storybook has arrived. It is the sequel to "Ms. Xue"." "

Ms. The Lady Xue depicted in it is affectionate and fleshy, daring to hate and love. After she reconciled with her husband, a businessman, she got together with a scholar who was taking the exam. He also brought a large amount of dowry and subsidized it to the scholars, so that the scholars could afford to go to Beijing to take the exam...

Xing Yuesen was silent: "..."

He suspected that his friend did it on purpose. He never liked reading such scripts.

"No, I still have homework to study." Xing Yuesen rejected his friend.

Later, he will go find Xu Yi.

Xu Yi came out late. This time he rode a bullock cart with a younger rider.

This new handlebar style is a chatterbox, and he will talk a few words wherever he passes by. This is quite enjoyable for Xu Yi.

Chaolishi has been to many places. He not only picks up passengers here, but occasionally, he also drives an ox cart to Tongchuan Prefecture.

Xu Yi asked him what Tongchuan Mansion was like.

"That city tower is very tall and big. It's much more prosperous than our Yanting County. The food sold there is more exquisite and the price is also expensive. I heard that a bowl of almond syrup costs twenty pence, and there are also Xiangyinzi. It’s fifty cents a piece!” Handlebar Style proudly puffed out his chest.

People traveling with me exclaimed that the price was too expensive.

They thought that prices in Yanting County were already very high, but they didn't expect that prices in Fucheng were twice as expensive.

The handlebar type chuckled: "That's natural. Not to mention the high prices, the housing prices over there are even more expensive. I heard that a house in the city can be sold for thousands of dollars. It's still priced but not available, so you can't buy it."

"Hiss--"

Thousands of dollars, when have they ever seen so much money?

Xu Yi blinked and asked him: "How long does it take to get there?"

Chezi said: "It will take more than two days, and you have to stay one night at Di Dian on the way."

Di Dian is a kind of accommodation that can be used as a hotel. Hotels that can store items are mostly located in the suburbs of cities, near river docks and other places. There are written records that Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the early Song Dynasty, had a "guangdi residence and a business shop in Tokyo, which brought him a lot of fame and fortune." It can be seen how profitable this shop was [Note 1].

Knowing that it was so far to go to Tongchuan Mansion, Xu Yi was silent for a long time and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going out for a walk.

Don't be in a hurry, you still need to live your current life well first.

The oxcart was swaying, and soon it stopped at Jin'e Mountain.

Today, Xu Yi does not plan to go to Yilu Mountain again, but wants to take a look around the Golden Ear Mountain.

Jin'e Mountain is located in Exi Town below Yanting County. One side of the mountain is close to Yanting County, and the road is much farther than Yilu Mountain.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yi handed Handlebar Shi two pennies and respectfully asked Handlebar Shih if he would come over again in the afternoon.

The handlebar said: "Yes, all the pilgrims who came to Jin'e Mountain have to go back at this time. If we come here, we can still go a little further."

He regarded Xu Yi as coming to the Jin'e Temple above Jin'e Mountain. Pilgrims.

Xu Yi did not deny it. After thanking him, he carried the basket and took Xiao Huang step by step up the steps made of bluestone bricks. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I could smell the faint smell of incense, and then after turning around, I saw a solemn temple in front of me.

He bowed at the bottom of the steps, turned his toes in another direction, and entered the mountain forest on an uninhabited path.

Except for the traces of humans in the trees around the Golden Goose Temple, after walking inside for another twenty or thirty minutes, there are almost no traces of people.

Xiao Huang barked uneasily, Xu Yi stopped and looked around with squinted eyes.

Then, a few steps away from him and Xiao Huang, he found a green bamboo leaf.

This snake is also called the green bamboo snake, a common species of highly venomous snake. It was coiled around the green vine, motionless, like a pure green vine, but its eyes were staring in Xu Yi's direction.

As if waiting and inviting Xu Yi to arrive.

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, took Xiao Huang Rao away from him. Encountering Zhuyeqing proved that there were other Zhuyeqing here. Xu Yi walked more carefully on the next road.

While investigating, he stopped to dig out fresh herbs.

He has always been lucky, and he dug up a few Chuanqiong plants. Chuanqiong has the effects of promoting blood circulation and qi, dispelling wind and relieving pain. It can be used for many diseases and is a very valuable Chinese medicinal material. It can be used in many medicines and has a wide range of uses. If he can dig out more, Xu Yi plans to keep some for later use.

Although he mainly earns money by selling medicinal herbs, he also needs to prepare for his future as a wandering doctor.

After digging half a basket of medicinal materials, Xu Yi sat on a stone to rest.

He had no experience climbing mountains to collect herbs last time. After bringing the tools for digging herbs, he didn't bring the rest.

This time he learned the lesson and brought not only water but also food.

The plum and vegetable sesame cakes I bought yesterday, even if they cool and harden, you can still smell the aroma of the food when you take them out of the oil paper.

He and Xiao Huang were both hungry, so they broke off half of the sesame cakes to feed Xiao Huang, and the rest went into Xu Yi's stomach.

He was resting on the left and right, and he looked around at the surrounding environment, green mountains and green fields, pristine conditions, and the fragrance of the spring breeze and the fragrance of the wild forest. Looking up, you can see the sun-shading shrubbery, and looking down, you can see green moss, fallen leaves that have been corroded into fertilizer, and various plants.

Suddenly, he saw purple flowers growing in the weeds in the distance.

This flower was inexplicably familiar. Xu Yi quickly stood up and walked closer to check. Sure enough, it was a whole piece of salvia flower.

The purple-blue corolla blooms into a tower shape, bending upward and vertically, which is particularly surprising to see.

Spring and autumn are the seasons for digging Salvia miltiorrhiza. At this time, the Salvia miltiorrhiza grows plumply and can be up to a foot long when dug out. Remove the remaining roots around the roots and clean away the soil covering the surface, so that the brown-red outer surface can be clearly seen.

Salvia is a good thing, and it grows in such a big area here, so it can definitely be sold for a lot of money.

Xu Yi suddenly felt that he was very motivated.

Halfway through digging, he had already figured out how to spend the money.
