Chapter 353 Don’t you understand what Master Zhong is thinking?
Discussions arose.
Only a few people understand the reason for adding angelica to Longdan Decoction. Most people who are not familiar with soup medicine are scratching their heads and can't figure it out, and they keep asking people around them.
Tang Chengde looked at Qiao Xi and said with great satisfaction: "The questions Qiao Xi drew were among the more difficult ones set up by a few of us from the old family. Qiao Xi, tell me why you thought of adding Angelica dahurica."
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised them again, her eyes were confident and firm: "The symptoms are as mentioned above, a three or four-year-old child vomited, had abdominal pain and wheezed, and screamed in fear. This is a confirmed case of pediatric epilepsy, but I guess the wheezing and fear is caused by strangers. It's what we often say, the child saw a stranger, or was frightened by the outside environment."
"So we should add angelica or ginseng. Both angelica and ginseng are good medicines for nourishing blood and vital energy, but they can easily cause internal heat. So I only picked angelica, which is warm and slightly dry."
She has thought it through very carefully.
When I finished speaking, there was no longer any objection.
Xiang Mingzhu's face turned even more ashen, she knew very well that Qiao Xi had solved the problem very well!
Under such circumstances, he actually had to consider which one was more suitable, angelica or ginseng, and he was able to get all the medicinal materials despite Li Songwen's obstruction.
Her heart is so quiet!
Her master and uncle Lu Bannong once said that people with calm minds, steady hands and high talents in this field are very scary!
Such people will never be tarnished and will reach the top one day!
A trace of fear arose in Xiang Mingzhu's heart!
What kind of person did she get into trouble with? Qiao Xi was obviously much younger than her. She was just a girl who had just started out with a little luck.
Xiang Mingzhu's brows were furrowed and her back was tense.
What's even more embarrassing is not that Qiao Xi won, but that she lost and had to fulfill the bet!
Xiang Mingzhu wanted to leave here immediately!
Tang Chengde glanced at her and said calmly, "Do you have any objections?"
"no!"
"No more."
If they were to draw a question like this, they might not be able to think about it more than Qiao Xi.
At such an urgent moment, who would pay attention to such words? I didn't expect that the old Chinese medicine doctors would also set traps. It seems that they have increased the difficulty of the competition this year.
The standings are finalized!
Qiao Xi is the first in the primary election!
Second place in the primary election is Mingzhu!
Surprisingly, the third place winner, Shen Xuanzhi, and Li Songwen did not make it into the top 100. He was busy messing with Qiao Xi, and he also drew a tricky question, so his points in the second round were zero.
I'm very angry at the moment.
As soon as the result was announced, Xiang Mingzhu turned around and quickly left through the side door.
Sun Shao yelled at the top of his lungs: "Xiang Mingzhu, I accept defeat!"
"Bet!"
"To Mingzhu!"
Liu Yi also joined in the commotion, and then more people shouted Xiang Mingzhu's name.
Xiang Mingzhu had to stop.
Qiao Xi walked slowly towards her and said, "Can't you afford to lose? Don't forget that our bet is written in black and white and you can't get away from it. Why not fulfill it today?"
"Qiao Xi, you are going too far."
Qiao Xi said, "If I lose, you will only make things worse. You will want to trample both me and the master into the mud. Besides, you were the one who instigated the bet in the first place!"
"you……"
Xiang Mingzhu gritted her teeth and looked around, feeling that everyone was laughing at her.
If she really said that, Lu Bangnong would not let her off easily!
"Xiang Mingzhu, can't you say it?" Qiao Xi pressed.
She is rarely so aggressive.
Li Songwen wanted to step forward to help Xiang Mingzhu, but was stopped by Shen Xuanzhi. With a hint of gloom in his eyes, he said, "You provoked the bet yourself, and now you want to shirk your responsibility after losing. Are all the descendants of the Thirteen Ghost Needles this kind of person? That's all."
Shen Xuanzhi seemed to dislike the Lu family.
Xiang Mingzhu was in a dilemma.
Suddenly her eyes fell on Zhong Shao in the corner, and Zhong Shao told Wan Jiang something. Wan Jiang then slowly walked towards them, and Xiang Mingzhu seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
Qiao Xi frowned, it was the Zhong family again.
That Mr. Zhong wants to help Xiang Mingzhu?
Wan Jiang walked up to them in public and greeted them.
Then he said to Xiang Mingzhu, "Miss Xiang, can we talk for a moment?"
"good."
He took a few steps towards Mingzhu and asked impatiently, "Assistant Wan, does Mr. Zhong have any way to help me out of this predicament? I really can't say those words."
Wan Jiang complained in his heart, why did he provoke others to make a bet in the first place? It was obviously not justifiable.
He said amiably, "Mr. Zhong means that you should be willing to admit defeat. If we lose, we should admit it generously." He whispered, "Miss Xiang, Mr. Zhong likes generous girls. He doesn't really care about your medical skills. Otherwise, who would be more suitable than Lu Yingxue?"
"Besides, it was you who lost to Miss Qiao because you were not as skilled as her. It was not the Lu family's Thirteen Needles that lost, and everyone knows that. It was just a casual remark, and people will look down on you if you refuse to pay. At most, when you return to the imperial capital, Young Master Zhong will say a few good words for you to the head of the Lu family."
Xiang Mingzhu licked her lips and asked, "Will he really help me?"
Wan Jiang did not agree, but just said: "The marriage token is in your hands. Don't you understand what Master Zhong is thinking?"
These words slightly soothed Xiang Mingzhu's wounded heart, and she nodded.
"But……"
Wan Jiang continued to exaggerate: "Mr. Zhong likes girls who are brave and responsible. He hopes that Miss Xiang can consider the overall situation. Since you lost, you must take responsibility. If you want to avoid even such a thing, how can you be the mistress of a big family in the future?"
Xiang Mingzhu's heart was moved by what he said, and she glanced at the lazy Zhong Shao in the corner.
Is Mr. Zhong testing her?
The "mistress of the big family" that Wan Jiang mentioned should be the Zhong family.
"Miss Xiang, please make your own decision." Wan Jiang stared at her and said.
Xiang Mingzhu gritted her teeth and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Okay. Please ask Assistant Wan to tell Mr. Zhong that I did this for him. I hope he won't let me down."
"Of course, I will tell you."
Wan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, finally convincing her.
At the same time, he also felt that the beauty trap was indeed useful and the "Thirty-Six Strategies" were not deceiving.
Xiang Mingzhu took a deep breath, turned around and slowly walked towards Qiao Xi. Her eyes were full of resentment, and she stared at Qiao Xi and said, "You are just lucky, I lost. This is just the preliminary round, it won't be so easy for you to win in the capital."
The imperial capital is the Lu family's territory.
Qiao Xi looked at her coldly: "Does the imperial capital still eat people?"
Xiang Mingzhu said with a gloomy face: "The Imperial Capital will not eat people, but it will make people live a life worse than death." She glanced at Qiao Xi's wrist, "There are many other masters in the Imperial Capital who were promoted directly without participating in the preliminary election. Qiao Xi, I don't believe you will be so lucky next time!"
Qiao Xi said coldly: "Am I relying on good luck?"
Xiang Mingzhu snorted coldly, then walked around Qiao Xi and headed towards the platform of the Chinese medicine clinic.
