Cao Cheng said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. His eyes fell on the boy not far away. Cao Cheng pursed his lips, and the corners of his lips drooped slightly. Are they really just classmates?
Recovering his thoughts, Cao Cheng focused on a crabapple blossom next to him. His phoenix eyes swept across the efficacy marked under the crabapple blossom, and his eyes lit up.
"Qingyue, what do you think of this crabapple tree?"
[Medicinal Crabapple Flower: Effective in treating stubborn headaches, with quick results and no side effects. Price: 100 taels.]
When Cao Cheng saw the introduction of the First-Class Medicinal Plant Garden, he wondered if there were any medicinal plants there that could treat headaches. Unexpectedly, there really were.
My mother has seen so many doctors and taken so many medicines, but her headache hasn't gotten better. It would be great if this medicinal plant really worked.
"The crabapple blossoms are blooming so beautifully." Ye Qingyue praised lightly, and then she shifted her gaze to that place, but the young man was no longer there. She felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
Cao Cheng glanced at the absent-minded Ye Qingyue, drooped his eyelashes, and the joy he had originally felt when he found the medicinal plant faded a little.
He was not asking whether the crabapple blossoms were blooming well.
After a while, he cheered up again and said calmly: "Since you think it's good, then buy it."
Cao Cheng had saved up 100 taels of silver over the years.
If this medicinal plant really has miraculous effects, 100 taels is definitely worth it.
"Let's go back." After buying the medicinal plants, Cao Cheng didn't want to stay in the First-Class Medicinal Plant Garden for some reason.
Ye Qingyue seemed casual as he glanced around the garden but didn't see anyone familiar. He finally suppressed his emotions and left with Cao Cheng.
Almost not long after the two of them left the First-Class Medicinal Plant Garden, Shen Ci appeared from the back hall.
Looking at the direction the two people left, Shen Ci was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
I could hear other people talking.
"That was Ye Qingyue from the Ye family, wasn't she? She's really pretty. I heard she'll be taking the provincial examination in August. She might even become the youngest Juren in Tangzhou Prefecture."
"Ye Qingyue is a famous talented woman in our Tangzhou Prefecture. I don't know how many matchmakers have come to visit our family, and I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future. By the way, who was the young man she was with just now?"
"You may not know this yet, but Ye Qingyue is about to reach marriage, and the Ye family's mistress is worried about Ye Qingyue's marriage. You all know the academician Cao who presided over the college entrance examination this time. The young man just now was Cao Xuezheng's son, Cao Cheng. It is said that the Ye family's mistress likes Cao Cheng very much and wants to arrange a marriage between the two."
"It seems that the two of them are a perfect match, a man of talent and a woman of beauty."
"That's right, I guess if I don't make it, I'll be able to drink Ye Qingyue's wedding wine."
“…”
Shen Ci staggered and held onto the wall to steady himself.
It turned out that the young man was the man Miss Ye was about to marry. No wonder Miss Ye was willing to accompany him and get along with him so intimately.
The boy is cute, pretty and lively, and looks like a lively and likable person. He is a perfect match for Ye Qingyue.
But Shen Ci felt as if a piece of his heart was dug out, and a cold wind suddenly rushed in, causing severe pain.
"Xiao Ci, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Lu Ying found Shen Ci, she saw him standing there in a daze, his eyes dull, as if his soul had been sucked out, which made her feel distressed for no reason.
She couldn't help but pat his shoulder. The boy came back to his senses and looked at her blankly, with sadness in his eyes that he couldn't hide in time.
Lu Ying's eyes darkened and she pressed his shoulder: "Xiao Ci, what happened?"
