Chapter 218 Maybe
"He is not on the list. He will continue to take the imperial examination this year."
Shi Zelan's eyes suddenly brightened: "Xiao Yingzi, I haven't seen that person. Does he not go out often?"
Xiao Yingzi saw the light in Shi Zelan's eyes and said quickly, "That brother has already arranged a marriage.
The two families have already agreed that they will get married this time regardless of whether the brother from that family can succeed or not. ”
"Have you seen the woman who is going to marry here?"
Shi Zelan asked more curiously, and Xiao Yingzi's heart calmed down at once.
"I heard the girl from that family tell me that her sister-in-law is very beautiful and her temperament is gentler than water.
After she gets married, we will have a chance to meet her. ”
Shi Zelan looked at the expression on Xiao Yingzi's face and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yingzi asked Shi Zelan with some concern: "Do you like scholars very much?"
Shi Zelan nodded: "Of course I like it. Who doesn't like beautiful people and things?"
"That brother is good-looking. You should be happy to see him."
Shi Zelan looked at the expression on Xiao Yingzi's face and said, "It's hard to say.
You see, my two brothers are both very handsome. ”
Xiao Yingzi said leisurely: "They are too young.
That brother had many young ladies waiting at the entrance of the academy, just wanting to catch a glimpse of him from afar. ”
Shi Zelan laughed when she heard what Xiao Yingzi said: "They are so brave and they know how to keep their distance."
Seeing that Shi Zelan didn't show any disdain on her face, Xiao Yingzi was surprised and asked, "Don't you think they are acting frivolously?"
“They just look from a distance, they don’t chase after men every day.
They are just curious and want to appreciate the beauty and things without affecting their own lives. ”
Xiao Yingzi lowered her voice and said to Shi Zelan: "Don't tell my mother what I told you."
Shi Zelan immediately agreed: "I know, this is our secret."
Xiao Yingzi nodded happily and asked, "When are you going up the mountain again? The kind that comes back on the same day?"
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Let's wait until the top scholar is paraded through the streets."
After Xiao Yingzi left, Shi Xiaoliu went into the kitchen and shook her head at Shi Zelan and said, "So you little girls would discuss this kind of thing in private."
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, do you and Xia Yu discuss beautiful women and beautiful things in private?"
"We won't discuss these things. There are no ugly people in our sect."
In the evening, Shi Xiaoliu hung the lantern outside the gate of the yard, and people passing by reached out and knocked on the gate.
Shi Xiaoliu went over and opened the gate to the yard. He smiled and said a few words to the person outside.
The next day, the three teenagers brought a batch of dried herbs. They and Shi Xiaoliu expressed their desire to go to the herbal medicine shop to try their hand at it themselves.
Shi Xiaoliu supported them to try it, and also asked them to ask the master chef in the pharmacy if there was any better way to deal with this.
Half an hour later, the three young men came back, followed by the owner and the chef of the pharmacy.
The three young men knocked on the door nervously. Shi Xiaoliu went over to open the yard door and saw people outside the yard door.
"Little Six Brother, the shopkeeper and the master chef said they want to ask you something."
Shi Xiaoliu therefore welcomed the guests into the courtyard, and they sat down at the table in the courtyard.
The shopkeeper handed the gift box to Shi Xiaoliu: "Master Xiaoliu, this is the newly harvested ginseng."
After Shi Xiaoliu opened the box and looked at the ginseng, he pushed the gift box to the shopkeeper and said, "This is a hundred-year-old ginseng. You handled it very well. The medicinal properties are well preserved."
The shopkeeper and the master chef were all ecstatic: "Master Xiaoliu, our shop is the largest medicine shop around here. We will offer you the master chef's price. Please take a look at the herbs."
"I am not very skilled in the craft, so I don't dare to show off my skills outside casually."
"When will your master come back? Can we come and ask for advice?"
Shi Zelan brought the tea over. After the shopkeeper took a sip, he said in surprise, "This tea tastes good. Do you have any extra?"
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "If you like this kind of tea, let the three of them pick it and send it to the medicine shop."
The shopkeeper and the master chef exchanged glances. Having met so many people, they naturally knew that Shi Xiaoliu was indeed not interested in personal gain.
Shi Xiaoliu is such a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, so his master might not be able to find a way to please him.
Their eyes fell on the three young men, and they immediately had other plans in mind.
When the shopkeeper and the master chef left, they left the hundred-year-old ginseng behind, saying it was a gift for friends.
Shi Xiaoliu therefore gave them a bottle of medicine in return, and said to them, "It contains ginseng, which is good for the human body."
The three young men escorted the shopkeeper and the master chef out of the street. The shopkeeper said to them, "This Master Xiaoliu has real skills. You should learn from him.
One day, after they leave, you can come and work in our pharmacy. ”
The three young men understood what the shopkeeper meant, but they still showed reluctance on their faces.
The master chef whispered to them, “You are very lucky. Although you have never worshipped him as your master, he still has the intention to teach you.
You respect him, and any little bit of skill he lets slip from his fingers is enough for you to learn for a while. ”
The shopkeeper and the chef were walking on the road, both of them were still sighing.
"You think this young man is so capable, which family did he come from to gain experience?
Why haven’t I heard of the Shi family before? ”
"Boss, I heard that his family has lived in seclusion for many years, but he is old, so the elders in the family brought him out to broaden his horizons."
"In a couple of days, we will come to visit their elders. If we can invite such an expert to come to our store and give us some pointers, our store will definitely have a good reputation."
The three young men were still feeling a little uneasy on their way back. They took the stranger with them without Shi Xiaoliu's permission.
The three young men said "sorry" to Shi Xiaoliu with some guilt, and they also explained the purpose of their actions.
"Little Six, we think they will always find out where we learned our skills. If we don't bring them here,
Afterwards, they will be able to come to you, so just bring them to see you. ”
After listening to the explanations of the three young men, Shi Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Just this once. No matter who it is, you don't have to bring them to me in the future."
The three young men exhaled, then looked at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, can we still go up the mountain with you?"
"Sure. Next time we go up the mountain to pick some tea leaves, I'll tell you how to fry them."
The three young men were very happy. After they left, Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, you are the kindest and most thoughtful person I have ever met."
“When we are gone one day, they will have to explain to the world what they have learned.
And if they could take the opportunity to enter the pharmacy and have the chance to study medicine seriously, there might be three more famous doctors in this world in the future. ”
