Chapter 28 Returning favors In the Xue family's mansion, all the children and female relatives of the Xue family came and went, and they all looked sideways. A girl in a goose-yellow dress was walking in front, and next to her was a young man of similar age. His height had gradually expanded, his eyebrows were handsome, and he was wearing a blue shirt. There was a hook on his leather belt, and a handle hanging on it. A heavy sword with a dark sheath inlaid with copper, and a war bow twisted like gold wire on its back, which looks impressive. They didn't know when such a young man came to the Xue family. I originally planned to go over and get acquainted, but I saw Xue Shuangtao walking together and gave up my mind. Xue Shuangtao said: "Bow and arrow, heavy knife, and then go to the pharmacy with me." "It's impossible to equip you with armor. Grandpa said the Xue family doesn't have armor." "The armor violates the laws of Chen State." Li Guan nodded. But he thought of the old man's heroic appearance in his mind, and for some reason, he only believed half of the girl's words. He believed that Xue Shuangtao really thought so.
As for what the old man Xue Daoyong said. You won't believe even a single punctuation mark. Thanks to the history education he received in at least nine years of compulsory education from childhood to adulthood, Li Guanyi has a very concise view of history. When the world is in chaos, powerful people like the Xue family will definitely have private armed forces and armor. Whenever there is a change, there will always be places where strong men and women rise up and become princes and generals. Xue Family Pharmacy is much larger than Huichun Hall. Huichuntang is the largest pharmacy in the south of Guanyicheng City. In the past, specific medicinal materials were sent to the Xue family every year. After opening the door, the smell of medicine made Li Guanyi feel comfortable and relaxed. He glanced over and recognized Many medicinal materials were produced. Dragon bone, polygala root, polygonum multiflorum vine and other soothing medicines. Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia glutinosa and other blood-tonifying medicines. Qi-tonifying herbs such as ginseng, atractylodes, sedum, and... The young pharmacist's eyes casually glanced over, and he condensed slightly. He saw some unnamed medicinal materials on the cabinet marked for the pharmacist's own use. Most people can't see it, but Li Guan started working with medicinal materials at the age of five and has been studying medicine for eight years. One, recognized at a glance. Morinda officinalis, Curculigo, Dipsacus, Cuscuta, Cynomorium, Psoralen, Asparagus, Eclipta. An aphrodisiac that nourishes yin and nourishes yang? With this strength and formula. Replenishing kidney yang and replenishing essence and blood. Strengthen muscles and bones, stop metrorrhagia? It seems…… The old doctor with a goatee over there noticed the young man's gaze, coughed, moved his steps without changing his expression, and blocked Li Guanyi's sight. He smiled kindly and said: "Well, Miss, and What is this young man doing here?" Xue Shuangtao smiled and said in a gentle tone as usual: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for getting some training materials." The old man took it out at lightning speed that exceeded his previous limit and put it on the table. "Drinking 30 servings of Salvia miltiorrhiza can help circulate Qi. It can also be used to temporarily stop angina pectoris." "In addition, there are ten portions of the Lotus Pill that nourishes both Qi and blood." "Five hemostatic pills and thirty nourishing medicinal packets for bathing; after practicing, thirty medicinal packets are used to promote the flow of Qi and blood and soothe soreness. Take a medicinal bath once a day in the morning to keep your vitality perfect; The second type at night is guaranteed to leave no hidden damage.”
"In addition, my little brother and I hit it off at first sight. This is my personal gift of 10%." The old man who has always been a picky person and is said to be able to urinate even if he holds a toad put a small package on the table. The young man looked shy and smiled slightly: "Thank you, old man. He is proficient in medical skills, but there are so many medicinal materials." , without writing the name, it is really difficult to identify, and the juniors will be confused. " "Perhaps it would be better to clean it up?" A gentle smile of relief appeared on the old man's face: "Little brother is right." "I will definitely pack it up next time!" One old and one young, they understand each other tacitly. The old man added a few more pills to the pill. Then he sent Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao out, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped his forehead. "Why did the Xue family get such a pretty little fox? And she also knows medical skills and prescriptions?" Xue Shuangtao said: "In the past, Mr. Zhang was always... frugal, but today he is very kind to you." Li Guanyi said: "Maybe it's because I used to be a pharmacist." Xue Shuangtao was suspicious and did not ask further. He said: "Elixirs are different from weapons and armor. You can come and receive this month's share every month. Although elixirs are said to be beneficial to practice, Grandpa stipulates that you cannot take more every month. You still have to rely on yourself to practice.” "Well, it's almost done. Just go to the garment workshop." Manager Qu of the garment factory was doing some chores. He was surprised when he saw Xue Shuangtao and Li Guan coming. Then he saw the extra badges on Li Guanyi's waist. His soft eyes became straighter and he stammered. : "This, little brother Li..." Xue Shuangtao said: "I am accompanying Li Keqing here to pick up a piece of Keqing's clothes." Guanshi Qu murmured: "Your guest...?" She looked at the young man, a little absent-minded, and then a trace of humility with clear status appeared on her face, and said: "Yes, Miss, guest, please wait a moment." Li Guanyi bowed slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your help, Sister Qu." Manager Qu's face was startled. When he saw the look on Li Guanyi's face, his smile immediately became more sincere and he said with a smile: "Ke Qing's mouth is still so sweet, good, good, good, wrap it up on my sister." "I will prepare the best clothes for your guest." She twisted her waist and wandered away. Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao were sitting in the place where the garment workshop received guests, drinking tea. The maid in the garment workshop served some snacks, and Li Guanyi's "Broken Formation Song" was used for internal energy training. The body is prone to hunger, so eat slowly. Xue Shuangtao was curious and looked Li Guanyi up and down: "Have you known Guanshi Qu before?" "Yes, I recognized him yesterday when I was picking up my clothes." Xue Shuangtao became even more confused: "Then why did you call her sister?" Li Guan wiped a little residue from the corner of his mouth with his finger, put it in his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "Because she is older than me." "That's it?" "Isn't it strange that there are so many people?"
The conversation ended briefly. Li Guanyi was eating snacks. There was a small table in the middle of the mahogany chair, and Xue Shuangtao was sitting on the mahogany chair on the other side. The snacks were very small and cute, with a soft texture and red bean paste inside. The girl suddenly said: "How old is your guest? " Li Guan said: "More than thirteen years old, and my birthday is about two months away." Xue Shuangtao looked forward and said, "Well, I just celebrated my fourteenth birthday." Li Guan nodded. Xue Shuangtao said: "I am older than you." She paused, her eyes fell on Li Guanyi's face, and said: "I'm older than you too." Li Guanyi seemed to understand something. Did this girl also want him to call her sister? He burst into laughter, feeling that she was really a cute girl. At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and Xue Shuangtao sat back down, her skirt dropped, her hands quietly placed on her knees, her temperament was gentle, and her etiquette could not fault her at all. Elegant lady. Manager Qu smiled and said: "How can you think of such a coincidence today? In my clothing workshop, there happens to be a piece of clothing similar to the guest's stature, and it also happens to have a leather belt inlaid with jade. Sir, come and try?" Li Guanyi put down the snacks and followed Manager Qu to change his clothes. It was the same clear blue shirt, but the material was completely different. There were dark patterns on it, which didn't make it look overly gorgeous or frivolous, but it had a solemnity that came from a noble family. There was a scented sachet hanging around his waist, and the leather belt was of a better quality, with a round white jade in the middle as decoration. The Chen Dynasty in the south was beautifully decorated. Even belts come in various styles, with patterns of fairy flowers, lychees, barbarians, and child actors. The materials range from leather to gold, iron, jade, and rhino horns, all of which are completely different. In the past, they were a symbol of social status, but now the control over this has been gradually relaxed, and the court no longer cares if precious jade is decorated on a leather belt. Manager Qu clapped his hands and laughed, "She has a good appearance and a good demeanor." "What a young man." Xue Shuangtao took a look and had to admit that even in the Xue family and other aristocratic families that they were on good terms with, there might be people more handsome than the young man in front of him, but he had never seen such a calm demeanor. With a sword on his waist and a bow in one hand, his brows were raised, and his youthful spirit matched the willows in spring and the galloping horses. Manager Qu smiled as he escorted the two young men away. As they passed the gate, a maid said, "Manager, isn't this the dress that the young master wanted?" "Would it be a bad idea to give it to this guest official in advance?" Manager Qu said lazily, "The people in the clothing factory naturally listen to me. That young master is arrogant and comes here to yell and shout. It doesn't matter if it's later. Just hand it over before the appointed date." The maid said, "After all, the young master has a higher status." She smiled and said, "If it comes to status, then the young master is higher." "But I felt relieved when she called me sister. She didn't look down on us, so I was willing to give her some convenience. Everyone has some strange tempers when they live in this world." "I just hope that the people who make me feel comfortable can live the most comfortable life." ……………… "The pills, bows and arrows, weapons, and clothes have all been changed." "I'll take you to the place where the books are hidden tomorrow." "In addition, the guest official can be equipped with a Xue family carriage, and two maids can be arranged to help handle the affairs of your courtyard and take care of the female relatives. Remember to come early tomorrow."
The driver Zhao Dabing heard that a guest official wanted to use his carriage, so he drove over. When he saw the clothes on Li Guanyi, he was stunned for a long time. He said, "Little brother... No, guest official, didn't you say yesterday that being a guest official was a distant thing?" How come, after just one day of not seeing you, you become a guest? There has been no trace of him at home for ten years. Have I been drunk for ten years because of the glass of wine I drank yesterday? Li Guanyi thought about it and smiled, "Brother Zhao, because that's what the old saying goes." “Every day feels like a year.” Zhao Dabing opened his mouth, and after realizing the joke in this sentence, the envy and self-reproach turned into a laugh. The envy and even jealousy dissipated and subsided. He shook his head helplessly and said with an envious smile: "Keqing, you are really talented." "Please get in the car!" The young man paused and asked again: "Do you have any more of Brother Zhao's salt-baked peanuts? I've never tasted such a delicious snack before." "I'm a little greedy." Zhao Da Bing was slightly startled, then he became a little proud and laughed: "Hahaha, of course I have!" "If you want to eat, I will definitely prepare some for you." Xue Shuangtao watched the thirteen-year-old boy behave in society and reminded him, "Guest, please come early tomorrow." "Ah." Li Guanyi had already stepped onto the carriage, but suddenly he thought of something and got off. Xue Shuangtao: "Hmm???" Li Guanyi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He just said: "Hold on." For some reason, Li Guanyi seemed unable to speak. He turned around, patted his face, adjusted his temperament, and then turned around. The sun was warm, and the Xue family was coming and going. The handsome boy had a shy, clean and simple smile on his face. "Thank you very much for today." He paused: "Sister Xue." (End of this chapter)
