Taiping Order

Chapter 28 Repaying the Plum

In the Xue family's mansion, all the children and women from the Xue family looked sideways.

A girl in a goose yellow long skirt was walking in front of her. She was a boy of similar age. She had slowly stretched out her height, with a heroic eyebrows, a blue shirt, a belt hook on her leather belt, and a handle hanging The heavy knife with a dark patterned sheath is inlaid with copper, and a war bow like a twisted gold wire is on its back, which is heroic and powerful.

They didn't know when such a young man came to the Xue family.

I originally planned to go over and meet her, but I saw her walking with Xue Shuangtao and gave up my mind.

Xue Shuangtao said, "Bow and arrow, heavy knife, and then go to the pharmacy with me."

"It is impossible to equip you with armor. Grandpa said the Xue family does not have armor."

"The armor violates the laws of the State of Chen."

Li Guan nodded.

But he thought of the old man's heroic appearance in his mind. For some reason, he only believed half of the girl's words.

He believed that Xue Shuangtao really thought so.

As for the words of the old man Xue Daoyong.

That's not even a punctuation mark.

Thanks to the history education in compulsory education from childhood to adulthood in the previous life, Li Guanyi had an extremely concise historical view. When the world was in chaos, a powerful man like the Xue family would definitely have private armed forces and armor, and the world would have When changes occur, there will always be some powerful people jumping up and becoming kings, princes, generals and ministers.

Xue’s pharmacy is much larger than Huichuntang.

Huichuntang is the largest pharmacy in the south of Guanyi City. In the past, specific medicinal materials were sent to the Xue family every year. After opening the door, a piece of medicine smelled like a piece of medicine. Li Guanyi felt comfortable and relaxed, and his eyes swept over and recognized. Many medicinal materials have been produced.

Dragon bone, Yuanzhi, Polygonum multiflorum and other medicines to calm the mind.

Angelica, Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia glutinosa and other blood-replenishing medicines.

Ginseng, Atractylodes, Sedum and other Qi-enhancing medicines, as well as...

The young pharmacist's eyes swept through it casually and slightly condensed. He saw some medicinal materials that were not marked on the cabinet marked by the pharmacist himself. Most people couldn't see it, but Li Guan, who started dealing with medicinal materials at the age of five and had been studying medicine for eight years. 1, recognize it at a glance.

Morinica celestialis, immortal grass, severa, dodder, septic chinensis, yang, psorale, asparagus, and ink drought lotus.

Aphrodisiac that nourishes yin and nourishes yang? This strength and formula.

Tonify kidney yang and nourish essence and blood.

Strengthen muscles and bones to stop melancholy? It seems that...

The old doctor with a goatee there noticed the young man's sight, coughed, his face moved his feet without changing his face, blocking Li Guanyi's sight, and smiled gently, "Well, Miss, there is still a What are the young masters doing here?”

Xue Shuangtao smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Old Zhang is working hard, please get a piece of cultivation materials."

The old man took it out at a lightning speed that exceeded the limit of the past and placed it on the table.

"Thirty servings of Salvia miltiorrhiza can help promote qi. If there is angina pectoris, it can be used to stop it."

"Ten parts of the Shengmai Lotus Pill that can replenish both qi and blood."

"Five parts of hemostatic medicine, thirty parts of nourishing medicine used to bathe; after practicing, thirty parts of medicine to promote the flow of qi and blood and relieve pain, get up and bathe once a day in the morning to make your vitality complete; The second category at night is guaranteed to leave no hidden injuries."

"In addition, when I met my little brother, I met, which was 10% of what I personally gave."

The old man who has always been stingy and is called "I have to **** out when I pinch the toad and squeezed a small package on the table. The young man looked shy and smiled, "Thank you, senior, senior, who is proficient in medical skills, but these many medicinal materials , if you don’t write a name, it’s really hard to identify it, and the younger generations are confused."

"Maybe it's better to clean up?"

The old man showed a gentle smile of relief on his face: "Little brother is right."

"I will definitely pack it next time!"

One old and one young, tacitly understood.

The old man added a few more to the pills.

Then he sent Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao out, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped his forehead.

"Why did such a beautiful little fox come to the Xue family? He still knows medical skills and prescriptions?"

Xue Shuangtao said, "Old Zhang used to be... frugal, but he treats you very well today."

Li Guanyi said: "Maybe it's because I have also been a pharmacist before."

Xue Shuangtao was suspicious and did not ask, saying, "Pills and weapons and armor are different. You can come to collect this month's portion every month. Although elixirs are beneficial to practice, my grandfather stipulates that they should not take more every month. You still have to rely on yourself to practice.”

"Well, it's almost done, just go to the garment shop."

Manager Qu from the garment shop was handling some chores. When he saw Xue Shuangtao and Li Guan came, he was surprised. Then he saw that Li Guan had more waist cards around his waist. His soft eyes were straightened a little and he stuttered. : "This, Little Brother Li..."

Xue Shuangtao said, "I will accompany Li Keqing here to get a piece of the guest's clothes."

Manager Qu murmured: "Guest Master..."

She looked at the young man and was a little lost. Then a hint of humility appeared on her face with a clear status and said, "Yes, Miss, Guest, please wait."

Li Guanyi bowed slightly and said in a gentle voice: "I'm sorry, Sister Qu."

Manager Qu's face was stunned. Seeing Li Guan's expression on his face, his smile became much more sincere, and he smiled:

"The guest is still so sweet, so be sure, just wrap it up with my sister."

"I will prepare the best clothes for the guest minister."

She twisted her waist and went there gracefully. Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao sat in the place where the garment shop was hosting guests to drink tea. The maids in the garment shop served some snacks. Li Guanyi's "Breaking the Formation" was infuriated with internal energy. My body is prone to hunger, so I ate some slowly.

Xue Shuangtao was curious and looked at Li Guanyi up and down: "Did you know Manager Qu before?"

"Well, I recognized it when I took my clothes yesterday."

Xue Shuangtao was even more confused: "Then why did you call her sister?"

Li Guan wiped a little bit of residue on the corner of her mouth with one finger, put it in her mouth, thought for a while, and said, "Because she is a little older than me."

"That's it?"

"Isn't it true that there are so many people?"

The conversation ended briefly.

Li Guan was eating dim sum. There was a small table in the middle of the mahogany chair, and Xue Shuangtao on the mahogany chair on the other side. The dim sum was made very small and cute, with a soft and glutinous texture. There was red beans inside. The girl suddenly said, "How old are you? ”

Li Guanyi said: "I'm over thirteen years old, and I'm about two months away from my birthday."

Xue Shuangtao looked ahead and said, "Well, I just passed 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."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Li Guanyi seemed to understand something. Does this girl also want him to call her sister?

He laughed and thought he was really a cute girl. At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and Xue Shuangtao sat back, his skirt drooped, his hands quietly placed on his knees, his gentle temperament, which was a matter of etiquette. Elegant lady.

Manager Qu smiled and said, "How could such a coincidence happen today? In my garment shop, there was a piece of clothing similar to the guest's body, and it happened to have a leather belt inlaid with jade. Sir, come and try it?”

Li Guan put down his snacks and changed his clothes with Manager Qu.

The same clear blue shirt has completely different materials, with dark patterns in it, which does not look too gorgeous and frivolous, but also has a kind of solemnity from the aristocratic families. The stinky sachets are hanging from the waist, and the leather belt is also better. There is a round white jade in the middle as decoration.

The Chen Dynasty of the Southern Kingdom was decorated with gorgeous literary style.

Even the belts are available in various styles, including fairy flowers, lychees, Shiman, and opera children. The materials range from leather to gold and iron, jade, and rhinoceros horns. They are completely different. In the past, they were symbols of their status, but now the control over this is gradually relaxed. The court would not care about the decoration of jade on the leather belt.

Manager Qu clapped his hands and smiled, "He has a good appearance and a good demeanor."

"What a young man."

Xue Shuangtao took a look and had to admit that even among the Xue family and the family of friends, there were some handsome men in front of him who were more handsome than the boy in front of him, but he had never had the calmness. He wore a sword on his waist, held a bow in one hand, and his eyebrows were flying. It is the youth's spirit that matches the spring willows and the fast horses whip.

Manager Qu smiled and sent the two young men out of here. He followed the door. A maid next to him said, "Manager, isn't this clothes the young master wanted before?"

"Wouldn't it be bad to give this guest minister in advance?"

Manager Qu said lazily: "I can hear from the garment workshop. The young master is so angry that he comes here to shout and yell. It will be late. I will hand it over before the prescribed day."

The maid said, "After all, the young master has a higher status."

She smiled and said, "If it's about the status, then that young master will be taller."

"But that sister called me so much that I felt relieved. I didn't look down on us in my eyes, so I was willing to give him more convenience. People must have some strange tempers in their lives."

"I'm just hope that the person who makes me feel comfortable will live the most comfortable life."

………

"The pills, bows, arrows, weapons, and clothes have all been replaced."

"The place where books are collected will be brought with you tomorrow."

"In addition, the guest official can be equipped with the Xue family's carriage, or arrange two maids to help deal with the affairs of your courtyard and take care of the female family. Remember to come early tomorrow."

The coachman Zhao Dabing heard that a guest official wanted to use a car, so he rushed to the car. When he saw Li Guan's clothes on his body, he couldn't come back for a long time. He said, "Little brother... No, guest official, you were not yesterday." I said, is it a long way to go to the guest?”

Why? If you don’t see each other for a day, you will become a guest official?

I have never seen any sign of my family for ten years.

I had a glass of wine yesterday. Have I been drunk for ten years?

Li Guan thought for a while and smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, because that's what the old saying is."

“Life is like a year.”

Zhao Dabing opened his mouth. After the envy and self-pitying thoughts of the little joke in this sentence, it turned into a laugh. The envy and even the jealousy dissipated and calmed down. He shook his head helplessly. He smiled enviously and said, "You are so talented, guest."

"Please get in the car!"

The young man paused and asked again:

"Is Brother Zhao's salt-baked peanuts still available? I have never eaten such a good snack."

"I'm a little hungry."

Zhao Dabing was slightly stunned, and then he was a little proud and laughed: "Hahaha, there is one!"

"If you want to eat, I will definitely prepare it for you here."

Xue Shuangtao looked at the thirteen-year-old boy who was in good condition and reminded him: "Guest, come early tomorrow."

"Um."

Li Guan had already stepped on the carriage one by one, but suddenly thought of something and walked off the carriage.

Xue Shuangtao: "Huh???"

Li Guan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but still didn't say anything, just said:

"Hold on."

For some reason, Li Guanyi seemed to be 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, and the handsome boy had a face. A shy, clean and simple smile.

"Thank you today."

He paused:

"Sister Xue."
