Kang Qingtang's strength was astonishing. In just a few days, a dilapidated medical center was already decorated with splendor.
What's more, it is undeniable that Luo Xiangyi is getting married.
As a mother's family, there is nothing wrong with the arrangement.
There was a lot of joy as far as the eye could see. Master and all the senior brothers were happy, but Luo Xiangyi was the only one who was absent-minded.
Perhaps, there is another person, Li Zijing.
Luo Xiangyi had just finished dispensing the medicine in his hands, and when he looked up, he saw Li Zijing going to the room with a cold face.
Kong Ling's hand was still bandaged with medicinal powder. Seeing Luo Xiangyi pause for a long time, he followed her gaze and understood what was going on. He said: "Your senior brother is like this. He never has a smiling face. But Ah! Your wedding this time coincides with the birthday of the senior brother. Whenever he is born, we always suffer."
After Kong Ling finished speaking, he felt relaxed.
Who doesn't know that the eldest brother is the most picky, not to mention the best food and clothing, and even his thoughts.
Every time it was his birthday, the juniors would break their heads trying to come up with a unique idea, and they would inevitably be ridiculed in the end.
This time, Luo Xiangyi's wedding date coincided with Li Zijing's wedding date.
Naturally, everyone focused on the wedding, and Xu annoyed Li Zijing.
Kong Ling added: "Let me tell you! He can't be entirely blamed for the departure of the sixth brother. Who wouldn't be upset if he had to face a competitor like the senior brother?"
Mo Xing glanced at him and said, "Second Senior Brother, please keep your voice down, don't let Master hear you."
Kong Ling always spoke straightforwardly, but Qin Zheng's name was not mentioned in Kang Qing Hall.
Who doesn't know that besides Li Zijing, the person Master likes most in Kang Qingtang is Qin Zheng.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Master likes Qin Zheng the most.
Compared with Li Zijing who was self-taught, Qin Zheng's medical skills were all taught step by step by his master.
Compared to Li Zijing's arrogance and unruliness, he prefers Qin Zheng's pragmatism and prudence.
When Qin Zheng became the imperial physician, Li Kui did not eat a grain of rice for two days. He was not preventing his apprentices from having a better future, but he was unwilling to do so. His favorite apprentice left him in this situation.
Two days later, the master lost a lot of weight, and immediately announced that Qin Zheng would be removed from the medical history.
Everyone knows that Qin Zheng and Li Zijing, one is Zhuge Kongming, and the other is Zhou Yu. How can they be bright if they are born with Yu?
After all, Zhuge had his own initiative, but this young master was fearless. No one could stop him, and no one could guess his thoughts. It is said that no sword is better than a sword.
When Qin Zheng met him, there was a gap that he could never cross.
Luo Xiangyi said lightly: "Eldest Brother's birthday?"
"Yes!" Kong Ling replied.
He thought for a while and then said: "Xiao Qi, I suggest you just pretend not to know, so as not to treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs."
Mo Xing smiled, Kong Ling always spoke freely, and he also always helped Kong Ling smooth his words.
But this time he also agreed with what Kong Ling said.
But Luo Xiangyi didn't take their words to heart at all.
In order to help her learn more about calligraphy, Li Zijing specially gave him a pair of calligraphy and paintings. More importantly, Li Zijing was the closest person after his mother.
What you say should be expressed.
After all, she was about to marry Kang Qingtang, so they might have fewer opportunities to meet each other in the future.
The most important thing now is money.
For a long time, the senior brothers didn't see Luo Xiangyi, and they didn't even see her eating out. But when they saw the candlelight in her room, they decided.
Not dead yet, still alive.
Yao Ya was worried about Luo Xiangyi's condition several times and knocked on the door several times, but every time she didn't open the door, and the sounds coming from the room were extremely normal.
Xu Shi felt that it was inevitable to be nervous when getting married for the first time, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Li Zijing passed by Luo Xiangyi's room several times and wanted to knock on the door, but he still strode away.
In the middle of the night, there was movement in Luo Xiangyi's room.
I saw her carrying a basket and carefully closing the doors and windows. Even her steps were extremely light.
There was no one guarding the door of the medical center. After all, there was nothing to steal in a medical center except for some medicinal materials.
No matter how favored the fifth prince was, no matter how bold the theft was, he would not dare to attack Kang Qingtang.
Luo Xiangyi came out of the medical center smoothly.
She also breathed a sigh of relief, and her steps gradually became thicker. She didn't have to worry about any noise. When she arrived at the pawn shop, she poured out all the medicinal materials in the basket for the boss to check.
The pawnshop owner was a little confused and said, "Little girl, do you know how precious this medicinal material is, are you sure you want to sell it?"
The boss didn't know that Luo Xiangyi was Kang Qingtang's apprentice. He only knew that she came to sell medicinal materials again and again.
Once or twice is enough, but if it happens three or five times, the pawnshop owner becomes a little wary.
The boss would not lose money no matter how much he collected such good medicinal materials, but he was an honest man and was afraid that the little girl would not understand anything and would end up selling the medicinal materials in his hands at a low price.
"I want to sell."
Luo Xiangyi was extremely determined, and the boss had no reason to refuse such a profitable deal, so he simply bought all her medicinal materials at once.
The moment he got the money, Luo Xiangyi turned around and walked into a small shop.
The store was not big, and the inside was even more narrow and dark. She turned sideways and walked through the alley full of debris. She finally walked into the so-called "Golden House."
Rare treasures can be seen everywhere, including celadon bottles from past dynasties and handwritings left by famous artists. These things are often hard to find.
But the owner of this shop placed these sundries randomly.
It seems that this small shop is independent of the whole world. Here, there is no so-called fame and fortune, let alone the aura of famous people.
All are placed equally on the shelves.
Just waiting for the destined person to take it back.
Luo Xiangyi took the silver earned from selling herbal medicine during this period and placed it all on the table.
The shop owner heard the noise and came out of the back room. When he saw Luo Xiangyi coming, he was not idle. He turned around and went back to the house to get a resurrection grass and handed it to Luo Xiangyi.
Luo Xiangyi did not answer, but was a little confused, "I know that the resurrection grass is difficult to find for a hundred years. My little money is not enough. Why boss?"
"You want to ask, why did I sell it to you?"
The boss smiled.
Luo Xiangyi nodded.
"What else could it be for, other than just a chance to meet each other?"
Seeing that Luo Xiangyi was still hesitant, he turned around and left with the resurrection grass, "You don't want it and I take it?"
Luo Xiangyi grabbed the resurrection grass and thanked the boss with a smile.
She never thought this time would go so smoothly.
She has been to this shop many times, and every time she comes to ask about the price of resurrection grass, the boss waves his hand and says, "Not for sale! Priceless! No negotiation!"
Seeing that Li Zijing's birthday was coming, she had no choice but to give it a try with the money.
Thinking that if the boss refused, she would simply stay in the store and do some small chores.
It seems that the boss is really a kind-hearted person.
I gave it as I was told, and it was no use saying I wouldn’t buy it. It was just from his shop.
It looks unremarkable on the outside, but actually there is a lot going on inside.
After getting the resurrection grass, Luo Xiangyi hurried back to Kang Qingtang. The streets were empty. Although there was no curfew in Nanxia City, in such a war-torn period, most people avoided going out at night.
Luo Xiangyi's steps became faster and faster. Fortunately, no one noticed her when she rushed back to the room.
She had been sneaking out silently like this for several nights.
When she was still in Luofu, her mother had no monthly allowance. If she had only followed the food arrangement in the kitchen, she would have died of hunger long ago.
At that time, she worked during the day and collected herbs at night to support the family.
She recognized all the herbs for miles around.
During this period, she went to collect herbs every night, hoping to earn some money and buy a birthday gift for Li Zijing.
It's a pity that she is so poor that even if she tries her best, she can only earn a few taels of silver.
If the boss hadn't been a temperamental person, she might not have been able to get such good medicinal materials as resurrection grass.
That day she saw a medicine in the Difficult Medicine Sutra. The medicine was not intended to cure diseases.
More like a flashback.
Luo Xiangyi remembered that before her mother passed away, the heartbreaking pain made her unable to say a word.
The function of this medicine is to extend the life of a dying person by one hour.
This medicine can prevent patients from feeling any pain, so they no longer have the regret of not being able to speak.
She thought that Li Zijing didn't care about fame and fortune. Maybe for him, such a precious medicine was what he wanted.
Luo Xiangyi completed her final experiment under the candlelight.
It worked.
Little did he know that there was a figure outside already standing at Luo Xiangyi's door.
Li Zijing waited outside for a long time, just to see what Luo Xiangyi was up to. When he saw her sneaking back from outside, the sound of bells was ringing again in the house.
She wasn't sure what it was about, but suddenly the sound in the room disappeared.
But the candlelight did not go out.
It was getting late at night, so it was really inappropriate to knock on the door rashly. Besides, why should he care about Luo Xiangyi? She was going to get married soon anyway, and everything had nothing to do with him.
But despite thinking this, he didn't move even half a step.
Li Zijing was even a little worried. There was no movement in the room, but the candle was not extinguished. If the candle burned, the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Zijing called at the door, "Xiaoqi?"
There was no sound in the room, as if there was no one in the room.
But he knew that the people inside had not come out for a long time. He was a little worried and shouted inside a few more times, but he didn't get any response.
Luo Xiangyi didn't eat or drink these days, and didn't even leave the house.
It is very likely that she had already fainted in the room.
Li Zijing didn't care about etiquette anymore and turned sideways and rushed towards the door. He used all his strength and was about to open the door within two clicks.
Li Zijing ignored his swaying body and quickly looked around for Luo Xiangyi.
Fortunately, I saw her on the bed.
But as she lay there, she didn't seem to notice anyone breaking in, or in other words, she had already fainted.
Li Zijing stretched out his fingers to explore Luo Xiangyi's breath...
