After Min Fangqi returned to Guangji Hall, Xiao Ming resumed the habit of going to the medical clinic every three days for consultation. Although she did not go to the medical clinic, she left her two apprentices Yunling and Jiang Xiangyuan at Guangji Hall. , the two women disguised themselves as men and hung out in the medical clinic. It was called running errands and doing odd jobs, but it was better to say that they were learning skills from their teachers and gaining experience and knowledge.
When Xiao Ming is at home, she is either hiding in the space to make medicine, or going to the school to check the construction progress, or taking care of the medicine garden and replanting the collected herbs under the fruit trees. Of course, taking care of the medicine garden to plant herbs is indispensable. Go up the mountain to collect herbs.
Of course, it was Shi Tingyu who took her up the mountain to collect herbs. If she had gone up alone, she would have been persuaded by Mrs. Song and Mother Yi to come back before she even left the house. One of the two shed tears first without saying a word. This makes a lot of sense. Dui, the other is blocking the way forward without saying anything. Even if she has the ability to go to heaven, she can't get past the two squatting Buddhas in front of her. It will be different if Shi Tingyu is with her. Who can say that the value of force is high? !
"Be careful!" Xiao Ming and Maomao stood on the ground and looked up at the sky. About ten meters above the ground, Shi Tingyu was climbing the rock with bare hands, picking the double-leaf golden orchid.
Shi Tingyu uprooted the herbs before returning to the ground.
"Brother Shi, is it okay for you?" Xiao Ming asked concernedly. Seeing that Shi Tingyu had landed safely, her heart fell and she handed a handkerchief up.
"It's okay, here you go." Shi Tingyu shook his head and handed over the herbs in his hand, then stretched out his other hand to take the handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. All these actions were done so naturally. There is no sense of violation and.
"Thank you." Xiao Ming thanked him.
Shi Tingyu straightened his clothes, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, and then said: "Let's go, let's go inside and have a look." After that, he led the way forward. It had to be said that after the wolf attack on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Daqing Mountain Nine out of ten wolves were wiped out, and the first wolf was also killed by Shi Tingyu. The remaining few wolves shrank to unknown places. Therefore, Xiao Ming and Shi Tingyu went to the mountain several times to collect herbs, and Xiao Han and Mu Xiu encountered no danger when they went hunting in the mountains. Every time they went up to the mountains, Shi Tingyu would not only hunt, but also help Xiao Ming collect some medicinal materials that were difficult for her to collect.

In Ping'an Town, a simple carriage drove up the street in the distance. The driver swung his whip to avoid pedestrians, walked slowly, and finally stopped in front of a house.
"Master, we're here." The groom jumped down, put the step stool in place, and then said to the people in the carriage.
A hand stretched out from the carriage, and a man stuck his head out. The man had a thin face, rich clothes and plain satin, and an extraordinary demeanor. His demeanor had the air of a scribe, which made it difficult to tell how old he was. He had not felt it after traveling a long distance. Although he was tired, his eyes were bright, and his words revealed majesty, thinking he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
"Are you sure this is here?"
The man looked at the cold door in front of him. There was not even a gatekeeper. The stone lion squatting under the corridor was a bit old and stood lonely. It was quite cold and desolate. This was the place of refuge where Wu Tong once served as an official to the Imperial Academy.
I think of the time when Wu Tong and Wu Xiwen were young talents. They became famous at a young age. They were appointed second in the rankings by the Holy Spirit. What a glory they were. Later, they served as the minister of wine in the Imperial College. They taught and educated people all their lives and had countless students. However, he was an upright man and resigned in anger because he was dissatisfied with Liu's tyrannical government and the public. , I didn’t expect that a generation of wise officials would end up here.
The man didn't believe it, but he looked at the word "Wu Mansion" written on the plaque. Each stroke was vigorous and flowing, and he said without waiting for the groom's answer: "Yes, this is Brother Xiwen's house. Only he can write it." Such a good word."
Today's court is in turmoil. The Dingguo Houfu family was framed by the Liu family because of the eldest prince's affairs. The prince of Dingguo welcomed back the eldest prince who was living among the people. This should have been a great achievement, but it can't be The eldest prince who was found by chance was a fool. How could a fool exist in the royal family? This gave Liu Ce the opportunity to join forces with the imperial censor and the ministers of the court to participate in a book about the prince of Dingguo. Because of this, the prince Not only did he have no merit, but he was guilty. He was reprimanded by the emperor and dismissed from his post. The northwest military power was also transferred to the Ministry of War.
As a result, the strength of Dingguo Houfu was greatly damaged, the eldest prince was stupid, and the second princes headed by Liu Ce were so powerful that they dominated the court. Thinking of these, he felt his scalp was numb and couldn't live in peace. Now he is struggling in the court. , It is difficult to support a tree alone. With the Liu family's current status, if the second prince is awarded the title of Dabao, then the imperial family will be in power in the future, and the world will be unrest.
He would never allow his relatives to have exclusive power, which was a taboo in the country. He had come all the way, hoping to invite Brother Xiwen to come out and fight with him against the Liu family's autocratic power.
"Brother Xiwen, now that Dingguo Houfu has declined, Liu Ce Chaogang dominates the government and controls the government. I hope that senior brother can re-enter the court as an official." Chen Yuan first chatted at the Wu Mansion and then explained the purpose of his trip. Speaking out, he bowed affectionately and sincerely, hoping that Wu Tong could re-enter the official position. Now he is the only one who can compete with Liu Ce, who has many disciples.
Wu Tong was silent and the officialdom was dark. He had already taken it for granted. During these days in Ping'an Town, he lived an ordinary life, like a man who left his family behind in the countryside, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, teaching his disciples and solving their doubts.
In these ordinary days, there were no intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom. He felt a rare peace in his heart. Looking back on the previous thirty years, when he was eighteen years old, he took the imperial examination and was selected second by the Holy Emperor. How high-spirited he was at that time. Inspiring words and guiding people, hoping to make contributions to the country and make great achievements.
It's a pity that time is like a butcher's knife. Who has been responsible for the ups and downs of the master over the years, and who has given him a wake-up call. After thirty years of ups and downs in officialdom, the Liu family has been monopolizing power and exerting power in the government and the public. He has a deep sense of powerlessness. He could neither fight against the Liu family nor resist, and even the proud disciples he cultivated with all his heart switched to other people's disciples.
Frustrated, he angrily resigned and went into seclusion, leaving the wrong place in the capital with his own anger.
Are you re-entering the official career now? The Marquis of Dingguo was avoiding his edge, so how could he resist.
Wu Tong shook his head. The eldest prince is stupid and should not inherit the throne. The second prince has a greater chance of being established as the crown prince. Then Liu Ce's power will be at its peak and out of control. The only feasible way now is to wait until the new crown prince. The prince is born.
Wu Tong thought clearly and rejected Chen Yuan's proposal to become an official. Instead, under the current situation, he suggested that he save up and wait for the opportunity. The two chatted in the study, and Chen Yuan left as the sun set.
Although the goal was not achieved, it was not in vain. After Wu Tong opened the solution, Chen Yuan's mood changed. He was confused by the authorities. He was blinded by the clouds and mist in front of him, and he was confused. Now that Wu Tong has enlightened me, I have thought everything through.
Under the setting sun, Wu Tong and Chen Yuan walked out of the study. Standing at the door were three teenagers, Xiao Han, Xiao Yu and Chen Yuanze. Now that school time has come, they came to say goodbye to their husband.
"This is your new student, um, very good." Chen Yuan looked over one by one and praised him, but when he saw the last boy, he exclaimed:
"Yuanze."
"Father!" Chen Yuanze shouted in surprise. The joyful expression he had when chatting with Xiao Han just a moment ago was fixed on his face. He was at a loss. When he suddenly saw his father, he was probably more frightened than surprised!
