The Qingyang Zhou family, a family of medicine and incense that has been inherited for more than a hundred years, has witnessed the decline of a kingdom, experienced turbulent melees, and also witnessed the rise of the Tianyu Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Zhou family started from the grandfather of the old lady Zhou, it was a doctor, and the whole family, regardless of men, women, old and young, would practice medicine to save people. What I am afraid of is the ups and downs of officialdom, I am deeply implicated, and finally the foundation of the Zhou family is broken.

The Tianyu Dynasty was established only for more than ten years, and it was preceded by more than ten years of power struggles and scuffles, and the big families that have been inherited to this day have also been drowned in that bloody history and turned into ashes, and the Zhou family can be preserved intact because of the old lady Zhou's amazing medical skills, the old lady Zhou has entered the palace three times to save people, because of this incident, even if the old emperor died of illness and the new emperor ascended the throne, it was also a good courtesy to him, and now the old lady Zhou is old, and he is even more generous, allowing him not to enter the hospital and return to Qingyang County to recuperate.

Mrs. Zhou's life can be said to be full of peach and plums all over the world, and her apprentices are all over the 54 counties and 13 states of the Tianyu Dynasty, all of whom uphold the grand wish of Mrs. Zhou, hang the pot to help the world, cure the disease and save people.

Mrs. Zhou has two sons and two daughters in his life, and the daughters have been married successively, the youngest son Zhou Mingyuan and his wife Xu stayed in Qingyang, and the eldest son Zhou Mingfeng's family is in Linfang.

Because of Mrs. Zhou's menacing illness this time, the same medicine has no effect at all, Zhou Mingyuan has been looking for a long time in the entire Qingyang County, but he has not made up all the medicinal materials for the pills, Zhou Mingyuan can't, so he has to notify the eldest brother who is far away in Linfang to ask for medicine.

Zhou Mingfeng is also searching around the surrounding towns, Yuan's Ganoderma lucidum also appeared in Zhou Mingfeng's eyes, in order to send the medicine back to Qingyang as soon as possible, the father and son have been traveling day and night for several days, sleeping in the open air, and young children like Zhou Huaiyan have gradually been unable to support it.

"Yan'er, hold on, and when you get to Qingyan County, you can have a good rest" Zhou Mingfeng sat on the violently shaking carriage, routinely checked Zhou Huaiyan's pulse, and looked at Zhou Huaiyan's pale complexion because of unbearable with that distressed eyes, but in order to reach Qingyang as soon as possible, Zhou Mingfeng did not let the coachman slow down.

Zhou Huaiyan's health was already very bad, the obvious bruises under his eyes, as well as the tired look, and the frowning brows, all of which called him how bad his rest was in the past few days, but Zhou Huaiyan knew his father's eagerness at this time, and did not complain, seeing his father's concern for him, he just held back the discomfort and comforted softly, "Father, my son is fine, I will go to Qingyang County in half a day, and then my son can have a good rest."

"Alas, it's just like this, it's hard for Yan'er" Zhou Mingfeng heard his son's forced smile, and felt even more guilty in his heart, and raised the cover on the side to look outside, it was all dust splashed by the carriage galloping, Zhou Mingfeng looked back and smiled at Zhou Huaiyan, "Yan'er, come to your father's arms to rest for half a day" After Zhou Mingfeng finished speaking, he first picked up the blanket on the side and covered himself, and then hugged him under Zhou Huaiyan's surprised gaze, Zhou Huaiyan's body was a little stiff and half leaned on Zhou Mingfeng's arms, not daring to move, Zhou Mingfeng reached out and patted Zhou Huaiyan's shoulder to signal him to relax, "Yan'er, it's okay, go to sleep" Zhou Mingfeng's words sounded in Zhou Huaiyan's ears, like a lullaby of his mother when he was a child, gradually, Zhou Huaiyan's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and the long-lost sleepiness swept Zhou Huaiyan's whole body, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and finally fell into a deep sleep......

Half a day later, at the gate of Qingyang County.

"Master, we're here" The groom's voice came in from the curtain, Zhou Mingfeng first raised his hand to look outside, and then put down the veil and woke up Zhou Huaiyan, who was still sleeping in his arms, "Yan'er, wake up, we have arrived in Qingyang County"

"Dad, shall we go into the city now?" Zhou Huaiyan was woken up, his eyes were not fully opened, although his head was still drowsy, but his good upbringing still allowed him to reply first.

"Well, Yan'er, get out of the car for your father first and wait for you for a while" Zhou Mingfeng nodded, then picked up the box on the side and walked out of the carriage.

Zhou Mingfeng looked up at the rusty city tower not far away, and his heart was full of feelings, the history of Qingyang County has been a long time ago, anyway, when Zhou Mingfeng was young, this city tower was like this, the ancient city tower revealed the taste of ancient and solemn, the city wall was blown by the wind and sun all the year round, and a thick layer of wall skin had fallen off, and the big Qingyang word on the city tower was hung in the center, like pedestrians coming and going to call for the heritage that belongs to Qingyang...

"Father" Zhou Huaiyan's clear young voice interrupted Zhou Mingfeng's contemplation, Zhou Mingfeng looked back, Zhou Huaiyan had already tidied up his clothes and was standing quietly aside.

"It's okay, let's go into the city" Zhou Mingfeng shook his head, and instructed the coachman to lead the carriage and follow the two into the city, Qingyang County is the center of the entire Qingyang County, and the gate is guarded by officials, not counting whether you are a high-ranking official or a rich country, when you come to the county town, you have to walk in on foot.

Zhou Mingfeng and the others first passed the inspection of the official messenger, and then waited for the coachman to come over in the city, and then got into the carriage again and rushed to the Dongfang Zhou family.

When the old lady Zhou returned home, she refused the house donated by the new emperor, and then took the descendants of the Zhou family to continue to live in the ancestral house of the Zhou family in the east of the city.

The ancestral house of the Zhou family is not big, and later it was expanded into a three-in and three-out yard by the old lady Zhou, the coachman drove the carriage to the gate of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingyuan was waiting for Zhou Mingfeng at the door at this time, since receiving Zhou Mingfeng's letter, Zhou Mingyuan stood at the door every day waiting for his eldest brother to come, not only because the old lady Zhou's illness was saved, but also because he missed his eldest brother.

Since Zhou Mingfeng fell out with Old Lady Zhou more than ten years ago. After taking Xu Shiyuan to Linfang, he never came back, it was the New Year's holiday, and he just asked someone to give gifts, the two brothers had been separated for many years, and now they were finally able to meet, how could they not make Zhou Mingyuan excited.

Seeing that the carriage engraved with "Zhou" slowly stopped in front of him, Zhou Mingyuan directly left the servant behind him, and bent down and waved his hand at Zhou Mingfeng, who had not yet gotten off the car, with excitement on his face, "Big brother, after many years, you are finally back"

Zhou Mingyuan's hand was helped up by a pair of rougher hands, Zhou Mingyuan looked at the eldest brother who was no longer young in front of him, and his eyes were slightly moist "Big brother"

"Okay" Zhou Mingfeng patted Zhou Huaiyuan's shoulder funny, "Isn't the eldest brother back now?"

"Daddy,... How is it now?" Zhou Mingfeng lowered his head and looked at his toes, and asked in a low voice.

"Although it is serious, it has not deteriorated" Zhou Mingyuan said honestly, and then looked at the eldest brother in front of him again and again, endured it, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, the matter of sister-in-law has been many years old, big brother, but you still blame your father?"

Zhou Mingfeng looked up at his younger brother with a nervous face, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not my father's fault, it's that the eldest brother was too impulsive back then, so that with Yan'er... No shame to come back."

"It's all over, big brother, dad was happier than when he heard about Yan'er back then, so many years have passed, big brother, dad really regrets it..."Zhou Mingyuan persuaded in a good voice, he really couldn't bear to see any more conflicts between his beloved eldest brother and his father.

“… Okay, don't talk about this" Zhou Mingfeng directly interrupted what Zhou Mingyuan was about to continue, "The second brother mentioned Jin'er before, why isn't Jin'er here?"

Hearing his son, Zhou Mingyuan naturally didn't have the same sad face as before, and said with a smile, "Jin'er has already graduated from school and is traveling in Xuzhou, but my father didn't let me inform Jin'er about the previous incident, so..."

"Now that Jin'er can be on her own, you and your younger siblings can also take care of Yu'er with more peace of mind," Zhou Mingfeng said with a smile about Zhou Mingyuan's youngest son, and then pointed to Zhou Huaiyan on the side and said, "This is Yan'er, Yan'er, this is your second uncle"

"Second Uncle" Zhou Huaiyan showed a polite smile and bent down slightly to shake his hands.

"You are Yan'er, now you are so old, you are worthy of being the son of the eldest brother, it is really the same as the eldest brother back then" Zhou Mingyuan looked at Zhou Huaiyan happily, there was still a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, through Zhou Huaiyan, he seemed to have returned to that carefree childhood, and the eldest brother who was dedicated to him.

"Come in, Dad's illness is important, although the medicine has been found, but it will take time to dispense the medicine" Although Zhou Mingfeng had a conflict with Mrs. Zhou because of Xu's affairs before, he was still worried about Mrs. Zhou's body.

"Yes, look at me, as soon as I see my eldest brother, I forget about business... Come in, and Yan'er, the room is ready" Zhou Mingyuan looked annoyed, and then led the father and son in.

Three in and three out, which means that there are three outer courtyard houses, the outermost is reserved for the little maid to live, the middle is the medicine boy's apprentice, and the innermost is also the residence of the Zhou family.

A few people entered the second outer courtyard, Zhou Mingfeng directly handed over the lingzhi in the box to Zhou Mingyuan, and asked him to quickly take it to dispense medicine, and then asked the little maid on the side to lead Zhou Huaiyan back to the room to rest, and then walked to the old lady Zhou's house with Zhou Mingyuan.

Xu was checking the pulse of Mrs. Zhou in the house, and when he raised his eyes and saw the eldest brother and husband on the side, he hurriedly ordered the little girl on the side to feed some mild tonics before turning around and walking out.

Xu's looks younger than Xu's, wearing a quiet cyan skirt, with a silver hairpin, and the simple collocation is even more out of Xu's dust, Xu's first glanced at Zhou Mingfeng in surprise, and then bent his knees and saluted Zhou Mingfeng "Big brother"

"Brother and sister don't need to be polite, how is the old man now?" Zhou Mingfeng waved his hand, then looked sideways at the old lady Zhou lying on the bed, and asked a little nervously.

"It's stabilized" Xu didn't say much, and after finishing speaking, he stood beside Zhou Mingyuan and didn't move.

"That's good, now when the pills are made, Dad will be fine" Zhou Mingfeng's hanging heart can be regarded as letting go.

"Big brother, after a long journey, go back to the room to rest, there is a little girl waiting here, and when my father wakes up, I will inform my eldest brother" Zhou Mingyuan looked at Zhou Mingfeng's dusty appearance, and was a little worried.

"It's okay, I'll go back to the room first, and I'll ask the second brother and younger siblings here" Zhou Mingfeng looked at himself writing a wrinkled dress, thinking that it was really time to change, he was busy with the road before, and he didn't have time to take care of tidying up his appearance.

"Big brother is polite" Xu bent his knees.

"Then I'll go back to the room with my eldest brother, you can take care of it more here" Zhou Mingyuan patted Xu's shoulder, Xu nodded, and then went out with Zhou Mingfeng.

What was prepared for Zhou Mingfeng's father and son was the east wing, Zhou Mingyuan had already asked the servants to clean it, and after the two brothers pushed the door in, Zhou Mingfeng turned his head to look at Zhou Mingyuan on the side and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Big brother, this is a thousand taels, don't shirk, my father's matter is my responsibility, now that the medicine is in hand, this money can't be owed" Zhou Mingyuan took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table on the side.

Zhou Mingfeng looked at the stack of silver tickets, shook his head and said, "No, I'm the eldest brother, not to mention that you still have to manage the big family of Qingyang County, take the money back."

"No" Zhou Mingyuan was unmoved, "This is what I discussed with Huan'er, if it weren't for my father's illness this time, my eldest brother wouldn't have come back because of this incident, it was me and Huan'er... Didn't take good care of Dad."

"You..." Zhou Mingfeng looked at his stubborn brother, and didn't know what to say, "That's it, I'll accept five hundred taels, let's go out together, what do you think?" The Zhou family has practiced medicine for generations, but most of them are for poor families, and there is not much of the consultation fee that can be recovered.

"Don't hesitate, or else... I don't need a penny" Zhou Mingfeng looked at Zhou Mingyuan's hesitant look, and directly took a dose of fierce information.

Sure enough, Zhou Mingyuan happily left five hundred taels, and then hurriedly said goodbye, for fear that if he took a step slower, his eldest brother would not want a penny.

Zhou Mingfeng looked at the closed door, shook his head funny, and ordered the little guy at the door to send water, and then he planned to go to the back of the screen to change clothes and take a bath.

In the evening, the Xu family sent someone to tell Zhou Mingfeng that Old Lady Zhou had woken up, and it happened that Zhou Mingfeng's clothes had not been taken off, and he went back to Old Lady Zhou's house directly with the little girl who passed the message.

Zhou Mingfeng's conversation with Old Lady Zhou Mingyuan didn't know, because Old Lady Zhou directly kicked them out, and the father and son talked until the second half of the night before Zhou Mingfeng left Old Lady Zhou's house.

The next day, Zhou Huaiyan, who had rested, was sent into Mrs. Zhou's house by Zhou Mingfeng, which was also the first meeting between the grandfather and grandson, as for what he said, Zhou Mingfeng didn't ask, but when he saw his son's happy expression, he knew that it should be related to medical skills. Old lady Zhou's medical skills can't catch up even with Zhou Mingfeng, and Zhou Huaiyan can naturally benefit a lot from the guidance of old lady Zhou...

However, the father and son did not stay for too long, and after Mrs. Zhou's condition stabilized, Zhou Mingfeng left Qingyang with Zhou Huaiyan, he was still pressed by Xu's affairs, naturally he was unwilling to delay his efforts, and the two did not return to Linfang in order to save time, but went directly to Yangjia Village, Black Mountain Town...
