Xiaozhu sat in the carriage, bumpy all the way, and his mood fluctuated greatly before, and he fell asleep unconsciously. Her body staggered with the amplitude of the carriage, and she felt that she was now having a wonderful dream, and although she knew it was a dream, she did not want to wake up.

In the dream, she is now sitting in a red sedan chair, and her body is the set of heads and faces that she has coveted for a long time. Although she was covered with a hijab, she could still see the groom riding a big horse in front of the sedan chair. The back of that person was handsome, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and she was a little anxious to see who it was.

Turning around again, as if hearing her heart, the scene changed from the sedan chair to the new room, she sat on the edge of the bed shyly, and saw a man standing in front of her through the hijab. She knew in her heart that this was the groom, and the hijab on her head was slowly lifted, and a finger lifted her chin. She looked at her beloved affectionately......

"Ahh Xiaozhu sat up straight with a sweat, she looked around with a sloppy look, and found that there was no dazzling bright red, and she was immediately relieved.

Wu snorted coldly, and Xiaozhu shuddered when he heard it. hurriedly said: "Mrs. save me, the eldest prince came to me to ask for his life!" Madame save me! ”

Wu Shi shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about! The eldest prince died of typhoid fever, what do you have to do with it! ”

Xiaozhu said suddenly: "Yes, he is typhoid fever...... He's a typhoid ......."

Wu slapped suddenly, and Xiaozhu exhaled in pain. fell to the side, and then Wu crushed Xiaozhu's hand with his foot, covered Xiaozhu's mouth with his hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Hear me clearly, the eldest prince had typhoid fever, was misdiagnosed by quacks, and then died." The quack is now locked up in a dungeon, and then he will be beheaded. Nothing to do with anyone else! Do you understand! ”

Xiaozhu whimpered and cried while twisting his body, and said vaguely: "Understood! Got it! Mrs. spare. ”

"Humph!" Wu snorted coldly, slowly raised his feet and stood up. At this time, Xiaozhu was already trembling, and his voice was low and hoarse.

The weather is clear, and the distant scene is slowly ushering in. Although the complete city wall is not too majestic, it also makes people know at first sight that this is a place with history.

"Wuzhou." Xie Xiang raised his head and muttered out the three big characters on the wall.

Chen Gang smiled and said, "Scholar, Wuzhou is a good place, I can't say you have to take a good look." ”

Xie Xiang smiled brightly, and his eyebrows were chic: "That's natural, since you say so, you must have something extraordinary." ”

The carriage slowed down slowly after speeding all the way to the gate of the city wall, and I saw a few queues waiting to enter the city in front of the city gate. At the forefront, several officers and soldiers were shouting and searching their bodies, and there were not a few people who were more fierce in appearance who were pulled out of the ranks, and compared them one by one according to the several portraits in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

Xie Xiang was a little surprised, he had never seen such a battle, could it be that something big had happened in this town. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, just as the carriage stopped at the end of the procession.

Chen Gang suddenly sighed, Xie Xiang turned his eyes and found that his brows were tightly locked, and there was some inexplicable sadness in his eyes. Reflecting his rugged face, it showed a different kind of compassion.

"Life and death are life, and wealth is in the sky. Who would have predicted the final result. Chen Gang seemed to be talking to Xie Xiang, and he seemed to be talking to himself, with a subtle sadness on his face.

Slightly stunned, Xie Xiang was a little inexplicable. But before he came back to his senses, Chen Gang arched his hand at him and said, "Xie Shusheng, I can only take you here, my family's old man's mansion has big rules, I have to go back and settle the carriage, I can't receive you today." ”

"It's not easy to take a ride anywhere, so how can we talk about anything else. Thank you, Brother and Mrs. Chen. Xie Xiang replied loudly towards the carriage.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response from the carriage. Xie Xiang was not annoyed, he waved at Chen Gang again, and then jumped out of the carriage in a dashing manner. Carrying a package on his back, he walked towards the other people who were waiting to enter the city.

Chen Gang looked at the scholar who was walking away, then turned his head to look at the carriage, sighed slightly, and walked straight forward with the carriage.

It's 10 a.m., but the days are always longer in May and June, so it's already a long time coming. Most of the people waiting to enter the city now are people from villages a little farther away, who come in and sell what they grow in their own fields that they can't eat. Although there are no big mountains around the Wujiang River, it is also an endless hill, and it is almost this time to get up in the fourth watch, climb the mountain road, and rush to the town. But the countrymen are not expensive, and these journeys are not tiring to go there. The harvest season comes once a month, and it can be regarded as seeing the world. Therefore, I also have patience for queuing up to enter the city, which is time-consuming and deducted by officers and soldiers.

Xie Xiang looked around, and there was a railing and a trail on the left, which was a carriage road. Obviously, the speed of the inspection was much faster, and in a short time, the carriage carrying him disappeared at the city gate.

And his team entering the city was much more difficult, and from time to time there were several sharp reprimands from officers and soldiers in front. And in front of him are a pair of grandchildren, these two are dressed very plainly, not even plainly, they can be said to be tattered. The clothes were sewn and mended layer by layer, and after a cursory look, Xie Xiang found four patches of different colors on the old man's body. Although the clothes of the children around the old man are also very simple, they are obviously much better than them.

Despite this, the pair of grandparents are very neat. It's just that there are some trees and grass on the cuffs of the trousers, and some marks left by the dew.

Looking at the back basket behind them, Xie Xiang was interested, and through the gaps in the woven bamboo basket, he took a cursory look, and he found a few good quality Poria cocos inside. It is said that Xiucai studies medicine and catches chickens in cages. Xie Xiang is a talent who can be regarded as worthy of his name. When he was a child, he often messed around in Luo Jiazhong, but he was jokingly instructed by his grandfather to give him a shallow medical skill. However, although the person who instructs is not careful, he has a strong interest in traditional Chinese medicine, coupled with a mature mind, so over the years, although he can not cure diseases and save people, some simple pharmacological herbs can also be distinguished.

At this time, he saw that there were poria cocos in the back basket, although it was not processed, but the quality was good. I can't help but itch in my heart to see if there are other medicinal materials, the south is mountainous, and there are many medicinal materials in the mountains, and in this era, it is still relatively easy to produce some more precious medicinal materials.

There are many people in the mountains, with little land and little land, and occasionally rely on the medicinal herbs or game in the mountains to subsidize their families. Wild game is just a small animal, and you have to risk being bitten back. Therefore, those medicinal herbs that grow honestly and regularly have become the best source of income. If you are lucky enough to find an old ginseng, it will be worth the income of your family for a few years of farming.

Little Ai Ye is an orphan, and Ai Ye's grandfather is not his own, but he is better than his own. Since Grandpa Li picked up the little mugwort leaves in the wormwood bushes, the two of them have been dependent on each other for seven or eight years. Over the years, relying on the two acres of thin fields in the mountain depression, the medicinal herbs picked from the mountains on weekdays, although the days are a little poorer, but they have also come over with taste.

Ai Ye wiped the fine sweat from the sun on his head and pursed his dry lips. Sensibly took out the kettle he was carrying, held it up, and handed it to his grandfather's mouth. With wide eyes, he said, "Grandpa, drink water." ”

Grandpa Li smiled and squinted, bent over the kettle, and wet his lips slightly. Then he said, "Good doll, come, you drink too." ”

Ai Ye saw that his grandfather drank water, opened his mouth and smiled and took a sip, and then carefully hung the kettle to his waist again, and Grandpa Li kindly touched his grandson's head.

Xie Xiang looked at it clearly in the back, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The grandfather obviously had cracked lips, but he tried his best to save a sip of water for his grandson, and in order to comfort his grandson, he made a drinking appearance, so that he really pity the love and pity of the elders in the world, and had to sigh with a sincere meaning.

Seeing this, Xie Xiang's heart moved slightly. He took a step forward from the right, walked to the grandson's side, and waved his hand to the old man, saying, "Hello old man." ”

Grandpa Li was looking at his grandson, but suddenly a person appeared from behind him, which startled him. However, after calming down a little, I saw that it was a handsome scholar, and I was a little surprised.

Taking a little back, Grandpa Li silently looked at the scholar in front of him, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." I wonder what happened to this scholar? ”

Xie Xiang smiled slightly: "I have been fond of medicinal materials since I was a child, and I saw that the quality of Poria cocos in the old man's frame was very good, so I simply waited until we passed the city gate for a while, so I want to see your other excellent medicinal materials." ”

After listening to Xie Xiang's words, he made Grandpa Li blush. He waved his hand again and again: "Whatever there is, what kind of good medicinal materials are things that can't be put on the table." If it weren't for the kindness of Dr. Wang of Huairentang, who handed over some simple methods to Xiao Lao'er, I was afraid that the medicinal materials would be destroyed. ”

Ai Ye heard his grandfather say about Doctor Wang, and quickly answered: "That's it, Doctor Wang is okay." ”

Grandpa Li glared at Ai Ye: "The kid interjected." ”

Ai Ye stuck out her tongue, and she could see that her grandfather was pretending to be strict, so she wasn't too afraid.

Xie Xiang looked at the pair of grandchildren with a smile, and said: "What's the matter, why should the old man be strict, it also makes Sun innocent and cute, and he is straightforward." ”

After hearing this, Ai Ye hid behind Grandpa Li a little shyly, but it caused the surrounding people who were originally attracted by the conversation, and looked at the villagers who knew the pair of grandchildren and grandchildren and laughed.

One of them shouted: "The more this Ai Ye grows, the more she looks like a little girl!" ”

Boom, good-natured laughter rang out all around. Ai Ye's face turned red, and she was so ashamed that she felt like she was about to cry.

Xie Xiang frowned, and gently stroked his shoulder with his hand: "If a man has tears, he doesn't flick, why are you crying." After speaking, with his peach blossom eyes, he gently winked at Ai Ye who leaned out from behind Grandpa Li.
