Standing outside the carriage, you can faintly hear whispers coming from inside. The men are low and deep, and the women are like wind chimes under the March corridor, clear and pleasant. Cardamom and Qingdai couldn't help but smile at each other, they didn't dare to eavesdrop on their approach, so they tiptoed away.

After a while, I finally saw the curtain of the carriage lifted, and Guo Chengsi strode out. He got out of the carriage, and Rong Xi, who had been hiding in the shadows, Duan Ling immediately led the horse to greet him. He neatly turned on his horse and drove away with his men.

Qingdai, Cardamom and Fu Bo gathered around at this time, and heard Zhong Ziyuan's slightly tired voice coming from inside: "Let's go too!" ”

"Yes." Qingdai, cardamom was busy in the car. Fu Bo raised his horsewhip high on the side, and with a "snap" sound, the green horse raised his head and neighed, and led the four of them on the road home.

When Qingdai and Cardamom entered the carriage, they saw Zhong Ziyuan sitting on the couch, wearing a purple robe that did not belong to her, and rubbing her forehead tiredly. This night's tossing made her feel exhausted when she was recovering from a serious illness. has been sick for so long, but in the end her body is still empty.

When Qingdai and Cardamom saw her like this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and suddenly laughed with a "poof". Zhong Ziyuan looked up at them in confusion. Qing Dai couldn't help laughing, took out a small mercury mirror from the collapsed cabinet, handed it to Zhong Ziyuan, and said, "Childe, you better see it yourself!" ”

This mercury mirror is also a gift from Zhu Fei, it is said that it is a commodity brought by the Hu people from overseas, and the price is extremely expensive, but it is thousands of times clearer than the bronze mirror she originally used. In Zhong Ziyuan's view, this process is not much different from the mirrors of later generations.

Zhong Ziyuan took the mercury mirror and took it up. A pretty face with flushed cheeks and misty eyes like water appeared in the mirror. Her heart jumped, and she blinked her eyes a few times to remove the watery meaning. Then he looked left and right with a weak heart. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it that deserved their jokes.

Qing Dai pursed her lips and smiled as she pointed to her bun. Zhong Ziyuan moved the mercury mirror up, only to find that Guo Chengsi actually combed himself with a woman's cloud bun, and there was a quaint wooden hairpin inserted in the side of the bun.

Zhong Ziyuan pursed his lips and secretly slandered: This guy, knowing that he is Jia Ming now, wearing a man's robe, but he wants to comb himself into a woman's bun. I really don't know what it means.

Seeing Zhong Ziyuan's ghostly expression, Qing Dai smiled: "At a glance, I know that it is Guo Shizi's craft, and he likes to comb this bun for his son the most." said that it looked beautiful and gentle, and Chu Chu was moving. ”

Clear and gentle, Chu Chu moving? Zhong Ziyuan never knew what these words had to do with him. Her face couldn't help but be hot, and she pouted to hide it: "Don't talk nonsense." Hurry up and dismantle it. If outsiders see it, what kind of system will it become? ”

"Yes," Qingdai obediently agreed.

Qing Dai smiled and took off the wooden hairpin on Zhong Ziyuan's head, and said strangely: "This Guo Shizi is really strange, the hairpin that people send is either gold or jade, no matter how bad it is, at least it should be a pearl, he is good, he actually sent a piece of wood." She shook her head puzzled, and handed the hairpin to Zhong Ziyuan's hand.

Zhong Ziyuan subconsciously rubbed the hairpin in his hand. This hairpin is dark red throughout, and the wood grain is clear and faintly fragrant. The carving skills of the hairpin itself are not very superb. Even slightly rough. It's just that it's obviously been carefully polished and looks very rounded.

And its flower shape is also very simple, the fine buds are sparse and the slender petals are set off by a few green leaves, entrenched in the hairpin head and blooming wantonly. It was actually an aster flower, Zhong Ziyuan recognized it at first sight.

Aster, also known as night petunias, is a very inconspicuous wildflower. Its stems and leaves are very coarse, and if you touch it with your hands and feet, it will feel itchy, so it is not very popular in this Chang'an City. Only in the wilderness on the outskirts will they bloom in patches. However, this humble aster flower is also a good medicine, which has the effect of moisturizing the lungs, dissolving phlegm, and relieving cough.

On the day Zhong Ziyuan was born, Zhong Jinchuan happened to pick a basket of aster flowers and returned, so he gave his newborn daughter this name.

Looking at this wooden hairpin with his name embedded in it, Zhong Ziyuan's heart jumped suddenly, could it be that he carved it himself? He took his own jade comb, and sent a hand-carved wooden hairpin like an overlord, and he couldn't refuse to see the posture. Could it be that this is the legendary token of love?

Zhong Ziyuan felt that the wooden hairpin in her hand was like a fire, burning from her fingertips to her heart. It's a pity that she has no experience in getting along with men in her two lifetimes, and at this moment she feels flustered and moved in her heart mixed with a hint of sweetness, this complex feeling makes her very strange.

At this moment, Cardamom let out a "huh", she sniffled and said, "Childe, this wooden hairpin faintly reveals the fragrance of peach blossoms, could it be carved from peach wood?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan came back to his senses, stood on the end of his nose and sniffed the wooden hairpin, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. She nodded and said, "When you say that, it seems like that's the case." ”

Cardamom sighed: "It is said that peach wood has the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, when Guo Shizi chose this peach hairpin, he must not have expected that the son would heal so quickly." His heart is much more valuable than giving those golden hairpins and hostas. Zhong Ziyuan said "hmm" without words, and after half a sound, she finally blushed and quietly put the peach hairpin into her sleeve pocket.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhong Ziyuan got up early. After Qingdai waited for her to wash, she slowly walked out of the house. At this moment, the sky is still blue, and the sun that has just risen in the east dyes half of the sky red with a bright morning glow. The beautiful sky, with the lush trees and swaying flowers in the yard, is also quite pleasing to the eye.

There were no outsiders left and right, Zhong Ziyuan simply rolled up the hem of his robe and jogged around the small garden. She knows that her body is losing a lot now, and relying on tonic alone will not help, and she needs to exercise more.

One lap, two laps and three laps, although this small garden is not big, but after a few laps, it also made Zhong Ziyuan sweat and his legs and feet weak. But she still gritted her teeth and insisted on running for two pillars of incense before she stopped.

Qing Dai saw that Zhong Ziyuan was running, and she immediately boiled the bath water obediently. Wait for Zhong Ziyuan to finish running. When I soaked myself in the warm bath water, I almost sighed.

She lay on the edge of the tub, letting the steaming heat permeate her body. She suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see cardamom all morning?" ”

Qing Dai said with a smile: "Childe only cares about exercising, but he doesn't know that the outer courtyard is already in full swing. Xiucai lady, the husband and wife of the banker, and those girls have already come to work, and Cardamom is naturally going to supervise the work. ”

Zhong Ziyuan said curiously: "Is Brother Zhuang also working with us?" ”

Qing Dai took a wooden spoon and scooped a scoop of hot water on Zhong Ziyuan's smooth shoulder, and then said: "I don't know the specifics, I just heard Cardamom say that Brother Zhuang has been acquitted since he was released." Sister-in-law Zhuang was afraid that Zhang Fushi would find him trouble again, so she didn't allow Brother Zhuang to do the old business of walking the streets and alleys again. Fortunately, our family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are some manual jobs that girls are not capable of. Always ask him to help. After coming and going, Brother Zhuang simply did things for our family with peace of mind. ”

When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, she nodded and said, "I originally thought it was bad to be all girls. Those herbs are also quite heavy. There is a lot of work to carry and lift, where do they do this. Since Brother Zhuang is willing to help, it would be great. It's better to be a person who knows the roots than to find those idlers outside. ”

Qing Dai took a handkerchief and dipped it in the pancreas, and while helping her wipe her back, she smiled and said, "Isn't it!" Cardamom and I thought the same thing at the time, so we left him behind. ”

Zhong Ziyuan closed her eyes slightly, enjoying Qingdai's meticulous care. Smoked by this heat wave, I almost fell asleep. She said vaguely: "It's been hard for the two of you these days. But last night Guo Shizi agreed to me. said that he would help me find Aunt Zhu, Sister-in-law Liu's family, and Fang'er all back. You won't be so hard and lonely by then."

When Zhong Ziyuan appeared in front of everyone in full bloom after bathing, it immediately caused a small sensation. The timid little girls who did things blushed with shame and blushed their heads so much that they couldn't even lift their heads. There are also those bold, with a pair of black eyes secretly glancing at her, and from time to time they turn their heads and cover their mouths and chuckle.

The talented lady and a few little girls were stepping on the crushed medicinal materials back and forth on the medicine mill, and when she saw Zhong Ziyuan, she just pursed her lips and smiled, and then bowed her head slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Sister-in-law Zhuang circled around her and said, "Doctor Jia, where have you been touring the mountains and rivers for more than a month?" But I'm tired, look at this face, it's a whole thin, and the clothes are empty on my body. ”

Zhong Ziyuan had long known that the news of his illness was suppressed by Guo Chengsi immediately and did not publicize it. This is also because the sales channel of Peach Blossom Beauty Pills has just been opened at that time, and there is no other person in the family who can be in charge to suppress the scene. If the news suddenly came out that he was delirious because of his illness, it would be a fatal blow to the Peach Blossom Beauty Pill. Regarding this point, Zhong Ziyuan is especially grateful to Guo Chengsi for his decision at that time.

Faced with Sister-in-law Zhuang's concern, she had to clench her fists and say, "I left in a hurry, and I didn't say hello to you, please forgive me." ”

Sister-in-law Zhuang has a refreshing temperament, her dark eyes smile like a crescent moon, and she said briskly: "We don't have anything, it's just that you left suddenly, but you are tired of your cardamom." But this cardamom is extremely capable, and the more than one month you have been away from home has relied on her to do a good business. ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled gently: "Cardamom and Qingdai are my right-hand men, and they are indispensable." In fact, they have long been no different from my relatives to me. ”

When Sister-in-law Zhuang heard this, she was secretly surprised in her heart. She also spent time in the homes of wealthy people when she was young, and she was quite knowledgeable. She knew that there were also a few benevolent and generous lords who treated their subordinates very well. But no matter how good it is, the subordinate is the subordinate after all, and the dignity of the identity is there, which cannot be surpassed. Like Zhong Ziyuan, who regards her subordinates as relatives, she has never seen them.

Sister-in-law Zhuang sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Qingdai, Cardamom, these two children have a good fate." Suddenly, she smiled again: "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet!" This time, my family's mouth can get away with it, and it all depends on you running up and down. Thank you. Sister-in-law Zhuang spoke, and solemnly bowed to Zhong Ziyuan.

Zhong Ziyuan did not postpone it, but stood straight and accepted it calmly. She knew that if she refused to accept even a gift, the two of them would become more and more uneasy.

After receiving her gift, the matter was revealed. Only then did Zhong Ziyuan raise her voice with a smile and say to everyone: "By the way, I have something to announce. This time, I went out temporarily to find a new recipe. Although he left in a hurry, he also gained a lot.

This recipe was originally collected in the Lingshan Treasure Temple, but I unintentionally found it. It has the inexhaustible effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, replenishing qi and blood, filling the essence, etc., and is the best tonic for men.

If our Peach Blossom Beauty Pill is specifically for women, then this recipe is for men. I'm tentatively calling it the Pill of Relief. I believe that it will not be long before it will be as famous as the Peach Blossom Beauty Pill. You may be busier then, but you can be sure that your income will increase exponentially. ”

The girls may not have understood the other words, but the last sentence 'the income will increase exponentially in the future', they can all listen to it very clearly. Then there was an earth-shattering cheer in the wing.

In the past month or so, because they worked in the Zhong family, and the Zhong family's wages were never in arrears, these girls have saved a lot, and almost all of them have become the main source of income for the family. Although these families have not made a big improvement for the time being, they have at least guaranteed food and clothing. In this regard, these girls are all grateful to the Zhong family, as well as the talented ladies who gathered them to work, and Sister-in-law Zhuang is grateful.

Unexpectedly, the first thing that Dr. Jia, who hadn't shown up for a long time, announced after coming back was such great news, how could they not feel their blood boiling, and they were full of energy.

Of course, this recipe was definitely not found by Zhong Ziyuan from any Lingshan Treasure Temple, she just said this to create momentum for this anxiety relief pill. This recipe is actually very common in modern times, and the process is also very mature, which does solve the troubles of many men.

After Zhong Ziyuan made the Peach Blossom Beauty Pill, he thought about making this anxiety relief pill. This world is originally made up of men and women, and now that women make a lot of money, the next step is naturally to start making men's money.

After the cheers, a bold girl asked curiously, "Doctor Jia, why did you name it the Relief Pill?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan said with a smile: "Think about it, if a man has a sore waist and knees, dizziness, night sweats, thirst, can't sleep all night because of a lot of nocturnal urination, and he will be short of breath and his heels will hurt when he takes a few more steps, can he not feel depressed?" Our medicine is specifically for these symptoms, so I call it the Anti-Anxiety Pill."

Sister-in-law Zhuang laughed and said: "It's not just melancholy, if I have these problems, I'm afraid that I will have the heart to die." The name of the Relief Pill is good, and it sounds both apt and smooth. ”

"Yes." Zhong Ziyuan's eyes were shining, and she said loudly: "Although these problems are not fatal, they are also a kind of bits and pieces of torture. No matter who has these problems, most of them will find life extremely difficult. But as long as we take our anxiety relief pill, these problems will be solved and will no longer be a problem. So I'm very optimistic about the prospect of this elixir, it will be another cornucopia for us. (To be continued......)
