Chapter 17: Extraneous Sounds
When I heard the reputation, I saw Zhu Zhilian holding his hands behind his back at this time, looking at Wen Ziqi with a shallow smile.
Wen Ziqi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hall Master"
Zhu Zhilian waved his hand, walked to the chair and sat down. Wen Ziqi hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea and water, and stood beside him.
Zhu Zhilian picked up the teacup on the table and took a shallow sip and said: "There are really a lot of trivial things in recent days, and I haven't urged you two much, I originally thought that you might take the opportunity to be lazy, but I didn't expect that you are not only familiar with pharmacology, but also quite proficient in pathology, so I am relieved." ”
Wen Ziqi hurriedly saluted and replied: "Before I bowed to my majesty, I had been following my uncle to practice medicine all the time, so I occasionally knew one or two cases, and this matter was also a coincidence. I don't know if the hall master heard it all just now? Is there anything wrong with that Ziqi's medication? ”
Zhu Zhilian thought for a while and then chuckled and said: "When that person just came in, I came back, and when I saw that you were interested in inquiring about your condition, I stopped outside the door, and I wanted to see how you handled such things, and I just took this opportunity to see if you have been lazy recently, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain." You're really good, kid. I didn't see anything wrong, just a reminder that the man didn't pay the bill! ”
Wen Ziqi listened to Zhu Zhilian's evaluation of himself, but he was extremely panicked in his heart, fortunately, he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said just now, if he just said a topic that was unfavorable to Zhu Zhilian, then his attitude towards himself at this time should not be like this. His face showed the joy of being praised, and he said: "Looking at what he is wearing, he shouldn't be a cheater, he said that he will send it tomorrow, and he shouldn't be dishonest for this bit of silver!" ”
Zhu Zhilian looked at Wen Ziqi and said with a slight smile, "Don't be too complacent, there is news that there are several people who will participate in the competition next year who are very strong and should not be underestimated." ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and responded: "Thank you for the cultivation of the hall master, Ziqi understands that he will definitely live up to the prestige of the hall master." ”
Zhu Zhilian twisted his beard and looked at Wen Ziqi thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Ziqi, are you interested in pharmaceuticals?" ”
Wen Ziqi thought for a while and replied: "When I followed my uncle, I also made pills, but it was just a rural place, rough and abnormal, and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance, so I don't know what the hall master needs Ziqi to do?" ”
Zhu Zhilian heard Wen Ziqi say that he had developed pills with his uncle before, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and ordered: "Tomorrow, you and Ling Haoran will go to the pharmacy after noon to find Hall Master Yao, as for what needs to be done, Hall Master Yao will arrange for you at that time, you can just listen to his arrangement." "Say, let out a long yawn.
Wen Ziqi saw that Zhu Zhilian was already tired and said with concern: "The hall master is so tired, go back and rest earlier, so as not to be tired and ruined, and go to Steward Feng's house tomorrow morning to pay his respects." ”
As soon as Zhu Zhilian heard this, a trace of gloom and viciousness instantly leaked from Steward Feng's face, and he said fiercely: "If it weren't for him, how could I have worked so hard, if it weren't for the fact that I had already known Master Cao, this time we would all be dragged down by this Steward Feng, he was good, he committed suicide for a woman's martyrdom, this kind of behavior is really a woman." With that, he got up and walked to the back hall.
Wen Ziqi said goodbye to Zhu Zhilian's back, but sighed secretly, and as soon as he turned around, he saw someone by the door looking inside.
Wen Ziqi hurriedly said, "Let's go, come in." ”
Yan Shisan tiptoed in, for fear that the noise would be too loud and noisy to Zhu Zhilian, who had just left, put the oiled paper bag he was carrying on the table and hurriedly asked, "I haven't sent anything during the time I walked away, right?" ”
Wen Ziqi said while unpacking the paper bag: "It's nothing, it's just that a person came to grab the medicine as soon as you left." As soon as the person who grabbed the medicine left with his front foot, the hall master came in with his back foot. And then you know, when did you come back? Why don't you come in? Seeing that the paper bag was originally wrapped in a roast chicken, he reached out and pulled a chicken leg and ate it.
Yan Shisan also sat at the table, stretched out his hand and tore a chicken leg and gnawed it, chewing the chicken leg in his mouth and muttering: "As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the hall master say that Steward Feng committed suicide for martyrdom, women and the like. At that time, I must have been annoyed when I heard this, and I didn't dare to come in, and if the hall master saw that I had gone to buy food and wine without permission, I would probably be scolded, so I hid behind the door. ”
Wen Ziqi watched Yan Shisan say such things with his honest face, and immediately felt funny. He shook his head and continued to nibble on the chicken leg in his hand. At this time, Yan Shisan had already smashed the mud seal of the wine jar in his hand, found two empty teacups, poured the wine and handed it to Wen Ziqi with a cup, and drank the other cup by himself.
Wen Ziqi stretched out his hand to take the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all. The spicy sensation burns from the throat to the stomach. It was so choked that it was tears.
Yan Shisan saw Wen Ziqi's embarrassed appearance and asked: "It seems that Brother Wen rarely drinks alcohol, this wine is not strong, just choking like this, so what if you burn the knife!" Say it and reach out again to fill Wen Ziqi's cup. Then he said: "The first glass is spicy and pungent, but the second glass has a different flavor, let's try it again!" ”
Wen Ziqi looked at the wine glass in his hand and then at Yan Shisan, and said, "Brother Yan, if you have anything to say, just ask directly, I should know everything, forget about this wine." Little brother, I'm really not good at this. ”
Yan Shisan Haha hurriedly said: "What Brother Wen said makes me embarrassed. My Lao Yan doesn't read much, and I don't know what love is, do you say that this Feng Steward really committed suicide because Yang Liu's refusal to be martyred? Say, take another bite of meat, and stare at Wen Ziqi tightly.
Wen Ziqi thought quickly in his head, this Yan Shisan asked this question, did he ask for himself? Or is there someone else trying to verify something through his mouth? How to answer this question is indeed difficult for Wen Ziqi to decide. After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "Although I have read for a few days, I am still young, and I know very little about this kind of love between men and women. But there are many words in the book to describe this kind of feeling, such as what is white-headed to the old Luan, Feng and Ming, and so on. But I've only seen it in books, and I really haven't seen it in reality. Maybe it's because I'm too shallow in the world and know too few people. ”
Yan Shisan nodded thoughtfully and said, "According to what you say, Little Brother Wen, then Steward Feng is not trapped by love, and he committed suicide by martyrdom!" Could it be that someone framed Steward Feng, and the suicide was intentional? ”
Wen Ziqi hurriedly shook his head and said like a rattle: "Brother Yan, don't talk nonsense, I don't mean that, I mean that I have too little knowledge, and I have never seen such things before." When my uncle taught me herbs, he mentioned the legend of a medicine in which a man sacrificed his life for a woman. At that time, I didn't believe it, saying that this legend must be apocryphal, and that in reality, how could a man sacrifice his life for a woman. Yesterday's events have completely changed my feelings about things! ”
Yan Shisan asked with interest: "The legend is fantasy and ethereal, and you can't believe it all, let alone a legend about the love between men and women, you just have fun listening to the story." But my daughter's family is the most willing to listen to such a relationship between men and women, or you tell me that story, and I can tell it to my good people when I go out one day, so as to please her. ”
Wen Ziqi looked at Yan Shisan after hearing this and said, "I can't see that Brother Yan is also a master of Fengyue. In this case, if the little brother hides it again, it will be a bit too much to say. Listen, according to legend, there is a couple of men and women who love each other very much in a small town, the two are usually a glue-like sweetness, one day the woman suddenly fell ill, the man did not think of washing his face with tears all day long, kneeling in front of the woman's bed every day begging God to save the woman, when the man's knees were bleeding, God was finally moved by the man's affection, and asked the man if you are willing to use your life to save her? The man agreed without hesitation. Heaven said, "When I see how sincere you are, I will give you a seed, and you will plant it, and you will water it day by day, and in a hundred days it will blossom into love, and then you will dig up the rhizome of this flower and make soup for the woman to drink, and she will be healed." But there is one thing you must keep in mind, this flower needs your heart and soul to water it in order to thrive, and the man was very happy when he heard it, and if he could save her, I would die. So every day he cut his wrist and watered the grass with blood, carefully tending to it, hoping that it would bloom as soon as possible, and in a hundred days, the grass finally bloomed with small purple flowers. At this time, the man, who was already skinny and dying, excitedly dug up a root and boiled soup for the woman to drink, and fed the woman with the last trace of strength. Soon the woman woke up, but the man left with a happy smile. When I first heard this story, I thought it was a story that my uncle had compiled in order to make me remember the herb, but today I saw Steward Feng commit suicide for love, which made me wonder if this story was really true. ”
Yan 13 haha Yile said: "I didn't expect the death of Steward Feng, what do you call it. I suddenly opened my mouth, and even my eyes on feelings have changed! "
Wen Ziqi echoed casually: "At this time, it really changed my view of emotional matters, and there are really people who are willing to give their lives for their beloved." ”
Yan Shisan looked at the candle flame in front of him and said slowly: "Not only for the beloved, but also for the beloved. It's just that the things that everyone loves are different, some people love things, some people love power, if you have a branch, he will fight for his life. ”
Wen Ziqi listened to Yan Shisan's words, how could he not understand the meaning of these words. This is clearly reminding yourself to do what you have to do, and not to rush forward and destroy what others have worked so hard to get your love.
Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Yan, listening to what you say, there seems to be other meanings in it?" ”
