Chapter 20: Familiar at First Sight
Ling Haoran smiled slightly and said: "These two herbs are extremely ordinary, they are not precious herbs at all, one is Coptis chinensis and the other is Skullcap. ”
Wen Ziqi was stunned at first when he heard what Ling Haoran said, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "On the day of Deputy Hall Master Yao's great joy, it couldn't be more appropriate for this person to send these two flavored medicinal materials. ”
Ling Haoran looked at Wen Ziqi puzzled and said, "Listen to what you mean, you understand the meaning of sending these two flavored medicines!" ”
Wen Ziqi patted Ling Haoran on the shoulder and said: "I am not as good as you in terms of human feelings, but I know more about medicinal materials than you, not only do I know what it means, but even Deputy Hall Master Yao also understood the meaning of these two medicines when he saw them, otherwise why did he look so worried at that time?" ”
Ling Haoran thought about it and nodded and said, "Well, it should be that he already knew who the person he was sending was at that time, and he also understood what it meant to send these two herbs, but he didn't want outsiders to know what it meant, so someone just laughed when he asked." ”
Wen Ziqi took a long breath and said earnestly: "That's right, it's really a little embarrassing if someone knows what it means when you know what you are giving on a big day!" ”
Ling Haoran asked curiously, "Look at you, do you know who sent them, and what does it mean to send these two things?" Now that you know, don't sell it, and you can tell me about it at this time. ”
Wen Ziqi thought for a while and said: "Actually, if you know this legend, you can also guess who gave it when it came, and know what it means. Both of them were parents who died early, and were taken in by the old beggar when begging along the street, the old beggar was already old and frail, and after adopting two children, he went out early and returned late to find food for the two children, when it was in the middle of winter, it snowed heavily in the moon, and the old beggar who was inconvenient to walk lost his footing and rolled down the steps, and when the brother and sister found the old beggar, the old beggar was already angry, and the old beggar saw the two children and then used the last trace of strength to the brother and sister and instructed: "I can't do it, you two brothers and sisters will take care of each other in the future, and depend on each other for their lives, Whoever finds a good home in the future will be blessed and shared. Don't dislike the other person. After saying that, the old beggar died, and the brother and sister swore to protect each other in front of the old beggar.
After the death of the old beggar, Zeng Er, as the elder brother, took his young sister Lian'er, and the two began to wander around again, begging for a living. At first, the brother and sister got along okay, but after a long time, the young man who was the elder brother had an idea in his heart, and if he ate the food he got back every time, he couldn't eat enough, but it didn't make him faint, and he slowly realized that the little sister who was not related by blood was a drag, so he had the evil idea of abandoning his sister. So, he left the weak Lian'er alone in the mountains, and he went alone to pursue the life he longed for. Poor young and thin little Lian'er, because there was no one to take care of her, she was even cold and hungry, and soon starved to death in the mountains. Later, in the place where Xiaolian died, a lot of thin grass grew, and people felt that the shape of this grass was very similar to the thin body, because people remembered that the old beggar surnamed Huang named this kind of grass that grew in front of Xiaolian's grave Coptis chinensis. Because Coptis chinensis has suffered from bitter cold all its life, the sexual taste of this grass is also extremely bitter and cold.
Besides, this brother, since he abandoned his sister Lian'er, although he has gotten the happy life he dreamed of alone, every time night falls, in the dead of night, he thinks of the little sister who was abandoned in the mountains by himself, and always feels ashamed and sorry for the little sister. I always had nightmares when I slept at night, and soon I died of emptiness in my heart. In the place where the boy died, there was also a kind of grass, the roots of this grass are also yellow, the hour is solid, a little grown, its roots become black and hollow, people say that this is the incarnation of Zeng'er, so this grass is named skullcap. The story is over here, I wonder if you can guess who sent the herb after listening to it? Wen Ziqi said and looked at Ling Haoran meaningfully.
Ling Haoran smiled and said: "If you still don't understand this legend, then it's too stupid, I didn't expect that this little cousin of Deputy Hall Master Yao is also a powerful character, and he actually compared the negative Han Deputy Hall Master Yao to the hollow Huang Cen." It's no wonder that Deputy Hall Master Yao was depressed after seeing these two herbs. It's kind of interesting when you say that! Listening to the meaning of Deputy Hall Master Yao's words just now, this young man is quite talented in medicine, and he must have been carefully taught by this little cousin.
Wen Ziqi nodded and said: "Presumably, it should be, according to the rumors you just said, Deputy Hall Master Yao's uncle is already well-known in ten miles and eight towns, and his daughter must have benefited a lot from hearing and seeing it every day, if it is talented, it will definitely be superb." The children of such a person will never be far behind. ”
Ling Haoran nodded silently, pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "Talent, intelligence, and hard work, it's difficult not to achieve anything!" If this person is the third place, from the conversation we just heard, we can feel that this person is not very good at talking, and I am afraid that we will not get along so harmoniously in the future! ”
As soon as Wen Ziqi remembered to respond, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. When the two of them heard the voice, they saw Deputy Hall Master Yao walking in with a man about thirty years old, dressed in white, with a dignified body, black hair fluttering in the wind, a pair of eyes like shooting cold stars, and two curved eyebrows like paint brushes. The man saw Wen Ling and the others stretching out his hand and hugging his fists and said: "My person Pei Yuanting, I have heard of the two great names for a long time, and I am fortunate to be able to meet the two today, it is really a blessing!" ”
Wen Ziqi and Ling Haoran glanced at each other and hurriedly returned the salute: "Wen Ziqi"
"Ling Haoran"
Pei Yuanting heard that the two of them reported to their homes, and came up directly to grab Ling Haoran's hand and said, "Your Excellency is Ling Haoran?" It's really like its name, Haoran is upright! What a man who stands up to the sky! After that, he turned to look at Wen Ziqi next to him and said with relish: "Wen Ziqi, who is gentle and elegant, it is really better to see than to hear, and I feel like I am familiar at first sight when I see the two of you today!" I don't know how you two feel about me! ”
Wen Ziqi looked at Ling Haoran, the two looked at each other, smiled, and said in unison: "It's like old at first sight!" ”
Deputy Hall Master Yao, who was standing on the side, looked at the three people in front of him dumbfounded. This Pei Yuanting does things according to his personal preferences, never gives face to others, and has always been straightforward and fast-hearted, how can he be so polite when he sees the two of them today?
Just as he was thinking to himself, he heard Ling Haoran say beside him: "Brother Pei's big name and junior brother are also like thunder, no one knows who doesn't know, whether the pill works or not, it all depends on Pei Yuanting." When he was not in the church, he heard Brother Pei's name in the community. Today I finally got what I wanted. ”
Pei Yuanting said with a smile after hearing this: "Brother Ling, this is exalting me, how can I have any skills, it's just an exaggeration." Just next door, Deputy Hall Master Yao also told me that the third candidate for this big competition is me, and I will have to rely on the two of you to support me in the future.
Deputy Hall Master Yao suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Since the three of you have already met, and you have a good conversation, then I won't introduce much, from today onwards, the candidates for our Qingzhou branch will be determined, and the three of you will support each other in the future and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and strive to achieve good results in this big meeting." Now I will take you to find the head of the pharmacy, and then let his old man teach you. After that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Pei Yuanting glanced at Deputy Hall Master Yao who was leaving, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
