Since the last time Zhao's mother returned to Jinyu Mantang, she couldn't find Rong Hua, so she didn't plan to take her shopping alone.

Even if Rong Hua goes out, he must arrange someone to follow, but Zhao Mansion has a lot of people now, and it doesn't matter if he gives one or two people to Rong Hua, and his body has been much better since Rong Hua has been conditioned, and it is not a problem to do some light work.

"Let Yiqing follow you, although I bought this little girl, but every time I talk about you, this little girl's eyes light up and I like you."

"I'm used to being alone." Now with a person younger than himself, can't he take care of her by himself?

"Oh, I can't afford to raise so many people in this house, if you don't let this girl follow you, I'll sell her!" Mother Zhao said viciously.

"I don't believe it, so you can coax me."

How could Rong Hua not know Zhao's mother's temperament after many days of getting along, that is, the knife mouth and tofu heart. She affectionately grabbed Zhao's mother's arm and shook it from side to side.

"Gotta get it, I'm going to faint, it's useless for you to coax me again."

"I'll take her to eat delicious food and have fun, and I won't bring it to you."

Rong Hua laughed.

"Who is rare. Go, go, I'll be quieter when you're gone. Mother Zhao thought that her son and Gao Fei were in charge of this patrol, so Rong Hua went.

Zhao Yiqing and Rong Hua are the most familiar, the two are a few years apart, but they are in the same mood when they go out to play, but the two women don't know how to do kung fu, which worries Zhao's mother.

The competition for the selection of medicinal materials suppliers in the palace is divided into three times, respectively, from the quality of medicinal materials, efficacy, and the knowledge reserve of each medicine merchant to sit in the hall to investigate, and the final selected people will enter the palace to face the saint, and the emperor will decide who is the imperial businessman.

The first game was held in the military training camp not far from 13th Street, which was a large and spacious place where the competition was most suitable.

The soldiers in the barracks were also happy that they didn't need to train for today's game, and they willingly cleaned up the venue for the merchants.

There was a boxy square on the training ground, and a row of tables and chairs was set up on the southernmost platform, where the referee sat at that time.

There are dozens of tables and chairs large and small under the stage, which are pharmacists from all over the country.

The pharmacists lined up neatly, but there were many people, but few people spoke, only the wind blowing the treetops and the referee's small voice.

"Miss, I can't get in." Zhao Yiqing is also small, she tiptoes up the wall and looks in with her head cocked.

"Don't look at it, come down quickly, don't be tired. I told someone that someone should pick us up later. ”

Speak of the devil.

Situ Hao came from a distance and saw Rong Hua standing at the door, and he trotted a few steps.

"I didn't have time to look for you, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Soon, I've just arrived."

The seat of the Situ family is in the fourth row and five columns.

There was only one table and chair, and the others were all standing, about a dozen people, except for Situ Hao, Ronghua only recognized Master Situ.

Rong Hua bent down lightly and called out to Master Situ.

"Oooo

"The merchants listened to the question, and the time of a stick of incense was silently written down on the medicinal materials they already had, and they began."

The title was announced, and everyone hurriedly grinded ink and wrote silently.

"This question is to test the number of types of medicinal materials in each business. And the person who answers the question must understand the type of his own medicinal materials and write it silently, and in the end, which one writes less, and if there is a mistake, it will naturally be brushed down. ”

Situ Hao doesn't go out often, but he is well-informed and extremely smart, and he can see through this kind of competition at a glance.

At the time of a stick of incense, there are dozens of people, at the same time, collect the questions of each family, put them on the top of the tray to the referee, and the winner is determined by the free referee.

Sure enough, the dozen or so merchants with fewer types of medicinal materials were brushed down, and there were still twenty left.

"And how many of these twenty will be left in the first round?"

Rong Hua asked quietly on tiptoe.

"About one-sixth or seventh, after the second round, there are only three left, and the last round is to pick one of these three to be decided by the emperor."

Emperor? "In that case, if the Situ family stays until the end, they can see the emperor."

Rong Hua's eyes lit up and he was looking forward to it.

"Theoretically, yes."

"Then you must win, and you can see the emperor when the time comes."

Sure enough, as Situ Hao said, after the first round of the competition, there were only five merchants left.

The game went on until the afternoon.

"Merchants, please listen to the question, the first question of the second round, smell the fragrance and distinguish the medicine, please mask your face."

Three gongs sounded, and the five merchants selected their outstanding doctors, sat at the table and blindfolded.

Medicine has four qi and five flavors, of which five flavors refer to sour, salty, sweet, bitter and bitter, and four qi refer to cold, hot, warm and cool four qi.

Smelling the fragrance and distinguishing the medicine is not only about smelling, but also about tasting its five flavors.

This round is much more difficult, and the Situ family is the doctor who personally got on the horse.

Five trays, five small piles of broken herbs were distributed to each house.

"Please pick out the following five herbs: green skin, ginseng, angelica, cinnamon, and nightshade."

The second question of the second round is to see a doctor and prescribe medicine.

This is not a problem for the experienced old doctor.

Situ Hao expected things like a god, and there were really only three left after the second round.

"Okay, great, so it's up to the emperor to decide." The happiest thing is Master Situ. "Have a good night's rest, there's a fight tomorrow. Especially Hao'er, come with me tomorrow to face the saint, don't be sloppy. ”

"Yes, father."

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Rong Hua feels that today's Master Situ has a much better attitude towards himself.

"I apologize to you for what happened before, on behalf of my father. If I knew, I would never let you leave Situ Mansion aggrieved. ”

Situ Hao has always been obsessed with this matter.

"I thought I had forgotten what you were talking about, and besides, I'm doing well now." Rong Hua said with a smile.

"That's fine, do you want to come with me for tomorrow's game?"

"Of course, why not go to such a great opportunity."

Of course, the Forbidden City is good, I have never stepped out of the East China Sea in my previous life, why don't you go to such a good opportunity.

The palace was majestic at that time, the emperor should be a majestic old man with a beard, and the emperor should have a lot of children, after all, there are so many beauties in the harem.

"Then tomorrow I will have someone go to Zhao Mansion to pick you up."

When I got out of the training ground, it was already dark, and I happened to meet Zhao Gang who had taken off his armor.
