"Something?" Xing Ruyi asked in surprise: "Isn't it only happened in the past two years that he was falsely accused of selling counterfeit medicines?" ”

Miss Ruyi misunderstood, Mingyue was not referring to this incident, but the death of his family member, and he needed to keep filial piety at home. Zhang Donglin is a very ideal and ambitious person, it is not that he doesn't want to marry me, but he feels that at that time, it is not the best time to marry me. It's a pity that the person he thought would wait for him can't wait. ”

Shen Mingyue looked at the Buddha's hand carved from jade that had been sent to Xing Ruyi.

"If you can, I also hope that Miss Ruyi can help him find a better doctor, a person like him shouldn't be crazy all his life." Shen Mingyue said, kneeling down: "The matter of fake medicine is because of me. Zhang Cheng is a narrow-minded person, he accidentally learned about the past between me and Zhang Donglin, and thought that there was still a connection between us. It was he who deliberately bought off the shopkeeper in the pharmacy, knowing that Zhang Donglin was a scholar, and he wanted to save face and was thin-skinned, so he deliberately embarrassed him. It hurts me to see him go from being such a high-spirited man to the fool he is now. I know that my request is a little difficult for the girl, but now, I don't know who to ask for. Girl's great grace, Mingyue will report in the next life. ”

"I said I'd help you, but you're kneeling like this, I don't know what to do. Get up, get up, get up quickly. Don't worry, I will find someone to solve Zhang Donglin's matter. ”

"Thank you, Miss Ruyi!" Shen Mingyue said, the shadow gradually faded, and finally disappeared at the door of the Ruyi Rouge Shop.

After Shen Mingyue left, Xing Ruyi let the fox run away from Nanwang Village. It's just stupid, small things, Qingqiu Fox can solve it with a little hand. It's just the word sober, whether it is good or bad for Zhang Donglin, I'm afraid only he can know.

Soon after the matter in Nanwang Village was resolved, the business of Ruyi Rouge Shop gradually improved, especially on rainy days, those ladies and ladies who couldn't hold back at home loved to stay at these shops selling rouge and gouache.

It was close to noon, and the customers who had been hovering in the store for most of the day were sent away, and I was about to close the door and take a short rest, when I saw the person wearing a robe, standing on the right side of the shop. He looked like he had been standing at the door for a long time, and not only was his coat covered in water, but even his clothes were soaked.

"May I ask the girl, is this the shopkeeper of this wishful rouge shop?" The man asked, his head lowered.

Xing Ruyi quickly looked at the person in front of him, about forty years old, with some stubble on his chin. The stubble is very messy, long and short, and at first glance it is trimmed by himself, and his own craftsmanship is not very good.

"I'm the shopkeeper of this shop, may I ask who you are-"

"I grow flowers, I have a flower here, the rouge made is extremely beautiful, I want to ask the shopkeeper if he is interested in buying it." The man said, raising his head.

This man looked a little gloomy, and there was no anger on his face.

"If there is something good, it is natural to be interested. It's just empty words, I have to see things to know if what you say is true. ”

"I know the rules of doing business, flowers, I brought one."

"Inside, please." Xing Ruyi wanted to invite the man into the shop, but he shook his head and refused.

Xing Ruyi was helpless, so he could only ask him to stand under the eaves. The man didn't hesitate, didn't say any more superfluous nonsense, and directly took out the bright red roses from his robe.

It's strange to say that this flower has been put under the man's coat for so long, and it is still delicate and gorgeous, and the leaves are stretched. As soon as I got it in my hand, I smelled a particularly strong fragrance of roses.

"You planted this flower?"

The man nodded, then shook his head.

"I planted it, but I didn't grow it." The man looked up at the flower, with some panic and fear in his eyes: "Does the shopkeeper make rouge?" If you can, you can try it with this flower now. ”

"Now?" Xing Ruyi glanced at the sky.

Although the process of making rouge is not complicated, it is noon at this time, and she, the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, no matter how dedicated she is, has to eat. But looking at the man's complicated expression, he felt as if he was hiding something from himself, and if he didn't do what he said, if he hid it in his heart, he wouldn't tell himself nine times out of ten.

"It's not that I don't want to do it now, but I think that this rose has a good color, and it's a pity to use it to make rouge, so it's better to make rouge water."

"Rouge water?" Men don't seem to understand this.

"Rose rouge water, done well, can be compared to rouge has commercial value. Well, commercial value means that there is more money to sell. I'm a shopkeeper, and making money is the goal, right? As he spoke, Xing Ruyi had already ripped off those rose petals.

Draw water, rinse the petals, take out the precipitated grass and wood water in the shop, soak for 5 minutes, and then mash the petals until they turn into fine flower mud. The man did not enter the shop, but stood in the doorway, motionless as Xing Ruyi processed the rose petals.

After a long time, he spoke: "This flower was found on the grave of my lady. On that day, I went to the grave of my wife, and when I got up, I saw such a beautiful flower blooming on her grave. My wife was very fond of flowers when she was alive, and the dilapidated yard at home was full of all kinds of flowers, some of which were not picked up by others, and some of which I picked up from outside when I went out. But no matter what kind of flowers they are, she raises them very seriously, and those flowers bloom very well.

The lady loved flowers, and flowers grew on her grave, and I looked at them as if I were looking at her.

I didn't plan to pluck the flower, but when I pulled the weeds from her grave, I brought it out. I thought at the time, maybe it was the will of God, it was the intention of my mother, so I took the flowers home and raised them carefully. In the second year, the yard was full of these flowers, and they were fragrant everywhere. ”

"That's a good thing." Xing Ruyi was busy with his work and answered at the same time.

"It's a good thing." The man nodded: "In the second year after my lady left, the matchmaker in the village introduced me to another person. She's a widow and a helpless person, but she's a good fit for me. Although I couldn't give up my wife in my heart, it was not a matter of being single for the rest of my life, so I chose an auspicious day to marry the widow. They were all poor people, and they didn't do any ceremony, but they bought her clothes, bought some rouge lipstick that women love to use, and then drove my donkey cart and took her back. She's kind and doesn't care about that. We had a meal with our neighbors, even if we were done. ”

"It's good, although they are halfway couples, as long as they are trying to live a good life, these halfway couples are no worse than the original."

"That's not what I'm going to tell the shopkeeper." The man sighed: "After this widow entered the door, the days were no longer cold. Some people know the cold and the hot, and some people do your laundry and cooking, even if I don't give up my original lady, I have to learn to give up. I can't be sorry for this one in front of me, can I? I don't know if I'm doing this because of my affection, or if it's what people say, I just think that I'm always thinking about it and it's unfair to the woman in front of me. ”

"It's normal for you to have this kind of tangled emotion, don't feel any psychological burden. You are not a bad man, since your mother passed away, you still go to see her every year, you can be regarded as affectionate. It's normal that you can't bear your original lady, and it's normal that you want to forget her now. If you want to ask for my opinion, my advice is to be idealistic. You don't have to deliberately remember, you don't have to deliberately forget, just go with the flow.

When it's time for the sacrifice, if you want to see it, take your current lady with you. Not to prove to her that you can't forget the people before you, but to tell her that your heart is open. By the way, it can also let you go to another place to rest assured that you are living well and happy. ”

"That's what I thought, but things are starting to get wrong." The man's expression began to grow more and more anxious.

"It's very strange that I have a flower in the yard. Other flowers bloom in spring, summer, or winter, but these flowers, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, are always open. The widow whom I had newly married and came in saw that the flowers were blooming brightly, so she took herself and made rouge. To be honest, I was a little unhappy in my heart. Although I married her, the relationship was not so deep after all, and in the two years since my mother left, I have almost regarded these flowers as her.

Although I was a little unhappy in my heart, I could only endure it. These things are big things for me, but not for her. She doesn't know what's going on, she doesn't know what I'm feeling, and if I lose my temper with her because of this, I'm wrong. ”

Xing Ruyi stretched out his hand and gave the man a thumbs up.

Although she has never been in a relationship herself, she has heard and seen a lot. In this Tang Dynasty, some are ex-wives and ex-husbands, but in her original world, ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends are everywhere. This is for the ex-girlfriend to toss the current girlfriend, and for the sake of the ex-boyfriend, it is common to lose his temper with the current boyfriend. It can't be said that these people have a problem with their mentality, eating what is in front of them, and still thinking about those that no longer belong to them. It's that people are not plants and trees, and who can be ruthless. The things engraved in my heart are not so easy to erase, and if I accidentally touch them, they will hurt, and I will have inexplicable emotions that even I can't control.

The man didn't see Xing Ruyi's movements, he was only immersed in his statement.

"She made her own rouge and used it herself, and I don't think there's anything about it. Strangely, after using the rouge, she began to change, becoming more and more like my old lady. Not only does it look like it, but it also looks like it, but even the tone of speech and the way I walk are exactly the same as my former lady. ”
