Chapter 152: The Beginning

Chapter 152 begins

"You know besides betting," Xin Chaoling's wife snorted.

"The man speaks, the woman interjects," Xin Chaoling slapped the table and shouted.

Xin Chaoling's wife pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Banniang.

There's also a woman's house here.

Xin Chaoling's face remained unchanged, and he snorted, "Gu Niangzi is more manly than a man's family... ”

"Shut up." Xin Chaoyang said.

Xin Chaoling hurriedly bowed to Gu Banniang.

Gu Banniang smiled and didn't care, that is, what did it matter if she Gu Ba Niang was like a demon and a monster, because she was worried that when others said that she was not good at all, she was honestly afraid that she was gone with death.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ All pharmacists participated, and the one with the most skilled skills won," Xin Chaoyang said.

"Isn't that just playing dice, the highest point wins... Xin Chaoling interjected on the side.

Gu Banniang smiled and nodded and said yes.

"And the fighting technique is a pharmacist naming the opponent..."Xin Chaoyang continued.

"There's a stake on this, right? There are not many words without mistakes," Xin Chaoling interjected again.

"It's vulgar, but it's meaningful." Xin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"What's the bet?" Gu Bainiang asked.

"Well, I don't know." Xin Chaoyang said, picking up the wine poured by the beautiful maid and taking a sip.

"Don't know?" Gu Banniang frowned, and stopped the maid who was about to pour wine, "Confidentiality? ”

"Not really." Xin Chaoyang shook his head, "But I don't know until the victory or defeat is decided." ”

Gu Banniang turned the wine glass, nodded in contemplation, "I understand, the losing side has to let the winning side open the conditions." ”

Xin Chaoyang nodded, "Exactly." ”

"Huh?" Xin Chaoling was so surprised that he almost spilled the wine glass in front of him, "Then this game is too big, in case the winning side is going to lose, kneel down and kowtow to ask grandpa to learn how to bark ...... dog."

"You think people are so boring with you?" Xin Chaoling's wife couldn't help but glance at him anymore.

Gu Bainiang pursed her lips and smiled.

Xin Chaoyang also glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

"In fact, the conditions that can be prescribed are only limited to prescriptions or a certain medicinal technique, right? There are not many mistakes," Gu Bainiang asked.

For the pharmacist, the secret recipe of his own skill is as important as life.

Xin Chaoyang nodded, "Of course, the conference has a certain charter, and it won't let people come nonsense, and those who can participate in the fighting skills are either famous pharmacists or famous masters......"

Peers are jealous, even if they wish the other party was dead, but as long as they win the other party, it is enough to make the other party lose face, and if they do something else, they will only lose face, after all, this is a game in full view.

".....Judging from previous conferences, this is mostly the case, so those who dare to participate in the fighting skills are here for a purpose, and it is really tempting to rush this one of the losers' irresistible bargaining chips, and this year it is even more tempting....." Xin Chaoyang said, looking at Gu Bainiang and smiling.

Gu Bainiang smiled clearly, "Is it because of me, a soft persimmon, to participate?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Persimmons are, but not soft persimmons." Xin Chaoyang laughed.

Xin Chaoling pursed his lips and said: "Gu Niangzi is a human being, she is Liu Gong's apprentice, who dares to pinch you as a soft persimmon, eat and support it..."

Gu Bainiang also laughed, but did not speak again, lowered her head and poured herself a cup of tea, the clear tea reflected the contours of her face in the bright light.

The bigger her fame, the more people will want to challenge her, but no one dares to do it because of Liu Gong, this big medicine will be an opportunity for open competition, this opportunity is rare, Liu Gong is already an unshakable status, but his apprentice is not himself, there is always a chance to shake, if he wins, it will definitely be a big reputation.

"Gong Liu will come this time, right? There are not many words without mistakes" Xin Chaoyang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he seemed to inadvertently turn the teacup to look at it, with a bit of exploration in his eyes.

Gu Bainiang's eyelids jumped slightly.

All the status she has now relies on the name of Liu Gong, everyone respects her as a disciple of Liu Gong, and to put it bluntly, she respects Liu Gong behind her, although she is the heir of Liu Gong whose identity is unquestionable, but the concoction of medicinal materials, how important the master's personal guidance is, everyone also knows it, without the master, it is like a blind man.

And now she is like a blind man, lonely in the face of the unknown road ahead, or eradicating thorns and flowers, or stumbling and finally disappearing, reaching the pinnacle like Liu Gong, too far away and too high to reach.

She raised her eyes to look at Xin Chaoyang, wondering if when he learned that Liu Gong would never appear again, and he, a golden pharmacist with the name of Liu Gong's disciple in his eyes, might soon be annihilated in the master of the concoction and pharmaceutical world, and whether the kind of care on his face could still be maintained?

He is good, they are good, everyone is good, all the respect for her is subject to Liu Gong, but no matter how famous Liu Gong is, the dead will never be more useful than the living, and respect and cooperation are all based on the premise of equal supply and demand.

Therefore, Liu Gong asked her to always remember that she was a pharmacist and only dealt with medicine, not people.

People are always unreliable, always untrustworthy.

This big medicine meeting is indeed a bit unpredictable for her, who has never compared pharmaceutical skills with others head-on.

But so what? Do you want to hide and not participate? Hide this time, hide in the future, and only hide until you think your skills are better and the world is invincible? Today pushes tomorrow, tomorrow repeats tomorrow.....

Hide, retreat, she never had these two words in her mind in this life.

Concealing the news of the master's death is already a great unfilial piety, and if you retreat and dare not show your skills, you dare not compete with others, then you really have no face to call yourself Liu Gong's apprentice Besides, Liu Gong's reputation is not born or apprenticed to a teacher, and it has not been accumulated step by step for decades, so it is time for him to take the first step.

"This kind of trivial matter, he will not worry about the old man." Gu Bainiang smiled, raised her wine glass and took a sip.

Looking at the confident look that suddenly burst out of this girl's eyes, a trace of imperceptible relief flashed in Xin Chaoyang's eyes.

"That's just as well." He laughed, and took a sip of his glass.

Watching the carriage of the Gu family's mother and daughter gradually move away, the slightly drunk Xin family master seemed to inadvertently glance at Xin Chaoyang who was standing at the door.

The Si people are gone, and he is still staring at the distance.

The old man of the Xin family walked over with a hint of a smile and coughed.

"Chaoyang, it seems that you are overly worried now...", he said, with a smile that only men understand.

There was no end to this, and the drunken Xin Chaoling walked past them and stared at them with drunken eyes.

"That's it, that's it, where will I get drunk, this little bit of wine, the eldest brother just thinks too much...."He said vaguely.

The old man of the Xin family glared at him with disgust.

Xin Chaoling didn't notice it at all, and while kneading the two beautiful maids who were holding him, he was talking drunk and left.

"Call this thing to do? Shame. The old man of the Xin family snorted and said.

"No intention is harmless." Xin Chaoyang smiled.

"This Gu family lady is still so guarded? It's that you're thinking too much..."The old man of the Xin family frowned and was a little surprised, "How can a woman have so many hearts, and she will be dizzy in a few words....."

For example, Cao's .....

He used to think so, Xin Chaoyang smiled faintly, and looked at the street with red and willow lights again, although the night was dark, it was still full of people.

"This time, if it weren't for my father and mother, our family would have had a banquet and a gathering with fellow villagers, she wouldn't have come." He said, his eyes were insightful, "So, father, I didn't think much about it, so let's forget about getting married." ”

The son never does something that he is not sure of, so if he wants to use marriage to turn this Gu Niangzi into a letter family forever, it will not work?

"This girl is so troublesome?" The old man of the Xin family frowned, his eyes were already full of displeasure, thinking of such a long time of flattery, there was no progress, "I think she is spoiled, I don't know the truth and falsehood, I don't know the height of the sky, our family is married to her, and it is bad for her, this kind of person..."

When he said this, he snorted softly, "I have seen a lot of this kind of young pharmacist who is a famous teacher from a family, and they will never know that there is someone in this world who is worthy of their reliance."

These words came into Xin Chaoyang's ears, his expression moved slightly, maybe his father was right, this Gu family lady was indeed too smooth all the way, so she was a little arrogant with confidence, and she didn't take anyone in her eyes.

"In this way, I was a little expecting Gu Niangzi to return this time...."A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to look at his father and whispered.

The old man of the letter family said that sentence was originally unintentional, but suddenly heard his son reply to this sentence, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It goes without saying which one is easier to recover, a pharmacist who is full of ambition and a setback.

Merely....

The old man of the Xin family smiled bitterly, "How is this possible?" It would be fine if she was a disciple brought out by other pharmacists, but she was a disciple of Liu Gong....."

"Her apprenticeship was last year." Xin Chaoyang said.

"But don't forget, she didn't start selling medicine after her apprenticeship..."The old man reminded him.

The intersection between Gu Niangzi and Liu Gong has always been mysterious, some people say that it is an occasional meeting in recent years, and some people say that Gu Niangzi was secretly taught by Liu Gong in her life, in short, all kinds of rumors do not know whether they are true or false, but the more they spread, the more they spread, as for the truth, except for the parties concerned, I am afraid that no one knows.

"I know you also inquired, Gu Niangzi has never been a stranger for more than ten years, but since the year before last, Su Yiyi became famous, do you think this can be done in just a short period of time?" No mistakes, no word skipping. The old man of the Xin family continued, and finally nodded firmly, "Absolutely not"

There is no such thing as an overnight success in this world, even if a dark horse suddenly kills, then this dark horse must be silently cultivated for a long, long time without anyone knowing.

Of course, there are also talented people in this world, who can achieve ten times more than ordinary people after paying the same amount as ordinary people.

The father and son couldn't help but ponder for a moment, but no matter how smart they were, they couldn't imagine that Gu Bainiang had ten more years of experience than ordinary people because of the strange encounter of rebirth, and it was this ten years of experience that made her seem to learn simple pharmaceutical skills out of thin air, and thus got the fate with Liu Gong.

"So no matter what, this Gu Niangzi is not an embroidered pillow, not to mention that there is Liu Gong standing behind her, Liu Gong stretches out his hand to guide her for one day, and she can be worth ten years of work for others....." The old man of the Xin family said with envy, suddenly his voice paused, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Xin Chaoyang, "No, Chaoyang, why did you suddenly have this idea?" ”

He didn't forget, when he faced Liu Gong Pharmaceutical, which suddenly appeared in Jiankang, when everyone was hesitating, he did not hesitate to stand by the side of Gu Bainiang, who was really unbelievable, his son never did something that he was not sure of, nor did he make impossible conjectures, so this time, how could he come up with the idea that Gu Niangzi would lose at the big medicine meeting?

"Father, you also said that behind Gu Niangzi stood Liu Gong..."Xin Chaoyang said indifferently, "What if, Liu Gong is gone?" ”

The old man's expression changed greatly, thinking that his son has traveled extensively in the capital these days, and Dayousheng has already established himself in the capital, of course, it is impossible for them not to make friends with other pharmacists because of Gu Ba Niang, there are many famous pharmacists in the capital, coupled with the convening of the Great Pharmacist Association, almost all the pharmacists from all over the country have gathered, so the news about the movements of the pharmacists is naturally much more accurate and well-informed.

"Chaoyang, youβ€”" he lowered his voice with a solemn expression, "Do you know something......"

As soon as it entered September, the people of Su'an City gradually noticed that there were more people in the city, some of these people were old and young, some were surrounded by a few people wearing rich luxury frames, and some were ragged and lonely, but without exception, these people all had a strong medicinal fragrance on their bodies, and some of them were carrying burdens, revealing some strange tools, and these people lived in Su'an's large and small inns.

Gu Bainiang lifted the curtain and saw that there was already a crowd of people in front of the Yaowang Temple in the west of the city.

"Even the Anguo Pharmaceutical Association back then couldn't compare to the scale of this time," an old man walked past them with seven or eight young people, looking at the scene and sighing.

"I heard that Liu Gong is also coming this time... The young people said excitedly.

"Yes, yes... The old man's face could not hide his excitement.

Along the way, Gu Bainiang heard all these words, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, but at the same time, her eyes were a little red.

Her master won't come。。。。。。

Without the intention of watching and listening again, Gu Bainiang put down the curtain, and the carriage passed through the crowded and noisy main gate and entered directly from the quiet corner gate.

"Gu Niangzi, please."

The president of the medicine guild smiled and pleased.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Gu Banniang smiled and humbled gently.

"You're welcome, since your master doesn't come, then you are representing your master, and Liu Gong and his old man can afford it." Behind them, followed by a dozen old or middle-aged men, all of whom were pharmacists from all over the world.

The voice came from these people, and although it was smiling, it sounded strange.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Bainiang's mouth.

"In that case, the little girl is welcome." She spoke, reaching out her hand to push open the door in front of her.
