Gu Xixi got into the carriage and patted his head, oops, I forgot to talk about medicinal herbs!

Why is she so careless, but ...... Third brother, you look at her like that and give her a wrench, her mind can't think of anything else at all.

There is no way, the donkey cart is enough to save enough people to leave, and it is impossible to return now, and there is no chance to come to the county seat in the short term, so I have to wait for the third brother to return home from vacation.

Lin Zhaotang was a little embarrassed here, swallowed the meatloaf in his mouth, and smiled.

"What's this, this is coming back? Not to mention, my brother and sister's meatloaf is so delicious. I was going to wait for you to come back and eat a piece, but who knew that the fragrance went straight to my nose and hooked me to open the baggage, and I thought about who we were with, so I tasted it for you first. ”

Lin Zhaotang said with such a hippie smile and no moral bottom line.

Xie Zhiyan walked over to take a look, but the burden was opened, only the meatloaf on top was exposed, and the private things below had not been touched, and he also reached out to eat one.

One bite down his lips and teeth are fragrant, take a closer look, it turned out to be cut fat and thin pork belly and mushroom chives to make fresh, it took a lot of effort to see it, he felt a pain in his flesh, and reached out to pat off Lin Zhaotang's claws stretched out again.

"Brother Zhaotang seems to have a new famous teacher's guidance——"

"Share together, come on. Lin Zhaotang directly took the strategy pointed out by the teacher from the corner of the table.

Looking at the two oil handprints on it, Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but shake his head in his heart with a casual attitude, this kind of private guidance on other test-taking students who are not excited don't want it, it's really the same life.

Time flies in the full study, during which Xie Zhiyan only went back once in the month of Gu Xixi and Lu, and in a blink of an eye, people have changed into thin clothes, and as the exam is approaching, the atmosphere in the entire county school is tense.

In the past, there were still some activities such as drinking and playing, or appreciating spring and singing poems, but now everything has stopped.

Xie Zhiyan has been tense throughout the summer, reading, working, copying books, and arranging his time to the fullest.

The knowledge here refers to the knowledge of the examination, even Lin Zhaotang was infected, changed his lazy style in the past, and concentrated on preparing for the exam, so happy that Uncle Wang couldn't wait to kowtow to Xie Zhiyan to thank him.

Now the money is not too nervous, and after going back last time, Gu Xixi took him to the back mountain, and sure enough, it was the herb of "Seven Leaves and One Branch" that he stumbled upon.

Also known as the horse chestnut lotus, a flower emerges from the middle of a circle of wheel-shaped leaves, and the shape of the flower is also very similar to a leaf.

It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and drying the liver to calm shock. This medicine can be used for boils, sore throat, snake bites, fall pain, convulsions and other symptoms, and can be said to be a healing medicine.

On the same day, Xie Zhiyan took one to the largest medical hall in the county, and after seeing it, the doctor offered a price of three taels of silver per catty.

Comparing the prices of later generations, it is also fair.

This refers to the concocted ones, and the processing of medicinal materials is very professional, and the effect of the medicine is ruined if it is not done well.

Xie Zhiyan happens to have this knowledge, thanks to the fact that he has a grandfather who loves traditional Chinese medicine, and he also followed a lot of edification before he died.

He handed over the method to Gu Xixi, watched her operate it with his own eyes, and explained the matter of Xie Zhang's family, and then left home to study quietly.

Oh my God, this is terrible, Xie Zhang is worried about what his third son should do with the exam money, whether to lick his face and go to his uncle's house to borrow it, or borrow it again in the village.

Unexpectedly, a pie fell from the sky, and she looked at Gu Xixi's eyes as if she was looking at a golden pimple, who asked Xie Zhiyan to tell her that this medicinal herb was discovered by Gu Xixi.

Sure enough, what my mother-in-law said is right, this girl is a bit of a blessing, now it's okay, the work at home doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to go to the back mountain to dig up medicinal materials, and then come back to clean up and dry it and sell it in the county seat for money.

It's not that Xie Zhang doesn't want to take care of this matter by herself, but she can't keep up with the rhythm and is afraid of delaying her son's big event, so she has to let go.

There are still a lot of good things in the back mountain, especially this kind of medicinal material, which is quite easy to find.

A young couple often get together in the county, and they always go shopping and eating hand in hand, but it is like a date in later generations, and the relationship is getting stronger.

This is a great thing, Gu Xixi's status in the Xie family has skyrocketed, and in contrast, Sister-in-law Xie has become a rag that can be thrown at any time.

Now that her belly is bigger, she is even more excited, and she wants to eat a rare thing from time to time, Xie Zhang's is too lazy to take care of her, she only keeps it in mind, and it is not too late to settle the account when the piece of meat in her stomach falls to the ground.

After seven and a half months, the weather is not so hot, and Xie Zhiyan should be ready to leave.

Gu Xixi regretted that this was the last time to sell medicinal materials, and after selling this time, she had earned a total of thirty taels of silver in the past five months, plus the money Xie Zhiyan had earned, it was enough to be rich enough to take the exam.

The two returned home together, reported the recent situation to their parents and brothers, and then packed their things and went to the provincial capital.

Xie Zhiyan rejected his mother's plan to cook dozens of cakes for him for half a month, and only brought some food on the road for a few days.

No way, there is no preservation technology in these years, the weather is not cool in autumn, it is estimated that it has not deteriorated before it arrives in the provincial capital, in case of diarrhea, without antibiotics, because of cold and dysentery hang up more.

Xie Zhiyan didn't dare to bet, besides, he had the blessing of Lin Zhaotang's carriage, and he was cheap and didn't take advantage of the bastard, he was not a high-minded and proud literati who read and read pedantic.

Lin Zhaotang is the kind of person, if you want to be really polite to him, it will hurt your feelings.

In the end, Gu Xixi listened to an ear of how to serve her husband, but she couldn't let him be distracted, in short, she must take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and at other times she should be a table, chair, bench, wooden stake, and quietly don't show her sense of existence.

It is about 300 kilometers from the county seat to the provincial capital, except for the official road built by the state is relatively smooth, the rest are spontaneous road sections, and the road conditions depend on luck, whether there are potholes or gravel or mud, which greatly affects the driving speed.

Uncle Wang drove, there were Lin Zhaotang, Xie Zhiyan and Gu Xixi in the car, plus items, there were about more than 300 catties, fortunately, the carriage was big enough, and the horses were strong, so Uncle Wang didn't dare to drive hard.

There's plenty of time, and if something happens to the horse in the middle of the road, it's broken.

In one day, if the road conditions are good, they will walk 50 kilometers, and if they encounter poor road conditions, they will walk for 30 or 40 kilometers, in short, the group will walk for a week and reach the provincial capital.
