When Gu Beiyue and Qin Min arrived at Shennong Valley, it was just dawn. The rising sun can't drive away the coldness of the night, and the wind blowing on the face is icy cold, which makes people wake up all at once. Qin Min and Ming Chen were still sleeping soundly in the carriage, while Gu Beiyue had already got off the carriage.
At the entrance of Shennong Valley, the old deacon and the mad valley owner had been waiting for a long time. Although they had never met Gu Beiyue, they could tell at a glance that the white-clothed man who parked in front of him and came on foot was Mrs. Gu. Both Gu Qishao and Yan'er gave them the same description, Taifu Gu is the most suitable person in white clothes in this world!
Both of them came forward by coincidence, very happy. There are two reasons for this joy. Firstly, they have been with Gu Qishao for more than half a month, and they almost lost their old lives, and they can't wait to change masters; secondly, after Gu Beiyue is the Gu family, their rightful master, Gu Yunyuan, is the most orthodox descendants. The two of them are most convinced that he will take over Shennong Valley. Gu Beiyue had never seen the old deacon and the crazy old man before, but she also recognized them at a glance. The old deacon and the crazy old man hurriedly bowed and saluted.
The old deacon said respectfully: "The Chief Deacon of Shennong Valley, Tian Zhixing, see the owner of the new valley!"
The crazy old man was also respectful, "Hong Wengyang, the deputy deacon of Shennonggu, see the owner of the new valley!"
"The two seniors don't need to see outsiders, please get up quickly."
Gu Beiyue is humble and gentle, but her smile gives people a feeling of being approachable, but not easy to get close to. Both Deacon Tian and Deacon Hong were flat, and Deacon Tian hurriedly said: "My lord, the madam and the young master must still be asleep. It's windy here, so hurry up and enter the valley."
Gu Beiyue nodded and returned to the carriage.
After passing the valley road sandwiched between two big mountains, a huge bronze statue of Shennong with the head of a cow and a human body greets your eyes. Just in winter, the vegetation withered, and the medicine fields in Shennong Valley were desolate, but the bronze statue was still covered with lush and lush medicine vines. Gu Beiyue, who was sitting outside the car, looked up, unconsciously feeling awed. Like Yan'er, he only saw a few kinds of medicinal vines clearly, and didn't recognize the ones in the high places.
Even in winter, the medicinal materials trading in Shennong Valley is always very lively. However, Gu Qishao, who is not short of money but hates trouble, closed all the herb markets in Shennong Valley, leaving the auction field and reward field, and they are not open every day like before, but open according to the mood. Fortunately, after the recovery of true qi, the demand for pills has risen sharply, and the demand for common medicinal herbs has greatly decreased, otherwise the entrance of Shennong Valley must be the same as the entrance of Medicine Ghost Valley, overcrowded!
The original reward venue and auction venue were merged into Xishan by Gu Qishao, the auction venue in Dongshan was converted into a tea garden, and Nanshan was rebuilt into three palaces. Everything in Beishan remained unchanged. As for the medicine market in the valley, half of it was converted into an alchemy room, and half was used to expand the school of pharmacy.
I have to say, it would be a waste for Gu Qishao not to be a housekeeper. He arranged everything for Gu Beiyue and Qin Min, even vacating Gu Beiyue's pharmaceutical prescriptions and Qin Min's flower garden.
The mountain road is so steep that you can't get on a carriage, so you can only take a sedan chair. The carriage stopped at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, Gu Beiyue glanced inside the carriage, and saw Qin Min and Ming Chen sleeping soundly. He carefully carried Ming Chen into the sedan chair, and when he returned, he saw that Qin Min was already rubbing his eyes.
He smiled lightly: "Woke you up?"
Qin Min slept late last night, and is still sleepy at this moment. If she was alone and woke up without seeing Ming Chen, she would have been in a hurry. However, with Gu Beiyue here, she can rest assured. She woke up and said, "It's here? Where's Mingchen?"
Gu Beiyue replied: "We've arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and Mingchen is still asleep, so I'll carry you into the sedan chair. You should get out of the car too."
Qin Min seemed to have thought of something, was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly got out of the car. Qin Min shared a sedan chair with Ming Chen, and Gu Beiyue followed Deacon Tian and the others on foot. A group of people went up Nanshan in the early morning sunshine. Settling down for tomorrow, having breakfast, the weather is getting warmer. The old deacon and Deacon Tian wanted to report to Gu Beiyue the situation in Shennong Valley these days. However, Gu Beiyue postponed the matter. He wanted to go to the Valley of the Medicine King first to pay homage to Gu Yunyuan.
The two deacons wanted to accompany them, but Gu Beiyue declined. After the two old deacons left, Gu Beiyue said to Qin Min: "There are many good places in this valley. When Mingchen wakes up, take him around. You don't have to wait for me to eat at noon."
Qin Min nodded and sent him all the way to the gate. She hesitated for a moment, then stopped him, "Gu Beiyue!"
Looking back, Gu Beiyue didn't remember when Qin Min always called him by his first name and last name. I have to say, this is very unlike Qin Min's style. However, looking at her serious look, he didn't feel that it was against her. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Min also smiled and asked, "Can I go with you?"
The two deacons said to accompany, but she didn't say the word "accompany", she said "together". "One way" means that she also wants to go, which clearly shows that he will not give him a chance to refuse.
I don't know if Gu Beiyue heard Qin Min's thoughts, but he didn't refuse, and replied: "Okay."
Qin Min ordered his servants to take care of Ming Chen, and then he and Gu Beiyue walked towards Yaowanggu. Yaowang Valley is just behind Shennong Valley, and can be reached through the secret passage behind Shennong Valley.
After so many months, the Yaowang Valley has been built according to the drawing drawn by Qin Mo, and it has basically returned to its appearance a thousand years ago. The only difference is that the terraced medicine fields are still empty, no medicinal materials have been planted, and the waterfall by the cliff is dry.
Gu Beiyue and Qin Min stood in the medicine field on the hillside, overlooking the entire valley. Gu Beiyue frowned slightly, as if thinking. Qin Min said: "In the spring of next year, it will take two or three years for the seedlings to be planted before it can be restored to its original state. Or, leave it to me?"
Gu Beiyue was a little surprised, she looked back and said, "Are you alone?"
Qin Min glanced at him, and said, "Even if I have ten hands, I can't do so much work. At that time, I will pick a dozen or so students from the School of Pharmacy in Shennong Valley."
Gu Beiyue explained: "It's up to you, as long as you like it"
Qin Min was slightly taken aback, and quickly said jokingly, "When did you become so negotiable?"
Gu Beiyue didn't seem to expect Qin Min to say that suddenly. He looked at her and didn't know how to answer for a while. Qin Min didn't make things difficult for him, but still smiled, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain."
Qin Min walked ahead, Gu Beiyue quickly caught up, and he didn't continue the topic just now. The further up the mountain, the stronger the wind and the colder it became, Gu Beiyue stopped Qin Min, "Wait a minute."
He took off the cloak and put it on for Qin Min, and carefully tied the belt for her. The two were close at hand, Qin Min smelled the unique fragrance of medicine on his body, which was familiar to her; she felt his well-proportioned breathing, but she was not familiar with it.
After fastening the belt, Gu Beiyue backed away and asked, "Is it warm?"
Qin Min hesitated, then shook his head...
