This time the medicine meeting was really full of ups and downs.
Looking at the noisy crowd, the ten pharmacists on the stage flashed this idea at the same time.
"Although this girl is young, her composure in the face of a crisis is really unexpected." Kang Lao was silent for a while, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He looked across the dense crowd and looked at the people who were disappearing and appearing. The female figure said, "I think Liu Gong's name will not be insulted in the future."
The people around him were a little stunned when they heard this.
Ever since it was reported that Mr. Liu had accepted a female apprentice, the reactions of these old pharmacists were all long-faced. Especially Mr. Kang, whose doubts and dissatisfaction were written all over his face. Unexpectedly, after two games, Such a high rating.
That girl is not yet twenty years old.
She must die... Gu Lingyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. I don't know how much Mr. Liu knew about what happened back then, and I don't know how much he told this girl, but nipping all threats in their bud is what he has known since he was a child. truth.
Win, win, there is no defeat without victory.
Gu Shiba Niang walked through the crowd, and the sight around her changed again, showing awe, surprise, and envy.
"It's good to have a good master..."
Everyone is talking.
Yes, she failed because she had no ability, and achieved success because she had a good master, so her path was destined to be endlessly prosperous but also destined to be endlessly stressful.
After walking for what seemed like a long time, after finally leaving the noisy crowd, the daylight had long since disappeared, and the first light of night covered the earth with a thin layer of light blue.
She raised her head and looked at the night sky, took a deep breath, and the chill of the autumn night swept through her internal organs.
"Eighteenth Lady..."
Mrs. Cao followed closely, with no joy on her face, only worry and distress.
Under the bright lanterns around her, Gu Shiba Niang's face was frighteningly white.
I don't know how much hard work I have put into these two days and nights.
"Go back and have a good rest..." Ms. Cao couldn't help but burst into tears.
Why should a good daughter's family suffer this kind of punishment...
"It's finally over, Shibaniang, take a good rest." Peng Yizheng said with a sigh of relief.
Gu Shiba Niang shook her head, "It's time to take a good rest, but it's not over yet."
"You mean tomorrow's competition," Peng Yizhen said with a smile, "That's nothing. It's much simpler and easier than the past two days. It's just for exchanges and discussions. Besides, it's not mandatory to participate. If you don't want to compete, you can You don’t have to compete…”
Gu Shiba Niang smiled bitterly. Anyone could stop competing if they didn't want to, but she couldn't.
But it doesn't matter. Since she got the name of Liu Gong's disciple and the benefits brought by Liu Gong's disciple, she has to accept the responsibility, cannot be afraid of challenges, and cannot be afraid of failure. If she doesn't even have this mentality, she will hide and wait for her fate as soon as possible. Just pronounce the verdict, why talk about fighting against fate and changing fate
"Ah? You still want to compete?" Ms. Cao said in surprise, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.
"Mom, it's nothing," Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile, reached out to hold her hand, walked towards the carriage, and said, "That's what Uncle Peng said, it's very simple, the pharmacists get together to discuss, just follow Girls discuss and communicate with female workers in general.”
"That's it." Ms. Cao breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her daughter's tired face, "Then I can rest assured. You must be exhausted. I've made some soup for you. Go back and eat quickly. Then Have a good sleep…”
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and nodded, helped Ms. Cao get into the carriage, then turned around and said goodbye to Peng Yizhen.
"Ms. Gu, have a good rest. Let's see you tomorrow." Peng Yizhen smiled and handed over his hands. Knowing that she was exhausted, he left immediately without any pretense.
Lingbao, who couldn't stand, got into the car with Ah Si's help. Gu Shiba Niang once again turned her attention to the Yaowang Temple, which was still brightly lit and noisy. She showed the same relaxed and casual manner when she talked to Mr. Cao just now. The expression was gone, replaced by a bit of solemnity.
Competitive medicine, is it really that simple
The unusually smooth rice swill jar that fell to the ground appeared before her eyes again.
There are no coincidences or accidents in this world. Everything happens for its own sake, and every effect must have a cause.
Although I felt very tired, maybe it was because I was too tired and couldn't sleep.
The little girl on night watch saw the lights in the young lady's room turned on. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the sky outside. Everything was quiet and the stars were dotted.
"Miss..." She opened the door and walked in quietly. Under the light, she was wearing only a white silk piping coat and a white gauze skirt, Gu Shiba Niang was sitting at the table reading a book.
"Miss, you're tired. It's better to rest early." The little girl advised in a low voice with concern.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled at her and said, "I've had a nap. It's okay. You go to sleep and I'll read a book."
The young lady's words always took root, and she never meant any false words or polite words. The little girl no longer tried to persuade her, and of course she would not really obey and go to bed by herself. Instead, she took hot tea, stood aside carefully, and helped to cut the candles. flower.
"Miss, are the books really good? Miss loves reading so much." She couldn't help but ask, looking at Gu Shiba Niang's focused expression.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, put down the book, and rested her chin on her hand.
"Is the food delicious?" she asked with a smile.
"Some are delicious and some are not." The little girl tilted her head and replied seriously.
"But you have to eat it, right?" Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile, "It's to save your life."
The little girl groaned, seeming to understand, but looking at the faint tiredness on the young lady's eyebrows, she understood that it was not that the young lady didn't want to sleep, but that she had something on her mind and couldn't sleep. Her eyes fell on the desk, where there was a lotus flower pottery. Xun, so I had an idea and wanted the lady to relax.
"Miss, I haven't heard you play the xun for a long time. Can you give Ya'er one?" the little girl said with a smile showing her small fangs.
Gu Shiba Niang could see clearly what this thirteen or fourteen year old girl was thinking, and a slight warmth flashed in her heart.
"Okay." She nodded and smiled, reaching for the lotus xun.
There is a slight chill in the tentacles.
Gu Shiba Niang warmed it gently in her hand, and her eyes fell on the small characters engraved on Tao Xun.
So.
This was given to Xin Chaoyang after he learned that he was studying in Xun. It is believed that Chaoling said that he made it himself.
Gu Shiba Niang's hand brushed over the two small seal characters and she was slightly lost in thought.
"Miss?" the little girl asked in confusion.
Gu Shiba Niang came back to her senses, smiled at her, put the xun to her lips and played.
The turbid and noisy music rose faintly in the small courtyard of the Gu family and spread in the autumn night.
Without the obstruction of the hustle and bustle during the day, the sound flowed like water in the quiet night, and soon came to the outside of the Gu family's house. A figure bulged out from a wall shrouded in the night and retreated by the stars.
This person seemed to have been leaning against the wall for a long time, maintaining one posture for too long, and his body was slightly stiff.
Listening to the cool and distant sound of the xun, he stood a few steps away from the wall, raised his head and looked inside the high wall. Under the cold starlight, a faint smile and a hint of worry appeared on the blurred and indifferent face.
"I haven't slept yet..." He murmured in a low voice, "It sounds so good. Miss knows so much..."
He slowly leaned against the wall again and merged into the dark night again. It wasn't until the east turned pale that he turned around, wrapped himself in a night-like robe and left quietly.
After daybreak, Gu Shiba Niang's car drove away from her house and headed towards the Yaowang Temple along the streets that seemed to have regained their bustle in an instant.
Compared with the previous two days, Yaowang Temple was even more lively. This was naturally attributed to those two exciting games. Of course, for the public, all they knew was yesterday’s game with an unexpected ending.
Compared to the former number one pharmacist who won the first prize at the Grand Pharmacy Fair, Liu Jian's mood was simply indescribable. The bright banner with his name written on it was dazzling no matter how you looked at it.
His expression also gave the drug dealers who wanted to congratulate him a headache. How should he express his congratulations appropriately
"Anyway, Mrs. Gu has lost." Wang Jin slammed the table and said indignantly, "It's about mixing seven kinds of Xiangfu pills. If she can't make it, she can't make it."
This remark did not receive a response from everyone, nor did it have the effect he wanted.
Some people couldn't help but give him a look. It's really a joke. He can do it in nine systems, so why can't he do it in seven systems? This flattery is too low-level.
Liu Jian's face turned even uglier.
"Today..." He stood up and put his hands behind his back, "Let's spar today."
This sentence spread quickly. One is a new rising star, and the other is a famous teacher and disciple. Isn't such a duel worth looking forward to
When Gu Shiba Niang's car approached the Yaowang Temple, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the queue at the door that was longer than the previous two days.
"Ha, why are there so many people?" Ah Si, who was driving the bus, was surprised.
Isn't it said that today is equivalent to a relaxing gathering of pharmacists? Why do so many people come to watch? Watching a group of pharmacists drinking tea and chatting
"Did you invite a song and dance show?" Deng Er's eyes lit up. Temple fairs would have this event, so the gathering of pharmacists was also a temple fair, right
Gu Shiba Niang shook her head. Without asking, she could guess what was going on. What kind of expression would the master have if this situation was caused
She raised her head slightly, looked at the clear autumn sky, and thought of the thin old man.
"I just like to see others embarrassed..."
The old man seemed to appear in front of him with narrowed eyes and a narrow smile, but his rickety figure did not conceal his arrogance.
A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Shiba Niang's mouth, but her eye circles were slightly red. Yes, Master, I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely let Mr. Liu continue to be arrogant.
"Ms. Gu..." A man came over respectfully.
Gu Shiba Niang recognized that he was from President Qi, so she nodded and parked the car.
"This way, please." The man said with awe, and personally led the way, past the crowded and impenetrable front door, and entered through the quiet side door.
After getting out of the car, people from four or five medicine shops came to her after hearing the sound. They greeted her warmly and walked inside.
There were already many people in the Medicine King Temple. Seeing Gu Shiba Niang coming, countless eyes gathered over her. Although her name was not among the top 100 pharmacists hanging in front of the Medicine King Temple, no one was stupid enough to think that this was the case at this time. The little girl is an embroidered pillow
The results of those two games showed that Gu Shiba Niang's strength was enough to prove that she was worthy of the title of Liu Gong's disciple. This was a fact that people didn't want to admit but had to admit.
One perfect score and one uncrowned king bounced back the taunts prepared by many people. Again, strength proves everything.
"Ms. Gu is here..."
"Hello, Mrs. Gu..."
There are smiling faces everywhere you pass, and everyone who knows you or not tries their best to show their enthusiasm.
Because the weather was cooler, someone offered her a cup of hot tea.
"Ms. Gu, warm yourself up..." This is a beautiful woman, a few years older than Gu Shiba Niang, with a humble and flattering smile, "Our Hengdechang special ginger tea..."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and nodded. The difference between this day and the previous two days was that there were many more women coming, all about the same age as her. Through introduction, she learned that they were all medicine experts.
After all, it is more convenient for women to deal with women. Snacks, refreshments, and exquisite cushions are all provided.
"Hmph, what's so great..."
A voice that was inconsistent with the atmosphere suddenly sounded.
"Isn't it just because of this good master..." Wang Jin hummed while standing in the crowd, with an angry look on his face.
Of course everyone thinks so in their hearts, but speaking it out so clearly is really...
The lively atmosphere suddenly became quieter, and eyes with various expressions hovered over Gu Shiba Niang and Wang Jin.
Looking at the indifferent face of the girl who came all the way, Wang Jin felt extremely tight in his chest. How could such a vicious woman be so popular? What's even more annoying is that she still looked like it was natural.
It was just such a matter of course that she had such an expression when she was in Jiankang and attacked them at Baohe Hall. Now that she has come to the capital, she still feels so natural when faced with his questioning. Facing her grandfather's help, she still feels so natural.
As soon as this woman, this woman Wang Jin saw her, he wanted to knock her head open to see what was inside
He raised his head slightly and looked at the woman in front of him.
The woman looked over, her dark eyes indifferent.
"Why, isn't it..." Wang Jin met her gaze and continued.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Shiba Niang raised her hand and the hot tea in her hand splashed on his face.
"I just rely on my master, so..." Gu Shiba Niang looked at the young man in front of her. Like all the children from the rich family, he had fair complexion and exquisite clothes. At this time, the tea was flowing down his face, and he was in Qinglian. A piece of turmeric soaked out of the purple-dot and white-patterned round-neck robe, "What do you think you are relying on in front of me?"
After saying this, her expression remained calm, but her eyes suddenly became fierce. This sudden change shocked the people around her who had become accustomed to this girl's calm and ladylike temperament in the past few days.
"Don't rely on your grandpa to wear down my patience again and again." Gu Shiba Niang looked at the embarrassed young man in front of her, and suddenly smiled again, showing her thin white teeth.
This smile was as pure as a girl's, but paired with a pair of cold eyes, it looked particularly weird.
The people around her felt a chill for no reason, realizing that this girl was not as soft and gentle as she appeared.
"You are good to me because you are willing to do so. Don't act like you are repaying kindness." Gu Shiba Niang looked at Wang Jin who was trembling with anger and shock but could not speak. Without lowering her eyes, she raised her head again. Recovering his previous indifference, he stretched out his hand and nodded at him, looking around as if inadvertently, "Remember my words."
After saying that, she passed by Wang Jin with a face full of tea.
The people around him also came to their senses at this time.
"A junior should dare to be so rude to a great pharmacist like Madam Gu."
"Ms. Gu is a girl after all. If it were anyone else, she would have punched her long ago."
"Hit? It's so easy to beat him. If you dare to call him, Baohe Hall won't be able to open the door tomorrow. Believe it or not?"
There was a commotion all around.
They suddenly woke up at this time. Although Mrs. Gu was a woman, she was also a pharmacist. Among all the pharmacists who were somewhat famous, who had a good temper? What's more, it's strange that a pharmacist with the status of Liu Gong's disciple has a good temper.
"Should"
Everyone was gloating and laughing, passing by the embarrassed Wang Jin.
"Gu Xiang, I...I...I..." Wang Jin hissed with his face livid and his eyes red.
"What about you?" Another snort from the side said, "You won't cooperate with Mrs. Gu? That's great, don't block us..."
Wang Jin was like a wet firecracker.
"You guys, don't think she is a good person. Sooner or later, you will be betrayed by this woman..." He raised his sleeves and wiped his face fiercely, gritting his teeth.
These words didn't just draw mocking eye rolls. Everyone dispersed with laughter. Wang Jin stood there blankly for a moment, then fiercely shook his sleeves and rushed out.
Seeing his grandson's embarrassment, Wang Zhangyi looked embarrassed and angry.
"This brat," he whispered while holding back his anger, then turned to look at Prince Wen, who was standing under the eaves, his figure covered by a large robe and hat, but still unable to stop him from being overflowing with nobility, "I'm making you laugh. It’s…”
Prince Wenjun smiled softly, raised his head slightly and glanced at the woman who was surrounded by people, and walked into the house without saying anything.
Waiter Huang glanced at Wang Zhangzhang with his mouth covered with a smile, and followed him in.
"This brat should be pampered by his wife," Wang Zhang said angrily again and hurriedly followed him in.
On the other side, Xin Chaoling's face was full of admiration after watching this scene.
"Ms. Gu is so powerful," he clapped his hands and said, "She's so... arrogant, so enjoyable."
"Finally...recovered..." Xin Chaoyang seemed to be talking to himself, with a sense of sadness in his tone.
"Brother, what are you recovering from?" Xin Chaoling asked immediately.
Although he never understood one of the three sentences his eldest brother said, the best thing was to ask for advice humbly.
"Did you feel that something was wrong with Mrs. Gu some time ago..." Xin Chaoyang said softly, his eyes following the figure of the girl, "It seems...as if some hands and feet were suddenly restrained...suddenly feeling a little panicked and helpless..."
"Is there any?" Xin Chao Ling scratched his head and glared, "Why don't I feel..."
Xin Chaoyang didn't answer his words, he just said it to himself, "...but now it's the same as before, no, more..."
He paused for a moment, looking for the right words, "I feel more confident..."
"Oh," Xin Chaoling said cooperatively, "Of course, Madam Gu is Liu Gong's apprentice, so of course she is confident..."
Although the content of what the two brothers said was completely different, the success was that the questions and answers were well timed and the conversation flowed smoothly.
"Don't you want to repay kindness?" He murmured again, looking at Gu Shiniang's figure that could no longer be caught in the crowd, he sighed softly.
