Even though Saussurea Pill is very beneficial to cultivators, let alone change ordinary people. When Bai Yi gave the Snow Lotus Pill to Zhuang Yulang, he said it was a family heirloom of the Bai family. Zhuang Yulang didn't take it seriously at first, he just thought it could improve his health, but after taking it, he felt a wave of energy pouring from the top of his head. In an instant, he sobered up and became refreshed.
Not only was he refreshed, he found that he had never been so happy in his life. There was nothing wrong with his body, his ears were bright and his wit was quick. When he saw the tree outside the window, he thought of a very good poem. He wrote an article right away, no matter how he was admitted to Juren, after studying for so many years, you can tell whether the article is good or not. This article is better than any one he has done before, even better than many other students. Well, and this is just his random creation!
Zhuang Yulang realized firsthand how good this elixir is, so he immediately asked Bai Yi if he had a second one. It was a pity when Bai Yi said no, but then he was very moved. Such a good medicine, Bai Yi just gave it to him, she didn't take it herself, Bai Yi was really kind to him!
Since then, Zhuang Yulang has become more gentle and considerate to Bai Yi, and after his quick thinking, he can write admirable poems when he participates in the poetry meeting, and he begins to be appreciated and sought after by other students. "He is very energetic and naturally in a good mood, the whole person is radiant, and he treats people very kindly.
Seeing him so happy, Zhuang Liushi also thought of Bai Yi's kindness, and it was rare that he didn't criticize him anymore, and he was much kinder to Bai Yi. This period of time was actually the most relaxed and comfortable day for Bai Yi to be with them. She was a little confused. She worked so hard to cooperate with them and understand them before, but she gave Zhuang Yulang a snow lotus pill? Then why did she pay so much and suffer so much grievance
This time, Bai Yi really didn't like to go home, she would rather go out with Bai You to see a doctor. Whenever she cures a patient and the patient and their family members smile sincerely at her, she feels an indescribable sense of satisfaction and heartfelt happiness.
She doesn't know what's wrong with herself, isn't this what she expected at the beginning? How come you are not as happy as you imagined after you got it? Or was she unhappy because all of this was in exchange for Snow Lotus Pill
Bai Yi didn't understand her thoughts for a while, so she just let nature take its course. If there were patients, she would go out to see a doctor, and if there were no patients, she would fiddle with medicinal materials in the shop, or follow Chu Xiang to hunt down demons and ghosts. Sure enough, life was much more interesting. .
She had been with Chu Xiang for a long time, and found that Chu Xiang actually supported a group of poor students! Those students are big and small, some are juren who will take the big exam this year, and some have just passed the exam and those who have not yet passed the exam, ranging from five to thirty years old.
Bai Yi was very puzzled, "Sister, what are you sponsoring them for? Do you know them?"
Chu Xiang said with a smile: "I don't know, but isn't that the way to do good deeds? Do it if you want. You see, you always felt that Zhuang Yulang's life was sympathetic, so I also sympathize with these students. They They are obviously very talented, aren’t they? They should be given a chance to take off and become the pillars of the country.”
Bai Yi nodded with a half-understanding, "That's it, sister, you are so kind."
Chu Xiang smiled, doing some good deeds is just a matter of effort for her, and the people who can be affected are not as simple as a little bit.
When Chu Xiang sponsored students, he also met many beggars and hooligans by chance. He also sponsored some people with good character and ability, so that they had better opportunities for development. Before she knew it, her influence began to expand. She really didn't mean it, maybe it was a habit, and she unintentionally built an underground force.
Bai Yi didn't know that much, but she knew that both Chu Xiang and Bai You liked to do good deeds. Although Li Yufeng hadn't done anything in particular, he was a monster catcher, and every time he made a move, he was doing good deeds. She also moved her mind and wanted to do something she could do.
It is a good thing for her to see a doctor and treat others. Sometimes she will take the initiative to waive the medical expenses when she meets a particularly poor family. After seeing those poor people, she also began to donate porridge and clothes to help those poor people.
At first, Mrs. Zhuang Liu objected very much when she saw her donating porridge and clothes. That was the first time that Bai Yi confronted Zhuang Liu's bluntly and insisted on doing his own thing. Zhuang Liu had no money in his hands and couldn't control Bai Yi.
Later, when Zhuang Yulang went out, he was held back to thank him, and some fellow students praised him for his great kindness, and his good name spread. When he returned home, he restrained Zhuang Liu, and did not allow Zhuang Liu to take care of Bai Yi's affairs.
In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yi is Zhuang Yulang's fiancée, so the good deeds she does can naturally fall on Zhuang Yulang's head. Today's Zhuang Yulang is completely different from before. He is a great talent, does good deeds, and his family has opened an increasingly famous medicine shop. He is well-dressed and generous. Every time he goes out, seven or eight students are willing to follow him. Quite a sight.
His sense of superiority also followed, and sometimes when he met Li Yufeng who was about to go out, he would take the initiative to ask, "Brother Li, won't you go to the fun with me? It's not good to study hard, or you need to communicate more with everyone."
Li Yufeng refused with some amusement, "No, I'm going to the teahouse to help my wife, Brother Zhuang, go by yourself."
Seeing him like this, Zhuang Yulang couldn't help persuading him, "Brother Li will be said to be afraid of guilt like this, is it okay..."
Li Yufeng didn't even want to listen to such words, and usually interrupted him to find an excuse and leave. He felt that there might be a saying in Zhuang Yulang that would eventually be fulfilled, that is - if the sky wants him to die, he will be driven mad.
Li Yufeng used more and more money, and Chu Xiang also used more and more money. After the two of them discussed it, they opened several more shops. They have useful people under their command, and it didn't take long for each shop to open and make profits. After all, during this period of time, they helped people hunt down demons and catch ghosts, and they also met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is still possible to give them some protection and benefits. In this regard, they can also count as leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and the smoothness is unimaginable.
But Li Yufeng started to hide his appearance when he went out again, Chu Xiang wondered, "What are you doing? You met your enemy?"
Li Yufeng said with a smile: "There are indeed enemies, but it's okay, they haven't found out it's me so far, my beard was too rough before."
Chu Xiang remembered that when he first met him, he looked really rough, and it was different from the handsome man now. She asked: "Who is your enemy? The one who seriously injured you that time? Do you want to avenge you first?"
Li Yufeng thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's not the right time, I'll tell you when it comes, and I'll give you a... surprise?"
"It doesn't matter if you are surprised or not, just don't give me a shock."
"It's too hard to scare you. I don't have the ability yet."
The two of them were walking on the street and talking, when Li Yufeng suddenly stopped and looked ahead, pointing to Chu Xiang, "Isn't that... the Jiang family?"
Chu Xiang looked over and found that the group on the opposite side was Miss Jiang's family who had been taught by Bai Yi. She was a little surprised, "Why did they come to the capital?"
Li Yufeng thought for a moment and said: "Jiang Zhifu is a side branch of the Jiang family in the capital, and Jiang Zhifu's term of office has expired, Xu is going to Beijing to report on his work, and he will bring his family members and direct descendants to get close."
Chu Xiang glanced at him, "You know a lot."
"Otherwise, why is it called 'Bai Xiaosheng'? I just know everything."
Li Yufeng took Chu Xiang to a small path, avoiding the Jiang family, and didn't take this matter to heart. Unexpectedly, within a few days, they heard about the Jiang family at home. The Zhuang family's mother and son ran into the Jiang family sisters on the street!
Zhuang Yulang was dragged by Zhuang Liushi to buy clothes. The big exam is coming soon, and Zhuang Liushi wants Zhuang Yulang to dress up more glamorously. Naturally, they went in and out of a well-known clothing store, and they happened to meet the sisters of the Jiang family who were also shopping for clothes.
Miss Jiang was very surprised to see Zhuang Yulang, she didn't understand how a poor scholar could be so bright in the capital. She tentatively asked a few words, and Mrs. Zhuang Liu rushed to tell all about her family. Mrs. Zhuang Liu is very proud. Back in the town, she could only look up to Miss Jiang. Now they have a shop in the capital, and Zhuang Yulang has become a great talent again. He is still famous, so of course I have to talk about it.
The more Ms. Jiang listened, the more surprised she became. Even her sister-in-law, Ms. Jiang Er, became a little interested and quietly looked at the handsome Zhuang Yulang.
Zhuang Yulang still remembered that his mother sold the fox to Miss Jiang, and later returned the money to get the fox back. He felt very embarrassed to see Miss Jiang again. However, he somehow knew that the relationship between his concubine and his concubine would not be very good, so he didn't mention this matter in front of Second Miss Jiang, but he generously settled the Jiang sisters' bill at the end of the day.
When Miss Jiang returned home, she sent someone to inquire about Zhuang Yulang's news. Unexpectedly, it was quite easy to inquire. Zhuang Yulang has been very high-profile recently, and many people know about him. When Ms. Jiang heard that Zhuang Yulang's talent was probably high school, he opened a shop and lived a good life, her mind couldn't help but float.
Although she didn't remember the part where she was severely taught by Bai Yi, everyone knew that she fell from the sedan chair to the street before. Anyway, making a fool of herself in public has some influence on her. She came to Beijing this time because her family wanted the master's help to find a marriage.
The family status of the marriage is still very important. She knows that the main purpose of the aunt's coming to Beijing this time is to find a good marriage for her aunt, hoping to marry high. She was just passing by, and in the end she might be found with a family that looks good but is not so good in reality, so she will have to suffer in the future.
But it would be different if she married Zhuang Yulang.
She had a good impression of Zhuang Yulang before, but Zhuang Yulang's family was poor at that time, so she didn't think about it. Now it is different, Zhuang Yulang can still dress nicely and treat guests generously in the capital, which shows that his family is really rich. In addition, Zhuang Yulang is likely to be in high school, and he will definitely be an official by then, and she will be the official's wife by then. Zhuang Yulang is so talented, it is very likely that he will be promoted step by step, and her father will definitely be willing to support him at that time, won't everything go well? How can it be better than what her aunt found for her? !
Ms. Jiang had this idea, and she started to wander the streets. Zhuang Yulang also liked to go to poetry gatherings and tea parties, and the two of them would meet each other from time to time. From talking a few words to having a cup of tea together, they quickly became acquainted .
Second Miss Jiang also inquired about Zhuang Yulang and told her mother about it. However, she is the daughter of the Jiang family, and Master Jiang is the magistrate anyway, and the direct line of the family is still very powerful in the capital, so naturally he cannot match the poor students. Even if this student looks good, he is not good enough for the daughter of the Jiang family.
After Madam Jiang knew Miss Jiang's intentions, she neither supported nor blocked her. As long as she didn't cause any trouble, she would wait until after the big exam to see the results. If Zhuang Yulang can really go to high school, then using a concubine to win over an upstart would be a good thing.
As for Zhuang Yulang's fiancée who ran the drug store in the legend, they didn't take it seriously.
When Chu Xiang heard about Miss Jiang at home, it was because Bai Yi was angry for the first time, so he questioned Zhuang Yulang at the dinner table, "I heard that you often meet and have fun with Miss Jiang, and you are going to swim in the lake together today? No, why are you and Miss Jiang so close?"
Zhuang Yulang was flustered, frowned and put his chopsticks on the table heavily, "What do you mean? I met an old friend in a foreign land, I just saw her as a girl and took care of her a little bit. And it's not just me and her , there are other people here, if you ask like this, do you not believe me?"
Mrs. Zhuang Liu also frowned, "Bai Yi, what are you doing? Is there anything you can't talk about properly? Just say this in front of Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, isn't it embarrassing?"
Bai Yi said coldly: "I work hard every day to manage the pharmacy, and I never go out to have fun with other men. What is there to be ashamed of? I just want to make it clear that I don't allow other people to have those three wives and four concubines. There are no concubines, concubines, or maidservants in the house."
This is the first time that Bai Yi has been so strong towards them. The mother and son of the Zhuang family are not used to it. Zhuang Liu said angrily, "What do you mean? You made the rules before you even entered the house? It's up to me to make the rules. When will it be my turn?" Are you now? Married from your husband, you have to listen to Yuro in everything after you get married, how can you speak?"
Chu Xiang raised his head, but didn't speak. She wanted to see what Bai Yi would do, she couldn't decide everything for Bai Yi.
Bai Yi ignored Zhuang Liu at all, stared straight at Zhuang Yulang, and asked him for an answer, "Brother Zhuang, tell me, can you stop taking concubines in the future?"
Zhuang Yulang couldn't get off the stage when she forced him to question him like this. Now he cares more about face, seeing Li Yufeng looking at him, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment, stood up abruptly, left his sleeves and went back to the room after saying "making trouble without reason".
Zhuang Liu was afraid that his son would not have enough to eat, so he babbled about Bai Yi while loading the dishes. Bai Yi got tired of hearing this, and waved her hand to sweep the food she had just packed to the ground, and said coldly: "I bought the food and cooked it, if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it!"
"Hey you… "
Just as Zhuang Liushi was about to get angry, she suddenly fell silent when she saw Bai Yi's gaze, and felt a chill down her spine for no reason, with a creepy feeling. She wanted to scold Bai Yi several times but didn't say anything, and finally returned to the room with a cold snort.
Bai Yi picked up the jug and poured herself a jug of wine, took a drink from the glass, and said softly: "Sister, is it normal for a man in the world to go out with a woman like this?"
Before Chu Xiang could answer, Li Yufeng quickly waved his hands, "It's not normal, it's not normal, I've never gone out with other women." He turned his head and said to Chu Xiang, "No really, every time I go out to look for them It's a man, not a single woman."
"Huh? Not a single girl?" Chu Xiang expressed disbelief.
Li Yufeng thought for a while and said, "Yes, but I haven't spoken to them a few words, let alone go out for fun."
Chu Xiang rolled his eyes at him and pushed him aside, "No one asked you, why are you nervous?"
She pulled Bai Yi up and said, "Go, go for a stroll."
Chu Xiang took Bai Yi to a crowded street, and the two walked slowly. Chu Xiang would point it out to her when he saw couples or men and women walking together. Bai Yi saw that some couples were loving and sweet, some couples were arguing and bickering, some men and women were shy and reserved, and some men and women were polite and alienated.
There are many, many ways men and women get along, because they can hear the voices of those people, so they can easily know what kind of relationship those people are. There was a man and a woman who Bai Yi thought were very sweet, but the woman was actually the man's concubine. There was a couple who looked plain, but when the carriage came, the man immediately protected his wife and asked her to go inside.
Bai Yi seemed to be watching the various states of life. She looked at it seriously and worked hard, as if she understood something, but also seemed to understand nothing in the cloud.
Finally Chu Xiang asked her, "Do you think Zhuang Yulang treats you well?"
okay? She used to answer "yes" without hesitation, she just thought it was good. Zhuang Yulang secretly hides chicken legs for her a little fox to eat, delays his homework to gather medicine to treat her injuries, and argues with his mother to bring her home to raise, hug her, care for her, and care for her. Later she turned into a human form, Zhuang Yulang helped her when he saw her fall, took her in when he heard that she was an orphan, and helped her when he saw her being bullied by Zhuang Liushi, Zhuang Yulang was very kind to her.
But now? Zhuang Yulang took it for granted that she opened a medicine shop to support the whole family, and didn't care whether she was tired or not. Of course she is not tired as a demon, but if she is really an ordinary woman, can she not be tired after working so hard
Zhuang Yulang took her "family heirloom", but that gratitude has been gradually forgotten. Zhuang Yulang seems to have forgotten how his intelligence came from, and he enjoys all the benefits, even swimming in the lake with other women Having fun, when she asked, she lost her temper and left.
If this is good to her, then the men all over the street will not treat their wives badly.
After seeing so many couples, Bai Yi has a deeper understanding of "good" and "bad". For the first time, she truly feels from the bottom of her heart that Zhuang Yulang treats her badly.
She said softly to Chu Xiang: "Am I wrong? It was so good at the beginning, why did it become like this? If I hadn't persuaded him to go to Beijing, if I hadn't made him rich, if I hadn't given him Snow Lotus Pill... he Will he still be that kind benefactor?"
Chu Xiang took her to the lake, looked at the water and said, "Who knows? If it's just an if, you can't do it again. But human nature will not change. If you marry him, it is impossible for him to live in poverty forever." Sooner or later, he will still come to this point."
Chu Xiang smiled, "Do you think that there are no such things in the backcountry? There are also people who steal people in the village, those who sink ponds, and those who are expelled from the clan. If a person can't resist the temptation, then if he escapes the temptation, he will meet another lure."
Bai Yi also smiled, but the smile was uglier than crying, "Am I stupid? You have to teach me everything."
"No, as I said just now, human nature will not change. Even without me, you will figure it out after suffering a loss. It's just a difference sooner or later. Think about it, wouldn't it be possible without me? , will you let others bully you?"
"Of course not!" Bai Yi gave the answer without thinking. She is a demon with profound mana, how could she allow herself to be bullied by ordinary humans? That is never possible!
Bai Yi looked at the water and took a deep breath, "I'm not reconciled, how can I not compare to that Jiang?"
Chu Xiang pointed out: "Maybe it's the official attitude, maybe it's the family background, who knows, you always have some differences."
Bai Yi said with a half-smile: "Then I would like to find out what he thinks, that he doesn't even want his lucky wife who helps him become prime minister?"
For the first time, a lover always wants to find out what the other party thinks, Chu Xiang smiled slightly and did not object. If you want to figure it out, you can figure it out. Compared with humans, their life span is too long, and they always have to find something to do to pass the time. I just don't know how Zhuang Yulang will choose, can he shamelessly apologize to Bai Yi? Does he understand the importance of Bai Yi and Miss Jiang? Maybe they will part ways soon.
