Agricultural Medicine Fragrance

  It's also true that in the past, Tang Jinxiu was indeed too absurd and had never done anything normal. Now, Bai An looking at himself with such eyes is also reasonable.

  It was the Liu family who saw Bai An's gaze fixed on An Yan, and hurried out to smile and say: "Young uncle, you don't know that Jin Xiu is now very powerful. Not only does he make a good dish, but he has also developed an improved bamboo leaf green. Nowadays, our white family's bamboo leaf green has risen in price by ten times, one hundred coins per tank."

  Liu's words to Bai An were only joyful, never a hint of worry. After all, Bai An was here to study and would take the imperial examination in the future, and couldn't be disturbed by those annoying mundane things.

  On one side, An Yan's gentle smile on his face was calm and serene, which actually made Bai An's gaze slowly warm up.

  Bai An had always been meticulous and sensitive in her thoughts, so she naturally noticed the difference in An Yan's words. Now, listening to Da Sao's words and looking at her gaze, it seemed to have a different meaning, as if she was seeing her in a new light.

  "The younger sister of the embroidered quilt has changed, if it can be like this, that would be great."

  Bai An spoke while staring at An Yan with unwavering eyes, as if trying to determine whether An Yan was pretending.

  She smiled lightly and said, "Jinxiu is truly repentant, and naturally she will become better and better. I hope Third Uncle can let bygones be bygones, but he cannot forget Jinxiu's past mistakes."

  As she spoke, her tone was occasionally tinged with a girlish coquettishness that left Bai An momentarily stunned, but his eyes slowly welled up with warmth.

  Hei Ping and Bai An chatted at the entrance for a while, then they found a small restaurant nearby to have lunch. This would not have been possible in the past. However, today they had earned a lot of money, and the problem of silver was also solved. Hei Ping rarely relaxed today. After all, they couldn't stand at the entrance of the academy forever. In the end, they decided to eat inside the small restaurant while learning more about Bai An's life in the academy.

  "The county exam in August is approaching, Ah An, you must take care of your body. Remember, your body is the most important thing."

  Bai Ping thought that it was already May, and the imperial examination was approaching. Looking at his younger brother's face now, he looked haggard, with a strong look of fatigue on his face.

  Bai An has been working very hard recently, firstly because the imperial examination is approaching and secondly because he has recently gained the appreciation of Master Shang Zhu. At this moment, listening to his elder brother's words of concern, Bai An's serious expression also relaxed, and he replied in a gentle voice: "I understand, it's just that I have recently received personal guidance from Master Shang Zhu, so I have been working extra hard."

  Upon hearing Mr. Shang Zhu's words, Bai Ping and Liu's faces immediately showed extremely surprised expressions.

  "It's actually Mr. Shang Zhu! Our family's Ah An is indeed the most outstanding, and has actually gained Mr. Shang Zhu's personal trust."

  Bai Ping looked very excited, as if he had received the favor of Master Shang himself. On the other side, Liu's face was full of smiles, and her eyes showed a sisterly affection and admiration for Bai An. This young uncle had always been diligent in his studies and also had great talent, and was extremely famous in Green Bamboo Village.

  "Big brother, you go back and let Mom and Dad rest assured. I will take care of myself. You guys shouldn't overwork either."

  Bai An's eyes revealed a deep emotion, looking at Bai Ping and Liu Shi as well as the slender and small Pang Ya by his side with great pity. The situation at home was originally still manageable, but his own studies had become a burden on the family. As a result, the family had always been living in poverty. And later, Tang Jin Xiu's arrival made this family even more miserable. Therefore, every time he saw Tang Jin Xiu before, he couldn't help but feel indignant.

  He didn't want to have such emotions towards a woman, but seeing his aging parents, brother and sister-in-law, nephew, and his own wife and children, he couldn't help but feel this anger. Because this cousin was so spoiled and willful. And in terms of interpersonal relationships, it was even more absurd. But unfortunately, his parents were still the same, treating them extremely well. Helpless, he could only work harder to study, wanting to stand out and let his family not suffer anymore.

  During the meal, she didn't say much, just quietly listened to them talking. In the silence, she sensitively felt that Bai An seemed to have some hostility towards her. However, when she looked over, she saw that this cousin was looking at her with a complex and indistinguishable expression. Seeing this, she smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, as if spring had arrived and flowers were blooming, with a gentle breeze brushing against her face.

  Bai An felt a moment of awkwardness due to his cousin's eyes that seemed as pure as a stream.

  Then everyone said a few more words of mutual concern and parted ways.

  The cooperative thing has been settled, now it's time to go buy medicine.

  An already had an idea and led everyone to the pharmacy, preparing to grab a few more herbs.

  As soon as he entered the pharmacy, the old doctor's eyes lit up immediately.

  "Little girl, you've finally arrived. Last time, you were a great help, but then you turned around and left, making it hard for us to find you."

  The old doctor hastily walked up to An Yan's side, stroking his white beard, and began to smile slyly as he scolded An Yan.

  Bai Ping and Liu who followed closely behind were perplexed by the old doctor's words.

  She blushed and smiled hastily, saying: "The old doctor's words have really embarrassed me."

  The old man looked at An with a gentle smile, his humble and polite demeanor made him more and more satisfied as he watched. He slowed down his voice and said: "That day, the young lady's method of relieving headaches was very effective. However, after that, I wanted to thank her but couldn't find her anywhere. For this reason, does the young master have something or a message for me to pass on to the young lady?"

  She had a puzzled expression on her face. That day she just did it casually, thinking that others would also forget about it in an instant, who would have thought that today this move would still appear.

  The old man looked at An Xun and said: "Little girl, you have to wait a bit, I'll go get something."

  After finishing speaking, the old doctor turned around and went to the back hall. Before long, he brought out a jade pendant in his hand.

  The jade pendant is crystal clear and emerald green, with a lustrous sheen. At just one glance, even An Yan, who didn't understand jade, knew that this piece was extremely valuable.

  The old doctor walked over, handed the jade pendant to An Yan, and smiled: "This time, young lady, you have done a good deed, and the person you saved is not an ordinary person. This jade pendant was left by that young master for me to give to you. That young master said that if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Qingcheng to find him."

  "Who is that young master?"

  She had originally wanted to refuse, after all, she thought she hadn't done anything and couldn't accept such a grand gift. But thinking again, it was as if fate had led her to ask this question. Now that she was here, although the Bai family treated her with sincerity, she still felt like a floating water lily, without any sense of security in this ancient imperial system where hierarchy was strict and power was paramount. If there could be someone with great abilities, it might not necessarily become a lifesaving straw in desperate times.

  Upon hearing An Yan's question, the old doctor immediately regained his spirit and smiled as he said: "Young lady, you've asked a great question. Young lady, do you know that besides having an Upper Bamboo Master, what else makes the Xin Zhu Academy famous?"

  "A Tanhuarang came out, Tanhuarang is the name of Mr. Moshangzhu, who came from Qingcheng to Xinzhu Academy to study."

  Wait, Qingcheng...

  The words in her mind quickly associated, and her eyes suddenly widened, "Is that young man the Top Scholar?"

  "It was Li Yuzhu, the champion of the Xinzhu Academy."
