Chapter 237: Almost stocked

Shi Xiaoliu and his party went to the mountain to collect herbs every day. They worked hard for many days and the harvest was naturally full.

So that one day when they returned to the city, the city gate official asked them if they had picked so many medicinal herbs, did they use them for themselves or sell them?

Brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu replied: "We use it ourselves, and any excess will be sent to the Taoist temple outside the city."

The teenagers said: "After we dry the herbs, we will Sell ​​it to the drug store.”

Therefore, the city gate official reminded them: "Ask the owner of the drug store if you need to pay taxes yourself."

The teenagers said they would definitely ask the owner of the drug store and thanked the city gate official for the reminder. .

After the teenagers went home and talked to their families, the family immediately asked them to talk to the owner of the drug store.

Since the city gate officials have reminded this matter, they must give a clear explanation.

After discussion, the three teenagers decided to ask Xiaoyingzi’s brother for his opinion.

Finally, the four of them went to the drug store and met with the owner, who said that the medicinal herbs had never been sold to other drug stores.

After hearing this, the boss said with a smile: "You don't come to ask me about this matter this time. I am also going to have someone tell you.

The quantity of herbs you sell to the store is large. After that, we will pay the tax to the government on your behalf without you having to pay any more tax money."

The boss asked Brother Xiao Yingzi again with concern: "This little brother is a bit unfamiliar. Do you want to collect herbs with them?"

Brother Xiaoyingzi looked at the three young men and said with a smile: "As long as the three brothers don't dislike me, I want to collect herbs with them. .”

The three young men smiled at him and said to the owner of the medicine shop: "Master, he will collect herbs with us in the future."

On the morning of the imperial examination, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came back. .

After noon, Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng also came back.

On the second day, a group of them went to the teahouse with the best location. In the upstairs box, Shi Zelan stood by the window and saw the excited expressions on the faces of the people downstairs.

The window in the room on her left was open, and Shi Zelan heard a little girl laughing and saying, "Our family has the best box location this time. The champion parade passes downstairs, and we can throw bouquets." ”

Shi Zelan quickly took off the hairpin she was wearing and stuffed it into her sleeves. She didn't want to be affected by others, so she threw the hairpin down directly.

Zhenzheng Shanzheng saw Shi Zelan’s little move. He smiled and asked Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, there is a flower seller downstairs. Do you want to go down and buy a few bouquets of flowers?"

"No."

Shi Zelan firmly refused, so Shanzheng just smiled.

“The list is released.”

There was a burst of noise not far away, and then everyone was boiling upstairs and downstairs.

Shi Zelan finally couldn't help but poke his head out, looked around, and then lowered his head to look.

I missed the little girl on the left looking at her with disdain, but the little girl on the right was so excited that she clasped her hands together.

Time became so slow at this moment, and both upstairs and downstairs became quiet at the same time.

It seemed like a long time passed, and finally I heard the official shouting: "The number one scholar is parading through the streets."

Shi Zelan grabbed the window frame with excited hands, turned around and said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "You two, come here quickly."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu came over and stood beside Shi Zelan, and Shi Zelan turned to the elders again They said: "Master, uncles, uncles, why don't you come and take a look?"

At her reminder, the four elders also had to go to the window and look down.

"The number one scholar is parading in the street, and the idlers get out of the way." Shi Zelan said to Shi Xiaoliu with crooked eyebrows: "Brother Xiaoliu, I'm so nervous right now."

Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Apart from knowing the brother of that family, you don't know anyone else."

"It's true that you don't know anyone else, but after all, the number one scholar is different from others."
< br>Shi Zelan imagined the young man riding a tall horse, with a proud expression on his face, from far to near, and then she saw the middle-aged number one scholar.

After Shi Zelan was stunned, he quickly looked behind him. The second person looked like a young man, but his face was too pale. He sat on the horse tremblingly.

Shi Zelan looked at the military attache beside him, and then looked at the third one. This young man looked graceful and elegant, and he looked a bit ostentatious while riding a horse.

"Fortunately, Tanhua looks very pleasing to the eye."

The little girl on the left couldn't help but say something, and then she threw a bouquet of flowers directly in her hand, hitting the beautiful boy with no time to dodge, and almost fell under the horse. .

“Pfft.”

A mocking voice came from the right, Shi Zelan retracted his head and sat back in his seat.

She was a little disappointed and said: "I'm not very lucky. The second overall pick this year is talented, but his appearance is a bit worse."

Master Decheng looked at Shi Zelan and shook his finger: "Then will you come to see the number one scholar parade next time?"

Shi Zelan thought for a moment: "Let's see if the opportunity comes. If you encounter it, just stay and take a look. "

Master Qiyuan raised his tea cup to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng at this time: "We will leave the capital tomorrow. See you in the south."

Xia Yu saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan facing each other. With a look of surprise on his face, he whispered to them: "You should come to the south quickly.

I heard that there are many talented people and beautiful women in the south, and the scenery is particularly beautiful."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded, and Shi Xiaoliu said: "There is no rush, we will follow Master's arrangements."

On the morning of the second day, Master Decheng and his party sent Master Qiyuan and his party out of the city gate. , outside the city, watching them go further and further away.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were a little reluctant to leave Xia Yu. After all, the three of them learned a lot from each other when they lived in the same hospital.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng exchanged glances. Master Decheng asked Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "We will continue to live in Taoist temples for a few days. What about you?"

Shi Xiaoliu whispered Asked Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, do we want to go to the Taoist temple to stay for a few days?"

Shi Zelan thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I don't want to live in a Taoist temple. There are many people coming and going in the Taoist temple, which is not suitable for me to practice swordsmanship when I want to."

Shi Xiaoliu said to Master Decheng: "Master, I We won’t go to the Taoist temple to live either.

We also want to take people up the mountain to collect herbs.”

Shanzheng Zhenren smiled at the intersection and said to Shi Zelan, “Sister Lan, we will live in the Taoist temple for a while.

If you want to leave the capital, we will go back to the capital to stay for a few days.”

Shi Zelan nodded, and Master Shanzheng told her again: "Sister Lan, don't be too impatient in your cultivation.

Take your time, when the opportunity comes, everything will go smoothly."

Shi Zelan She nodded again, and then she watched Master Shanzheng and Master Decheng walk away.

Shi Xiaoliu stayed by her side and whispered: "Sister Lan, you don't want to cry, do you?"

Shi Zelan turned back and stared at him: "I'm not a little girl. Boy, I won’t cry.”

The brother and sister returned to the city, and Shi Zelan asked Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, when the Taoist herb stock is almost finished, shall we leave the capital?"
