The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 107 The inheritance of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Xinliang in the sun
Kang Duanchenxiang smiled gently, and that smile was like the sunshine in early spring, with a hint of mischief.

She leaned forward slightly, like an elegant cat, and in the quiet afternoon sunshine, she whispered to Su Chenjin in her soft and delicate voice: "Well, okay, classmate Xiaojin. I noticed recently that you seem to be a little different."

Su Chenjin looked up and met her eyes as deep as lake water. She remembered that those eyes were once the stars she longed for the most.

Kang Duanchenxiang continued, "I noticed that you didn't seem to go to the library. I remember you once said that the library was your second home. Is something bothering you? Or are you still bothered by what happened last time?"

Su Chenjin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head in embarrassment.

It turned out that Kang Duan Chenxiang had been paying attention to him.

She slowly raised her head and met Kang Duanchenxiang's honest gaze.

Kang Duanchenxiang looked at Su Chenjin's tense expression and knew that she was still brooding over it.

She sighed softly, then walked forward and said to her softly, "Xiao Jin, you know what? I didn't really want to take over your book that time. I just wanted to tease you."

Her words were like the blooming spring flowers, relaxing Xiaojin's tense nerves a little.

Kang Duanchenxiang looked at her and continued, "That ancient book is your treasure and looks very important. How could I just ask for it so easily? It's just that we had only known each other for a short time at that time, and I thought that making a joke like this would bring us closer, but I didn't expect that you would mind it so much."

When Su Chenjin heard this, a sharp light suddenly flashed across his eyes, which had originally been as calm as water.

She raised her chin slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly, trying to see clearly into the other person's heart.

There was a bit of scrutiny and inquiry in those bright eyes.

She took a step forward slowly and spoke softly, with a hint of coldness and determination in her voice: "Really? Then why did you stop me here today? What important thing do you want to tell me?"

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the other person's face, as if she wanted to read more information from every subtle expression of the other person.

Kang Duanchenxiang seemed a little uncomfortable under her gaze, his eyes flickering, and hesitant whether to tell the truth.

Finally, Kang Duanchenxiang nodded slightly. Her face looked particularly solemn under the sunlight, as if shrouded in an indescribable cloud.

She spoke softly, and every word carried a heavy weight, falling into the air and causing a slight vibration.

"It is indeed something important." She said slowly, and every word she mentioned contained an importance that could not be underestimated.

She opened her lips slightly, and the sound seemed to come from an ancient bell, carrying a heavy sense of history.

"I was flipping through the Tang King Pharmacopoeia we got last time in the dead of night, and suddenly, I found some strange marks on the protective layer of the book."

At this point, her voice trembled slightly, as if shrouded in some unspeakable fear, and her words revealed an indescribable tension, as if this matter was related to some important secret.

“That mark may seem insignificant, but I feel like it’s hiding some secret.”

Her voice was deep and powerful, like the sound of a muffled drum echoing through the night air.

Her eyes were fixed on Su Chenjin, as if waiting for her reaction and seeking her understanding.

Kang Duan Chenxiang took a deep breath and continued, "I know the value of this ancient book, and I am afraid that my ignorance will cause damage to it. Therefore, I decided to return it to you immediately. I think only you can solve this mystery and protect this Tang King Pharmacopoeia."

Her words were full of worry and anxiety, as if this incident had already caused a storm in the depths of her heart.

Su Chenjin's eyes slightly stern, and a layer of solemnity covered her brows. She stared at Chen Xiang in front of her, and her voice was low but unquestionable: "There is indeed a problem with the protective layer of the ancient book. You claim that this matter has nothing to do with you, so I choose to believe you for the time being. But I must tell you that this is by no means a trivial matter."

She recalled the scene when she was flipping through the ancient book before. At that time, the ancient book was as calm as before and did not show any abnormality.

However, just after Kang Duan Chenxiang returned the ancient book, problems suddenly occurred with the protective layer of the ancient book, which made her very puzzled.

"Student Chen Xiang, the protective layer of that ancient book has been destroyed by someone, using the destructive power of ice, jade and fire. I have never seen this kind of power in other books, but I heard that this is the concealment technique of the Chiyou family. Can you explain what is going on?"

There was a hint of anxiety in Su Chenjin's tone, and she hoped that Chen Xiang could give a reasonable explanation.

Kang Duanchenxiang's face flushed slightly. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the surging emotions in her heart.

Her fingers were tightly clenched around the corner of her clothes, her fingertips were slightly white, revealing her inner nervousness and anxiety.

However, when she opened her eyes again, those bright eyes had regained their calm, like a clear lake, reflecting a firm light.

She adjusted her breathing gently, her voice trembling a little, but more of a determination and firmness: "Xiao Jin," she spoke, each word sounding like a carefully polished gem.

"I am the last member of the Chiyou family. The name of this family may be just a distant and unfamiliar legend to you, and may even carry some prejudice and misunderstanding from the world. But to me, it is my root, my source, and my everything."

She paused, as if recalling memories that were buried by time.

Then she continued, "I know that the Chiyou family was once portrayed as a symbol of evil and cruelty throughout history. But those are one-sided and distorted facts. Our family was once the guardian of this land, and our blood runs with a deep attachment to and desire to protect this land."

Her voice, originally as gentle as a stream, gradually gathered into a turbulent river at this moment, majestic and passionate.

It was a power that surged from deep within her heart, like the undercurrent before a volcano erupts, supporting her and allowing her to bravely face the shadows that once followed her everywhere, to lift the fog that shrouded her self, and to reveal her true self.

"I came here today just to explain this misunderstanding to you." Her voice revealed an unprecedented firmness and determination, as if the moment she said this, she was ready to face everything.

"I want you to see that the real us is not what the legend says."

She hoped that Su Chenjin could put aside his preconceived prejudices and misunderstandings and truly understand her and her family.

She began to recount in detail the family's events in the past three years, the past glory and honor, and the unknown hardships and efforts.

Her voice is like the melodious sound of a piano, sometimes passionate, sometimes low, making people seem to be able to feel the magnificence of history firsthand.

As she spoke, the air around her became solemn and a special atmosphere quietly spread.

Kang Duanchenxiang's voice seems to have magical power, able to penetrate people's hearts and make people unconsciously immersed in it while listening.

Finally, when her story came to an end, the whole space fell into a brief silence.

It was a silent shock, a deep emotion that forced people to re-examine their own prejudices and misunderstandings after a brief silence.

Su Chenjin lowered his head gently, and his eyes, bright as stars, fell quietly on Kang Duanchenxiang. There was an inexplicable tension in the air, as if the two souls were having a silent contest at this moment.

She nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice revealed an unquestionable seriousness: "Student Chenxiang, I know there may be some misunderstandings in our previous relationship, but I believe that handling it this way is undoubtedly the best choice for both of us. I also don't want unnecessary misunderstandings and estrangements between us for any reason. After all, we live in the same dormitory and see each other every day. Harmonious coexistence can allow us to spend this wonderful campus life together."

She stood there, as tall and straight as a pine tree. She spoke slowly, her voice revealing determination and pride: "I, the heir of the Su family, shoulder the mission of a medical skill that has been passed down for hundreds of years. My ancestors were all famous doctors. Their names, like bright stars, shine in the sky of medicine."

She gently stroked the yellowed medical book in her hand, with a fiery light flashing in her eyes: "These medical books are more than just a combination of paper and ink to me. They are more like precious heirlooms, containing the wisdom and hard work of our ancestors. Every time I open these pages, I can feel the medical spirit passed down from ancient times. They have taken root in my heart and become a part of my life."

She paused and looked at Kang Duanchenxiang softly: "If you are interested in medicine and want to learn more about medical knowledge, I have a lot of medical books for you to borrow. We can explore the mysteries of medicine together and make progress together. Of course, if you need support in other areas, I may not be able to help you directly. After all, the monographs I have collected here are all about medicine. I am afraid I can't help with books in other fields."

Kang Duanchenxiang stood there, facing Su Chenjin's face which was full of sincerity and kindness.

Kang Duanchenxiang has always maintained an inexplicable sense of distance from Su Chenjin, as if there was an invisible barrier between the two of them, isolating her in a lonely world.

But at this moment, the barrier in her heart seemed to begin to slowly melt.

For Kang Duanchenxiang, this honesty was hard-earned.

As a member of the Chiyou family, she shoulders heavy responsibilities and missions, but she also longs for friends with whom she can share her joys and sorrows.

just
Kang Duanchenxiang took a deep breath, smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Thank you, Xiaojin. I will remember your words."

The afternoon sun slanted into the classroom, mottled light and shadows danced on the desks, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.

Kang Duanchenxiang sat quietly in the corner, flipping through the ancient history textbook in his hand, but his mind was a little absent-minded.

She originally thought that this elective course was just a way to kill time, but unexpectedly, the class at two o'clock in the afternoon was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves in her heart.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by a steady sound of footsteps, an old professor walked into the classroom. He was wearing a simple Chinese gown, and his silver hair shone softly in the sun.

Although his steps were slow, they revealed a sense of majesty.

Kang Duanchenxiang couldn't help but look up and look at the old professor curiously.

The old professor walked to the podium, patted the lecture notes in his hand gently, and then began his lecture.

Every word he said seemed to carry the dust of history, blowing at us in a short moment.

He told the story slowly and leisurely, describing the shining stars in the long history of China - those famous inherited families.

In his narration, those ancient families seemed to come alive; their glory and decline, honor and pain, all became vivid in the old professor's mouth.

Kang Duan Chenxiang was fascinated by the story. She seemed to be in that turbulent era, experiencing those thrilling moments with those heroes.

The old professor's words were like a key that opened a door in Kang Duanchenxiang's heart.

She began to re-examine her understanding of the country and its history.

She suddenly realized that those inherited families were not just names and stories, they were also the epitome of an era and an important part of Chinese history and culture.

Her world is left with only herself and her innermost thoughts.

Her eyes looked out the window deeply and distantly, as if penetrating the boundaries of space and drifting towards the mysterious Su family, the Duke's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.

In Kang Duan Chenxiang's imagination, the Su family is an ancient family shrouded in heavy history and mystery.

She had heard that this family possessed endless treasures and unfathomable wisdom, and was a rare existence in the world.

Her heart was filled with curiosity and yearning for the Su family, which made her irresistible.

Whenever night falls, Kang Duanchenxiang would sit alone in the corner of the old house of the Chiyou family, quietly thinking about the legends of the Su family. She imagined how the people in that family stood firm in the torrent of history and how they guarded those precious treasures and wisdom.

Her thoughts were like surging waves, constantly stirring and bringing her into that mysterious world.

However, Kang Duan Chenxiang also knew that it was not easy to uncover the mystery of the Su family. She needed to put in more effort and wisdom to explore the secrets of that family.

She closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift to that dusty corner, which was a secret paradise in her youth - a library forgotten by time.

At that time, she was always curious about the unknown world, and when no one was around, she would sneak into the room full of ancient atmosphere.

In the library, the dim light shines on the yellowed papers. The mottled handwriting is like fragments of history, and every page exudes the fragrance of time.

She carefully flipped through the ancient books of the Chiyou family, searching for a dusty memory.

Although those words have gone through thousands of years, they are still clearly legible. Between the lines of the ancient books, she read about the glorious history of the Su family of the Duke's Mansion. Those heroic deeds and legendary stories made her heart surge.

She seemed to see the Su family ancestors galloping on the battlefield and making great achievements, and felt their indomitable will and courageous spirit.

However, what shocked her even more was the determination and persistence in bloodline inheritance revealed in the ancient books.

It is a belief that runs deep in the bones, and it is an adherence to family honor and bloodline dignity.

Those words, like invisible bonds, closely connected her to that mysterious world and made her feel her blood connection with the Su family.

Whenever she thought back to that time, an inexplicable excitement and yearning would surge in her heart.

The words in those ancient books seemed to ignite a fire in her heart, burning her dreams and pursuits.

Kang Duan Chenxiang sat quietly in front of the window.

Her gaze passed through the transparent barrier and reached the distant and deep sky.

The sky was like a huge blue canvas, with a few white clouds casually scattered on it. Each of them seemed to carry endless dreams and hopes, and was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the blue sky.

At this moment, an inexplicable impulse suddenly surged in Kang Duanchenxiang's heart. It was a strong and complex emotion, as if an invisible hand was gently plucking her heartstrings, making her heartbeat faster and her breathing become rapid.

She suddenly felt like she was trapped in a small space and longed to break free and find a wider world.

She glanced at the mobile phone lying quietly on the table. The small and exquisite device was like a magic wand in her hand, able to take her through time and space and reach that distant world.

She reached out and gently picked up the phone. The cool touch instantly sobered her up.

Her slender fingers danced lightly on the keyboard as she carefully edited the text message. Every word was like a carefully selected gem, carrying her emotions and expectations.

Finally, she looked at the words on the screen with satisfaction: "Xiao Jin, shall we have dinner together tonight!?"

Although this sentence is simple, it contains thousands of words.

She imagined Su Chenjin's expression when he received this text message. Was he wide-eyed in surprise, or frowning in confusion?

Should I agree readily or refuse politely?

She pressed the send button gently, and then waited nervously for the reply. She felt her heartbeat speed up, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She held her phone tightly, afraid of missing any details.

Time became unusually slow at this moment, and every second seemed to be stretched.

Kang Duanchenxiang checked his phone from time to time, waiting for the reply.

Kang Duanchenxiang's mood became more and more nervous as time went by, as if she was waiting for the results of an important exam.

Su Chenjin was busy with the work at hand. Suddenly, the screen of his mobile phone lit up and a text message from Kang Duanchenxiang jumped into his eyes.

She glanced at it and saw that the text was short and direct, and seemed a little urgent.

Su Chenjin's heart moved, and he quickly read the content of the text message, frowning slightly, as if thinking about how to respond.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the classroom.

Su Chenjin picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID showed Chen Fangyu's number.

She couldn't help but feel confused. Dean Chen didn't often call her. Why did he call her suddenly this time? Could there be something important?

"Hello, President Chen, hello!" Su Chenjin answered the phone politely.

"Hello, Xiaojin!" Chen Fangyu's voice sounded very friendly. "Let's have dinner together tonight! I want to talk to you about something."

Su Chenjin's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the Jiangnan medicinal herb Xingmiao that he had eaten in the morning.

She couldn't help but wonder whether what Dean Chen wanted to say was related to Jiangnan medicinal materials?

"President Chen, do you have anything important to announce today?" Su Chenjin asked tentatively.

Chen Fangyu laughed, as if she had noticed something with her keen sense. "Haha, I can't hide anything from you! Yes, I do have something important to tell you tonight. How about it, are you free tonight?"

Su Chenjin thought for a moment and felt that since Dean Chen personally invited her and it sounded like it was related to the new progress of the cooperation with Jiangnan Medicinal Materials, she felt that she should attend the dinner. So she replied, "Okay, I will be there on time in the evening."

The moment she hung up the phone, Su Chenjin's heartbeat seemed to jump with the rhythm. She quickly opened her phone, her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and sent a text message to Kang Duanchenxiang: "There is a company dinner tonight, I can't have dinner with you, sorry!"

Kang Duanchenxiang was sitting in the corner of the classroom. The sunlight from the window shone on her long hair, casting a golden halo.

She was holding a cup of cooling latte in her hand and was immersed in the world of books.

When the vibration of her cell phone broke the silence, she slowly raised her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

When Kang Duanchenxiang opened the text message and saw Su Chenjin's message, he was stunned at first, and then his face gradually turned pale.

Her fingers tightly grasped the phone, trying to find more information from it.

An inexplicable sense of loss welled up in her heart, as if the beauty she had expected was suddenly shattered, leaving a blank.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart.

The afternoon sunlight was like carefully ground golden sand, each ray of which contained warmth and vitality. It gently fell on Gu Xinliang's body, making his already handsome and extraordinary outline even more three-dimensional and vivid.

He stood on the wide lawn, like a calm prince, waiting for the call of his destiny.

He wore a simple white shirt, made of the lightest and softest silk.

The neckline is slightly open, revealing an unruly and casual temperament.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling onto his face like dancing golden spots, adding a touch of mystery and depth to his facial features.

He tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes, as if enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

The sunlight gently caressed his cheek, like a lover's hand, gentle and delicate.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, which seemed to contain endless satisfaction and expectation, making people want to explore his inner world.

The surrounding scenery appears more dazzling under the sunlight, like a gorgeous picture carefully painted by nature.

The verdant lawn is like an endless green carpet, soft and elastic, enough to swallow up all fatigue and worries.

In this ocean of green, every blade of grass sparkles with glittering light, like the elves of nature dancing happily.

The mountains in the distance appear even more majestic and tall against the backdrop of the blue sky. They are one after another, like the backbone of the earth, carrying the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history.

The sunlight shines on the top of the mountain, covering it with a golden coat, making it look more mysterious and solemn.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants. The fragrance was fresh and natural, a gift from nature. It made people unable to help but take a deep breath, cleansing their souls and making them feel relaxed and happy.

Su Chenjin slowly walked out from the light and shadow in the distance.

The sunlight playfully filtered through the gaps in the treetops, like fine gold powder, gently falling on her tall and slender figure.

She was like the darling of light, every step she took was accompanied by the dance of light and shadow, the picture was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her steps are firm and calm, like a beautiful poem, flowing slowly in the long river of time.

Her figure cast a long shadow in the sunlight, which swayed with her steps.

At that special moment, Su Chenjin just raised her head, and her originally calm eyes suddenly became lively.

At the same time, Gu Xinliang, who was walking towards him, happened to raise his eyes, and their eyes met unexpectedly, like two meteors accidentally meeting in the vast universe.

Everything around seemed to disappear. The originally noisy environment became unusually quiet, and even the air seemed to freeze.

The noise, the sound of the wind, and the rustling of leaves gradually faded away, leaving only the two of them and their gazes intertwined in the air.

A hint of surprise suddenly appeared in Su Chenjin's eyes, like a brilliant firework, breaking through the silent night sky. The light was dazzling and short-lived, but it was enough to shock people's hearts.

The surprising light shone in the sunlight, like a star falling from the sky, lighting up the silent night.

That stunning moment was reflected in Su Chenjin's pupils, as if a beautiful painting was slowly unfolding before his eyes.

Her heartbeat quickened, as if she was being pulled by the attraction of the universe's first earth, making her unable to look away.

And opposite her, Gu Xinliang's eyes were also filled with complex light.
