The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 138: No One in My Heart

“Find your place in the pharmaceutical department.”

Hua Changxi kept thinking about this question on the way back to the hospital.

As Gu Xing said, the Medical Bureau has a complete organizational structure. The director and other officials in charge of the operation of the Medical Bureau are all arranged by the court. The pharmacists and doctors in the Jiujie Pharmacy are either experienced and knowledgeable in medical skills, or people with various backgrounds.

Even the persons in charge of the Disciple Hall, Apprentice Hall, and Miscellaneous Affairs Hall all have backers.

Where could she place herself in this situation?
She certainly didn't want to rely on others and find a master for herself, but if she didn't follow the rules of the Medical Bureau, how could she gain status?

“Become famous.”

Not to mention, Gu Xing's reminder was really the most suitable for her.

It was not difficult for her to become famous in the Medical Department. As long as she found the Buddhist beads bracelet and bound the wooden sign to the Qihuang Hall, the real Qihuang Hall would be revealed. And she was the only one who could teach in the nine Qihuang Halls in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Becoming famous was a piece of cake.

But the Buddhist beads bracelet was lost in Niutou Mountain, and we have to go down to Jiuyou to find it. This is not something that can be done in a short time.

Hua Changxi let out a breath. The director’s two apprentices were going to teach at the No. 6 Qihuang Hall, and she couldn’t stop them.

Soon, she returned to the yard, packed up her things, left the Medical Department, and went directly to the Shennong Medicine Shop in Feng'anfang.

The Green Bull Demon has been helping Hua Changxi cultivate the land in the Sumeru Pearl for more than a month. It seems like a good time to release it and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Aniu and Pu Cao.

It turns out that the Green Bull Demon is a really good farmer. He reclaimed and cultivated the idle wasteland in the space, and the whole space suddenly became prosperous.

Hua Changxi stayed in the medicine shop for one night, during which time he gave some advice to Pu Cao on cultivation and alchemy, and also asked about Aniu's progress in body training.

Because Pu Cao has to practice, make pills, and manage the medicine shop, he is still a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

However, Aniu's progress in body training was much faster. He had already started practicing the third chapter of "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" - bone training.

Hua Changxi tested Aniu's fighting ability and found that his current strength was fully capable of fighting against a Jindan realm cultivator.

"Aniu, I want to sell elixirs in a while. I was worried about the safety of the medicine shop, but now that you have such strength, I feel relieved."

Aniu smiled shyly, feeling happy that he could help Hua Changxi and the pharmacy.

After a night passed and the sky brightened, Hua Changxi, Pu Cao and Aniu had breakfast and then returned to the Hua family.

"Hey, Jiu Niang is back."

There were a lot of gifts piled up in the Hua family's yard, more than what they received during the Chinese New Year. When Hua Changxi came back, Old Mrs. Hua was sorting them out with her three daughters-in-law and several granddaughters.

"Grandma, mother, second aunt, fourth aunt."

Seeing Hua Changxi coming back, Yao immediately smiled. Seeing that her daughter didn't notice her sister-in-law, she quickly reminded her, "Your third aunt and her family are here, why don't you call them?"

Hua Changxi looked at the woman standing beside Old Madam Hua and greeted her with a smile: "Third Aunt."

Hua Sangu smiled and looked at Hua Changxi: "After Jiu Niang came of age, she has grown up completely and is even more beautiful now." As she said this, she pulled Yao.

"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky to have such a daughter. I think it won't be long before the door of the Hua family will be trampled by people who come to propose marriage."

Yao smiled modestly and said, "Nine Lady's temper has caused me and your eldest brother a lot of headaches. If I can successfully marry her off in the future, I will be very grateful."

Hua Sangu immediately disagreed: "I just like Jiuniang's personality. If the Shen family could marry a daughter-in-law like this, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Mrs. Yao's face froze, and even Old Lady Hua, who was sorting the gifts, stopped what she was doing.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Hua Sangu realized that she had been too blunt, and quickly added, "Jiu Niang is very lucky, and she will definitely marry into a blessed family in the future."

The smile on Yao's face came back to life, but she just nodded in response and quickly changed the topic of finding a husband for Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi stood aside, watching her mother's reaction, and felt like laughing.

When Yao saw this, she glared at her. Her daughter showed no shyness at all when someone mentioned marriage to her in front of her. She even looked like she was enjoying the fun. She was puzzled as to how she had given birth to such a unique daughter.

At this time, Hua Dalang walked out of the main room, followed by Hua Sanlang, Hua Liulang, two cousins ​​of Hua Sangu, and two young men she did not know.

"Jiuniang is back."

Hua Changxi was surprised when he saw Hua Dalang: "Brother, didn't father say you were out of town on business? When did you come back?"

Hua Dalang: "I will be back in Beijing in July." He smiled and said, "You are the busiest among all the brothers and sisters in the family. I have been back for so long, but this is the first time I see you back home."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi laughed: "Brother, are you blaming me?"

When Hua Liulang saw Hua Changxi's reaction, he quickly walked over to her side and said, "Big brother is thinking about you." Then, he told her with a smile, "Nineth Sister, Big brother is getting engaged."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi showed surprise on his face, then asked with a happy smile: "Really? Whose daughter is she?"

Hua Liulang was about to explain the matter in detail when he was interrupted by Hua Dalang: "Jiu Niang hasn't entered the house to greet grandfather, Uncle Mingzhe, and Third Uncle yet." As he said that, he looked at the two young men beside him.

"Oh, by the way, these are Uncle Mingzhe's elder brother Chen and third brother Tao."

Hua Changxi greeted the two of them with a smile, but was thinking in his heart that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Tai actually asked his eldest son and two grandsons to come to their house to celebrate the festival. This intention to show goodwill was too obvious.

It seems that something must have happened at home during this period of time that she didn't know about.

Hua Changxi entered the main hall, and Hua Dalang and his group followed him in.

Old Master Hua sat in the main seat, with Hua Mingzhe and Uncle Shen sitting on his left, and Hua Minghe, Second Uncle Hua, and Fourth Uncle Hua sitting on his right.

Hua Changxi bowed and greeted each of these people.

Mr. Hua: "Why did you come back only today?" Hua Changxi glanced at the old man and smiled, "I have something to do."

Hua Mingzhe looked at Hua Changxi and asked with a smile: "I heard from my Wanyue that you are not attending classes in the errand hall anymore, so what are you busy with on weekdays?"

Hua Changxi said perfunctorily: "It's just busy work."

After hearing this, Mr. Hua said, "If you don't have a job in the Medical Department, come back home. You like to make pills, so you run a medicine shop at home. Business is pretty good now, and we are preparing to hire people."

Hua Changxi looked surprised: "Really? Your family's pharmacy business is so good that you are planning to hire people?" As he said that, he looked at Hua Sanlang.

Hua Sanlang nodded: "The pills we sell are very popular."

Hua Changxi: "That's great, but I won't come back to cause trouble since there are so many people at home."

Mr. Hua frowned and said, "You have nothing to do in the errand hall, don't you? If you come home, you can help your family and your ability in alchemy will not be wasted."

Hua Changxi was a little annoyed: "Grandfather, who told you that I have nothing to do in the errand hall?"

Seeing Grandpa Hua glance at Hua Mingzhe, Hua Changxi immediately looked over.

Seeing this, Hua Mingzhe smiled and explained, "Wanyue said that you haven't been attending classes during this period, and you just wander around the errand hall every day. Could she be wrong?"

Hua Changxi looked at him and asked bluntly, "Uncle, are you sending someone to monitor me?"

Seeing her reaction, Hua Mingzhe's face froze, and Old Man Hua frowned.

Hua Dalang said unhappily, "Jiu Niang, what's your attitude? Why don't you apologize to your uncle?"

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Dalang expressionlessly without saying a word.

Hua Minghe looked at Hua Dalang and said with dissatisfaction: "Dalang, if you have anything to say, please tell Jiu Niang."

Hua Mingzhe had long known about Hua Changxi's personality from his parents, so he took the initiative to smooth things over with a smile: "I am a little abrupt, but Jiu Niang, I have to explain that Wanyue didn't want to spy on you, she just admired you so much that she couldn't help but pay more attention to you."

"After Wanyue returned home, she always told her family that you were a great doctor and knowledgeable, and that she benefited a lot from your lectures every time."

Hua Changxi didn't want to make everyone in a bad mood during the holiday, so he smiled as a response to Hua Mingzhe, but did not respond to him.

Seeing this, Hua Mingzhe said nothing else.

But Mr. Hua spoke up: "You have the leisure to teach outsiders in the errand hall, why can't you go home and help your family?"

Hearing this, Hua Changxi was really a little impatient: "Grandfather, if I teach others in the Medical Department, I will achieve success for myself, but if I go home to help, it will be the Hua family that will achieve success. Of course I will choose to achieve success for myself."

When Hua Dalang heard this, he couldn't help but speak out again: "Jiu Niang, how could you think like this? The Hua family gave birth to you and raised you, and you don't think about giving back. Aren't you too selfish?"

Hua Changxi laughed angrily: "Didn't I repay my family?" Then he looked at Grandpa Hua and Hua Minghe, "Grandfather, Dad, didn't I repay my family?"

Mr. Hua was very angry at the moment. He was irritated that Hua Changxi had started a scene in front of his son-in-law and outsiders: "How can a family care about everything?"

Hearing this, Hua Changxi didn't want to say anything anymore and turned around and left the room.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Hua was so angry that he said to Hua Minghe: "This is the good daughter you raised."

Hua Minghe said helplessly: "Dad, let Jiu Niang do whatever she wants to do. She doesn't interfere with anything at home."

Mr. Hua: "But she is from the Hua family, and our family should work together."

Hua Dalang followed him out of the house, caught up with Hua Changxi, and followed her into the house: "Nine Mother, there is nothing wrong with you at home, right? Even if your grandparents disciplined you a little too harshly, it wouldn't make you hate them, right?"

Hua Changxi frowned: "What are you talking about? When did I hate my family?"

Hua Dalang: "But you would rather trust outsiders than your family, isn't that true?"

Hua Changxi: "I don't distrust my family."

Hua Dalang: "Really? Then why didn't you tell your family that you opened a medicine shop outside? Why didn't you tell your family that you have a fire spirit mine outside? You would rather find outsiders to cooperate with you than let your family take over. Do you trust your family?"

Hua Changxi looked at him: "You're investigating me?"

Hua Dalang: "I didn't expect my sister to be so powerful that she was even on the Jinyiwei's surveillance list. If I hadn't gone to the Jinyiwei to do my job, we don't know how long you would have kept it a secret."

"Jiu Niang, do you really consider us as your family? Are we so untrustworthy?"

Hua Changxi: "I said, it's not that I don't trust you, I just don't want to have too many interests involved with you."

Hua Dalang laughed angrily: "If there is no connection between family members, are they still family members?"

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Dalang and said, "Brother, I will never ask about your affairs outside, and I ask you to respect me. This is my principle of action."

Hua Dalang snorted, "Are you afraid that your family will take advantage of you?"

Hua Changxi looked at the storage bag on Hua Dalang's waist. It was the one she gave to her father on his birthday. "You guys really took it."

Hua Dalang was furious and looked at Hua Changxi deeply: "Jiu Niang, I just realized today that you are such a cold-hearted person. Putting aside the gains and losses, don't you have any feelings for your family?"

"Our family lacks cultivation resources, and you could clearly help us, but you turned a blind eye."

"Our family has no background. When it comes to cultivation, we lag behind step by step. You don't care about us at all, so you can watch us being left behind so calmly."

“What does it mean to be left behind?”

"It means that our family had a clear opportunity to prosper, but missed it. It means that in this ever-changing situation, we are likely to be controlled by others, or even lose our lives."

"If you had cared about us, you wouldn't have watched us fall into danger and passivity."
