Farming with medicine

Chapter 444 Xiao Jiu was shocked after eavesdropping

454
Bai Xinghe came over and gave Cardamom a hand, and she came back to her senses.

It was dark in front of my eyes, I couldn't see anything, and it took me a long time to recover.

"Let's go, I don't need to prepare anything." Cardamom walked ahead empty-handed, and happened to meet Xiao Jiu who came to join in the fun.

"Sister, I'm here to cheer you on."

Cardamom looked at the innocent smile on Xiaojiu's face, as if the blood and excitement of last night had been swallowed up by the darkness of last night, she nodded with a slightly relieved smile.

"You follow Mr. Bai and wait for sister below." Dougao heard that the roll call had already begun on the stage she had built. She came onto the stage from one side, all men, and she was the only woman. Standing next to her was Miracle Doctor Wang. It's Chahar.

Cardamom looked at Chahar from the corner of his eyes calmly, he was as strong as a bear, because Chahar was too tall, so Cardamom couldn't see his expression, and if he looked up, he was afraid of being spotted.

Bai Xinghe stood on the stage and took a good look at the majestic man beside Cardamom who was looking at Cardamom with lowered eyelids.

Where did this and that person come from? There was no one from the Western Regions in the previous information.

With Duang's sound of "Luo Xuan" on the stage, the first competition began.

The person who presided over this competition was from Shengjing. He took out a crushed powder from the medicine box, and put a packet in front of everyone, so that these people could deduce the medicinal materials in it.

Cardamom can be roughly distinguished from the thickness of the powder, which can be ground and not ground, so that the scope can be narrowed down, and then look at the color to roughly distinguish whether the medicinal material is a plant, and finally smell it to distinguish it.

It's a pity that these powders are all very finely ground. Cardamom wrote down 7 medicinal herbs on the paper, but judging from the taste, there should be another flavor, and she doesn't know what it is.

All contestants handed in their answer sheets, and after the referee read the content, two-thirds of them were eliminated on the spot.

Cardamom watched the eliminated people laughingly step down, these people were some barefoot doctors and some people who were in the medicine business, and the remaining third were more powerful people.

Seeing that Chahar had also passed the test, she couldn't help feeling more vigilant.

It must not be easy for a person from the Western Regions to recognize the medicinal materials from the Central Plains.

You must know that the water and soil are different, and the plants that grow are also very different, not to mention that there are very few medicinal materials from the Central Plains in the Western Regions. There are only some spices and silk trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and there is no business with medicinal materials. .

The first round is over, and the second round will be played in the afternoon.

As soon as Cardamom stepped down, he dragged Bai Xinghe back to Baekweitang to discuss matters.

"That strong man on the stage is called Chahar, can you find someone to check his details, I think this man is a bit strange."

Without Cardamom's reminder, he had already sent someone to do this.

But at noon, the people who inquired about the news didn't come back. After sending people to check, they found out that the previous guards stopped assassinating.

Bai Xinghe went to the kitchen to find cardamom.

"Things are a bit tricky. One of my hidden guards was killed. That man named Chahar is really not easy."

Beside him was a hidden guard, one of them was an elite soldier, and it was not easy to kill him. According to the person who reported him, he was killed within a quick move.

Cardamom pursed her lips and put the food on the plate, "Let's eat first, we'll see the situation in the afternoon."

"Also, I have asked people to check that the old man from Shengjing is the one who presides over this match. It can be confirmed that he has absolutely nothing to do with that Chahar."

This is strange, could it be that strong man really has such abilities.

Xiao Jiu came in from the outside while eating candied haws, and heard her sister talking to Brother Bai, so she stopped to disturb them.

"I'll keep an eye out for that man this afternoon."

Bai Xinghe paced back and forth in the room, feeling faintly uneasy, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't explain it. Could it be that our Bai family's actions were discovered?"

No, he also had a temporary idea, and he hadn't disclosed his thoughts to anyone before, so no one should know.

"This Chahar definitely didn't come after you, that's for sure." Bai Xinghe said a few words to himself, and when he smelled the aroma of the food, his mind was completely confused.

Cardamom made sweet and sour fish, and Xiaojiu's favorite candied yam. She also specially made candied hawthorn, which is Xiaojiu's favorite.

Bai Xinghe doesn't eat sweet food, but he likes sweet and sour food made with cardamom.

Seeing that he and his sister have the same eating habits, the corners of Cardamom's lips twitched slightly, "If you hadn't come from a family of officials and officials, if you hadn't been so ambitious, I really wanted to make you and Xiaojiu into a couple."

Xiaojiu, who was standing outside and eavesdropping, blushed. Is my sister making fun of her?

Xiao Jiu pretended to have just come in from the outside, put the candied haws in her hand on the table and was ready to eat.

"Are you sick? Why are you blushing? Come here and let my sister touch it." Cardamom beckoned Xiao Jiu to her side and raised her hand to touch her forehead, but she didn't feel hot. "It's too hot outside. After dinner Go to bed, take a nap at noon in the summer, what are you running around?"

"Oh, I see."

Cardamom asked Xiao Jiu with a smile in her eyes, "You look like a different girl today, so obedient."

"No way, I listen to my sister every day," Xiao Jiu lowered his head and picked up the rice, keeping his eyes on his own bowl and not daring to look away, as guilty as a thief.

After lunch, there were still two hours before the afternoon competition, Cardamom urged Xiao Jiu to go to bed.

Xiao Jiu obediently went to bed, but she didn't usually take a nap, so she wouldn't be sleepy at all, lying on the bed with her eyes open, thinking about what her sister said just now.

My sister said that if it wasn't for Brother Bai's background, she would have matched them into a couple, and the thought of it made her feel sweet.

She took out the jade pendant from her neck and looked at it. This was given by Brother Bai about five years ago, and at that time he said that he belonged to her.

Xiao Jiu blushed and counted her fingers, how old is the difference between her and Big Brother Bai?

She turned over and got off the bed, intending to ask her sister, but when she went outside the yard, she heard a truth that she couldn't believe.

Cardamom and Bai Xinghe were talking about the things that happened to their family at the end of the corridor, and mentioned Xiaojiu's mother.

"You are sure that adopting the seventh son of the Xiaojiu family will be detrimental to your family,"

"It's basically certain that the eighth girl in the brothel before was the eighth miss of that family. She tried her best to destroy our family, and I did it first after I noticed it." After speaking, Doukou fell into deep thought.

After that, she was careless, the seventh son of that family was still alive, letting go of this fish that slipped through the net caused today's situation.

She can no longer be a woman.

"This Seventh Young Master also wants revenge?"
