Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 200 Transition

Zhou Huaiyan looked at the junior sister who had already walked in front of him, smiled and handed the prescription in his hand to Chunqiu, "Junior sister, take a look, is this the prescription you want?"

Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, then after taking the blank paper from Zhou Huaiyan's hand, he looked at it seriously, what is it?Chunqiu became more and more frightened, and after reading the short few dozen words three times to confirm that the prescription was correct, he looked at Zhou Huaiyan in shock.

"Hehe, junior sister, is this too surprising?"

Zhou Huaiyan looked at Chunqiu's dazed little eyes, and made a joke casually.

It was more shocking than happy, Chunqiu still maintained a surprised expression on his face, his eyes were wide open, and he was full of complaints in his heart, this guy was intentional, Chunqiu felt more and more that his cheap senior brother was a bit dark, Especially the other party's expression of interest in looking at him made his hands itch even more. Didn't this guy deliberately want to see himself make a fool of himself?
The more Chunqiu was stunned, the brighter Zhou Huaiyan smiled, and she slowly agreed with her thoughts in her heart. There was no way, since the master left a few days ago, her senior brother has become more and more "lively", not as good as before. Depressed, more like a child, so he said so much...he did it on purpose.

Chunqiu couldn't help but be surprised, because the prescription Chunqiu held in his hand was exactly the prescription Chunqiu wanted to get the most. Do you still remember the failure of Chunqiu to make ointment before?That's right, what she held in her hand was the priceless beauty prescription.

The Zhou family once rescued the man in the palace, so they were lucky enough to see those secret prescriptions in the Imperial Hospital. They told Zhou Huaiyan about this before Spring and Autumn, but Zhou Huaiyan had a heavy heart at the time, and his focus was all in the shop. In fact, he did not pay too much attention to this matter. A few days ago, his father was looking for a book for this prescription, and there was a thin leaf of paper in a book he accidentally found. Zhou Huaiyan looked at it curiously, only to find this The prescription is actually a beauty prescription.

The things Chunqiu mentioned to him before flashed away in Zhou Huaiyan's mind, he thought it would be useless to keep this prescription, after Zhou Huaiyan told his father, he directly took it and planned to give it to Chunqiu.

"Senior brother, can this prescription be used... to try to figure it out with my junior sister, and I will definitely return it in the future" Chunqiu said, wanting to borrow the prescription, no matter what, with this prescription, it will definitely be useful for her to make ointment in the future .

"Junior Sister, Senior Brother, you have to say it first. Of course, this prescription was left by my grandfather. Although I can't guarantee its authenticity, it's okay for Junior Sister to use it for reference. But if you use it for others to use without experimenting, what's wrong with you?" It's absolutely impossible"

What Zhou Huaiyan said was a bit modest, especially the last two sentences were more like reminders.

Chunqiu has seen this prescription before, although she has not really read the ancient prescription, but she still knows a thing or two about the dispensing here, every medicinal material is related to beauty and beauty, even if it is fake, there are references for her room.

Chunqiu naturally agreed, "Senior sister naturally understands, so thank you brother."

"You and I are from the same family, you don't need to be polite." Zhou Huaiyan smiled and waved his hands.

Chunqiu folded the formula in her hand and put it in her arms with a smile, thinking that now that she has this formula, she will be more sure about the success of the research on the ointment. Spring and Autumn are good examples.

He didn't say anything, but Chunqiu was still very grateful to Zhou Huaiyan in his heart. He didn't say anything else, just said this prescription. Although the Zhou family didn't take it seriously, it was hard to buy for the female relatives of those wealthy families. Things, especially the appearance of a woman who pleases herself, which woman does not love beauty, even a little girl like Chunqiu has to groom and dress up before going out every day.

"By the way," Zhou Huaiyan said again, "Didn't you find the prescription before? At the same time, there are basic books on this subject in my father's place. Although it is a relic of my mother, it is useless to put it there. How about it? If you don’t like it, come back to the mansion with me today to get it.”

"This...would it be too much trouble for Senior Brother?" Chunqiu was a little surprised, and the words she said also implied surprise. Although she was satisfied with receiving Fang Zi, she would be very happy if she could borrow books , but... After all, this is something left by my brother and mother.Would it be impolite for her to nod and accept rashly?

Chunqiu thinks a lot. Although she really wants these books related to beauty and beauty in her heart, she still feels something is wrong intellectually, so when she talks, Chunqiu tries more.

Zhou Huaiyan looked at the junior sister who was cautious, thinking about himself, and afraid that he would be unhappy, and smiled happily, "No trouble, this matter is agreed by father, and...mother also liked books on this topic before she was alive, if no one uses it , it's a waste of my mother's things."

This matter was really not brought up by Zhou Huaiyan. On the contrary, when he learned that Zhou Huaiyan's junior sister needed these books, Zhou Mingfeng uncharacteristically gave all Xu's books over, and asked Zhou Huaiyan to hand over these books to Chunqiu.

Both of them also knew that, in fact, even if they were given, people cannot be resurrected after death, and they cannot live in good memories forever. Zhou Huaiyan smiled with relief, as if recalling the conversation between their father and son...

Although both of them are not good at words, they speak surprisingly well.

Chunqiu tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and thanked Zhou Huaiyan for a while with a smile on his face.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get busy. Chunqiu was too young. Although her medical skills were good, she couldn't be allowed to see the doctor alone. The little assistant, from time to time, brings a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the other party, or grabs a prescription or something. Since the age is used to doing such things, it is quite easy to do.

After finishing his work in the morning, Zhou Huaiyan was going back home for dinner, and took Chunqiu back to pick up books by the way. Chunqiu, who was planning to go home for dinner, decided to pick up the books before going back to the shop.

The Zhou mansion is not too big, a few people walked into the gate, turned around a few pavilions, and bypassed a small rockery, and then arrived at Zhou Huaiyan's yard. Zhou Huaiyan's study was in the northeast corner of the yard. He first led Chunqiu into the house. In the study room, I handed all the books that Zhou Mingfeng brought over from the bookshelf to Chunqiu. He hadn't seen much either.

Chunqiu Qushou, took the book handed over by Zhou Huaiyan, and returned with a smile, "I will bother senior brother a lot then."

Chunqiu said again, "Senior brother please thank uncle for me." She said this seriously, although she had not met Zhou Mingfeng a few times, but in the end he was kind to her.And she just came to get the book, now that the book is in hand, she naturally wants to leave, "Senior Brother, Junior Sister, please don't bother me, I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute" Zhou Huaiyan stretched out his hand to stop Chunqiu, "Junior Sister, why don't you leave after eating?" There is no reason to leave without eating, Zhou Huaiyan hurriedly stopped Chunqiu.

Although she is young, she can feel strange when eating with Zhou's father and son alone. Chunqiu shook her head and refused, "Senior brother, mother is waiting for me at home."

Zhou Huaiyan must have thought of something, but after listening to Chunqiu's words, he didn't continue to persuade him to stay, "Then...Qingsong" Zhou Huaiyan turned around and called Qingsong who was standing at the door.

"Master, Miss Qiu'er" Qingsong respectfully called the two of them after entering the door.

Zhou Huaiyan ordered, "Well, take the family's carriage and send the younger sister back."

"No need, brother." Chunqiu wanted to reject Zhou Huaiyan's kindness, she should be able to walk back with this thing in her arms.

"No." Zhou Huaiyan's expression was serious, "This place is still far away from your home, let's go back by car."

Looking at the stubborn Zhou Huaiyan, Chunqiu knew that he couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed, "That's troublesome brother."

Chunqiu finally got into Zhou's carriage. Zhou Huaiyan stood at the door and waved to Chunqiu who poked his head out. The two agreed to meet in the herbal hall in the afternoon.

Uncle Li stood behind Zhou Huaiyan, watched the carriage gradually go away, and then said respectfully to Zhou Huaiyan's background, "Master, hurry up and eat, master has been waiting for you for a long time." Uncle Li said this with emotion Since Dr. Zhou came last time, the relationship between the father and son has shown signs of easing up. Uncle Li is relieved to see it.

Zhou Huaiyan bowed his head in response, then turned and went back to the house.

The table in the lobby was already set, Zhou Huaiyan first shook hands with Zhou Mingfeng after entering the room, and then sat directly opposite Zhou Mingfeng.

"The big beef dish made in the kitchen today tastes good, hurry up and eat more." Zhou Mingfeng picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and put the vegetables in Zhou Huaiyan's bowl and chopsticks.

Zhou Huaiyan smiled, picked up his chopsticks and ate.

"By the way, Dad..." Zhou Huaiyan recalled what happened in Qingyun Town yesterday, and asked with a frown, "Are you planning to go to Qingyun Town?" Yesterday, Dr. Li from the Herbal Cottage in Qingyun Town suddenly handed over a message, saying It's because there is something wrong with the amount of medicinal materials used in Qingyun Town recently.

But what was wrong was not explained in the letter. Several villages and towns around Linfang County were under their management. Zhou Mingfeng was a little worried about Qingyun Town, so he planned to take a look in the next two days.

"That's right," Zhou Mingfeng replied, "I haven't explained the matter of Qingyun Town clearly. I'm afraid there are some unspeakable secrets. Dr. Li is a cautious person. It may be a bit ugly to make him talk like this. I have nothing to do for a while, I will go and have a look tomorrow."

"Father, when do you plan to come back?" Zhou Mingfeng asked again.

"Well... three to five days is probably enough." Zhou Mingfeng smiled at Zhou Huaiyan, "Yan'er doesn't need to worry."

Zhou Huaiyan smiled, "Dad, pay more attention to your body, don't overwork yourself." He was really worried about Zhou Mingfeng's health, but if he went to this matter, he might not be able to restrain these people in Qingyun Town. Zhou Huaiyan's eyes flickered, or he was too weak !

After the father and son finished their meal, Zhou Mingfeng got up and went back to his room to pack his luggage. Although the other party said something vaguely, he didn't mean to be anxious. Zhou Mingfeng didn't need to rush too much. Besides, half a day would be enough to go from Linfang County to Qingyun Town. .
