Farmers are lucky if they have a daughter

Shopkeeper Ma thought Bai Yulian looked pretty good, so before they left, he specially took a paper parcel and handed it to Bai Yulian

"Hey, it has nothing to do with you. What I gave to you is your apprentice. You must not take it yourself. It doesn’t belong to you."

When shopkeeper Ma said this, Hou Fangsheng was still unconvinced.

"This is the Upala flower, a specialty of the small country in the Western Region. Even though this flower is now wrinkled and dry, it is very ugly, but as soon as it encounters water, this flower immediately begins to regain its vitality, and slowly It's just like picking it, bright and moving. But once the water source is lost, it will become so dry."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Ma said, Hou Fangsheng's expression was slightly strange.

Legend has it that the Upala flower grew from seeds sown from heaven and nectar sprinkled on the land. Although this legend is a bit mysterious, it is This Upala flower is indeed not available to ordinary people. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, there were quite a lot of Upala flowers in the Western Regions. However, because this kind of flower cannot be separated from water, it will wither without water. It is particularly ugly, like a pile of flowers. They looked like wilted weeds, so many people simply pulled out all the flowers, resulting in a massive reduction in production, almost to the point of extinction. Only then did people discover this characteristic of blooming when exposed to water and withering away from water. So this Upala flower has become a rare thing.

This kind of thing can only be found in a small area in the Western Region, and cannot be seen in other areas. In addition, the number has dropped sharply, and the price is very high. In their place , so far away from the Western Region, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

I don’t know where this shopkeeper Ma got this thing from. There is no way, it is really impossible, and it must have cost a lot of money. Use it. As a gift, it was really too expensive.

It was precisely because Hou Fangsheng knew how precious this Upala flower was that he had a strange look on his face. He snatched the small paper package away, not allowing Bai Yulian to take it, and then returned it to Shopkeeper Laima

"She couldn't accept this thing. No reward for no merit, you should keep such a valuable thing for yourself. She had just started to study medicine, and she hadn't even entered the door yet. There was no use in asking for this flower. It was really a waste of natural resources, so she might as well forget it."

Bai Yulian thought it was just some ordinary medicinal materials, and she couldn't refuse Shopkeeper Ma's kindness, so she originally planned to follow up. When she heard what Hou Fangsheng said, she immediately understood. Even Hou Fangsheng said this, Then Bai Yulian would not dare to accept this gift.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Ma, for your kindness." Bai Yulian waved her hands repeatedly,"My master is right, I don't have any use for this thing. Shopkeeper Ma, you should keep it for yourself. Maybe it will come in handy in the future."

Bai Yulian is a very talkative girl at first glance. She was not angry because Hou Fangsheng prevented her from accepting the gift. She politely rejected Shopkeeper Ma. She seems to be a very smart person.

But this is of no use, Ma The shopkeeper insisted on giving this Upala flower to Bai Yulian

"This thing is not for you, where did you get all this nonsense? When you say this, she won't dare to ask for it. This thing was given to me by someone else. I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. You really think too much. Although this Upala flower is precious, it is not very useful. It can be replaced by other common and cheap medicines. I have so many medicinal materials here that it is useless to keep them. Anyway, it is a flower, most suitable for a little girl. And I don’t think it’s for nothing. I gave you such a valuable thing as my disciple. If I come to you for anything in the future, will you have the nerve to refuse?"

"I knew you were up to no good," Hou Fangsheng rolled his eyes,"Did you have a premeditated plan?"

"What can I have planned?"Shopkeeper Ma stared at the roof. He must be refusing to admit it.

"I don’t know you yet?"Hou Fangsheng was actually able to make a rough guess. After all, they are old friends who have known each other for such a long time. Not to mention the roundworm in the other person's belly, at least he knew what the other person was going to say when he opened his mouth.

What he didn't expect was that , after Bai Yulian heard this, her eyes rolled around, and she immediately took the things in Shopkeeper Ma's hand with a smile, thanked her repeatedly, and said without any politeness,"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ma, in the future No matter what you have to do, just come to my master, no need to be polite to him, he will definitely agree."

As she said this, Bai Yulian almost laughed out loud.

After saying this, Bai Yulian glanced at Hou Fangsheng specifically, and saw that her master's face turned red. She was probably going to be angry to death. Bai Yulian He quickly lowered his head.

Hou Fangsheng didn't expect that Bai Yulian would dare to do this. What kind of disciple is he? He had only been accepted for a few days, and he already started to go to the house to uncover the tiles. He didn't even dare to listen to the master's words, and he dared to do it in front of the master. To say such a thing is simply treason.

The main reason is that Hou Fangsheng has a good relationship with this shopkeeper Ma. If the other party needs help with any problems, Hou Fangsheng will definitely agree.

Despite Bai Yulian's timid appearance, she is actually not afraid at all.

Humph, even though Bai Yulian lowered her head now, Hou Fangsheng didn't think she really knew that she had done something wrong. When shopkeeper Ma heard Bai Lian's words, he laughed several times and said,"Okay, okay, this girl is good, she has good eyesight. Brother Fang Sheng, you have gained a good disciple. Your disciples have agreed on your behalf, so let’s make an agreement, don’t go back on it"

"That's what she promised. What does it have to do with me? Hou Fang refused to admit it,"Old Ma, don't be too outrageous.""

"I don't care about that. Anyway, you have already agreed. If your apprentice agrees, is it the same as not talking to you?"

Hou Fangsheng glared at Bai Yulian, but didn't say anything else.

Bai Yulian was holding the thing, but Hou Fangsheng still owed the favor. What kind of disciple is this? It's an injustice. However

, Hou Fangsheng will not let it go. Bai Yulian, after you go back, copy the"Compendium of Materia Medica" several times before you start. Don't miss a word. If you miss a word, you won't be able to continue studying medicine.

"Master, can you copy it a few less times?"Bai Yulian pretended to be aggrieved and started acting coquettishly.

"No," Hou Fangsheng was quite strict in this regard,"Say it as many times as you like, without missing a word. If you have the skills, why not copy it down carefully? When you finish copying it, show it to me. I will check it carefully."

"But……"Bai Yulian immediately thought of an excuse,"My family is poor, and food is a problem. I am hungry every meal. Where can I get the money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones? Even if I want to copy, there is nothing to copy.""

This is really a big problem. Bai Yulian has never gone to school seriously, and she only learned some words from her grandmother when she was a child. This time-travelling Bai Yulian didn't have a problem with reading, but she really didn't have any tools to copy. The only family in the entire township that has a complete set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones is Liu Xiucai's.

You can't be so shameless as to ask Liu Xiucai for it, right? Bai Yulian and Liu Xiucai were engaged at the beginning. If it hadn't happened with Wang Ziqing, the two of them might have gotten married long ago.

"Humph, I knew you had a lot of excuses, you damn girl. Hou Fangsheng finally figured it out,"Don't come here. I don't have pens, inks, paper and inkstones at home. I have them here. Just copy them here. I can keep an eye on you, but don't be lazy.""

"ah?"Bai Yulian opened her mouth so wide that she could fit an egg into it.

Now Bai Yulian is copying books in the morning and learning about herbal medicine with Hou Fangsheng in the afternoon. Anyway, she can't be idle for a moment.

Isn't this too tiring? Bai Yulian She always felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, especially the part of copying books, which made her feel that her hands were no longer her own. If she continued like this, her hands would really break off. Even so, Hou Fangsheng still seemed very disgusted. Because the characters written by Bai Yulian are really ugly, crooked and crooked, like a snake crawling, it’s just like a dog crawling characters, not good-looking at all, and there are some places where the characters are not completely correct. In fact, the characters are not completely correct. , because Bai Yulian can’t write calligraphy at all, how can he write well? Bai Yulian doesn’t recognize all the characters here, and they don’t seem to be the same as modern traditional Chinese characters. I copied them all morning, It was just a few pieces of paper, and it was very ugly.

Faced with such handwriting, Hou Fangsheng was speechless. He was too lazy to read it and just threw it aside.

"Master, please stop making things difficult for me," Bai Yulian looked miserable,"I know I was wrong and I will never dare to do it again."

"Forget it," Hou Fangsheng looked quite disgusted,"You are such a stupid person, never say that I am your master when you go out in the future. I can't afford to disgrace this person, so just say that you never knew me. It doesn't matter to me."

Bai Yulian laughed and immediately threw away the pen holder.

"but……"Hou Fangsheng immediately made a U-turn,"You can stop copying the book for now, but you have to recite it word for word. If there is a mistake, you have to be careful with your palms.""

"ah?"Bai Yulian stepped back again and again. How can you recite so many words?

Hou Fansheng did not joke with Bai Yulian this time, because such medical books must be studied.

This is non-negotiable. If you want to learn medicine, just It has to be like this. If you can't recite it, you will really get slapped on the palm of your hand. Don't think that Bai Yulian is a little girl, and Hou Fangsheng can't do it.

If you don't give her a good beating and make it a good memory, I'm afraid Bai Yulian will always want to study medicine. It's very simple.

Not only this book, but all the medical books in the house must be memorized.
