Wen Qingcheng had just finished weighing with the people in the warehouse. It was time to get off work. She had asked for leave from Manager Qin in the morning. She would take the assessment for junior pharmacists tomorrow. Even if Wang Yunxi didn't want to grant her leave, it wouldn't work because the Qihuang Patriarch Association of the Great Qi Dynasty stipulated that pharmacies could not prevent pharmacists from taking exams for any reason.

After coming out of Wang Ji, Wen Qingcheng's chest instantly felt relaxed, and she rode a fast horse all the way home.

"Alluring—Alluring—"

Wen Qingcheng rode back to the village on horseback, and vaguely heard someone calling her from behind. She reined in her horse and looked back, and saw Qi Zhen standing not far away with a basket waving at her.

"Zhenzhen..." Wen Qingcheng was very happy and surprised to see an acquaintance. She didn't expect Qi Zhen to come to Yueya Village.

Wen Qingcheng got off the horse, Qi Zhen came over with a basket, and Wen Qingcheng led the horse towards her. "Why did you come to our village?"

Because the herbal medicine store's closing time is half an hour later than the pharmacy's closing time, Wen Qingcheng was very surprised that Qi Zhen would appear in their village at this time.

"I left my job today and came here to visit my relatives. I saw you coming on horseback from a distance and called out to you several times."

"Haha, I was so focused on going home that I didn't notice it. By the way, is the new Steward Sun treating you well?"

"Now that Manager Pang and Liu Yishou are gone, our lives are much better. Although Manager Sun is strict, at least he catches the big ones and lets the small ones go. There are no such things. Also, Xiao Yue is gone too."

Wen Qingcheng was very surprised and opened her eyes wide, "Why did Xiaoyue leave? Doesn't she also want to take the exam for a junior pharmacist?"

"She didn't prepare this year. Maybe she gave up. Let me tell you..." Qi Zhen Wang Wen Qingcheng leaned in and whispered, "I heard that Xiao Yue and Manager Pang have that kind of relationship. Someone went to dinner and saw Xiao Yue and Manager Pang coming out of the restaurant box together."

"Ah? Has the world gone so crazy? Manager Pang is in his thirties, and Xiao Yue is only sixteen or seventeen years old. This is too outrageous." Wen Qingcheng's three views were refreshed in an instant, and she simply couldn't believe it.

"Oh, it's true. Anyway, it's really hard to believe."

Wen Qingcheng ate an expired melon and felt that the melon had a rotten taste and was not sweet at all.

Qi Zhen looked at Wen Qingcheng with an expression as if she had eaten a fly, and smiled with her hands covering her mouth. "By the way, Qingcheng, how are you doing at the pharmaceutical factory? It must be an easy job there. I envy you for being transferred directly to the pharmaceutical factory. You can learn a lot of things there."

Qi Zhen's tone was full of envy. Wen Qingcheng smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I seem to have a bad relationship with Wang Ji. That place is not much better than the herbal medicine store."

Wen Qingcheng told Qi Zhen about harvesting Astragalus today because it was raining. Qi Zhen looked at Wen Qingcheng's hair and knew that she must have been caught in the rain today.

"Qingcheng, go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup, then cover your head and go to sleep. Let yourself sweat and don't catch a cold. The test will be tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'm in good health and haven't caught a cold for several years." Wen Qingcheng originally felt very afraid of the cold, but after eating a self-heating hot pot in the woodshed, she no longer felt cold.

"Don't say such things casually, just say it now." Qi Zhen said seriously.

Wen Qingcheng just covered her mouth and smiled. Qi Zhen said angrily, "You're still laughing. It would be best if nothing happened. You should get up early tomorrow. It's better to be early than late. The exam will start at Luming Academy at 1:00 pm."

Wen Qingcheng nodded. She knew the time and place, but she was still very grateful to Qi Zhen.

"And..." Qi Zhen took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Qingcheng.

Wen Qingcheng opened it and burst out laughing. "Is this... a formula?"

Qi Zhen gave her a mnemonic for remembering prescriptions. There was a small note behind Ma Huang Tang: "What's your godmother's surname?" and a note behind Yin Qiao San: "Golden bulls and silver pigs are prettier when they eat grass roots."

"Yes, this is what Brother Gong got from his friend yesterday. I copied it down at home. You can take a look at it too, in case it can be used tomorrow. Let me tell you, this godmother's surname is licorice, ephedra, cinnamon twig, and almond, which represents the composition of Mahuang Decoction."

Wen Qingcheng smiled and said, "Then this straw man selling rice cakes in the middle of the night must be licorice, ginseng, pinellia, bamboo leaves, ophiopogon, polished rice... bamboo leaf gypsum soup?"

"That's right, you're smart, an expert will understand it at a glance. Brother Gong said that this is a treasure in the palm of his friend's hand. You should go back and read it a few more times. There will be a prescription test tomorrow, and it will be useful."

"Thank you then." Wen Qingcheng giggled. In fact, the prescriptions of the Great Qi Dynasty were similar to the prescriptions of her previous life. Wen Qingcheng had memorized them by heart when she was in college. However, she still had to thank Qi Zhen for always thinking of her.

"Oh, the test is tomorrow, why do I feel like my mind is blank? My hands shake when I get nervous. Tomorrow I will be tested not only on processing, drug identification and prescription, but also on cutting. What should I do if my hands shake? The more I think about it, the more uncertain I feel."

"When the time comes, things will work out. Don't think too much. You have a family heritage, which puts you ahead of many other candidates. There may seem to be many people taking the exam every day, but in fact, a large number of them are there to participate. You have to have confidence in yourself."

Qi Zhen nodded, "If I can pass, I can apply to be transferred to the pharmacy, and then we can be together again. I am alone in the herbal medicine store now, and no one is with me. It's so boring."

Wen Qingcheng's expression changed slightly. She had already decided to leave Wang's regardless of whether she passed the assessment or not. However, Wen Qingcheng couldn't say this to Qi Zhen now, so she changed the subject. "You will definitely get what you want. Come on, come home with me and have dinner at my house tonight."

Wen Qingcheng pulled Qi Zhen to leave, but Qi Zhen held Wen Qingcheng back and said, "I'm not going. I'll go another day when I have a chance. My mother came with me, so we need to go back early."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a woman in her forties walking out of the alley quickly with a basket on her shoulder, followed by an old woman. "Take these brown sugars."

"No need, Third Aunt, keep it for yourself."

Qi Zhen looked at Wen Qingcheng and smiled, then hurried over, "Grandma, keep it. We have it at home."

After some pushing and shoving, the two sides finally put the brown sugar into Qi Zhen's basket, and the mother and daughter walked towards Wen Qingcheng with their arms around each other.

Wen Qingcheng then realized that Qi Zhen was tall, about 1.7 meters tall, and weighed about 180 kilograms, but her mother was thin and small, so Qi Zhen didn't inherit fatness. She just loved to eat, and half of her earnings were spent on the dessert shop.

"Qingcheng, we are going back, you should go back and practice your recitation too, and get a feel for it.

"Yeah, I'll treat you to dinner after the exam."

"Okay, then we have a deal." Qi Zhen's eyes were full of smiles.

After bidding farewell to the mother and daughter, Wen Qingcheng mounted her horse and rushed home. Just as Qi Zhen said, she would go back to practice cutting medicine and memorize some prescriptions. It is better to sharpen your sword before a battle than to sharpen it. Although she was a doctor of pharmacy in her previous life and had passed the examination for a senior professional title in pharmacy, the examination syllabus of the Great Qi Dynasty was different from that of her previous life and should not be underestimated.

Wen Qingcheng never fights a battle without preparation. She always prepares fully for even the smallest exam. She is modest and prudent, eager to learn and study the truth. Arrogance brings harm, while humility brings benefit.
