Tan Hua Floating Dream
Chapter 3
Once you have personally experienced life in this era, you can fully understand why the ancients mostly worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, because there are no convenient machines to reduce the time people spend on work. After a few daily life is full, Almost a day has passed.
Get up every morning to collect the water needed for the day, plow a small field in his yard - he used the small garden in the original mansion to grow some vegetables and fruits - eat breakfast, then go to the pharmacy as an apprentice boy, and end in the evening After returning home from work, boiling water, cooking and taking a shower, I would go to bed almost exhausted, and sleep until I woke up naturally at about three or four in the morning, and then the cycle continued.
Life is as boring as a machine. Occasionally, if you are not so tired, you can read some pharmacopoeias given to him by the shopkeeper in the study, practice the brush calligraphy that you are already unfamiliar with, or buy some books from the public bookstore and go home, and learn from those barbarian officials and unofficial histories. understand today's society.Although these things are nothing more than low-end things in the eyes of the literati with high self-esteem, on the other hand, they are the stories closest to the lives of the people at the bottom, and they are the best introduction manuals for him.
Then when I dreamed back at midnight, I fell asleep thinking of that person.
Sometimes when he wakes up with tears, he will feel a dream that is so happy and sweet that he does not want to wake up. He hopes that those dreams are real, and this life is a dream. He is even more afraid that one day he will never be able to remember Meng Chaoyin again. appearance.
He went to the market to buy some charcoal and paper. Whenever he dreamed of Meng Chaoyin, he would use the charcoal pencil to scribble and draw a picture of the man in his memory, smiling, angry or sleeping. I want to keep something more when I still remember the other person's appearance.
And those paintings let him carefully store them in a wooden box in the study, and then put a small camphor wood pellet in the box to avoid being eaten by moths.
For him, these portraits are far more precious than all his current possessions, and they may be treasures that he will use to remember his whole life.
Tang Xiu also caught a glimpse of those portraits he painted, and she looked very surprised. She was surprised that Tang Tan had such a good skill, but she never showed it when she was in the palace, and she was also very curious that Tang Tan did not paint the prince. But a strange man.
Regarding this, Tang Tan just smiled and said that he didn't know the man in the painting, but this man often appeared in his dreams so he couldn't help but draw it. Tang Xiu even worried that Tang Tan dreamed of the man in the legend of this house. A ghost, but seeing that Tang Tan didn't have the phenomenon of encountering ghosts and evil spirits like ordinary people's legends, he felt a little relieved.
However, Tang Xiu was a little curious about Tang Tan's unique drawing method. It looked like a vivid and vivid portrait, so lifelike that it would walk out of the painting in the next moment. She dared to say that even the one who had been there The number one painter in the world who has been to the palace is no match for these casual portraits in Tang Tan's hands.
Their life is very ordinary but also very fulfilling. The neighbors in the neighborhood also regard them as brothers and sisters from other counties. Knowing that both of them are unmarried, and looking at the attractiveness of men and women, they always like to talk about matchmaking from time to time. But always declined by them.
It's natural for Tang Tan to decline, let's not say that the original owner of this body is the prince's old love, he himself is a complete homosexual, he can't stand up to women at all, if he marries a wife just to stop everyone talking, it's just a delay If you love each other for the rest of your life, it would be better to stay alone like this for the rest of your life.
Tang Xiu, on the other hand, after Tang Tan recognized her as her younger sister, decided to stay by Tang Tan's life without marrying, unless someone was willing to marry and accompany Tang Tan with her, otherwise she would treat her as a younger sister without marrying. It doesn't matter if you stay by Tang Tan's side for the rest of your life.
Although she is only twenty-eight years old, but because she has stayed in the palace for a long time and watched a lot, she knows that once entering a wealthy family is like the sea, the rich and noble family is not the reason for happiness, and the prince's thin affection for the son makes her also love love. Distrust and indifference, I don't yearn for the love and life that I keep saying, and I think that even if I don't get married, it may be happier to support Tang Tan as a brother and sister until I grow old.
Days passed like this day by day, Tang Tan sometimes felt that he was really going to become an ancient person, as if everything he lived in the future was just a dream instead.
But he knows that those are true, and history is also moving forward. From the storytelling that he occasionally heard in the inn, and some current information, he can probably know that these are not out of the historical trend. Now this business has never been more prosperous. There are more than 100 years left to come to an end.
As for his future soul, he didn't try to change history like the people who traveled through the novels. He knew that those things were not something he could shake. to one's own existence.
Who knows whether the current body, the people around it, have any relationship with the future Tang Tan?
So Tang Tan worked very low-key and worked hard to integrate into this era and society, and didn't want to make himself too conspicuous... Aren't the time-traveling protagonists in TV and novels all too revealing of their own specialness, causing a lot of trouble?
What's more, he is still a resurrected soul. He doesn't want himself to be regarded as a monster by his neighbors in the countryside, and then get rid of them quickly. It's better to keep a low profile, and you can live longer with a low profile.

"Shopkeeper, this is sister sister's embroidery this time, please take a look." When passing by the embroidery workshop, Tang Tan took Tang Xiu's embroidery of this month to the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop, and sold it similar to a consignment commission. .
Of course, the embroidery workshop also has its own embroiderers, but occasionally, there will be some scattered goods like Tang Tan and the others for consignment.In order to avoid hitting the business of their own embroidery workshop, the embroidery workshop will take a higher commission than the embroidered women trained by themselves, but many women who cannot become embroidered women and need to supplement their families still choose this kind of cooperative sales.
What's more, if these embroidery products sell well, the commissions drawn by the embroidery workshop will be high. This kind of no-cost business embroidery workshop will not suffer, and if the cooperation is good, it can also attract some big business for the embroidery workshop. Why not the embroidery workshop? happy.
"Oh, Xiao Tang! Let me see... well, this time the embroidered girl's embroidery is still as delicate and delicate! The ladies should be very satisfied too... Come on, come on, this is the salary for five pieces last time, But it sold for a good price! The ladies were very satisfied with the embroidering girl's craftsmanship, and said that if the embroidering girl had new products, she would notify them. "
The Maitreya Buddha-like shopkeeper smiled and stuffed a bag of broken silver into his hand, hinting that he must never take the embroidery to a hostile shop.
"Yes, we brothers and sisters also have to thank the shopkeeper for taking care of me!" Tang Tan thanked the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop with a smile, stuffed the broken silver into the inner pocket of his clothes, and hurried to the drugstore.
When he came to the pharmacy, he was surprised to find a carriage and several horses parked in front of the pharmacy. The carriage was not gorgeous and had no extra decorations, but it could be seen from the horse pulling the cart and the other good horses that the person was of extraordinary status. , A few figures who looked like guards stood in front of the pharmacy, they seemed to be big men?
When he walked into the pharmacy, the guards just glanced at him and did not stop him. The old shopkeeper was not there, and there was only another pharmacist, a buddy and an apprentice in front of the cabinet. There was a strange tense atmosphere in the pharmacy. .
"Master, Brother Wu, are they...? Where's the shopkeeper?" Tang Tan glanced at the two guards at the door who stood like military police guards, and asked softly.
"Hey, today is the day when Gu Ye came. The shopkeeper went in to report the business situation of the pharmacy to Gu Ye." Brother Wu, who seemed honest and honest, explained briefly, but only when Tang Tan returned him with a confused expression, he remembered Tang Tan said that the two brothers and sisters came from a small village, they had never seen any big world, and it was normal that they had never heard of Gu Ye.
"No, I forgot that you brothers and sisters are from rural towns. You probably haven't heard of Gu Ye's name, and we haven't mentioned it to you much. Let me tell you now, so you have to remember Gu Ye in the future." Brother Wu suddenly realized that he patted his arm, then glanced at the master who didn't stop him from explaining, and then began to talk about Gu Ye.
Gu Ye's name is Gu Zhongyan, although he is called Gu Ye, but he is actually very young, only standing in his thirties, it can be said that he is the current owner of the longevity medicine shop, and he controls the supply of medicinal materials in the medicine shop all over the world, but he is not longevity. The owner and owner of the pharmacy.
The Changsheng Medicine Shop, Changsheng Commercial Firm, or Changsheng Bank, etc., all belong to the property of the Marquis of Changsheng, but Gu Ye is not the Marquis of Changsheng, but the manager of the Marquis of Changsheng. Marquis Changsheng managed many family businesses.
The reason Gu Ye is able to hold such real power is because Chang Sheng Hou has been bedridden for many years, and Hou Ye's eldest son disappeared many years ago, and the youngest son was born in Xu Xian, who is still too young to manage such a large property.Therefore, the burden of managing these family businesses fell on the young and promising manager Gu Zhongyan.
Gu Zhongyan lived up to his entrustment to manage the Changshenghou family business in a sound and colorful manner, so that the Changshenghou's mansion would not end up in decline.
Of course, there are also many rumors, alleging that the Marquis of Changsheng will fall because Gu Zhongyan wanted to seize power to replace him and poisoned him, the young master of Marquis of Changsheng was used as a puppet master to hold the emperor to order the princes, or that the young master was not actually The son of the Marquis of Changsheng, but the ridiculous rumors that the second wife and the ancient master had committed adultery and seized power.
But outsiders are still unable to know how it actually happened. They only know that despite these right and wrong, Gu Ye still manages the Marquis of Changsheng's mansion very well, and never oversteps the rules.
Although the Marquis of Changsheng is a Marquis, he is not an official or a member of the royal family who needs to go to court, but a noble family. It is similar to the good name of knighthood in modern Britain, but there is no real obligation.It is said that when the Taizu founded the country, the Changshenghou clan was awarded for their meritorious service. Although they had titles, they did not enter the court as officials. It was just that the Song government had to give Changshenghou some face in terms of business.
The reason why it is called the Marquis of Longevity is precisely because this family holds most of the medicinal materials in the world, and the good medicine can nourish the body and make people live forever, so it has this reputation.
In particular, the Marquis of Changsheng has been in possession of most of the excellent medicinal materials of the Song Dynasty for many years, and some of them are paid as tribute to the imperial palace. Sometimes even the imperial palace has to ask them for many rare medicinal materials. , so that it is difficult for successive emperors to blame the Changshenghou clan.
Fortunately, the Changshenghou family has always kept a low profile. Even though they hold a lot of power and wealth, they never act in public. They abide by the family rules of being cautious in words and deeds, perhaps because of the Changshenghou's title of commoner and nobleman.
This title of title is like a double-edged sword, if it is done rightly, the added value of this title is naturally valuable, but if it is used to do evil, it will also become a tool used by the imperial court to deal with the Marquis of Longevity.
Perhaps this is also the reason why this ancient master did not consider usurping the Hou's mansion?As long as he is a substitute servant, the court will not be able to blame him for some things, and if something happens, the name of Lord Hou will be in the way first, and it will be his turn if he can't.
...It seems to be a bit insidious, but no matter what the situation is, it has nothing to do with him, a small person, even if the Jiuzu will not be able to turn to him someday.
After getting a general idea of Gu Ye's identity, Tang Tan didn't plan to get to know Gu Ye more deeply. Anyway, he knew that he was a high-level member of the Changshenghou clan.
"Xiao Tang, go to the backyard to tidy up the medicinal herbs. I just entered the batch of medicinal herbs." After Brother Wu finished his explanation, the pharmacist interjected lightly, asking him to go to the backyard to tidy up the medicinal herbs.
"Yes, master." Tang Tan didn't feel like a handyman. He was just a new apprentice and boy, so it's okay to do these things for a living.
Moreover, this job is not heavy and heavy. It usually involves learning to identify the true and false medicinal materials, good and bad, and then sorting them out. Besides, you have to go to the mountainous areas outside the city to collect medicinal herbs several times a month, which are usually the types commonly used by ordinary people. Medicinal materials, he is teaching outdoors, so he doesn't find it particularly hard.
Perhaps because of the external temperament, Tang Tan accidentally heard the master and the shopkeeper, and the chats of the neighbors around, saying that Tang Tan's brother and sister may come from a good family with a poor family background, their temperament is not ordinary, and their conversation is very different. Gentle and elegant... To be honest, Tang Tan found it a bit ridiculous when he heard it.
Temperament or something is because he from the future has received good compulsory education since he was a child, not because of Guan Wenqiufu's background.
He didn't know whether the original owner of the body "Wen Qiufu" had any other extraordinary identities besides being King Xiang's ex-lover. Those who are familiar with Wen Qiufu can see the clues, it is better to cut off everything related to this body in the past, and start a new life belonging to him, Tang Tan.
Tang Tan cleaned and arranged the dusty herbs, and then carefully wiped them clean and sorted them to expose them to the sun. He focused on these repeated and cumbersome procedures, and didn't notice anyone walking around. With a dark green tall figure, he walked to the back yard together with the old shopkeeper.
That... should be the Gu Ye that Senior Brother Wu said...?
Tang Tan looked at the back, an inexplicable sense of familiarity made his hands pause, he stared at the person who disappeared around the corner unconsciously, and then smiled wryly in his heart.
I really think too much, I think about it every day and dream at night, and when I see a man of similar size, I can't help but think of that person.
"Missing is a kind of very mysterious thing, accompanying like a shadow. Soundless and breathless, it haunts the bottom of my heart. In a blink of an eye, it engulfs me in loneliness. I can't resist, especially at night, I miss you so much that I can't breathe. I wish I could go to you immediately. Run wildly and tell you loudly..." Tang Tan couldn't help humming this song softly, although the lyrics were simple, they were very close to his current mood.
When he was young, he didn't particularly like Faye Wong's songs, but when he grew up, he was able to appreciate the charm of her songs, like a warm fire, quietly burning and ironing his heart, and now he still misses it inexplicably.
After all, in this time, space and era, it is impossible to hear those familiar melodies from the past.
A feeling of loneliness spread in his heart.
Although it is said that he has come to this age and almost half a year has passed before he knows it, the pain engraved deep in his memory surges up from time to time, and the deep-seated longing and loneliness gnaw at his blood.
He knew why he was familiar with and missed the back of a stranger, he just missed that person too much, even if it was a similar back to comfort him.
Subconsciously pressing his heart, Tang Tan didn't think that he could come to this era inexplicably, so what about Yin who was one step ahead of him?Could he also exist...?
Forget it, don't have such unrealistic thoughts, God really wants to be so kind to him, why let Yin suffer from cancer and leave him, and let him die in a car accident.
People these days will not be more tolerant towards comrades than he was back then...
He is almost sure that he will be alone for the rest of his life, and he has never thought about finding a new partner, because in his heart, he already has the most beautiful love, and he doesn't want to forget Yin to love other love affairs. Others, no matter who they are, will only be constantly compared in his heart, so it is better to let him keep those memories and spend the rest of his life alone.
He is a very timid person, he has been hurt and loved, so he doesn't want to try any more, he just hopes that he can hold his heart tightly and that's enough.
※※※
Just like that, while Tang Tan was thinking about that person, he arranged most of the herbs in his hands without stopping, and ate a bowl of rice brought by Senior Brother Wu. Braised eggs, topped with some marinade, although it is simpler, but there is nothing to be picky about, and then continue to work, until the end of the day's work until it is almost evening.
Tang Tan hurried to the evening market after finishing work. In ancient times, this was probably the most inconvenient point, because there was no refrigerator, many foods could not be stored for a long time, and their small family could not afford ice cubes to make ice If you want to eat any meat, you have to go to the market to buy it back for processing on the same day.
After walking around the evening market, Tang Tan hesitated for a while and bought half a chicken. He remembered that Tang Xiu seemed to be on her menstruation, and her complexion was not very good for a day or two, so she bought a chicken and went home to replace her. Replenish your body... She is still young, if she doesn't maintain her health well at this age, she will definitely suffer from a lot of diseases.
Carrying the half chicken wrapped in oiled paper towards the house, Tang Tan was thinking about what medicinal materials he had at home that he could use together with the medicinal materials he brought back today to make a tonic for Tang Xiu.
It takes about an hour to walk from the market to where they live.In ancient times, there were no bicycles or various means of public transportation. Although I bought a horse and a carriage to travel from the capital to Hangzhou, I sold them after I settled down.
They are not big families, and they are not like the protagonists in movies or costume dramas who roamed around in various cities and villages. If there were no wars in this era, many people would never leave their hometowns for the rest of their lives. Tang Tan felt that they Probably about the same.
He is not a person who likes to change. In his last life... count his life?His life is already full of too many unsatisfactory things, he just wants to spend it in peace and stability here.
Just as he was taking a shortcut through an alley, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, making him turn around subconsciously, and then he was bumped into by that reckless running figure, and the medicine bag and the chicken wrapped in oil paper fell on the ground. on the ground.
"Ah!" Tang Tan exclaimed, and the things in both hands were scattered on the ground.
The man gave Tang Tan an unhappy look, picked up his things and ran away in a hurry, his movements were very neat, and he disappeared without a trace after a while.
Are you running so fast because you want to reincarnate?And he hit it by himself, right?To give him a face, without even an apology, this quality...
Forget it, this year is not the era of popularization of knowledge, it's better not to ask too much, and it's fine if you don't get troubled and make trouble.
Tang Tan picked up his package, patted the dirt off the oil paper, and was about to leave when there was another sound of footsteps behind him. It sounded like there were more people this time, which made him turn his head again in doubt. A figure in dark purple clothes who looked like a guard ran over with a serious expression.
That clothes seemed familiar... Tang Tan thought for a while, and remembered that he had just seen it this morning, aren't these people the guards of that ancient master?
One of them, who looked like the leader of these guards, met Tang Tan's eyes, paused for a while, and walked towards Tang Tan.
"My lord, have you seen a suspicious-looking man in earth-colored cloth?" The man politely raised his fists to Tang Tan, but he asked urgently.
The earth-colored cloth clothes... the man who bumped into him and ran away in a hurry just now was wearing such clothes, right?
Seeing that a chase scene that he had seen before was being staged before him, and then he quickly compared the attitudes of the two sides, Tang Tan immediately leaned towards his immediate boss.
"Turn left at the alley ahead." Tang Tan didn't ask what was going on, too much gossip and curiosity would never end well, and this is not something he should know.
The guard nodded to thank him, and after a "chasing", he and those people disappeared before his eyes in a blink of an eye. He even saw one of the guards jumping up to the roof under the order of the man, as if to reach a high place. To scout the target, and this also made Tang Tan's eyes widen slightly.
This is... the legendary qinggong?He blinked, still feeling very incredible to see this kind of kung fu that can be said to be just a fantasy in the 21st century.
Could it be that there really is such a mysterious internal force martial skill?In his original era, internal energy, qigong, acupoints, etc., had only the function of health care and strengthening the body. It was really like the description in the novel, the internal energy or acupoint acupuncture in the body...
However, no matter what, it had nothing to do with him.
If we look at it in the 21st century, the imperial court is equivalent to a government unit, and Wulin is a private business circle. In this circle, there are white ways of doing business decently, and of course there are gangsters who fight and kill.Ordinary townspeople will not get involved here, and will not even have any contact for a lifetime. At most, they will just be an inconspicuous worker under these businesses, such as he is now, but he has no such opportunity To get sucked into the center of the vortex.
... Generally speaking.
Tang Tan could only hope so.
Just like the storylines in many novels or movies, the souls that do not belong to this era originally come to this place through time and space, and they must have their meaning of existence. But it must have its own rules of operation.
The timeline should be forward rather than retrograde, unless there is some reason for his future soul to come here, but he can't figure out what influence he can have on this era.
...Forget it, if you come here, you will be at peace, he is not the kind of person who is foolishly used by others and can't see it, so you won't let him come here to die again, right?If so, he would really have to think about whether he was some heinous villain in his previous life.
※※※
Thinking of returning home with a pile of what was left, Tang Xiu quickly brought a clean cloth towel for him to wipe off the dust from his day's work as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother Tan, this is..." After taking the hefty chicken and a small bag of broken silver from Tang Tan's hand, Tang Xiu showed some hesitation and confusion on his face.
"Shards of silver are the money from the sale of your embroidery last time. It sold for a good price. I took some to buy chicken. You take the chicken and wash it first, and I will get you a medicine tonic later. You need it these days Repair your body?" Tang Tan reached out to pat Tang Xiu's head after wiping his face and hands.
This remark made Tang Xiu look at him in shock and emotion, never expecting Tang Tan to treat her so kindly.
Although Tang Tan recognizes her as her younger sister, she still feels that Tang Tan is her master, and the deep-rooted servile nature cannot be eliminated in such a short period of time, but Tang Tan's considerate behavior today But it moved her.
After the young master woke up more than half a year ago, although he lost his memory, it was more like a different person. Not only his temperament was different, but also his habits were different. Tang Xiu observed secretly for a long time in amazement, and it was almost certain that He is not "Wen Qiufu".
But who else could it be if it wasn't Wen Qiufu?When the young master was in a coma, she was almost inseparable. She would only leave when she needed to bring medicine or meals for the young master. Could she drop someone in such a short period of time?And if it is someone who has other intentions for the prince, how can he ask to leave?
Layers of mysteries hung on the reborn young master, and Tang Xiu even had a fantasy, but he never dared to ask Tang Tan for confirmation of that thought.
On the one hand, she quite likes Tang Tan, who treats her like a real brother, who is gentle, calm, and restrained. On the other hand, she is afraid that if something is broken, this peaceful and peaceful life will be lost immediately.
And compared to being a slave, a clean and good citizenship like this is more precious. After all, although these years of life have already given her an indelible obedience, no one is born to like to be a slave. It's because people like to be treated with respect and kindness, and don't like the days when they are not seen as human beings.
So although she struggled to think that this person might not be Wen Qiufu at first, and was worried whether that disgusting and kind-hearted master would still exist in this world, but after thinking about it, maybe this is not a bad thing for the original Wen Qiufu, At least you don't have to face the prince's unfeeling anymore.
"Yes, Luxiu will go now." After Tang Xiu obediently responded, she looked at Tang Tan with a slightly helpless expression, and she also paused.After realizing her unconscious submissive tone, she still couldn't change it for a while, which also made her show a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Tang Tan tapped her on the head with his knuckles, and walked into the pharmacy without saying anything, intending to deal with the medicine package he grabbed back today.
Drugstores always classify all kinds of medicinal materials according to their grades. There are good quality products and there are also inferior ones. The Longevity Pharmacy is quite conscientious. In the shop, the medicinal materials are divided into five grades: extreme, excellent, high, general and inferior. Among them, low-quality products are not sold in longevity medicine stores, unlike some pharmacies that mix low-quality ginseng with higher-grade products for sale, or sell them to those who can only buy low-quality products for addition and subtraction because they can’t afford good medicine materials. people.
The low-quality products of Changsheng Pharmacy are usually used to dispense medicines for its employees or to help some poor families for free on a regular basis. Good reputation and charitable actions have also laid the foundation of a good reputation for generations of Changshenghou.
The same is true for the medicinal materials that Tang Tan brought back, as long as you tell the shopkeeper to register, you can take some at your discretion, and this is really to prevent someone from trying to sell these inferior products.
He took out the small medicine stove for stewing medicine, and then opened the medicine bag to clean and put it in, but when he opened the medicine bag, he was stunned for a moment, because it was not the medicinal materials he originally contained, but the dried herbs. Processed herbs.
what is this?
At first glance, it looks very ordinary, because the whole herb is brown after drying, Tang Tan really can't tell what it is, it is not the ones he is already familiar with, strictly speaking He is still just a novice, and there are many medicinal materials that he still can't tell the difference from, or he hasn't seen them before, so naturally he can't immediately see what they are.
He remembered that he just took a few fragments of common medicinal materials and stewed them into lieutenant general soup for Tang Xiu. This was one of the few prescriptions he remembered, because he used to grab this traditional Chinese medicine for his sister when Xiaoli was still alive. Stew tonic, even if it seems that this era has not yet appeared in this prescription.
He flipped through the prescription book in the shop a few days ago, but he didn't see the prescription of Lieutenant General Decoction, and he didn't seem to know it when he casually asked the master. It is mentioned that this prescription first appeared in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, and was then recorded in the official prescription.
When Wang Anshi reformed in the Northern Song Dynasty, drug control was also produced and sold by joint drug stores in the official cooperation system. Similar to public sales bureaus, Changsheng Pharmacy is a special, semi-official existence, but it is not an object that the government can interfere.
And the time when Lieutenant General Decoction appeared also seems to be during this time...
Tang Tan couldn't help having an absurd thought, maybe he brought this prescription?If that's the case, it's too ridiculous...
Thinking far away, he remembered that what he brought back was the medicinal material of Lieutenant General Tang, why did it turn into these few seemingly similar medicinal materials?Where did this come from?
After being dazed for a while, Tang Tan suddenly remembered what happened just now.
After the man bumped into him just now, their belongings were scattered all over the ground. The other party hurriedly picked up the package that looked similar and ran away, but he himself didn't pay much attention. Then came the group of guards... Tang Tan's expression turned serious , suddenly felt that the few unknown herbs in his hands became inexplicably heavy.
Maybe he's really in trouble...
After thinking for a while, Tang Tan still packed the medicinal herbs back intact. His intuition told him that this should be what the guards wanted to recover, and it was definitely not an ordinary medicinal herb that can be seen everywhere, at least, for those people.
Go and inquire with the shopkeeper tomorrow, shall we?Let's see if it belongs to the old man, and if he should return it.
After all, he is not sure whether the original owner of this thing is the old man, and he doesn't know who is right, although according to his perception and position, he is more inclined to his immediate boss who has never met.
He did not deny that, of course, he was thinking for a moment in his heart whether these few humble medicinal herbs were valuable, but he just collided with that person and met those guards, if they were really looking for these few herbs, sooner or later There is still a possibility that he will be found on his head, and it is better for him not to mess with himself.
It's just that what troubles him more now is that he can't make up for Tang Xiu, right?
Get up every morning to collect the water needed for the day, plow a small field in his yard - he used the small garden in the original mansion to grow some vegetables and fruits - eat breakfast, then go to the pharmacy as an apprentice boy, and end in the evening After returning home from work, boiling water, cooking and taking a shower, I would go to bed almost exhausted, and sleep until I woke up naturally at about three or four in the morning, and then the cycle continued.
Life is as boring as a machine. Occasionally, if you are not so tired, you can read some pharmacopoeias given to him by the shopkeeper in the study, practice the brush calligraphy that you are already unfamiliar with, or buy some books from the public bookstore and go home, and learn from those barbarian officials and unofficial histories. understand today's society.Although these things are nothing more than low-end things in the eyes of the literati with high self-esteem, on the other hand, they are the stories closest to the lives of the people at the bottom, and they are the best introduction manuals for him.
Then when I dreamed back at midnight, I fell asleep thinking of that person.
Sometimes when he wakes up with tears, he will feel a dream that is so happy and sweet that he does not want to wake up. He hopes that those dreams are real, and this life is a dream. He is even more afraid that one day he will never be able to remember Meng Chaoyin again. appearance.
He went to the market to buy some charcoal and paper. Whenever he dreamed of Meng Chaoyin, he would use the charcoal pencil to scribble and draw a picture of the man in his memory, smiling, angry or sleeping. I want to keep something more when I still remember the other person's appearance.
And those paintings let him carefully store them in a wooden box in the study, and then put a small camphor wood pellet in the box to avoid being eaten by moths.
For him, these portraits are far more precious than all his current possessions, and they may be treasures that he will use to remember his whole life.
Tang Xiu also caught a glimpse of those portraits he painted, and she looked very surprised. She was surprised that Tang Tan had such a good skill, but she never showed it when she was in the palace, and she was also very curious that Tang Tan did not paint the prince. But a strange man.
Regarding this, Tang Tan just smiled and said that he didn't know the man in the painting, but this man often appeared in his dreams so he couldn't help but draw it. Tang Xiu even worried that Tang Tan dreamed of the man in the legend of this house. A ghost, but seeing that Tang Tan didn't have the phenomenon of encountering ghosts and evil spirits like ordinary people's legends, he felt a little relieved.
However, Tang Xiu was a little curious about Tang Tan's unique drawing method. It looked like a vivid and vivid portrait, so lifelike that it would walk out of the painting in the next moment. She dared to say that even the one who had been there The number one painter in the world who has been to the palace is no match for these casual portraits in Tang Tan's hands.
Their life is very ordinary but also very fulfilling. The neighbors in the neighborhood also regard them as brothers and sisters from other counties. Knowing that both of them are unmarried, and looking at the attractiveness of men and women, they always like to talk about matchmaking from time to time. But always declined by them.
It's natural for Tang Tan to decline, let's not say that the original owner of this body is the prince's old love, he himself is a complete homosexual, he can't stand up to women at all, if he marries a wife just to stop everyone talking, it's just a delay If you love each other for the rest of your life, it would be better to stay alone like this for the rest of your life.
Tang Xiu, on the other hand, after Tang Tan recognized her as her younger sister, decided to stay by Tang Tan's life without marrying, unless someone was willing to marry and accompany Tang Tan with her, otherwise she would treat her as a younger sister without marrying. It doesn't matter if you stay by Tang Tan's side for the rest of your life.
Although she is only twenty-eight years old, but because she has stayed in the palace for a long time and watched a lot, she knows that once entering a wealthy family is like the sea, the rich and noble family is not the reason for happiness, and the prince's thin affection for the son makes her also love love. Distrust and indifference, I don't yearn for the love and life that I keep saying, and I think that even if I don't get married, it may be happier to support Tang Tan as a brother and sister until I grow old.
Days passed like this day by day, Tang Tan sometimes felt that he was really going to become an ancient person, as if everything he lived in the future was just a dream instead.
But he knows that those are true, and history is also moving forward. From the storytelling that he occasionally heard in the inn, and some current information, he can probably know that these are not out of the historical trend. Now this business has never been more prosperous. There are more than 100 years left to come to an end.
As for his future soul, he didn't try to change history like the people who traveled through the novels. He knew that those things were not something he could shake. to one's own existence.
Who knows whether the current body, the people around it, have any relationship with the future Tang Tan?
So Tang Tan worked very low-key and worked hard to integrate into this era and society, and didn't want to make himself too conspicuous... Aren't the time-traveling protagonists in TV and novels all too revealing of their own specialness, causing a lot of trouble?
What's more, he is still a resurrected soul. He doesn't want himself to be regarded as a monster by his neighbors in the countryside, and then get rid of them quickly. It's better to keep a low profile, and you can live longer with a low profile.

"Shopkeeper, this is sister sister's embroidery this time, please take a look." When passing by the embroidery workshop, Tang Tan took Tang Xiu's embroidery of this month to the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop, and sold it similar to a consignment commission. .
Of course, the embroidery workshop also has its own embroiderers, but occasionally, there will be some scattered goods like Tang Tan and the others for consignment.In order to avoid hitting the business of their own embroidery workshop, the embroidery workshop will take a higher commission than the embroidered women trained by themselves, but many women who cannot become embroidered women and need to supplement their families still choose this kind of cooperative sales.
What's more, if these embroidery products sell well, the commissions drawn by the embroidery workshop will be high. This kind of no-cost business embroidery workshop will not suffer, and if the cooperation is good, it can also attract some big business for the embroidery workshop. Why not the embroidery workshop? happy.
"Oh, Xiao Tang! Let me see... well, this time the embroidered girl's embroidery is still as delicate and delicate! The ladies should be very satisfied too... Come on, come on, this is the salary for five pieces last time, But it sold for a good price! The ladies were very satisfied with the embroidering girl's craftsmanship, and said that if the embroidering girl had new products, she would notify them. "
The Maitreya Buddha-like shopkeeper smiled and stuffed a bag of broken silver into his hand, hinting that he must never take the embroidery to a hostile shop.
"Yes, we brothers and sisters also have to thank the shopkeeper for taking care of me!" Tang Tan thanked the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop with a smile, stuffed the broken silver into the inner pocket of his clothes, and hurried to the drugstore.
When he came to the pharmacy, he was surprised to find a carriage and several horses parked in front of the pharmacy. The carriage was not gorgeous and had no extra decorations, but it could be seen from the horse pulling the cart and the other good horses that the person was of extraordinary status. , A few figures who looked like guards stood in front of the pharmacy, they seemed to be big men?
When he walked into the pharmacy, the guards just glanced at him and did not stop him. The old shopkeeper was not there, and there was only another pharmacist, a buddy and an apprentice in front of the cabinet. There was a strange tense atmosphere in the pharmacy. .
"Master, Brother Wu, are they...? Where's the shopkeeper?" Tang Tan glanced at the two guards at the door who stood like military police guards, and asked softly.
"Hey, today is the day when Gu Ye came. The shopkeeper went in to report the business situation of the pharmacy to Gu Ye." Brother Wu, who seemed honest and honest, explained briefly, but only when Tang Tan returned him with a confused expression, he remembered Tang Tan said that the two brothers and sisters came from a small village, they had never seen any big world, and it was normal that they had never heard of Gu Ye.
"No, I forgot that you brothers and sisters are from rural towns. You probably haven't heard of Gu Ye's name, and we haven't mentioned it to you much. Let me tell you now, so you have to remember Gu Ye in the future." Brother Wu suddenly realized that he patted his arm, then glanced at the master who didn't stop him from explaining, and then began to talk about Gu Ye.
Gu Ye's name is Gu Zhongyan, although he is called Gu Ye, but he is actually very young, only standing in his thirties, it can be said that he is the current owner of the longevity medicine shop, and he controls the supply of medicinal materials in the medicine shop all over the world, but he is not longevity. The owner and owner of the pharmacy.
The Changsheng Medicine Shop, Changsheng Commercial Firm, or Changsheng Bank, etc., all belong to the property of the Marquis of Changsheng, but Gu Ye is not the Marquis of Changsheng, but the manager of the Marquis of Changsheng. Marquis Changsheng managed many family businesses.
The reason Gu Ye is able to hold such real power is because Chang Sheng Hou has been bedridden for many years, and Hou Ye's eldest son disappeared many years ago, and the youngest son was born in Xu Xian, who is still too young to manage such a large property.Therefore, the burden of managing these family businesses fell on the young and promising manager Gu Zhongyan.
Gu Zhongyan lived up to his entrustment to manage the Changshenghou family business in a sound and colorful manner, so that the Changshenghou's mansion would not end up in decline.
Of course, there are also many rumors, alleging that the Marquis of Changsheng will fall because Gu Zhongyan wanted to seize power to replace him and poisoned him, the young master of Marquis of Changsheng was used as a puppet master to hold the emperor to order the princes, or that the young master was not actually The son of the Marquis of Changsheng, but the ridiculous rumors that the second wife and the ancient master had committed adultery and seized power.
But outsiders are still unable to know how it actually happened. They only know that despite these right and wrong, Gu Ye still manages the Marquis of Changsheng's mansion very well, and never oversteps the rules.
Although the Marquis of Changsheng is a Marquis, he is not an official or a member of the royal family who needs to go to court, but a noble family. It is similar to the good name of knighthood in modern Britain, but there is no real obligation.It is said that when the Taizu founded the country, the Changshenghou clan was awarded for their meritorious service. Although they had titles, they did not enter the court as officials. It was just that the Song government had to give Changshenghou some face in terms of business.
The reason why it is called the Marquis of Longevity is precisely because this family holds most of the medicinal materials in the world, and the good medicine can nourish the body and make people live forever, so it has this reputation.
In particular, the Marquis of Changsheng has been in possession of most of the excellent medicinal materials of the Song Dynasty for many years, and some of them are paid as tribute to the imperial palace. Sometimes even the imperial palace has to ask them for many rare medicinal materials. , so that it is difficult for successive emperors to blame the Changshenghou clan.
Fortunately, the Changshenghou family has always kept a low profile. Even though they hold a lot of power and wealth, they never act in public. They abide by the family rules of being cautious in words and deeds, perhaps because of the Changshenghou's title of commoner and nobleman.
This title of title is like a double-edged sword, if it is done rightly, the added value of this title is naturally valuable, but if it is used to do evil, it will also become a tool used by the imperial court to deal with the Marquis of Longevity.
Perhaps this is also the reason why this ancient master did not consider usurping the Hou's mansion?As long as he is a substitute servant, the court will not be able to blame him for some things, and if something happens, the name of Lord Hou will be in the way first, and it will be his turn if he can't.
...It seems to be a bit insidious, but no matter what the situation is, it has nothing to do with him, a small person, even if the Jiuzu will not be able to turn to him someday.
After getting a general idea of Gu Ye's identity, Tang Tan didn't plan to get to know Gu Ye more deeply. Anyway, he knew that he was a high-level member of the Changshenghou clan.
"Xiao Tang, go to the backyard to tidy up the medicinal herbs. I just entered the batch of medicinal herbs." After Brother Wu finished his explanation, the pharmacist interjected lightly, asking him to go to the backyard to tidy up the medicinal herbs.
"Yes, master." Tang Tan didn't feel like a handyman. He was just a new apprentice and boy, so it's okay to do these things for a living.
Moreover, this job is not heavy and heavy. It usually involves learning to identify the true and false medicinal materials, good and bad, and then sorting them out. Besides, you have to go to the mountainous areas outside the city to collect medicinal herbs several times a month, which are usually the types commonly used by ordinary people. Medicinal materials, he is teaching outdoors, so he doesn't find it particularly hard.
Perhaps because of the external temperament, Tang Tan accidentally heard the master and the shopkeeper, and the chats of the neighbors around, saying that Tang Tan's brother and sister may come from a good family with a poor family background, their temperament is not ordinary, and their conversation is very different. Gentle and elegant... To be honest, Tang Tan found it a bit ridiculous when he heard it.
Temperament or something is because he from the future has received good compulsory education since he was a child, not because of Guan Wenqiufu's background.
He didn't know whether the original owner of the body "Wen Qiufu" had any other extraordinary identities besides being King Xiang's ex-lover. Those who are familiar with Wen Qiufu can see the clues, it is better to cut off everything related to this body in the past, and start a new life belonging to him, Tang Tan.
Tang Tan cleaned and arranged the dusty herbs, and then carefully wiped them clean and sorted them to expose them to the sun. He focused on these repeated and cumbersome procedures, and didn't notice anyone walking around. With a dark green tall figure, he walked to the back yard together with the old shopkeeper.
That... should be the Gu Ye that Senior Brother Wu said...?
Tang Tan looked at the back, an inexplicable sense of familiarity made his hands pause, he stared at the person who disappeared around the corner unconsciously, and then smiled wryly in his heart.
I really think too much, I think about it every day and dream at night, and when I see a man of similar size, I can't help but think of that person.
"Missing is a kind of very mysterious thing, accompanying like a shadow. Soundless and breathless, it haunts the bottom of my heart. In a blink of an eye, it engulfs me in loneliness. I can't resist, especially at night, I miss you so much that I can't breathe. I wish I could go to you immediately. Run wildly and tell you loudly..." Tang Tan couldn't help humming this song softly, although the lyrics were simple, they were very close to his current mood.
When he was young, he didn't particularly like Faye Wong's songs, but when he grew up, he was able to appreciate the charm of her songs, like a warm fire, quietly burning and ironing his heart, and now he still misses it inexplicably.
After all, in this time, space and era, it is impossible to hear those familiar melodies from the past.
A feeling of loneliness spread in his heart.
Although it is said that he has come to this age and almost half a year has passed before he knows it, the pain engraved deep in his memory surges up from time to time, and the deep-seated longing and loneliness gnaw at his blood.
He knew why he was familiar with and missed the back of a stranger, he just missed that person too much, even if it was a similar back to comfort him.
Subconsciously pressing his heart, Tang Tan didn't think that he could come to this era inexplicably, so what about Yin who was one step ahead of him?Could he also exist...?
Forget it, don't have such unrealistic thoughts, God really wants to be so kind to him, why let Yin suffer from cancer and leave him, and let him die in a car accident.
People these days will not be more tolerant towards comrades than he was back then...
He is almost sure that he will be alone for the rest of his life, and he has never thought about finding a new partner, because in his heart, he already has the most beautiful love, and he doesn't want to forget Yin to love other love affairs. Others, no matter who they are, will only be constantly compared in his heart, so it is better to let him keep those memories and spend the rest of his life alone.
He is a very timid person, he has been hurt and loved, so he doesn't want to try any more, he just hopes that he can hold his heart tightly and that's enough.
※※※
Just like that, while Tang Tan was thinking about that person, he arranged most of the herbs in his hands without stopping, and ate a bowl of rice brought by Senior Brother Wu. Braised eggs, topped with some marinade, although it is simpler, but there is nothing to be picky about, and then continue to work, until the end of the day's work until it is almost evening.
Tang Tan hurried to the evening market after finishing work. In ancient times, this was probably the most inconvenient point, because there was no refrigerator, many foods could not be stored for a long time, and their small family could not afford ice cubes to make ice If you want to eat any meat, you have to go to the market to buy it back for processing on the same day.
After walking around the evening market, Tang Tan hesitated for a while and bought half a chicken. He remembered that Tang Xiu seemed to be on her menstruation, and her complexion was not very good for a day or two, so she bought a chicken and went home to replace her. Replenish your body... She is still young, if she doesn't maintain her health well at this age, she will definitely suffer from a lot of diseases.
Carrying the half chicken wrapped in oiled paper towards the house, Tang Tan was thinking about what medicinal materials he had at home that he could use together with the medicinal materials he brought back today to make a tonic for Tang Xiu.
It takes about an hour to walk from the market to where they live.In ancient times, there were no bicycles or various means of public transportation. Although I bought a horse and a carriage to travel from the capital to Hangzhou, I sold them after I settled down.
They are not big families, and they are not like the protagonists in movies or costume dramas who roamed around in various cities and villages. If there were no wars in this era, many people would never leave their hometowns for the rest of their lives. Tang Tan felt that they Probably about the same.
He is not a person who likes to change. In his last life... count his life?His life is already full of too many unsatisfactory things, he just wants to spend it in peace and stability here.
Just as he was taking a shortcut through an alley, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, making him turn around subconsciously, and then he was bumped into by that reckless running figure, and the medicine bag and the chicken wrapped in oil paper fell on the ground. on the ground.
"Ah!" Tang Tan exclaimed, and the things in both hands were scattered on the ground.
The man gave Tang Tan an unhappy look, picked up his things and ran away in a hurry, his movements were very neat, and he disappeared without a trace after a while.
Are you running so fast because you want to reincarnate?And he hit it by himself, right?To give him a face, without even an apology, this quality...
Forget it, this year is not the era of popularization of knowledge, it's better not to ask too much, and it's fine if you don't get troubled and make trouble.
Tang Tan picked up his package, patted the dirt off the oil paper, and was about to leave when there was another sound of footsteps behind him. It sounded like there were more people this time, which made him turn his head again in doubt. A figure in dark purple clothes who looked like a guard ran over with a serious expression.
That clothes seemed familiar... Tang Tan thought for a while, and remembered that he had just seen it this morning, aren't these people the guards of that ancient master?
One of them, who looked like the leader of these guards, met Tang Tan's eyes, paused for a while, and walked towards Tang Tan.
"My lord, have you seen a suspicious-looking man in earth-colored cloth?" The man politely raised his fists to Tang Tan, but he asked urgently.
The earth-colored cloth clothes... the man who bumped into him and ran away in a hurry just now was wearing such clothes, right?
Seeing that a chase scene that he had seen before was being staged before him, and then he quickly compared the attitudes of the two sides, Tang Tan immediately leaned towards his immediate boss.
"Turn left at the alley ahead." Tang Tan didn't ask what was going on, too much gossip and curiosity would never end well, and this is not something he should know.
The guard nodded to thank him, and after a "chasing", he and those people disappeared before his eyes in a blink of an eye. He even saw one of the guards jumping up to the roof under the order of the man, as if to reach a high place. To scout the target, and this also made Tang Tan's eyes widen slightly.
This is... the legendary qinggong?He blinked, still feeling very incredible to see this kind of kung fu that can be said to be just a fantasy in the 21st century.
Could it be that there really is such a mysterious internal force martial skill?In his original era, internal energy, qigong, acupoints, etc., had only the function of health care and strengthening the body. It was really like the description in the novel, the internal energy or acupoint acupuncture in the body...
However, no matter what, it had nothing to do with him.
If we look at it in the 21st century, the imperial court is equivalent to a government unit, and Wulin is a private business circle. In this circle, there are white ways of doing business decently, and of course there are gangsters who fight and kill.Ordinary townspeople will not get involved here, and will not even have any contact for a lifetime. At most, they will just be an inconspicuous worker under these businesses, such as he is now, but he has no such opportunity To get sucked into the center of the vortex.
... Generally speaking.
Tang Tan could only hope so.
Just like the storylines in many novels or movies, the souls that do not belong to this era originally come to this place through time and space, and they must have their meaning of existence. But it must have its own rules of operation.
The timeline should be forward rather than retrograde, unless there is some reason for his future soul to come here, but he can't figure out what influence he can have on this era.
...Forget it, if you come here, you will be at peace, he is not the kind of person who is foolishly used by others and can't see it, so you won't let him come here to die again, right?If so, he would really have to think about whether he was some heinous villain in his previous life.
※※※
Thinking of returning home with a pile of what was left, Tang Xiu quickly brought a clean cloth towel for him to wipe off the dust from his day's work as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother Tan, this is..." After taking the hefty chicken and a small bag of broken silver from Tang Tan's hand, Tang Xiu showed some hesitation and confusion on his face.
"Shards of silver are the money from the sale of your embroidery last time. It sold for a good price. I took some to buy chicken. You take the chicken and wash it first, and I will get you a medicine tonic later. You need it these days Repair your body?" Tang Tan reached out to pat Tang Xiu's head after wiping his face and hands.
This remark made Tang Xiu look at him in shock and emotion, never expecting Tang Tan to treat her so kindly.
Although Tang Tan recognizes her as her younger sister, she still feels that Tang Tan is her master, and the deep-rooted servile nature cannot be eliminated in such a short period of time, but Tang Tan's considerate behavior today But it moved her.
After the young master woke up more than half a year ago, although he lost his memory, it was more like a different person. Not only his temperament was different, but also his habits were different. Tang Xiu observed secretly for a long time in amazement, and it was almost certain that He is not "Wen Qiufu".
But who else could it be if it wasn't Wen Qiufu?When the young master was in a coma, she was almost inseparable. She would only leave when she needed to bring medicine or meals for the young master. Could she drop someone in such a short period of time?And if it is someone who has other intentions for the prince, how can he ask to leave?
Layers of mysteries hung on the reborn young master, and Tang Xiu even had a fantasy, but he never dared to ask Tang Tan for confirmation of that thought.
On the one hand, she quite likes Tang Tan, who treats her like a real brother, who is gentle, calm, and restrained. On the other hand, she is afraid that if something is broken, this peaceful and peaceful life will be lost immediately.
And compared to being a slave, a clean and good citizenship like this is more precious. After all, although these years of life have already given her an indelible obedience, no one is born to like to be a slave. It's because people like to be treated with respect and kindness, and don't like the days when they are not seen as human beings.
So although she struggled to think that this person might not be Wen Qiufu at first, and was worried whether that disgusting and kind-hearted master would still exist in this world, but after thinking about it, maybe this is not a bad thing for the original Wen Qiufu, At least you don't have to face the prince's unfeeling anymore.
"Yes, Luxiu will go now." After Tang Xiu obediently responded, she looked at Tang Tan with a slightly helpless expression, and she also paused.After realizing her unconscious submissive tone, she still couldn't change it for a while, which also made her show a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Tang Tan tapped her on the head with his knuckles, and walked into the pharmacy without saying anything, intending to deal with the medicine package he grabbed back today.
Drugstores always classify all kinds of medicinal materials according to their grades. There are good quality products and there are also inferior ones. The Longevity Pharmacy is quite conscientious. In the shop, the medicinal materials are divided into five grades: extreme, excellent, high, general and inferior. Among them, low-quality products are not sold in longevity medicine stores, unlike some pharmacies that mix low-quality ginseng with higher-grade products for sale, or sell them to those who can only buy low-quality products for addition and subtraction because they can’t afford good medicine materials. people.
The low-quality products of Changsheng Pharmacy are usually used to dispense medicines for its employees or to help some poor families for free on a regular basis. Good reputation and charitable actions have also laid the foundation of a good reputation for generations of Changshenghou.
The same is true for the medicinal materials that Tang Tan brought back, as long as you tell the shopkeeper to register, you can take some at your discretion, and this is really to prevent someone from trying to sell these inferior products.
He took out the small medicine stove for stewing medicine, and then opened the medicine bag to clean and put it in, but when he opened the medicine bag, he was stunned for a moment, because it was not the medicinal materials he originally contained, but the dried herbs. Processed herbs.
what is this?
At first glance, it looks very ordinary, because the whole herb is brown after drying, Tang Tan really can't tell what it is, it is not the ones he is already familiar with, strictly speaking He is still just a novice, and there are many medicinal materials that he still can't tell the difference from, or he hasn't seen them before, so naturally he can't immediately see what they are.
He remembered that he just took a few fragments of common medicinal materials and stewed them into lieutenant general soup for Tang Xiu. This was one of the few prescriptions he remembered, because he used to grab this traditional Chinese medicine for his sister when Xiaoli was still alive. Stew tonic, even if it seems that this era has not yet appeared in this prescription.
He flipped through the prescription book in the shop a few days ago, but he didn't see the prescription of Lieutenant General Decoction, and he didn't seem to know it when he casually asked the master. It is mentioned that this prescription first appeared in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, and was then recorded in the official prescription.
When Wang Anshi reformed in the Northern Song Dynasty, drug control was also produced and sold by joint drug stores in the official cooperation system. Similar to public sales bureaus, Changsheng Pharmacy is a special, semi-official existence, but it is not an object that the government can interfere.
And the time when Lieutenant General Decoction appeared also seems to be during this time...
Tang Tan couldn't help having an absurd thought, maybe he brought this prescription?If that's the case, it's too ridiculous...
Thinking far away, he remembered that what he brought back was the medicinal material of Lieutenant General Tang, why did it turn into these few seemingly similar medicinal materials?Where did this come from?
After being dazed for a while, Tang Tan suddenly remembered what happened just now.
After the man bumped into him just now, their belongings were scattered all over the ground. The other party hurriedly picked up the package that looked similar and ran away, but he himself didn't pay much attention. Then came the group of guards... Tang Tan's expression turned serious , suddenly felt that the few unknown herbs in his hands became inexplicably heavy.
Maybe he's really in trouble...
After thinking for a while, Tang Tan still packed the medicinal herbs back intact. His intuition told him that this should be what the guards wanted to recover, and it was definitely not an ordinary medicinal herb that can be seen everywhere, at least, for those people.
Go and inquire with the shopkeeper tomorrow, shall we?Let's see if it belongs to the old man, and if he should return it.
After all, he is not sure whether the original owner of this thing is the old man, and he doesn't know who is right, although according to his perception and position, he is more inclined to his immediate boss who has never met.
He did not deny that, of course, he was thinking for a moment in his heart whether these few humble medicinal herbs were valuable, but he just collided with that person and met those guards, if they were really looking for these few herbs, sooner or later There is still a possibility that he will be found on his head, and it is better for him not to mess with himself.
It's just that what troubles him more now is that he can't make up for Tang Xiu, right?
