"What is this?" Lin Zhuwei asked puzzledly.

"open to take a look."

When Lin Zhuwei opened it, she was filled with surprise. It turned out to be the rare Tianshan Snow Lotus, which was priceless. No wonder it had to be put in an ice jade box.

"Zheng Zhizhou just gave me such a precious medicinal material?" Lin Zhuwei smiled, not hiding the satisfaction in his eyes.

Zheng Zhizhou chuckled, took a sip of the tea she handed over, and then said, "I am just offering a gift. The person who gave the gift is Zhu Qingyao."

Zhu Qingyao? Sounds familiar.

"Zhu Qingyao is my wife's niece. She is the wife that Feng Changsheng divorced on the grounds that she had no children." Zheng Bugao reminded.

After he said that, Lin Zhuwei remembered it.

But she was still confused. She had never met Zhu Qingyao, and if she had to say there was a connection, it would be that damned scumbag Feng Changsheng.

Lin Zhuwei glanced at the brocade box and said, "I have no relationship with Miss Zhu, so how can I afford such a valuable item?"

Zheng Bugao seemed to be in a good mood: "You can bear it. Qingyao suffered a lot of grievances in the Duke's Mansion. She has been married to Feng Changsheng for five years but her belly has not grown. The Feng family has invited dozens of doctors to see her, and they all said it was Qingyao's problem. She also took countless medicines just to give birth to a child."

Lin Zhuwei nodded, feeling sad for the woman he had never met.

She must have suffered countless hardships, been looked down upon, cried for many days and nights, but in the end she was still abandoned.

Here, women do not have the right to reproduce. In this era where bloodline inheritance is paramount, without a child to rely on, you can imagine how miserable her life is.

Zheng Bugao was indignant: "Qingyao was severely humiliated by Feng Changsheng and was sent back to her parents' home with a divorce letter. She almost committed suicide because of this."

"I didn't expect you to conclude right in the street that Feng Changsheng was the sick one. He couldn't have children, so he never had any offspring. And you also found out that he had an ill relationship. It's really gratifying!"

Lin Zhuwei's lips curled up slightly, showing some pleasure.

It turned out that my unintentional action helped Zhu Qingyao vent her anger and get revenge. No wonder she was so generous.

"In that case, please trouble Governor Zheng to thank Miss Zhu on my behalf."

Lin Zhuwei was no longer polite and collected the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Master was there, so it would be good to use it to nourish his body.

Zheng Bugao drank his tea and nodded.

Lin Zhuwei asked again: "I wonder what the matter is that Zheng Zhizhou came here in person today?"

It definitely wasn't a gift specifically for her. Lin Zhuwei had some self-awareness on this point.

Zheng Bugao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I would like to ask Doctor Lin to come with me and help me see someone."

"To your house?"

Zheng Bugao shook his head and said softly, "Go to Jianghuai."

Lin Zhuwei frowned and refused without even thinking: "Zheng Zhizhou, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request."

Zheng Bugao did not expect to be rejected. His face changed and he frowned, saying, "Doctor Lin, you don't understand the situation yet. I don't know who invited you..."

"No matter who it is, I won't go over there." Lin Zhuwei's tone was cold, but her attitude was firm.

The round trip from here to Jianghuai would take seven or eight days just by horseback, not to mention she didn't know the patient's condition yet, so she didn't have that much time to waste.

Zheng Bugao felt a little headache. He really felt that this girl was a little ungrateful.

By rejecting so thoroughly, there is no need to worry about offending anyone.

But this was something he needed help with, and it was not the first time they had met, so he knew Lin Zhuwei's character very well.

This girl is soft-hearted and will not tolerate toughness. If you really make her angry, she will not follow him even if a knife is put to her neck.

Therefore, Zheng Bugao adjusted his mentality in time and softened his voice: "Doctor Lin has something important to do recently? Let's see if Zheng can help."

Lin Zhuwei looked at him deeply, knowing that he was also determined, so she stopped hiding it: "Zheng Zhizhou, I'm afraid I can't love you enough, I'm going to leave here for a while."

She glanced at Old Man Jia who was sweeping fallen leaves in the yard, and thought that there was no time to delay in finding the San Sheng Fruit and Yun Tian Lotus.

Zheng Bugao was determined to get to the bottom of the matter: "Doctor Lin, where are you going? I happen to have a thousand-mile horse that can take you there."

Lin Zhuwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to Huhe City."

Huhe City is crowded with merchants, with prosperous markets, and the Medicine Merchants Association is the most prosperous. Maybe if she tries her luck there, she might find the medicinal materials she wants.

Zheng Bugao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What medicinal herbs are you going to buy? Have you found a buyer?"

Lin Zhuwei didn't expect Zheng Bugao to be so smart. She said in surprise, "We haven't found a buyer yet."

Zheng Bugao was now confident, and pointed at the ice jade box with a smile: "Zhu Qingyao's father is the president of the Huhe City Pharmacy Association. If you want to buy something, you can't go wrong by asking him for help."

No wonder Zhu Qingyao gave such a precious Tianshan Snow Lotus to an outsider like her without even thinking twice.

Lin Zhuwei's eyes were shining. Being able to get in touch with the president of the Pharmaceutical Association was something she had always wanted. It would be twice the result with half the effort.

Zheng Bugao is his brother-in-law. If he is willing to speak up, the president will definitely not refuse. It will be better than running around like a headless fly.

"Is Magistrate Zheng willing to help me with this?" Lin Zhuwei asked directly.

"Draw the herbs you need, and I'll send someone to deliver them to Zhu Feiliu first. Ask him to keep an eye on them." Zheng Bugao played with the teacup, and said in a tone that could not be refused, "You will set off with me to Jianghuai tomorrow."

Having said that, it would be ungrateful to refuse.

Lin Zhuwei nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Governor Zheng. Please sit for a moment. I'll go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

After saying that, she bowed and left. After a while, she fetched pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and based on her memory of having seen the images in Old Man Jia's album, she sketched the San Sheng Fruit and Yun Tian Lotus.

Zheng Bugao took the drawing paper, looked at it, then rolled it up and put it in his sleeve pocket: "I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

"it is good."

Seeing that Lin Zhuwei agreed readily, Zheng Bugao felt relieved and left.

Old man Jia looked at Zheng Bugao's back, his eyes deep, as if he had a thousand words to say.

"Master, are you hungry? I'll go cook for you." Lin Zhuwei said with a smile.

Old man Jia concealed the strangeness in his eyes and said calmly: "No hurry. Is that Zheng Bugao?"

Lin Zhuwei was surprised: "Master, do you know Zheng Zhizhou?"

Old Man Jia said calmly: "I have heard of his reputation."

Lin Zhuwei had no doubts: "Master, Zheng Zhizhou asked me to go to Jianghuai for a consultation. I will leave tomorrow. I am afraid I will have to leave here for a while."

Old Man Jia frowned and said, "Master has told you that he doesn't want you to have much contact with people in the officialdom."

Lin Zhuwei held onto Old Man Jia's hand and said softly, "Master, I know you are doing this for my own good, and you are afraid that I will suffer because of my temper. But Master, I have to go this time. Zheng Zhizhou and Zhu Feiliu from Huhe City are brothers-in-law, and he may be able to help me find the Sansheng Fruit and Yuntian Lotus."

"Zhu Feiliu? President of the Huhe City Pharmacy Association?"

Old Man Jia frowned. In order to find medicine, he had secretly inquired about Zhu Feiliu's situation. He was a decent person.

But businessmen are always profit-oriented. If it weren't for Zheng Bugao's recommendation, it would have been difficult for Lin Zhuwei to meet him without any relatives or friends.

"Yes." Lin Zhuwei nodded, but a little worried, "But Master, I don't know how long it will take me to come back this time. Can you hold on?"

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Old Man Jia knew that he couldn't stop her, so he could only reassure her: "Don't worry, your master is not that weak. You helped me recuperate for a while last time, it won't take my life for a while."

Lin Zhuwei smiled and said, "Master, during this period of time, I will leave my Dao Heart to you."

Old man Jia said with a cold face, glanced at Daoxin who was still playing Cuju, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

There was a flash of cruelty in his eyes, but Lin Zhuwei didn't notice anything.

Old man Jia snorted in his heart and almost forgot about this little bastard.

If you cage a wolf and a little rabbit together, do you think the delicate little rabbit can escape unscathed?

Lin Zhuwei naturally didn't know what he was really thinking.

After thinking it over, he still felt uneasy, so he set off to visit the Yin Mansion.

Yin Xunheng was quite surprised to see her come forward on her own initiative.

He longed to see her, but he knew that this star was too bright and he was not worthy to pluck it.

But if you haven’t tried hard, how do you know that you don’t have a chance?

So for the first time he had the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination. During this period of time, he studied hard behind closed doors, hoping that one day he would have enough courage to walk side by side with her.

However, Lin Zhuwei naturally didn't know about Yin Xunheng's thoughts.

But when she entered the room, the resentful look beside him stared at her, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
