unlucky ghost

Tanxi has been living in the wine cellar since the beginning of winter.

Firstly, the wine cellar is not airtight, it is still a warm place, and there is still the smell of wine for a good night's sleep; secondly, Tanxi thinks that he is a ghost, and his body is a little bit darker, if he often hangs around in front of people, In the end is not good.

But he said that he wandered out of the wine cellar that day, leaned against the wall to avoid the sun, and wanted to come out to exercise his muscles and bones.

Passing through a screen, there were people coming and going in the kitchen, the kitchen knife in the old cook's hand was chopping loudly, two young men in rough clothes picked up a big bucket, walked behind Tanxi, and fell to the ground with a clatter of sewage.

Tan Xi hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, and walked away resentfully.

With three monsters and two turns, Tanxi saw that Tanzi was following Wang Jingshi to the backyard with a mournful face.

The two pushed open a large wooden door, and a smell of herbs and dust rushed over their faces.

Curiously, Tanxi stretched her head to look inside, and it turned out to be an old pharmacy, with various medicinal herbs densely packed in the shelves.

The medicine boxes painted with black lacquer are piled up in one place, sticking to the north wall all the way to the carved beam. There are no less than a hundred medicine boxes from left to right, and there are countless more.Each medicine box is very old, but it is very delicate. The dark pattern lacquer decoration on the groove of the handle is all labor-intensive, and the name of the medicine is neatly displayed with gold lacquer, which is dazzling.

Tan Xi smacked his mouth, the old ancestor of the Tan family really put his heart into it, I don't know if this old ancestor would be so angry that he would cheat his corpse if he knew that there was such an ignorant and incompetent prodigal son in the Tan family.

Tan Zishi looked up at the towering medicine box, his face was wrinkled like a skin that had just been crushed.

The little pigeon sighed: "Mr. Wang, this... this is too much, how can I remember?"

Wang Jingshi looked back at him, and closed the door with a bang, causing the little pigeons outside the door to jump in fright.

"How do you remember? Hmph..." Wang Jingshi snorted coldly, raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "This was decided by our ancestors, but for those who want to be in charge of the family, memorizing the medicine in this room is far from enough."

Wang Jingshi rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand and pointed out one by one, "These medicinal materials are only a few, and a few of them are the same." He walked over step by step, pointing and saying, "Up, middle, down, left, middle, right are all the same." Divided into nine grids, and each grid is subdivided into six or six 36 grids, a total of 320 four-flavored medicinal materials, except for the four-flavored ones, it is 320 flavors. Back then, your father only took half a day to remember the exact points, and at noon I can get medicine for people, is it possible that you can’t remember it after half a month, young master?”

Tan Zishi's face was stiff, and he said stiffly: "Who can't remember, I have already learned such a little medicine by heart."

Wang Jingshi smiled in satisfaction, stroked his beard and said: "Okay, as a teacher, I also believe that you are very knowledgeable and memorized, and you are smart, so it will come true. I wonder if the young master dares?"

Tanzi straightened his back and said, "Go ahead."

Wang Jingshi said with a smile: "Young master has been lazy and didn't come to the accountant these days. As a teacher, you can remember clearly. If you can really remember these medicinal materials clearly, then the teacher will not care about you. If... there is one that you can't remember, That means you are lying, you are lazy and lying, then you can only ask the master to discipline you in person."

Tanzi smiled and said: "Why bother the old man with such a trivial matter. Besides, the apprentice did not learn well, and the master is also at fault. Since you and I are both at fault, why do you only blame me?" Wang Jingshi stopped laughing, He glared at him angrily, and said: "What the young master said is very true. When I come back to understand the master, I have made a lot of mistakes as a teacher, and I really can't be the teacher of the young master."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zishi hurriedly grabbed Wang Jingshi's sleeve and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, don't get angry, you will hurt yourself if you get angry, you will hurt your body if you get angry."

Wang Jingshi tugged on his robe sleeve, but Tan Zi was so stubborn that he refused to let go.

Tan Zi smiled and said: "Sir, how can you have the same knowledge as me. Besides, no one is perfect, no gold has bare feet, and I didn't say that Master, you are not worthy of being a teacher."

Wang Jingshi pulled back his sleeves with all his strength, and said: "Young master, if you can spend a little more of your slick tongue in your studies, you won't be able to achieve nothing now. Although I say this is not pleasant, it is a good medicine. Good for the sick..."

Tanzi pouted, cut off Wang Jingshi's words, and said, "Master's principle is naturally correct, but if I do everything, my apprentice, wouldn't I be forced to stick to the rules. "

Wang Jingshi said helplessly: "That's all, if you talk about the principles, I think the principles of the ancient sages can't compare with yours."

Tan Zishi said humbly: "Don't dare, the master is the most reasonable person throughout the ages, and the apprentice is not talented, so I dare not stand up to you."

Wang Jingshi had developed a good temper early on, and he knew that talking to Tan Zishi was completely against the cow and playing the piano.

"Turn around, since you keep saying that you have memorized everything, then I will test it."

Tan Zishi turned around slowly, pretending to be confident.

"Angelica."

Tanzi said without even thinking about it: "To nourish blood, activate blood, regulate menstruation and relieve pain, moisten dryness and smooth intestines, it is mainly produced in Shaanxi and Shu. If I remember correctly, it should be the second one from the left in the third column."

Tanxi followed what he said and looked at it, it was really good.

The word "Danggui" was clearly written on the medicine box.

Wang Jingshi said again: "Ban Xia."

"Drying dampness and reducing phlegm, reducing adverse reactions and relieving vomiting, dispelling lumps and resolving stagnation, mainly produced in Shandong, the eighth from the right hand in the ninth column."

Wang Jingshi looked at the medicine cabinet with a stern face, but he was right again, his face was dark.

Although Tan Zishi is foolish in front of others, he has also put in a lot of effort in private.

Wang Jingshi wanted to ask again, but he heard a crisp sound of the big wooden door. Lingyu and Qinggu were standing outside the door with a smile, and said to Wang Jingshi: "Mr. Wang, congratulations, your Wang Wenhan has graduated from high school."

When Wang Jingshi heard this, his eyebrows and beard fluttered, and he said, "This... are you serious?"

Qing □□: "The list that Wen Zhong sent people to look at just now, how could it be fake?"

Wang Jingshi's brows were beaming with joy, he rushed out, and asked Lingyu, "Where is Wang Wenhan? Hurry up and come see me."

Lingyu Qinggu hurriedly followed and went to the front yard together.

Tanzi really wanted to cup his hands and say congratulations, but Wang Jingshi ran away early and disappeared.

The corners of Tan Zishi's mouth twitched. This old thing ran faster than a rabbit. He tilted his head and saw Jiang Han leaning against the window basking in the sun. He walked to the window with a smile, and smiled at Jiang Han through the window lattice: Han, why are you here?"

Jiang Han said with a smile: "Wang Wenhan passed the exam, so I followed the two of them to join in the fun."

But Tanxi had seen him standing outside a long time ago, probably to see his jokes.

Tan Zishi squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Jiang Han's face, suddenly took out the abacus made of red agate from his arms, leaned out with the window sill, and handed the abacus firmly to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han took it, and dialed it twice in his hand.

The watery agate beads collided with each other, making a jingling sound.

Jiang Han asked: "What is this?"

Tan Zishi stretched out his hand to touch the abacus with a smile, and the salty pig's hand rested on Jiang Han's clean and white knuckles without any trace, and said: "The eldest brother of the Liu family just sent it today, and he said it was rewarded by the court. The top-quality red agate was sent by him because he kept it for himself."

Jiang Han stroked the warm abacus beads with his index finger, but did not speak. After a while, he put the abacus back into his hand.

Tan Zi hurriedly held his hand, and refused, "This is for you."

Jiang Han said: "This is something from the Liu family, how can you just give it away?"

Tan Zishi squeezed his hand, and said with a faint smile: "What's the matter with the things of the Liu family? The things I don't care about the most are the things of the Liu family. Not to mention it's an abacus, it's a mountain of gold and silver. As long as you like it, I will give it to you." for you."

Jiang Han wanted to refuse again, but Tan Zishi held Jiang Han's hand tightly, "Just accept it, it's useless if I keep it."

On the veranda outside, a gust of wind blew over, and Jiang Han's hair fell on his shoulders, looking a little messy.

Tan Zishi stuffed the agate abacus into Jiang Han's lapel, cupped his hands through the window, moved them to his lips, rubbed them while steaming, and said, "It's cold outside, you should wear more."

Jiang Han frowned and looked at Tan Zishi, his eyes couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, he let him pause for a while before taking his hand back, and said lightly: "Master, please respect yourself."

Tanzi smiled on his face, then reached out to touch something in his clothes, and said: "You don't go out often, you have spoiled your health. When I have free time, I will take you out for more walks. The bones of your body can't just be like this." collapsed."

"Yeah." Jiang Han raised his hand and stroked his sleeve.

Tan Zishi stretched out his hand to remove the messy black hair on his shoulders, and suddenly hung a golden thing around his waist.

Jiang Han didn't notice either.

The wind blew for a while, and the two were relatively silent, so Jiang Han lifted his feet and walked back.

Seeing him walking away, Tanzi closed the window and took out a golden object from his pocket, but it was a sachet made of colored silk, exactly the same as the one just now.

But he said that Wang Wenhan thought that he didn’t have enough Chinese and ink in his chest, and that it was extremely difficult to get into the imperial examination. He was secretly sad and depressed for a few days, and had no intention of going to the accountant to manage the accounts.

At noon, Wang Wenhan was carrying a pile of bad-smelling hay from the woodshed to the stables, carefully chopped it with a big guillotine, and then carried it to the manger to feed the Qiyao horses.

The Qiyao horse is used to being pampered and pampered, and the little pigeon often accommodates it. If something goes wrong, just hum and the little pigeon will hurry up like a grandson, and it will feed him from time to time and tickle it. I am a beast, I just think of myself as a little master.

Qiyao Ma put his nose into the manger and sniffed left and right. He disliked the bad smell of hay, so he raised his chin and snorted continuously.

Wang Wenhan was squatting on the ground concentrating in a daze, thinking that if he went to the front yard, if he failed the ranking, he would lose his face when he saw someone, so he might as well stay with a bastard to save his face.

Seeing that he ignored him, Qiyaoma snorted twice again.

Only then did Wang Wenhan come to his senses, thinking it was choking, he casually put two ladles of cold water into the manger.

Qiyaoma gritted her teeth and hummed twice in his face.

Wang Wenhan didn't know what the horse was thinking, seeing that it splashed all the snot on his face, he raised his hand and slapped the horse's face aside.
