Chapter 54
Mr. Miao felt guilty because of his personal relationship with Yun Qi. The next time Xie Zhaozhao came to his yard, he was polite, for fear that Xie Zhaozhao would get angry.

But Xie Zhaozhao was very quiet. He wrote medical notes every day and even rolled up his sleeves to help him handle the medicinal materials. He looked diligent and studious.

While Mr. Miao breathed a sigh of relief, he was also very wise and would give Xie Zhaozhao some tips on how to use medicinal materials from time to time.

It was very hot at noon. Mr. Miao fell asleep after cutting the ginseng beards, so he lay down under the big tree in the courtyard to take a lunch break.

Xie Zhaozhao was sitting in the corridor, holding the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in one hand and holding medicinal materials in the other hand to identify them.

Mr. Miao looked at it with half-squinted eyes for a while, and then suddenly said: "That's a patchouli, not a scented flower. Don't mistake it."

"Huoxiang." Xie Zhaozhao repeated, nodding seriously, "I remember it, and I won't admit my mistake."

"Yes." Mr. Miao responded lazily.

Next, Xie Zhaozhao took other herbs, and he lazily mentioned their usage and taboos.

After just reminding him for half an hour, Mr. Miao's sleepiness was gone and he was no longer sleepy.

He crossed his legs, picked up the big cattail leaf fan and shook it, "Girl, you want to study medicine?"

"Isn't it possible?" Xie Zhaozhao took a piece of chopped Polygonum multiflorum, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, "I want to learn."

In her previous life, she was too lazy and didn't want to touch anything except martial arts. She had no ability other than fists and kicks when encountering problems.

She didn't want that in this life.

As the old saying goes, if you have too many skills, it’s always better to learn more.

Mr. Miao said slowly: "Practicing medicine cannot be accomplished in a day or two."

"I understand." Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said: "You can't learn anything quickly. It's just like my martial arts practice. I have been practicing in the winter since I was a child and practicing in the summer. After more than ten years, I can barely get by."

"Practicing medicine also requires accumulation over time. Although I am not young now, if I put in more practice and accumulate it slowly, I will always see some results over time."

"Well, not bad." Mr. Miao nodded approvingly, "You take your time and recognize it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and joked, "Sir, didn't you say that I am my master's apprentice, not yours, and you won't teach me anything?"

"You want to open a dyeing workshop to give you some color, right?" Mr. Miao said with a stinky face, "I want to point out to you that it is your blessing, but you are still out of breath?"

"Don't dare!" Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "I must take this blessing. Thank you sir first."

Mr. Miao snorted and looked away, thinking, if you weren't King Dingxi's sweetheart, I really wouldn't care about you.

Who asked King Dingxi to help him find his daughter? He has already found out some information.

Just think of it as reciprocating a favor.

……

That day Yun Qi pressed the blood veins of Xie Zhaozhao's arm. Xie Zhaozhao wrote down the order of the blood veins. He also looked through Mr. Miao's medical books and pharmacopeias, but found no clues.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that maybe the technique was a unique secret technique, so it might not be recorded in medical books that everyone could see.

Hot air floated in her Dantian, and her internal strength returned to [-]%.

It seems that Yun Qi didn't lie to her either.

This made Xie Zhaozhao feel a little more at ease.

Anyway, I have a lot of time at home now, and my inner strength will come back sooner or later, so it is better to think less and focus more on business.

Xie Xingchen seemed to be comforted by Chu Nanxuan again.

Chu Nanxuan did not come forward to arrange a yard for Chu He.

But Xie Xingchen obviously couldn't stand his son living in a shabby place like Beicheng, so he secretly asked someone to buy a yard elsewhere.

How could Xie Zhaozhao make her wish?
Dou and Xie Xingchen sent people out, and Xie Zhaozhao immediately sent Hongxiu and his people to chase and intercept them.For ten consecutive days, Hongxiu led his men to intercept Xie Xingchen's men three times.

Every time I go there, I just take out my account book and calculate the money.

If people from the Xie Xingchen sect want to reason with them, then report them to the officials and go to the Yamen to reason with them.

Xie Xingchen had to worry about Chu He's identity and did not dare to confront Xie Zhaozhao. He gave in several times and was so angry that he was almost smoking.

In the afternoon of this day, the sky turned gray and soon it started to rain.

Xie Zhaozhao was a little lazy today, so he rested in Wangyue Tower and did not go to Mr. Miao's place.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down to take a nap, Xie Xingchen's voice sounded in the yard.

"Thank Zhaozhao! Come out, come out!"

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, stood up and leaned towards the window. He saw Xie Xingchen blocked in the yard by Hong Xiu and others, with an overly beautiful face that was almost twisted with anger.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhaozhao asked in a casual tone: "You are so angry that your face is distorted. It's really ugly."

"You -" Xie Xingchen's face turned even livid, he pointed at Xie Zhaozhao and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want? I just want to buy a house to settle the orphans on the battlefield, but you go and make trouble again and again!"

"Am I making trouble?"

Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "I'm just settling accounts with you and my second aunt. You owe Mr. Xie 8 taels. After paying off the 8 taels, even if you buy the palace, it has nothing to do with me."

"Second sister, instead of coming to me so angry and screaming, you should think of a way to pay back the money you owe Mr. Zhong as soon as possible, and we can all be well."

Xie Xingchen wanted to rush forward and tear Xie Zhaozhao's smiling face into pieces.

8 taels!
How could she and Dou get it?

Moreover, even if they had saved a small treasury over the years, occasionally provided some support to the Jiangnan Dou family, and sometimes even received some subsidies for Chu Nanxuan, they still would not have lost so much as 8 taels!

Xie Zhaozhao was obviously a lion who opened his mouth wide and took the opportunity to have an attack!

Why in the end?

In the past, Xie Zhaozhao had always followed her, and Xie Zhaozhao had no objection to her, but now it has become like this!

Could it be that Xie Zhaozhao discovered his affair with Chu Nanxuan?

But they had been cautious, and it was impossible for Xie Zhaozhao to——

"I'm very sleepy." Xie Zhaozhao waved his hand, "Hongxiu, please send my second sister away. I want to rest."

After saying that, Xie Zhaozhao lazily turned around and threw himself on the bed.

Xie Xingchen's angry shouts were quickly lost.

Xie Zhaozhao yawned and fell asleep after a while.

I didn't wake up until two hours after falling asleep.

This resulted in her not being sleepy at all at night, so she could only sit at the table and carefully read the medical instructions given to her by Mr. Miao to look at the so-called difficult and complicated diseases.

In the middle of the night, the flames of the candlestick on the table flickered. Xie Zhaozhao yawned, threw down the book, and stood up to close the window.

When he walked to the window, a figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Xie Zhaozhao hanging upside down.

Xie Zhaozhao was so surprised that he forgot to scream.

The man turned over neatly, covered Xie Zhaozhao's mouth, turned around and closed the window with a "snap".

The scent of ambergris hit his nostrils, and Yun Qi pressed his lips to Xie Zhaozhao's ear, "Shh."
