Hearing her words, Zhuang Ziqi snorted and said, "What's there to be disappointment about me? I'm just passing the time when I have nothing to do."

He would not admit that he liked Gu Jiu so much, and believed that she was a good material for studying medicine. He also knew that he would not live here for too long, so he planned to teach what he had learned in his life as much as possible within a limited time.

But if he didn't say it, it didn't mean that Gu Jiu didn't understand.

Therefore, when he heard Zhuang Ziqi's words, Gu Jiu just curled his lips and smiled, responded: "What you said is that I am too concerned and seeking knowledge is thirsty. If you disturb you, please forgive me."

This attitude was quite correct, which made Zhuang Ziqi's expression improve a lot, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, I have always been generous and don't mind this."

He said this, and then paused and added: "Besides, I rely on you for food and drink now, even if I teach you the rent."

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Jiu's face deepened a little, and he responded: "In this way, I'm taking advantage of the teacher."

Now she has felt some of Zhuangziqi's temper and knows that the other party has some quirks, but she doesn't care. Dealing with such an old man is actually very simple. As long as you don't beat around the bush and have a sincere heart, there will be no problem.

Even if he would be squeezed for a few words, Gu Jiu knew that he didn't really think that way in his heart.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu remembered another thing and pondered: "Sir, I had a question before, which was about medical skills. I would like to ask you to answer one or two."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi raised his hand and said, "Tell me, look."

Gu Jiu recalled the medicine smelled in Lin's room that day and said carefully: "May this medicinal herb, money lotus seed, be used for damp heat betting?"

When Zhuang Ziqi heard this, he did not answer immediately, but just asked back: "What do you think?"

Gu Jiu knew that he was going to take the test, so he said according to his own understanding: "According to what I think, it is naturally not possible. After all, the first thing to do is to remove dampness and dissipate heat, but this money lotus seed is a hot drug. After using it, isn't it added fuel to the fire? But I saw a doctor prescribe like this before, and I was a little confused for a while, so I wanted to ask the teacher to give me some advice."

After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Zhuang Ziqi smiled and said gently: "What you said is not bad, but there is another saying in our medical skills, which is called using poison to fight poison. Although this lotus seed is hot, if the prescription is prescribed, it can not only remove dampness and heat, but also have miraculous effects, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

As soon as this was said, Gu Jiu suddenly realized and nodded, "So that's it. It turns out that I am so ignorant that I almost showed off my skills."

But she was thinking about it in her heart. Just now, Zhuang Ziqi said about her and Qin Zheng, and that was definitely not polite.

If she really brought Qin Zheng, Zhuang Ziqi would probably be willing to take Qin Zheng's pulse.

I just don’t know if it would be the same if it were the Lin family.

She was thinking randomly in her heart, thinking about how to tactfully tell the Lin's diagnosis, but she might as well hear Zhuang Ziqi say, "It's not that you are a little ignorant, but what I just mentioned is a different approach."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously: "But with the advice of sir."

Zhuangziqi knew that she was humble in her studies and did not hide her own selfishness, so she explained: "All things in this world are mutually reborn and restrained, and herbs are like the five elements. For example, although this money lotus seed can remove dampness and dissipate heat as I said, this premise is based on the situation of mutual generation with other drugs. Using poison to fight poison, after all, balance is very important. If this balance is broken, it will not only fail to work, but also have a negative effect."

He said this and said, "As for what I said just now, using it as medicine is a sword to go wrong, because the money lotus seeds are included in the heat dissipation prescription, there are too many things that are incompatible, so most people will not use it."

After hearing what Zhuang Ziqi said, Gu Jiu frowned slightly. At that moment, she always felt that she had grasped some clue.

But the clue slipped away instantly, making her a little confused, and just asked, "You said, what will happen if it is in conflict?"

"What are the consequences? That's too many."

When Zhuangziqi talked about these things, he was not bothered at all. He said as a few of them: "Just talking about these mutually incompatible things, there are different things in the flowers and plants. For example, honeysuckle, such as heartbreaking grass, or Gansuizi, they are all incompatible with money and lotus seeds. Moreover, if the mild ones are not breathing smoothly, the condition worsens, and if the severe ones, they can take human life silently."

When he said this, he saw Gu Jiu suddenly holding his breath, interrupting him as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Sir, if I remember correctly, Gan Suizi, can you incense?"

The Gu family started with spices, and recently developed new cosmetics with Mr. Xiang and others, so they naturally knew about this thing.

Although she didn't know what she thought of, Gu Jiu's sudden white face, Zhuang Ziqi's smile also restrained a little, and he said seriously: "No, it can be incense, and it's very widely used, what's wrong?"

But before he finished speaking, Gu Jiu suddenly stood up and said with a serious expression: "Sir, I'll go back to get some spices. Please help me with my palms and eyes, can I have a look?"

She rarely looks so reckless and solemn, so Zhuang Ziqi did not refuse, just said, "Go, go, come back quickly."

After receiving the promise from Zhuangziqi, Gu Jiu no longer dared to waste time, so he turned around and ran outside.

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Ziqi couldn't help but shake his head and said in confusion: "Why is this little girl so anxious?"

He thought of this and sorted out Gu Jiu's words just now, then frowned slightly again. Could it be that her relatives used the prescription and spices at the same time?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Ziqi's smile also calmed down, and his expression brought a little worry.

...

Gu Jiu came back very quickly.

When she went there, she asked the coachman to go back as fast as possible. When she got her home rummaging through the cabinet and found the sachets given by Lin, she came back impatiently.

During this period, even when Madam Zhao asked about her situation, Gu Jiu blocked her from saying "Let's talk about it later".

It was a coincidence. Before, because Gu Jiu praised the smell of the incense, Lin asked the maid to give her a pack.

At that time, Gu Jiu refused, but he refused but he just took it away.

It's convenient for her now.

Seeing that Gu Jiu had only half an hour of running back and forth, he knew that she must have been delayed for a moment, so Zhuang Ziqi also had a little more solemn expression on his face: "Have it been taken back?"

At this moment, Zhuang Ziqi had already figured it out and looked more serious.

Gu Jiu directly presented the spice with both hands and said respectfully: "Sir, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi nodded, and said nothing more. He just crushed the incense, pinched it a little and sniffed it at the end of his nose, then took out some tools and soaked it in water.

Gu Jiu was waiting aside, feeling his heart hang up.

Now she had a bold idea in her heart, but she felt extremely shocked.

If someone really touched Lin's medicine, wouldn't someone deliberately do it for her death in her previous life?

But she also found it absurd. After all, Qin Zheng is the Lin family's own son. With this backer, even Fang Qing dares to do some small moves secretly. Who would dare to murder Lin family?

So when he heard Zhuangziqi say that serious mutual restraint would cost human life, Gu Jiu was a little nervous.

What if someone is really hurting Lin?

However, the results of Zhuangziqi's trial told her that she was thinking too much.

"Your nose is sensitive. There is indeed Gansuizi in it, but it is its shell, not its seed."

After hearing what Zhuang Ziqi said, Gu Jiu was slightly stunned and asked, "What is the difference between these two?"

She has just started out now and has not learned anything too profound. She has never been exposed to these things like Zhuang Ziqi said.

Seeing Gu Jiu’s doubts, Zhuangziqi put down the small medicine bowl in his hand and patiently explained to her: “Gansuizi can be used as medicine or incense, but its shell is different. It cannot be used as medicine, but only incense. The prices of the two are very different, so some merchants will use the shell to incense in order to save money. The taste is similar, but because it has no medicinal properties, it can only be used as ordinary spices without the effect of calming the mind.”

After hearing this, Gu Jiu finished speaking, hesitantly asked, "Then, if it cannot be used as medicine, is there no restraint?"

"right."

Zhuang Ziqi nodded and replied: "It is not incompatible with money and lotus seeds, so you don't have to worry."

After hearing this, Gu Jiu also let go of his heart, but he was a little confused. Could it be that she was too sensitive and thought too much?

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Ziqi smiled again and said, "Although the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint does exist, there are really few people who can use it very well. Besides, this method is slow and troublesome. There are not necessarily many people who have the patience, and you don't have to think too much."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu nodded and said with a smirk: "It was me who was rash and causing trouble for the sir."

She probably thought too much, not to mention anything else, just because of Lin's background and Qin Zheng's status in the Duke of Ming Dynasty, the Qin family could not murder the Lin family. After all, this was not worth the loss.

But Lin looked haggard and thought that she had not had much time left, so Gu Jiu thought wrongly and thought she was really murdered.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but be glad. Fortunately, she came to Zhuang Ziqi in private, otherwise if Qin Zheng knew about it, she would have thought that she was deliberately cursing Lin.

As soon as she thought of this, she saw Bai Shao and the others bringing out the food and said with a smile: "Sir, Miss, it's time to have a meal."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi stood up and went to the small dining room first. Gu Jiu threw this matter behind his head and followed him with him.

After all, it’s good that Lin is fine, she can let go of her heart.

I just have to think of a way to see how I could ask Zhuang Ziqi to agree to help me go over for a medical treatment.

Although, after reading it, you may also give a helpless answer to Lin’s family, but in the end, there are more people, and you can have more hope.

...

But Gu Jiu didn't expect that she hadn't stayed in Meiyuan for too long.

After dinner in the afternoon, Gu Jiu was asking Zhuang Ziqi for questions about medical books, and saw the servant at home coming and reply.

"Miss, the house is starting to make trouble. Madam Zhao said she would like to ask you to go back."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the trouble at home?"

The servant didn't know clearly, so he just said vaguely: "Madam Zhao said she asked the young man to come and invite you. It seemed that the Duke of the State didn't find you, so she went to find the wife again..."

He was guarding the house and did not serve him in the room. He had no idea what the Duke of the State said, but seeing Madam Zhao's hurrying look, it was probably a small matter.

After hearing the servant's words, Gu Jiu had no intention of doing anything else. He immediately said goodbye to Zhuang Ziqi, and he took a carriage back home.

She was very anxious along the way, and Gu Jiu frowned. She knew who Madam Zhao was. If it weren't for the fact that Madam Zhao was, Madam Zhao wouldn't have let the servant come to invite her.

But what did the Duke of the State ask for himself to do?

Logically speaking, he is a father-in-law, and even if there is something, he should let his mother-in-law tell him.

Could it be that Fang Qing filed a lawsuit?

Gu Jiu had many thoughts in his mind, but he had no idea at all. He was more anxious and ordered the coachman to hurry up.

After getting the Duke's Mansion, he arrived at the Chuhua Gate. Gu Jiu jumped out of the carriage and quickly returned to Guijiuyuan.

"Mum, what happened?"

Seeing Gu Jiu come back, Madam Zhao hurriedly came up and saluted, "Miss, you are back."
