After Ming Zhiyuan agreed to stay again, City Lord Liuye treated him as practicing in the City Lord's Mansion in order to allow him to stay with peace of mind.
He asked the chief steward to lead him to a medicine warehouse in the city lord's palace, and asked Ming Zhiyuan to select medicinal materials and treasures from heaven and earth to refine elixirs and practice Taoism.
Ming Zhiyuan was not polite and directly took a few servants from the city lord's palace to move a lot of medicinal materials back to the alchemy room.
From that day on, he stayed in the alchemy room almost day and night. Even the Lord of Liuye City saw the green smoke curling up on the roof every time he came to visit his son, and couldn't help but praise his diligent cultivation.
Endless.
These days, Yu Yizhi returns to Youfu every other day. When he comes back, he goes to the alchemy room and mumbles with Ming Zhiyuan for a while before coming out.
Thanks to Yu Yizhi's constant messages, Ming Zhiyuan also had a clear understanding of the situation at home.
Yang Yiling and Lan Yu had already accepted the small vein of spirit stone from Liu Mansion on Beishan Mountain, as well as the mining stewards and workers given to them by Liu Mansion.
Yang Yiling asked the mine manager to arrange for workers to dig out all the spiritual stones, transport them to the backyard of Youfu, and store them. There has never been a shortage of spiritual stones in the iron house, the kind of large jade used to collect spiritual fluids.
The bottle has been filled with more than a dozen bottles.
Yu Yizhi went back and forth between the two sides and brought the spiritual liquid to the City Lord's Mansion for Ming Zhiyuan to borrow the heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the City Lord's Mansion to refine it into a great elixir, and then brought the refined elixir back to You Mansion again and again.
Seeing before his eyes, after Ming Zhiyuan lived in the city lord's mansion for more than ten days, Liu Peixin's broken leg was finally able to stretch and contract freely.
Such a fast recovery speed was something neither Liuye City Lord nor Liu Peixin expected.
Ming Zhiyuan worked day and night refining the elixir, almost emptying out the medicine store where he could choose any medicinal materials. After seeing that Liu Peixin could stand up on crutches, he said goodbye to the Lord of Liuye City again. This time, the Lord of Liuye City
She didn't force him to stay anymore. Seeing such a remarkable effect of the elixir, she couldn't go too far. Offending such a successor of a miraculous doctor would only do harm to her, not good.
Liuye City Lord asked the housekeeper to prepare many reward gifts and personally delivered Ming Zhiyuan to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
After returning to You Mansion, several people opened the wooden boxes given by City Lord Liu one by one and saw that they were all rare medicinal materials or treasures from heaven and earth.
After Lan Yujun looked at everything, he said with some dissatisfaction: "With just a few things, Brother Zhiyuan cured her son's crippled leg and allowed her son to practice martial arts again. It was like giving her a gift."
A perfect son.
She actually gave such a small gift of thanks? How stingy, it’s not as good as the Liu Mansion, they also gave me a vein of spirit stone, although it’s a little too small, but it’s still a vein after all, isn’t it?”
Ming Zhiyuan smiled and ignored her, while Yu Yizhi and Yang Yiling were packing up the things on the table, he said to her: "Why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask City Lord Liu if he can also give us a vein of spirit stone?
?”
"I won't ask her for it." After saying that, Lan Yujun walked up to Ming Zhiyuan again and looked at him with a mysterious smile, "Brother Zhiyuan, after living in the City Lord's Mansion for so long, I saw City Lord Liu
Your daughter?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at her inexplicably, "Does City Master Liu have a daughter? Why didn't I know?"
Lan Yujun raised his eyebrows with an expression of disbelief, "Liuye City has been recruiting brides for generations. How can you recruit a bride if you don't have a daughter?"
"I didn't see any city lord's daughter refining elixirs every day, or else I saw City Lord Liu and her son."
"That's not right." Lan Yujun raised her little face and said with some confusion: "This generation of Liuye City Lord has two girls and one boy. You have lived in the City Lord's Mansion for so long, it's impossible that you haven't seen her daughter.
"
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly and patted her head, "What are you thinking about in your little head every day? I go to treat people, not to see their daughters."
Yu Yizhi looked at the two people talking with a smile, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "I have been wandering around the city lord's mansion for the past few days, and I really haven't found any trace of other female family members living in the city lord's mansion, except for
Apart from the courtyard where City Lord Liu lives and the several warehouses, I have walked around other places, but I really haven’t found any other courtyards where the female family members live in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
"No, no, no." Lan Yujun said three wrong words in a row, and then said with a sure face: "City Lord Liu must have two daughters. After my mother passed away, my father wanted to renew his marriage a few years ago.
When I marry a stepmother, I originally fell in love with the youngest daughter of City Lord Liuye and asked someone to propose marriage."
"Oh, what happened next?"
"Later? Later, City Master Liu looked down on Senlan City. He felt that Senlan City was an independent city and a big city that didn't even have an acropolis. It couldn't be considered a big city, so he didn't agree to my father's proposal of marriage.
He returned all the betrothal gifts and gave some more gifts. He said that because Senlan City is located in high mountains and has few treasures, these things were considered as Liuye City's help to Senlan City. My father was so angry that he didn't have a good meal for several days.
"
Lan Yujun snickered as he spoke. It seemed that his father was rejected and even Senlan City was looked down upon. This was a very funny thing.
After hearing what she said, Yu Yizhi, Yang Yiling, and Ming Zhiyuan all began to be a little confused.
Since City Lord Senlan proposed marriage to Liuye City, it means that City Lord Liu must have a daughter, and more than one. According to the rules of Liuye City, the position of City Lord has always been passed down only to daughters. If City Lord Liu only has one daughter, Senlan
The city lord will never propose marriage. After all, it is a marriage. No matter how remote Senlan City is and lacks material resources, it is still a big city. He is also the lord of a city, so it is impossible for him to marry into a child.
That means that the Lord of Liuye City has at least two daughters, which is consistent with Lan Yujun's statement that the Lord of Liuye City has two daughters and one boy.
However, Yu Yizhi has been walking around the city lord's mansion these days and has become familiar with the people in the mansion. He has not heard a word about the two daughters of the city lord from his servants.
Yu Yi once thought that the Lord of Liuye City only had one son, Liu Peixin.
The three of them looked at each other, and Yang Yiling clenched his teeth and said, "This is strange. Could it be that something happened to the two daughters of Liuye City Lord in the past few years? Or did they go to study under a master?"
"Even if something happens or they go to study under a teacher, it's impossible that there won't even be an embroidery building for the two young ladies in such a huge city lord's palace, right?"
Yu Yizhi shook his head repeatedly, and Ming Zhiyuan thought carefully about it. In addition to dealing with the affairs of the city lord, the Lord of Liuye City would always be with his son every day, and it didn't look like he had two daughters.
"Little girl, how many years ago did your father propose marriage to Liuyecheng?" Ming Zhiyuan looked at Lan Yujun and asked.
Lan Yujun tilted her little head, thought for a moment, and said: "Four or five years ago, at that time... I remember, just after my tenth birthday, my father said that he would find me another mother.
Honey, because of this, I threw away all the jade pendants he gave me, but he still went to propose marriage."
The little girl was fuming as she spoke, as if she was still angry about that incident.
"Four or five years? I think Liu Peixin is in his early thirties now. Four or five years ago, he was at most twenty-five or six years old. Then his sister should be an old girl in her thirties by now. I haven't heard of it.
Going to Liucheng is mainly about recruiting new wives."
Yang Yiling has been searching around Liuye City for news during this period, but he has never heard of the city lord recruiting a son-in-law in Liuye City in the past few years.
Lan Yujun looked at the three people and said doubtfully: "What's wrong? The Lord of Liuye City didn't recruit a new wife, maybe it's the same as my father. She doesn't like her daughter."
Ming Zhiyuan looked at this little girl and suddenly felt that she might have told the truth.
