Chapter 875 Be worthy of yourself

On the third day after Xue Mei returned, the old man of the Lu family died.

Xue Mei caught up with him for the last time.

It’s a pity that he was drowsy at that time and did not recognize Xue Mei.

In other words, he actually didn't see Xue Mei, nor did he say a word to Xue Mei.

Very regrettable.

The old man has been ill for two years, and the matters of the Lu family have been clearly divided, and the old man has also explained everything he should have done.

Everyone in the Lu family was mentally prepared. As soon as the old man left, the mourning hall was arranged in an orderly manner.

Xue Mei received a thick filial piety dress and knelt in the pile of filial sons and grandsons.

In theory, according to generation, Xue Mei did not need to be filial to the old man, because the old man was also her disciple, and she recognized the ancestor of the Lu family as her master.

However, Xue Mei is a young junior and a world-famous miracle doctor in this industry. She is willing to give filial piety to the old man, which is the decentness of the Lu family.

No one reminded him, so he let Xue Mei kneel down like that.

Because he wanted to keep a filial piety for the old man, Xue Mei didn't care about seeing him.

In the space where the Lu family was in power, Xue Mei went to his second uncle.

The second uncle's house also changed his house. Now he is a decent high-ranking official family with a wide courtyard, more than five or six times larger than before, and his location is also very good, and he is also at the foot of the imperial city.

"You should have come back long ago." Uncle Er said to Xue Mei, "If it weren't for the general and the prince's face, the throne should have changed hands."

When Xue Mei heard this, she understood: over the years, the second uncle has been dissatisfied with the emperor. He is no longer the emperor's subject, but the general and the king.

Xiao Jingcheng undermined the emperor from all aspects, making the courtiers disappointed him and lost confidence.

Even a loyal person like the second uncle knows that it is only a matter of one sentence to change his master.

They no longer have any fantasies about the emperor.

"I have serious things in Chu State." Xue Mei said, "Second uncle, you may not know yet. My eldest brother is the ninth prince of Chu State, King Zhuang."

Uncle Er was not very surprised: "I have heard of it."

"Have you ever heard that he is already the crown prince of Chu?" Xue Mei said.

The second uncle was stunned.

He remembered his eldest nephew's broken leg.

That's not a disguise, but a loss of his entire leg. In this way, the Emperor of Chu could still choose him as the crown prince. Is the entire Chu royal family no longer able to do it?

As a minister of Liang State, although it is not a hostile relationship with Chu State, it is natural for human beings to hope that neighboring countries will wither.

"...I have been doing this in Chu State over the years. I have made a step-by-step plan, my brother's own efforts, the right time, place and people, and we have succeeded." Xue Mei said.

Second uncle: “…”

He had only had two cups of tea chatting here. The little maid next to the second wife ran three times and came over to ask if he had finished talking. The wife was still waiting.

The second uncle asked Xue Mei to see the second wife first.

The second wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were waiting, and even Xue Xi was there.

"They said you have become more beautiful now, and I don't believe it." The second lady took Xue Mei's hand and looked at her hard, "It's indeed different, but the same."

Xue Mei laughed.

There are many topics for women.

Xue Mei, the second wife and others talked about their affairs in Chu over the years, which was wonderful. They stopped interrupting and grew up and were very shocked.

However, it was not too surprising to think of what Xue Mei did in Liang State.

"...Is Xi'er okay?" Xue Mei asked.

Xue Xi didn't expect to ask her suddenly, a little helpless. This helplessness was just a moment, and she quickly recovered from her calmness and smiled quietly: "I'm fine, thank you, my elder sister for caring about me."

Xue Mei: "When I was in Chu State, I heard that you had practiced on your behalf. Are you still practicing now?"

Xue Xi: "..."

She was originally a practicing practitioner, but the general asked the master to find her and ask her for her opinions.

She went to the nuns, and at first the nuns were not good to her. After all, they were theirs when they entered. Even if they didn’t beat and scold them, they had to do some rough work.

After Xue Xi went in for half a year, she kept carrying water by herself, and she also needed to sweep the floor and help the nuns wash clothes.

However, one day, two people suddenly came, dressed in black, and went to find the teacher.

On that day, the master respected Xue Xi as a guest.

"The General's Mansion sends someone to take care of you, and the Master of the Sonnypool said to Xue Xi truthfully, "Let the children do these rough work in the future."

Xiao Jingcheng didn't notice Xue Xi's side at first, until Xue Mei asked him to take care of him.

He did indeed.

Xue Xi treated well in the nunnery, but there were some changes.

In Xiao Jingcheng's palace, there was a woman in charge, who was about 40 years old. She went up the mountain every two months to ask about Xue Xi's situation.

He was very attentive, but he was afraid that when Xue Mei asked, he would not be able to answer, and instead he would be gained by others.

Xiao Jingcheng agreed to Xue Mei and would not be perfunctory.

After the Chinese New Year this year, Xue Xi didn't want to be in the temple. She has not shaved her hair over the years, which shows that her heart is not pious.

She just used the temple as a refuge to escape the bad influence she brought to the family, to offset her guilt towards her family and rumors outside.

She finally understood that she had to face the world and could not hide forever.

So, when she heard that her eldest sister was about to come back, she asked someone to write a letter to her second aunt, and she wanted to come out of the temple.

The second aunt went to pick her up.

"...I have stopped practicing for a long time." Xue Xi lowered her head, "I don't have wisdom, so I can't cultivate it."

Xue Mei: "If there is no, there will be no food and clothing. Do you live in your second uncle's house now?"

Xue Xi nodded.

Xue Mei: "What are your plans in the future?"

The second wife winked at Xue Mei and told her not to ask too much, but to let it go.

Xue Mei smiled: "Xi'er is willing to come out, I think she has thought about the future. If she is confused, she will definitely be in the nunnery."

Second Lady: “…”

Xue Xi raised her eyes and looked at Xue Mei with gratitude, with a little light in her eyes.

"I want to learn medicine. When I was in the temple, I read a lot of medical classics and medicinal books, and I was familiar with the peasant women who grew herbs nearby and knew various herbs." Xue Xi said.

It turned out that the temple where Xue Xi practiced was large and large herbal plantations at the foot of the mountain.

She is taken care of by the General Wang, and is a wealthy and idle person in the nunnery after the master. She can wander around every day. The palace gives her money and goods every month, and she exchanges things with the peasant women, and even helps them.

After a while, I became very familiar with each other.

She has been in the temple for nearly four years and has seen herbs grow and mature year after year. During her days of doing nothing, she has used observation of herbs and researched the methods of making them.

She even tried it, but it was hard to talk to the outside world.

She could make more than a dozen simple herbs. She also taught herself medical science.

So, when she left the nunnery, she thought about it. She wanted to rely on her second uncle to find a master who could make medicinal materials and teach her for two years, and then she had to make a living by relying on this craft.

She didn't want to get married, so she had to take the initiative to give up her status as a noble lady and a noble lady and become a lowly craftsman.

She wants to support herself.

Only in this way can she be worthy of herself.
