There was a stack of paper in the envelope, ten of which were banknotes, and a piece of letter paper. The banknotes were written in black and white and stamped with a red seal. Each one had a face value of one thousand taels, which added up to exactly one thousand taels.
Wanliang. The letter paper is full of beautiful small characters, and every single one of them is as beautiful as a painting.
Zhao Zheng glanced at the banknotes, put them on the table, then picked up the letter and looked at it carefully.
…
Zhenzhen is very happy to have met you since I met you the day before yesterday. Although we have not been together for a long time, we can still be friends. Your voice, smile and appearance will be etched in our hearts.
Zhenzhen fled the house without telling Yan Ci at home. During the trip, birds returned to the mountains and forests, fish entered the rivers, and they swam freely and freely. However, Yan Ci at home was worried about her, and she was not allowed to eat or sleep in the morning and evening. Zhenzhen's daughter
It is unfilial to have such a fact in your body.
Now Yan Ci advises Zhenzhen to return home and study all day long, and not to run away privately again. In the next year, if I succeed, I will definitely enter the world again. If we are destined to meet again, I will definitely find a wine shop and get drunk for three days to reminisce about old friends.
Zhenzhen, entrusted by you, has put ten thousand taels of shredded silver notes from Baimang Mansion in an envelope. It was previously discussed that these yellow and white things should be divided between two people. However, you have spent countless efforts, how can Zhenzhen get a share?
.
In this way, the words will be exhausted but the love will never end. I hope you will achieve success as soon as possible and achieve your name for thousands of years. Don't think about it.
…
The letter is concise and concise, with the signature and date in the lower corner.
Zhao Zheng read the letter quickly, and the feeling of emptiness in his heart became more serious, as if a piece was missing.
This feeling is very strange, not heartache, but a deep sense of loss.
This time Li Zhenzhen was taken away by her parents. I am afraid she will not have the chance to leave home again for a long time, unless she can make a great breakthrough in martial arts.
If the two want to meet again, they can only wait until many years later. By then, things will have changed, and what will happen to each of them?
"But it's better to have a chance to meet than not to have a chance to meet." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and comforted himself in his heart. As long as he practiced hard and achieved some achievements, he would still have a chance to meet Li Zhenzhen in the future.
Zhao Zheng stared at the letter in his hand, and in a trance he saw the graceful figure of Li Zhenzhen writing the letter, and was inexplicably moved in his heart. He stared at it for a long time, until there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the figure in his mind followed the sound.
The painting was filled with millions of petals and disappeared without a trace.
He came back to his senses, put the letter back into the envelope, and then stuffed the nine banknotes on the table into it, leaving only one for temporary use. Although these ten thousand taels are a lot, if possible, he would rather use this one
He exchanged the 10,000 taels of silver notes for Li Zhenzhen, allowing Li Zhenzhen to stay with him for a while longer.
Li Zhenzhen's departure this time meant that Zhao Zheng not only lost a confidante, but also lost a good helper. He originally planned to take Li Zhenzhen on several tasks, but with Li Zhenzhen's help, it would be much easier.
Now that Li Zhenzhen is gone, the pressure on him has suddenly increased, and the mission risks of those few have increased a lot.
But no matter how depressing it is, the matter is doomed, and there is no possibility of turning around, so I can only choose to accept it.
Zhao Zheng put the envelope containing nine banknotes into the system warehouse, leaving only one banknote and stuffed it into his sleeve. He cheered up, returned to his sister's room, and said with a forced smile: "That letter
I’ve already finished reading it, and they are just some words of farewell.”
"Can you show me?" Shen Luoxia asked tentatively.
"This... is a bit inconvenient." Zhao Zheng did not want Shen Luoxia to see the mention of silver coins in the letter.
"You dare not show it to me, which proves that there must be something fishy hidden in that letter." Shen Luoxia smiled sweetly, raised her porcelain white index finger, and gave Zhao Zheng a few virtual nods, "But the more this happens, the more I feel Happy. That girl Li Zhenzhen is very nice. If you can capture her heart, it will be a great thing."
"The two of us get along pretty well, but it's not to the point where we are in love." Zhao Zheng shook his head and said.
"I can see that Li Zhenzhen is very fond of you." Shen Luoxia slowly stopped her smile and asked seriously, "Brother, tell me the truth, do you like Li Zhenzhen?"
"Why did sister suddenly ask me this question?" Zhao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Confused brother, if you really like Li Zhenzhen, then I will take you to Li Zhenzhen's parents to propose marriage."
"Proposing marriage?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "Even if we two fall in love, we can't be together. Her family background is too good, even if I propose marriage, her parents will not agree. This matter is really It’s so unrealistic.”
"If you say you are confused, you are really confused. As a man, if you meet a woman you really like, no matter how good her family background is, you should take the initiative to fight for it. If you don't even fight, you will regret it for the rest of your life. It's other people's affairs. I'm too lazy to take care of it, but you are my brother and I have to take care of it. If you like Li Zhenzhen, even if I bankrupt my family, I will buy a batch of gifts for you and go to the Li family to propose marriage. Although 80% of their families will not agree, we must at least fight for it. Just a moment." Shen Luoxia's tongue shines like a lotus flower, and every word is resounding.
Zhao Zheng was deeply moved when he heard Shen Luoxia's solemn words. In modern times, even a biological sister might not be willing to spend all her family wealth for her younger brother, but Shen Luoxia could do it for him. Zhao Zheng knew that Shen Luoxia What Xia said was definitely not a joke, because Shen Luoxia is a heroic woman and her words are always very weighty.
"Sister, I'm very happy that you can say that, but Li Zhenzhen and I haven't developed to that point yet. She and I just have some good feelings for each other," Zhao Zheng said frankly.
"Really? You must not lie to me about this matter." Shen Luoxia reminded.
"Don't worry, sister, I didn't lie to you." Zhao Zheng said firmly.
"If that's the case, then let's forget about it for the time being. Marriage is not a child's play and cannot be done rashly."
"I won't think about marriage for the time being. I'm still young. I should focus on my future. It's better to start a family later." Zhao Zheng is really not used to this world of early marriage. If it were in modern times, he would This is the age when you are sitting in an ivory tower studying, and it is still too early to talk about marriage.
"You're right to think so. I also think that a person should wait until he meets the person he likes before considering getting married. If he doesn't meet the person he really likes, he should keep waiting. In this world, everything can be done, but You can't just live alone and have a partner." Shen Luoxia's eyes were filled with confusion, as if she could see her sweetheart who had been waiting for many years but never appeared.
It was the first time that Zhao Zheng heard his sister talk about this matter. He did not expect that her sister's views in this regard were quite avant-garde. They were completely different from the secular ideas of this world. This world, like ancient China, all pay attention to the orders of parents. According to matchmakers, many people have never met each other before getting married, let alone have any love.
The two chatted for a long time about this matter, and then Shen Luoxia asked about Zhao Zheng's whereabouts these days. Zhao Zheng made up some lies and concealed his visit to Qingfeng Forest and his injury.
Before leaving, Zhao Zheng took out a rouge box from his sleeve and gave it to Shen Luoxia as a gift. This thing was bought from Qibao County before he came back. It contained pink rouge. The box itself It was also quite exquisite, with reliefs all over it. Shen Luoxia had nothing to criticize about Zhao Zheng's small gift and happily accepted it.
In the days that followed, Zhao Zheng stayed at the Hongchen Inn, practicing every day, playing the flute, practicing calligraphy, and refining elixirs. His life was fulfilling and there were many things to do. After further recuperation, the wounds on his body were completely healed. It healed, leaving only a few tooth marks and scars.
These teeth marks are quite ugly. If they fell on a woman, the woman would be very sad about it, but if they fell on a man, the feeling would be much worse.
Zhao Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with a few scars, not to mention that there were some scar-removing elixirs on the market. If you think the scars are too ugly in the future, just buy some and use them on your body. This is really not a problem worth worrying about.
In his system warehouse, a lot of medicinal materials are stored, and some fresh herbs are also planted in the flower garden. His flower garden can set the temperature and light environment at will, and the soil is also very fertile, which is really good for growing medicinal herbs. The place. Herbs grow inside, so there is no need to worry at all. He used the medicinal materials he brought to practice refining elixirs, and began to refine another elixir that was easier to refine. This elixir is called Xingshen Dan. After taking it, it can refresh the mind and drive away sleepiness. If you have to do something at night, you only need to take one pill to feel 100 times more energetic. It is quite practical for martial artists.
Just like the situation when he was refining the belly-feeding elixir before, when Zhao Zheng was refining the awakening elixir at first, all ended in failure. He refined a large number of scrapped elixirs. After a long period of groping and experimenting, he gradually figured out the way. , successfully refined a low-grade elixir such as the Awakening Pill.
Zhao Zheng accumulated a certain amount of experience through the process of refining two low-grade elixirs, and made up his mind to start refining the middle-grade elixir Tiger Bone Pill. Once this elixir is successfully refined, it will greatly speed up his practice. , and it can be taken for a long time, the benefits are very great, and it will be of great help to his future growth.
He made an excuse and rode a horse to Qibao County. First, he went to the Rejuvenation Medical Center and took away two rejuvenation pills of his own. He also bought some medicinal materials for refining Tiger Bone Pill from Lin Jiyuan. .Now that he had a lot of money, he spent a lot of money to buy medicinal materials and bought thirty copies.
During the process of buying medicine, Zhao Zheng noticed that Lin Zhonger had peeked at him many times. He pretended not to know about this and did not dare to look at Lin Zhonger for fear that he would make Lin Zhonger fall deeper into trouble. , which only adds to the troubles of the two of them.
The medicinal materials he bought at Huichun Medical Center were only part of the ingredients for refining Tiger Bone Pill. He went to other medical centers and pharmacies to buy the rest, spending a total of nearly one thousand three hundred taels of silver.
This time, he did not stay in Qibao County. After buying the medicinal materials, he rode directly back to Hongchen Inn and began to try to refine the coveted Tiger Bone Pill.
All he knew was a few medicinal materials needed to refine Tiger Bone Pill. He had no clue about the specific refining method. He could only use some conventional pill refining methods to experiment until the experiment was successful. He had a total of three
There are more than ten ingredients for refining Tiger Bone Pill. If he can experiment with the correct refining method using these medicinal ingredients, he will be satisfied.
"Try the most common fire refining method first, and then try other methods." Zhao Zheng was in the alchemy furnace copy, opened the lid of the gourd-shaped alchemy furnace, and threw a whitened tiger bone into it, triggering
