After hearing Fan Li's words, Li Ran didn't know how to answer for a moment. He was silent for a moment and then said:
"It's better not to worry about this matter, young uncle. I know it well."
Fan Li was still unyielding:
"The good thing between Mr. and Miss Yue has been delayed for too long. If it continues to be delayed like this, wouldn't it be a delay for others? Please make a decision soon, sir!"
Li Ran looked back at Fan Li and suddenly laughed.
"Why are you so concerned about this matter, young uncle?"
Fan Li cupped his hands and replied:
"Sir, you are joking. If you want to say that the person who cares most about this matter is Guang'er! Isn't the painting that Guang'er painted before enough to express his feelings? She has been weak and sick since she was a child, that is, she relies on pills.
As long as the relationship is maintained, the talent will be the same as that of a normal child. The matter between your husband and Miss Yue has always been a knot in Guang'er's heart, why don't you, sir, think more about Guang'er?"
"If Guang'er learns about this, she will definitely be overjoyed. It will also be of great benefit to her health. Therefore, Li believes that the matter between Mr. Yue and Miss Yue should be dealt with sooner rather than later. Miss Yue will have a reputation in the future.
Then I can justifiably stay in the house."
Li Ran was secretly moved by what Fan Li said. It happened that there was a stall nearby.
I saw an alchemist sitting in front of this stall.
Alchemists of this era have actually already appeared. As the saying goes, "men are witches and women are witches." In this era, many witches, doctors, and Feng Shui practitioners have begun to gradually develop from the top to the bottom, and gradually formed a
The door specializes in civilian occupations.
Moreover, many doctors also like to make elixirs, but because most of these elixirs are uncontrolled, and most of these alchemists are from all over the world, most of these elixirs are exaggerated. Their efficacy is different from theirs.
What they say are completely different things, and some are even harmful to the body when taken.
Liguang and Gong Eryue walked over without even looking at it.
Li Ran didn't care at first, but when he glanced sideways, he saw the words "Ancestor Repay Shao Dan" written on it.
Li Ran's heart moved and he stopped, but he saw that the stall owner was an old man. His hair was completely white, there was no wrinkle on his face, and his eyes were bright. So, Li Ran stepped forward and asked:
"What is your age this year, old man?"
The old man looked up at Li Ran.
"Seventy-one!"
When Li Ran heard this, he didn't believe it:
"Haha, the old gentleman is probably joking, right?"
The old man smiled slightly:
"Haha, I am from Qufu. Everyone in the neighborhood knows my name. If you want to fake this, you must not do it!"
Li Ran took another look at Huan Shaodan's sign.
"What kind of medicine is this elixir made from?"
The old man said calmly:
"This is a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. We dare not reveal it easily. Does this guest want to learn it?"
Li Ran waved his hand and said:
"That's not true, but it's really magical that the old gentleman has such a childish face and fair hair! Is it because he took this elixir?"
The old man narrowed his eyes.
"Haha, that's natural, and that's exactly the magic of my Shao Shao Dan! It's just that the price is a bit more expensive. It's just a waste of time and money for the elixir, so I really have no choice."
Li Ran pondered for a moment and asked:
"How to take it?"
The old man replied:
"Three pills! One pill every seven days. After one month, you will be twenty years younger! Your skin will be tight, just like my face!"
At this moment, Li Ran deliberately moved closer and found that the old man's skin did have a delicate feeling that was completely inconsistent with his age.
Even if he is not seventy years old, even if he is fifty years old, it is almost impossible for him to have this kind of skin condition.
So Li Ran asked Fan Li to get money and decided to buy four pills.
Li Ran's family was rich, so Fan Li always brought a large sum of money with him when he went out, just in case of unexpected needs.
But even so, Fan Li still had to pour out several bags to get just enough.
Fan Li took the porcelain bottle and smelled it. A strong medicinal smell hit his nose directly.
"Sir, this elixir..."
Li Ran and Fan Li walked some distance away before replying:
"I know that most of the alchemists in this world are people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, but this man has white hair and a childish face, but he has neighbors to prove it. It is a bit strange."
Fan Li smiled.
"I don't think so. After all, this elixir is also refined from ordinary things. How can it have such magical powers if it is refined from ordinary things? Li thought it would be better to ask him directly for the formula and take it.
Those herbal medicines may be more effective. Moreover, they are also relatively safer."
There is nothing wrong with Fan Li's words. After all, many people die from taking medicine these days.
Li Ran stretched out his hand to get the porcelain vase, but Fan Li held it tightly in his palm and even pinned his hand behind his back.
"Sir, you can't take it! Although the old man looks like a child with gray hair, but there may be other reasons! You can't think about how to become younger just because you are much older than Miss Yue! This kind of thing is very unacceptable
It’s appropriate! It’s very inappropriate!”
Li Ran was just curious at first, but after hearing Fan Li's words, he burst into laughter:
"Haha, I don't need it. I'm just curious about this thing and want to study it. Just give it to me."
Fan Li was still a little uneasy.
"Although Sir, you are knowledgeable about the past and present, but after all, you have not touched on elixirs, so what can you research on them?"
"Let me ask you, Sir, why are you so hesitant about Miss Yue? It turns out that in the end, Sir, you are worried that you are not of the right age with Miss Yue? Why... Sir, why are you doing this? In the past, Duke Huan of Qi married Cai Ji when he was nearly seventy years old.
As a wife, now Wei Houyuan and his wife Nanzi are also a combination of old and young. The husband is now in his prime, what does this mean? "
Fan Li was indeed a little anxious after what he said.
In his opinion, this elixir of unknown origin was extremely risky. If Li Ran wanted to take it, he would not agree to it at all.
Li Ran didn't say anything, walked to Fan Li and took the porcelain bottle from his hand.
"I said if you don't take it, you won't take it. Why is the young uncle so suspicious?"
Fan Li lowered his head in embarrassment:
"Li is really worried about Mr. Li..."
Li Ran patted Fan Li's shoulder lightly again:
"Young uncle is wrong! The reason why I hesitate about Miss Yue is not because of my inappropriate age. And I just want to check this elixir. That old man... Young uncle still finds a way to investigate.
For a moment. In addition, if... there is a chance to ask for a prescription, please ask for it too!"
Fan Li couldn't help but asked:
"Fan Li is confused. Why do you want to study this?"
Li Ran said calmly:
"I just want to know whether this art of rejuvenation really exists? Uncle... aren't you curious?"
When Fan Li heard this, he couldn't help but understand.
It turns out that Li Ran had been doubting whether Gong Eryue was his wife's true identity?
"Li is naturally curious, but Li still thinks that this elixir technique is pure nonsense."
Li Ran couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Perhaps what the young uncle said is right, but please pay more attention to this old man. I still want to find out whether there is a way to rejuvenate one's youth in this world!"
Fan Li bowed and said:
"Since you said so, sir, please rest assured, Li will come back soon to investigate clearly."
At this time, Liguang called up her father from the front, obviously discovering something interesting.
Li Ran asked Fan Li to put the porcelain bottle away, responded, and said to Fan Li:
"Don't tell Miss Yue about this in advance, just investigate secretly by yourself!"
Li Ran said, and without waiting for Fan Li's reply, he quickly stepped forward and caught up with Li Guang and Gong Eryue.
