"Yes, this matter seems to be quite serious." Lin Yu smiled and said: "I really agree with that sentence, if you don't do it, you won't die."
"Follow me." Xu Xuejian smiled, and she led Lin Yu to the inner hall.
The Xu family's courtyard is very large, and this place is a relatively prosperous place in the imperial capital, not too far from the center of power. Moreover, a large part of the Xu family's medicines are royal medicines, so there is no need to be careless.
There is such a big compound in a place like this, which shows the Xu family's financial resources and the degree of attention they receive.
Everywhere in the Xu Family Courtyard was filled with a strong medicinal aroma. This medicinal aroma did not come from any kind of herbal medicine, but from a mixture of various herbs. Lin Yu sniffed the aroma of the herbs and frowned: "
Ambergris?”
"Awesome, the smell of so many herbs is mixed, you can smell the smell of ambergris in it, you are worthy of being a medical fairy." Xu Xuejian extended his thumb to Lin Yu.
"This kind of ambergris is very precious. The Xu family actually uses it to make spices." Lin Yu extended his thumb and said, "The financial resources are evident."
"People who don't know, think that the Xu family is luxurious, but you probably don't think so. Although the Xu family is a big family, this kind of ambergris is rare. If it weren't for a reason, we wouldn't use it as a spice.
It's burning." Xu Xue said.
"Of course." Lin Yu smiled and said: "Traditional Chinese medicine believes that medicine is divided into three parts poison. Even traditional Chinese medicine is no exception. There are so many medicines stored in the Xu family's warehouse, and some of them are even poisons.
Come to fight fire with fire."
"All kinds of medicinal aromas are mixed together. If it lasts for a long time, it will definitely not be good for the human body. Ambergris is different. This ambergris is used as a spice. It can neutralize the taste of all herbs and can also refresh people.

"I think people who live in the Xu family compound for a long time must rarely get sick. This kind of ambergris that neutralizes the aroma of other medicinals can make people live longer and be free from all diseases." Lin Yu said with a smile.
.
"That's right." Xu Xuejian smiled slightly and said, "Only someone like you who understands traditional Chinese medicine can understand the mystery of this. Haha, if you explain it to other people, they won't understand."
"These are common sense for Chinese medicine." Lin Yu said with a slight smile.
At this time, an old man came forward. This old man had white hair and a long beard. He was wearing a Tai Chi suit and was doing a set of boxing slowly.
This set of boxing is not Tai Chi, but the movements are slow, and it has some similarities with Tai Chi. Lin Yu can tell at a glance that this is a health-preserving exercise.
"Grandpa." Xu Xuejian stepped forward and said with a smile, "Are you out to bask in the sun again?"
"Ah, haha, Xuejian." The old man saw Xu Xuejian coming over, he slowly returned his hand, and then said with a smile: "I haven't been feeling too well the past few days, and I have been asked to stay at home. I just want to
It's rusty, and if you don't let me come out and exercise, you're going to kill me."
"Grandpa, just move appropriately. Don't get tired. You are the backbone of the Xu family." Xu Xuejian smiled slightly.
"Hey, the world belongs to you from now on." The old man smiled slightly, and it was obvious that he loved Xu Xuejian very much.
"Who is this?" The old man saw Lin Yu and couldn't help but ask.
"Back to Mr. Xu, I am Lin Yu." Lin Yu smiled. He felt that this old man's magnanimity and self-cultivation were extraordinary, and he must not be an ordinary person.
"Grandpa, this is Lin Yu. He is a Chinese medicine doctor. I am here today to take him to my little aunt to have a look. I feel that my little aunt is not too normal recently." Xu Xuejian said.
"Really?" Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Yu carefully, then nodded and said: "There are not many people who can get the eyes of Xuejian. Haha, young man, you are the first one."
Lin Yu smiled and said: "I know a little bit about Chinese medicine, but I don't know if I can help. Practicing medicine in a family with a long history of Chinese medicine, I am a bit out of my depth."
"No, no, the Xu family is just a family of traditional Chinese medicine, not a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Since Xuejian is here to find you, it means you must be something special. I, my great-granddaughter, have a keen eye for recognizing people."
Mr. Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "Go ahead. I see that Xiaoru has not been very normal in the past few days. Don't let her condition get worse."
"Okay, Grandpa, let's go in first. We'll chat later." Xu Xuejian nodded, and she continued walking deeper into the Xu family compound with Lin Yu.
The Xu Family Courtyard is very deep, and there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions here. When Lin Yu walks here, he feels like he is walking in the royal palace of the late Qing Dynasty. The environment here is quite good, quiet, and the aroma of medicine makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"The Xu Family Courtyard is such a good place." Lin Yu sighed.
"This compound was bought by my great-grandfather's father. It has a history of nearly a century." Xu Xuejian said with a slight smile: "Fortunately, it was well preserved during the turbulent years. This is similar to ours."
The efforts of our ancestors have a lot to do with it. If it weren't for them, we, the Xu family, would not know where we would be living now."
"This is also related to your efforts. Every thing here is an antique." Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Here we are, the place ahead is where my little aunt lives." Xu Xuejian pointed forward and saw an artificial small lake ahead. The water in the lake was very clear. There were some red koi carps in it. The cabin was in an ancient style.
A small hut with red pillars and golden glazed tiles.
Half of the hut faces the lake, and there is a corridor behind the house that leads to a pavilion in the lake. The whole place is very beautiful. It can be seen that the owner who lives in this house must be an elegant and versatile person.
"Let's go over and take a look." Lin Yu stood here and paused for a moment, then walked forward with Xu Xuejian.
"Auntie, are you there?" Xu Xuejian knocked slightly on the door. She seemed very careful, as if the owner of the room was made of water. If she was not careful, she would be surprised.
After knocking for a while, there was finally a response from inside the house. The door creaked open to both sides, and a beautiful face was revealed.
Lin Yu was slightly startled. He couldn't help but froze. He didn't expect that Xu Xuejian's aunt was so young and beautiful, especially her clothes, which gave people a strong ancient style.
It’s like a sense of instant vision as if you’ve traveled through time.
Xu Ru, Xu Xuejian's youngest aunt, was just in her early thirties this year. She was originally recognized as a talented woman in the imperial capital, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly disappeared a few years ago.
And she has been shutting herself in this small courtyard for the past few years, refusing to let herself go out.
