"Oh? Are you that little girl?"

"Do you think I look like me?" Qingyue asked tentatively.

"No, you are much prettier than her." Gu An looked at her with a smile.

"You are really good at bluffing people. She will be angry if she hears it." The compliment that came out of her mouth made Qingyue feel ashamed and happy.

"Hahaha." Gu'an laughed happily.

"What would happen if you really met her?" Qingyue asked deliberately, having already guessed something in her heart.

"Then I have to see what she looks like first." Gu'an raised his head and teased mischievously.

"Then I have to see what she looks like first." This sentence suddenly penetrated Qingyue's heart, echoing in her ears repeatedly, "These words are so familiar, I heard them somewhere." She said

He slowed down his pace and thought to himself.

"Brother Xiaoshan, are you tired?" Yu Yan asked from behind.

"Tired, so tired, you are so heavy." Xiaoshan lifted her up and joked.

"What did you say!" Yuyan slapped him on the shoulder angrily.

"Oh, don't move, I was kidding you." Xiaoshan lifted her up.

"If you think I'm too heavy, you don't have to carry it on your back. Just let me down."

"You're so heavy. I'm the only one here who can carry you. If you're tired, just bear with it a little bit."

"You still said it, you still said it." Yu Yan pinched his neck and shook it.

"Hey, hey, don't move, be careful as we roll down the mountain together."

"Hmph, I don't care." She continued to pinch.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you anymore, so I won't make trouble with you." Xiaoshan begged for mercy.

"Hahaha, these two are such a pair." Baoshan couldn't help laughing, which made Yu Yan feel a little shy and obediently let her carry her.

"Qingyue, send it to you." Gu'an didn't know when he pulled up some wild flowers.

"Ah? Thank you, it's so beautiful." Qingyue suddenly came back to her senses. At this time, Xiaorou looked back and saw it, and turned back a little depressed. The group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain. There were many people and few horses, and everyone looked at each other.

"Xiaorou, please get on Dad's horse; Xiaoshan, take care of Yu Yan; Miss Qingyue, please get on Gu'an's horse and make do with it." Baoshan arranged neatly.

"Come." Gu'an stretched out his hand to Qingyue. Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then gave him her hand and helped her get on the horse. Then she got on the horse, put his hands around her waist and pulled the reins. It was so close.

The contact made both of them a little embarrassed. After galloping for a while, Gu'an slowed down and the horse began to walk. Xiaorou in the front was sitting behind Baoshan, looking back at the two of them, their figures getting smaller and smaller.

Far away, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so I turned my head and stopped looking back.

"Are you tired?" He asked Qingyue, faintly smelling the breath of her body and the fragrance of her hair, which made him a little tipsy.

"I'm not tired. This is my first time riding a horse. It's quite interesting." After walking for a while and looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains along the way, I felt relaxed.

"If you like, we can go out and ride horses often in the future."

"This is what you said. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."

"There is only one horse here." Gu'an said with a smile.

"Haha, you are so cunning." Qingyue was amused by him, and her blush became even more charming.

"Let's come down and take a walk."

"Okay." With that said, Gu'an dismounted and helped Qingyue dismount. He held the reins, a breeze blew by, and the corners of his skirt fluttered. He looked at Qingyue and thought, 'If I can keep going like this

Enough.'

"The suburbs are really different from the city. Even the air is different." Gu'an said, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

"I remember that when I was a child, I often played in the mountains, jumping up and down, catching crickets and birds. Later, in order to restrict me, my mother taught me needlework. I became obsessed with this lesson and couldn't stop. What about you?

Hobby?"

"Yes, you can also say no."

"How do you say this?

"My ancestors opened a medicine shop. There are many medical books at home, and I have read most of them. In fact, I want to continue the family business of my ancestors, open a medicine shop, and help people in the world."

"That's good. Being a doctor is no different than being an official. It's more direct to save and help people. You can also do it for a long time and keep a good reputation."

"Yes, my grandfather is a good doctor who is praised by everyone. In fact, my father also knows medical skills, but later he became the number one scholar and became an official. Now that I am here, I really want to continue the original family business and learn more.

use."

"Yes, last time you treated me, I didn't thank you properly."

"You're so polite to me, it's an outsider."

"I just think that if you become a doctor in the future, I will be lucky." She smiled.

"You?" Gu'an looked at her.

"I mean all the people in Qiantang County are blessed." She realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately made an excuse to cover it up.

"Maybe this is just a distant dream." Gu'an looked ahead, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Dream? Why?"

"The elders in my family all hope that I can get a good name and shine on my family."

"You can also practice medicine. Isn't your grandfather a famous doctor?"

"Really, do you really think so?"

"Yeah." Qingyue nodded knowingly.

"It would be great if everyone in the family was like you." Gu'an said happily.

"Actually, as long as you persevere, there is nothing you can't do. At first, my parents didn't agree with me going out to make a living, but I insisted over and over again that my daughter's family can also make money to support the family and have their own ideals, not just

I'm just waiting to get on the sedan chair, right?"

"Yes, you are really a very special woman." Gu'an looked at her deeply. When he said this, Qingyue's face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head. Gu'an boldly reached out and held Qingyue's hand.

Their hands met each other, and Qingyue quickly withdrew her hand. The sun was setting in the west, it was dim, and the suburbs looked particularly warm, so they walked straight.

"It's still some distance from the town. You can get on your horse and I'll hold you."

Gu'an said, pulling the reins, Qingyue nodded, Gu'an helped her get on the horse, holding the reins and speeding up the pace. Qingyue looked at his back, his hair tied up high on the back of his head, he

She looked back and smiled, and suddenly a figure flashed through her mind. She had a similar figure but different clothes. Her steady steps overlapped and she was also walking in front of her. The back was extremely familiar, as if..., she closed her eyes and thought hard, indeed

It was a memory that was very close at hand, but she couldn't blurt it out, as if there was a mist blocking her eyes. She shook her head, opened her eyes again, and saw that Gu'an was still walking in front, but the smile on her face disappeared.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, Gu'an helped her off the horse and took her to Xiuzhuang. He watched her enter the door before leaving on his own. It was already dinner time when he returned to Xu Mansion, and everyone was waiting for him to have dinner.

"Has Yuyan been found again?" Shilin asked.

"We found it. She ran home. Today is her grandma's birthday."

"So, she knows everything?"

"Yes, I was crying so hard that I still refused to go down the mountain. I had to persuade her to come down after all the hard talking."

"This child is really pitiful. She has no father or mother. Now that her grandma is gone, her grandma is really cruel." Bi Lian interjected.

"You don't know the whole story, so don't talk nonsense." Shilin replied immediately.

"I don't know, do you know?" Bilian asked back. Shilin was speechless and shook his head.

"Stop talking about her, let's eat and eat." Jiao Rong immediately changed her words. After dinner, Gu'an went to the study to find Shilin.

"Dad, the kid has something he wants to tell dad."

"Okay, tell me." Shilin put down the book and looked at him.

"Dad, I don't want to take part in the imperial examination or seek fame."

"Oh? Why?" Shilin was surprised that his son would make such a decision today.

"I..., I want to open a medicine shop, be a doctor, help people in the world, and benefit all people." Gu'an said boldly.

"Open a pharmacy?"

"Yes, Dad. Like you, is it really your heart's desire to get a good name? If you hadn't saved your grandparents, would you really have taken the imperial examination? Even if you won the first prize, you would not have stayed in Beijing to do it. Official, but returned to Qiantang, what is the purpose of this? He'er knows that his father is also familiar with the art of Qihuang. If he and his father can open a pharmacy together to treat diseases and save people, then many people who are suffering from illness will have hope. If you want to wait I am protected by officials, but I am afraid that even if I get into the loess world, I may not know about it."

"Shut up, are you allowed to say these things? If you want to open a pharmacy, you can open a pharmacy just by reading this cabinet of books? Aren't you afraid of misdiagnosis and quack doctors harming people? You are so young and ignorant. , and you dare to speak frivolously." Shi Lin retorted angrily.

"Dad, I didn't mean to contradict you. This is my wish and ambition. No matter what my father thinks, I don't want to give up and live as miserable as you."

"You..., An'er, dad is not against you doing what you want to do, but this matter is not trivial. You can't just do it according to your own temper. You must consider everything carefully before acting. You are the only son of the Xu family. Of course your parents hope that you will accomplish something in the future, but no matter what you do, you must be prepared and have arrangements. Even if you just go to the street to beg, you must find yourself an unbreakable vessel, so that you can take on the world. Please think carefully about my words." Shilin softened his tone and gave serious advice.

"Yes, I will remember your father's teachings." Gu'an bowed and exited the study. Shilin shook his head, walked to the window, and looked at the night sky.
