Chapter 343

~8 min read 1,479 words

There is a safe distance between people, and the social distance is about 1.2 meters to 3.7 meters. Once it is too close, it will make people extremely uncomfortable.

But this green-clothed young master ignored the distance, leaned directly in front of Gu Qing, sniffed deeply at Gu Qing's neck, looked up, his face still blushing, and asked curiously: "What kind of fragrance powder is this?"

Not brother...

Gu Qing felt a bit strange in his heart, and also had some guesses. At this moment, his footsteps went backward, saying: "I don't use fragrance powder."

"Then it's very delicious."

The green-clothed young master licked his lips.

"..."

Gu Qing recorded this account, bowed slightly, took the Dragon King mask, paid the copper coins, and walked towards Guanghui Temple. This green-clothed young master didn't leave, held a folding fan in his hand, stood on the side of the road, and watched Gu Qing go inside to offer incense all the way, looking at the people who greeted Gu Qing along the way, and sent someone beside him to inquire.

"This is a new doctor in the city, called Gu Qing, who opened a Tongren Hall, and it is said that his medical skills are very powerful."

The person beside him reported the news quickly.

"Gu Qing..."

When the green-clothed young master read the word Qing, his voice was a bit heavy. After waiting for Gu Qing to return from burning incense inside, he leaned in front of Gu Qing again and smiled: "Doctor Gu is a famous doctor in Hangzhou, and he still has to be so pious to worship gods. Is there any difficult matter to entrust to the gods?"

Gu Qing smiled calmly and said: "I have an apprentice who is loyal and honest, but he likes a young lady from a wealthy family. I have already gone to propose marriage for him, and now I am praying for everything to go smoothly."

Praying to gods for others?

This green-clothed young master looked at Gu Qing with high regard. Just because of Gu Qing's intention, if this matter was really difficult, she wouldn't mind helping.

"My surname is Cen."

The green-clothed young master smiled: "This surname is rare, right? You can call me Master Cen."

Gu Qing looked at Master Cen's face, and so far he hadn't seen a daughter's appearance on it. The transformation technique of this immortal world is indeed much more advanced than the disguise technique.

"The Dragon Boat Festival on the Xihu is about to start. Would Doctor Gu like to go and enjoy it together?"

When Master Cen asked, he took a small breath.

The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is all on the Xihu. On this day, the eighth day of the second lunar month, the painting boats on the Xihu are all open. Among them, six dragon boats play in the lake, and there are gods like Erlang Shen on them. At this time of bright scenery, a pole is set up in the lake, colored silk is hung, and six boats compete. The winner is rewarded, and the loser is not punished.

Gu Qing agreed happily and walked with this Master Cen. On the way, Master Cen also introduced the five servants beside him, named Bai Fu, Er Fu, San Fu, Wu Fu, and Liu Fu.

As for why there is no Si Fu, it is probably because they are already dead.

It was also after hearing the name that Gu Qing confirmed 100% that the Master Cen in front of him was Xiao Qing.

In the leisurely stroll, Gu Qing and this Xiao Qing came to the side of the Xihu. Looking at the season when all flowers are about to bloom, the sons of princes and nobles are playing happily, and the poor are also carrying their wives and children to travel here. There are many hawkers on the left and right sides. Gu Qing also saw Li Gongfu who was maintaining order here.

"Doctor Gu, what a coincidence."

After seeing Gu Qing, Li Gongfu took the initiative to greet him. The two chatted for a while, and heard that Xu Jiaorong took Xu Xian to play on the Xihu, while Li Gongfu could not get away because of official business, and there was a bit of depression in his words.

"The quiet years you think are just because someone is carrying the burden for you."

Gu Qing smiled: "We can play here, thanks to your efforts."

Hearing such words, Li Gongfu held his head high, feeling that he had a mission.

While talking, there was a scream in front. Li Gongfu ran over immediately. Only then did he see a farmer in his forties on the side of the Xihu carrying many bags. After opening them, there were various long snakes inside, which scared the girls and daughters-in-law to scream, and also caused a circle of people watching the excitement there.

Xiao Qing followed Gu Qing. After arriving at this place, her face changed immediately, she bit her teeth slightly, looking at the various long snakes in the field, among which there were several that were perhaps because of hunger, swallowing each other. This strange scene of snakes eating snakes made the tourists discuss.

"Eat snake meat, prolong life, eat snake gall, strengthen kidneys and courage..."

The farmer was hawking there, and some wealthy young masters beside him were eager to try after looking at the snake meat.

"I bought all these snakes!"

Gu Qing seized the opportunity at this time, performed well, stepped forward and waved his hand immediately, indicating that he would take all these snakes down.

The farmer who was hawking saw this, stepped forward hurriedly, asked if it was true or false, Gu Qing took out his purse, counted the silver without hesitation, and bought all these snakes.

"Doctor Gu, are you going to make snake soup?"

Some people who knew Gu Qing asked at this time.

"Snakes are treasures all over, but I only take their snake venom."

Gu Qing bought several porcelain bottles at a stall nearby. After washing them clean, he came to these snakes, used the porcelain bottles to jam the snake's fangs, and used this to release venom. These various snake venoms were never confused, and used this to collect all the snake venom.

"Doctor Gu, can this snake venom be used as medicine?"

Li Gongfu asked curiously.

"Of course."

Gu Qing affirmed, saying: "However, these snake venoms need to be refined before they can be used."

"Where should these snake venoms be used?"

Xiao Qing asked with a straight face.

"It can be used to stop bleeding, relieve pain, lower blood pressure..."

Gu Qing simply said the effect of snake venom, and said: "The medicine that these snake venoms can refine is life-saving medicine, which is more precious than gold." While speaking, Gu Qing looked at the group of snakes in front of him, his eyes shining.

"More precious than gold?"

Xiao Qing raised her chin slightly. How could she not be a poisonous snake herself?

"I'll find a iron cage for Doctor Gu, and you can raise these snakes."

Li Gongfu regarded Gu Qing as a family member. After hearing the value of these snake venoms, he immediately wanted to find an iron cage and raise all these snakes.

Xiao Qing lowered her eyes, looking at the long snakes swimming on the ground. There were people who were afraid, there were those who were disgusted, and there were those who wanted to beat the snakes to death and soak them in wine. Her heart was angry. Looking at Li Gongfu who was busy enthusiastically, she said unhappily: "Sometimes instead of finding a cage for people, think about the treasury silver case!"

When Li Gongfu heard about the treasury silver case, his face fell, and he stood still.

Recently, the treasury silver in the yamen has disappeared every day, which made Li Gongfu anxious. It is said that this case has been reported to the emperor, and Li Gongfu felt that if it dragged on, he would have no good end.

"Speaking of the treasury silver case."

Gu Qing suddenly spoke and said: "I have an idea. Since this silver disappears every day, why don't you invite a treasury god to guard it."

Treasury god guarding it?

Li Gongfu was still hesitant.

Xiao Qing's face had already changed. She has practiced for five hundred years, and she is clear about her own level. If a treasury god comes, then Xiao Qing will be difficult to steal silver in the future... Then where will I make up for the little silver I lack!

Gu Qing said nothing, just made a crisp sound when tidying up the bottles and jars of snake venom.

Selling saliva?

Xiao Qing looked at those bottles and jars and was deeply silent.
