of the house

However, Qiutong and Zhang Xiaohua didn't go far, so they changed their minds.

Ou Yan had never told Qiu Tong before that he would get any books for Zhang Xiaohua, and it was inappropriate to bring others in without the owner's consent.

So Qiutong took Zhang Xiaohua to the outside of the hall.

As soon as he approached the hall, Zhang Xiaohua heard two people talking inside. One of them was extremely nice, like the oriole coming out of the valley, which made people never get tired of listening for a long time. Although the other one also spoke melodiously and was neither too anxious nor slow, it still did not have that gripping charm.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think that the owner of the manor Ou Yan was the one who spoke nicely.

In fact, when he came to the inner courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua began to guess Ou Yan's appearance and voice. He had been to Huanxi Villa for several months. Ou Yan was very good at treating him, but he had never seen him. This time, he came to return books and borrow books, but also thanked him in person for his care.

Qiutong asked Zhang Xiaohua to wait outside the house and go in and report by herself.

Qiutong entered the hall, and the two of them were talking. Zhang Xiaohua heard Qiutong say inside: "Master, Zhang Xiaohua from the medicine field is here to return your books. She wants to borrow some more. What books do you want to borrow?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua even raised her ears and wanted to know which voice answered.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the gentle voice sounded: "Hey~, I'll finish reading so soon? Could it be that this kid was just rumoring around and let him in. I ask, if I really finish reading it and understand it, it's not too late to borrow it."

It turned out that the huge and nice voice was not Ou Yan's voice.

Qiutong came out to signal Zhang Xiaohua to enter the house. After Zhang Xiaohua carefully entered the house, she saw clearly that a woman in her twenties and very dignified and beautiful sitting sat directly above the hall. Her temperament was like Liu Qian, and her skin was white and smooth. If it weren't for the current one who had phoenix eyes and Liu Qian had almond eyes, Zhang Xiaohua would have blurted out and called "Sister-in-law"; and on the side of the hall, there was an ordinary middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, who was very dark and rough. Although her clothes were gorgeous, she could not hide her waist like a bucket.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the voice that had been around the beam just now was made by this woman?

At this time, Ou Yan spoke and said, "Are you Zhang Xiaohua?"

Zhang Xiaohua quickly withdrew her gaze, bowed deeply, and said, "Yes, the owner's sister, I am Zhang Xiaohua."

Ou Yan was a little stunned and almost laughed out loud, saying, "Sister? Haha, no one has called me sister for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua, your little mouth is really sweet."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't feel it, and couldn't help scratching her head and said, "Is there any problem? My wife, the owner."

Ou Yan was not annoyed, just asked: "Why do you think of calling me sister?"

Zhang Xiaohuaqi said: "The owner of the manor is older than I want to call him sister myself. Moreover, the owner of the manor looks very similar to my sister-in-law. I almost called my sister-in-law just now. By the way, my sister-in-law is Liu Qian. Before she got married to my brother, I called her sister Liu. So, I feel that the owner of the manor is very kind, and of course he should call her sister more."

The rough woman next to her spoke, and a crisp voice rang in Zhang Xiaohua's ears: "Hehe, this little flower is really interesting. I haven't seen such a simple child in a long time."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the woman and couldn't help but say, "My sister's voice sounds really nice."

Ou Yan smiled and said, "Just call her Sister Qin. If you call her a few more times, she will say a few more words to you and let you listen more."

The woman turned out to be Aunt Qin from Mingcui Hall of Piaomiao School.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua honestly said to the woman: "Hello Sister Qin."

Aunt Qin couldn't help but be stunned and said with a smile: "Others call me Aunt Qin, you kid, you actually call me sister, it sounds very comfortable. If you need something in the future, just talk."

Ou Yan even smiled and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, why don't you thank Sister Qin quickly, she doesn't speak easily."

Zhang Xiaohua was confused and bowed: "Thank you Sister Qin."

In fact, he didn't think so. The sky wouldn't just fall out of nothing. When he met someone for the first time, he wouldn't help him with a title. He didn't know what Ou Yan meant, but he was probably talking about it.

Everyone teased and said a few more words.

Ou Yan asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Zhang Xiaohua, have you read all these books? Do you understand them?"

Zhang Xiaohua said honestly: "I have seen it, my wife, the owner."

Ou Yan frowned a little this time and said, "The owner of the manor sounds awkward. Call me Sister Ou or Sister Yan."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "I understand, Sister Ou."

Ou Yan didn't believe Zhang Xiaohua's words and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, the most taboo thing about reading books is not to understand them very much, and you can't chew too much. Last time, he heard He Tianshu say that you have read a lot of books. This time, I have taken so many books and read them so quickly. Can you remember and understand them?"

Zhang Xiaohua was a little anxious and said, "Really, Sister Ou, I understand everything, but it was because I understood all these books that I realized that I didn't understand too much."

When Ou Yan heard him say this, his expression relaxed and said, "That's it, let me ask you a few questions."

After saying that, Ou Yan flipped through the books, picked some questions from them, and asked Zhang Xiaohua to answer them.

In Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, these questions were not problems at all. They were written clearly in the book, so he answered them without thinking, very fluently.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua answered quickly, Ou Yan almost continued her words. She was very happy and picked up a few questions that were not in these books and asked him to answer them.

This time, Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and answered the answers she thought were appropriate based on the knowledge she had read.

After hearing this, Ou Yan was even more happy. After pointing out the inappropriate answer from Zhang Xiaohua, she said, "Zhang Xiaohua, I can't tell that you are really proficient in these words. It's very good. Please wait, I'll give you more books and take a look. If you don't understand something, come and ask me."

After saying that, he accused Aunt Qin of guilt and took Qiutong out with a smile on his face.

In the hall, only Aunt Qin and Zhang Xiaohua were left.

When Aunt Qin saw Zhang Xiaohua standing there with his eyebrows down, she chatted with him about Zhang Xiaohua's recent situation. Zhang Xiaohua spoke very nicely to this sister, and did not hesitate to tell her how she came to Pingyang City, how she came to Huanxi Villa, and her own injury. Only the Beidou God Fist and Sword Technique did not tell her. Aunt Qin sighed after hearing Zhang Xiaohua's experience, and even thought of her childhood experience. She couldn't help but become closer to Zhang Xiaohua.

Just as Ou Yan was back, Qiu Tong behind him actually took a white cloth package, looking very heavy. Zhang Xiaohua quickly ran over to take it, and it was a slump in his hand. It seemed that there were a lot of books in it.

Ou Yan sat in her seat and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, these are the books I picked out based on your situation. You can read them carefully. Just now, I heard Qiutong say that you actually understand the path of combining theory with practice. It is really good. You have to continue walking along this avenue. It will be beneficial to you and our villa."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Ou, I will work hard to read and practice well. I hope to help Sister Ou solve the seed problem."

When it comes to seeds, Ou Yan couldn't hide a sad look in her eyebrows and said, "Your expectations are good, but if you could find the reason by just reading these books, I'd already found it."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. This determination seemed to be a bad sign, and said, "The ancients said that they were good. Three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang. If you all think of a solution together, there may not be no hope."

Ou Yan smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but many things cannot be solved by having too many people, but they still need to be handled by senior talents."

Then, Ou Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you can read these books first. After a while, I will take you to see the real experts, how they take care of herbs."

Hearing these words, Qiu Tong's face changed and she said, "Miss, have you decided to go by yourself?"

Aunt Qin also said: "Yan'er, you have to think clearly that the journey is long and thousands of miles away. Can your body eat and drink?"

Ou Yan smiled and said, "Sister Qin doesn't have to worry about me. Although the journey is a bit far, Qiu Tong also walked a while last time? My body is not as weak as Qiu Tong, why can't I go?"

Qiutong begged: "Miss, I'd better go there again. You have to shoulder the fate of the villa, so it's better to stay in the villa to take charge of the overall situation. Let's do these runaway jobs."

Ou Yan smiled bitterly and said, "As soon as a year has passed, these seeds are still not moving. This is a big problem related to the improvement of the strength of the Piaomiao Sect. I promised it in front of my elder brother that day. If it cannot be solved, wouldn't I become a sinner in the Sect?"

Aunt Qin also advised: "These seeds have been lost for a long time, and the specific planting methods may have been gone long ago. Although you promised to the leader that day, most of them were planted, so why bother with this little?"

Ou Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It is this little bit that is the most important thing. Last time Qiu Tong went there, he stayed away from him. I guess he thought we didn't pay enough attention. If I don't go, wouldn't this path be cut off?"

Seeing that Aunt Qin and Qiutong could not dissuade Ou Yan, they stopped talking. Only Zhang Xiaohua listened to these three people talking, like listening to the heavenly book, and didn't know what they were saying. It seemed that they were injured during the period when they were injured. Didn't Qiutong say that she went to the south and didn't see her? Hearing this, he was going to ask someone to solve the problem of seeds, but they thought Qiutong was wrong and stayed up, so Qiutong came back empty-handed. Now Ou Yan was going to go in person. Well, after Ou Yan's meaning, he had to take her too. The other two felt that Ou Yan had a noble status and was afraid of an accident, so they stopped it.

Zhang Xiaohua figured it out, and saw that the three of them were a little interested, so she quickly thanked Ou Yan for borrowing the book and was about to leave. Ou Yan smiled and encouraged her a few more words, which made Qiu Tong take him down.

Qiutong was in a bad mood, so she took Zhang Xiaohua to Qiuju and her yard with a calm face and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, if you want to find me or the owner of the manor next time, don't rush into it anymore. Although you are young, you still have to abide by the rules of the villa. Wait for you to see Qiuju or others here and let them go in and find me, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I understand, Sister Qiutong, don't be unhappy. I believe there must be a solution."

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "I understand, Xiaohua, you should work hard as well, I hope you can help."

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua walking away with a bag of books, Qiutong turned around and walked quickly.

Zhang Xiaohua walked back with a large bag of books in her left hand, and it was also a loss for Zhang Xiaohua to have 500 kilograms of strength in one arm, so she seemed to be light. It was really hard to change to someone else. I don’t know how Qiu Tong got it from the study to the living room just now.

When Zhang Xiaohua returned to the house, she threw the package on the kang, drank some water, and when she opened it, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide: "My good boy is quite a lot, and there are roughly dozens of books, no wonder it's so heavy."

However, Zhang Xiaohua was immediately overjoyed again. With so many books, the long night had some support.

In the evening, when Zhang Xiaohua finished practicing martial arts and opened a book casually, she suddenly found that it was a little different from the previous books. First, the books in the past were relatively basic, but now these books are obviously more profound, just right for Zhang Xiaohua's current level. Just look at them casually, they are all scratching Zhang Xiaohua's itchyness, making him reluctant to let go; secondly, the blank spaces in each page of the previous books were as clean as before, while in these books, the blank spaces on each page were more or less fine small words written there, and the few words were chatted about in the few places, and the more places were densely written in the whole page. When Zhang Xiaohua squinted her eyes and looked carefully, she found that these words were all about the experiences of reading this page. This was the first time Zhang Xiaohua encountered this way of reading, and she didn't feel that her eyes lit up and read them carefully.

The more Zhang Xiaohua read, the more frightened he became. He admired the person who wrote. These blank annotations not only wrote the key points of this page, but also quoted classics and wrote many things through analogy, which was enough to illustrate the readers' extensive knowledge. As he looked, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something, put down the book in his hand, picked up a book from the kang, opened it, and read it. Sure enough, there were also dense annotations in the book. Then Zhang Xiaohua picked up a few more randomly, all of which were like this.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that such beautiful handwriting was Ou Yan. Looking at such a large pile of books, she could read them in such detail. Zhang Xiaohua felt admired from the bottom of her heart.

Another point is full of gratitude. The owner of the manor really regarded himself as an outsider. He borrowed himself from the books he read on weekdays. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua really put Sister Ou and her sister-in-law to the same height.

With enough books to read, Zhang Xiaohua's life became richer after leaving. She worked in the medicinal field, practiced martial arts in the woods, and studied under the lamp. She was not lonely at all.

However, in his spare time, Zhang Xiaohua also has a little expectation and travel far away!

Last time, Sister Qiutong traveled for several months and said it was the south. She really wanted to go out to see it. Pingyang City, which I had come to since my life, was only a few days away. Judging from the books, the climate, living habits, etc. of the south are very different from Pingyang City, and many medicinal herbs are also different from Pingyang City. If you can go there in person, it is better than just reading books.

The ancients said that it was good to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Zhang Xiaohua actually has this kind of pursuit now. Books really cultivate people and make good things.

However, the journey did not come soon because of Zhang Xiaohua's longing. After a few days, there was no news from anyone, and gradually, Zhang Xiaohua stopped thinking about it.

On that day, Zhang Xiaohua was working in the fields as usual, and saw He Tianshu bringing a few people over. At present, both of them were old men with white hair and beard, and behind them were a few slightly younger people. Some looked gentle and some seemed powerful, but their attitude was the same as He Tianshu, and they were respectful to those two people.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed. She had never seen Captain He like this before. I guess these two were the top leaders of the Pharmacy Hall. She was not from the Piaomiao Sect, and she didn't have to show her that pose with respect. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua lowered her body, carefully delivered soil, hoed weeds, looked at each herb carefully, and observed their status.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. He Tianshu saw him from afar and did not intend to let him go. He was leading the group of people to come here. When he got closer, He Tianshu called out: "Zhang Xiaohua, come here."

Zhang Xiaohua looked up helplessly, took a small hoe and walked over.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua approaching, He Tianshu said to him: "Zhang Xiaohua, come and see Lord Bai and Elder He of our Pharmacy Hall."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly gave a deep bow and said, "I have met Lord Bai, Elder He."

He Tianshu smiled and said to the old man with a purple face: "Master Bai, this is Zhang Xiaohua that I mentioned to you. She is very down-to-earth and capable, and she is extremely smart. She has read a lot of books about herbs."

The two of them did not return the gift, but the Lord Bai waved his hand slightly, while Elder He nodded undeniably and did not speak.

He Tianshu still said a little uninterestedly: "Master Bai, look, Zhang Xiaohua is very interested in learning. There are many books in our church. Can you lend him one or two to open his eyes? After all, he is also working in the medicine field. It is always good to learn more."

Before the Lord Bai could speak, a middle-aged man next to him spoke and said, "He Tianshu, I think you have been in Huanxi Villa for a long time. You have long forgotten the rules of our Piaomiao School. How can the collection of books in this hall be developed for outsiders?"
