A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 342: 3 Xiu refuses to see Yang Xi

At noon, bursts of heart-stirring piano sounds like sawing wood suddenly came from the backyard of Sanxiu Medicine Store. The medicine boys who had just finished their breakfast in the store suddenly heard the extremely unpleasant piano sounds, their faces changed instantly, and they all covered their ears in disgust and fled to the front yard.

Squeak....hiss.....dang.....

In the study, even with the windows and doors closed, the piano music could not be avoided. On little Chenlin's tender face, his eyes, nose and mouth were almost twisted into a ball, and the pen held in the air was trembling and he could hardly continue writing.

"This is a great opportunity to train yourself to calm down and concentrate, so don't give up." Xiu Ming, who was sitting next to him, slowly put down the medical book in his hand and smiled at Chen Lin in a dignified and gentle manner. It seemed that he was accustomed to the extremely unpleasant piano sound, so he didn't even frown.

"Master, I have never heard the owner of the manor play the zither. I didn't expect..." As soon as Xiu Ming started talking, Chen Lin lost interest in practicing calligraphy. He simply put down the pen in his hand and stood close to him. He swallowed before he finished his previous words and continued to ask, "What happened to the owner of the manor so early in the morning?"

To the young and frail Chen Lin, the sound of the piano was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which made him feel uneasy. That's why he wanted to go closer to the master.

Xiu Ming did not answer, but just smiled and hugged the frightened Chen Lin in his arms, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

Since the master promised Madam Honghua that he would help Miss Xuanyu get rid of the flower bite poison, he has been studying the flower bite poison until late at night every day. However, more than a month has passed and the master still has not thought of a way to detoxify. In less than a month, the poison in Miss Xuanyu's body will take effect. If Madam Honghua does not come with the antidote in time, she will be in danger. Therefore, the master's heart is inevitably anxious and irritable. Without his junior sister, Xiuming knows that he can't help much, so he can only worry.

Sanxiu's zither skills have never been very good. Whether the sound he plays is pleasing to the ear depends on his current mood. When he is happy, he can still play plucked music, but if he is in a restless mood like today, the music will be unbearable to the ear. Therefore, he rarely takes out the zither to play. It is not surprising that Chen Lin has never heard of it since he came to the manor for only half a year. Even Si Yao has only heard of it once in more than two years at the medicine manor, and he bluntly commented in front of his master Sanxiu that he has no talent for zither skills. Since then, Sanxiu has even less energy to pluck these strings.

In another wing, Yu Yu couldn't help but look solemn when she heard the noise coming from outside. Her brows were furrowed, and her pink lips trembled slightly as she tried to suppress the anger in her heart. She was a master of playing the zither, so she couldn't stand the zither being ruined like this. But unfortunately, her delicate hands still didn't have enough strength to touch the strings, otherwise she would definitely teach Mr. Sanxiu how to play the zither.

"Shall I take you for a walk in the front yard?" Zeng Si, who was standing next to Yan Yu, couldn't bear the sound of the piano. Seeing the painful look on her face, he squatted down hurriedly and said gently.

"The front yard is too noisy at this time, let's go to the back mountain." After Zeng Si's suggestion, Yan Yu also felt that she urgently needed to find a quiet place.

"it is good."

Zeng Si agreed, took a cloak and put it on Yan Yu before slowly helping her walk out of the room.

At the same time, someone knocked on the gate of the pharmacy. It happened that all the pharmacists were gathered in the front yard. Rong Fan reacted quickly and ran to open the door.

"Who are you?" Rong Fan asked curiously when he saw that the visitor was a young man who did not look like a patient.

"My master is here to visit Mr. Sanxiu." The young man respectfully took out a visiting card and handed it to Rong Fan, then turned around and pointed to a carriage not far away and said.

"Wait a moment." Rong Fan raised his eyes to look at the carriage and turned to run to the backyard.

The sound of the piano was still going on, and Rong Fan naturally knew that the owner of the manor was in a bad mood at the moment. He did not dare to deliver the visiting card in person, so he had to run to the study to find the master first.

"Why is he here?" Xiu Ming looked at the two words "Yang Xi" on the visiting card, and his usually gentle face couldn't help but darken.

"Sir, you recognize him too?" Rong Fan saw the change on Xiu Ming's face and asked curiously.

"Yeah." Xiu Ming didn't say much, just nodded and walked out of the study quickly, following the sound of the piano.

Looking at the hurried figure of the great master, Rong Fan and Chen Lin looked at each other, becoming even more curious about who this visitor was.

It was not until Xiuming entered Mr. Sanxiu's room that the sound of the piano finally stopped. The listeners all rubbed their ears and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yangxi?" Sanxiu's face changed drastically after reading the visiting card. He angrily threw the visiting card to the door and snorted, "What is he doing here again?"

"How about Master, you should meet him and find out why he came?" Xiu Ming looked back at the visiting card on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"No!" Sanxiu glared at his disciple and continued, "You are not allowed to go either. Don't forget, if he hadn't set it up, your sister wouldn't have been entangled by Emperor Yan and ended up getting herself involved!"

"But he is a minister in the court after all, and we may not want to offend him." Although the master said so, Xiu Ming looked embarrassed. He was the person in charge of Sanxiu Pharmacy, so naturally he had to consider the whole pharmacy, so he slowly persuaded again.

Although Yangxi is now a minister in the court, he and Sanxiu were neighbors who grew up together. Later, Yangxi entered the official career, while Sanxiu chose to go into medicine to save lives. Although the two parted ways and rarely saw each other again, they still exchanged letters.

Twenty years ago, Yang Xi accompanied Emperor Yan on a private visit to the south, and unexpectedly met Leng Ying, a traveling doctor. When they first met, Leng Ying was wary of Emperor Yan and left without saying a word. But even so, Emperor Yan was obsessed with Leng Ying. In order to comfort him, Yang Xi asked people to find out. When he learned that Leng Ying was Sanxiu's apprentice, he still planned to invite her to see Emperor Yan on the pretext of illness. How could the simple and kind Leng Ying withstand Emperor Yan's step-by-step pressure? She soon let down her guard and completely fell into his gentle land.

Therefore, while Sanxiu hated Yan Huang for kidnapping his proud disciple, he naturally also took his anger out on Yang Xi, and they never had any contact again after that.

"Humph, I, Sanxiu, have offended even the current prince, so why should I be afraid of a minister in the court?" Sanxiu sneered disapprovingly and continued, "Send someone to tell them that I am ill recently and cannot see guests. If there is no important patient today, don't call me."

"Yes." Xiuming naturally understood the master's temper, so he did not persuade him again. He just saw him raise his hand to touch the strings of the zither again, and hurriedly said: "Master, it's almost 9 o'clock. I'm afraid a patient will come in soon. The sound of your zither..."

"I understand." Sanxiu glanced at his apprentice, then put down his hand with a sigh.

Xiu Mingchang breathed a sigh of relief, then left the room and came to the front yard, and asked Rong Fan to refuse the visitors outside according to Master Sanxiu's instructions.

Yang Xi, who was in the carriage, couldn't help but look at Sanxiu Medicine Store and sighed helplessly after hearing what his guard had said: "Sanxiu, Sanxiu, why are you getting more and more petty as you get older? It's been more than 20 years and you still won't forgive me?"

Then the carriage turned around and slowly drove away.
