A brilliant idea suddenly occurred

  "Antibiotics?"

  Sun Lang was at a loss.

  Zhen Ming frowned and said, "The disease that Moon's sister has is called a fungal infection in my hometown. Antibiotics are specifically used to inhibit the growth and spread of this fungus. This antibiotic is secreted by certain microorganisms, and it's not easy to collect. In my hometown, this antibiotic can be synthesized artificially, but I don't know if we can find and extract it here. Many instruments are not available in this place."

  "Fungal infection?" Sun Langzhong didn't know what a fungal infection was, or what microorganisms were, but he understood that getting this antibiotic wouldn't be easy.

  "I'm not an expert in this area either, and I couldn't explain it very clearly for the time being. Unfortunately, I don't have more detailed information on hand. I'll go back and think of a solution, and come over again in a few days."

  ……

  For convenience of contact, Zhen Ming Si let Fei Long stay in Sun Lang Zhong's thatched cottage to help with some chores and notify him of anything in a timely manner.

  He returned to the city, decocted medicine and took it, practiced Tai Chi in the yard, went up to the roof to take a look at Zhang's residence, saw her busy as usual in the yard, sat on the roof staring at her figure.

  Just then, a young man in white clothes rushed in from the gate of the courtyard, shouting loudly: "I've finally found you! You're really hard to find!"

  It was the handsome young man who peeked at Zhang's bath.

  Zhen Ming bitterly withdrew his gaze, turned around and descended the stairs, walking towards the house, saying: "What do you want from me? I don't have any relationship with you."

  "Hurry up and think of a way, Sister Zhang has boarded up the windows in her house with wooden boards, we can't see her anymore." The young man looked anxious.

  A life of hardship and bitter fate, lost in silence and laughter.

  "You're still smiling, did you tell her?" The young man rushed up and glared at him fiercely.

  "Do I need to tell her about this? Can't she see it for herself? I'm not as bored as you." Zhen Ming sighed and walked back into the house.

  "Bored?" The young man followed him into the house, heard this and was stunned for a moment, clapped his hands and laughed: "Isn't it boring? In Luoyang City, I only know you, who dares to kick me and pat my head. This young master will let you be my friend!"

  Zhen Ming said bitterly: "Don't drag me into this, you and I are not on the same path."

  "Hum, weren't you just sneaking a peek at Zhang sister too? I saw you from afar!"

  "I'm just admiring the moon."

  "Even if you have nothing to do, don't come looking for me. I'm not as idle as you are, sneaking a peek at girls taking baths every day. I'm an honest person, let's draw a clear line between us."

  The young man suddenly felt his self-esteem greatly hurt, and hummed in his nose: "Is Ben Shao still worried about not having friends? Let's go to the Baifang Building to find Sister Frost to play a tune!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  "Wait a minute!" Zhen Ming's expression changed and he hastily called out to stop him.

  The boy stopped in his tracks, turned around and said gruffly, "What's up?"

  "Is the Baifa Lou you're talking about the same as the one in Hong Xiang's Biyuan?"

  "Why should I tell you!"

  Zhen Ming smiled brightly: "I think you're not a bad person, you still know how to cherish and appreciate women. The kind of men I despise the most are those who bully women. I can see that you genuinely like Zhang Jiejie, unlike those other people who just want to take advantage of her. And since we've been through thick and thin together, I'll reluctantly consider you a friend."

  The young man heard this and turned back with joy, saying: "Of course, apart from Sister Frost, I like Sister Zhang the most. How can I bear to bully her? I will protect her for my whole life!"

  Zhen Ming asked bitterly: "The Frost Sister you mentioned, isn't she the Peony Fairy of the Baifang Building in the Hongxuan Courtyard?"

  That young man looked arrogant: "Except for the peony fairy of Baifang Lou in Hongxuan Bieyuan, whose tune can enter this young master's ears?"

  "Can you take me to see it?"

  "Who are you?" The young man looked Zhen Mingxi from head to toe, shaking his head like a drum wave, "No, no, Frost sister has never liked to see ugly men. Even when I go to her place, I have to choose the right time when she's in a good mood, and I have to take a bath, spray some fragrance, wear clean and nice clothes, or else she won't let me into her room..."

  Although he had a scar on his face, he was still considered to have regular features. But this was the first time someone had called him ugly in front of him. His face involuntarily sank: "Then I won't see you off, listen to Qu Er go instead, I'll go back to my room and sleep."

  That young man was about to offend Zhen, with a bitter fate. He hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "You can follow me, but you have to agree to two conditions."

  Zhen Ming bitterly turned around, with no hint of vitality in his voice, and said with a smile: "Speak."

  "The young man thought for a moment and said, 'Firstly, Sister Frost doesn't like meeting strangers. If you want to meet her, you must pretend to be my guard; otherwise, she definitely won't see you. This way, it's equivalent to deceiving her. If she finds out, I won't even be able to go find her again. So, you absolutely can't reveal your true identity, not a single word can be spoken, and you can't sneak a peek either; just stand outside the door and listen to her play the tune.'"

  "Are there still so many details to consider when listening to a song?"

  "Will you answer or not?"

  Zhen Ming said with a bitter smile: "This is easy, haven't we collaborated once before? Have I ever revealed any flaws?"

  That young man was originally playful, and at this time he also thought it was fun, laughing and saying: "As for the second thing, I know you have a lot of ideas. Since I took you to listen to Sister Frost play the melody, you should also help me think of a way to let me see Sister Zhang every day as an exchange."

  Zhen Ming shook his head and said: "This won't do, helping you sneak a peek at the young lady's bath is something for your underlings to help with, I'm not doing it."

  After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to go back into the house again.

  The young man hastily pulled him and said: "If you don't watch her take a bath, it's okay to secretly watch her make tofu."

  Zhen Ming stopped in his tracks and turned around to ask, "Can't you see her every day now?"

  The young man's expression turned gloomy: "I'm sneaking out now, I don't know if I'll be able to come out again in the future."

  Zhen Ming thought for a moment, then looked up and said: "This I can think of a way to help you."

  "That's great!" The young man jumped up excitedly, his earlier depression vanished into thin air. "Let's go! You go change into some clean and tidy clothes, I'll take you to listen to Sister Frost play a tune!"

  ……

  At the entrance of Hong Xing Bi Yuan in the downtown area of Luoyang City, there are streams of cars and horses, and the lights are shining brightly.

  A long line of luxurious sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the gate of the other courtyard. From the sedan chairs and carriages emerged young men dressed to the nines, with delicate jade decorations hanging from their waists, holding folding fans, and speaking flirtatious words as they walked into the courtyard surrounded by numerous women who were dressed up and showing off their beauty, with some of them revealing part of their shoulders.
