I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Meng Wenjing looked at her closed door and sneered, why did she refuse?

What reason did she have for rejecting him?

Even if you stay with him and be a maid of the Meng family, it is much better than being a brothel girl!

Does she really have to have a title?

Meng Wenjing couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, anxious.

He heard the sound of the door bolt being locked. It was time for her to deliver the medicine. Meng Wenjing turned over and jumped out of bed, ran straight to Ayu, and asked her with a heavy face, "How many children does your mother have?"

His anxious expression looked somewhat sinister to the child. Ayu was so frightened that he stretched out a hand and said in a trembling voice, "Five...five."

"What! Five?!" This number simply overturned Meng Wenjing's understanding of the world, and he shouted in shock.

Ayu was frightened. She didn't know what happened to her master, so she corrected her again, "No...it's six."

Meng Wenjing held his forehead and could not say a word for a long time.

"Master...what's wrong?" Ayu asked cautiously.

Meng Wenjing coughed several times, suppressing the itchiness in his throat, "There is another one...cough cough cough..."

"There is another missing one..." Ayu explained.

Meng Wenjing couldn't stop coughing, and his face turned red from coughing. He hurriedly ran back to the room and drank several pills before he managed to stop his coughing.

He raised his hand tremblingly and made a six.

Six...six?

incredible!

Why would she want to marry into a wealthy family like this? How is it possible?

At least in their Meng family, that’s just a dream, a wishful thinking!

How ridiculous her ambition was, Meng Wenjing smiled bitterly and laughed.

The saddest thing was that Meng Wenjing felt that her huge concessions and compromises could not satisfy her at all.

If she doesn't like it, forget it.

The next day, the weather was sunny and crisp.

Meng Wenjing and his daughter originally made an appointment to go to the mountains to the west to collect herbs, but after what happened last night, he hesitated.

Ayu is the one who is looking forward to it the most, looking forward to the outing. It is her first time to collect herbs, and understanding the growth of common herbs is also an essential skill for becoming a doctor.

Bai Zhi, however, had made preparations early, including dry food, water bags, and snacks. Ayu's expectation infected Bai Zhi, making her feel as excited as she was when she was going to go on a spring outing. After all, it would be good to know more about herbal medicines for daily emergencies. Maybe she can become a three-legged cat doctor!

Bai Zhi and A Yu both carried small backpacks on their backs, but Meng Wenjing still didn't come out of the room. He should have been up by this time.

Bai Zhi and A Yu knocked on his door worriedly, "Doctor Meng? Are you up? Let's go!"

Meng Wenjing stayed up all night and was hesitating. When he heard the knock on the door, he slowly stood up, simply tied up his hair and tidied up.

Bai Zhi and A Yu both thought something had happened and were about to break in when the door creaked open. When Bai Zhi saw Meng Wenjing's bloodshot eyes, she panicked, "Ah! What's wrong with Doctor Meng?" I got sick?"

Meng Wenjing coughed twice, and saw that the two people were in high spirits, carrying small backpacks neatly, and Ayu had two buns tied on top of his head, with fresh flowers on both sides. He was dumbfounded for a moment, and he didn't want to say anything. It was swallowed into the stomach in an instant.

"I'm here to collect medicine, not for fun!" he emphasized.

"Of course, we are all traveling lightly and everything is ready. Shall we set off?" Bai Zhi said in a high-spirited tone.

The excitement in Bai Zhi's eyes seemed a bit fascinating. Meng Wenjing opened his mouth slightly, closed it again, and finally said, "Let's go."

The west side of Danning City is a relatively safe area with dense mountains and forests. Further west, there is a mountain that is difficult to climb and there are no people in it. This mountain ridge is the boundary between Chen State and the Western Regions. Chen State has used this mountain ridge as a barrier to prevent the invasion of Western Region countries for a hundred years.

Danning can also be regarded as a border city. Now Nanbeichen is in chaos. If it were not surrounded by high mountains and ridges, forming a natural protective barrier, it would have been the enemy's land.

In addition, the products were not rich and the officials were lazy, which also led to a certain degree of isolation and indifference to the temples of Chen State.

No one cares about it, which is a natural advantage for Bai Zhi's self-made uprising.

Along the way, Bai Zhi pulled A Yu and jumped around, and she never stopped singing songs.

The warm autumn sun seemed to shine particularly brightly on them.

But does it look like you are here to collect medicine?

Meng Wenjing was sulking alone in the back, but he couldn't bear to be disturbed.

Bai Zhi discovered a common plant on the roadside. It can be pulled out section by section and reattached.

She casually broke off two strands and connected the weeds to both sides of Ayu's eyebrows, making Ayu's eyebrows look like the word "囧".

Ayu found it interesting and pulled out two of them, trying to imitate the gourd and add some decoration to Angelica dahurica's eyebrows.

Bai Zhi knelt down gently and waited quietly for Ayu to decorate her eyebrows.

After finishing her masterpiece, Ayu giggled, "Aniang is beautiful!"

Meng Wenjing looked at her awkward eyebrows, do they look good? Super ugly!

Bai Zhi teased her, "Go and get one for your master!"

Ayu's naughty temper was aroused at this moment, but he coyly said, "I don't dare, he will scold me!"

"Don't be afraid! I'll scold you back!" Bai Zhi bewitched her.

Ayu's heart was moved. She dared to do such treacherous things as teasing her master!

He pulled out two blades of grass, hid them behind his back, and stood in front of Meng Wenjing with a bang.

Meng Wenjing sensed a hint of danger. He inexplicably wanted to squat down, but reason stopped him, and he began to lecture Ayu, "We are here to collect medicine, not to play."

Ayu's bad thoughts were immediately extinguished and he hid the grass in his hand behind his back.

Meng Wenjing's breath froze as he saw the smile on her face turn tense and lost in an instant. Was he a little disappointed?

Meng Wenjing was at a loss for what to do and was filled with guilt. He knelt down, his face burning with shame, "Ayu, do you know the name of this grass?"

Ayu shook his head, and Bai Zhi also came over to study.

"It's called Wenjingcao."

Ayu's eyes lit up, "Wenjingcao? Master's name is also called Wenjing!"

"It's Wenjing from Wenjingcao." Meng Wenjing affirmed.

It was also the first time Bai Zhi heard the name of this weed, and she was still a little curious, "Wen Jing? Why did you choose this name? Don't you rich families care about their own names? How could you name your child after a weed?"

She asked Meng Wenjing about his personal affairs, and he didn't know why his heartbeat was a little faster, so he blurted out, "My childhood name wasn't this, it was called Minggan, 'The pavilion is bright and the sky shines, the moon is flowing.'" !”

After saying that, Bai Zhi felt a little offended and calmed down.

Bai Zhi was still thinking about which two words it was, "Then what? Why did it change?"

She pressed the question further, and Meng Wenjing followed her words and answered, "I was weak and sick when I was a child. Doctors said I would not live to be ten years old. My mother was exhausted both physically and mentally. The doctor treated me like a dead horse and sent me to the hospital." I went to a Taoist temple on the mountain and studied medicine with my master.”

"Master gave me a fortune-telling and said that my life will be tough and difficult. He also said that my name was not good enough, so he asked me to change it to a nickname so that I could make a living. That's why my parents changed my name for me."

Only then did Bai Zhi remember the meaning of the word Minggan. She couldn't remember where she had seen these two words. She always felt that someone had told her in a place where the wind blew in the bamboo forest, "Minggan refers to Xiuzhu? This is a question for Jingcao and Jingcao. Xiuzhu looks almost the same, they are all segment by segment."

Meng Wenjing was slightly startled, "Although they look similar, one is towering into the clouds and the other is prostrate on the ground. They are very different."
