After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Chapter 95 Know

Sun Yun took the glass bottle, which was shining brightly to her, as if it were a treasure.

He pulled the cork from the bottle and sniffed it. "It smells refreshing and invigorating. I was a little sleepy at first, but now I feel more awake."

"It can refresh the mind, that's right, that's one of its uses." Gu Niannian said with a smile.

"From what the teacher said, it has other uses?"

Gu Niannian didn't directly explain the use, but simply said, "Is there anyone in your family who is particularly good at attracting mosquitoes? If everyone stands together, mosquitoes will specifically target that person."

Sun Yun clapped her hands and said, "I don't know why, but when my mother, father and I stand together, the mosquitoes only pick on him. I don't know what's going on. If you don't know, you might think the mosquitoes have a grudge against him." Sun Yun covered her mouth and chuckled.

Gu Niannian thought to herself, "Boss Xie Sun and Xie Feixing should have the same blood type—type O, which is generally recognized as the most mosquito-attracting blood type!"

"Apply some of the medicine in this on your body, and mosquitoes won't come near you." Gu Niannian pointed to the glass bottle.

"Is it so magical?" Sun Yun couldn't believe it.

There are many mosquitoes in the summer. In order to prevent my father from being bitten by mosquitoes and getting covered in red spots, he often fumes the house with mugwort, which makes the whole house smell like mugwort. Although it is not unpleasant, it is not so pleasant to always have the smell of mugwort on your body.

But if I don't use mugwort to fumigate, I really can't bear to see my father being bitten so badly.

But this thing doesn't look cheap at first glance. Not to mention the potion inside, I'm afraid she can't even afford the bottle outside.

This was nothing new to Gu Niannian, and it wasn't magical at all. However, she still nodded reluctantly and said, "It can be considered magical!"

Sun Yun carefully put the cork back in and handed it to Gu Niannian. "It's better to let the teacher keep such a valuable item. Yun'er is clumsy and might break it, which would be a sin."

"This thing is not mine. It belongs to Mr. Xie who drives the coach outside. He is very rich. It's just a bottle. He won't mind, right? Mr. Xie..." Gu Niannian deliberately raised her voice.

Xie Feixing raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Since it was given to Miss Gu, it is hers. How can we give it away and then take it back to make decisions?"

"That's true. In fact, there aren't many medicinal herbs available these past few years. They're just some common ones that aren't worth much."

Xie Feixing's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "This girl really knows what's inside."

He smelled several herbs, but for some reason, no matter how he prepared them, he couldn't get the same smell. When Gu Niannian saw this for the first time that day, she wasn't surprised at all. He felt that she must know something about it.

So he endured the risk of being bitten and gave the thing directly to Gu Niannian. Firstly, he felt obligated to give something back, so she softened her heart and agreed to let him go with her. Secondly, he really couldn't think of any other medicinal ingredients in it, so he thought of giving it a try to see if Gu Niannian knew anything.

Sure enough, all my guesses were correct.

Xie Feixing tightened the reins and pulled the horse to a stop. He jumped off the carriage, bowed deeply to the people inside, and said solemnly, "Excuse me, young lady, please tell me something."

Gu Niannian lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. "One, two? I'm sure Master Xie already knows one, two. Do you still need me to tell you?"

Gu Niannian saw all of Xie Feixing's tricks, and she understood that there is no free lunch in the world.

This is also one of the reasons why she doesn't like Xie Feixing. He is a friend worth making, but he is also a businessman who will not do anything without profit. He will calculate you, but will not let you suffer any loss. However, people who truly want to make friends with each other need to be honest with each other and cannot have any calculations, otherwise the relationship will not be pure and there will be cracks.

For such people, Gu Niannian can only and dares to be friends.

Because she and he are the same kind of people, being too similar is a mistake.

So she knew that this type of person, although they appeared cheerful on the surface, could get along with everyone and laugh with everyone, but they knew more clearly in their hearts than anyone else and could see through everyone. Such a person was most suitable for someone as innocent and simple-minded as Sun Yun, who could only be melted by a sincere heart.

"Then please tell me three or four things, young lady!" Xie Feixing followed Gu Niannian's words.

Gu Niannian had no intention of hiding anything, so she asked, "What do you know now?"

Xie Feixing, "Menthol, honeysuckle, and other ingredients have not been researched yet. These two also have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but the effect is not obvious, and the fragrance is not strong enough."

Gu Niannian held her forehead with her hand, "You really only know a thing or two!"

Xie Feixing was thick-skinned and not afraid to speak out. He said with a smug look, "I'm not very talented, but I'd appreciate some advice from you, young lady."

"If the fragrance isn't strong enough, add some fragrant flowers and mash them to extract their juice, such as roses, lavender, and mugwort. The juice of these flowers can be added, but they must be filtered..."

Xie Feixing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Sun Yun looked at Gu Niannian with eyes wide open. "Teacher, how come you are so talented and know everything..."

Gu Niannian doesn’t know everything, it’s just that compared to them, she has the memories of two lives and knows more than them.

Gu Niannian patted Sun Yun's head and said, "Read more books and study more. You will naturally learn it too. There is no need to envy me."

Sun Yun uttered an "oh." She was fine with reading storybooks, but she wouldn't even flip through those women's rules about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

As if Gu Niannian could hear her inner thoughts, she spoke earnestly, "The books that the teacher asked you to read aren't those restrictive books about women's rules and virtues. You can also read storybooks, but you need to be able to distinguish right from wrong. You can also read books like The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean. They will always broaden your horizons."

Sun Yun's eyes widened. "Teacher, can you hear what Yun'er is thinking? Otherwise, how do you know that I don't want to see the female ring?"

Gu Niannian reached out and pinched her cheek. "Just think about it. Your personality is not something that can be taught from books like Women's Rings. If the author of such a book knew that someone like you behaved like this after reading his book, he would jump off the building."

"Haha, Miss Gu is right. A female monk can't teach a girl as silly as her," Xie Feixing's laughter came from outside the curtain of the sedan chair.

"Silly? What's wrong with that? I have food and drink, and I live my life happily. What's wrong with that?"

The quarrel that Xie Feixing expected did not come, on the contrary, someone was proud of it.

Without hesitation, he paused, "You are quite open-minded."

Over the years, he had been searching for the meaning of life. For the sake of his family's business, he had traveled to many places. Suddenly, a little girl enlightened him, "That's right! There is no real meaning in life. Living the life you like is its meaning..."

"There is a farmer's house ahead." Li Jing's words interrupted Xie Feixing's thoughts.
