Chapter 763: 763-Old Past
Chapter 763: 763-Old Past
Jing Yunzhao smiled and nodded.
After thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. After all, when Old Man Xu mentioned Mo Zhengyan, his expression was complicated. There was resentment, blame, and nostalgia. Moreover, Mo Zhengyan and Old Man Xu had not seen each other for many years. If he brought it up rashly, it would probably make Mo Zhengyan recall the past, which would only make him sad.
However, since Elder Xu knew Mo Zhengyan and he had once recommended Mo Zhengyan to be her Chinese studies teacher, she naturally wouldn’t reject him. She called him teacher and promised to attend classes on time.
It was always good to learn another skill.
The two stopped at the flower and bird market. The seed market was right next to the market, so Jing Yunzhao did not have to look for it herself. Professor Mo’s destination was also there. He placed his hands behind his back and walked slowly toward the market.
Jing Yunzhao followed the old man and saw that the old man was looking at orchids in a shop.
“Is this a stone orchid?” Jing Yunzhao pointed at a pot of flower seedlings and asked.
“Your eyes are quite sharp. You recognized it at a glance? Could it be that your pharmacy master is also interested in orchids?”Professor Mo said.
“My master is only interested in things that can be used as medicine. The stone orchid is the head of the nine great immortal herbs, so naturally, he loves it a lot.”Jing Yunzhao said.
She had also kept some sarcophagi in her interspace, but there weren’t many of them. Therefore, every time she saw sarcophagi, she would definitely buy them back. Fangzheng’s interspace was large, so there was enough space no matter what.
“Nine great immortal herbs? What are the other eight?” Professor Mo was also interested.
“Tianshan Snow Lotus, 300 grams of ginseng, 120-year-old fleece-flower root, 60-year-old poria cocos, cistanche, deep mountain ganoderma, seabed pearl, and cordycep.”Jing Yunzhao counted them one by one.
“It’s rare for you to remind me of a person. Other than medicinal herbs, he doesn’t say anything good. I like orchids, but he said that I only know how to admire the appearance of orchids and that I’m obsessed with their illusory integrity, but I don’t even know what use they have. I’m not a doctor. I just know that they smell good and are not poisonous.”When Professor Mo said this, he had a proud look on his face.
Jing Yunzhao knew who he was talking about without a doubt. It was probably no one else but Old Man Xu.
The old man was like this. No matter what was placed in front of him, he would first consider the medicinal properties of the item. For example, a blooming flower was not as beautiful as a dried medicinal herb in his eyes. Even if the flowers and trees were priceless, as long as he felt that they could be used as medicine to save people, he would not hesitate to pick them and study them.
He was really at the opposite end of the spectrum from Professor Mo.
One was about integrity, while the other was only about function. If these two people met, there was a high chance that they would quarrel.
Jing Yunzhao’s personality was much more neutral.
The medicinal properties naturally needed to be studied, but she was calmer than Old Man Xu.
Jing Yunzhao picked three pots of orchid, but Professor Mo put down the orchids that he had been looking at, perhaps because he was thinking of Xu Jingzhi. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly muttered,””The flowers haven’t bloomed for long.”
Jing Yunzhao paused and looked up at the old man, but she did not know what to say when she saw something flickering in his eyes.
As expected, he was thinking about the past after thinking about the old people.
