Qin shook his head.
If it weren't for the sweat medicine she gave, there's no telling what the outcome would have been. Each has its own pros and cons.
"There is room for getting into trouble, but if you lose your life, you have nothing..."
Mrs. Qin sighed.
Back home, Lian Suisui had been in a bad mood. Song Jing made a fuss about escorting more than fifty people from Zuoye's army, including the commander, back to the capital. A day or two later, a snowflake of memorials poured in from the ministers. Enter the royal study.
This matter has really become a big deal.
But the storm outside was borne by the elders of the family. Lian Suisui was bored and playing with the medicinal materials at home, thinking of the wooden box Chu Zhiyi once gave her.
"Xiao Tao, where is the wooden box you brought back from the other courtyard?"
After returning to Beijing, everyone made a tacit agreement not to mention Chu Zhiyi. Even Suisui had almost forgotten about him. I wonder if he had sought medical treatment for his leg after returning to Beijing.
"My slave has put it away for you. Miss, please wait a moment. I will go and get it now!"
Xiao Tao added a lock to the wooden box, and Suisui opened it to see what was inside.
"What's this?"
It doesn't look like a banknote, but when you unfold it, it turns out to be a house deed!
Below the house deed is a land deed, and below that is...a deed of sale?
Good guy, Chu Zhiyi gave her a pharmacy as a gift!
Even the people and the land were given to her!
Lian Suisui thought it was too expensive and inappropriate, and at the same time the corners of her mouth turned up crazily. Chu Zhiyi understood her so well that it would be more satisfying to directly give her a pharmacy than to give her 10,000 taels of gold!
The drug store was located on West Street, and even Suisui couldn't sit still for a moment.
"Xiao Tao, pack up and let's go out!"
Xiao Tao looked at the gloomy sky.
"Miss, the clouds in the sky are so thick and it's going to snow. Do you want to go out now?"
It was so cold outside that I shivered even as I spoke, but it couldn't stop Lian Suisui's enthusiasm.
She shook the house deed and land deed in her hands.
"Your lady, I want to be the landowner, let's go inspect it!"
Xiaotao was also happy for her.
He ordered the carriage to be prepared in the front yard, and followed Lian Suisui to find the address on the land deed, which was a small pharmacy in an inconspicuous corner of West Street.
Although the weather is cold, people still have to work to make a living. People come and go on the street. This place has a good customer base. The two doctors in the drugstore are almost overwhelmed with work. There are too many people.
But it's not too conspicuous. There are seven or eight such pharmacies on one street.
Miaoshoutang!
Lian Suisui likes this name.
"It's getting cold. Let's drink a bowl of ginger tea to warm ourselves up!"
There is a big pot at the entrance of Miaoshou Hall, which provides free ginger tea to passers-by. Even if a little beggar comes, the medicine boy who makes tea will fill a big bowl of tea.
"Doctor, I really can't afford the money. Can I owe it first and settle the bill after I get paid?"
Lian Suisui got off the car and walked into the drugstore. A woman holding a baby had her fingers red and swollen from the cold, but she was reluctant to buy herself a box of ointment. She held a seven- or eight-month-old baby in her arms, and her clothes were patched. Stacking up patches is really a financial constraint...
"I can give you an IOU!"
The woman was illiterate, so the shopkeeper waved his hand.
"There are three doses of medicine in total. They are not worth much. After getting paid, I will buy some eggs for the children to eat first. The children will eat more good ones so that they will not get sick all the time!"
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
The woman wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but the shopkeeper predicted the woman's move in advance and hurriedly helped her up.
"I still have guests here, so I won't send them off. Go slowly."
The shopkeeper raised his head to face Lian Suisui and said with a kind smile, "I don't know what's wrong with you, Miss. What kind of medicine do you want to buy?"
Lian Suisui took out the house deed and several deeds of sale, and the shopkeeper hurriedly paid his respects.
"I didn't know that the new owner was here. I made the decision without permission. I didn't charge the medical fees. I paid for it myself. Please don't blame me!"
The shopkeeper winked at the two doctors sitting in the hall and asked them to come over to meet the new owner, but the two men acted as if they hadn't seen him and just went about their work.
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.
Lian Suisui took a look and saw that there were only five people in Miaoshou Hall including the medicine boy at the door.
"I'd rather the medicine on the teaching shelf becomes dust, and I hope everyone in the world is fine. What's wrong, sir?"
There were many patients coming to see the doctor. Lian Suisui waved his hand and asked the doctor sitting in the hall to continue the treatment.
"The villain Ning Er, please come to my master's house to invite me."
Leaving an apprentice behind to grab the medicine, Ning Er took Lian Suisui to the backyard.
Although the store is small, the yard inside is not small.
Ning Er introduced: "To the east is the warehouse. The medicinal materials in our store are purchased directly from the prince's caravan. The cost is cheap and the medicine is effective, so the medicine prices in our store are also low."
"The room on the west side is for the two doctors and apprentices. Our pharmacy, including the villain, has signed a contract of sale with the prince, but don't worry, boss, now that the prince has given this pharmacy to you, we will listen to you in everything. "
The shopkeeper smiled unnaturally and flatteringly, making Suisui's skin crawl.
"Okay, I don't have any requirements for you. As long as the pharmacy doesn't lose money, you can do whatever you want."
No matter how cheap the medicinal materials are, it is impossible to directly waive the cost of the medicine without verification. Even Suisui is afraid of losing money and has to subsidize it herself.
"Bring me the account book and take a look."
Ning Er sighed, took out a stack of account books, and said proudly: "Don't worry, boss, our pharmacy has Dr. Qian and Dr. Wu here, so it's impossible to lose money."
He bared his teeth and smiled cheerfully. Lian Suisui opened the account book in confusion and soon found the answer.
"Why are Doctor Qian and Doctor Wu's consultation fees so high?"
It's a little abnormal to be high! One hundred taels of silver is charged for a single visit, and that’s not included. The cost of medicine is also included. After the disease is cured, you have to pay again!
Turning directly to the monthly checkout, who would have thought that the monthly net profit of a small drugstore would be thousands of taels of silver, sometimes tens of thousands of taels?
"Are you doing a serious business?"
This is more profitable than a certain federation!
Lian Suisui had reason to suspect that they might have gone out and done something illegal!
Ning Er chuckled and said, "Does the boss know the reputation of Doctor Qian and Doctor Wu outside?"
Lian Suisui shook his head, are you famous?
Doctor Qian is the older one, wearing a gray cloth gown and looks unremarkable at all. Doctor Wu is younger, but as the saying goes, a hairless mouth means a weak workman. How old is he? He is twenty-five years old. Years old?
Ning Er said mysteriously: "They all say Nan Wu and Bei Qian, and they are talking about our Doctor Wu and Doctor Qian. The two of them were unable to solve the problem in the prince's body. They made a bet with the prince at that time. If someone could solve the problem, After removing the poison from the prince and curing the prince's leg disease, the two of them were willing to sell themselves to the prince."
"No, the prince went out for a trip. When he came back, not only was the poison on his body cured, but his legs were also healed and he could stand up and walk. The two of them were willing to admit defeat and voluntarily signed the deed of betrayal!"
"Don't worry, boss, we can only get half of the money we earned before. From now on, both of them are ours, and all the money they earn is yours!"
From the tone of his voice, it seemed that he didn't know that it was Lian Suisui who cured Chu Zhiyi of the poison.
"I wonder which master the prince has found, who is even more powerful than Doctor Qian and Doctor Wu! If I have a chance, I would also like to meet him!"
Chu Zhiyi really didn’t speak clearly!
Lian Suisui suppressed laughter in his heart.
At this time, it was dinner time and there were finally fewer patients coming to see the doctor. The two doctors Qian Wu reluctantly came to pay their respects to Lian Suisui.
"No gift."
Most capable people are aloof and arrogant. Thinking about it from another perspective, if she was asked to salute others, she would not be willing.
It just so happened that the two of them had no intention of saluting.
If Chu Zhiyi can't be cured, it doesn't mean that they are willing to be disciplined by a girl.
"Ning Er, what does the Ninth Prince mean? We are willing to admit defeat and sign the contract of betrayal, but it does not mean that we have to bow down to a girl. Is the Ninth Prince humiliating us?"
Young people are even more impatient.
