Xin Yi immediately put down his sleeves, washed his hands casually by the well, went out with a smile to welcome Cao Yi into the inner hall, and then personally served him homemade fruit tea.

"I asked why the southwest wind suddenly blew today. It turned out to be blowing Mr. Cao here."

She smiled very happily, almost reaching her ears. Cao Yi didn't know what she was thinking, but he felt her enthusiasm. He lowered his head to take a sip of fruit tea and smiled slightly.

"The taste of Mrs. Zhang's tea is very different from other teas. Once you have eaten it, you will never forget it."

Xin Yi smiled and continued it for him.

"Master Cao comes here often, anytime."

Cao Yi looked at her smiling face, and his heart felt warm for no reason.

The fire in the medicine hall is far not as warm as the fine charcoal in Cao Mansion, but he just likes to sit here, eat the fruit tea made by Mrs. Zhang, look at her starry eyes, and smell the medicine hall

The unique medicinal fragrance in it makes your mind and body refreshed.

"To tell you the truth, madam, I haven't eaten yet today."

Cao Yi has always observed etiquette, but it is rare for him to be so shameless.

Seeing Xin Yi's surprise, he smiled sheepishly at first.

"I got up to go to court before the fourth watch. When I came back, I had some official business to attend to, so I was delayed. I just passed by Ma Xing Street and smelled the delicious food at my wife's house, so I came in shamelessly and begged for food."

puff!

Xin Yi smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared.

"The front office of the palace is so close to my medicine shop. Mr. Cao often comes and goes. If you want to eat or drink, if you have a headache or a fever, just come to me. There is no need to be polite to me."

When doing business, you have to be warm and polite.

Xin Yi spoke warmly, with a smile on his face.

Cao Yi looked at her, nodded seriously, and said "good".

Seeing that her husband was almost done with the work, Xin Yi asked her to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones. He went to the stove and took out one of the steamed pork Xiang Ling made last night and put it on the pot. He didn't have the nerve to heat up the leftovers, but

I cooked two side dishes myself, cooked a leek and egg drop soup, served it with steamed pork vermicelli.

"It's common food, Mr. Cao will use a little."

After saying that, she handed the chopsticks to Cao Yi's hand and smiled ominously.

"After Mr. Cao finishes eating, may I make one more small request?"

Cao Yi looked up with a smile, "What do you want me to do? Madam Zhang, it's okay to just tell me."

"We'll wait until the adults eat."

"If Mrs. Zhang refuses to tell me, I don't dare to eat this meal."

Xin Yi served him a bowl of soup with a smile, and stood aside and said: "My little sister's sister ran away from home because of her anger with the family. I would like to ask Mr. Cao to help me draw a small portrait to use to find her."

.”

Cao Yi took the soup bowl with both hands and said with a smile, "This is easy to say."

"Thank you, sir."

"It's just a little effort."

"Master Cao's painting skills are superb, he is really good..." Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he honestly admitted, "If I find a painter and I'm short of two taels of silver, I'm afraid no one will be willing to paint."

Cao Yi ate slowly, glanced up at her, smiled and shook his head.

Xin Yi suddenly blushed and coughed lightly.

"I am from a small family and have a lot of people and a lot of expenses. I can save a little bit. I don't mean to bother Mr. Cao, but it does cause trouble for you."

Cao Yi held the bowl, his palms were hot, and his heart was boiling hot at the young lady's words.

Inexplicable emotions welled up in his heart, and he didn't even notice it, and no words came out of his mind.

"I hope my wife will come to trouble me more often."

Xin Yi was startled.

Cao Yi was also stunned.

The two looked at each other. Cao Yi's ears were red and he smiled at her sheepishly.

"Cao is being abrupt. What I want to say is that the young lady is very talented. Cao admires her very much and unconsciously regards her as my best friend..."

"Then I'm not a high achiever?" Xin Yi smiled heartily and said very freely and authentically: "As the saying goes, many friends lead to many paths. If Mr. Cao doesn't dislike it, I am very willing to make you a friend."

Cao Yi: "My pleasure."

Xin Yi grinned and joked with him for a few more times. When he heard the waiter calling, he took his leave.

The pharmacy has not officially opened yet, but there are still many finished medicines left by Sun Yuzhi on the counter. If any old customers of Sun's pharmacy come over, Xinyi will also sell medicines and introduce some new medicines by the way.

She stood at the door of the drug store, talking to the customers.

Diagonally across the street from Dujiaxiang Medicine Shop, the door is open and people are coming and going.

Du Zhongqing's white hair is very conspicuous.

Even more conspicuous than him was Fu Jiuqu, who lazily entered the threshold.

He brought several attendants from the Imperial City Department, whether it was official or private business, and as soon as he arrived at the incense shop, he attracted everyone to stop and watch.

I annoy people wherever I go...

Everyone is looking at him.

Xin Yi was startled and looked over involuntarily.

Fu Jiuqu seemed to notice her look and turned his head.

The two people's eyes met in the air. Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled at him as a greeting. Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes carelessly, looked at her intently for a moment, then turned around with an unhappy expression, snorted, and shook his head.

Xiu entered the incense and medicine shop.

Good guy!

What a bad temper.

You didn't offend him, so why bother?

After Xin Yi finished slandering Fu Jiuqu, sent away the guests and went back, Cao Yi had already finished his lunch.

She asked her husband to clear the table, and then invited Cao Yi to the prepared desk.

"Master Cao, please."

Cao Yi smiled, rolled up his sleeves and picked up his pen.

"It's been a long time since I painted a portrait to show off my ugliness."

"No, no, I have great confidence in Mr. Cao."

Cao Yi glanced at her, his eye sockets were filled with smiles, and his eyes were indescribably soft. However, Xin Yi lowered his head to rub his ink, thinking about Wen Zi's appearance in his mind, and did not notice the look in his eyes.

Xin Yi and Wen Zi have met several times, and they can describe Wen Zi's appearance, but they are not as detailed as Hunan and Xiang Ling.

Therefore, she gave a rough outline and called her husband in. Just in time for Xiang Ling to come back, she described the two little sisters in one word, so Xin Yi didn't need to interrupt anymore and concentrated on polishing the ink for Cao Yi.

Tea.

What Fu Jiuqu saw when he came in was this red-sleeved look.

There was no communication or report, and the Prince of Guangling County arrived without a sound. The dark look on his handsome face was very ugly.

"Commander Cao is very leisurely and elegant."

Cao Yi:......

Xin Yi:……

The two looked at each other.

Doesn't he feel that he came unexpectedly?

Cao Yi chuckled, "It made the prince laugh. I'll help Lady Zhang draw a small portrait."

Fu Jiuqu looked at Xin Yi calmly.

Help her draw a portrait?

Xin Yi knew that Fu Jiuqu had misunderstood, but it was inconvenient to explain. He glared angrily at the waiter who followed Fu Jiuqu in. Seeing the nervous look on his face, Xin Yi could only sigh helplessly.

"Why is the prince here?"

Xin Yi motioned to Xiang Ling to show Fu Jiuqu his seat, "You didn't say anything in advance, it's really scary."

Fu Jiuqu: "I come to see the child, do I have to leave a message for you?"

"..."

"The door of your medicine hall is open. Is it inconvenient to see guests?"

"..."
