The Xinyi Pharmacy was as silent as cicadas.

Fu Jiuqu bowed his head to greet the person who called him "noble man". They didn't dare to think or guess, because as soon as the noble man entered the door, Xin Yi welcomed him into the inner room, then closed the medicine shop directly and told the clerk to go home.

, no longer welcome guests.

Zhou Daozi was called into the inner hall and saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Official, I haven't seen you for many years. You are in good health, old minister. I miss you very much!"

Zhao Guanjia laughed loudly and loudly again, and the sneer sounded awkward to him.

"You old thing, if you cared about me, you wouldn't resign and go into seclusion. If you cared about me, you wouldn't rather come to a small medicine hall for a consultation instead of treating me."

"this……"

Zhou Daozi spoke of hardships but had a cheeky smile on his face.

"An old minister with weak hands is not worthy of serving an official and a noble body."

"Okay." Zhao Zhen waved his hand.

He had heard too many nice words on weekdays, so he left the palace incognito, not wanting to repeat them again and again.

He lowered his head and glanced at the recliner Xin Yi specially customized for the patient, patted it, frowned, lay down with the help of the chamberlain, closed his eyes, and said calmly:

"Stop that thing of yours. Come and see for me, what's going on with all the headaches and sleepiness you've been having lately? If you're trying to be sweet and begging for favors, I won't take him lightly."

Zhou Daozi chuckled, "How dare you, veteran?"

The emperor spoke so lightly, without any intention of blaming him. Zhou Daozi boldly stepped forward to ask for his pulse. Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu and quietly raised his hand towards him, signaling him to come out.

The two walked outside the inner hall door, and Xin Yi whispered:

"The Bai Du Tuo I made is very suitable for the noble man's symptoms. Isn't it convenient to get some?"

Fu Jiuqu's clear eyes sunk slightly, falling on her face.

I haven’t seen you for a long time, but this little lady seems to be much more beautiful.

This face is as white as jade, and the marks are almost invisible.

But this mouth is even more slippery, and there is no loophole that she cannot exploit.

Fu Jiuqu sneered, with an imperceptible hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Hasn't the fragrant medicine been robbed? Where do you still have it?"

Sure enough, he saw through it. But, this is Fu Jiuqu.

Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"If Mingren doesn't tell secrets, the thing is indeed still in my hand."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes slightly, showing no signs of surprise.

"You are so obviously evil..."

They talked to each other. Xin Yi smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was serious, and he bowed slightly, "Thank you to the prince for keeping the secret for me. Then I will get some more incense and say that it is specifically to honor the officials."

"No more." Fu Jiuqu raised his hand to stop her.

Xin Yi looked down at his arm, looked at him suspiciously, and looked at him.

"Why?"

Fu Jiuqu calmly glanced at the inner room.

Zhou Daozi's voice came from inside. He was an eloquent old man who made the officials very happy. However, Fu Jiuqu's brows sank slightly, grabbed Xin Yi's arm, dragged her straight to the yard, and closed the wooden door.

, then he dropped her hand and smiled tepidly.

"Why do you think Zhou Daozi resigned? A man who studied medicine and was a medical officer in the Hanlin Academy can be said to have a glorious ancestor. Wherever he goes, he will not be envied?"

Xin Yi pursed his lips and looked at him thoughtfully.

Fu Jiuqu also stopped talking.

The yard was very quiet. Only "Cheng Yaojin" in the kennel under the eaves showed his head and took a look. He stuck out his tongue as if he wanted to demonstrate to strangers. Xin Yi glared at him and then retreated aggrievedly.

There was an awkward silence.

"Just make him a pot of fruit tea." Fu Jiuqu was the first to speak to break the silence.

In the past, he would have been sarcastic and would have made fun of Xin Yi to some extent, but today after saying these unclear words, his expression was calm.

"Fruit tea can be made at any time. White tea is not available everywhere. Do you understand?"

As if he was afraid that she would not understand, Fu Jiuqu added another sentence, his tone of voice too gentle.

"Unless you keep paying tribute to it, don't let the officials like it."

Xin Yi thought for a moment and smiled softly, "I understand, but I don't understand it very well. Do you think it's strange?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her: "If the official likes it but can't get it, who would be unlucky?"

The biggest official Xin Yi had ever held in his life was a representative of the Chinese language department. He didn't understand officialdom, let alone government affairs, but he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs walking. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, so he understood a little bit.

She believed what Fu Jiuqu said.

Whatever the old fox says you can't do, you must never do it.

"Okay. I'm going to prepare fruit tea, and order a pot of fragrant medicine to clear the mind and improve the eyesight, so that the noble man will feel comfortable when he leaves, and he can think of me well in the future."

This time Fu Jiuqu didn't stop him.

When her back was gone, he slowly turned around.

"Duan Sui."

Duan Sui walked over quietly, "Master Jiu, my subordinates are here. They are always here, hehe."

Repeating the word "always" will be very annoying.

But Fu Jiuqu's eyes were gentle and smiling, and he didn't mean to blame him at all. "Send my order and let the brothers greet the robbers properly!"

Duan Sui said with a smile on his face, "I understand. Master Jiu puts his heart into his stomach and handles this kind of thing. The brothers in the Imperial City Division are the most experienced. If he doesn't let his butt blossom, I will write my name backwards!"

…

The gangsters who were snatching goods on the street were all Zhang Lu's guards, and the young man in brocade robes with the white jade flute in his hand was the most powerful henchman around Zhang Lu. He was also his cousin, named Shi Tang.

Shi Tang is the owner of Du's Fragrant Medicine Shop, and Du Zhongqing is the shopkeeper he hired.

But the real person behind Du's fragrant medicine is Zhang Lu.

Shi Tang followed Zhang Luyan's advice, saying one thing but not doing another.

The evil deeds Shi Tang did were Zhang Lu's sins. Slapping Shi Tang on the butt would be a slap on Zhang Lu's face.

~~

Xin Yi calls the drug store his home, and from the moment he moved in, he put a lot of thought into decorating everything here.

She drew on some excellent experiences from later generations, and the same log elements were transformed into a modern minimalist style. Warm tones, natural, simple, but original.

Therefore, this small pharmacy is not the largest and most magnificent one in Bianjing, but it is the most comfortable and considerate to patients.

The inner hall where Zhao Zhen was located, in addition to deck chairs and a charcoal stove, also had a huge window facing the Wuzhang River, where you could watch the ships coming and going from a distance.

Zhao Zhen had never seen such a big window.

It's square and straight, and it's clear.

Under the window is a small tea room. The utensils are arranged in an orderly manner. There is no luxurious decoration. However, it is more open and bright than the common indoor home furnishings in Bianjing City. It is not at all depressing. Once you sit down, you will feel relaxed.

Much easier and faster.

"Ms. Zhang is a talented woman with an ingenious mind."

Zhao Zhen praised Xin Yi, but he was speaking to Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu hummed expressionlessly.

Xin Yi was embarrassed.

"The little lady has no sense. She did this just to save money and make the officials laugh."

She didn't mean to be modest. She designed the medicine hall like this simply because she is a modern person. The ancient buildings are beautiful and she likes to admire them, but she feels inexplicably depressed when living there.

It's just a coincidence, not a skill.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu frowned seriously after hearing this.

"Sister-in-law, it's rare for officials to praise others. So, I will definitely make the decision for you and get back the lost money. Why don't you thank me now?"

Zhao Zhen was drinking tea with his head down and almost choked when he heard this.

…

On this day, Zhao Zhen drank Mrs. Zhang's exclusive fruit tea at the medicine shop, ate a charcoal barbecue that he had never tried in the palace, and drank two cups of osmanthus wine from Fu Jiuqu Mansion. When he left, he also listened to

After listening to Madam Zhang’s “Fine Wine and Medicinal Wine” and “Copper Hotpot Project”, my greedy mind was aroused.

"Next time, you can find a reason to take me out."
