Chapter 153
There was chilling silence in the magnolia pharmacy.

Fu Jiuqu had to bow his head to greet who the "noble person" was. They didn't dare to think or guess, because when the nobleman entered the door, Xin Yi welcomed him into the inner room, then closed the pharmacy directly, and told the clerk to go home , no longer welcome guests.

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

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

Zhao Guanjia let out a snort, and then snorted again, the sneer sounded awkward even to himself.

"You old bastard, if you were thinking about me, you would not resign and go into hiding. If you were thinking about me, you would not rather come to a small pharmacy for a consultation instead of seeing me."

"This……"

Zhou Daozi had a hard time saying it, and he had a cheeky and cheeky smile on his old face.

"An old minister with a handicapped hand is not worthy of serving an official's noble body."

"Come on." Zhao Zhen waved his hand.

He listened to too many nice words on weekdays, and left the palace in a low suit, not wanting to repeat them over and over again.

He looked down at the reclining chair that Xin Yi specially made for the patient, patted it, frowned, and lay down with the help of the servant, closed his eyes, and said lightly:

"Put away your tricks. Come and show me, what's the matter with the headaches and drowsiness these days? No matter how obedient and flattering you are, I will never let you go lightly!"

Zhou Daozi chuckled, "How dare the old minister."

The emperor said it so lightly, but he didn't mean to blame him. Zhou Daozi boldly stepped forward to ask for his pulse. Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu, and quietly hooked his hands at him, motioning him to come out.

The two walked outside the door of the inner hall, and then Xin Yi whispered:
"The white dunce I made is very suitable for the symptoms of noble people. Is it convenient to take some?"

Fu Jiuqu's clear eyes sank slightly, and they fell on her face.

I haven't seen you for a long time, but this little lady seems to be quite pretty.

This face is as white as jade, and those spots are almost invisible.

But this mouth is even more slippery, there is no loophole that she can't take advantage of.

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

"Didn't Xiangyao be robbed? Where do you still have it?"

Sure enough, he was still seen through.However, this is Fu Jiuqu.

After hearing this, Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Smart people don't say dark words, the things are indeed still in my hands."

Fu Jiuqu flicked the tails of his eyes slightly, showing no surprise.

"You are really bad..."

each other each other.Xin Yi smiled inwardly, but his face was serious, and he bowed slightly, "Thank you, the king of the county, for keeping it secret for me. Then I'll go get some more incense, and say that it's specially for the officials."

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

Xin Yi looked down at his arm, looked sideways suspiciously, and met his gaze.

"Why?"

Fu Jiuqu calmly glanced at the inner room.

Zhou Daozi's voice came from inside. He was an eloquent old man, and made the officials very happy, but Fu Jiuqu's brows sank slightly, and he grabbed Xin Yi's arm, dragged her straight to the yard, and closed the wooden door , then let go of her hand and smiled tepidly.

"Why do you think Zhou Daozi resigned? A man who studied medicine and was a medical envoy of the Imperial Academy can be said to be a glorious ancestor. Where is it not enviable?"

Xin Yi pursed her 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 peeked out his head, sticking out his tongue as if wanting to demonstrate to strangers, but was glared at by Xin Yi, and shrank back aggrievedly.

There was an awkward silence.

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

In the past, he would definitely have ridiculed bitterly, making fun of Xin Yi more or less, but today he said these unclear words, but his expression was calm.

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

As if afraid that she wouldn't understand, Fu Jiuqu added another sentence in an unbelievably gentle tone.

"Unless you have been paying tribute to Duluxiang. Otherwise, don't let the officials like it."

Xin Yi thought for a moment, then smiled lightly, "I understand, but I don't understand it very well, do you think it's strange?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her: "If the officials like it, they can't get it. Tell me, who will be unlucky?"

The biggest official Xin Yi has ever been in his life is a representative of the language department. He doesn't understand officialdom, let alone government affairs, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs walk.

She believed Fu Jiuqu's words.

If the old fox says you can't do it, then you must not do it.

"Okay. I'll prepare fruit tea, and order a pot of fragrant medicine for clearing the heart and eyesight, so that the nobleman will be comfortable when he leaves, and he can think of me in the future."

This time Fu Jiuqu didn't stop him.

He turned around slowly after her back was gone.

"Duan Sui."

Duan Sui walked over quietly, "Master Jiu, my subordinate is here. I've been here all the time, hehe."

Repeating this "always on" is very annoying.

But Fu Jiuqu's eyes were gentle and smiling, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to blame him, "Send me an order, let the brothers greet the robbers well!"

Duan Sui smiled, "Understood. Master Jiu put his heart into his stomach, and the brothers of Huangcheng Division are the most experienced in doing this kind of thing. Don't let his ass blossom. I write my name backwards!"

……

The bastards who snatched goods in the street were all Zhang Lu's nurses, and the young man in brocade with a white jade flute in his hand was Zhang Lu's most capable dog leg and his cousin, named Shi Tang.

Shi Tang is the owner of Du's Fragrance Pharmacy, and Du Zhongqing is the shopkeeper he hired.

But the actual controller behind Dushi Xiangyao is Zhang Lu.

Shi Tang obeyed Zhang Luyan, saying one thing but not two.

Shi Tang's evil deeds are Zhang Lu's crimes, and hitting Shi Tang's ass is slapping Zhang Lu's face.

~~
Xin Yi takes the pharmacy as his home, and from the moment he moved in, he has spent all his time arranging everything here.

She borrowed some excellent experience from later generations, and the same log element was pretended to be a modern minimalist style by her.Warm tones, natural, simple, but ingenious.

Therefore, this small pharmacy is not the largest and most magnificent pharmacy in Bianjing, but it is the most comfortable and caring for patients.

In the inner hall where Zhao Zhen is located, besides reclining chairs and a charcoal stove, there is also a huge window facing the Wuzhang River, from which you can watch the boats coming and going from a distance.

Zhao Zhen had never seen such a big window.

It was square and bright.

There is a small tea room under the window. The utensils are arranged in an orderly manner. There is no luxurious decoration, but it is more open and bright than the common indoor furniture in Bianjing City, without any depression. Once you sit down, you will feel comfortable Much easier.

"Ms. Zhang has a clever mind and is a talented woman."

Zhao Zhen praised Xin Yi, but he said it to Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu hummed expressionlessly.

Xin Yi was embarrassed.

"The little lady doesn't have much knowledge, she just does this to save money. It makes the officials laugh."

She was not being modest.The medicine hall was designed like this purely because she is a modern person.The ancient buildings are beautiful, and she likes to appreciate them, but feels inexplicably depressing to live in them.

It's just a coincidence, it's not a skill.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu frowned solemnly after hearing this.

"Sister-in-law, officials seldom praise others. In this way, I will definitely make the decision for you and get back the lost money. Hurry up and thank you."

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

……

On this day, Zhao Zhen drank Miss Zhang's exclusive fruit tea at the pharmacy, ate a charcoal grill that he had never tried in the palace, and drank two cups of sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Fu Jiuqu's mansion. An earful of Zhang Niangzi's "Fine Brewed Medicinal Wine" and "Bronze Hot Pot Project", all the gluttons ticked off.

"Next time you find another excuse to take me out."

Fu Jiuqu sent him back to the Palace of Funing, Zhao Guan's family ordered him to do so.

Then, he gave him another warning look.

"The matter of going out today must not be known to outsiders."

"Nephew understands." Fu Jiuqu smiled slightly.

Everyone says that being an emperor is good, but being an emperor is actually beyond your control.I don't dare to say that I like things I like, and I have to be hypocritical when facing people I dislike. Even small things like food preferences, I don't dare to let outsiders know easily.

Fu Jiuqu looked at the calm Zhao Guanjia.

"Uncle, how should Zhang's family and nephew deal with it?"

Zhao Zhen paused, and his smiling face sank in an instant. The two eunuchs were so frightened that they lowered their heads, wishing they could stuff their heads into their stomachs.

"Beat him hard, as a warning to others."

Zhao Guanjia opened his arms slowly while speaking, and the servants hurried forward to undress when they saw this.

This punishment is neither light nor severe, but it is not painful or itchy.Beating up Zhang Lu's cousin didn't mean to get to the bottom of Zhang Lu.

Fu Jiuqu responded in a low voice, and said with a cold expression: "Zhang Lu is the son of an honorable minister and the cousin of the imperial concubine. It is understandable that the officials treat him more leniently, but now Shi Tang and the nursing homes are shirking each other. , no one would admit to taking Duluxiang, let alone returning it... that little lady will be lost for nothing..."

On the one hand, he said "there is nothing wrong with it", and on the other hand, he was forcing him to be held accountable.

Zhao Zhen snorted, "It's really hateful that Shitang is robbing the street, but Mrs. Zhang is waiting for a price, disturbing the market price of fragrant medicine, and it's not without fault..."

"Officials." Fu Jiuqu coughed lightly intentionally or unintentionally, and raised his head solemnly, "Miss Zhang is up for sale because the incense is rare and unique in the world. Since there is no incense for sale elsewhere, then There is no price for Duluxiang, so how can we raise the price?"

Zhao Zhen laughed angrily at him, and looked at it in a blink of an eye.

"For a lady Zhang, you have repeatedly disobeyed me..."

"I don't dare." Fu Jiuqu hurriedly bowed his hands, with a gentle but firm attitude, "I just think that compensation is the lowest punishment for robbers. If this is not used, will everyone follow suit in the future and rob people?" If you don’t admit it when you come back, you will be beaten at worst, but you can take things as your own. If things go on like this, where is the law of the country and where will the government’s face be placed?”
