Noble First Daughter-in-law

I saw that Pei Xingyuan folded his hands on his chest in a calm manner, looking at the people in front of him in a leisurely manner, seeing how they were complaining, his eyes were still smiling, but he didn't say a word.

Shang Ruyi clenched her fists subconsciously, watching this scene nervously.

And these patients in Changle Square were aroused by the middle-aged man, not only disliked the high price of the soup, but also seemed to want to vent the anger of being sick these days, having nowhere to seek medical treatment, and having nowhere to live and die. Complaining and cursing non-stop, the mouth was full of foam for a while, and the scene was so chaotic that a pot of porridge boiled.

However, no matter how intense the emotion is, there is always a time to calm down.

What's more, no matter how much they abused, the person standing opposite never said a word. It felt like punching cotton with a fist—no, if the fist was swung empty, it would not only be useless, but also more laborious.

Gradually, everyone became quiet.

These people looked at me and I looked at you. Not only did the scene become quiet for a while, but it was even more embarrassing.

And it wasn't until this time that Pei Xingyuan smiled lightly: "Everyone, are you finished?"

Everyone was scolding dryly. At this time, they were a little breathless and speechless. They could only look at him. Pei Xingyuan reached out and brushed his clothes, and then said slowly: "You think this medicine is expensive, don't you think it's expensive?" False, but you have to know that there is a reason why it is expensive, after all—if I hadn’t brought these medicines, let alone a bowl of medicine for a penny, you might not be able to buy it for a tael of silver.”

"..."

"At that time, the money will be left. Are people still alive?"

"..."

"Besides, can the medicines that are commonly sold compare with these medicines like mine? I brought it back from near Luoyang. You don't know how messy it is over there. It was transported to Daxing after climbing mountains and wading thousands of miles. Tofu You have to sell it for the price of meat, let alone a life-saving medicine!"

"..."

"So, if you want to blame, you shouldn't blame me, the person who sold you life-saving medicine."

"..."

"If you want to blame, you have to blame the person who knew there would be a plague, but deliberately searched out the medicinal materials in the city early to put you to death!"

After he finished speaking, the faces of the patients around him changed.

Indeed, although Pei Xingyuan's medicine is expensive, it has not reached the point of ruining the family. A bowl of medicine for one penny, two bowls a day, even if it takes ten days and a half months, it will only cost two or three taels of silver. If you don't come out, it is possible for poor people to grit their teeth and scrape together the money for life-saving medicine.What is really hateful is the person who searched all the medicinal materials in the city in advance, leaving them with nowhere to turn for help.

Thinking about it this way, those patients couldn't help clenching their teeth and cursed secretly.

Seeing that the emotions of the people around were mobilized again, but in the completely opposite direction, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

No wonder, Shen Wuzheng must let Pei Xingyuan do this.

Without the ability to be "skinless and shameless", there is really no way to calm everyone down at this time, and to say these words so rationally.

You know, selling medicine at this time, and selling it so expensive, is taking advantage of the fire, or even "cutting leeks", but Pei Xingyuan's eloquence made everyone speechless; moreover, the people here He didn't even realize that he confused the matter of searching for medicinal materials with the matter of "knowing" that there would be a plague!
In this way, the anger of the crowd is not only the serious illness and lack of medicine, but also the anger of being harmed!
Seeing everyone like this, Pei Xingyuan knew that his words had an effect, so he took another step forward, and slowly said to these patients with different emotions: "In short, a bowl of medicine for a penny, the medicine will cure the disease, I won’t accept more, and I won’t sell less.”

"..."

"You want to live, I ask for money, no one is in the way."

"..."

"Now, if you want to survive, come up and buy medicine."

His last words were like making a final decision on today's chaos.

For a while, the whole scene fell silent again.

But the silence this time was no longer the powerless and stalemate silence after the scolding just now, but the silence of everyone, they all returned to their positions silently and started to line up again.

After all, everyone wants to live.

Seeing this situation, Pei Xingyuan immediately winked at the person behind the long table, and the person who was about to step back while protecting the medicine pot immediately stepped forward and continued to pour soup into the empty bowl on the table. He sat back, picked up his pen and account book, and asked again: "Who is the name of Fangshi where I live?"

The visitor said: "Datongfang, Chen Anye."

Shang Ruyi, who was standing aside, let out a long sigh of relief.

It wasn't until this time that she felt that her palms were cold and wet. She just unconsciously clenched her fists, and her palms were covered with cold sweat.

Just now, she almost thought that something would really happen in Changlefang today.

Fortunately, Pei Xingyuan stabilized the situation.

Speaking of it, although she likes Pei Xingyuan very much, and thinks he is sincere, cheerful and optimistic, but she only likes him as a friend; but today, she really likes this Second Young Master Pei who looks like a fool and is just a playboy With admiration.

Although this person is "skinless and faceless", he is unruffled in times of danger, and he is not surprised by changes, and he does have his skills!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi chuckled.

But at this moment, a soft sigh sounded from behind her, which seemed to echo her laughter.

Turning her head to look, it was Su Qinglan who had been standing quietly behind her all the time. At this moment, she looked at Pei Xingyuan from a distance, with a strange expression on her face.

Shang Ruyi looked at her, then at Pei Xingyuan, and subconsciously said, "Master Su, do you know him?"

Su Qinglan still looked at Pei Xingyuan from a distance, her eyes seemed a little hazy, and said softly: "I met him when I was young."

"Oh? Then you—"

"I didn't expect that after so many years of not seeing him, he has already——, I thought he was still the same as when he was a child..."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

She faintly felt something, but she couldn't distinguish it clearly, and Su Qinglan had already chuckled, and the light shining in those gentle eyes dimmed at this moment.

She seemed to let go of something, turned her head without saying a word, and walked back.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said, "Master Su?"

Su Qinglan stopped, only looked back at her, and said: "Young Madam, there are still patients over there who need my care, and they——can't afford the money."

After speaking, he left silently.

Looking at her thin back going away, Shang Ruyi was a little dazed for a moment.

At this moment, a hand lightly patted her on the shoulder, Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned her head, and met a pair of smiling, crescent-like eyes, who just confronted those patients just now, but now they are Pei Xingyuan, who looked like he was fooling around, said with a smile: "What are you looking at, do you remember what I looked like just now, I must go back and tell Brother Ling, but I am--ah?"

He accidentally saw the figure in front of him, and was taken aback.

Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Master Pei, do you recognize her?"

Pei Xingyuan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "She seems to be Su, Su—"

"Su Qinglan!"

"Yes! Su Qinglan, her mother is a medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office, a female medical officer, it's amazing!"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "He is now a doctor of the Imperial Medical Office, and he is still taking care of the most seriously ill patients here."

Pei Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "No, when she was bullied, she would only cry with a runny nose. I thought that when she grew up, she could only marry, and when she got married, she would be angry. I didn't expect to have such a future. "

"..."

Shang Ruyi felt angry and funny for a while.

It's no wonder that Lei Yu had always had a bad look at him in the past, and he would strike before he could say a few words. Sometimes Pei Xingyuan's words are really annoying.

but--

She thought for a while and said, "Since you know each other, why don't you go over and talk to her?"

For some reason, thinking of Su Qinglan's appearance just now, Shang Ruyi couldn't let it go, and always felt that the two of them should meet, but Pei Xingyuan waved his hand indifferently and said: "I won't go there, I don't know her well. , besides, there are still many things going on here, if someone makes trouble again, no one can suppress them."

"...Oh, that's right."

Shang Ruyi nodded, but felt a little empty in her heart.

I don't know if it's her illusion, she seems to feel that something just started silently, but ended silently, but the people in it—whether it's Su Qinglan who left silently, or the proud The cheerful Pei Xingyuan didn't seem to notice.

At this time, Pei Xingyuan raised his head to look around again, and said, "By the way, where was that person just now?"

He obviously also felt that something was wrong with that middle-aged man. He deliberately stirred up everyone's emotions and then disappeared suddenly. If he was really just an ordinary patient, even after the quarrel, he would still have to stay in the workshop, with those in front of him. People are obediently queuing up to buy medicine.

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "I'll let—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wo Xue walking back with a tense expression, bowing to Shang Ruyi and Pei Xingyuan: "Young Madam, Mr. Pei."

Shang Ruyi didn't expect her to come back so soon, and immediately asked, "Where's the person?"

Wo Xue said: "Forgive me, Young Madam, I lost you."

"what?!"

Shang Ruyi frowned: "You lost all?"

You must know that Wo Xue is not an ordinary maidservant, but came out of Chu Yang's hands. Her skills are extraordinary, and ordinary people should not be able to get rid of her.

That middle-aged man has an unusual background.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Then, is he still in Changle Square?"

Wo Xue's expression became a little more dignified, and she lowered her voice and said, "No, this servant followed that man out of Changle Fang, and followed him all the way to Yanzuo Fang."

"..."

"Originally, the servant wanted to follow him to see what his background was, but—something happened in Yanzuofang, and the servant lost his attention as soon as he didn't pay attention."

What happened to Yanzuofang?
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi and Pei Xingyuan didn't care about that person's whereabouts, and immediately asked, "What happened?"

Wo Xue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Someone is applying medicine in Yanzuofang."
