Chapter 8 8. Fee Money
The 300 green onion pancakes and 9 catties of stewed pork were quickly sold out.

Cheng Xi counted the income, and earned a tael after deducting the cost.

This income is enough to feed and clothe the common people, but now time is waiting for no one, it is still too little.

When the reputation of stewed pork is known, you can try selling the recipe.

"Brother Wang, thirty catties of pork come today."

"Okay, I'll give you a penny less per catty. The little lady has already eaten what she bought yesterday?"

"Do some business."

Cheng Xi counted the copper coins and gave them to the meat stall owner, and took the pig's trotters and ears that had been ordered a long time ago.

To get home from the pier, she had to cross the main street of Lin'an Mansion, so she went to the grain shop and bought fifty catties of white flour, thirty catties of polished rice, and ten catties of soybeans. All the spaces on the cart were clearly arranged.

Thanks to the original owner's innate divine power, otherwise it would be a question of whether he could push it.

Turning into the alley where Shen's house was located, Cheng Xi saw a low-key but luxurious carriage parked at the door, with servants in gray clothes standing on both sides.

There are guests.

She guessed the identity of the other party in her heart, and then heard a clear conversation coming from the yard.

"Brother Shen, how do you feel these days, but have you seen a doctor?"

"Ahem. Please, please, Brother Zhou, I'm thinking about it. I'm fine."

There was a violent coughing sound.

Shen Xingqi was a little anxious, "Brother, it's cold outside, you just started to improve so you can't stay here."

"Look at me, I was negligent, Brother Shen, hurry into the house!"

Cheng Xi parked the car at the door, and when he pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was the cheap husband who was so weak that he was about to fall at any time. His clear face was full of exhaustion, and his eyes were blue.

"???"

When did her husband become so weak?

It's a bit bluffing to look like you won't survive two episodes.

"Brother Shen, this is"

Young Master Jin Fu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he saw Cheng Xi, and there was a slight smile on his handsome face, looking kind and tight.

Shen Xingluo coughed twice, out of breath.

"This is Zhuojing. Xi'er, this is Zhou Xuzhi's Young Master Zhou, and he is my husband's classmate in the academy."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Shen. Brother Shen didn't come to congratulate Brother Shen when he got married. It's really rude."

"Young Master Zhou, since you are my husband's classmate, it's fine if you like it."

Cheng Xi turned slightly to avoid the other party's gift, and looked at the other party calmly.

The brocade clothes and the vertical crown, whether it is the hairpin inlaid with rubies on the head or the carriage outside, are enough to illustrate the family background of this Mr. Zhou, and his facial features are handsome, especially the smile on his face, which adds a bit of charm.

The magistrate of Lin'an prefecture seems to have the surname Zhou.
"Cough-cough-"

Cheng Xi withdrew his gaze, and turned to meet Shen Xingluo's bottomless black eyes.

"Brother Shen, today I specially invited Dr. Wu from Renxintang, can I ask him to take your pulse?"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, and thank you, Doctor Wu."

The old man behind Young Master Jin Yi stepped forward with the medicine box in hand, put his right hand on Shen Xingluo's wrist, shook his head for a moment and sighed.

"Mr. Shen's pulse is weak, and I'm afraid he has hurt his abdomen."

"Brother Shen is Xie Yuan of our Lin'an Mansion, there must be nothing wrong with it, even if Doctor Wu prescribes medicine, he must heal the injury."

"Yes, yes, I will prescribe the prescription."

Doctor Wu tremblingly wrote a prescription, Shen Xingluo thanked him and handed it to his sister and started coughing again.

Cheng Xi supported him, "Husband, do you want to go back to your room to rest?"

"Mrs. Shen is right. Brother Shen should go back to his room. It's Mrs. Zhou's fault. He should visit again in a few days."

The other party didn't seem to intend to stay any longer, and after a few pleasantries, the luxurious carriage quickly disappeared into the alley.

Beside him, Shen Xingluo was holding the freshly baked prescription Liu Shen Wu Zhu with both hands.

"Brother, why is your condition getting worse? What should I do? I'll get you some medicine first?"

"Go."

Soon there were only two people left in the yard.

Cheng Xi withdrew his hand that was supporting him, holding a small ball in his palm.

"It is said that clamping the iron ball under the armpit can change the strength of the pulse, and even cause short-term pulse arrest. Is it true?"

"Young lady is smart, I didn't expect to do some research on medical books."

Shen Xingluo, who had been exposed, was not guilty, and looked out the door with sharp eyes that showed coldness.

"That Zhou Xuzhi wants to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?"

"Which student in the world doesn't want to be the number one scholar, why does the lady ask like that?"

"I remember that he was the sub-yuan of Lin'an Prefecture, who ruined you, and coupled with the influence of the Zhou family in the court, it is not difficult to pass the exam in one fell swoop."

As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, he noticed that the way the cheap husband looked at her changed.

"What, what am I saying is wrong?"

Shen Xingluo's dark eyes were dark, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.

After a while, he looked away.

"How did you know?"

"Guess, now it seems that my guess is right."

Cheng Xi seldom recalled the experience of the original owner since she traveled, but just now Shen Xingluo's pretending to be weak reminded her of something.

On the day when the list was released, he encountered robbers who attacked him cruelly, even ruining his appearance.However, the original owner ran all over the state capital and failed to find a doctor who was willing to go out. Even if it was raining heavily, Xie Yuan's reputation should not be so cheap.

Some people find cheap husbands distasteful and want to get rid of them quickly.

Who will this person be?
First, Shen Xingluo's reaction gave her inspiration, and second, Zhou Xuzhi's acting skills were not up to par.

The handsome young man's kind smile was enough to deceive the little girl, but he couldn't hide it from Cheng Xi's eyes.

Every day in the workplace, she has to face many business elites who are smiling on the surface and want to kill each other in their hearts. She has no vision to manage such a huge company.

"Since you know that he is uneasy and kind, you still want Xingqi to grab the medicine that is sure to have no effect, are you planning to drag him?"

"Now is not the time to fight back."

Shen Xingluo lowered his eyes, concealing the deep meaning in his eyes, "Madam, do you have other ideas?"

"It's not impossible."

Cheng Xi had a toothache, "That's right, Fei Qian."

Shen Xingluo: "."
