Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Needless to say polite words, Ji Wuyan finished his explanation and went out.

She did not take a carriage, but took a fast horse from the stables. It was snow-white without a single variegation, and it galloped between the windy and rainy world, like a bright lightning flashing across the streets and alleys of Yanjing City. Pass.

Muzi Medicinal Materials Shop is located in Dongshi, a small and inconspicuous shop at the end of the street, with a wooden sign hanging on it. The word "Muzi" looks crooked on the sign, which looks like it was carved out with a knife.Usually there is only one gray-haired old man who looks after the shop. It is said that he worked as a barefoot doctor in the early years. This shop is grabbing medicine.

There is also a boy, who is not very old, he looks like he is in his teens, he is very clever, but he is a bit playful and sloppy.

The old and the young live and eat in the pharmacy. The grandparents and grandchildren seem to depend on each other. Sometimes the neighbors can't see it, and they will prepare meals for them to eat together. The grandparents and grandchildren are grateful, but everyone One of the guys went to grab medicine with a headache, and if he could not charge the money, he would not charge it. If it was really hard not to charge it, he would charge less.

Ji Wuyan found out all these when she was resting on the sidelines. The person who spoke was a simple and honest lady. While wiping her hands on her apron, she smiled and greeted Ji Wuyan to sit under the eaves of her shop, and continued to exchange greetings, "This The weather... I'm afraid it will rain all day again. This year's weather is a ghost, and it's not like this in previous years... Miss, is the family sick?" After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the white horse under the tree at the door, The color suddenly brightened, what a handsome horse...

Ji Wuyan let her look at her, and nodded while drinking tea, "Well, it was raining yesterday, and it was a bit cold, but it's not in a hurry. When I came over, I saw that the pharmacy didn't seem to be open, so I thought about it." Come here to drink some tea and have a rest, just wait and see... It's raining really hard, does Madam know where there are other medicine shops nearby?"

After sizing up the snow-white horse, the aunt turned around and came back to look at Ji Wuyan. It is rare to see a girl riding a horse. Hearing her question now, she "understood" her heart and asked with a smile, "Are you a foreigner?" ? You’ve only been in town for two days, right?”

The girl on the opposite side scratched her head in embarrassment, "So obvious?"

"It's not very obvious. I just asked you because you are unfamiliar with the neighborhood." The aunt was very enthusiastic. When she heard that there was a cold in the other's house, she repeatedly lamented that the wind and rain were really annoying. , if you want to go to the middle of the market again, your horse can't get in, it will take a long time to get there, the girl will stay with me for a while, the shopkeeper has never slacked off, probably something delayed .”

Ji Wuyan nodded, propped his chin and looked in the direction of the medicine shop, the corners of his mouth were uncertain, and after a long while, he asked the aunt, "What's the name of the shopkeeper?"

"The surname is Li, we all call him Old Li Tou."

"Li..." Ji Wuyan took a teacup and sipped it. The tea was brewed weakly, and the astringency was obvious. Your name."

"No!" The old lady waved her hand boldly without doubting him, "Same surname has different fate! Do you want more tea? It's the first time for a girl to come, so adding tea today is not counted as your money, it's the right to make a friend... ...It's what the scholar said, Wangnianjiao!" After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly.

She's an interesting lady.

Ji Wuyan put down the teacup, shook his head with gentle eyes, "Thank you for your kindness, I will come back after a few days. But today it is not working... I will go to the pharmacy, if it is not open, it will be troublesome I have to go there, the family is waiting for the medicine." After speaking, he stood up, nodded slightly, and walked calmly into the heavy rain with an oiled paper umbrella.

The aunt stood under the eaves and watched, leaning on the door frame with her arms folded, she praised her for a long while, "This girl looks ordinary, and her temperament is really good."

……

Muzi Pharmacy was always open, but the door was covered by heavy curtains, and a small wooden sign with crooked writing was erected outside, indicating that the shopkeeper was only leaving for a while, and the slightly perfunctory handwriting was exactly the same as the writing on the door of the drugstore.Ji Wuyan stood at the door with an oiled paper umbrella for a long while, but she never came forward to knock on the door.

The heavy rain was torrential, and there was a splashing sound of rain between the sky and the earth, and many subtle movements were more easily covered up.For example, ambush.

Ji Wuyan turned his back slightly to the sky, stood with his eyes closed for a while, then took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and his fingertips barely touched the door curtain. Footsteps came from behind him, and then a voice started to speak, "Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought there were no guests in this weather, so I walked away for a while, guest, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ji Wuyan looked sideways, and the old man who came from behind was slightly hunched over, wearing a coir raincoat, with his neck tucked in, and looked shorter than Old Chen.He had a vegetable basket hanging on his wrist with a handful of vegetables in it. Seeing Ji Wuyan looking at his vegetable basket, he flipped through it casually and explained, "I went to buy some vegetables while it was raining... Is the person sick?"

Ji Wuyan followed behind him, and nodded when he heard the words, "Drenched in the rain and caught the wind and cold."

"That's right... In this weather, if it's not necessary, I wouldn't come to my medicine shop." The shopkeeper stepped forward and lifted the curtain, then stood inside and greeted with a smile, "Girl, come in. Don't stand still." It’s raining outside, and by then, your family will recover, and you’ll get gonorrhea again... Come in, come in. Have you brought the prescription, or do you want me to prescribe it for you?”

Ji Wuyan didn't go in. She put away her umbrella and put it outside the threshold. She stood under the eaves, shaking off the water droplets all over her body, and smiled, "It's okay, my hem is wet, and I will wet your place when I go in. Don't worry." Appropriate. Just buy some notopterygium, I went to several pharmacies before, and they all said they don't have it...do you have it at your house?" With a calm face, there was a bit of innocence and defenselessness that was not familiar with the world.

The shopkeeper, who was bending over to put down the vegetable basket, paused and looked over slowly.

The door was ajar, and the girl was still holding the curtain with one hand, with a little apology for the interruption in the corner of her eyes, and a gentle smile.

He naturally knew who this girl was, and the master's plan today was mainly for this girl.From the time she rode a horse into the entrance of Dongshi Street, he had been staring at the opposite teahouse, watching her drinking tea, watching her walk to the door and standing there for a long time, watching her ready to reach out and push the door. The girl looked extremely cautious.

Why at this moment... recklessly opened the skylight?
Are you confident, or... really don't understand?
