Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 23
As for the slanderous matter of Nanhe Bo's being seized of the title, they also found out that it was a frame-up in the political struggle.

He has used many such tricks himself.

Before he went home, apart from the boredom of being arranged, he had completely accepted the marriage intellectually.

The moment of amazement when he entered the door yesterday made the depression in his heart that was arranged was diluted a little.

Unexpectedly, the problem lies with Fang Yuanzhi.

Didn't she willingly take care of the patients here for almost a month just to marry into the Xu family?

He couldn't believe it.

He thought of the wounds on his back that occasionally ached.Such a little pepper who can injure himself, what is the purpose of doing this?

Is it a game of playing hard to get?

Xu Chun sneered in his heart: A little girl, playing 36 tricks with me, isn't she overthinking her abilities?

Thinking of this, he said to his mother: "Since this is the case, mother will help me to keep an eye out for a suitable wife, and take a good look at me while I am still at home. I will marry you a wife earlier."

Mrs. Gu looked Xu Chun up and down in disbelief, and asked, "Do you want to understand?"

Xu Chun said with a smile: "Before, it was the son who was unfilial and thought that the mother was capable and didn't need others. Now I don't think so..."

Mrs. Gu didn't dare to ask him whether he still wanted to leave the Xu family.

Thinking about getting married, with a wife and children attached to her, how could she just leave the Xu family if she wanted to leave?

Mrs. Gu's illness improved a lot immediately, and she was able to get out of bed and walk a few steps.She hurriedly ordered people to invite He Lao'an to come over, and also invited her natal sister-in-law to come over to talk.

The Xu Mansion was very busy with cars and horses coming and going.

Fang Yuanzhi stared at the maid Cheng Hong who was busy in the yard and sighed.

What a maidservant next to Mrs. Gu, who is comparable to the deputy lady, unexpectedly ran to her small dilapidated temple to do menial work.Make the bed and fold the quilt, wash clothes, even serve tea and water, and clean the courtyard, everything is rushing to do.

If Baihu hadn't glared at her viciously, she would have been able to do the dishwashing in the kitchen!

Let her go back, she knelt on the ground with snot and tears crying: "Please have mercy on me, girl. If I go out of this door, only the whole family will be sold! Our whole family is still in Xu's house, please girl!" Have pity on me..."

Fang Yuanzhi kicked her out cruelly, but Cheng Hong, a maid, knelt at the entrance of the medicine hall all night.Several batches of hooligans appeared in the night, and their innocence was almost lost.

If it wasn't for Fang Yuanzhi who couldn't bear it and asked Qingshan to go out to save her, she would have been dragged to some private prostitute by now.

As a result of the excessive kindness, this orange and red lived in the same house with her.Although Fang Yuanzhi sleeps on the bed and Cheng Hong lays the floor, but a maid who is not her own follows her every day, which is equivalent to spying on her, and it feels uncomfortable.

After a few days, Fang Yuanzhi finally figured out a way to ask Cheng Hong to serve in the medicine hall during the day and be responsible for dispensing medicine.

Originally, Qingshan was responsible for grasping the medicine, or Dr. Zhong Guangcai was in charge.Because there are almost no people in the medicine hall at present, and there is nothing to do, so Doctor Zhong simply asked Cheng Hong to read the prescription and how to take the medicine.

Fang Yuanzhi was drinking tea in the inner room and looking at the account book.

It's not a big deal for the medical hall to lose hundreds of taels of silver every month.

She can't sit still, she has to open up the situation quickly, and let Jimin Medicine Hall become a famous brand in Suzhou. Even if it can't make a profit, at least it has to break even, and it can't become a bottomless pit of vampires who keep throwing money.

During the few years in Qiantang, she also figured out a set of promotional tactics.

It is nothing more than launching a free consultation and half-price promotional activities for medicinal materials.

Secondly, go to military camps, government offices and other institutions to focus on promoting activities and accumulate a certain reputation.

In the end, with the help of hot events to build momentum, Jimin Medical Hall became an instant hit, and when the people in the city talked about the gossip, they spread the reputation of their own medical hall.

Fang Yuanzhi asked Qingshan to do a free consultation, and a banner with half-price medicinal materials was hung at the door. He also invited helpers to shout around: "Guanqian Street Jimin Medicine Hall, free consultation, half-price medicinal materials, welcome to inquire."

Guanqian Street is the busiest street in Suzhou, where people come and go.

But this only attracted a small number of customers, and also attracted troublemakers, who insisted on buying all the medicinal materials in the medicine hall at half price.

Fang Yuanzhi sneered: "It's okay to buy all of them. Half of the Chinese medicinal materials here are more than ten thousand catties. Mr. Hu has enough money to talk again!"

The ruffian who came to make trouble was a thin man in his thirties with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks and mouse whiskers. He called himself Mr. Hu. He was wearing an ill-fitting and wrinkled blue lake silk dress, a dark red soft-footed headband, and a pair of triangular eyes. He kept looking back and forth, and was a little taken aback when he heard this, but he still said without losing momentum: "It's easy to say! How many varieties of Chinese medicine do you have?"

"There are 5767 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine in our store, including 4773 kinds of herbal medicines, 740 kinds of animal medicines, and 82 kinds of mineral medicines. There are [-] kinds of processed products."

Seeing the dazed expression on the local ruffian's face, Fang Yuanzhi smiled lightly and said, "Generally speaking, if you don't have 10 taels of silver, you can't take away my goods. Brother, please bring your silver over to have a look, we will hand over the money , hand delivery."

The hooligans have also seen storms, so naturally they won't be fooled by her words: "Then I want to see, where do you store so many medicinal materials in your little medicine hall?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to rush into the backyard, and a few hooligans who followed him also protected him, and smashed the weighing scale in the front hall. They kicked over the solid counter, and some drawers containing medicinal materials were drawn out. When they came out and threw them around, the medicinal materials fell all over the floor, and the house was in a mess.

Qingshan has already gone to the Xu Mansion to call for Guanshi Liu.

Guanshi Liu squeezed in from the crowd of spectators outside the medicine hall, and interjected, "Who said that all medicinal materials have to be stored in the medical hall? The three major warehouses at the east end of the city are all stocked with our medicinal materials."

Liu Guanshi looked coldly at Mr. Hu, the local ruffian, and walked around him a few times: "You are not bad, you are the only one who lives with others and settles down. How dare you imitate others to come and make trouble? You don't want to go to Suzhou to inquire about it. Is there anyone who dares to show off his might and do his best in front of me, Liu Endong?!"

The latter words were shouted out, and the murderous intent hidden in the voice shocked Hu Bulai.

Ever since Guanshi Liu appeared, Hu Bulai has been languid, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "I don't know that this is your old property! I'm so sorry! The little one is also a slave to others." I'm really sorry for being blind!"

With snot and tears, while talking, he gathered up the medicinal materials on the ground with his sleeves, and tidied them in the drawer thrown aside.

Fang Yuanzhi who was standing by was disgusted enough.

Liu Guanshi caught a glimpse of it, and continued, "You are an unworthy person, and you still dare to call yourself the third master? Get lost! Tell the master behind you, if you don't come to apologize personally, this matter will never end!"
