Chapter 167 Have You Thought About Leaving Chang'an?

In the past two days, Cui Pu was a little depressed again.

The prince of Wei couldn't figure it out. "I'm talking about one-legged brother, is it appropriate for you to show this kind of virtue in front of me now? Now you are the object of many people in Chang'an City vying to curry favor with you. Your Baicao Hall on Zhuque Street is really making money every day. Even the new medicines in the Xishi pharmacy were snatched up within an hour every day, you guys are going to get mad! A few days ago, when my father went to the palace, the saint actually asked about him What happened to Mu's Baicao Hall shows how powerful your Baicao Hall is now. My father even used you as an example to teach me, I'm so jealous of you!"

Hearing what he said, Cui Pu couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "You only saw the brilliance on my surface, but how many people can understand the dark tide underneath?"

Hearing this, Prince Wei's son was stunned for a moment.

"That's right." He nodded and said, "The momentum of your Baicao Hall's development is too fast. In just a few months, it has already overwhelmed many time-honored pharmacies in Chang'an City. Such momentum is certainly gratifying, but it is invisible. You must have offended a lot of people during this time. Although you have the Cui family behind you now, there are always bold and reckless people in this world. If you take advantage of your unpreparedness, they will rape you. You must watch carefully these days."

"I understand what you said, that's why I'm worried. I didn't expect that things would develop to this point. I just thought... I thought this was a shop that could earn me a little money to spend, but I never thought Now this one comes out one after another, pushing the shop to the cusp of the storm. Things are developing too fast, completely beyond my expectations, and I am still in a daze!" Cui Pu covered his head and yelled.

He just wanted to be a playboy in peace, but why did things turn out like this?

But in the backyard, Mu Jiaojiao was talking with the concubine in a calm manner with a smile on his face.

Ever since seeing Mu Jiaojiao, Shi Zifei has held her hand and never let go. "Since I caught you today, I don't care about it. You have to give me some Angong Niuhuang pills in your shop! Don't say that my aunts and uncles are urging me and the prince to go to court. You want to take a few pills and keep them at home for emergencies. Even many relatives and friends from my natal family began to want to go my way. Although I mostly declined, there are always people who can’t refuse, right? What’s more... ...I also want to keep a few pills by my side, so I can feel at ease."

"Okay!" Mu Jiaojiao readily agreed, and then asked Hongdou to present the gift she brought.

"Here are ten brocade boxes, and each box contains four pills of Angong Niuhuang pills. Although there are not many contents in one box, it is the best to take out as a gift. There are a total of forty pills, should it be enough?"

"Enough is enough!" Shi Zifei was dumbfounded.Originally, she only planned to get ten pills from Mu Jiaojiao's hands, which would be good, but she never thought that she would get forty pills, which was several times more than her initial plan, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?
Hastily asked someone to move all the ten brocade boxes down, and she couldn't help but smiled at Mu Jiaojiao: "Now people say that this pill is in short supply, and the share for the next year or two has already been taken away by others." Have you ordered them all? Now that I have so many more at once, I'm afraid they will be taken as counterfeit ones bought from outside!"

In this new Tang Dynasty, there are still many characteristics of the Celestial Dynasty.This feature is - cottage.

Since Angong Niuhuang Pill became popular, various Niuhuang Pills have sprung up in other pharmacies, and some people shamelessly claimed that the effect of this pill is comparable to that of Mu's Baicaotang's Angong Niuhuang Pill. Ridiculously mocking.

However, the Angong Niuhuang Wan in Mu's Baicao Hall is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.Those newly released Niuhuang Pills are much cheaper. Although the efficacy of the medicine is far less than that of Angong Niuhuang Pills, it is enough for daily treatment.After all, how many people in this world will always have a high fever?So these so-called bezoars have a good export market.

The concubine Shi Zi said this, just to make fun of it.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled when she heard it. "Ten pills a month, that's the amount sold in the shop. But the ones for your own people are made extra, so they don't count. How can the concubine not understand this truth?"

"Of course I understand. It's just that you gave me so much in one go. It's too generous! If all these medicines are exchanged for money, it will be a lot!" The princess said cheerfully.

"It's just a few hundred guns, can it be in your eyes?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.As she spoke, she immediately ordered with a straight face, "But Shi Zifei, you must remember that no matter who you give this medicine to, you must tell them again and again that adults can only take one pill a day at most, children Half a pill is the most, and the dosage for children under the age of six has to be halved. The human body is actually very fragile, and it can only absorb so much in a day. If you want to quickly get rid of the disease and take too much in one go, then this medicine will not only It can't cure the disease, but it can cause poisoning. I haven't found a solution to the disease of Angong Niuhuang Pill poisoning until now."

"There are diseases in this world that you can't cure?" Shi Zifei was surprised when she heard this.

From the beginning to now, Mu Jiaojiao's performance has always refreshed their perception of her.Until now, she almost thought that Mu Jiaojiao was omnipotent.As a result, at this time, she took the initiative to say such a thing, how could the concubine Shizi believe it?
Mu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly: "There are many mysteries in the human body, and there are thousands of medicinal herbs in this world. There are still countless medicinal herbs in the mountains that have not been fully discovered. Now I can only say that I know better than I am now. Many doctors are just a little bit more, omnipotence is impossible. I am also a human being, so naturally there will be things I don’t know.”

The concubine Shi Zi repeatedly nodded her yes, and carefully remembered her instructions in her heart. "Don't worry, I will tell them what you said. If someone really takes too much medicine and has an accident in the future, it has absolutely nothing to do with you."

"Of course I believe in the concubine Shizi, and this explanation is just in case." Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly restored her smiling face.

After having lunch at Wei Wang's residence, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu headed back home.

On the carriage home, Cui Pu was still deep in thought.Mu Jiaojiao was also in deep thought.

"correct!"

Suddenly, Cui Pu shouted loudly, making Mu Jiaojiao tremble in fright.

"What's on your mind again?" she asked in a low voice.

Cui Pu looked at her quickly: "I have an idea, can you listen to it and see if it fits?"

"Tell me." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"You see, our Baicao Hall is developing too fast now, and it must have become a thorn in the side of many people. It's just that this momentum is caused by the people's will, and we can't avoid it. So I thought, since I have made enough money now, Why don't we set a date and give free medicines to the people in Chang'an City on which day of the month. One is to win the hearts of the people, and the other is to distribute some money, so as not to make others see that we are too jealous of making money. What do you think? What's the idea?"

"Anyway, we don't open a pharmacy for the purpose of profit. If you want to donate medicine, then donate it! However, we still have to discuss this matter with Auntie and Uncle Huang. They all nodded, and we will start again Implement it." Mu Jiaojiao nodded after only thinking for a while.

Cui Pu laughed. "Don't worry! This is a good thing to accumulate virtue, and neither Aniang nor Huang's uncle will object."

Having been in contact with Huang Peiyuan a lot, he deeply felt that this is a person who associates, and the relationship with him has become more and more harmonious these days, and unconsciously followed Mu Jiaojiao to evoke his Uncle Huang's family.Huang Peiyuan was almost scared to death at first, but later he got used to listening to it and let it go.

Looking into her shining eyes, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about leaving Chang'an and working hard elsewhere?"

Cui Pu was taken aback. "Leaving Chang'an?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Cui Pu thought about it seriously. "Of course I thought about it. At the beginning, my favorite was Cao Zijian's "White Horse Chapter". When I was about ten years old, I dreamed of being a ranger who wandered around with a sword and took care of the world's injustice. But later I realized Well, not everyone can be a ranger. At least I don’t have the ability. But although I know it in my heart, this dream has always been hidden in my heart.”

"So if this opportunity were really given to you, would you choose to seize it?"

Cui Pu frowned slightly. "Catch it?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "It is to leave everything behind and seize this opportunity to realize your dream. Do you dare?"

Cui Pu stroked his chin and thought about it again and again, the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache. "This is really a big problem. But who in this world doesn't have a knight-errant dream? If possible, I think everyone would want to try it. But now, I am no longer the idiot who loved to daydream. Boy, now I live a good life here. I have money and leisure. I am really more and more comfortable every day. Now let me leave all this and go to the miserable life of a ranger. I am really reluctant. But ranger... ...Hey, it's so hard to choose!"

After talking to himself for a long time, he suddenly raised his head: "Why do you suddenly want to ask me this question?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered it suddenly. I was talking about this with Concubine Shizi just now, so I just asked you." Mu Jiaojiao responded indifferently.

"So that's the case? Let me just say, why do you pay attention to this issue." Cui Pu smiled and said, "Although this dream is beautiful, I am afraid that it will only be a sweet dream lying in my heart in this life. Since it is Dream, why think too much? I'll just let nature take its course, anyway, I think my life is pretty good now."

"Indeed, just let nature take its course." Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and a look of helplessness flashed in his downcast eyes.
