Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 98 Troubled
"My lord, we have registered this land with the government. You can't just take it back." The steward of Fang's drug store stood on the ground and argued with a group of officials. He was originally here to urge new seedlings to be planted quickly. When cultivating the soil with herbs, an official came to take over the land. The reason was that the Fang family did not have a land deed, which was illegal possession.

"Recording is one thing, and the land deed is another thing. You can take out the land deed and talk about it."

"Is there... is there a misunderstanding in the middle? Your lord has promised that the matter of the land deed will be postponed." The steward explained to the leading official in a low voice, "In this way, Xiaomin will go to the Yamen when he turns around, and he must take the land deed. return."

"You're talking about Song Weimin, right?" The leading officer rolled up his sleeves and said, seemingly unintentionally, "It's a pity that he has gone back to his hometown to farm. Our current adult's surname is Zheng. Brothers, take it!"

"Oh, military lord, please don't, these are just planted seedlings for the supply of the palace. Military lord, please, don't cut them down." A dozen officials rushed into the field , waving the knife in his hand left and right, and within a moment, a large area of ​​medicine seedlings had been destroyed.

Fang's pharmacy in the capital city opened early in the morning, and there was a line of beggars coming to see the doctor. Most of them were suffering from back pain, numbness in the legs, or headache and itchy feet.The doctor who attended the consultation prescribed a prescription, and then clamored that there was no place to make medicine and asked why he didn't just give pills directly. Didn't the Fang family specialize in selling pills?
"Go, go, you think I'm selling Dali pills in the streets and alleys. This is a pharmacy. The doctor prescribed the prescription and you just take the medicine according to the prescription. Why are there so many things!"

"Hey, Fang's drugstore dislikes us because Huazi doesn't give us a good treatment. This Huazi's life is too low to be worthy of Fang's medicine. Come and see, Fang's business is like this. There is no sympathy, no doctors to save lives and heal the wounded. Medical ethics, what kind of pharmacy does he open!"

People in the streets and alleys were attracted by the excitement of the pharmacy, and gathered around the door of the pharmacy to point and point.The shopkeeper's face was a little uncomfortable, and he was about to step forward to say a few words, when the guards patrolling the street came over.

Three or five people clasped their fists and said, "Shopkeeper, are these people making trouble unreasonably? Don't worry, your son has already taken care of him and asked us to take care of the pharmacy. No one on this street has dared to make trouble in front of Fang's shop. Brother Ladies, bring people to the Yamen to tidy up."

"Yes!" Several yamen servants rushed up to catch Huazi who was still rolling on the ground, and they left under escort.

"Hey, it's great to be in charge of the family. A small pharmacy can get along well with the government, and can arrest people without seeing a doctor. You can bully and dominate the market with one hand!" Someone in the crowd said this, and the crowd of onlookers People echoed one after another.

"That is, who would dare to come here to buy medicine in the future."

The crowd dispersed pointing and pointing, the shopkeeper stood at the door with his hands spread out in a daze, did the shopkeeper really bribe the street patrol office?But what this small business wants is to make money from harmony, and the business of Fang's drugstore is considered a mess.

In Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, a matchmaker sat cross-legged on a chair in the West Flower Hall, took a sip of tea, sipped her lips, and said to a fat lady opposite: "Mr. Li, you should have heard of him. He is the number one Confucianist in this dynasty. There are peaches and plums all over the world. The young master of the Fang family is a student of Mr. Li, and he is also full of poems and books. To tell you the truth, Mr. Li said that this young master of the Fang family will definitely win the first prize."

"Then he is so outstanding, does he have a wife and concubine at home?"

"No, I don't even have a housemate. You say that the young master is so handsome and talented, why do you have any hesitation, and besides, I secretly took a portrait for you, what do you think?"

"It's a real talent."

"Then madam, what else do you have to hesitate?"

"I'm afraid that Yue'er will have an opinion. After all, this family is not a big family, and they only came to the capital a few years ago. I'm afraid that she will marry and suffer hardships."

The corner of the matchmaker's mouth twitched, thinking that she had been a matchmaker for eight lifetimes.

"Ma'am, we don't speak dark words. The list is released today, and the young lady is a mild-mannered person. You can go to the place where the list is posted. The Fang family lives not far away, next to Shifang Street in Fugui Lane..."

"I'll go!" A woman's voice sounded at the door, it didn't sound like a girl's gentleness and delicateness, the matchmaker looked at the door against the light, my mother!I just felt a lump of flesh walking towards her, and even the shadow on the ground was very solid and heavy.

"Yue'er, don't mess around!" Madam said dotingly.

"Mother, I saw that portrait. He is quite handsome. So I am going to see the real person. If he really wants to look like the portrait, I will marry him."

"Your father doesn't know yet?"

"My father left it to you." Qiao Yue turned around and shouted towards the door: "Prepare the car, I'm going to see my husband!"

Oops, the matchmaker covered her face with a handkerchief. After talking about this marriage, she couldn't stay in the capital anymore.

Outside the tribute courtyard, Fang Zhongan led the book boy to stand proudly outside the crowd, and stopped to accept the congratulations from the candidates of the same subject. The team who wanted to announce the good news had already arrived at Shifang Street, and was about to go to the tablets of the ancestors when they arrived in front of the mother.

He wants to make a big splash and glorify the Fang family!

"Hey, get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The crackling sound of the whip made the examinees who were still reading the papers avoid glaring for a while, but the carriage turned a corner and stopped in front of the papers.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage and ran to him for a look, then happily ran to the front of the car and shouted: "Miss, you've got a hit, the first champion is indeed Fang Zhong'an!"

Fang Zhong'an, who was called by name, was stunned for a moment before looking over, wondering whose family this belonged to?It might as well be that the curtain of the carriage was lifted just in time, the carriage shook and a fat girl stepped out of it.

"Who is Fang Zhongan?"

"Here, here, the young master is here." The book boy couldn't hold back his joy and announced his family name, Qiao Yue turned around and saw Fang Zhongan, wearing a crescent-white spring shirt, he was called a son like jade.

Qiao Yue was overjoyed at his glance, she clutched her chest shyly and hurried back into the carriage, "Laifu, hurry, go home!"

The coachman responded and jumped into the carriage and hurried back to Qiao's Mansion in Fugui Lane. The number one scholar in the new department is my aunt!The champion of the new division is my son-in-law!
It took only an hour to go back and forth, and when Qiao Yue ran to the West Flower Hall with a happy face, the matchmaker knew that the matter had become eighty percent.

"I'm right, isn't the new No. [-] scholar still handsome?"

"Mother, my daughter has agreed to this marriage."

"It's really a champion." Mrs. Qiao is naturally satisfied but she is still not confused. "The new champion usually has to go to court to accept the award from the emperor. What if the emperor also takes a fancy to it and wants to give it a marriage?"

"Mother, don't you still have a father? He is a high-ranking official. As long as he opens his mouth, the emperor will definitely agree. When the time comes, if father asks the emperor for a marriage, this marriage will be settled and no one can change it. Mother..."

"Miss is so satisfied. When I go down, the old lady will go to Fang's house to get the birth date of the young master of Fang's family. When the two families reunite, choose an auspicious day, and catch up with the number one scholar and become an official. It will be double happiness!"
