A good night's sleep may ease the bitterness in her heart, because there are sweet things in dreams. For example, the frosted dates in late autumn, such as the scorching spring light of peach blossoms.

The person standing under the peach blossom is more gorgeous than a tree full of flowers.

This year, spring in Beijing came early, and the two big willow trees in front of the Rui'an Tang pharmacy smoked yellow stripes, and a gust of wind blew, and the branches fluttered, which was very smelly of willows.

After weighing the medicinal herbs for the last guest, Zhang Guihe, took advantage of the lack of people at noon, and went into the back hall to drink saliva and rest for a while. Feng Wenqi, who was also on the counter, took a sip of tea, and when he saw him come in, he gossiped, "I got up early this morning and heard the magpie calling, and sure enough, business was good in the morning." At this momentum, the prestige of our store is probably coming back. ”

"That's our good stuff, say a thousand to ten thousand, and only after taking a real steward can we call a good medicine." Zhang Guihe blew the hot tea slowly, "It's also our master who has a good way to operate, don't make those small profits and quick turnover, do things seriously, and choose the best medicinal materials." At this time, word of mouth will naturally come back. Our store is so prosperous now, and the old shopkeeper can feel more comfortable when he sees it. Yo, it's been a long time, why haven't you seen him old man? ”

Feng Wenqi pouted behind the curtain of the door, "Old shopkeeper, come out, sit here and chat for a while, what are you afraid of!" If you want to ask about the business in front of you, you can boldly ask, the matter on this counter, our master is still handed over to you to take care of, you don't want to wait for us Zhang Luo? ”

The person behind the curtain hesitated, but he still walked out after a while, his face was a little unbearable, "I am naturally happy to hear that the business is good, but I am afraid that it will affect the business that has only become better." You don't know, this morning I went out of the back hall, stood on the counter, and called a few old customers to see me, and pointed at me from afar. I don't want to mention it, but the steward of the second master's house said something for me: Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, it turns out that the third master is tolerant and elegant, which gave me a chance. ”

"That's right, it's not enough to kill people. You were careless for a while, and you put the most important thing in the pills, and you fell into the notoriety of a profiteer. If it weren't for our lord seeing that you really couldn't get over this hurdle and selling this store, your life's hard work would have been in vain. So, the people you should be most grateful for are not those old customers. People don't come to patronize you now, the serious third master is your great benefactor! To put it mildly, if you put it on others, where can you still be left in the store, at this time, you will be far away from your old age. ”

was so counted down by his former apprentices, but Shopkeeper Wu was not angry, because what people said was the truth, which made him irrefutable.

Originally, Rui On Tang was a thriving business and was famous throughout the street. It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the mother-in-law in her own house actually started the idea of the cost of medicinal materials because she wanted to replace a five-entry house. She didn't understand anything, she just stared at the most expensive pill, discussed with the little apprentice behind his back, and secretly went to the medicine. As everyone knows, it is not only the most expensive, but also the most top-notch. As a result, the price is the same as before, but the utility is not at all. Someone with a heart felt that something was wrong, so he took the pill to test the ingredients, and asked people to check it when they arrived. The pill fell on his face, and the matter shook off the streets, and his reputation was completely finished. Since then, no one has come to buy his things.

He hated it so much that he couldn't help it, how many years of husband and wife, he almost got out and separated, and he couldn't bear it in the end, so he could only drive out the guy with a bad heart. The business still has nothing to do, and the unsalable medicinal materials in the warehouse are piled up. He really tasted what it means to be at a loss and desperate! I even have the mind to hang on to the southeast branch.

Fortunately, I ran into Gu Sanye and heard about him, but after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to take care of the store first. After that, it took half a month to visit the homes of those who bought counterfeit medicines, apologize for the losses, and then send the newly made pills without receiving a penny.

Then he asked him to sit in the hall in person and give free clinics to people who can't afford to buy medicine on weekdays, which slowly gathered popularity. Everyone on the street knew that Rui'an Hall had changed hands, the new owner was benevolent and righteous, and the reputation in the market gradually improved.

originally thought that Gu Sanye would take over the store, and he should roll up and leave. didn't think about it, the third master didn't mean to catch him, said that his medical skills and pharmacology are good, it's a pity not to do this business, and comfort him Who hasn't gone narrow? As long as he knows his mistakes, he will be a serious person from now on, and he will not engage in those crooked ways, and Rui'an Hall will still have a place for him.

What else could he say besides gratitude? Gu Sanye not only saved his life, but also saved his life's work, and rebuilt with grace! Even if he wants to repay him with the rest of his life, he still can't repay it.

So it doesn't matter if he is answered by the apprentice, the wind and waves have come, and what he should be most worried about now is how to repay the favor and use all the things he has learned in his life to develop medicines. A few days ago, the third master still showed his mouth, thinking that if the business would be better in a few days, maybe he could set up another store elsewhere. Although there are many pharmacies in the capital, they are one in the east and one in the west, and each one is different in what they are good at. If you can learn from each other's strengths, be inclusive, and create a name seriously, it may also be a good thing for the country and the people and spread for centuries.

This was something he couldn't have imagined before, and his eyes had always been only staring at his own one-third of an acre. Either it is said that learned people are different, but it's a pity that the third master is such a complete person, and he has a reputation on his body, but he has been tarnished by others. His career was frustrated, and the major marriage events have not been settled so far, so he had to embark on the road of a businessman. Shinong industry and commerce, the word business is the last. In the final analysis, I still wronged the third master.

was thinking wildly, when the curtain of the door was lifted, it was Qian Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi who came. With a loud voice, it can make people's drowsiness disappear, "Hey, it's all here, there's a queue in front of you again, and you're too busy to see the cabinet, how many of you are still resting here?" ”

He is more open-minded than anyone else in the shop. Shopkeeper Wu knew that he was aiming for his friendship with Gu Sanye. Sure enough, the next sentence asked, "What about my brother Gu, didn't you come to the store today?" ”

Zhang Gui gestured with Chao Li, "Master Qian, you take it easy, the third master is reading the medical book inside, your voice has to shock people out." There is not much of a place in the Communist Party, you can't talk quietly, your brain is buzzing when you listen to it too much. ”

Seeing that Qian Zhipu's big hand was about to reach the back of his head, Zhang Guihe hurriedly ran away, "I'll go ahead to help, you guys hurry up, don't make the guests impatient." ”

Qian Zhi smiled brightly, "Let's go quickly, I'll sit for a while, wait for my third brother to come out, and bring him today's things." ”

I sat down, and when I looked back, I saw Gu Chengda walking out of the room. His steps were light, and he couldn't hear any movement when he was idle. is still a homely stone green robe, half new but not old, but when worn on the body, it reveals a delicate elegance. With a smile on his face, people look at it, and they only feel more comfortable than the spring breeze outside. Obviously I have been trading for several months, but I still don't have any philistine spirit, but I am more calm and open-minded than before.

"Brother Qian is free today?" He smiled and picked up the tea hanger on the stove, "I just prepared the Tieguanyin for the autumn of the year, you can taste it, if you want to feel the right appetite, take some home, you can moisten your throat when you are usually idle." ”

Qian Zhi thanked him loudly, watching him order water and make tea freely, and he raised his hands calmly and brightly, like a hermit who is not stained with dust. This person just has a quality, he doesn't seem to look at many expensive things, but he doesn't make people think that he is showing off.

After drinking tea, Qian Zhi smiled even more, "Good taste, infinite sweetness, even my rough tongue can taste it." As he spoke, he took out a stack of old papers from his arms, "This is the Di newspaper of the past few days, it's all here, read it slowly." ”

Gu Cheng put down the cup and flipped it one by one, "It's not good, it's always troublesome for you to send it in person, and I'll let people go to Beizhen Fusi to get it in the future." ”

"No trouble, no trouble." Qian Zhi waved his hand, "I fell in love with you here, anyway, it's okay to be idle, so I can't take this trip with me, maybe there will be good tea to drink." ”

He smiled heartily as he observed what Gu Cheng was looking at. Half a day passed, and I saw that his eyes always stayed on the content of the war in the northwest, "You are quite concerned about the suppression of bandits in front, and if you want me to say, if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own politics." You don't even want to be an official, and you don't care if the court wins or loses. It's good to win, but if you lose, it's nothing for us, anyway, those mud legs haven't been ten or eight years, and they can't beat the capital. ”

Gu Cheng didn't pay much attention to his words, looked at it for a while, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Wang Jiezhan, the governor of the five provinces, died of illness?" Didn't you just win a few battles, and you were full of spirits, why did you suddenly die? ”

Qian Zhi glanced at the text on the newspaper and said idly, "No, I just got promoted, and I was invited by Lord Yama on the back foot, and I was also unauthorized." ”

"Is it really a death from illness?" Gu Cheng was suspicious in his heart, and his face was silent, as if he was asking casually, "I am not very old, and my body has always been tough, so it is too sudden." ”

Qian Zhi smiled, "Do you suspect that there is a cat in it?" Maybe it's for you to guess......" lowered his voice and said slowly, "The head died at night, quietly without life, and the person lay on the case, with a mouthful of old blood in front of him." The military doctor is a Mongolian doctor, and he can't say why. When I asked the people who followed me, I said that I had never had heart palpitations. This is also strange, the next day, a man's corpse was found more than ten miles away, which was not long after Wang Jiezhan was admitted to the camp, and it is said that he is a man in the rivers and lakes. It's all passed on in private, but it's their nest that they can't keep it even, and no one can tell what the origin of this Jianghu person is, and maybe someone sent it by someone Chang...... Maybe it's those anti-thieves at all. ”

"Young man?" Gu Cheng's voice fluttered, "Are you sure, man?" Since it is a court establishment, there should always be a name and surname? ”

Qian Zhi thought about it carefully and muttered, "It seems to be the surname He, I can't remember what the specific name is." It's a man, it's right, it's clear that he has passed, and besides, women are not accepted in this barracks. ”

It's a man! Gu Chengchang breathed a sigh of relief, but the surname He made him suspicious again. Could it be that there is something strange? But that man was a greedy for pleasure, and he would definitely not go to the rebels, but why did he die?

He shook his head, maybe he was thinking too much, there is more than one person in the world surnamed He. Anyway, it's good that the person who happened to the accident wasn't her.

"You're also a fool, you're all people who can't beat you." Qian Zhi saw that he was distracted and stabbed him, "Serious care about yourself, your filial piety is over, it's time to think about marriage!" Don't say you haven't thought about it, forget about the things in front of you, you can't hang yourself from a tree. You tell your brother the truth, are you still thinking about the girl of the Shen family in your heart? ”

Gu Cheng was a little stunned when he asked. Seeing his aura, Qian Zhi understood most of it, patted his thigh, and persuaded, "Brother, you are really infatuated!" Everyone has been picked up by the old family, and if they don't come back, are you still prepared to wait for a lifetime? If someone wants to have that meaning at home, they will let go when they take it, which can be seen to find a high branch for her. Hey, brother doesn't mean you're not good enough, but after all, someone used to be the only daughter of a first-class master, and a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. She was born like that again, and her relatives are not sure which Buddha to climb her. ”

sighed, took his hand, and said bitterly, "Listen to my brother's advice, don't think about it." Now that you have a career, you have a great future in sight, and you don't have to worry about what kind of girl you want to find. Let's take a good look at the pick, and Guan Bao can pick out a gentle and virtuous person who is as beautiful as a flower. ”

Gu Chengzao came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and perfunctorily, "Wait a little longer, things in the shop are on the right track, and I still want to expand the store this year." Men, it's more secure to start a business and start a family, you have the bottom in your heart, and others feel reliable. ”

"What's that? If you start a family and start a business, then starting a family is in front of starting a business. Qian Zhi didn't have a problem with his salty and non-indifferent style, thought about it, smiled from a different angle and asked, "What is the surname of the old lady in your family?" Yes, best wishes Mom! Didn't you come up to worship your wife a while ago, what's the matter, when the old mother saw your lonely appearance, she didn't break her mouth? ”

I really asked this, not long after the beginning of spring, I wish my mother to send my nephew to the city, saying that it has been three years, and I should come to worship my wife in person. He packed up the house and specially welcomed his old mother to come up and live for a while.

As soon as they met, Zhu Mom held his hand and looked left and right, as if she wanted to carve him into her eyes. That concern is real, with the affection accumulated over the years.

He is also grateful, taking care of his old mother as if he were taking care of his own elders. But the old mother was not dazzled or deaf, and she saw that something was wrong at once, and only asked him, "What about the girl Huan, why don't you see her?" ”

How can he answer? When I heard this name, my heart ached, and I forced a smile on my face and said the words I had made up, "I thought she had no one at home, who knew that there was an aunt." I've been looking for her all these years, and when I heard that she was here, I was busy going to Beijing and picking people up. Since I am a close relative, of course, I can't stop them from reuniting. ”

"Where is this? said that he was entrusted to the third master without relatives and no reason, and he had been raised for so many years with good food and drink, and when he was about to leave the cabinet, he took it without saying a word? ”

The old mother was angry, and said with a pause, "The third master is good, and this person has taken advantage of it." After speaking, he hated even more, "Originally, my wife thought she was good and wanted to leave it to you." Even so, she is a white-eyed wolf, and we don't have to wait for her. How many good girls are in Beijing, I don't believe that I can't pick out a better one than her. ”

Gu Cheng just smiled, some things don't need to be said to everyone, and some things are not enough for outsiders. Only he knew in his heart that he would always be in the same place, waiting for her. No matter when she comes back, whether she is willing to forgive herself or not.

So at the moment, Qian Zhi is still in a hurry. Gu Chengyun was light-hearted, as if he didn't care about this matter at all, and when he saw that he was dry-mouthed, he pushed the teacup in front of him, and said with a smile, "Brother, thank you for your heart, but a thousand miles of marriage are involved, I'm afraid I can't rush it, maybe my marriage is still far away at this time." ”

It's so calm! Gu Cheng had his own indifference when he spoke. Qian Zhi could only smile helplessly, maybe there was really his marriage thousands of miles away, but it was unknown.

No one knows about the things that are thousands of miles away, but the situation is the first to happen when it is a hundred miles away. Tongsheng, a guy who went to Qi County to buy medicinal materials in the evening, came back with a bad news: Han Ji Crude Medicine, which had cooperated with Rui'an Tang for eight years, suddenly stopped agreeing to supply to the store. The reason is that Boss Han knew what happened to Shopkeeper Wu earlier, and he looked down on him very much. Now that I heard that the shopkeeper Wu was still in Rui'an Hall, I speculated that the current boss Bacheng was also unscheming. Doing business with such a person is in his heart. So he said it, no matter how much the other party wanted, and how high the price was, from now on, he Han would not accept Rui'antang's business.

Han Ji crude medicine almost undertook half of the raw material supply of Ruian Tang, and when other crude drugs in Qi County heard about this, they sat on the ground and took advantage of the fire to rob it. The guy Tongsheng had no idea, so he had to rush back first and ask the third master to show him.

Gu Cheng looked at Shopkeeper Wu in pain, regretting his original appearance, and did not hesitate much, "In this case, I will go to Qi County and meet this Boss Han." ”

"Third master, you ......" Shopkeeper Wu blushed and hesitated, "It's me who has burdened you, or I'll go!" Save yourself the trouble in the future. ”

Gu Cheng grabbed him and smiled, "If I want you to go, I don't have to wait until today." Rushing people away when something happens is not my style of doing things. You take a good look at the shop, Qi County is not far away, I'll go back as soon as I go. In any case, we still have to do business in the future, and we can't move forward without solving the trouble. ”

Shopkeeper Wu nodded heavily, "Then you should be careful, that person from Lao Han has a strong temper and is not easy to speak...... I'm afraid you're going to be wronged. ”

"It doesn't matter." Gu Cheng comforted him, "As long as you are willing to be reasonable, you are not afraid of not listening to what you say." He is a senior, I know the measure, and I will naturally respect him. ”

Gu Chengjiao rushed to rest with Tongsheng for a long time, and only took Zhang Guihe, who had never been to Qi County to buy goods, and the two of them took advantage of the fact that the city gate was not closed, and got in the car and went out of the city overnight.

The next morning, when I arrived at the place, I found an inn to stay in. After washing up and having breakfast, Zhang Guihe asked when he was going to visit Boss Han. Gu Cheng said that he was not in a hurry, he only rested in the inn, and heard the voices of people downstairs, so he went downstairs unhurriedly.

What puzzled Zhang Guihe was that Gu Sanye not only did not mean to see Boss Han, but also spent the whole day chatting with the south and the north, as well as the innkeeper's friends, and had a great chatting posture.

Could it be that he had other plans? Zhang Guihe slandered in his heart, maybe this scholar's brain is not quite the same as life like them. I couldn't figure it out left and right, so I just threw myself on the bed and fell asleep with my head covered.
