In the blink of an eye, it is March of the third year of the Han Dynasty, it is the time when everything is recovering, the spring is blooming, but it is also the season when people are drowsy and spring sleepiness is overflowing, Zhou Fucai is sitting in his own pharmacy, his head resting on the back of the chair, and he is sleeping on himself.

Every day that passes in the Han Kingdom, it seems to be climbing to a new level, the economic form is getting better day by day, the caravans coming and going from the south to the north, the endless stream of pedestrians, every day the county seat of Lixian County is not very large, there are many people, this headache and brain fever, stomach pain and diarrhea are naturally more people, and the business of his pharmacy is also excellent.

Zhou Fucai not only runs a pharmacy, he is also a sitting doctor, one hand prescribes, the other hand sells medicine, naturally earns more, now no more than in previous years, a large influx of medicinal materials from the three counties of Liaodong, so that the price of medicinal materials has fallen a lot, but people have money in their hands, and they naturally value their own lives more seriously, and they come to the pharmacy to ask for medicine if they are slightly uncomfortable, which makes Zhou Fucai a year, and the income is much more than in previous years.

There was a powerful sound of medicine pestle in the back hall, and the half-sleeping Zhou Fucai showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, his son is already seventeen, he just engaged the marriage medicine with the rich gentleman Lu family in the county last year, and he can marry a new daughter-in-law next year.

Last year, I earned five hundred taels of silver, and this year's business looks better, how can I earn a thousand taels to be enough, the Lu family is a rich family, and the bride price given by myself must not be less, otherwise the bride will inevitably look down on her husband's family when she enters the door, and her son's waist pole will not be straightened. The Lu family has already said that when the two families get married, they will partner together to do the medicinal material business, the Lu family has a lot of old relationships, and he and his son have excellent professional knowledge, and they are good brothers!

"Boss Zhou, your relatives are here!" A loud voice came from the door, startling Zhou Fucai, who was immersed in a beautiful imagination of the future, as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that it was the second, this was Wang Er on the same street, there was an old lady in the family who had an old problem of coughing and gargling, and he had to grab a pair of medicines here every three or five days.

"Wang Er, can't you be quiet? Am I not deaf?" Zhou Fucai stood up lazily, turned around sleepily, opened the medicine drawer, and skillfully grabbed a few flavors of medicine.

"Boss Zhou, your relatives are here, you said that it was a coincidence, I was about to come to you to grab medicine, so he grabbed me and asked for your address, so I brought him directly." Wang Er's voice is still so loud, it seems that it has always been like this.

Zhou Fucai didn't look back, and said with a smile: "My relatives are all in these four towns and eight miles, and they don't know the way to my home, and there are no relatives in other places?"

"Cousin, why did you forget me?" A deep voice came from behind him.

Zhou Fucai turned around, and the sunlight shining in from the door made him squint his eyes suddenly, and he didn't see the person who came: "Cousin?" He asked, confused.

The man outside walked a few steps inside, stood on the edge of the counter, and smiled softly: "Cousin, now that you are developed, you will not disown me, a poor relative from other places, right?"

Zhou Fucai saw the appearance of the person who came, and in an instant, the whole person froze somewhere, as soon as his hand was released, with a snap, all the medicines he had just grabbed for Wang Er fell to the ground, and he fell to pieces.

"Hey, Boss Zhou, what are you doing here? I don't want this medicine, you have to grab a pair for me. I've never lost half a penny to you?" At the same time, Wang Er, who came over, couldn't help screaming when he saw the medicine thrown on the ground, and knocked on the counter dissatisfied, knocking and knocking.

"Don't worry, my cousin has always been bold, of course I'll grab another pair for you." The visitor smiled and said, "Brother Wang, thank you for bringing me here, if it weren't for you, I really couldn't find this place for a while, there are so many people in this county!"

"It's not, our Li County, although it is not big, but it is the main road into Jicheng, in the past few years, there are more and more people every year." Wang Er nodded again and again, his face full of joy, "But how good people are, we can make money when there are more people, like the small courtyard of my family, now I live with my mother, and the others are all rented to these people, and I can get a few taels of silver every month, otherwise where will I get the money to see a doctor for my mother, my mother has been sick for these years, and it used to be hard, and my mother's life was hard, and she survived to a good life, and after taking medicine last year, this disease is getting better day by day. It's not like a cough was a night before."

"Brother Wang is really filial. Good people are rewarded, and your mother will get better soon." The visitor praised.

"Thank you Jiyan, hey, Boss Zhou, what are you still doing, hurry up and get me medicine, my wife is still waiting for me to go home for dinner!" Wang Er knocked on the table again, "What's wrong with you, you are stupid to see your cousin coming?"

The sound of knocking on the counter surprised the stupid Zhou Fucai, "Oh, yes, it's time to catch you medicine, I'm stupid with joy, stupid with joy!"

Looking at the incoherent Zhou Fucai, Wang Er said with a smile: "It seems that Boss Zhou is really happy and stupid!"

The visitor just laughed and didn't make a sound, just looked thoughtfully at Zhou Fucai with his back to him, what Wang Er didn't notice was that Zhou Fucai's hand holding the medicine was shaking all the time, and the medicinal herbs he grabbed fell back several times.

Wang Er picked up the wrapped medicine, paid half a penny, and arched his hand at the visitor, "Your cousins haven't seen each other for many years, there must be a lot to say, I won't bother, farewell, farewell!"

"Okay, okay, Second Brother Wang is bold and meaningful, when I settle down, I'll come to you for a drink." The visitor smiled and returned the salute.

"Okay, drink, although my second king is poor, I can still afford a drink." Wang Er laughed and turned to leave.

As soon as Wang Er left, Zhou Fucai jumped out of the counter at once, and ran to the side of the door to close the door.

"Cousin, it's daylight, what are you doing when you close the door, for fear that others won't know that you are tired here?" The visitor hugged his arms, leaned against the counter, and looked at Zhou Fucai with a smile.

Zhou Fucai's outstretched hand froze suddenly, and after a while, he turned back with difficulty, looked at the visitor, and said in a low voice: "Lord Tan, you, why did you come here?"

"Didn't you think I'd come?" Tan Kang chuckled, "Our old brothers in the past, how could the young master forget, there were a lot of things in the past, and he couldn't be busy, but now that he doesn't fight, he is idle, so he naturally wants to find the old brothers to catch up with the old days, what's wrong, Lao Zhou, aren't you welcome?"

"No, no, no, how could it not be welcome?" Zhou Fucai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to calm himself.

"Dad, the medicine is ready." As soon as the curtain in the back hall was lifted, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out with a tray full of medicinal powder, and when he saw the visitor, he glanced at his father's expression again, and was stunned for a moment, "Dad, are you a guest?"

"Is this my cousin and nephew, they've grown so tall!" Tan Kang walked over with a happy face, looking the young man up and down, "I think I hugged you back then, by the way, cousin, I can't remember what my cousin's name is!"

"My name is Zhou Youwei!" The boy said loudly, "Who are you?"

"I'm your cousin, I've been out and about all year round, and I haven't been back for many years. Look, your father didn't even dare to recognize me just now?" Tan Kang laughed.

Zhou Fucai pretended to be smiling, "Youwei, my cousin is here, I'll go back to the house and talk to my cousin, and you take care of the shop outside."

"Don't worry, Dad, you can't make a mistake!" Zhou Youwei nodded.

Zhou Fucai stretched out his hand, "Please, cousin!"

Tan Kang smiled slightly and strode inside.

With a bang, the door was closed tightly by Zhou Fucai, holding the latch with both hands, Zhou Fucai stared at Tan Kang, "Lord Tan, what are you doing with me, Yan Lingwei is gone, it has dispersed, and I am no longer Yan Lingwei's person now."

Tan Kang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Fucai, "Who said that Yan Lingwei has dispersed, and the young master is still there, Yan Lingwei will not disperse. The young master is here, and Yan Lingwei is here."

"Lord Tan, don't forget it, there is a swallow in Yan Lingwei, now there is not even a big Yan, Lord Tan has now become the general of Great Qin, the former Yan Lingwei has long been scattered, Lord Tan, I have served Yan Lingwei for many years, there is no merit and hard work, why do you want to trouble me again?" Zhou Fucai stared at the other party, "Lord Tan, I don't embarrass you if you think about the old feelings, you go, none of us will want to go back to the old days."

Tan Kang looked at each other, laughed, not only did not leave, but took a step to the side of the chair, sat down, looked at the other party and said: "You are doing very well now, you seem to be really young and promising, listen, he is diagnosing patients, he is talking about the truth!" Tan Kang tilted his head and listened for a while, "I also heard that you have married a family with the Lu family, a wealthy businessman in Li County, and you will partner in the medicinal herb business in the next year, and the prospects are promising, no wonder you don't want to go back to Yan Lingwei."

"I'll say it again, Yan Lingwei is no longer there, since you have inquired about me so clearly, you know that I am just an ordinary Han ordinary person now, and I can't help you much, and I won't help you much."

Tan Kang remained silent, "Really? As far as I know, Yan Lingwei back then, part of him was killed by King Cao Yan because of his resistance, and part of him followed Ning Xin to the Supervision Yuan, with your skills, if you show your identity and defect to the past, you will inevitably have a good treatment, how do you become the owner of the pharmacy?"

"Me!" Zhou Fucai's face turned red.

"Oh, I remember, our Brother Zhou used to be a master of the torture room, oops, by the way, when we tried Ning Zecheng, Brother Zhou spared no effort, that one-handed acupuncture technique, and Lu Shiren of Donghu is similar, Ning Zecheng can't survive under you, can't die, now Ning Xin is the princess of the Han Dynasty, I heard that the Han King Gao Yuan favored her, it was very favorable, you didn't dare to go to them, you can only hide your name, for fear that they will know your past." Tan Kang looked at Zhou Fucai, whose face had turned pale, "Brother Zhou, you have no way out, if your identity is exposed, do you say that Ning Xin will pick your skin, hey, then we have a nephew's life must also be gloomy and tight, whether we can save my life, I really have to say something!"
