At the end of the fourth year of Yuankang, on the side of Yongqiao outside the south city of Luoyang, a large and powerful team was quietly waiting for visitors from afar.

Zheng Sheng rubbed his hands, stood on tiptoe in the crowd and looked southward, only to see the scene of the quiet Luoshui River, where there was nothing else and white.

"Our Shunyang King, can you get there today?" Zheng Sheng's tone was a little dissatisfied.

"No, after all, there are so many people waiting for him here." Liu Wei'er said on the side.

Zheng Sheng looked up at the blue sky, and said helplessly: "Who is right?" ”

Nearly an hour later, when the crowd was already tired and impatient, a group of black shadows quietly appeared in the southeast at the place where heaven and earth meet.

"It's coming, it's finally here." Zheng Sheng felt as if his whole body had been completely frozen, he looked sideways at Liu Wei'er's equally red face, and couldn't help complaining: "However, people have been frozen miserably." I told you before that it was too cold not to come with you, but you didn't listen. ”

Liu Wei'er shook her head and said softly: "If I don't follow, will the prince wait until now?" ”

"Why not, do you think I'm going to leave early?"

"Won't it? Yes. Therefore I will come with the Son. The king of Shunyang came to Luoyang for the auction house. He will definitely see you as soon as possible, and if the prince is not waiting for him here, the king will probably be angry. It will definitely have a bad impact on the next plan of the prince. ”

Zheng Sheng looked at the convoy in the distance and said, "He is a county king, can he come to Luoyang without entertainment?" How could you have seen me in the first place? ”

"But, didn't he come to Luoyang just to persuade the prince?"

"Didn't I already explain to him that I wouldn't sell the auction house. Could it be that he came to Luoyang to get ownership of the auction house? Zheng Sheng frowned slightly.

The team of men and horses arrived soon, and Sima Xin slapped his horse forward, and talked to Sima Chang who poked his head out for a while. The two fused teams walked together towards the city.

Until he arrived in the city, Sima Chang did not send anyone to pass on the message to him.

So, Zheng Sheng smiled at Liu Wei'er and said, "It seems that the king won't see me today." If I knew this was the case, I might as well not come. ”

Liu Wei'er smiled and said, "What the prince said is right. ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head helplessly, the final result of arguing with her was like this, she would not force an argument for her own opinion.

The two returned home and went to see Zhou Qiao together.

Zhou Qiao has been moving here for nearly a month, and his cough symptoms are getting worse and worse, although Zheng Sheng has invited a famous doctor in Luoyang for him to treat him. Doctors even asserted that he might not survive the winter.

In other words, the medical technology of this era can't save Zhou Qiao. So, is there any other way?

Naturally, mushroom moss liquid is used. Zheng Sheng thought of it immediately. Although mushroom moss liquid is known as a "cure-all", it also has its limitations. Zhou Qiao's illness is the result of his failure to properly treat in time after he was injured in the war more than ten years ago, coupled with long-term depression.

His condition gave people the feeling that the end was approaching, which made Zheng Sheng very skeptical that the panacea would still be effective for him. After all, he thinks that the effect of penicillin is probably to kill the germs in the patient's body, and Zhou Qiao's illness is the decline of physical functions, just like an old man who is about to die of natural aging.

Zheng Sheng told Zhou Qiao his thoughts with the idea of giving it a try. Zhou Qiao didn't mind Zheng Sheng using him as an experiment.

So, Shen Huai, who came to Luoyang a few days ago, injected Zhou Qiao with an injection.

The effect is not as significant as in the treatment of high fever and trauma, Zhou Qiao only has a much better cough symptoms, although his body is still weak, but it seems that there is already a possibility of recuperation.

When Zheng Sheng entered the door, he saw Zhou Qiao slowly pacing in the room in his middle coat. Looks in good spirits.

Zheng Shengzheng said a few words to him, and the shout of the porter Zheng Zhang came from outside the door: "Shizi, there are people from the Shunyang Royal Mansion outside the door asking to see you." ”

"Shunyang Palace?" Zheng Sheng was a little surprised, Sima Chang really wanted to see him!

Zheng Sheng walked out the door and found that the person who came was not someone he knew. And this person's purpose is indeed to invite him to the Shunyang Royal Mansion in the south of the Xinye Mansion.

When Zheng Sheng arrived at the palace, it was already dark. The palace that saw off the guests still seemed a little hectic.

Zheng Sheng was invited to a study. Then he met Sima Chang, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year. Zheng Sheng looked at him, feeling a little strange in his heart, how did he feel fat again?

Sima Chang walked over with a smile and grabbed Zheng Sheng's hand: "Ke Wu is okay?" ”

"Thanks to the king's blessing, it's okay." Zheng Sheng replied.

"Ke Wu, the widow heard about your family's magic medicine called 'mushroom moss liquid', but it is really a gift from heaven?" He lowered his voice and whispered.

Zheng Sheng looked at him in amazement, and then remembered that he had fooled the king, so he smiled again: "Yes, it is indeed a gift from God." ”

Sima Chang excitedly held Zheng Sheng's hand: "Ke Wu! You're not right, since you've communicated with God, why don't you tell the widow? That's it, that's it, the widow doesn't mention it. The widow came to you for the auction house. ”

"The king wants to buy the auction house? It's not good for you to push down the price. ”

Sima Chang actually thought about it seriously for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what price you want to offer?" ”

"Wanquan Town." Zheng Shengdao.

Sima Chang leaned back, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes: "Wanquan Town? Because the widow 'lent' Wanquan Town to you for twenty years, Zong Zheng gave the widow a stern warning. Exchange Wanquan Town for an auction house? I can accept it. ”

"Huh?"

"However, the widow will never buy it! The widow doesn't understand: our auction house is thriving, why does Ke Wu insist on getting out of the auction house? ”

Zheng Sheng smiled: "That's just my impulsive idea, haven't I already written to tell the king that I won't sell the auction house?" ”

"What about diamonds? No more diamonds for auction? ”

"There are no diamonds." Zheng Sheng replied calmly.

"If you don't believe it, can't you get mushroom moss? Why can't you get a new diamond? You should also know that diamonds are our best auction items, without diamonds, we will not have the suppression of those new auction houses, which is not conducive to the development of our auction houses! ”

Zheng Sheng pondered for a moment: "The diamonds can continue to be auctioned, but I will reduce the quantity." As for the loss of this part, I will make up for it with a new plan. ”

Sima Chang asked with interest: "New plan?" Let's hear it. ”

"The first plan was about 'mushroom moss liquid', and I never thought about how to use it, but recently I had a preliminary idea: put it on the auction table as well!"

"Put the mushroom moss liquid up for auction? Isn't that medicine? How to auction medicine? ”

"I haven't thought about these things yet, but the top priority is to find a patient: a patient with a noble status, but suffering from a serious illness, which can no longer be cured by famous doctors in Luoyang."

"You have to cure him with mushroom moss liquid and beat the fame of the miracle medicine!" Sima Chang understood something.

"The king is wise. However, such patients are a bit difficult to find! ”

"Well, I'll keep an eye out for you."

……

When I walked out of the Shunyang Palace, the night was already very dark. Zheng Sheng walked in the dark night, looking at this huge city, silently thinking in his heart.
