Chapter 166: A friend's wife should not be bullied
In order to help the tea merchants in the chamber of commerce to purchase spring tea, Hui Niang goes out early and returns late during this time, usually returning to the pharmacy after nightfall, and even staying up late at night to make a purchase plan. Shen Xi wanted to help her, but Hui Niang had to insist on completing it by herself this time, according to her, she couldn't rely on Shen Xi for everything.
The pharmacy's prescription medicine business is very good, and recently the merchants who come and go to Tingzhou Mansion have another transshipment of goods, that is, the prescription medicine of Lu's pharmacy.
Shen Xi specially customized a sealed clay pot for the finished medicine produced by his own pharmaceutical factory, with a built-in medicine bag and an instruction manual with an anti-counterfeiting logo and corresponding code, and marked with the mark of "Lu's" on the outside, in addition to preventing someone from framing him, he also hoped that the signboard could be played outside.
In early May, there were several heavy rains in Tingzhou Prefecture, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the business of the pharmacy was much lighter.
On this day, when Shen Xi came back from school, he saw three young men in Confucian shirts with folding fans in their hands coming to the pharmacy, pointing around the screen where Xie Yun'er was sitting and laughing.
The three sons behaved lightly, their hands kept touching the screen, pushing in, and pulling outward, as if they were sincerely looking for trouble.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhou asked Ning'er to step forward to catch people away, but the three sons and brothers were careless about Ning'er, who was getting more and more beautiful, and Ning'er retreated all the way to the corner with fear on her face.
"Mother, who are these?" Shen Xi asked in front of the counter.
Zhou was annoyed: "The ghost knows." Here for more than half an hour, all the guests were driven away...... Don't be the one surnamed Hong who came to harass the Xie family's sister, right? β
Shen Xi thought to himself, how Hong Xun said that he was also "in love" with Xie Yun'er, and he was thinking about how to save his relationship with Xie Yun'er, instead of finding a few gentlemen to come over and tease his ex-fiancΓ©e.
At this time, a patient happened to come in for consultation, just sitting, put his hand through the hole in the screen at the edge of the table, when Xie Yun'er took the pulse, the slender jade hand happened to be able to see through the gap, the three sons and brothers suddenly straightened their eyes, pushed forward, and the screen suddenly fell in.
Xie Yun'er stood up suddenly and pushed the screen down.
"Bang!"
The screen was sturdy and fell to the ground.
Xie Yun'er stared at the three swinger brothers in front of her with raised eyebrows, and asked, "If you don't ask a doctor, please leave by yourself!" β
The tall boy at the head giggled and said, "Why is Miss Xie angry? I heard that the young lady has a beautiful face and is a goddess doctor who rejuvenates her hands, so she came to visit her today. β
The two next to him echoed, and one of them said: "This screen was knocked down by Miss Xie herself, could it be that Miss Xie is in a hurry to get married and wants to see the heroic appearance of the three of us?" Hahaha......"
Words are frivolous, where is the slightest bit of Sven to speak of?
Shen Xi was stunned when he heard this, could it be that his peers sent him to make trouble?
The news of Xie Yun'er's consultation in Lu's pharmacy has long been spread throughout Tingzhou Mansion, but the people mention it with a sense of respect. The heart of the doctor's parents, Xie Yun'er's superb medical skills, cured many patients with incurable diseases, and the reputation of Lu's medicine is getting louder and louder, and Xie Yun'er is also named the goddess doctor, so that many patients in other prefectures and counties also come here.
The better the business of Lu's pharmacy, the business of other pharmacy will naturally be affected, although there is a chamber of commerce to co-ordinate, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no villains.
Someone made a special trip to the pharmacy to make trouble, and this was the second time after the flood.
But Hong Xun and Xie Yun'er have a marriage contract, and it is understandable to come all the way to meet each other, these three sons and brothers have a local accent when they hear it, and their intentions are worth figuring out.
"This is a pharmacy, if you continue to mistreat the little girl, the little woman will sue the government." Xie Yun'er gritted her teeth and said.
"Official? Hehe, it's unfortunate, this He Gongzi, his father is the county magistrate of Changting, but I don't know if the magistrate of He County is helping you, a little girl who has never known all your life, or helping his own son? β
The tall boy laughed endlessly, with a fearless posture.
is actually the son of an official eunuch, and even the father who is next to him is a Changting county magistrate, Shen Xi secretly wondered, could it be that this guy who spoke has a more prominent family background?
Just when Xie Yun'er's pretty face was flushed, and she didn't know how to deal with it, she suddenly heard a loud shout from the door: "Get out!" β
Everyone looked sideways, but saw Hui Niang standing at the door with a majestic face, glaring at the three of them angrily.
"You...... What did you say? In the face of Hui Niang's rebuke, the tall man's tone was slightly soft, and he was taken away by Hui Niang's momentum for a while.
Hui Niang said angrily: "There are orphans and widows in this pharmacy, you came to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, so immoral, do you want to provoke civil revolt?" β
At any time, it is a major event to have immorality, let alone provoke civil unrest. Ninghua is located at the junction of three provinces, and recently there have been frequent rebellions in Lingnan, and even the Tingzhou Mansion is not peaceful. After all, Lu's pharmacy has a good reputation, especially Lu Sun's is also a goddess doctor publicly commended by the imperial court, and it can be described as a Buddha in Tingzhou. If it is really because of the bad morals and customs that arouse the resentment of the people and lead to the civil uprising, even if there is some background in the family, they can't bear it.
"Miss Xie, then let's go back and talk about friendship again." The three sons were about to leave, but they still stretched out their hands to touch Xie Yun'er, but Xie Yun'er dodged and avoided them.
The three sons left with a grin, and when they walked away, Hui Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
reprimanded in public the villains who were said to be the sons of the county commanders, and she also mustered up her courage. People are good at being bullied, if she didn't directly threaten just now, but stepped forward to persuade her, these three sons would only be more presumptuous, and even she might be treated lightly.
Hui Niang asked Zhou about the situation, only to know that these three official eunuchs came without warning.
"Let's be careful in the future, in the end, it's my daughter's family, and we must know how to avoid taboos when we come out."
Hui Niang's words were said to Xie Yun'er and Zhou, but she was actually reminding herself.
Shen Xi was silent beside him, he was still thinking about what was hidden behind this matter.
It stands to reason that even if these three sons and brothers have no one in their eyes, they will not come to the pharmacy for no reason to play a medical woman who has never even met her, in this Tingzhou Mansion, there are only a handful of people who have really seen Xie Yun'er's appearance and know her identity.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day coincided with the first day of the school day.
The 1/10 rest was proposed by Shen Xi according to the principle of combining work and rest. Once people face a long-term high-pressure state, the learning efficiency is not good, if you can rest and relax a little in the middle, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Regarding Shen Xi's proposal, Hui Niang and Feng Yanqi both felt reasonable. In addition, the school accepts all the children of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, all of whom are day students, and nothing will happen even if they take a day off in October, so they promised to come, and they will become the new rules of the school.
In the backyard of the pharmacy, Shen Xi finished his homework and reviewed the "Notes on the Four Books", and was just about to teach the two little Loli arithmetic when there was a knock on the door.
Shen Xi thought that Shen Mingjun had something to do, but he looked out through the crack in the door, but it was turbid.
At this time, the flood was turbid, and the silk and satin did not know where to go, and the slightly shabby blue cloth shirt leader had some stains on his mouth, and there was a strong smell of wine on his body.
"Young Master Hong, how did you find here?"
Shen Xi opened the door and looked up, thinking to himself that the conspiracy had succeeded, and the turbid entanglement was about to run out?
Hong Xun's face was full of wind and dust, and he was much haggard than before. He smiled at Shen Xi and said, "In the past few days, according to the instructions of the little brother, I have gone to the city to publicize the fact that I am going to open a private school, but with little success. Later, I asked someone to help and got acquainted with a few local scholars in Tingzhou Mansion, who were very interested in the matter of me and the sister of the Xie family...... Deeply sympathetic and expressed his willingness to do good things. β
Shen Xi said in his heart, it turned out that the crux was here. Yesterday, the three Yanei should have gotten the news from Hong Xun and came to the pharmacy to pester Xie Yun'er.
"What did you say to them?" Shen Xi asked with a frown.
Hong Xun sighed with a little emotion: "I just told the truth what happened to me and the sister of the Xie family, the sister of the Xie family was unfortunate and had to go to Tingzhou...... Those people were very concerned about me and the Xie family's sister-in-law, and several of them formed close friends with me, and they told me that they had come to the pharmacy yesterday to help me make peace, and as long as I came to meet the Xie family's sister today, I would definitely be able to get a love token...... So, here I am. β
Shen Xi couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, how much less heartless he was, and told a group of fox friends about the beautiful and generous "Xie family girl" in his mind, which caused his love partner to be molested, and teased him afterwards and asked him to come to scold. If Xie Yun'er knew that he had found the three prodigal sons of the disciples yesterday, he would have to give him a slap.
"The Xie family's sister can be inside?" Hong Xun looked into the courtyard, and could only see Lu Xi'er and Lin Dai looking at him with a pen.
"Yes, but you'd better not go in today." Shen Xi pulled Hong Xun out of the door, turned around and beckoned Lin Dai to ask her to bolt the door.
Hong Xun's face was puzzled: "Little brother, my few close friends have paved the way for me and the Xie family's sister to get back together, why do you stop me?" Could it be that you want me to go from the front door to propose marriage to the Xie family's sister-in-law? β
Shen Xi scolded: "You said that those gentlemen are your friends, they are presumptuous scholars, do you know that your friends' wives can't be bullied?" β
Hong Xun read it silently and asked, "Little brother, you said it more clearly, this is ...... What's the connection? β
In the face of this kind of nerd, Shen Xi felt a deep helplessness, and sighed: "Yesterday, your friends came to the pharmacy to make trouble, which made Miss Xie lose face, if it weren't for the pharmacy shopkeeper to rush back in time, your Xie sister-in-law would have been taken advantage of by them." β
"How can it be!"
Hong Xun was embarrassed and punched the wall on the side of the street, but the pain was so painful that he quickly retracted his hand to his mouth and sighed, and tears hurt out.
After a long time, Hong Xun looked stunned: "Little brother, I'm going to seek justice with those guys, are you willing to go with me?" β
Of course, Shen Xi didn't want to join in this kind of fun, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "What do you want me to do?" Why don't you go yourself......"
Hong Xun was regarded as a wronged leader, and he cheated and cheated on the local evildoers, and those people made jokes about his troubles, and they even openly teased the woman he never forgot. Now that he has fallen out, those people will definitely not give him face, and it is possible to beat him.
"Little brother, I came from thousands of mountains and rivers, in exchange for the sincere understanding of the sister of the Xie family, but now that I have run out of money and have no long things, I am about to return to the capital, and I can't do anything for her. Now that she has been bullied, I will definitely seek justice for her, and I will do the last thing for her before leaving, I hope you can help me, little brother. β
Hong Xun has a kind of desolation that a strong man will never return, Shen Xi heard this, and couldn't help but change his attitude towards him.
Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Gongzi Hong thinks too highly of me, how can I help as a child?" At most, you go up and reason, and I'll watch from the sidelines, if you don't agree with each other...... Ahem, if there's anything going on, I'll call someone to help you. β
"Good...... Good ......"
Hong Xun smiled and nodded, "Just wait for the little brother's words." β
Shen Xi smiled dumbly, his feelings were turbid and he wanted to "reason", and he was afraid of being beaten, so he wanted to find someone to watch from the side, just in case.
What a bear this man!
