Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai went out to go back to the room, Lin Qingdai said that it was still early, and asked him to go to his room to talk. Du Wenhao naturally would not refuse.

He knew how much Lin Qingdai had drunk, and saw that although she was holding her cheeks in her hands, her face was full of spring, and her eyes were blinking with a pair of red phoenix eyes, she shouldn't be very drunk, so he said, "Sister Qingdai, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

Lin Qingdai looked out the window, pointed to the sky and said, "Wen Hao, you see that the moonlight is so good today!" ”

Du Wenhao looked up, and sure enough, it was a bright moon in the sky, and the breeze was slow, so he didn't notice such a good scene.

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric." Du Wenhao couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Qingdai got up, the skirt around her waist rose in the wind, and a touch of light green was faintly visible on her clothes, Du Wenhao knew that it was the petticoat of Lin Qingdai's dress, with green silk hanging down her waist, and her eyes were cold to everyone on weekdays, but the soft light that was only revealed to Du Wenhao was now covered up by sadness because of those things before.

"Wen Hao, I want to go and sit on the roof, will you accompany me?" Lin Qingdai said faintly, two rows of "black brushes" fluttering from time to time, with a firm nose and a small mouth, outlining the mold of a moonlight goddess, which makes people unbearable.

Du Wenhao is a little confused, although this woman is a little older than herself, but in front of herself, she has always been obedient, charming and charming, coupled with a cold temperament, unlike other women, she doesn't talk much, but she says everything in her heart, and she is not clingy, but she always silently stays by your side when you need it, men probably want to have such a red face.

Lin Qingdai saw that Du Wenhao was silent, turned her head to look, and saw that he was looking at herself in a daze, with love and pity in his eyes, his heart was hot, he stood up, walked out of the door, stood in the corridor, turned around and glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be sad and resentful.

Du Wenhao's heart fluttered, he hurriedly went out to the corridor, hugged her little waist, and didn't wait to speak, but Lin Qingdai had already said: "Wenhao, I want to go to the roof to see the moon." Will you stay with me? ”

"Rooftop?" Du Wenhao immediately remembered the plot of Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu watching the moon on the roof in "Wulin Gaiden", and his heart was hot, "Okay! But I can't go up! ”

"I'll pull you up!" Lin Qingdai went up to the room, and for a moment, stretched out her slender hand, "Hold my hand!" ”

Du Wenhao grabbed her hand without hesitation, and then he felt like a cloud, and with a whoosh, he went to the roof.

Du Wenhao was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, the wind was whirring in his ears, a pair of slender and powerful hands were placed on his waist, and a faint fragrance passed in front of his nose from time to time, he knew that this was the smell of Qingdai.

This inn has three floors, all made of wood, the east side of the roof is different from other places, relatively flat, Wang Qiu's wife looks like a woman who can live, some seasonal vegetables are dried on the roof, after drying, not only can be kept for winter to eat, but also in case of emergency, such a year, it is time to plan more for the future.

There were also a few bamboo poles on the roof, which were supposed to dry clothes, and there was a sewing basket on a bench against the wall, and there were some unfinished embroideries in it, and a butterfly rested on a delicate peony with only half of its wings in the moonlight, and now it was a little overwhelmed.

Lin Qingdai put Du Wenhao firmly on the ground, and seeing that Du Wenhao was still with his eyes closed, she stepped forward and whispered, "Wenhao, stand firm, you have reached the roof." ”

Du Wenhao smiled slightly, opened his eyes, looked at Lin Qingdai in front of him, and saw Lin Qingdai smiling lightly, so he said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Laugh at you pretending to be drunk."

"Even if that daughter Hong can't get me drunk, with such a beautiful woman by my side, if I'm still awake, then I'm really pretending." Du Wenhao said and gently held Lin Qingdai's hand.

The two of them found a high place to sit down, and there were still one or two rooms in the courtyard that gave off a faint light, and a few dogs barked in the distance, and soon there was silence.

"Qing Dai, do you say that the common people's bitter fifth master is really clear, that Yu Ge'er giggles on weekdays, always likes to fight unevenly, like a little girl who doesn't know the world, but I don't know why, I always feel that she has things in her heart."

Lin Qingdai gently leaned her head on Du Wenhao's shoulder, looked at Haoyue in the sky, and nodded slightly, which can be regarded as agreeing: "I think so, looking at the mood of the fifth master today, I think he is really sad, you must know that it is very bitter to be sad in wine." The fifth master really wants to do something for the people, and there is also King Anshi, who also wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army from the bottom of his heart. As for Yu Ge'er, we get along the most on weekdays, although this girl is really love-hate-hate, but she never mentions her family in front of me, one day seems to be in addition to the fifth master, is to eat and sleep, but I think she is really good to the fifth master. Speaking of this, Lin Qingdai lowered her voice and said, "Then again, that court lady doesn't want to please the emperor?" ”

"Alas, don't talk about her, who doesn't pretend to be in everyone's hearts?"

Lin Qingdai raised her eyes just to see Du Wenhao's chin, so she smiled softly and said, "Then what do you have in your heart?" ”

Du Wenhao held Lin Qingdai's little hand, kneaded it gently, and sighed: "There are a lot of things, you, Qin'er, Fei'er, Li'er, and those hungry people on the street, today's fifth master's words really go up to my heart." ”

Both of them couldn't help but sigh at the same time, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile. Du Wenhao said: "Okay, it's useless for us to be anxious, now the fifth master and the shopkeeper Wang are looking at it, but their mouths are about to bubble in a hurry, and their hearts must be like ants on a hot pot." I think that the fifth master should have some gains this time, and maybe they can come up with a reform method to change the law. If the law reform continues, I am afraid that if the country does not get rich, the common people will make a fuss. ”

Lin Qingdai nodded approvingly, and said: "Wen Hao, you still have a long-term view, the fifth master always said that you are not only good at medicine, but also unique and wise, it seems that you still have the point." ”

Du Wenhao smiled sneeringly, hooked his fingers and scratched the bridge of Lin Qingdai's nose, and said, "That's why I chose you." ”

Lin Qingdai smiled shyly and snuggled into his arms.

The moon hid in the clouds, the sky was dark, on the roof of the Shunfeng Inn, two figures snuggled tightly, and gradually the two heads merged into one, the evening breeze blew gently, and the night deepened.

In the early morning, the sun comes out and the sun is shining, such a fresh air is very refreshing and pleasant for people who do not work in farming, but for farmers who have not rained for months, they have to continue to scold their mothers with bitter faces.

A cluster of bright red moons bloomed overnight in the courtyard of the inn, the delicate stamens swayed slightly in the rain, and the three or two young swallows seemed to hear the sound of falling water and falling stones under the eaves, thinking that it was the mother swallow returning from eating, and secretly poked out her little head to look around, and her mouth was chattering with a hungry sound.

Du Wenhao got up early in the morning, and he had to help Gan Laohan recover compensation today. But he was not in a hurry, he first took a pen and wrote a prescription, gastrodia hook vine drink.

Out of the inn, at a glance, I saw Gan Laohan squatting on the side of the road across the street, looking at the door of the inn, seeing Du Wenhao come out, his face was happy, and he hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Du Enren!" ”

"Don't call me that!" Du Wenhao looked left and right, and took out a small piece of silver from his arms and gave it to him: "You go to the Huimin pharmacy first, catch the Qin Geng Tianma decoction according to the recipe last time, and then stay in the pharmacy under the pretext of seeing a doctor, you don't have to worry about anything else, I'll deal with it." ”

Gan Lao Han agreed, carefully took the small piece of silver, and walked to the pharmacy first. Du Wenhao was far away.

This Huimin pharmacy is located in the downtown area, and it is not too far from the inn where they live. It's two streets away.

The façade of this pharmacy is relatively large, and there are several people seeking medical advice inside, and an old man with a white beard is sitting in the hall to consult a doctor.

Seeing Gan Laohan enter the pharmacy from a distance, Du Wenhao walked over slowly, took off his robe and stepped into the pharmacy.

A guy came over, saw Du Wenhao's brocade clothes and jade belt, and nodded busily with a smile on his face: "This master, do you see a doctor or take medicine?" ”

"Grab the medicine!" Du Wenhao glanced at it and saw that Gan Laohan was grabbing medicine on the counter, and a few pieces of prescription paper wrapped in medicine were placed on the high counter. He walked to the counter and took out the prescription and placed it on the table. The guy took it and looked at it, "Gastrodia hook vine drink, good!" Uncle, sit down over there for a while, and the little one will give you medicine immediately, just wait a while! ”

Du Wenhao said: "Don't sit down, hurry up, I'll wait." ”

"Okay!" The guy started to pick up the medicine on the other side.

Du Wenhao saw that Gan Laohan had already grabbed a few flavors of medicine in the medicine paper, and gastrodia was also among them, so he inadvertently picked up a piece and looked at it, and sighed in his heart, without looking at it for a second time, Du Wenhao knew that this medicine was real gastrodia. glanced at the guy: "Your medicinal herbs are not bad!" ”

The guy laughed and said, "That is, our medicines are all purchased from Yisi in Guanfu City, and they are all excellent medicinal materials." If it's not a good medicine, we won't get it. ”

Du Wenhao took a look at the gastrodia in the other packets of medicine, and they were all true.

Soon, his own medicinal use came, and he checked the gastrodia again, and it was still true. I don't feel very confused.

Soon, Gan Laohan grasped all the medicines, carried the medicine bag, and didn't look at Du Wenhao, turned around and walked to the door, stood up again, slapped his back with his hand, and said to himself: "My old waist hurts a lot these days, since I'm here, let's take a look at it." ”

The guy on the side hurriedly beckoned: "Then please take a seat, the first few doctors will show you after reading it." ”

Gan Laohan nodded, sat on the bench with the medicine bag and waited.

Du Wenhao's medicine was also wrapped, and the man put the medicine bag in front of Du Wenhao: "The medicine is good, uncle, a total of two hundred and sixty-seven Wen." ”

Du Wenhao took a stack of Jiaozi from his arms, all of which were fifty pieces, a large stack, and drew one and handed it to the guy.

The guy laughed and said, "Uncle, you, do you have zero?" This ......, hehe, I can't find it. ”

Du Wenhao pulled the stack of silver tickets, frowned and said: "I don't have zero, I came to Guixian to buy medicinal materials, I just arrived last night, and my companion is sick, so I came to catch the medicine and go back......"

The guy's eyes lit up: "Uncle, our Huimin Pharmacy has a complete range of medicinal materials, and the price is cheaper than other places, and this product is also a high-quality and authentic medicinal material, you also saw it just now, since you want to enter the medicinal materials, why not enter it in our pharmacy?" If so, the money for this medicine will also be waived for you. Huh"

Du Wenhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "Oh? Do you also wholesale medicinal herbs? ”

"That's, we do wholesale and retail, our pharmacy is a time-honored brand in Dongming County, you can absolutely rest assured in terms of reputation!"

"That's okay, which medicinal materials are not entered, the price is right, let your shopkeeper come and talk."

"Okay!" That guy saw that Du Wenhao had a huge amount of money in his pocket, and he was definitely making a big deal, if he could win this business, the shopkeeper's reward would definitely be indispensable. He smiled and said, "Uncle, you come with me, sit in the flower hall for a while, and the small one will invite the shopkeeper to go." ”

Du Wenhao followed the guy to the flower hall, and a servant came over to cut fragrant tea. After waiting for a while, a fat old man hurriedly walked out of it, and after the guy introduced him, it was the shopkeeper Luo of this pharmacy. Du Wenhao also introduced himself, claiming to be a medicinal herb merchant.

Shopkeeper Luo smiled all over his face, and began to brag about the cheap and good quality of the medicinal materials in his pharmacy, Du Wenhao listened with interest, and when he had no new words, he smiled and said: "The most important thing for the medicinal materials I want to buy is that the price should be cheap, you know, we are in the medicinal materials business, and we can't make money when the goods are expensive!" ”

"That's that!" Shopkeeper Luo smiled and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "You come with me, go to the warehouse first to take a look at the goods, and make sure you are satisfied!" ”

Shopkeeper Luo took Du Wenhao to a large warehouse in the back hall of the pharmacy, which was full of medicinal materials, most of which were half-processed decoction pieces, packed in sacks. A couple of guys are concocting it further. When he saw them come in, he hurriedly got up and stood with his hands down.

Du Wenhao looked at each other slowly, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, he stopped in front of a bag of medicinal materials, selected a piece of medicinal materials from it, picked it up and looked through it carefully, and then turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Luo and the guy.

I saw that the two of them did not change their faces at all, and they still looked at him with a smile. Du Wenhao secretly wondered, and continued to walk forward, and when he had seen all the medicinal materials in the sack, he had already held more than a dozen pieces of different medicinal materials in his hand.

Shopkeeper Luo didn't know what Du Wenhao was doing with these pieces, and looked at him suspiciously.

Du Wenhao put the dozen pieces on the coffee table, clapped his hands, glanced at the guys next to him, coughed, and said, "Can I talk to Shopkeeper Luo alone?" ”

"Okay! All quit! Like a duck, Shopkeeper Luo drove all the guys out of the medicinal herb warehouse, and after giving up their seats, the two sat down.

Du Wenhao took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to Shopkeeper Luo.

Shopkeeper Luo took it suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Du, ...... are you?" ”

"Look! See what is written on it? ”

Shopkeeper Luo took the waist card and took a closer look, his body trembled, looked at Du Wenhao, and stammered: "Your ......, you are the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital?" ”

"That's right! I'm the chief waiter! ”

Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly got up, lifted his robe and knelt down: "The grass people see the imperial doctor!" His stomach was full of doubts, how could he go to a small pharmacy in a small county town to wholesale medicinal materials? No, the imperial doctor doesn't care about the wholesale of medicinal materials, that is, he didn't come here to wholesale medicinal materials, or for another purpose. What is the purpose? Shopkeeper Luo didn't dare to think about it, but he always felt that it was not a good thing in his heart.

Du Wenhao said: "You must have guessed, I came to your pharmacy, not to purchase medicinal materials, there are two things, I need the shopkeeper Luo to give an answer to the official, otherwise, I will sell fake medicines to you, not only can you not open this pharmacy, you also have to squat in the room!" ”

Shopkeeper Luo shuddered, kowtowed, and said: "My lord, the little one has always been law-abiding, and he never dared to mess around. ”

"Really?" Du Wenhao tapped the dozen or so pieces on the table with his fingers: "Shopkeeper Luo, these are the ones that the official just took out of your sack, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Don't you think, there's something wrong with these herbs?"

Shopkeeper Luo's fat body was agitated again, and he looked up at the decoction pieces: "These ......, these are fake medicines?" ”

Du Wenhao sneered and picked up a piece of decoction: "What is this?" ”

Shopkeeper Luo glanced at it: "It seems to be ......, it seems to be He Shou Wu?" ”

"That's right! It was supposed to be He Shou Wu, but in the sack you put He Shou Wu, there are a lot of these things, do you know what they are? ”

Shopkeeper Luo squinted his eyes and looked at it again: "Is it He Shou Wu......?" ”

"Wrong! It's called a yellow medicine potato! The appearance of the two is very similar, except that the yellow medicine potato is much cheaper than He Shou Wu! And yellow medicine potatoes are poisonous, and if you eat them indiscriminately, it will cause liver failure! The liver will die because of this! ”

Shopkeeper Luo was so frightened that he sat on the ground: "My lord! No way? ”

"Won't? Wait a while, the official will take these medicines to the yamen and let the magistrate deal with them, and you will see if it will. ”

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Du Wenhao ignored him and picked up another piece of decoction: "Look at this again, what is it?" ”

Shopkeeper Luo prostrate on the ground, raised his head and looked at it again: "It seems to be ......, it seems to be Beiqi?" ”

"Wrong! The northern japonicus is smaller than this, this is the astragalus! The price of Astragalus is much cheaper than Astragalus! However, the medicinal value is very different! You use this to pretend to be Beiqi, can the patient be cured? ”

"Spare your life!" Shopkeeper Luo kowtowed again.

Du Wenhao snorted and picked up another piece: "What is this?" ”

Shopkeeper Luo glanced at it again: "It seems to be ......, it seems to be ...... Gastrodia! ”

Du Wenhao frowned: "Gastrodia is gastrodia, what seems to be!" Are you the shopkeeper of a pharmacy and can't even tell the difference between medicinal herbs? ”

Shopkeeper Luo said with a bitter face: "My lord, the small one is already in the cloth business, and the business has been sluggish. I really don't know much about medicinal herbs. For this, I am often cheated. ”

"You want to get the buck?" Du Wenhao sneered.

"No, no, the villain doesn't dare, the villain really doesn't know much about medicinal materials, and this pharmacy has just accepted it for more than half a year. If you don't believe me, adults can go to the neighborhood to inquire, you know, I used to open a garment store in Dongming County, and I only brought this Huimin medicine shop over last summer. The former shopkeeper's surname is Li, and he has gone back to his hometown. People on this street know it. ”

"This official doesn't care if you really understand medicinal materials or pretend, anyway, if your pharmacy sells fake medicines, you can't escape the blame! Tell you, there is an old man outside, who came with this official, his son got a paralysis certificate in Layue last year, and he saw a doctor in your pharmacy and prescribed medicine, and prescribed Qin Gang Tianma soup, after eating it for several months, not only did not get better at all, but his condition became worse day by day! After the official checked it, he found that the gastrodia in it was fake! Here! It's this kind of fake gastrodia, and the official has found a number of them since your warehouse, what else do you have to say? Hum! You, an unscrupulous pharmacist, actually sold fake medicines to others, causing people to almost lose their families. If you are hungry for profit, aren't you afraid of the king's law? ”

Shopkeeper Luo kowtowed like pounding garlic: "My lord, my lord spare my life!" The villain really doesn't know that there are fake gastrodia and fake medicinal materials in it, so he begs the adults to spare his life! ”

Du Wenhao tilted his head and looked at the fat man, thinking that judging from his previous expression, it really didn't look like he was pretending, could it be that he really didn't understand medicinal materials and was deceived by someone? Then he said, "Where did you get these medicinal materials from?" ”

"The city is easy to do! They are all from the county and city. ”

The city is a kind of government-run enterprise set up by Wang Anshi's law, operated by the government, and is also engaged in buying low and selling high, purchasing materials from cheap places, transporting them to expensive places to sell, and earning the difference, but this price will be a little cheaper than the normal market price, the purpose is not to make money, but through the purchase and sale of this kind of government-run institutions, to achieve material allocation, and by the way, you can make money to subsidize the finance.

When Du Wenhao heard that this matter was actually linked to the City Yi Division, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Luo, you sell fake medicines, the crime is already very serious, if you frame the government and the court again, it will be a capital crime to exterminate the clan!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare, it is indeed the goods purchased from the City Yi Division, because the City Yi Division stipulates that medicinal materials can only be imported from them, and they are purchased from the pharmacists without authorization, and the pharmacy will be banned and not allowed to operate. This rule is known to several pharmacies in Dongming County, and all pharmacies are also imported from the government's city Yisi, and the villain does not dare to deceive the adult, please be aware of the adult! ”

The Northern Song Dynasty initially stipulated that medicinal materials were officially monopolized commodities and were strictly forbidden to be bought and sold privately, but later, this ban was gradually relaxed, and those who were privately engaged in the business of medicinal materials also turned a blind eye, but this ban was not abolished.

Du Wenhao understood and nodded: "Okay, since you said so, this official will believe you for the time being." As for whether it's true or not, this official will find out! - What are you going to do about the old man outside? ”

Shopkeeper Luo kowtowed and said, "Compensation for the shop, full compensation." ”

"Okay, you go out and deal with it yourself, the official will watch!"

"Yes!" After the shopkeeper Luo kowtowed, he got up and made a move, and then came to the front hall, Du Wenhao instructed Gan Laohan, and the shopkeeper Luo went out, nodded and bowed, and then asked the account room to take two hundred silver to Gan Laohan.

Two hundred taels, that is equivalent to 200,000 yuan, how could Gan Laohan have thought that there would be so much compensation, holding that pile of money, he was happy and frightened, and he didn't know what to do.
