Chapter 44: Bag Drop

Zhu's pharmacy.

Li Hongru rushed back here after more than three hours.

When carrying Li Dan back, he couldn't run, and it would take time for the Ke family to retrieve the silver when he rubbed the medicine.

He came back relatively quickly.

It was past noon.

When Li Hongru entered the store, the pharmacist apprentice was eating with a bowl.

Several helpers were unloading the goods and moving some medicinal herbs collected from other places to the store.

And the pharmacist was ready to boil the medicine, and kept urging the apprentice.

Li Hongru glanced at it, and then opened the curtain of the inner hall.

"What about your shopkeeper?"

There was no strong man in the inner hall, and Li Hongru couldn't help but ask outside.

"It's lunch break, and he's out to eat."

The pharmacist apprentice muttered back, and when he heard the pharmacist urging again, he immediately put down the bowl and went to help choose the medicine and wash the medicine.

Li Hongru's hand was raised slightly, and he could see that the time on the simple card was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

It's not a good time to eat.

Thinking that the busy time of the pharmacy might be a little different from that of the cloth shop, he was patient.

After waiting for nearly an hour, I saw the sturdy man walking in from outside the store with a pair of iron gall health balls.

"Shopkeeper."

Li Hongru hugged his palms and saluted.

"It turned out to be you, and you must have waited some time to look at you."

"If I bought the medicine and wine from you, I must return the silver taels as soon as possible, and I may have some needs in the future, and I will have to take care of the shopkeeper at that time."

Li Hongru said it very politely.

Chu's Pharmacy is a pharmacy located closer to Bowang Street.

If you need it for cultivation in the future, there is a high probability that you will have to go to this store to buy it.

Business has to buy and sell, and harmony can make money, and he is also kind at this time.

"Well said!"

The sturdy man nodded, and then raised his hand to signal Li Hongru to enter.

"I don't know where the guests are?" The sturdy man asked from the front.

"I'm just a student at the Simen Pavilion," Li Hongru replied.

At this time, he had not yet apprenticed, and Taixue had not entered, so Li Hongru had to bring out the name of the Simen Pavilion.

"The Four Doors Pavilion is amazing, all of them are talents, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future," the sturdy man boasted.

He carefully put the two health balls back on the table, and when he casually praised them, he was also relieved.

During his investigation, the information he learned was consistent with Li Hongru's oral statement.

Even more detailed than he knew.

He not only found out the details of Li Hongru, but also the details of the Li family.

Well-off people.

No big backstage.

Li Hongru was selected by poetry to study in the Four Gates.

Of course, the results are not bad.

The Simen Pavilion has been tested every year, and Li Hongru's name has always been mixed in the midstream.

In his experience, it is difficult for this kind of goods to have room for advancement, even if he completes his studies in the Four Gate Pavilion, he will probably be transferred to a certain city to become a clerk.

wants to wait until Li Hongru is promoted, and it will take a long time.

And the upside of this kind of person is also limited, and the official rank is difficult to be higher than the eighth grade.

Even if he suffered a loss, it could be regarded as a dumb loss, and it was difficult to compete with the Zhu family, so he had to swallow it in the end.

"Thank you!" Li Hongru replied.

He took out the silver taels from the cloth bag, and keenly noticed that the strong man's nostrils sniffed slightly.

It was probably the smell of the blood of the butcher's side.

"Put the silver here, I'll get you the collateral."

He gestured to the small scale beside him.

This small scale can weigh the medicine and also weigh the amount of broken silver.

Li Hongru nodded, and kept adding broken silver to the small scale, and only stopped when 2.2 taels exceeded the line.

There is not much left in the cloth bag, and it is also the Li family's liquidity at this time.

This made his brow furrow slightly.

"Your collateral!"

By the time he had finished putting away the broken silver, the sturdy man had already opened a locked drawer and taken Nayu out.

"This jade is precious, please put it away!"

He laughed, then glanced at the broken silver in the weighing pan, nodded, and went to play with the two iron gall health balls.

Li Hongru took Nayu back, looked at it a little, and tied it back to his waist.

He hugged his palms, and then walked out of the inner hall.

"Ten taels of silver for hundreds of taels of gold, this business is hard to get."

Seeing Li Hongru walking out of the inner hall, and seeing Li Hongru walking away from behind the curtain, the sturdy man muttered softly.

He dug into his pocket and took out another Nayu.

This jade is consistent with the shape of the jade that Fang gave to Li Hongru.

He put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, and then carefully put it away.

Treasures are rare.

A treasure is a kind of heritage, which can be exchanged when necessary, and can be exchanged for something of great value even in ordinary times.

He was overjoyed, but he suppressed the expression on his face.

After rubbing the health ball for a while, I calmed down.

"Keep your mouth shut about today's events, don't go around talking nonsense."

A deep voice came down from within.

He thought about it, his face couldn't help but change for a while, and his hands holding the health ball squeezed slightly.

He was really relieved of Li Hongru.

The other party is just a civilian student of the Simen Pavilion, which is difficult to turn over.

But if there is an accident, it has to be prevented.

On the other side, Li Hongru kept pacing, and then rushed home.

The rest of the time is not long.

In addition to taking care of his eldest brother Li Dan, he also needs to clean up and prepare for apprenticeship two days later.

Although Wang Fuchou has advice, the apprenticeship does have some shortcomings.

He thought about it for a while before he made up his mind.

"Big brother, I'm going to apprentice the day after tomorrow, and you can go with me when you arrive."

"Me?"

After swallowing the medicinal wine and wiping many parts of his body, Li Dan no longer looked like a dead dog at this time.

The pain in the muscles and flesh is slowly subsiding.

But it was difficult for him to practice martial arts for several days.

Li Hongru couldn't help but want to take Li Dan around to see if he could increase some knowledge.

If there is a little chance, it is better than practicing swords in the Zhu Sword Hall.

"Your second brother worshipped a big official in the imperial court as a teacher, and our family will have a backer in the future," Li Baoguo said happily.

"That's Dr. Wang, who manages the entire Four Gate Pavilion, if you go with your brother, don't be abrupt, you need to be polite."

Hakka added.

The eldest son was almost scrapped, but the younger son finally took off.

No matter how difficult it is, it only needs to survive the next few years.

In the past, Li Hongru may only be able to go to other places to be a small clerk, but with Wang Fuchou under his cover, he will definitely be able to find a position to make a living in Chang'an City in the future.

If he has a future, he may be able to become a big official of the court.

Li Baoguo and the Ke family were full of joy, and they only felt that if there was such a future, this cloth shop would not be opened.

As for Li Dan, he will follow his younger brother when the time comes, and he will not suffer any loss.

They had a mind, and at this time they also began to lobby Li Dan.

At this time, everyone did not match the words before and after, and it was difficult to be coherent, and Li Dan was a little confused when he heard it, not knowing what the situation was in the past few days.

Obviously, Li Hongru took the Bigu Pill and was cultivating, why did he suddenly worship a big official as a teacher.

But no matter what, Li Dan understood a little.

His second brother hugged his thigh, and the Li family may be about to develop.
