At this time, Wang Xi had already arrived at the pharmacy, but Dr. Feng was not in the shop.

She was disappointed and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you know where his old man has gone?" ”

The shopkeeper, who was over forty years old, bent down slightly, and said softly: "His old man didn't explain where he went." ”

"Do you know when you'll be back?" She asked again.

"I don't know." The shopkeeper was originally a servant of the Wang family, and was later rewarded to Dr. Feng by Wang Xi's grandfather, and became Dr. Feng's servant, Dr. Feng went out to travel, he became an entourage, and now Dr. Feng opened a pharmacy, he became the shopkeeper again, and Wang Xi is very familiar with the things in the pharmacy unless he gets Dr. Feng's special advice, otherwise he will not hide her, "Doctor Feng is not in the shop these days, ask him what the old man is doing, and he will not say." Fortunately, the little proprietor is in the shop these days, otherwise no one will give an idea to the person who comes to see a doctor. ”

The shopkeeper has served Dr. Feng for many years, and he also worked as a medicine boy for Dr. Feng in the early years, and it is not a problem to recognize a medicinal herb, but if he wants to take the pulse of a doctor, he is still a little timid in the capital of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger. However, Feng Gao is very talented, inherited Dr. Feng's medical skills, and has a bit of a taste that is better than blue, Mrs. Feng is old, she only sits in the hall and does not go to the clinic, and the affairs of the consultation are handed over to Feng Gao.

The last time Wang Xi came to the pharmacy, he didn't meet Feng Gao, he just went to the clinic.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was able to meet Feng Gao.

If you knew it, you should have asked someone in advance.

She said, "What about the little brother Gao? ”

The shopkeeper said: "Sort out the prescription in the back!" ”

There is a study at the back of the hall, which is full of cases and prescriptions. Behind the study is where the master and apprentices live in the shop.

The shopkeeper accompanied Wang Xi inside.

met Feng Gao, who had already received the letter.

He was tall and thin, wearing a beautiful blue muslin robe, and his delicate facial features did not speak with a little smile, giving people a sense of amiability.

"Little junior sister!" He jokingly called Wang Xi and said with a smile: "Why did you come here today?" The master is not here, but there is something urgent, can I help? After saying that, he added, "However, even if you don't come today, I will go to you in two days." ”

Wang Xi let out a "huh" and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Feng Gao glanced at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly retreated.

Feng Gao said: "You come with me." ”

Wang Xi and Feng Gao went to the study at the back of the hall.

The two sat down next to the big bookcase in the middle of the study, and Bai Guo helped the little maid serve refreshments to the two of them, retreated, and helped them close the door of the study and guard the door.

Feng Gao then said: "What happened to you when you came to the pharmacy that day, can you tell me?" ”

Wang Xi was a little surprised, thinking of the shopkeeper saying that Dr. Feng was not in the shop for the past few days, she suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly told Feng Gao everything that happened that day.

Feng Gao frowned when he heard this, and said: "Since you left, the master has been going out early and returning late for the past few days, I thought at first that the master was afraid of running into the second son and the second prince of the Chen family again, or to ask someone to help find out why they came to the master to see a doctor, who knew that I only found out when I asked yesterday that the master has been busy asking someone to help him ask Master Chaoyun of Dajue Temple to make potpourri these days, and he also took seven or eight boxes back in one go." This thing is a bit strange! ”

Wang Xi was stunned when he heard this.

At the beginning, Dr. Feng borrowed Wang Xi and Bai Zhi from her, and also asked them to go to Dajue Temple to buy two boxes of potpourri in her name and Chang Ke's name respectively.

It's a pity that whether she is pharmacology or perfumery, she only learned a half-tone from Dr. Feng.

Feng Gao is his true heir.

She has no problem distinguishing a fragrance, but she doesn't understand anything deeper.

"Does that make a difference?" Wang Xi asked cautiously.

Feng Gao said: "It stands to reason that his old man shouldn't be more worried about when the second prince and the second prince Chen will come over again?" ”

Wang Xi said: "Didn't Grandpa Feng say that Master Chaoyun's perfume blending technique is very similar to his?" ”

Feng Gao glanced at Wang Xi.

Wang Xi came back to his senses.

Oh, yes! Even if Chaoyun and Dr. Feng's perfume blending techniques are in the same vein, the most important thing at present is how to send Chen Luo and the second prince who came to the door. Doctor Feng put the investigation of Chaoyun's perfume technique in the first place, indicating that this matter is more important than the matter of Chen Luo and the second prince.

"Could it be that Chen Luo and the second prince are looking for Grandpa Feng and have something to do with that Chaoyun?" Wang Xi is imaginative.

Feng Gao sighed and said, "I knew that you would definitely say that if I asked you." I've checked, the second prince and the queen often go to Lingguang Temple to incense, and the emperor and the lady like to go to Dajue Temple, so the second prince is not familiar with the master of Dajue Temple, and this matter cannot be involved. ”

Wang Xi felt that it was precisely because everyone felt that these two things could not be confused, and it was possible that these two things were exactly the same thing.

She gave Feng Gao an idea: "Or, let's ask Grandpa Feng again?" ”

Feng Gao said helplessly: "I asked, but his old man has been perfunctory to me." There's nothing I can do about it, it's up to you to do it. ”

Wang Xi was eager to try.

But she waited until the end of the afternoon when Dr. Feng had not returned, and she called someone to go to Dajue Temple to look for it, but she didn't find it.

"Then I'll go back first." Wang Xi wilted, "Come back tomorrow!" ”

Feng Gao nodded and said apologetically: "You come over tomorrow, I will invite you to eat Dongfeng Lou's fried loud and first-class duck." ”

Dongfeng Tower is also a very famous restaurant in Beijing.

Wang Xi ate Huaiyang's famous dish boiled dried shreds, white-robe shrimp, and crab roe lion's head at the pharmacy today, and he was very satisfied.

"It's the beginning of summer, so it's not the time to eat ducks, right?" She hesitated.

Feng Gao said with a smile: "Their Yipin duck is roasted with fruit wood, not boiled in broth, and it is delicious all year round." ”

"Okay, okay!" She smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, and said, "I'll come over tomorrow morning after saying hello to Mrs. Tai." ”

That cute appearance made Feng Gao couldn't help but touch her head before sending her out of the pharmacy.

*

In the landlord's room of the Orchid Garden, where the second room of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion lives, the second wife is talking to her daughter Chang Yan.

"Did she say that?" The second wife still didn't believe that Chang Ning could be so stupid, "Could it be angry words?" ”

Chang Yan trembled with anger and circled around the room: "I don't care if what she says is angry or not, with her temperament, what can't she do?" When the eldest sister came out of the cabinet, if I hadn't watched it closely, wouldn't she almost take a bite of the apple sent by the eldest brother-in-law's family? ”

According to the rules of the capital, the girl's family is out of the cabinet, and the husband's family will let the boy who presses the sedan chair hold a vase and an apple with the sedan chair in order to ask for an auspicious peace.

The second wife shook her head and said, "This kid is also too tiger." Every time I think of some ideas, I kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and I don't know who she has with this temperament? ”

Chang Yan sneered and said, "I think it's all used to the eldest aunt." ”

She told the second wife what Chang Ning stabbed her today, and after speaking, she couldn't help crying aggrievedly, and said, "Am I not good to her?" Who doesn't want to marry a golden beetle son-in-law, not to mention that it's not someone she also fancies. Even if I had this thought, I didn't speak in private, nor did I communicate in private, and she didn't think about my feelings when she said that about me? ”

The second wife was furious, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled into a ball.

Chang Yan complained: "Why did the eldest aunt marry into our family? ”

There is no appearance of being a housewife.

The second wife smiled bitterly and said: "It's not your grandfather yet, I took a fancy to your eldest aunt's rich family, and thought that there would be more marriages, no matter what kind of character the girl's family is, and whether it is the eldest daughter-in-law or the second daughter-in-law, so I set this family business in a daze." Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh of emotion, "Speaking of which, your eldest aunt is also a hard-working person. Your grandfather later saw that her mother's family was down, and she didn't have so many marriages, so he wanted to get out of the marriage, and you think, is this something that ordinary people can do? ”

Chang Yan was taken aback.

It was the first time she had heard of it.

The second wife was very sympathetic to her sister-in-law, and her words were a little uncontrollable: "If it weren't for the fact that your eldest aunt's family is a scholar, and there are a few old friends who came out for her, your eldest aunt would have curled her hair and become a sister-in-law a long time ago." That's it, she was disgusted by your grandfather for several years when she got married. Fortunately, she is a blessing, first gave birth to two sons in a row, and finally caught your uncle, and then her mother's brother got up again, and your grandfather didn't say anything, so he gained a foothold in this family. But even so, your grandfather didn't take her seriously in those years, and she couldn't help but act a little cowardly. Don't blame her for not being able to control Ah Ning. ”

Then the second wife took Mrs. Hou as an example to educate her daughter: "So this girl either has the ability of her father and brother in the family, or she has the ability herself." The fourth son of Xie is good-looking, has a good character, and is well educated, and he really can't find fault with it, but the more this is the case, the more people will take a fancy to him, and our family is worse than your father who has no heir, which is also no way. In case it doesn't work, you must not put all your thoughts on him, people must learn to be content and happy! ”

Chang Yan's face was like a glow, she bowed her head suddenly, and said, "I, I know!" Then he worried: "In case, in case their family really takes a fancy to Wang Xi......"

The second wife raised her eyebrows and said sharply to her daughter: "Are all the men in this world dead?" Do you have to find a good time with your sister? ”

Chang Yan was ashamed and said, "I, I don't think Wang Xi is really my sister......

"So what?" The second wife said in a deep voice, "Although you didn't grow up together, as long as the sisters can help each other, why should they be so clear?" The emperor has not yet established a prince, and everyone guesses that he may not be very good at seeing the second prince. But the Qingyun Marquis Mansion has been a two-term uncle, and he is not a vegetarian. Who will be able to ascend to the throne then, and who will dare to pat their chests now? The Xiangyang Hou Mansion is much stronger than our family. No matter who marries into their family, they will not suffer too much. With such a sister, why don't you come and go often? ”

Chang Yan thought of Xie Feng's jade-like face, and was a little reluctant in the end, so she secretly gritted her teeth and pulled her mother's hand.

I knew that the second wife didn't understand her daughter's thoughts, her eyes were slightly dark, and she touched her daughter's long hair lovingly, and her voice couldn't help but soften: "I know." But the most important thing in the girl's family is the posture. Don't lose your posture just because you want to. ”

Chang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "I know." I'm not going to make people gossip. ”

"If you know, it's good." The second wife told her daughter again, "When you get married, half of the time is with your mother-in-law, and half of the time is with your children. ”
