Chapter 146: Nehmiah Charles
"Of course it's ordering, otherwise what can I ask you to do." Rita was a little speechless, it looks like she didn't do anything, right? Why is it like hell all around here? But fortunately, Rita herself doesn't care about these things, so it doesn't matter to her.
"I'm really sorry, but I've already used up all the remaining ingredients for today."
"Run out?" Rita raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Didn't you say that the ingredients were enough at the beginning?" ”
Rita's words made the man twitch the corners of his mouth unexpectedly, but he didn't refute anything, after all, the person in front of him did ask such a question, and his boss also patted his chest and promised that "the ingredients are enough", but who knew that these people would be able to eat so much, obviously there were only eight people, but they ate nearly twenty people. Especially the one in front of her, and another girl sitting with her, nearly a third of the food went into the stomachs of these two people, and now they still have to eat, I really don't know how that stomach grows.
From time to time, his eyes turned to the stacks of empty plates and empty wine glasses on the table, in fact, he had already removed a lot of them before, but he had saved so many in such a short period of time...... Perhaps sensing the resentment of the person in front of her, Rita glanced at the man's line of sight, and then changed her attitude in an instant, and while looking at the person again, she also had a slight embarrassing smile written on her face: "Forget it, since we don't have it, we can't force you, what, fox, hurry up and give the money!" ”
Originally, Navis was still sitting in the back, watching the play with a smile, but who knew that he suddenly heard such a sentence, and of course he also knew that Rita was using herself as a shield to relieve embarrassment, so it was not good to keep silent or tear down someone's platform now, otherwise Rita might not know how to toss him afterwards.
"You guys go first." After having a plan, Navis stood up, and he didn't even care about the waiter who was talking to Rita just now, and walked directly in the direction where he was sitting at the counter. As for the others who heard Navis's words, including Rita, they all ran out of the tavern without the slightest hesitation. Nonsense, if you don't run away, you still wait to continue to be watched? Although it was not the first time that Rita had experienced something similar, the others did not, and they had a princess, an earl, and an earl's daughter, and it was okay if they were not recognized.
After leaving the tavern, it didn't take long for Navis to catch up, and when the group returned to the palace, they saw Ronald standing at the gate of the palace talking to an old man.
"Isn't that Nehmiah Charles' old fellow? How did His Highness get involved with him? ”
A confused muttering came to her ears, and then Rita turned her head to look at Navis with some strange surprises: "That person...... Do you have a bad relationship? ”
"It's not that the relationship is bad, it's just that it's ......"
"Just?" Navis's tangled appearance fell into Rita's eyes, and at the same time made her doubts deeper, and just as she wanted to continue to ask about the situation, Bernice suddenly burst out from the side.
"I know~"
The sudden words made Rita directly turn the words she wanted to say in a circle around the corners of her mouth, and then stopped the urge to throw someone out of her shoulder, and then asked with a smile: "What?" ”
"Hehe, in fact, that old man is the chief physician and pharmacist in the palace." Bernice smiled triumphantly, but nothing more.
"Gone?"
"It's gone." As she spoke, Bernice nodded vigorously, but this behavior made the green tendons on Rita's forehead throb twice, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know why the flowers are so red?" ”
"Flowers? Why flowers? And why red? Aren't there other colors? Bernice tilted her head, not understanding what Rita meant.
"You guy......" Faintly, Rita seemed to hear the chord called "reason" in her head "chirp" breaking, and just as she wanted to find the big grinning guy next to her, she heard laughter from the other side.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back." Seeing Rita turn her head to look at herself, Naviston raised her hand to cover the corners of her mouth, of course, he was also confused when he first heard this sentence, but fortunately, Rita explained it later, so he naturally knew the meaning of this sentence at this time.
Rita glared at Navis directly, especially the twitching and constantly trembling shoulders made her so angry that she wanted to cut people, but she naturally just thought about such thoughts, after all, no matter what, people only invited her to dinner, and it was really a little inconsistent with her character to turn around and not recognize people or something: wait a minute, when you have the opportunity, you must find a sack to put this guy on and beat him.
Thinking like this, Rita's pace instantly accelerated, and Navis naturally didn't know what Rita was thinking at this time, after all, if he knew, he probably wouldn't have followed quickly while shaking his head, but silently stayed away.
"Hey! You ......" Bernice waved her hand, and just as she was about to catch up, she was grabbed by the corner of her clothes from behind, and she didn't even finish the words that came out of her mouth.
"Who's dragging ...... Sister Ye? Bernice turned her head and was about to get angry, when she saw the two of them standing behind her with a smile, and the words that came to her lips were instantly swallowed back by her.
"What's wrong with them?" Ye Lianli didn't care about someone's weak look, she just raised her eyes to look at the two people walking in front, and asked lightly.
"I don't know, it's like this all of a sudden." Bernice shook her head, also puzzled, if it wasn't for Ye Lianli suddenly dragging herself, she would probably have followed up a long time ago, and the meaning of the sentence just now...... "Why are the flowers so red", well, it's really a strange question.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a strange question came to mind."
"Strange question?" Ye Lianli was a little puzzled, but seemed to have noticed the interaction between the two, and the rest of the people who were still behind before came over at some point, and they all looked at Bernice with a curious expression.
"Actually......" For a while, Bernice didn't hide anything, and directly repeated what had been said between Navis and Rita, but everyone was confused when they heard it.
"She, remember what else Rita told you?" Ye Lianli asked.
"And me?" Bernice was slightly stunned, then frowned and thought for a moment before opening her mouth with some uncertainty, "She seems to have asked me 'Why are the flowers so red', well, that's it, Sister Ye, do you know what it means?" ”
"Huh? Sister Ye, what kind of expression do you have? Looking at the twitching corners of Ye Lianli's mouth, Bernice was a little puzzled, she didn't seem to have said anything wrong, right?
"Nothing? You'd better ask for more blessings! Ye Lianli patted Bernice on the shoulder, and then without saying anything more, she walked directly past her towards the gate of the palace: well, she was definitely not gloating, she just wanted to ask if her guess was right.
As for the other four people except Bernice, they also hurried after each other for a moment, leaving only Bernice with a bewildered face left behind: So...... Who's going to tell her what the hell it means?
Bernice's inner wail Rita didn't know, at this time she was standing at the door with Navis looking at the old man talking to Ronald, of course, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't have much reaction.
"Oh, you've come just in time, let me introduce you, this is the chief physician and physician of the Imperial Palace, Nehemiah Charles, whose medical skills and pharmaceutical skills are even inferior to Ye Lianli."
"Hahaha, that girl is still young, if she is as old as me, I am afraid that her achievements will be even higher than mine." Nehemiah laughed twice, then turned his gaze back to Rita.
"First meeting, Mr. Nehmiah Charles, I'm Rita Evel." Seeing Nehemiah looking at her, Rita bowed slightly to him first, in fact, Rita has always had a respectful attitude towards these doctors who saved people's lives, especially an old man like Nehemiah who was very easy to talk to at a glance, and the aura emanating from that surroundings made her very comfortable.
And Nehemiah did not disappoint Rita, and after seeing Rita's politeness, he also nodded with great satisfaction, after all, there are not many capable and sensible people in these years: "Miss Rita Evel, Your Royal Highness mentioned you to me just now, saying that you have helped him a lot. Well, I don't have anything good to give you here, so I'll take this as a greeting gift, I think it should be very useful for a mercenary like you. ”
As he spoke, Nehmiah took out a small glass bottle from his waist pocket, and the contents of the bottle, which Rita had also seen in the drugstore, were a good medicine for internal wounds. Although the effect on people in her system is far less than that of others, it is a heart of the person in front of him anyway, and this is very expensive outside, and sometimes it is not even possible to buy it if you have money, as for the number Rita glanced at it, five grains, not much, but if you consider its value, it is not less at all.
It's just that this behavior surprised the two people on the side, and the group of people who came over afterwards except Xiao Yueluo couldn't believe it. Because anyone who knows Nehmeyah Charles knows how strange this old man's temper is, and the reason why many people in the outside world know him is definitely not because of his medical skills and pharmaceutical ability, but because of his temper. As for how weird it is, no one can say for sure, but I don't know when it started to spread like this.
He doesn't accept apprentices, and he doesn't like to communicate with other doctors and pharmacists, and he treats patients all by looking at his eyes, and sometimes he ignores Elias's words...... However, no matter how many rumors there are, they can't change the fact that he has strong medical and pharmaceutical skills.
"Then I'll thank Mr. Charles." Rita reached out and took the small glass bottle, and at the same time, Nehemiah nodded with satisfaction on her cheeks, which did not show mood fluctuations: not arrogant, not impatient, very good.
