Chapter Forty-Nine: The Old Naughty Boy of the Pharmacology Pavilion
Seeing his mother's reaction, Mu Guishan subconsciously looked at Mu Qingge, "Mother, who killed you last night?" Is someone pretending to be a ghost? β
Hearing this question, Liu Xiang's emotions suddenly collapsed, and he howled loudly, "It's a ghost!" It's a ghost! The devil is going to kill me! β
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I'm here." Mu Qingshan hurriedly frowned and comforted.
Several blood holes on Liu Xiang's body, he also saw it when the doctor saw a doctor yesterday, it was simply shocking, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
The long and sharp wooden thorn pierced Liu Xiang's body directly, and at first glance, it must be man-made, and the person who did it was ruthless! Who is it? Has he offended anyone recently?
The tea party at Miaoyuhua Restaurant was also Aunt Song, Aunt Su and Aunt Cheng, which was said to be because Liu Xiang left the scene early......
Thinking of this question, Mu Qingshan only felt a pain in his brain for a while, and simply looked at Mu Qingge, ready to sprinkle his anger on Mu Qingge, "Tell me!" Yesterday the carriage was robbed and torn apart, and your third and fourth sisters watched you be robbed! How did you come back unharmed? β
Mu Qingshan looked at Mu Qingge, his eyes were full of anger, Mu Qingge suddenly felt a little mocking, and laughed uncontrollably, "Daddy, is it my daughter's mistake, is it wrong to escape death from the hands of traitors?" Should your daughter be skinned by that bad guy and disappear into your world forever? β
"Presumptuous!" Mu Qingshan gave Mu Qingge a cruel slap in the face, which was extremely loud. It was the first time that his thoughts had been said so openly, and he was a little flustered for a moment.
Mu Qingshan's slap was a little strong, and half of Mu Qingge's face was a little hot and painful, but there was no crying at all, and there was not even a layer of mist in his eyes.
Mu Qingshan's slap was so strong that it was enough to knock down any delicate little girl.
On the other hand, Mu Qingge was very calm, as if there were roots under his feet, and he couldn't move.
She looked straight at Mu Qingshan, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were empty, without a trace of emotion.
Mu Qingshan was furious by this look, and when he reacted, he also found that his actions were a little excessive, and coughed dryly, "It's not that I'm afraid that you will be kidnapped by someone with ill intentions, and it's not good to ruin your reputation." β
"Yes, Sister Yudan didn't come back overnight, and I don't know what happened." Mu Qingge casually answered such a sentence, and there was something wrong in everyone's hearts.
Mu Qingshan, who originally wanted to take advantage of this matter, was also in a mess at the moment. Dan'er didn't return all night, and the news of this matter would definitely affect her reputation.
"No, no, don't talk nonsense! Dan'er is not missing! She just went somewhere and didn't tell us. Mu Qingshan's eyes were a little dazed, and then he came back to his senses and looked at Mu Qingge angrily.
This is the gap between the two daughters in his heart, these two completely different reactions, as if Mu Qingge has committed some heinous mistake.
Mu Qingge didn't want to see the ugly corners of Mu Qingshan's mouth again, so he just made a symbolic salute and left.
From the beginning, she came over, just to see how Liu Xiang was doing, and the taste of six wooden thorns piercing the bloody holes on her body must not be comfortable!
Mu Qingge finally glanced at Liu Xiang again, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a strange arc under her frightened gaze.
Mu Guishan didn't speak during the whole process, but he just looked like he had something on his mind, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Mu Qingge.
Everyone withdrew from Xiangxiang Pavilion, and the girls who served Liu Xiang surrounded them one after another, and for a while, the women's screams came one after another, resounding throughout Mu Hou Mansion, and the elegance of Liu Xiang Mu Mansion's mother disappeared for a while.
Gele Zhai, Mu Qingge used a homemade simple wooden shovel to dig out a ball of white powder from the medicine mortar in the back room, put it on the medicine leaves, and formed small medicine balls.
Finally, he tied it with a string made of coarse fibers extracted from the roots of the plant, put it in a purse, and then walked out of the fence of the Clarion House with his belongings.
She wore only a very common and simple light gray linen dress, and a white curtain on her head to cover her face.
looks like an ordinary woman, and she can't attract the attention of others at all.
Mu Qingge felt that if the ancient official lady wanted to sneak out of the house, she didn't have to dress up as a man, and she would deliberately behave like that, but it would give people a weird feeling, which would only make people feel awkward and then suspicious.
It is very convenient to take off the gorgeous clothes on your body like this and pretend to be an ordinary woman.
"Xiao Er, it's still the medicine from last time!" Mu Qingge stepped into a pharmacy, his voice slightly rough.
The pharmacy is located in a very inconspicuous corner of the capital, and the plaque is made of fine sycamore wood, which is elegantly engraved with several traditional Chinese characters in vermilion ink, "Pharmacology Pavilion".
Although this medicine shop looks extremely ordinary and can deceive civilians, it can't deceive Mu Qingge.
The beams and counters are made of good materials, and some of the tools needed for pharmacology are also low-key and luxurious.
Xiao Er, who was fiddling with the medicine scales at the counter, saw Mu Qingge, his eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly called the doctor in the middle of the room excitedly, "Master, Master, Miss Chu is here again!" β
"Really? That's great......" With the old man's voice trembling with excitement and vicissitudes, an old man in a gray robe, a shabby square hat on his head, and a few herbs in his hand walked out of it.
With white hair and square face, he looks very happy.
His eyes narrowed and narrowed, and he took a few steps closer, and after seeing clearly the green pills that Mu Qingge put on the counter, he looked up at Mu Qingge with a smile, and was very satisfied.
"Girl, make a price! This strange pill is very effective, much better than any herb that my old man has made. The old man shook his head and was full of praise, his eyes kept lingering on the medicine, and his eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed.
Before Mu Qingge could speak, the old man seemed to have remembered something, looked at Mu Qingge, and his tone was a little cautious and full of hope, "I don't know who my father is?" It is possible to develop such a wonderful drug. β
"It's just a hermit of the Jianghu Medicine Sect, since my father insists on going into seclusion and living a poor and ordinary life, I don't want anyone to disturb him anymore. This medicine was secretly sold by me because I saw that my family really couldn't open the pot, and if my father found out, I would definitely not have good fruit to eat. β
Mu Qingge said in a slightly rough voice, and gasped a few times, sounding naΓ―ve and cute, and he looked like a timid honest man.
As soon as the old man heard this, his heart immediately understood, so he didn't ask too much, just turned around, waved his sleeves, and said very heartily, "In this way, this medicine is really a rare artifact in the world, I will give you nine thousand nine hundred taels first, and in the future, can you steal some for me every month?" Calculated at 200 taels each? β
The old man stroked the white beard on his chin, and looked at Mu Qingge with bright eyes, with shrewdness and wisdom that could not be concealed at the bottom of his eyes, as if he had already seen through Mu Qingge.
Such a sky-high price? How many people can say no? Normally, twenty taels a month can be regarded as a wealthy family in the village, but the woman was very calm when she heard this price, and there was no wave.
Through the corner of the veil, there is a faint look of serious thinking about whether the deal is a good deal.
When the old man saw this, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he looked like an old naughty boy completely.
As for the hermit of the medicine gate? He is the Great Elder of the First Medicine Sect of the Heavenly Holy Dynasty, and what other master can hide it under his nose?
The only explanation is that the medicine came from this woman, and this behavior is obviously not wanting to reveal her identity.
The old man's words were a little funny, and Mu Qingge heard the sentence heavily, "Steal some for me every month." His eyebrows skipped a beat.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingge finally spoke, and his voice was still in that simple tone, but his words were very shrewd, "I don't want nine thousand nine hundred taels, this medicine is still two hundred taels per pill, and in the future, this pharmacological pavilion will get every month, no matter how much, can I divide eight or nine out of ten?" β
The old man was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Mu Qingge, and said in his heart This woman is really ruthless, does she know how much silver he can make in this pharmacology pavilion every month? How dare such a lion open his mouth?
The old man frowned, glanced at his mouth, and lingered a few more glances at the medicine on the table, looking tangled and uncomfortable, but at the most he still said heartily, "Okay!" But there is one condition! If you have any new formulas of medicine in the future, you must transfer it here as soon as possible, and you are not allowed to find a second one! We can set the price again, like this time, try the drug first, and then set the price. β
"Master! Two...... The second son doesn't know yet. Hearing this decision, Xiao Er on the side hurriedly reminded him.
I saw that the old man's eyebrows were crossed, his mouth was pursed, and his tone was a little dissatisfied but extremely naughty, "Who has the final say in this pharmacology pavilion?" That little bunny asked me to chase him every time to feed medics! I haven't settled accounts with him about that last time! β
"Yes, yes." Xiao Er hurriedly lowered his head, peeked at the old man a few more times, and didn't dare to make a sound.
The old man glared at Xiao Er, and when he quieted down, he immediately looked at Mu Qingge with a smile, turning his face faster than turning a book, and with a smile on his face, like a wolf grandmother, "Girl, do you think this condition is acceptable?" β
"Yes." Mu Qingge hooked his lips, spoke out without thinking, took out a pack of green pills containing lotus leaves from his purse, sorted out the fifty pills on the table, and handed them all to the old man.
The old man's eyes immediately lit up, and he picked up the lotus leaf and muttered into the back room, as if he had forgotten that he had bought it at a sky-high price.
One hundred, one two hundred taels, Mu Qingge carefully stuffed the stack of silver tickets with a denomination of two thousand taels into his purse, and only took some broken silver that the old man wanted, intending to go to see Qingyue.
