Chapter 37: Small Talk

Hearing this, Qi Long suddenly remembered something.

asked Lu Huan'er: "Do you want to know what happened to Shopkeeper Tong and Liu Er?" ”

Lu Huan'er's curiosity aroused: "It's been a while since they left, how does the prince know about them?" ”

Qi Long shook his head: "How do you know that you are doing things so neatly, cleaning up the two of them thoroughly, when you first took over the Materia Medica, I was afraid that you would be in trouble, so I secretly asked Xiao Bei to check them!" ”

Lu Huan'er's heart is warm, and she has someone behind her to protect her, which may be this feeling.

"Lord Wang, what's the matter with those two people?"

"Shopkeeper Tong has been in this cottage for many years, and he did his duty before. Liu Er is the cousin of Zhao Yi, a medical and imperial businessman! You don't know, do you? ”

Qi Long looked at Lu Huan'er after speaking, Lu Huan'er shook his head, he really didn't know.

"After Liu Er came, he and the shopkeeper Tong made fake account books, and your cottage was taken care of by Li Yu's mother before, and he only collected the cash every month, and he didn't pay special attention to it."

Qi Long said as he handed Lu Huan'er a cup of flower tea!

Lu Huan'er took it, and Qi Long continued:

"The negligence of the proprietor allowed the two people to take advantage of the loophole, and the herbs were taken from the medical hall, and the inferior ones were picked up, but they wrote that they purchased at a high price, and when they sold them, they falsely reported the price, and the two people deducted a lot of silver in recent years."

Lu Huan'er didn't know that there were so many twists and turns:

"No wonder I asked Liu Er to bring a pharmacist to see me, and he never showed up again!"

"So the medical union hall is the emperor's businessman's business, and the emperor is taking the profits, and it is not so hanging on the surface to help the world?" Lu Huan'er asked.

"Zhao Yi is a businessman, and businessmen naturally put interests first." Qi Long took a sip of tea and said.

"I received an invitation, and in a few days, the Beijing Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce will have a party before the Shangyuan Festival, and I can meet him then."

When Qi Long heard about the Shangyuan Festival, he said, "The curfew will be stopped on the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, and I will take you on a cruise to play." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Nan brought in dinner.

Lu Huan'er saw that it was lean porridge, stir-fried asparagus, steamed tofu, and a plate of crystal elbows!

"Lord Wang, the dishes in the house suit my taste!"

"Then marry me!" Qi Long said suddenly.

Xiao Nan heard that he shut up and stole fun.

Qi Long looked at Lu Huan'er and said seriously:

"After the New Year, I'm 14 years old, and I'll go to Lufu to propose marriage when the year after tomorrow!"

Lu Huan'er nodded, this is too embarrassing!

Xiao Nan withdrew, and the two of them chatted while eating, and the room was warm!

Xiao Bei took Qi Long's instructions and found Han Ren's address the next day.

Qi Long was not worried that Lu Huan'er would go looking for someone alone, so he took Xiao Bei with him in the evening.

Approaching a house with blue bricks and white tiles, I saw an old man in the yard cleaning up herbs to dry.

Lu Huan'er saw that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, a white beard, and a radiant face.

Han Ren saw two good-looking young men and girls, and hurriedly came out to greet them, and looked at them fixedly, but it was not Prince Qi?

Han Ren hurriedly saluted: "I don't know that Prince Qi is coming, and I will miss the welcome!" ”

Qi Long saw that Han Ren knew himself: "Old man don't have to be polite, it's this girl who is looking for you on purpose!" ”

Han Ren looked at Lu Huan'er and was surprised: "The two of you, please, the humble house is simple, please don't dislike it." ”

Lu Huan'er and Qi Long sat down and looked around the room, there were many medicinal herbs neatly arranged in an orderly manner, and the room was also filled with a fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Lu Huan'er said: "Han Yaoshi, I am the little proprietor of the Materia Medica, I know that you are an expert in this area, and I want to invite you to our Materia Medica, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Han Ren hurriedly shirked: "How can the old body be competent, don't dare to be, Miss Lu!" ”

Qi Long saw that he seemed to have something unspeakable, so he said: "This Lu girl's Materia Medica Hall is also the King's Materia Medica, and Han Yaoshi regards it as the king's place, and no one will embarrass you!" ”

Han Ren said with a dry smile: "The old body used to be in the Medical Cooperative Hall, but then he left for some reasons, and after that, he only wanted to sell common herbs, and didn't want to do anything else!" ”

Lu Huan'er saw that he was cramped, so he said: "Now that the Shangyuan Festival is approaching, I will accept all your medicinal materials, here is a deposit of five taels of silver, and when these medicinal materials are processed, the Korean pharmacist will send them to the Materia Medica Hall on Fuguo Street, how about it?" ”

"Ah, there are too many, too many, they are all ordinary medicinal materials, and they don't need so much silver!"

After speaking, Han Ren pushed the silver to Lu Huan'er again.

Lu Huan'er said with a smile: "You will know when you go to the Materia Medica, they are all young boys and girls, and they are in need of seniors like Han Yaoshi." As long as the Korean medicine master does not dislike it, Honchodo is welcome to join at any time. ”

Han Ren had a good impression of Lu Huan'er, and Prince Qi came over in person, so he thought about going to see it one day!

On the way back, Lu Huan'er asked Qi Long: "Lord Wang, don't you think Han Yaoshi is weird?" ”

"Well, it seems that there is something unspeakable, why did he leave the Medical Cooperative Hall?" Qi Long asked

"Sister Li doesn't know, she just left suddenly!"

"I asked Xiao Dong to check, the first drill of the Yulin Army in the past few days, I may return to the house later, if Xiao Dong has news, let him tell you as soon as possible."

Han Ren secretly went to the Materia Medica Hall a few times, and saw that there were still many patients coming in and out, and the guys were also polite to people, and the busy figures of several girls made the Materia Medica Hall full of vitality.

He took the ordinary prescription he wrote and went over to grab the medicine, and the guy could also mix it accurately, and the herbs were also in good condition, which made Han Ren have a good impression of Lu Huan'er.

She is a girl with real feelings!

At that time, he still held the five taels of silver given by Lu Huan'er in his pocket, and he was heavy.

Think about it.

On this day, Han Ren took the dried herbs, put five taels of silver in the package, and put them on the counter to hand them to Bai Jue.

"My name is Han Ren, thanks to Miss Lu's dislike, I will come to the Materia Medica to help tomorrow, I hope to get along with everyone!"

Bai Jue was not familiar with Han Ren, but he had seen him in the Medical Hetang before, and when he learned that Han Ren had come to the Materia Medica, he was naturally very welcome.

The good news of Han Ren's coming to the Materia Medica Hall soon let Lu Huan'er know, and at the same time, Xiao Dong also told Lu Huan'er the rumors that Han Ren had left the Medical Cooperative Hall:

Yihetang once fell into a counterfeit medicine turmoil, although the emperor finally came forward to suppress it, but shoddy is certain.

Han Ren was the head of the Medicine Hall at the time of the fake medicine turmoil, and it seems unlikely to say that it has nothing to do with him, but from then on, he is a stranger to the Medical Hetang, which is really incomprehensible.

With the influence of Zhao Yi in the herbal medicine industry in the capital, he was hostile to him, and the Korean pharmacist could not gain a foothold in the capital at all.

Xiao Dong's words made Lu Huan'er even more puzzled, if Han Ren and Zhao Yi were in the same stream, they should be more respected, why did they draw a line with Yihetang?

Lu Huan'er couldn't understand that Han Ren behaved steadily, spoke modestly, and had the immortal spirit of an old pharmacist, would he be a hypocritical villain?

Lu Huan'er doesn't believe it, it's still a long time before she sees people's hearts!

Lu Huan'er received an official invitation from the Pharmaceutical Alliance two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and as the youngest and most popular little boss in the capital, of course, she was in the invitation ranks.

What will the Pharmaceutical Alliance do? As the name suggests, it is the large and small pharmaceutical merchants in the capital who unite around Zhao Yi to study and release various systems in the capital, and the interests are both mutually restrained and allied.

It just so happened that Lu Huan'er also wanted to meet Zhao Yi, after all, he had pit a lot of money in the Materia Medica before, and now he was doing business under the noses of others.

Lu Huan'er only took Chunxiang with her, and the two of them arrived at Ruixiang Building at the appointed time.

Today, Ruixianglou has been dressed up for the Shangyuan Festival, and it is jubilant!
