Chapter 132: Thrilling

Xiaoru sat in the living room. Holding the account book of the pharmacy in his hand, although his expression was not obvious, he was actually somewhat absent-minded.

The bookkeeper of the Loujia pharmacy in the capital is the old man under the old man of Gongsun - Ah Cheng, who is over fifty years old this year, and has been with the old man Gongsun for most of his life, and has always been loyal and diligent, so he naturally has the trust of the old man, otherwise, Gongsun Zhi would not have sent him out to help his disciple take care of business.

For such an old man, Xiaoru is very relieved, and he doesn't plan to review the account books often, under normal circumstances, just listen to the report, but Ah Cheng is very unaccustomed to Xiaoru's reassurance, every half month, he always has to sort out the account books and force Xiaoru to look at it.

Although the old bookkeeper was very studious, since he saw the account books that Moniel had made by herself. Enlightened, take the initiative to learn, and now the account books made are concise and clear, not at all as headache as the ordinary account books of this era, but Xiaoru still doesn't like to look at these boring things, there was no way when he was in Wuchang before, there were not many loyal talents in his hands, so he had to go into battle by himself, and now he can be lazy, and the old man has arranged it properly, why should he work hard?

Xiaoru didn't know that Acheng, who had followed Gongsun since he was a child, was so heartbroken in the face of her inaccessibility, as the wife of the house, even if she couldn't read the account book, she couldn't help but look at it, not only could she not look at it, even if she knew it in her heart, she still had to take a look at it regularly and ask some questions, which showed her control over the family, and she definitely didn't allow sloppiness, you know, it is impossible for every account room to be loyal to the master, even if you are lucky to find a loyal one. There is no guarantee that he will always be loyal, even if he has excellent character, there may be all kinds of accidents, for example, someone threatens, someone takes his shortcomings, and forces him to betray the master's family, all of which are not impossible to give birth, in this case, the master regularly inspects the industry, at least it can also play a warning role, besides, the family business is passed down from generation to generation, who doesn't want their family to last for thousands of generations, even if it is for future generations, you have to set the rules, and strictly follow the implementation.

Under the gritted gaze of the bookkeeper, Xiaoru divided five by two, and after reading the account book lively, he smiled and said, "Our business is good." It's hard work. ”

Ah Cheng is an orphan, no surname, in the National Teacher's Mansion, no matter who it is, up to Gongsun Zhi, Lou Yi, Ding Feng these masters, down to the rough maid who cleans the house, and the family Ding Nursing Courtyard, all call him by his name, Xiaoru naturally follows the customs, although he is still a little unaccustomed to it at first, after all, Ah Cheng is called this way, it is still a junior to be called, and it seems not very respectful to call the elders, but seeing that Ah Cheng likes people to call him so, it's just that, after calling it for a few days, now I don't feel inappropriate, but it seems close.

Ah Cheng glanced at Xiao Ru suspiciously, and didn't feel that she had read the account books seriously at all, but because their business was really okay and there were no problems, they didn't say anything.

The pharmacy in Xiaoru Lane has a better quality than other pharmacy, and it has characteristics, such as Yunnan Baiyao. Black chicken white phoenix pills, Huoxiang righteousness, peppermint cool oil, mosquito repellent ointment, etc., are very popular with the people, plus Xiaoru and other pharmacies in the capital The relationship is not bad, if there is a pharmacy that wants to act as an agent for Xiaoru's business, she will mostly give a good price, under normal circumstances, there is no reason not to agree, she does not do a unique business, does not block the way of people's money, although she earns less money, but also less trouble, such a pharmacy, it is indeed not necessary for Xiaoru to bother to take care of.

After sending off the account room, Xiao Ru breathed a sigh of relief, and told Meng Nier to prepare the car, planning to go out for a walk, Xiao Ru hadn't gone out for a while, and she was going to go to the palace to see Wang Meng in the afternoon. Na Nizi deliberately passed the word early this morning, saying that she wanted to eat the smoked rabbit and multigrain pancakes of the Four Seasons Fang, and she could buy a little by the way, everything in the palace was good, but the things were not very delicious, and I didn't know if the people in the imperial dining room were specifically unable to get along with Concubine Jing, anyway, Wang Meng would rather get a small kitchen by herself and cook for herself with her half-baked skills, rather than eat the meals prepared by the imperial dining room, but fortunately, Wang Meng still treated the dim sum in the palace very well. If you don't like to eat staple foods, you can chew snacks and not get hungry.

Xiaoru is also very puzzled, in fact, she has also eaten a banquet in the palace, and when the palace celebrates the New Year's Festival, there will also be a banquet to reward it, although the things are not particularly delicious, but they are not bad, I don't know why, it is not in line with Wang Mona Nizi's taste, just for this, there are rumors that have spread out of the palace gate - some say that someone in the palace wants to poison Concubine Jing Niangniang, so that Niangniang does not dare to eat; Some people also say that the king of Chu is so thin that the ladies in the palace are beginning to worry about their weight.

Xiao Ru really doesn't understand, how can such gossip be spread? The rules in the palace are also too disappointing, of course, it is possible that everyone knows that this rumor is just a joke, so no one bothered to stop it.

took Meng Nier, and by the way, brought the coquettish donkey, and Xiaoru took Jiang Tian's carriage out.

After a while, the carriage went on the official road, Xiao Ru leaned on a small cushion made of leather, and a small wooden table fixed in front of him was placed on paper and a charcoal pen, but this charcoal pen was not as simple as those used by Xiao Ru in Wuchang, the thin carbon strip was wrapped in a thin layer of wood coating, carved with some floral lines, which seemed to be for ease of holding, and was also wrapped with gold wire, and the head hung a pendant the size of a grain of rice, very round pearls.

Xiao Ru nailed some paper to the smooth wooden board and began to sketch and draw, she had long wanted to draw a mystery comic used to enlighten children, but although Xiao Ru had read a lot of detectives in the previous book, even the never-ending Detective Conan had read it many times. But after all, I haven't created anything by myself, this era is too different from the previous life, it is impossible to copy directly, plus her painting ability is really not strong, barely can only be regarded as a painting lover of the grade, now, I have to ponder while writing, so that the progress is very slow, really start creating, Xiaoru knows, I imagine in my mind and really do it, those are two completely different concepts, I want to put the things in my head, complete, truthfully drawn, it's too difficult, The things she writes are always quite different from what she has in her mind, so that she can only keep revising and correcting them, and the degree is even slower, and now, Xiaoru no longer wants to draw a complete comic story with lofty ambitions, as long as she draws a small reasoning question accurately, it is interesting, attractive, and can make people understand and see clearly, she is very satisfied.

Meng Nier watched from the side for a long time, she didn't know much about painting, but she also felt that although the characters painted by her master were very exaggerated, they were very beautiful and cute, and those tables and chairs, doors, windows and houses were also very realistic, so she didn't feel a little admired and a little envious.

Seeing that Meng Nier liked the appearance very much, Xiaoru was also happy in her heart, and casually stuffed the finished sketches to her, I believe that everyone who is engaged in creation, if someone is willing to appreciate their works, it is estimated that they will be very happy.

Suddenly there was a donkey cry outside the car, Xiao Ru was stunned, raised her eyebrows with a smile, poked her head out to see, her stubborn donkey was not far behind, and began to circle in place, but she refused to go forward.

"When you came out with you, you promised to be obedient." Xiaoru touched her chin, blinked, and smiled, "That's it...... Jiang Tian, let the reins of my stupid donkey run on its own. This guy thinks we're going too slowly. ”

Jiang Tian was stunned, "Young lady, this is not good, your donkey is very fast, our horses still have to pull the cart, and we can't catch up at all, what if we lose it?" ”

"It's okay, if you lose it, there will be one less person to eat at home. Anyway, this guy doesn't have much use except for eating or sleeping. Xiao Ru said with a smile.

The donkey only glanced at her, turned his head, and kicked his hooves, without saying a word. Seeing a donkey expressing a wordless protest there, Xiaoru was happy again, and motioned to Jiang Tian to let it go, and as soon as the donkey was free, it let out a long whistle like a flower, slipped away, and ran over the curve in the blink of an eye, and disappeared.

"Young Lady ......"

"Don't worry, if that guy gets hungry, he'll know he'll be home." Xiao Ru shook her head and lowered the curtain, "Let's keep going." ”

The carriage walked forward for a while, Xiao Ru was also tired of painting, so he threw down the pen, leaned on the leather cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate, suddenly, there was a sound of donkey barking in front of him, Xiao Ru opened his eyes suddenly, sat up straight, and his face was very relaxed and freehand, but also with three points of nervousness, so after a while, there were several donkey barks in front, followed by the sound of dense horses galloping: "Jiang Tian, pull aside and give way......

It's a pity that although Jiang Tian's kung fu is good, he stayed for a while, and when he heard the sound, he instinctively was stunned for a moment, just for a moment, on the bend in front of him, suddenly dusty and rushed out of a group of horses.

Jiang Tian was startled, hurriedly pulled the carriage to make way, his movements were very skillful, the horse pulled by Loufu was also a good horse, although he was a little panicked, but he was not at a loss, he was still able to drive the road before the arrival of the horses, he and Xiao Ru were just relieved, but they never thought that a woman in a fiery red hunting suit who was running in the front and riding a gray horse similar to most of the horses behind her, suddenly let go of the reins, a flutter, left her horse, and pounced into Xiao Ru's carriage……
