Chapter 169: The Girl Sells Aphrodisiacs

Meng Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the Dao Chief laughing at?" Isn't it funny that I gave my fiancΓ©e a copy of my family's motto? ”

"I'm sorry," Bai Yangbai grinned, "but I suddenly thought of a joke I heard yesterday." ”

Meng Xuan just wanted to say something more, He Angelica made a silent gesture, pointed to the artemisia grass in the distance and let them listen, as Meng Xuan said just now, there were a lot of footsteps, this time even Bai Yangbai, who had the worst ear power, heard it. Bai Yangbai smiled: "It turns out that there is a group of people who watch the play like us, I don't know who it is, let's go and take a look." He Angelica said, "I want to go to you", Bai Yangbai ran away, Meng Xuan paused and said: "Strange, I heard that there is only one person alive over there, and the rest of those who don't know what it is, only walk without panting, Bai Yangbai will not be in danger in the past." ”

He Angelica couldn't help but shudder, and glanced at Meng Xuan: "What are you talking about, what danger can there be in the academy, tigers and leopards Bai Yangbai can also fight, what is 'only walking without panting', ghosts?" In the middle of the night, I listened to strange people. ”

Meng Xuan couldn't lose his arms and hugged her into his arms, and said with a smile: "It's good if he can't come back, Xiaoyi, you can go back to the suburban courtyard with me, I have a good thing for you to see, I promise you like it." ”

"What's that?" He Angelica asked with a lack of interest.

Meng Xuan took away the camellia on her hairpin, put it in her sleeve, and picked two or three unknown small wildflowers from the ground for her to re-hairpin, and said: "You'll know when you go, don't you mean that as long as you go to tell Mrs. Luo for leave, and say that you go to play with Liao Qing'er, you can spend the night outside casually?" I promise, you'll feel like it's worth it, and it's better to hit the day than tonight! ”

"Is the academy haunted tonight?" In the distance, there were dozens of male and female students' voices, "Qian Peony drowned and didn't die, but he was poisoned by a strange poison, this is terrible enough, why did the knife that was fast suddenly turn into a pile of scrap iron!" Did you let the thunder strike? ”

Yitong was fifty percent sure that this was a good thing that his son-in-law had done, and when he saw a marble on the ground that had not been completely broken, he was almost completely sure that it was the son's secret blocking of the peony, although he didn't know why, he still quietly stepped the marble into the dirt, and hid a few large pieces of marble wreckage in the same way.

At this time, Qian Peony no longer sat up and lay back as suddenly as before, and no longer made a frightening strange sound, she lay on the ground panting with her eyes wide open, her feet unconsciously kicking on the grass, as if she was in endless pain, but she lost the appearance of her vocal organs.

Her father, Qian Xian, was heartbroken and asked sharply, "Where is Lang Zhong?!" Whoever has a knife, any knife, let me cut it! ”

Everyone looked at each other on the slightly scorched ground, but no one came out to offer a knife, Mr. Bao hurriedly asked Yitong: "Why hasn't Meng Gongzi come back to the east toilet yet?" Yitong said: "I forgot to say it carelessly just now, my son-in-law vaguely said that everything he can do has been done, and then he has to cut off his hands as soon as possible, and they ...... Well, he had other things to do, so he left first. Mr. Bao asked Li Langzhong's whereabouts again, and Yitong couldn't help.

Zhan Yu Kuai, Han Fang, Guan Mo and the others studied the broken iron pieces on the ground, and whispered something together, and then, Zhan Yu Kuai suddenly lifted his breath, his feet were less than half an inch above the ground, stepped on the grass on the lawn, and ran away quickly. Yitong was anxious in his eyes, where was he hiding, why didn't he show up, why did he throw a hidden weapon to destroy the knife?

Meng Xuan, who was hiding in the bamboo forest, hugged the beauty, sniffed her fragrance, and sighed: "Well, the night of the heavenly steps is as cold as water, lying down and watching the morning glory Vega, girl, are you cold?" ”

He Angelica broke out of Meng Xuan's arms, and asked suspiciously: "What do you do when you take the flowers on my head and put them in your sleeves, there are so many camellias in this season." And Meng Xuan, listen well, in the future, no matter in front of people or behind people, you are not allowed to hug me anymore, we are not children now, and when I was a child, you and I also hugged me a few times for the sake of passing on the gong. ”

"I just like to collect things that have to do with you, who told you never to give me a gift." Meng Xuan went to He Angelica's sleeve to rummage through things, turned over the four puppets, picked them up and looked at them one by one, "Duan Xiaolou, Gao Jue, Lu Jiangbei, Liao Zhiyuan, they are quite godlike, who made it?" I also want to order two of our puppets...... In fact, there are many postures for transmitting gong, and you don't have to hug each other to directly transport true qi into the dantian. When I take away your true qi, I hug you for convenience, so that I can comb my true qi with less effort; However, when I passed back to you the true qi, I could have passed it on to you with my palm on your lower abdomen, but at that time I was no longer the same to you, and I thought that the transmission was too far away from you, so I deliberately wanted to hold you. Saying that, he flattened Duan Xiaolou's puppet, "By the way, clean up the smell that Duan Xiaolou left on you during the day, why do you always let him hold you?" ”

He Angelica took back the four little puppets one by one and said, "This is Qing'er's thing, you saw her take it out of her purse and let everyone check it, so these can't be given to you." Back then, I talked to Duan Gongzi about marriage, and Duan Gongzi handed my mother a letter of appointment, and my mother also sent me back my birthday post, asking him to wait two years before officially hiring, so I naturally treated him differently. However, how could we have hugged each other every day as you said, he has only hugged me three times, and it was all for a reason, and he was by no means deliberately taking advantage of me. ”

Meng Xuan took off the purse around her waist and said sourly, "We? It's so intimate. Three times? I remember it vividly. I heard that he married Guan Yun, but he didn't marry each other for a long time, and dragged the other party into a twenty-year-old woman, and let her live in Liao Mansion in the capital and learn the tea art course over and over again. Girl, are you still thinking about Duan Xiaolou now? Meng Xuan opened her purse, pulled out a small fan pendant from a handful of broken silver, and unceremoniously hung it on her white jade pinched silver silk belt.

"What are you hanging around with the surname Meng? This is a fan pendant, not a jade pendant! He Angelica went to grab it again, and said angrily, "And this is not my thing, this is my second cousin's thing, and I broke some of it, so I plan to help him repair it or buy a similar style, look, it's a little broken here." Duan Gongzi is a person who values love and righteousness, he will definitely be very good to Miss Guan, don't worry about other people's salty radishes, why are you suddenly robbing me of things, you robber! ”

Meng Xuan said unhappily: "You have never given me the same love token, now that you have agreed to get married, I am afraid that you will repay the debt in the future, so I ......" said and went to her head to find a "token", but there was only a pale pink butterfly-shaped hair ornament similar to a beaded flower on her head, not even a small hosta, the butterfly hair ornament was fixed very firmly, and if it was hard to rip, it would mess up her hair.

He Angelica covered his hair bun to avoid it, frowned and shouted: "Take the claws farther away, don't look for it, this butterfly can't be given to you, this is the new pearl flower from her hometown that Qing'er taught me to weave, I did it for two days to make it, my eyes are sour, today is only the first day to wear it, you can't wear it on your head if you leave." And when did I get married, and I haven't finished saying that......"

"How can this be true? The Luo family actually treated you so harshly, they didn't even buy you hairpins, and even the beaded flowers had to be made by yourself," Meng Xuan said indignantly, "The three sisters in my family have so many jewelry that they have to use big wooden boxes to hold them, since you are living so hard in the Luo family, what else is there to say, get married!" ”

He Angelica shook his head solemnly and said, "No! To tell you the truth, I have a big revenge to avenge, before my wish is fulfilled, I can't escape into the empty door, and I am now doing business with Qing'er, and I have opened Quanjitang and Yihong Courtyard, I am richer than you, and I am too heavy not to wear a hairpin. ”

"What hatred? You married me, you have something to do for your husband, you don't have to worry about those things anymore, just write down the name of the enemy and how to deal with it," Meng Xuan went to grab her hand, but she avoided it, Meng Xuan frowned and said, "Girl, how can Yihong Courtyard be a place for your daughter's house, let alone being the boss, you should go around everywhere you go!" I've heard that not only can you find the Qinglou woman there, but you can also find ...... The man who sold his body? You'd better stay away, and I don't want to repeat that a second time. And that Quanjitang, isn't it the medicine hall that specializes in treating men's impotence? Have you seen those men sick? ”

He Angelica looked Meng Xuan up and down in surprise: "How can you understand so clearly, little master, could it be that you are also deeply troubled by this disease?" "No wonder...... In his last life, he lived to the age of nineteen without getting married or touching a woman.

Meng Xuan was angry and funny: "Mo Hun said, my son is in good health, I learned about this through other channels, girl, tell me, why do you want to do this business, are you very short of money?" Hurry up and get back to me, have you seen those men sick? ”

He Angelica was greatly displeased, and retorted like a cannon: "What have you seen, what if you haven't seen it?" As long as there is a disease in the world, when the doctor will naturally be able to treat, when the patient is sick, he does not have the right to choose what disease he wants to get and what disease he does not want to have, so should the doctor choose what disease he should see and what disease he should not see? Meng Xuan, you are really naΓ―ve, there are high and low doctors, some are imperial doctors and some are grass doctors, but there is no distinction between high and low, wind and cold and yang are the same as yang things are a disease, I don't think the latter is embarrassed, the money I earn is clean, including the income of Yihong Hospital, you don't believe me and have nothing to say, anyway, I am not ashamed. In the end, his voice was as cold as broken ice, what the hell was wrong with Meng Xuan, grasping his endless questioning, thinking about everything, as if the doubts that had accumulated for three years poured out together, three years ago, where did the young man who was as indifferent as the wind go.

When the "Quanjitang" was opened, the business was relatively deserted in the first two months, because the Guan family's "Renshutang" coincidentally opened a branch on the next street, one was a newly opened pharmacy, and the other was a semicolon of the time-honored pharmacy, and most people naturally chose to patronize the latter without thinking, although Renshutang was more expensive than Quanjitang's medicinal materials and consultations, after all, the quality of the latter was obvious to all. And He Liao's "Quanjitang" medicinal materials are sufficient and lower than the market price, which inevitably makes people suspicious, and even suspects that Quanjitang's medicinal materials are adulterated.

Together with Qing'er, He Angelica simply learned from Bai Yangbai's appearance, and Yi Rong became an old man who sat in the hall to see a doctor, and attracted a group of ordinary people who came to the cheap medicine with his hands to eliminate the disease and his superb medical skills, and gradually had the first stable source of customers, and also had some reputation.

Later, there were a few wealthy patients who could not be cured for a long time in the "Renshutang", and it was difficult to queue up to see the two divine doctors of Wu Ma in the "Sanqingtang", so they came to the "Quanjitang" with the attitude of trying it out.

Under the hands of He Angelica's miraculous rejuvenation that turned decay into magic, the heat that plagued them for many years injured their lungs, spittled blood, and weakened their spirits; On the top, the throat is itchy and dry, and the cough is even phlegm sticky with blood, and the blood is bright red; Below, the abdomen is hot, diarrhea will be difficult and difficult, and all kinds of symptoms such as dysentery and non-dysentery will disappear and be swept away. After recovering from their illness, they were refreshed, walking like flying, and a hundred-pound plaque was sent to Quanjitang to praise the brilliant medical skills of the old doctor Xue Zhibai, who was under the pseudonym of He Angelica.

Since then, Quanjitang has also become a rookie pharmacy with a small reputation (as far as four streets away), but it can only do business for ordinary people and a small number of wealthy people, and has never been patronized by high-ranking officials and nobles. Very wealthy nobles have a doctor to see regularly, and it is enough to send the doctor directly to the house, who will line up to patronize the small store of Quanjitang? The queue also goes to Sanqingtang and Renshu Hall.

Therefore, Quanjitang's business is booming on the surface, but in fact, the amount it earns is far less than a fraction of the number in He Angelica and Liao Qing'er's minds, just because when treating the poor, there is no medical fee, half of the medicine fee can be paid in advance, and those who can't pay the medicine fee can also take medicine on credit if they can't pay the medicine fee under special circumstances - this is written in black and white on the "advertising leaflet" of Quanjitang, and it is also the result of the joint discussion between He Angelica and Liao Qing'er. After all, when the medicine hall was named "Quanji", this medicine hall had already placed the original intention of the two girls to choose this profession, so that very poor patients could also take two life-saving medicines, although the purchase of stores, decoration, purchase of medicinal materials and subsequent chain fees had turned them into very poor people.

In this way, Quanjitang was prosperous but operated with meager profits for four months, and suddenly one day, a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance and suspicious appearance came to see a doctor, and insisted on going to the back hall to see alone.

At the beginning, Liao Qing'er, who was pretending to be an old woman, strongly objected, feeling that this man was not like a good person, and was afraid that he would have any misdeeds towards her husband He Angelica, but He Angelica recognized this person at a glance as Lan Siwen, the brother-in-law of the Wu family, a rich man among the rich people in the fur business, and also the long-awaited "dignitary customer" of her and Qing'er.

After appeasing the old woman, Doctor Xue took Lan Siwen's pulse in the back hall, and diagnosed him as "five labors and seven injuries, and no yang affairs", coupled with his own description of "excessive urination, waist and knee pain, numbness and cold feet, and inability to walk", so he used decoction and moxibustion therapy to take a two-pronged approach, and very quickly let him get out of the shadow brought by this disease.

Half a month later, when Lan Siwen visited again, his face didn't look obscene at all, and there was even a little shadow of clear eyebrows.

This time, he brought two of his male friends who were plagued by the same disease, and indicated that they wanted to see Old Doctor Xue. However, because Old Doctor Xue was going to school, Granny Xue, who was skipping school to visit the store, warmly beckoned them to eat tea and snacks, and the three of them "urinated excessively". After school, Doctor Xue, who quickly changed her appearance, rejuvenated again, and used moxibustion to make Lan Siwen's two friends feel a lot better on the spot, and then recommended her newly developed steamed medicinal bath therapy to these three people.

After the two patients recovered for the first time, the three of them came to buy aphrodisiacs, and according to the physique and sexual habits of the three people, Doctor Xue prescribed them three completely different aphrodisiacs with the ultimate purpose of strengthening the body and cultivating the essence and strengthening the yuan, and those who had eaten it said that it was good. After these three people left with aphrodisiacs, Granny Xue counted the accounts and found that they only earned the money of these three dignitaries who did not lift the money, and the gross profit was as much as eight hundred taels when they were added up.

The reason why it is said to be "gross profit" is because Doctor Xue once rushed to see Lan Siwen, and was noticed by Sun when he ran out of Luo's house, although he failed to track and catch her, but after she went home, Sun had moved the old lady to Taoyao Courtyard, and grabbed her pigtails fiercely, causing a fuss in Taoyao Courtyard, and even the cicada clothes and mint were slightly injured, and everyone in Taoyao Courtyard was a big heel.

Granny Xue fiddled with an abacus, looked at Doctor Xue with a smile, and proposed: "Master, it is difficult for us to fight Sanqingtang and Renshutang if we fight for others, why don't we Quanjitang focus on selling aphrodisiacs, how about it?" ”
