Chapter 147: The Scent of Money

Cai Qi knelt upright, his arms straight, and his head hung very low, he was afraid of touching Fu Jiuqu's eyes, looking like he had committed a big crime.

Fu Jiuqu slowly stood up.

Cai Qi could hear his footsteps, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't come over, but walked to the window, pushed the window open, and let the fierce cold wind blow in, blowing the curtain high.

"Heavy Building."

Cai Qi raised his head and made a bitter face.

"It's up to you to kill or chop, you...... Don't scare me, okay? ”

Fu Jiuqu looked back at him, "Is it cold?" ”

Cai Qi responded with a bitter face and embarrassment, "Cold." ”

Fu Jiuqu pointed to a chair opposite him: "Sit down and say." ”

Cai Qi knelt on the ground, and when he saw his excessively calm appearance, he was even more frightened and raised the knife up.

"Okay, let's brother, how to deal with it, you can do it directly...... Give a good death, I don't blame you. ”

"Humph!" Fu Jiuqu's eyes narrowed and looked at him, there was a smile in his eyes, bright as starlight, and the curvature of the corners of his lips was extremely soft, and he couldn't see half of the annoyance at all, which made Cai Qi goosebumps.

"Chonglou, don't pretend. I know you've heard it all...... Yes, this time it's a brother who is wrong, and he didn't avoid it, causing rumors to spread and losing your face, but no matter how big the mistake is, at most he will die and apologize, right? You scare me so much, it makes me feel worse than killing me......"

Fu Jiuqu walked closer, grabbed his shoulder, and lifted the person up directly, looking at him coldly with his eyes, "Is the Imperial City Division not busy enough?" ”

"What?" The second monk Cai Qizhang was puzzled.

"Go down and give them more work. When you're busy, you don't have time to talk nonsense. ”

Cai Qi: "??? Heavy building? Are you serious? ”

Fu Jiuqu's expression was faint: "Huh? Am I not looking serious? ”

Cai Qi: "You're not angry with me? ”

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows without a trace, "Why are you angry?" ”

Cai Qi: "I...... With that Cao Yilan? ”

Seeing him stammering, Fu Jiuqu's face sank slightly, with a bit of lazy banter, "You like her?" ”

Cai Qi shook his head hurriedly, threw his waist knife to the ground, and told the truth about what happened that night.

However, it inevitably stimulated Fu Jiuqu, and he still hid some details.

"Anyway, that's it, Cao Yilan and I are innocent, but nothing actually happened...... But this is embarrassing, and I am afraid that there will be endless gossip in the future......"

"It doesn't matter." Fu Jiuqu sat back disapprehantly, picked up a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly, "You don't like Cao Yilan, just assume that this incident didn't happen." If you like it, you still have a chance. ”

As he spoke, he lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Cai Qi.

"I'll tell you when you're ready."

"I don't like it." Cai Qi's voice was raised, "A little lady like Cao Yilan, where can I afford to provoke it?" Look at my face, it almost disfigured me...... I'll have to hide from her when I see her in the future......"

After venting, Cai Qi felt that it was inappropriate to talk about his brother's fiancΓ©e room, so he cleared his throat and changed the topic.

"Chonglou, then do you still want to marry Cao Yilan now?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes narrowed shallowly, "Marry." ”

Cai Qi raised his eyebrows, "You really don't mind?" ”

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him and hooked his lips, "Wouldn't this be better?" ”

Cai Qi didn't know what Fu Jiuqu said "better", what kind of good method it was, anyway, he was very weak-hearted, although he knew that Fu Jiuqu didn't like Cao Yilan, he still felt ashamed of him.

Therefore, after grinding in Fu Jiuqu's study for a long time, Cai Qi was stunned and took a cake of tea from Shugang, Yangzhou, and then completely believed that Fu Jiuqu was really not angry with him.

However, rumors were spreading, even if Fu Jiuqu didn't mind, Cai Qi felt faceless in the Imperial City Division, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Shouzhou to investigate the incense medicine case.

Fu Jiuqu agreed.

Countless officials have been implicated in the incense medicine case, and the source is still in Shouzhou.

In this intertwined network of relationships, whoever Fu Jiuqu sends to Shouzhou is not as convenient as the little marquis of the Founding Marquis Mansion.

And who can be trusted more than his own brother?

~~

Before opening, Xin Yi renovated the Sun family pharmacy and specially vacated an inner room for the "inpatient ward" to facilitate the use of patients who need to be cared for by doctors.

But she didn't expect to be the first patient to be admitted.

There was a female dependent living in the back of the medicine shop, and it was inconvenient for Zhou Daozi to enter and exit, so Xin Yi simply lived in a ward separated from the lobby by a wall, so that Zhou Daozi could enter and exit freely.

Zhou Daozi was able to take the initiative to come to the pharmacy for a consultation, which solved the urgent need, and Xin Yi was really grateful.

Otherwise, the pharmacy will be closed the next day after it opens, which is really a big joke in the world.

Zhou Daozi has practiced medicine all his life and has a lot of experience, but his temper is not very good, and in just three days, Xin Yi heard him scold patients at least ten times.

He is old and his mouth is still damaged, if there are complaints like in later generations, this Lao Zhou will definitely have his license revoked in less than three episodes. However, to Xin Yi's surprise, the patients who were scolded by Zhou Daozi were all honest and respected the doctor very much, and obediently took medicine for treatment after being scolded, and none of them brought their relatives to the doctor.

Convinced!

There are Zhou Daozi and An Niangzi in the shop, and there is no problem in operation.

On the fourth day of recuperation, Xin Yi's body had improved a lot and regained some strength. But everyone didn't allow her to get out of bed to work, and day by day, she could only lie in bed bored.

couldn't stand it, Xin Yi asked his lover to take the "Medicine King Fragments" and "Chen's Materia Medica" hidden in the room......

I didn't read two pages before I heard a cry next door.

Because of Wen Zi's death, Xiang Ling looked depressed all day long, his eyes were swollen from crying, and he cried a lot behind his back.

What made Xiangling even more angry and uncomfortable was Wen Zi's family. The daughter has been confirmed dead, except for her mother who took her younger brother to identify the body, and since then she has ignored it, listening to Xiang Ling's mother, she is afraid of the funeral expenses and does not want to receive the body.

Xin Yi turned a page of the book, and Xiang Ling sobbed.

She couldn't stand it anymore, "Beloved, help me up." ”

The lover was tinkering with the charcoal stove in the corner, and when he heard the words, he turned around, "Master Cao said, you are not allowed to get out of bed to do things." ”

Xin Yi laughed, "I don't do things, I pee." ”

"......," the lover straightened up, "you wait, I'll take the night pot." ”

"No need." Xin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, "I just want to get up and walk, and if I lie down again, my waist is about to break." ”

As she spoke, she reached out to support her waist and accidentally touched the injury.

There was a little bit of pain, but more of a numbness.

She touched it lightly, and it was very strange, and an unusually hot emotion penetrated into her heart like that.

When she was bitten by a snake and fell into a semi-coma, the man rescued her, and the feeling of sucking poisonous blood with her mouth seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she could vaguely recall the softness of the person's lips, and even intuitively felt that he was Fu Jiuqu......

But no one admits it.

They told her that Fu Jiuqu carried her into the room and lay down, and soon went back to the house. Her clothes were put on by Sun Huai for her, and the wound was treated by Zhou Daozi himself......

Very smooth plot.

Nothing was a problem.

But Xin Yi just didn't think it was right.

Could it be that she was poisoned by a snake and her memory was damaged?

The lover saw her fingers rubbing her waist and sighed, "You lie down obediently, Master Cao brought a lot of books, if you are really boring, I will go and bring some to you." But Master Cao said, you are only allowed to watch for half an hour, and you are not allowed to tire your eyes......"

Xin Yi was pulled back to her senses by her lover's chatter and glared at her with disgust.

"Who the hell are you? One sentence at a time, Lord Cao, I think it's better to give you to Lord Cao as a girl, anyway, you listen to him so much......"

"Where do I have? My sister wronged me. ”

The lover was also really good for her, but seeing that she was in good spirits today, he agreed to only walk around the yard and talk to Xiang Ling, so he agreed and reached out to support her.

"Be careful, there's a wound on your back, don't twist it."

Before staying at the hotel, Xin Yi felt that she was alive, but as soon as she opened her legs, she found that her body was weak and her waist was stiff, so anxious that the sweat on her forehead came out.

Too weak chicken.

Is this Bianjing Hercules?

Xin Yi motioned for his lover to let go of his hand, "You let go of me and let me walk by myself." If it goes on like this, it's about to be a waste. ”

"Nope." The lover flatly refused.

Xin Yi looked at her exaggerated appearance, smiled, pushed her arm away, and walked forward slowly, "Look, I'm not very good, isn't it?" I'm just poisoned by snakes, not disabled. ”

The lover followed carefully behind, arms outstretched, ready to help her at any time.

Xin Yi wanted to comfort Xiang Ling, but as soon as she came over, Xiang Ling stopped her tears and went straight to work.

"Sister, leave her alone." The lover sighed, hugged Xin Yi and said in a low voice: "Wen Zi died in vain, and met such a family member again...... It's really pitiful, Xiang Lingqi can't hate it, I'm afraid it will take some days to get by. ”

Xin Yi nodded.

As soon as she turned around, she went back to her bedroom. If nothing else, he walked to the bed and lay on the ground, reaching out to find the vermilion lacquered wooden box.

The lover was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Tell me what you want to take, and I'll take it for you."

Xin Yi lowered his head, took out the wooden box like a baby, blew the dust on his head, wiped his sleeve again, and sat back on the couch with difficulty.

"I feel satisfied when I hold it myself."

She lifted the lid and wanted to kiss it.

The lover took a look and took a deep sniff of the strange fragrance.

"Sister, do you want to make spices?"

Xin Yi originally didn't have that plan, she just wanted to come over to take a look at her Bai Duyun and Qi Nanxiang, but after being reminded by her beloved, she suddenly had an idea.

"yes, why didn't I think of that?"
