Volume 2 The Family Banquet of the Shen Mansion Chapter 55 A Quiet Day
Hengning City.
After some rain in the afternoon, the sky cleared.
The handsome man who was walking slowly on the street with an oil-paper umbrella saw that the rain had stopped, so he put away the umbrella and continued to walk forward, and walked in front of a dim sum building.
"Little second brother, help me wrap two peach blossom cakes." The handsome man took it out
The silver was placed on the table.
"Yes, Childe wait a moment." The shopkeeper took the silver and turned to leave.
After a while, the shopkeeper took out the peach blossom cake wrapped in oiled paper and handed it to him respectfully: "This son, your peach blossom cake." ”
The handsome man took it with a slight bow, and then got up and walked out. The man held the oily paper bag containing the peach blossom cake in his right hand, and seemed to care very much about the paper bag, and dodged the puddles along the way, so as not to let a drop of rain splash on them, and a carriage suddenly rushed past him, lifting the rain in the rotten pit, but the man just pushed the handle of the umbrella to open it, and covered the rain.
At this time, the window of Baihualou next to the street was blown open by the strong wind, and a woman wanted to close the window, but saw the handsome man passing by below, with a delicate and sweet voice: "Childe, the slave family invites you to have a cup of tea, can you appreciate your face." ”
After the man put away the oil-paper umbrella, he looked upward, shook his head and smiled: "No need, there is something at home, say goodbye first!" ”
"Hey, Childe!" The woman tried to stop him, but unfortunately the other party had disappeared into the crowd after taking a few steps.
The woman smacked her lips, then recalled the face she had just seen the man, and then heard the distant and polite words, her face turned red for some reason, her heart beat extremely fast, and her eyes looked out of the window shyly: "What a handsome man....."
"Sister, why are you blushing?" A woman dressed in red walked in from the outside and followed her line of sight.
"No... It's nothing. The woman immediately withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and took a sip of the teacup on the table to hide her panic and shyness.
"I don't have a heart." The woman in red sat on the chair and looked at her teasingly: "Sister, didn't you see a handsome son outside the window just now?" ”
"My sister wanted to invite him to tea, but he left." The woman's face flushed pink, and she lowered her eyelids.
"There will be someone who refuses my sister's oiran, others can't ask my sister for a cup of tea for five hundred taels of silver, he directly rejected my sister, it's really a guy who doesn't know how to be amorous." The woman in red sighed.
"But my sister looked at the man standing there, it was a charm."
"I'm back." The man stopped in front of a large mansion and reached out to push open the door.
The door opened, and a medicinal fragrance mixed with sandalwood incense came to his nose, and the man narrowed his eyes slightly and took a breath
But his intoxication did not last for a moment, and the oiled paper bag in his right hand was snatched away.
"Finally back, things aren't wet, right?" The woman in green clothes took the oiled paper bag from the man's hand and looked left and right.
The handsome man nodded and said, "Don't worry, when you come back, the rain has stopped." ”
But those medicinal herbs were thrown back to the man directly along with the oiled paper bag, and the woman didn't care about these at all, she took out the hot peach blossom cake in the oiled paper bag, and said with a smile while chewing: "Yes, yes, I can eat hot peach blossom cake every day, it feels like a dream." ”
The handsome man smiled helplessly, walked past the woman, and was about to walk back to the hall, but when he looked up, he was stunned: "There are more people who come to see the doctor today than yesterday?" ”
"When spring comes, people are relatively weak, and it is easy to get sick." The woman in Tsing Yi said casually while eating peach blossom cake.
"What are they all sick with?" The man asked.
"Restless!" The woman in Tsing Yi bit another piece of peach blossom cake and said: "I think about men all day long!" ”
"Ahem! Ahem-" The handsome man, who was originally quite calm, suddenly choked.
These two people are Xu Fuquan, the former executioner ghost of Xuanwu Pavilion, and Tang Zhengya, the little master of Shennong Valley Medicine Immortal. Since the end of the Xuanwu civil strife, Tang Zhengya planned to go back to her own medicine village to stay, but the torrential rain in those days destroyed her village, so Tang Zhengya packed up some things, and followed Xu Fuquan to this Hengning City, and lived in the mansion that Chen Xiuzhe had prepared for Xu Fuquan for a long time. Tang Zhengya changed this place into his own medicine house according to the previous agreement, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came here, he cured the strange disease of Qin Yuanwai, a big household in Hengning City, and suddenly became famous, attracting countless patients to come to the door. And Xu Fuquan, as Tang Zhengya's deputy, has been helping her do some chores to buy medicine and boil medicine. The two of them stood together, and ordinary people naturally speculated about their relationship. But Tang Zhengya and Xu Fuquan quickly came forward to clarify the suspicions of those people: they just came here to open a medicine shop together.
As soon as this news came out, it quickly spread throughout Hengning City.
So in the past few days, the medicine house has been occupied by more than half of the women in Hengning City who are waiting to be married.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Tang Zhengya reluctantly sat back on the bench in the hall and casually took the pulse of the woman beside her. The woman's face was ruddy, her eyes were burning, and she looked very healthy, but the frequency of her pulse was a little high, and she seemed to be a little excited.
Oh...... That's because she's been staring at Xu Fuquan.
"Girl, what's wrong!" Tang Zhengyan accentuated his voice.
The woman came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I don't know what kind of illness I have, so I came to see Dr. Tang to take a look." ”
"Fifteen taels of silver, how about I let my young son Xu personally boil medicine for you?" Tang Zhengya winked at the woman and said in a low voice.
The woman was overjoyed: "Then what kind of medicine does Gongzi Xu want to boil for me?" ”
"Half a tael of sour jujube kernels, Xu Fuquan, boil it for this girl." Tang Zhengyan picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription, and then handed it to the woman, "Ten taels of silver, and then give him the prescription." ”
"Just half a tael of jujube kernels, and you want me ten taels of silver?" The woman smacked her tongue.
"Girl, you just want to go to Baihualou to find a rabbit master to chat, let alone thirty or forty taels of silver, but are those rabbits comparable to my son's appearance?" Tang Zhengyan withdrew the prescription, "In this way, the girl will add another ten taels, and I will ask Gongzi Xu to feed you the medicine." ”
"Good, good!" The woman took the prescription and happily rushed to the corner, "Master Xu, help me boil the medicine." ”
Xu Fuquan smiled faintly at her and nodded: "Girl, don't worry, the medicine still needs to be boiled for a while, and the aggrieved girl has to stand and wait." ”
Tang Zhengya yawned: "Next." ”
"I'll pay two hundred taels, I'll let Xu Gongzi sleep with me for one night!" A burly woman sat down and slapped a silver ticket directly on the table.
"We are not Baihualou, and Xu Gongzi only sells his art, not his body!" Tang Zhengya slapped the table angrily, "Let's give you priority in boiling and feeding medicine for the next three days at most, two hundred taels!" ”
"Medium!" The woman readily agreed.
"Isn't this Hengning City? How come there are other states ......" Tang Zhengya covered his face with his hands, "God." ”
It wasn't until sunset that all the girls who came to seek medical treatment in the medicine village dispersed, Tang Zhengya was so tired that she collapsed directly on the bench, and Xu Fuquan, who had been busy all day, was still tirelessly picking up the remaining medicinal materials.
"Today, you ran out to buy medicinal herbs, and when you came back, you were boiling medicine and feeding people to drink medicine, you were busy, do you want to rest for a while?" Tang Zhengya glanced at Xu Fuquan and asked in a low voice.
Xu Fuquan shook his head with a smile: "I'm actually fine, but I'm just boiling some and feeding people medicine, and it's much easier to do these things now than those things before." ”
"I found that Xu Gongzi enjoyed it very much, how about it? It feels good to hug left and right all day, right? Tang Zhengyan laughed and said, "I can't imagine that I can make so much money not because of my unparalleled medical skills, but because of Xu Gongzi's handsome face." Tsk tsk. ”
"It's a pleasure." Xu Fuquan nodded.
Tang Zhengyan sighed: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, I heard your friend say that you rejected a lot of beautiful beauties in Xuanwu Pavilion, it seems that they are all illusions!" ”
"The Divine Doctor misunderstood what I meant, and I enjoyed this kind of calm and ordinary life." Xu Fuquan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a smile, "Now I am boiling medicine and feeding medicine for others every day, which seems to be doing ordinary work, but it makes me really feel alive." ”
Tang Zhengya was stunned for a moment and turned his head: "You said yes, right?"
As he spoke, a black eagle landed on the eaves.
Xu Fuquan put down the medicinal herbs: "Hungry, I'll go cook." ”
"Oh yo? Can Xu Gongzi cook? Tang Zheng Aya raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"I've learned a little bit." Xu turned and walked to the kitchen.
"It's okay, I'm tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas these days, and it's not bad to change the taste once in a while." Tang Zhengyan stretched his limbs lazily, expecting Xu Fuquan's level of cooking.
But Tang Zhengya never thought that when she tasted the dishes Xu Fuquan had made tonight, she would have the heart to kill Xu Fuquan.
