Chapter 168: Peng Zhang is here again
After the two of them went back, they mentioned the matter of providing free medical treatment to the people with Mrs. Cui and Huang Peiyuan, and they really got their approval.
So, early the next morning, a sign was erected at the door of the Xishi Mushi Baicao Hall - since this month, the store will open for free on the fifteenth day of each month to consult the people of Chang'an and give free medicine.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered a series of huge reactions in Chang'an City.
Of course, the most explosive are the poor people at the bottom. For the people who can barely make ends meet every day, what they are most afraid of is getting sick. Once they get sick, just asking a doctor for medicine is enough to toss them to death. And once the disease is more abrasive and cannot be cured for a long time, it will be even more fatal. If you don't see it, how many families who can still have food and clothing will be sold because of a serious illness, and their families will be ruined.
Therefore, since the news was released in the Mu Baicao Hall, everyone in Chang'an City has focused on the Mu Baicao Hall in the West Market and Cui Pu and his wife. The people who were strange naturally began to look forward to the fifteenth day of this month. Other nobles have mixed reputations about this, some praise Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao for their benevolence, and others ridicule them for selling their reputation. However, many more people are waiting to see how they perform before making plans. After all, giving away free medicine is not a low cost for a day, and if they come once a month, then they will make a lot of money.
When Wu Lixin heard about it, he was furious.
"The surname Cui is really good at making a good calculation! Treating people for free not only started the name of Mu's Baicao Hall, but also accumulated the prestige of the people. In the future, if they do something bad, the people will also look at the good things they have done and open up to them, and they can do whatever they want!"
And those things he carefully arranged, the effect will be greatly weakened!
This is their ultimate goal, right? Knowing that the Mu's Baicao Hall is too eye-catching now, they will no longer be stupid and be the only one who stands out, but will drag the people of the entire Chang'an City behind them and give them backing. In this way, no matter what happens to them, these people will stand up for them as soon as possible. When the time comes, even if it is really their fault, no one else can blame them. There is one word, and it is called the law does not blame the public!
Wu Lixin can be said to hate Cui Pu to death now.
Originally, there was no intersection between him and Cui Pu, and he had no feelings for Cui Pu in his heart. The two people have different circles, everyone plays their own games, and they have been at peace all these years. It's just that last month at Furong's house, he originally booked the night of Miss Junjun, and invited many friends to watch Miss Junjun's new song and dance. Unexpectedly, when they arrived in a hurry, they found that someone had already occupied his place! These two people were Lu Jiu and Wang Seventeen.
Although the Wu family is not a famous family in Chang'an City, because of the relationship between Empress Zetian in the early years and Concubine Wu Hui now, they still have some weight here. Therefore, Wu Lixin was born with a golden spoon since he was a child, and he is the descendant of the Wu family, and Concubine Wu Hui is his aunt. And Concubine Wu Hui gave birth to two sons in succession and didn't support them, and her motherly love had nowhere to vent, so she poured it all into him. So he can be said to be a star holding the moon since he was a child, and the fathers and aunts in the family dare not discipline him, and even the princes in the palace have to give him three points. Although Concubine Wu Hui later gave birth to King Shou, she still loved him a lot. Therefore, as long as it is what he wants, others have always come to him, and no one has ever dared to grab it.
And this time, Lu Jiu and Wang Seventeen dared to take the first step to grab his territory, and they also listened to the song and dance that should have been dedicated to him first?
He was furious, and Fang Yixiu provoked from the side, so he waved his hand and ordered someone to beat these two.
After beating someone, he wasn't afraid at all, and directly asked someone to throw Lu Jiu and Wang Seventeen out. Being able to leave them on a pair of legs and walk back, this is already for the sake of being the children of the New Tang Dynasty.
But he never thought that these two people were silent when they were beaten, but Cui Pu couldn't help jumping out, and teamed up with Cheng Jiuniang to hold down Fang Yixiu and beat them to avenge them.
And Fang Yixiu's guy is useless. However, after being beaten, he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and desperately shouted his name, wanting him to help him avenge him. He couldn't keep himself busy with his own affairs, how could he have the time to give this little rabbit cub a head? And Concubine Wu Hui had already told them that they should not have a conflict with those generals in the future. Cheng Jiuniang is the daughter-in-law of the Eguo Mansion again, and he was stupid before he went to the net.
He didn't go, Fang Yixiu should have thought he was scared, right? He was actually scared again, and when he got home, he had a high fever and went crazy. The old lady of the Fang family was also useless, and when she saw this, she even came to him in a hurry, saying that he had harmed her precious grandson!
It's ridiculous! It's clear that the surname Fang is useless, and he can't stand a trivial matter, so what's the matter with him?
Of course, the more ridiculous is yet to come. Fang Yixiu just had a fever, his father's imperial physician order couldn't cure his son, and he actually wanted to beg the Cui family for that waste! And he really did everything to get the medicine, and even took the initiative to go to the Lu family and the Wang family to make amends on behalf of his son!
Is it their fault to admit what happened at Furong's house that day? You must know that it was he who ordered the beating at that time! Is it true that the family surnamed Fang is wrong to admit him in public?
This realization infuriated him.
Of course, he knew that all this was Cui Pu's design, so he already hated Cui Pu in his heart.
Later, Imperial Physician Fang got the medicine, and Fang Yixiu really had a fever! He went to Fang's house to ask for two pills and came back, and used one pill to test the effect on his beloved concubine's younger brother, and it was indeed much better than the Zixue Pill he was using now. He immediately saw the wealth hidden in this pill.
To be honest, he's been a bit tight lately. Although the family has already handed over a few shops in his hands, there are so many fox friends and dog friends around him, and there are so many women outside the house, everyone gets together to eat and listen to a song or something, and the women still have to wear gold and silver, how can this money be enough to spend?
In this case, Cui Liu was sorry for him anyway, so he asked them to hand over the recipe for Angong Niuhuang Pill, and everyone didn't owe each other, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
He thought so, but found that the surname Cui actually began to guard against him!
It's just abominable!
"Toast without eating and eating and drinking. Since you have to find death yourself, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!" With a snap, another pill was slapped on the table, Wu Lixin's face was cold, and he gritted his teeth.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of this month.
This was the day of the first free consultation in the Baicao Hall in the West Market. Early this morning, the door of the Baicao Hall was crowded with people.
When Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu came over, they also saw that the three layers and the outer three floors here were all people. The doctors in the shop saw the doctor one after another, and the medicine boy ran before and after, and he was almost crazy.
Seeing this, they didn't let anyone greet them, and went up to the second floor to drink tea.
They came here today just to see what was going on here. Of course, if there is a disease that the doctor downstairs can't solve, Mu Jiaojiao will help them.
However, judging from the situation in the morning and half a day, most of these ordinary people are just some minor problems. Grab a pair of medicines, take them home and fry them, and it's fine.
As the morning passed, the doctors were exhausted, but there was an endless stream of people who came to see the doctor, and the number was even much higher than in the morning.
Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu were a little dumbfounded when they saw such a grand occasion.
"Is this the whole of Chang'an City here? In the past, other pharmacies would give away free medicine every Dragon Boat Festival or Chongyang Festival, but I haven't seen anyone so crazy, they are too enthusiastic, right?" Cui Mou shouted in surprise.
"After all, now there is a miracle doctor lady at the head of this Baicao Hall, and everyone's trust in it is higher. Mu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Let the doctor and the medicine boy rest first! Let the doctors from other medicine shops under the name of the Mu family come over to help in the afternoon." ”
Cui Pu glanced at him. "I'm seeing you become more and more self-righteous. ”
"Yes? I'm just telling the truth. Mu Jiaojiao smiled at him.
Cui Pu immediately pursed his lips, snorted coldly and didn't start.
Lunch for two people was eaten in the shop with the doctors. After lunch, seeing that the flow of people outside the shop still showed no sign of decreasing, Mu Jiaojiao planned to go down to help.
It's just that as soon as he raised his foot, he saw the shopkeeper of the pharmacy running up: "Lang Jun, lady, Doctor Peng from King Shou's Mansion is here." They said they were here to help us!"
Mu Jiaojiao was stunned, and Cui Pu also frowned. "We don't have much to do with him, why does he help us like this? This is not right, let's go down and see!"
He walked a few steps, but when he turned around, he found that Mu Jiaojiao was still standing there without moving. pulled her up: "Let's go!"
"Oh. Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and obediently walked forward with him.
