Chapter 24 Angelica Medicine Store

"Why did the old camel kill himself?" asked Redfish

"He wants to tell us that Yan Nu has no relatives from now on, and we have to take care of it to the end," Wu Xiao said

Hongyu was silent, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at Yan Nu, who was drooping her head behind her, not knowing what he was thinking.

"After so many years, the old camel actually has no heart for revenge, and what he can't rest assured about is actually Yan Nu" Wu Xiao seemed to be saying it to Hongyu, and he also wanted to say it to himself.

After that, there was no word all the way, Wu Xiao looked ahead, and Hongyu looked at him.

In the evening, the four of them came to Xuanzhou City, Xuanzhou is a big city on the way, these days they have been eating and sleeping all the way, it is very hard, Wu Xiao is afraid that the red fish will not be able to stand it, so he decided to rest in Xuanzhou for two days, and the red fish also followed him.

stayed in a secluded place and asked for two adjacent rooms, Zhaohu took the initiative to arrange the horses and luggage, and the two also went with him.

Hongyu is indeed a little tired, Yan Nu has not spoken, but fortunately, Hongyu has been with people who don't like to talk for a long time, and she also knows that she can't be in a hurry.

As soon as Yan Nu entered the room, she found a corner and squatted there, holding her knees with her hands, and then remained motionless. The redfish are also left to her.

When Wu Xiao came to Redfish's room with his luggage, Redfish was sitting on the bed, leaning against the window and looking out at the street. "I'll sleep when I'm tired, I'll call the food to the room later," Wu Xiao put his luggage and said

"Come, come here" Hongyu beckoned to Wu Xiao

Wu Xiao walked over, Hongyu held his head on his lap, and gently touched Wu Xiao's face.

"What are you thinking?" Wu Xiao said

"I didn't think about anything, I want to hold you for a while" Hongyu smiled, Wu Xiao didn't speak, just lay quietly on her lap. Yan Nu raised her head and glanced at them, then lowered her head again.

"You said if I hadn't met you, what would I be like now," Redfish asked faintly

"You may still be treating people everywhere in Jiangnan until you get old," Wu Xiao said

"Can't you find a man to marry and have a bunch of children?" Hongyu looked at Wu Xiao playfully

"That's not the life you want to live, your mind isn't on it," Wu Xiao said as she looked at her

"What about you, why should I marry you," Hongyu had a smile on his face

Wu Xiao turned over and wrapped her hands around her waist, "I'm the different one, you've been waiting for me for so many years, you've been waiting for me"

Hongyu felt as if she was about to melt, she held Wu Xiao's face and kissed it twice, Wu Xiao only felt a hot current flow from her face to her own face.

"Let's go down and get some food, don't eat in the room," Redfish said

Wu Xiao stood up, Hongyu straightened his clothes and hair, and then pursed to Yan Nu

Wu Xiao walked over and squatted down and said to Yan Nu, "Let's go, come and eat with us."

Yan Nu stood up, but she stepped on the underside of her skirt with one foot, and she almost fell, but fortunately grabbed Wu Xiao's arm.

"His clothes don't fit, go back and change her set," Wu Xiao said

Hongyu came over to help her straighten her skirt, and then took her hand and went out of the room, Wu Xiao had to go out behind, and when she got downstairs, she just saw Zhaohu coming from the stable behind the inn.

"The horses are all arranged, how are you, are you hungry, let's order something to eat" Zhaohu looked extremely hungry

"What do you want to eat?" a young friend ran out of the back room when he heard someone calling for food

"What do you have to eat here?" asked Zhaohu

"Look at what the guests said, although the restaurant is not big, but the food is still made from time to time, and now there are buns, noodles, beef, roast chicken, all kinds of north and south side dishes, what do you think you want?"

"Let's have three steamed buns, two bowls of noodles, and cut five taels of beef" Zhaohu ordered a few things that were full of stomach, and turned around and asked Red Fish

"Sister, let's order two more side dishes."

"Pick up your best here, make two special side dishes," Redfish said casually to the guy

"Okay, sit down, I'll serve you tea" The guy Zhang Luo went.

After a while, the food was served, and the guy said while serving the food: "Look at a few people who have traveled from afar, aren't you here to participate in tomorrow's Medicine King Conference?"

"Medicine King Conference, what Medicine King Conference?" Zhao Hu was puzzled

"I don't know about the Medicine King Conference, our Xuanzhou Triennial Medicine King Conference will open tomorrow in the South Street Medicine King Temple, the north and south medicinal herbs, the east and west doctors will be all together, but it is lively, more lively than the New Year's temple fair, if you are not in a hurry, you can go to see it tomorrow afternoon"

"This year, it's still the King of Medicine Conference hosted by Angelica Pharmacy," Hongyu asked

"This eldest sister is an expert when she hears it, of course she is the director of the Angelica Medicine Store, and other medicine stores are not qualified to do so, why are you really people in the medicine store?" the guy said curiously

"Sort of, thank you little second brother for telling me, you don't have to say hello, we will eat by ourselves" Hongyu smiled

"Okay, you guys are eating, just call me if there's something," the guy said, picked up the tray and went back to the kitchen.

"Do you know about this Medicine King Conference?" Wu Xiao asked

"This is a major event in the medicine store, of course I know, it is held every three years, often in Xuanzhou, I came to my grandfather once when I was a child, I didn't expect us to catch up this year" Hongyu said

"Let's take a look, this is a grand event in the medicine store," Wu Xiao said

"I'm going, I'm just going to buy some medicinal herbs, and Yan Nu's body also needs to be adjusted" Hongyu looked at Yan Nu, who was looking at the bun, like a wolf seeing meat, but she didn't move.

Wu Xiao also looked at her, picked up a bun and handed it to Yan Nu, who glanced at Wu Xiao as if asking.

"Eat, you can eat to your heart's content," Wu Xiao said

As soon as the words fell, Yan Nu snatched the buns away, and after eating them in two bites, as if she was afraid of people grabbing food, she swallowed five buns in one breath, and even Zhaohu, who had always been able to eat, opened her mouth wide.

The three of them looked at each other, laughed, and went with her.

Early the next morning, Zhaohu and Wu Xiao slept until three poles in the morning before getting up, and when Wu Xiao got up, Zhaohu was still asleep, so he kicked Zhaohu.

"Who, who, what's the matter?" Zhaohu sat up suddenly, and when he saw clearly that it was Wu Xiao who kicked him, he fell down again, and muttered: "Big brother, I'll sleep again, sleepy."

Wu Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and opened the door to knock on Hongyu's door, but no one answered inside, he pushed the door in, and there was no one in the house.

He went downstairs and asked, "Which two of my female companions are they?"

"Uncle, which two eldest sisters went out early in the morning, probably on the street," the guy said

"Get us some water," Wu Xiao had to do

At noon, the two women came back, Wu Xiao was sitting in the room reading a book, and Zhaohu was washing and combing.

Hongyu said, "What do you think of the outfit I chose for Yan Nu?" After speaking, she pulled Yan Nu in from outside the door

I saw that Yan Nu was wearing a full red dress and pants, with a tight-fitting style, which was more suitable for her figure, and the red fish in her hair also gave her a look, and the whole person jumped beautiful.

"That's good, Sister help her dress up like this, and the sparrow will be a phoenix" Zhaohu praised

"Yes, it's just that the color is not quite right, black is better," Wu Xiao said

"I thought about it, and I bought a black one with a similar style to this one," Red Fish laughs

Yan Nu was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and wrung her hands, and hid behind the red fish.

"Okay, this is done, let's go to the Medicine King Conference now" Hongyu is in a very good mood today

"You just came back, eat something before you go, I don't think the market will open so soon," Wu Xiao said

"It's okay, let's eat something first" Hongyu pulled Wu Xiao and walked out

Yaowang Temple on Xuanzhou South Street is actually a relatively large alley, starting from Yaowang Temple and stretching along South Street, usually no one comes, and there are not many vendors.

Today is different, before dawn, large and small medicine stalls and shelves have been erected here. A large number of pharmacists, warehouses, and pharmacies have sent people here. The triennial Yaowang Conference is not only a small business, but also a distribution center for bulk medicinal material transactions, and the large and small warehouses attached to Yaowang Lane have basically been rented by various northern and southern medicinal material merchants.

Get to the alley in front of the Yaowang Temple to place, all sample pallets, for buyers to check the condition, image, selection of varieties, bulk transactions are first selected which goods, what condition, how much price, and then delivered in the warehouse. Of course, there will also be some retail business, and the big buyers generally have familiar sources of goods, and now the world is not too peaceful, and the business is much more difficult to do than in previous years.

When Wu Xiao and the four of them came to this Yaowang Lane, it was already crowded with people, and they couldn't walk on the road, there were many people selling goods from the north and south, all kinds of snacks, adults and children playing, all like rushing to the temple fair to join in the excitement and catch a market.

Yan Nu has never seen so many people, she has been following Wu Xiao, dodging and dodging, Wu Xiao doesn't pay attention to her, let her pull the corners of her clothes, she has to adapt slowly.

Red Fish and Zhaohu looked like a market, looking east and west, looking at medicinal herbs and fabrics, and then looking at some fresh gadgets. Zhaohu was very interested in street juggling and entertainers, and from time to time beckoned Hongyu and Wu Xiao to watch, and the four of them walked very slowly all the way.

Hongyu walked to a medicinal herb stall and stopped to take a look, and the boss in his fifties hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "What kind of medicine does this girl buy, is my condition here?"

"I'll take a look at Huang Lian," Hongyu said

"You've come to the right place, I'm the best one to count the yellow chain here, look at this, it's more than three years, it's big" The boss picked up a piece of yellow lotus and sent it to Hongyu

Hongyu looked at it and said, "You can't do this, the color is light and dry, you can collect it from the hiking mountain, where is the land not suitable for growing this medicine."

"Yo, the girl is a big expert, admire, you wait" The boss took out a bag from the bottom and said, "Come, girl, look at this"

Hongyu opened it and looked at it, picked up a piece and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it: "This is okay, how many do you have?"

"Don't tell the girl, I will charge about 20 catties for this goods, but the price is more expensive," the boss said

"I want ten pounds," Redfish clapped his hands

"Dele, I'll find something for you to put on" The boss said sharply, packed, Hongyu gave the money, let Zhaohu carry it, and a few walked forward.

Not long after, I saw a commotion on the street in front of me, the flow of people rushed to the front of the Yaowang Temple, and the four people also walked forward with the flow of people, only to see that the scene had already been set up in front of the Yaowang Temple, and there were many people sitting on and off the stage, and an old man stood in the middle of the scene and said loudly: "The triennial Yaowang Conference was held in Xuanzhou this year, and all the peers came from thousands of miles away, and I would like to thank you for your support on behalf of the old and young masters in the bank."

Speaking of this, there was a round of applause all around, and the old man waited for the applause to rest and said: "This year, the young proprietor of our Angelica Medicine Inn, also came with the old man and me to participate in this year's Medicine King Conference, I invite our young proprietor to come over and show his identity, and please take care of the old gentlemen sitting there in the future."

His words were quite polite and bright, and there were cheers on and off the stage. The old man raised his breath and said loudly: "Please Angelica Medicine Stack Xu Ziwang Xu Shao is the head pillar incense of the medicine king"

Out of a small door on the side walked out a young man in a white Confucian shirt, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dignified appearance, graceful character, extraordinary bearing, I saw him unhurriedly walked up to the stage, one hand to the surroundings of a salute, the audience applauded.
