"Mrs. Gu, it's okay to say so." Wang Yiyi said with a smile.
"My medicine can be sold to you, but it's not under the name of Liu Gong." Gu Shiba Niang said.
As soon as these words came out, both Wang Yiyi and Wang Hongbin were shocked.
If it wasn't Liu Gong's name, why would everyone be fighting for it
Of course, Gu Shiba Niang also knew about it. She smiled, looked at Wang Zhang, and saluted: "Last time, you must have seen some of the medicinal materials I sold to Guitang."
Wang Yiyi didn't know what she was going to say, so he thought about it and nodded.
"With Mr. Wang's eyesight, you can see something." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
Wang Yiyi was startled when he heard this. Seeing the calm expression of the little girl in front of him, he twirled his beard and said with a smile: "To be honest, little lady, some of the medicines are quite innovative..."
He didn't say any more, and Gu Shiba Niang took over with a smile.
"Mr. Wang," she said with a smile, "you are so polite to say so. In fact, it's because the ingredients used in the medicine are not in line with Mr. Liu's craftsmanship."
Now that she admitted it, Wang Yiyi stopped being reserved and nodded with a smile.
"It must be a new way for the young lady." Wang Hongbin said with a smile.
Gu Shiba Niang pursed her lips and smiled, waving her hands and saying, "Shopkeeper Wang is joking, but it's actually because I'm not good at learning."
Wang Yiyi and Wang Hongbin looked at each other and said in unison: "Young lady is humble and eager to learn. She deserves to be a famous teacher and disciple."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled bitterly. She guessed that under their preconceptions, even if she directly said that she was not Liu Gong's disciple, they would only treat her as being humble, so she went straight to the topic concisely.
"The thing is, although I have studied for a while, I am not good at it, so I dare not use the name of master to make medicines for the time being. As you know, I no longer sell medicines. If shopkeeper Wang thinks highly of my skills, If you still want to buy my medicine, I would like to thank Shopkeeper Wang, but these medicines can only be sold in the name of my wife, Mrs. Gu. Only when I become more diligent in my studies can I dare to live up to my teacher's name." She stood up and rushed. Wang Yi and the other two saluted and said.
Seeing the surprised and confused expressions on their faces, Gu Shiba Niang repeated it again.
In fact, since meeting Peng Yizhen, she has stopped selling medicine. At least for now, she does not plan to sell medicine under the banner of Liu Gong's disciple. Even if it is certified that this book is genuine Liu Gong's skills, I also need to meet the old man selling fake medicine and ask some questions before I can act like this again.
What's more, she never believed that just by relying on this book, the medicine she made could really catch up with Liu Gong's level.
Wang Yiyi looked as usual when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I will follow your instructions as a young lady."
Wang Hongbin hesitated to speak.
"I wonder if Liu Gong is in good health?" When leaving, Wang Yiyi finally asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, "I wonder if it is convenient to visit him?"
Good, very good. Lying on the bookshelf every day, Gu Shiba Niang smiled bitterly in her heart.
"He's gone out," she said with a helpless smile, "To be honest, I don't know when he will come back, and I haven't said where he went..."
She was talking about the old man selling fake medicine, but Wang Yiyi looked happy after hearing this.
"He still behaves like this now..." He laughed, as if thinking of some interesting past events, "When I was young, I followed my father to visit him. We followed him all the way from Jinzhou to Quanzhou. It was so easy to meet him. , and he left in a blink of an eye.
"He must be in good spirits." Wang Hongbin said with a smile.
Gu Shiba Niang also laughed and said: "Yes, very good."
It really sounded like the old man selling fake medicine. Her heart pounded, it couldn't be possible. . . . .
After bidding farewell to the Gu family and getting on the carriage, Wang Hongbin hurriedly asked: "Then are we really going to do what the little lady said and not say that the medicine we sell is Liu Gong's secret recipe? Not even Liu Gong's disciples? Then... "
Wang Yizhang squinted his eyes to rest, waved his hand to stop him, and said: "Remember my words, do what she said, there will be only benefits and no harm."
Wang Hongbin wanted to say something more, but after hearing this, he had no choice but to say yes.
"Hong Bin, I'm going back to Su'an right now. Please pay more attention to some things. Madam Gu is a young man, and the children in our family who are in charge of the medicine store here are also young. This Liu Gong Pharmaceutical appears again, saying it is Happy events are also dangerous, and they can be successful or unsuccessful, so be careful..." Wang Yiyi opened his eyes and said.
Wang Hongbin responded hurriedly and solemnly, and the carriage drove away and passed by a well-decorated but not ostentatious carriage.
Xin Chaoyang loosened her loose white cloak, revealing her gold-embroidered robe, and her eyes flashed back from the car curtain.
"Sure enough, it's still Baohe Hall. It seems that they have a very good relationship with Mrs. Gu." He said lightly, reaching out and stroking the jade crown on his head, his movements were smooth and elegant, which was pleasing to the eye.
Xin Chao Ling shuddered and quietly moved to the side, trying to put a greater distance between himself and the handsome young man in front of him.
"Brother..." He said with a grimace, listening to the rhythmic sound of the carriage, "Do I really want to kneel in front of someone's door?"
If this spreads out, his reputation as Master Ling will be wiped out in Jiankang, and he will no longer have to go out. If he is really an old man, forget it, he will kneel down as if he is respecting his elders, but this is a little girl. . . . . .
Alas, Master Ling will never raise his head in front of the brothel girls in the future.
Xin Chaoyang ignored his words, twirling the beaded ribbon hanging from his crown with his hand and thinking about something, and the carriage slowed down.
"Master, Madam Gu's house has arrived." The young man said respectfully outside.
Xin Chaoling's face turned gloomy, he clutched the cushion and looked at Xin Chaoyang bitterly.
Xin Chaoyang glanced at him, got up and got out of the car.
Xin Chaoling had no choice but to stand up, but Xin Chaoyang reached out and held him down.
"It's just talk, do you really do this?" He said with a smile, a bit of teasing in his eyes.
When Xin Chaoling heard this, his expression was not overjoyed, but rather a bit fearful. His brother smiled so kindly, and he felt that his bones were a little weak.
Let yourself go? This is absolutely impossible. There are many people in the Xin family who have made mistakes, whether they are important or lowly, but to say that they can escape unscathed by Xin Chaoyang, then it is really impossible.
I don’t know what more terrifying method he has come up with. . . . .
Xin Chaoyang pressed Xin Chaoling's shoulder, seemingly unaware of the fear on his face, said "sit still" and got out of the car.
Looking up at the big characters on the door plaque, Xin Chaoyang nodded with some approval and raised his hand to signal the waiter to call the door with the name card.
When she heard the doorbell being called, Gu Shiba Niang, who was reading in the room, already guessed who was coming.
In the past few days, people had been coming almost every day, but she had not seen anyone except Baohe Hall. In any case, Baohe Hall was still a little different in her heart.
"Brother," she called out hurriedly when she walked out and saw Gu Hai walking towards the door, "If you are looking for me, don't say goodbye yet."
Gu Hai turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, I will obey the young lady's orders."
Gu Shiba Niang pursed her lips and smiled, watching her brother stride away. She thought to herself that it was time to sell some servants and servants. Mom would never go out in a short time. Her brother had to concentrate on studying. No matter how careful she was, she could do it alone. When I was too busy, I originally thought that by not giving my mother the opportunity to work in a beast's house, she would avoid the beast's covetousness. It seemed that she was underestimating her fate. It was not enough to just prevent the fate of living under someone else's roof. Yes, far from enough. . . . .
Xin Chaoyang, who was outside the door, looked at the young master in front of him. Hearing his answer, there was no disappointment on his face. Instead, he respectfully handed over the name card and left without saying a word.
As soon as he got into the car, his expression became a little solemn.
Xin Chaoling's heart beat even harder when he saw this. This Mrs. Gu didn't even see them. It showed that he had really annoyed her. It was too bad. Even if he didn't die this time, his skin would peel off. . . . .
No wonder I often heard that beauty is a disaster, and a beautiful woman's smile will captivate the whole city. He paid a high price for a beautiful woman's smile. . . . .
"Brother, I'd better kneel down." Xin Chaoling stammered. Compared with the pain in the future, losing face is nothing.
Xin Chaoyang waved his hand gently, "Mrs. Gu has not been selling medicines these days, and many medicine shops have rejected invitations to meet her, not just our family."
"Oh, that's it, what about Baohe Hall just now..." Xin Chao Ling asked in a daze.
"Baohetang..." Xin Chaoyang looked at Xin Chaoling thoughtfully, "You have a good relationship with the seventh young master of the Wang family, right?"
Xin Chaoling was very happy to finally stop pestering the topic of Madam Gu. He nodded hurriedly and said yes, then hesitated and said: "However, the seventh young master has no status in the family like me... I mean the seventh young master does not belong to the family. If you want to get involved in business.”
Xin Chaoyang smiled, "It doesn't matter, just wait for the opportunity."
Since he said that, it must be right. Xin Chaoling nodded without further words, looked at the street scene outside the car curtain, and let out a breath as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.
"Oh, by the way, if there is a chance, I still have to apologize to Mrs. Gu." Xin Chaoyang looked at him and smiled warmly.
"Ah? I still have to kneel..." Xin Chaoling suddenly looked downcast, "Sooner or later it will be a knife, I'd better kneel now, and I can live a peaceful year..."
"Kneel down?" Xin Chaoyang shook his head and chuckled, "Chaoling, don't forget that you are the young master of our Xin family."
Am I still? I really forgot. . . . . Xin Chao Ling pouted and said in his mind.
"... When you kneel down, it means that our Xin family is kneeling down..." Xin Chaoyang stroked his hand and said slowly, with a bit of solemnity on his face, "If you make a mistake, we will If you open the door, you will be punished. If you are slapped in the face, what is a family
It was rare for Xin Chaoyang to say so many words at one time, but he saw Xin Chaoling beside him who was absent-minded. The more he listened, the uglier his face became. It was really a joke. . . . . .
"Brother, just tell me what you want me to do." Xin Chaoling stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat and said in panic.
"This is just a play between children. It starts here and ends here." Xin Chaoyang said concisely and concisely.
"Ah?" Xin Chao Ling scratched his head, "How can it be destroyed?"
"Isn't that simple?" Xin Chaoyang glanced at him, his expression remained the same, and he had a faint smile in his eyes. He didn't mean to look down on his brother at all. Instead, he patted his shoulder lovingly, "You hit her in the face last time. , then next time, wouldn’t it be nice if you help her lose face?”
"How to find us? No one has seen us..." Xin Chao Ling was confused.
"The human heart is very simple..." Xin Chaoyang smiled, stopped looking at Xin Chaoling, leaned back slightly, and narrowed his eyes, "We step on whoever she hates, and we protect whoever she likes, that's all."
Xin Chaoling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, his expression changed drastically and he looked at Xin Chaoyang.
"No...it can't be..." he stammered. This matter is easy to say and difficult to say. To embarrass that little beauty in public, he has always been famous for protecting flowers. Said, that is simply fatal.
What's more, for doing such a thing, the little beauty must hate him, and this Mrs. Gu is afraid that she will not be much better to herself. Of course, on the other hand, she also understands that his belief in Chao Ling is nothing but insignificant at home. They were straightforward and heartless, and expressed their Xin family's position and attitude towards Mrs. Gu straightforwardly and straightforwardly.
As Xin Chaoyang said, it was just a play between children. For the Xin family, Mrs. Gu could feel relieved, but she was disabled after all. . . .
Looking at Xin Chaoling's disgraced look, Xin Chaoyang frowned slightly.
"Chaoling, you're just a woman, you don't have to be like this." Xin Chaoyang said slowly, his voice was calm and natural, but it revealed a bit of indifference.
"I don't think Mrs. Gu is so...cautious," Xin Chaoling said hesitantly.
The little beauty has always been proud and arrogant. She has never been wronged at all in Jiankang City. If she is suddenly humiliated in public, then the little beauty should not throw herself into Mochou Lake in anger. . . . .
Xin Chaoyang glanced at him, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Don't forget, Mrs. Gu is also a daughter. Even though she is a disciple of Mr. Liu, she is still a teenage girl. She is jealous and jealous. This is her daughter. By nature, even if she didn't say it at the time, or even looked down on you, I can guarantee that she must be a little happy in her heart, and even she might not be aware of it."
"I would like to ask, who in this world is selfless at heart? Who doesn't like to see people who hate being trampled under their feet? This feeling of joy has nothing to do with morality, it is actually human nature."
"Chaoling, don't forget who you are." Xin Chaoyang said lightly, closed his eyes and said no more.
"Yes, brother." Xin Chao Ling bowed his head and said.
On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, the new year officially began for the Zhou Dynasty. Shops were closed, officials took annual holidays, and every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Because of the funeral of the old patriarch, the whole street in the Gu family seemed very plain, but you can still see from every I can feel the joy of the New Year on my face.
There were more and more dinner parties in the clan. Wearing a black fur cotton robe with glittering gold and holding a snow-green velvet flower, Mrs. Cao immediately attracted the attention of many people when she walked into the ladies' guest room.
"Look, look." A woman bumped her hand against Ms. Guo, who was joking with another person, "Look at your fourth daughter-in-law..."
When Guo, who was wearing a warm hat, heard the name, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but droop.
"What's there to see? It's not like I've never seen that shabby look before..." She glanced over there as she spoke, and her voice suddenly stopped.
Under the lotus leaf lamp, Mrs. Cao, who was lightly painted with pink and white, sat quietly. She looked no less impressive in the room full of greenery. She sat there with a steady but not boring attitude, and a bright but not tacky appearance.
