"I don't want to be scolded by my grandpa," Xin Chaoyang said with a smile, walking closer.
His sentence corresponds to Gu Shiba Niang's sentence "I know everything, but I don't know that I am wrong."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy for Mr. Xin to find this opportunity." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
The two smiled at each other.
"When did you come to Beijing?" Gu Shiba Niang asked, extending her hand to invite her, "I have reserved the Zuixiang Pavilion. Young Master, come and sit down?"
"Isn't it convenient?" Xin Chaoyang asked.
"It's very convenient, and it saves me a meal." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile, leaning aside to let him go.
Xin Chaoyang stopped refusing and walked ahead of her, asking, "How do you say this?"
Gu Shiba Niang crossed her hands and replied: "I invited Mr. Zhang Zhang, the king of Baohe Hall, to thank him for his help. I also invited the families of Su'an Medicine Guild to thank them for their thoughtful arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Young Master If you don’t come, I will go back to Jiankang to invite you. I would like to thank the young master for taking away my worries.”
Xin Chaoyang smiled when he heard this.
Zuixiang Pavilion is the largest private room here. Many servants are guarding the door. When they see them coming, they immediately open the paper door diligently.
The two were seated separately as the guest of honour, fragrant tea and seasonal fruits were served, and the servants and maids retired.
"Ms. Gu can think like this, I feel at ease." Xin Chaoyang drank tea lightly and continued what he just said.
"How do you say this? Am I the kind of ungrateful person in the eyes of the eldest young master?" Gu Shiba Niang said after plastic surgery.
"Ms. Gu was overjoyed when she saw the cold face. Perhaps she was mistaken because of concern." Xin Chaoyang said calmly while twirling the tea cup.
"A cold face doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad heart, and concern doesn't necessarily mean you are sincere." Gu Shiba Niang replied calmly, holding up her tea cup.
There was silence in the room, except for the sound of strings of silk, bamboo, singing and laughter coming from other rooms.
"Ms. Gu is thorough." Xin Chaoyang smiled and raised the tea cup in his hand, "I apologize."
"This thoroughness is hard-won." Gu Shiba Niang toasted in return and smiled slightly, "I thank the young master for his sincerity."
The two drank the tea in one gulp, looked at each other and smiled, and the matter of Xin Chunfang's engagement was finally discussed between them.
There was a bustle outside the door, and accompanied by the old man's hearty laughter, the paper door was opened.
"Mrs. Gu, congratulations."
A group of people from the Su'an medicine shop walked in and said with smiles.
When Gu Shiba Niang heard laughter outside the door, she stood up, returned the favor with a smile, and with the sound of banquet opening, drinks and delicacies came to the table, singers and dancers came in in costumes, and the room was filled with laughter and laughter.
After three rounds of drinking, we became familiar with Gu Shiba Niang.
"Ms. Gu's medicine shop is open, why aren't there any medicines for sale?" someone asked.
"Because we have an appointment with Da Yousheng, we won't sell it to outsiders for the time being." Gu Shiba Niang replied, extending her hand to introduce Xin Chaoyang to everyone.
Most of these medicine shops have branches in various places, and they are no strangers to Jiankang Dayousheng. Especially in the past year, Dayousheng has developed rapidly and become famous in Jiankang, and everyone has heard of it.
Xin Chaoyang held the wine bottle with a smile on his face and greeted everyone present one by one, calling everyone by their surnames accurately.
It seems that Da Yousheng is preparing to establish a foothold in the capital. Everyone looked at each other and realized that it would not be easy for someone else to open a dock in the capital. However, Da Yousheng actually has Gu Niangzi Pharmaceuticals exclusively selling it, so things will be much easier. .
It is difficult for such a great pharmacist to sign a contract with someone. Da Yousheng is really lucky. Based on this, he will inevitably have to deal with him in the future. Everyone suppresses jealousy in their hearts and intends to make friends with him, but Xin Chaoyang is a person who can easily make people feel bad. Even though it was the first time to meet someone I liked, the two sides had a great conversation.
The only exception was Wang Yiyi, who sat aside with a glass of wine and looked at them coldly.
"Mr. Wang seems to have some grudge against Da Yousheng?" Someone laughed softly beside him.
It is a well-known fact that Baohe Tang’s defeat in Jiankang affected the ancestral business and greatly damaged the vitality. The word Jiankang must have been a nightmare for the Baohe Tang Wang family, not to mention that it was Dayousheng who acquired Jiankang. All properties in Kangbaohetang, although shopping malls are like casinos, and they are willing to accept defeat, but the loser will never feel so comfortable when he sees the winner.
Wang Zhang smiled faintly and did not answer, which meant that he did not deny it.
"Mr. Wang, you are so stupid now. If your shop is sold, no one will be able to buy it..." The others laughed in a low voice.
"It's complicated to know who your enemy is, and it's simple to know. Whoever you lose will gain the most, that's who... There are no smart people or stupid people in this world. It's just that one knows it early and knows it late. I just know." Wang Yiyi said, looking at Xin Chaoyang who was whispering to Gu Shiba Niang, not knowing what he said, both of them smiled. They were young and handsome, and they were as young as flowers, which was very pleasing to the eye.
The man put aside the grudge between Wang Yiyi and Jiankang, poked him with his arm, and said with a low smile: "Ms. Gu just said that she still has a one-year pharmaceutical contract with Da Yousheng. I think she has made a contract for the rest of her life. .
"That's not necessarily the case." Wang Zhangzhang said in an indifferent tone, "Everything tomorrow will be unknown."
The man was surprised by his frankness. Then he saw that the old man had lost his aura of twilight, his cloudy eyes were burning with energy, and there was a fighting spirit in his eyes that he had not seen for many years.
Others laughed softly and reached out to pat Wang Yiyi on the shoulder.
"It's such a pity that Mr. Liu has chosen to accept a female disciple. One woman cannot have two husbands, and she cannot have a pet. She is really worried about killing people..." He laughed.
Wang Yiyi looked unconcerned, "The priority is to attack the city, but the priority is to attack the heart. The love between children is of no concern."
"I see you are self-aware and know that there are no suitable people among your grandchildren..." Others laughed.
Having said that, Gu Shiba Niang walked over. Wang Zhang and others hurriedly waved away the singer beside them and asked her to sit down and talk.
When the banquet was over, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the guests and hosts had a great time, and everyone said goodbye and walked out of Zuixiang Pavilion.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people walking across from him. The leader was a thin middle-aged man with a pair of narrow eyes and an expressionless face with an air of aloofness. He didn't care at all about the deliberate flattery and compliments shown by the people around him.
Seeing him, everyone who was saying goodbye to Gu Shiba Niang suddenly expressed surprise.
"Mr. Gu"
"When did Mr. Gu come?"
Everyone came up to say hello with a smile.
The man known as Mr. Gu still had the same expression, but two or three men stood beside him and glanced at the people who came over with a strange look.
"You are all busy meeting Liu Gong's disciples. How can Mr. Gu bother you?" they said, emphasizing on Liu Gong's disciples with full mockery.
These words made everyone a little embarrassed, and they laughed and laughed.
"This is Mengzhou pharmacist Gu Lingyun. Like his respected master Liu Gong, he is also from a pharmaceutical family..." Xin Chaoyang whispered beside Gu Shiba Niang.
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, there were many pharmaceutical masters, and there were naturally more masters in the capital. Since she was a colleague and she was a junior, she naturally wanted to go over and say hello. Before she could make a move, Mr. Gu He walked up to her.
"Are you Liu Gong's disciple?" he asked, looking from bottom to top, frowning slightly, "Is it because you are so talented? How can you accept a female disciple?"
These words showed off the senior's dignity, and the tone was extremely impolite.
"It's all because of the tutor's support." Gu Shiba Niang could only reply.
"Where is Mr. Liu? Is he here too?" Mr. Gu then asked.
The person Gu Shiba Niang is most afraid of being asked is Liu Gong. Every time she answers, her heart is tortured.
Liu Gong may be no longer alive, but she, the only disciple, cannot offer incense. Instead, she still smiles and says, "My master is traveling abroad and has never come."
This is unfilial and unfilial. Gu Shiba Niang’s hands clenched into fists under her sleeves.
"He still has the same temper," Mr. Gu said, looking at Gu Shiba Niang again, "Why don't you, an apprentice, follow? Can you master your skills by listening to these people's compliments?"
These words made the pharmacists present extremely embarrassed.
This was the first time Gu Shiba Niang had seen the bad temper of the so-called great pharmacist, and she really spoke freely without any hesitation.
"Yes, that's what the teacher taught you." Gu Shiba Niang lowered her head and said.
Mr. Gu nodded, said no more, and walked past her inward.
"Oh, by the way," Mr. Gu stopped, turned around and said, "Since you are in the capital, there is a pharmacist meeting in September. Come and participate."
What could the pharmacist be? Gu Shiba Niang was a little hesitant and subconsciously looked at Xin Chaoyang.
Just when Xin Chaoyang was about to speak, a man following Mr. Gu spoke first.
"We, the pharmacists, get together to compete and compare our skills." He said with a strange smile, "Miss Gu, do you dare to come?"
In other words, this is also an opportunity to make a name for yourself? Gu Shiba Niang understands that now that she has the title of Liu Gong's disciple and enjoys a status that other pharmacists may not be able to obtain after decades of hard training, she will inevitably face countless doubts and challenges.
"In this case, I naturally can't miss this event." She replied with a smile.
"Then I'll be waiting for you, Miss Gu." the man said.
After that, he turned around and caught up with Mr. Gu.
"Master, she agreed to come," he whispered.
Mr. Gu nodded without any surprise.
"Master." A gray-haired old man who had been lowering his head behind others suddenly came over and whispered, "Let me compare with her."
He raised his head and saw that it was Mr. Dong whom he had not seen for a while. He looked even older now.
Ever since he coveted Gu Shiba Niang's medicine book, due to Liu Gong's instructions, he no longer had a foothold in the Jiankang medicine world, and the reputation he had gained over the past few decades was wiped out. No one would be willing to accept it.
He was ruined by Liu Gong, so let him stand up again by stepping on Liu Gong's apprentice.
Mr. Gu did not stop, but waved his hand in front of him without leaving any trace, and said in a voice that only the two of them could detect: "Kill her if you have the chance."
A trace of shock flashed across Mr. Dong's face, "Then...then Mr. Liu..."
Mr. Gu narrowed his eyes, a sneer flashed across his face, and walked into the box without answering his words.
