The first day of February in the sixth year of Jianyuan is a good time to get married, have children, travel, and open a business.
Several firecrackers were heard on Medicine Street, indicating that a new business had opened.
"Who is that?" Several pharmacy clerks stood at the door and looked, "Did Mr. Shen's pharmacy sell it?"
"It should have been sold long ago." Someone said, watching with interest a few people over there who were hanging plaques.
"Has the greeting card been sent? Who wrote it?" Someone also asked curiously.
According to the rules, newly opened merchants on Medicine Street must send greeting cards to other old merchants.
"Gu's Shunhe Hall?"
At this time, several drug store shopkeepers were looking at the gilded name cards with some confusion on their faces.
"Didn't you say it was the shopkeeper named Peng?"
"The shopkeeper is the shopkeeper, and there is a boss behind him."
"The surname is Gu? Are you from Jiankang?"
"Jiankang's surname is Gu? Hey, isn't that Mrs. Gu's surname Gu?"
After these words, everyone fell into silence and immediately dispersed. They all reported the news to their masters. If this was true, it would be a big deal.
Gu Shiba Niang helped Cao get out of the car, and Peng Yizhen took Lingbao and Lingyuan out.
"The lady is here." Peng Yizhen said with a smile.
"Congratulations from Shopkeeper Peng." Mrs. Cao smiled, taking out two red envelopes and handing them to Lingbao and Lingyuan, "Come on, you guys have worked hard, you have been cleaning up for so many days..."
"Madam, this is what we should do..." Lingbao whispered, his voice trembling.
The young lady saved her brother's life. She rented a house for them and made clothes for them. Now she lets them work in the drug store. They work and get paid, not slaves...
"Take it, it's Madam's wish." Lingyuan said, reaching out to take it, "Thank you, Madam."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled at him, full of approval.
Lingyuan lowered his head, not daring to look directly at her.
"Same joy, same joy." Peng Yizhen smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
This time he just came to Jiankang with the idea of being a bell doctor. He did not expect to be able to directly work as a sitting doctor in the most prosperous medicine shop street. Moreover, this medicine shop also has his own shares. Although it is very small, it is far away. Far beyond his expectation.
The most important thing is that this pharmacy is opened by Madam Gu. Madam Gu, if this pharmacy doesn't make money, there will be no profitable pharmacy in the world.
It seems that it won't be long before I can get my wife and children.
"Lao Peng and I, He Dehe, met the eldest lady and her family. This is a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations..." He couldn't help but excitedly salute Cao and Gu Shiba Niang.
"Mr. Peng's words are serious." Mrs. Cao hurriedly returned the courtesy and looked at the newly decorated drug store again. Looking at the eye-catching word "Gu's", she couldn't help but get red eyes.
"Eighteenth Mother, aren't you dreaming?" She held her daughter's hand and murmured.
In less than a year, her family already owns two shops of their own. Whether they make money or not, this is something that a family like them would never dare to think about.
Gu Shiba Niang clapped her hand and said with a smile: "No, Mom, this is our pharmacy."
"Madam, let me take you to have a look." Lingbao came over with a smile, helped Cao and went in.
"Have you sent all the famous cards?" Gu Shiba Niang asked Peng Yizhen.
Peng Yizhen nodded. Before he could speak, he heard a commotion outside the door, accompanied by a male voice.
"Take it off for me."
The sound reached Gu Shiba Niang's ears, and she stood up suddenly.
Before Peng Yizhen heard the truth, Lingyuan's expression changed and he strode out.
The young man standing outside the door looked solemn and his eyes were heavy.
Two or three young men were placing stools under the door.
"What are you doing?" Lingyuan yelled, kicking away the boy's stool.
"So bold!" the boys shouted, rolling up their sleeves and about to wave their fists, but Shen Anlin raised his hand to stop them.
Shen Anlin did not dismount, but glanced at Lingyuan coldly, his eyes falling on the newly painted door plaque.
"It's just a plaque." He said calmly.
"Master Lin..." Lingyuan looked at him and said.
This title made Shen Anlin suddenly turn his eyes and stare at this young man. He saw that he was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing ordinary robes, with a scar on his brow flying into his hair.
Master Lin, this title is only used by people in the family. In any case, to the outside world, he is still the eldest son of the third wife of the Shen family, the unchangeable eldest master, Captain Shen.
This young man... his eyes became as dark as midnight.
Lingyuan did not retreat, "...Shunhe Hall has changed owners..."
"The medicine shop has changed owners, but the plaque doesn't say it changed owners." Shen Anlin said, letting go of the reins and dismounting, and the boys automatically moved out of the way.
He walked closer step by step, "Why can't I take off my plaque?"
He is eighteen years old this year, but he is not like other rosy boys raised by rich people at home. He has been on the battlefield and killed gold thieves. At this time, he became really angry, and the hidden anger spread. He walked step by step, giving People bring a strong sense of coercion.
"So what if I can pick you off?" he said, already standing under the door plaque, shaking off his cloak, as if he could take it off with just a stretch of his hand.
Lingyuan was ready to attack and prepared a blocking stance.
"Master Shen, Master Shen." Peng Yizhen came out with a laugh, patted Ling Yuan and pulled him behind him to resolve the tense atmosphere.
Shen Anlin took a step back, regained his calmness, and looked at Peng Yizhen.
"The young man is ignorant and bumped into Master Shen. Your Excellency..." Peng Yizhen smiled and bowed his hands.
"Let's pick up the plaque." Shen Anlin glanced at him, without any emotion or anger on his face, and said to the boys behind him.
The boys rushed forward.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Peng Yizhen hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What?" Shen Anlin looked at him and asked.
"Master Shen," Peng Yizhen looked embarrassed and frightened. He took out a document from his arms and said with a wry smile, "Master Shen, I am a small business owner. Logically speaking, Master Shen, if you want this, it only takes one sentence. However, I spent money all this, and I hope Master Shen will be kind enough to let me go..."
When he said this, he bowed and bowed, looking helpless and frightened, which looked extremely pitiful in the eyes of outsiders.
There were more and more voices pointing fingers at Shen Anlin.
"Shopkeeper Peng," Shen Anlin's expression changed slightly, he looked at Peng Yizhen and said, "Just say whatever you want, no need to act."
Peng Yizhen lowered his head and a smile appeared on his face. When he raised his head, he still looked sad, and handed him the document in his hand.
"Look, this is all agreed upon, and the door plaque will be transferred together. This, this also costs money..."
Shen Anlin naturally did not handle the signing of the documents, but the steward of the family handled it. Ever since she heard Shen Anlin say that the drug store was left by his biological mother, Gu Shiba Niang became more thoughtful. When the third master's family signed the document, they specifically asked for a name on the door plaque and were willing to pay more money. When the steward asked for instructions, the master of the inner house naturally had no doubts and happily gave it to him.
Normal shops don't have this habit, so Shen Anlin naturally didn't know there was such an inside story. When he saw the documents, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Master Shen, please don't embarrass me. It's not easy for me to stand firm when I come from the countryside..." Peng Yizhen said with his hands bowed.
Looking up again, Shen Anlin turned around and strode away.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master Shen." Peng Yizhen said with a smile.
"Master..." The boys looked at each other.
"Let's go." Shen Anlin said solemnly, got on his horse, and the horse spun in a circle. He glanced at the shiny black door plaque again and held the reins tightly.
Gu's Shunhe Tang... Gu's Shunhe Tang...
He cast his gaze into the shop. There was light outside and darkness inside, and he could only vaguely see a figure standing inside, Pingting.
The horse spun around again, as if reminding its owner to move forward.
Shen Anlin's eyes stayed in the shop, and he repeated this thought in his mind, whether he should go in and see the real owner.
A burst of noise came from outside the crowd.
"Give me, let me..."
Seven or eight men in bright clothes came over with smiles on their faces, followed by boys carrying or holding gift boxes.
"Congratulations," they all said as they rushed up.
Are you here to congratulate me? The people around him were greatly surprised. They often walked on Medicine Street, and everyone naturally recognized the identities of these men. Among them, the fat man as big as a ball was the boss of Tong Shende’s Jiankang No. 1, and he was following him. Everyone was squeezing around, and the man who wanted to be the first to walk in was the boss of Hengchang...
Shen Anlin also looked slightly stunned, with a thoughtful expression on his face. It seemed that this new owner had a good background...
Compared to the surprise of others, Peng Yizhen was much calmer.
"Same joy." He raised his head and politely returned the greeting to the people who came up to him.
Everyone had already crowded to the door, talking to Peng Yizhen, but all their eyes were looking inside. When they saw the people in the hall, their eyes lit up.
"Congratulations, Madam Gu..." People rushed in, squeezing Peng Yizhen and Lingyuan away from the door.
There was a burst of thank you and laughter in the hall.
Peng Yizhen chuckled, shook his clothes, and went in with his head raised.
"Wow, this drug store has quite a reputation..." There was lively discussion all around.
"rich?"
"Powerful?"
"Is the medicine good?"
Everyone was talking incessantly, covering up the occasional soft voice of a woman coming from the hall.
It must have been Shen Anlin who reined in her horse and spun around in a circle, then finally spurred it on and drove away.
Seeing him leaving, Lingyuan, who had been standing outside the door, breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and went in.
The news spread quickly, and the newly-renovated Shunhe Hall was crowded with visitors. There were far more colleagues coming and going to congratulate and give gifts than to consult and sell medicine.
In Dayoushengxin House, several stewards of the family were sitting around Xinchaoyang, and one of them was reading out a list.
"So, we went to thirteen houses in total?" Xin Chaoyang said after listening.
"Yes." The steward replied.
"There are 360 medicine shops and sheds in Jiankang City, and less than half have been visited..." Xin Chaoyang seemed to be sighing, tapping his hand on the table. "So, a snowstorm is gathering..."
"Chaoyang, do you believe it or not?" an older man suddenly asked.
Shouldn't I ask at this time whether to go or not? Why do you ask such nonsense
But none of the people present looked strange. Instead, they all looked at Xin Chaoyang with some solemnity.
Xin Chaoyang faced everyone's gaze, opened his hand, and revealed a small pill in his palm. It had a pure color and fragrant smell. He shook his hand, and the pill rolled around in his palm.
He raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile on his lips.
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway," he said, clasping his hands.

Well, because of the original intention, the character of the heroine this time is not that upright or patient. Please forgive me for this. People need to grow up, and they have different ideas because of different environments. It’s not that who is bad or who is good. Everyone needs to be more tolerant. Everyone has their own reasons for having dark thoughts, so everyone should be patient when watching.
A solemn reminder, don’t imitate, everyone should still be a kind and good child.
