Even if you want to hide it, it's useless. There are so many people on the street. It's easy to find out about Gu Shiba's background. What's more, Gu Shiba has admitted that she is Liu Gong's disciple. It's obvious that she won't hide it anymore, so she might as well do it. A smooth favor.
The three of them came out of Peng Yizhen's medicine shop. They felt a little regretful that they missed the lady by just one step, but overall they were very happy.
"Grandpa, since Miss Gu has just left the city not long ago, why don't we hurry up and chase her..." the young man said.
"Not good." The old man glanced at the young man, with a slight disappointment on his face. As his eldest grandson, he should be considered a leader among the younger generations, but he always felt that something was missing.
"Shopkeeper Peng said that Mrs. Gu has an elder in her family who is ill and is on her way home. It's really rude for us to block the road and talk so rashly..." Shopkeeper Wang liked this nephew very much and was busy. He spoke.
"Oh, I just want to see if we can help..." the young man blushed slightly and said sarcastically.
The old man glanced at him and said, "Well, now that we know where Miss Gu has gone, it will be easier. There are many opportunities to help."
"Grandpa, are you going to Jiankang?" The young man responded very quickly this time.
"Of course I want to go," the old man twirled his beard and said with a smile, "Look, the medicine industry will soon become lively..."
Hearing what the old man said, Shopkeeper Wang and the young man looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"Uncle," Shopkeeper Wang looked at the old man with a look of worry on his face, "You've had a bumpy journey, why don't you rest here for a day, and then we'll continue on our way..."
"No," the old man refused without hesitation and said earnestly, "Hong Bin, this is a great opportunity for us in Baohe Hall. We must seize it firmly, never miss it, and make friends before others. This little lady Gu..."
He twisted his beard and smiled again, "And we also have this opportunity. Hong Bin, you were the only one who got Liu Gong's disciple's medicine that day. If I guessed correctly, this should be her first medicine. …..How many people are waiting to see the jokes of our Baohe Hall…”
The old man laughed heartily as he spoke.
Shopkeeper Wang and the young man also laughed.
"Grandpa, why do we hide this good news? Those little people are jumping up and down, which makes me really angry. Why don't we tell them immediately and see how they end up?" the young man said angrily.
"Do you think we can hide this news?" The old man glanced at him and smiled, "Silent is better than sound at this time..."
The young man was stunned, "Grandpa, are you saying that people already know that we sell real Liu Gong medicine?"
The old man nodded and looked at the small county town streets that were small but crowded with people, "I'm afraid a lot of people have already come this way..."
He straightened his expression and looked at the two people in front of him, "So, we must rush to Jiankang as soon as possible to find out the origin of this little lady Gu. If we cannot invite her to our Baohe Hall, we must also collect the maximum amount of medicinal materials from her. Her medicine shop, remember, you can only make friends with her, you must not offend her..."
Once a great pharmacist like this is offended, with just one word from him, he can completely use the power of countless medicine shops to destroy one of your medicine shops. The medicine shops that want to lend him power are afraid of queuing up...
The most important thing is that if you offend her, you will offend the master behind her. That is the real master.
Shopkeeper Wang and the young man responded solemnly, not daring to stay any longer. They helped the old man get on the carriage. They got on their horses, raised their whips and urged the horses away.
As these three people left Xianren County, Mr. Dong from Hezhong County got the news.
"Did you read that correctly?" he asked a steward in front of him, holding a half-cut medicinal material in his hand.
"No, it's absolutely true, it's Mr. Wang from Su'an Baohe Hall..." the manager said with certainty. He was worried when he thought about shopkeeper Wang's failure to sell medicine a few days ago, "You said this Baohe Hall doesn't want to scheme. What do we do? After all, we have something to do with it."
"We are pharmacists. What matters to us is only the medicinal materials. What does those personnel have to do with us?" Mr. Dong glared at the housekeeper with a serious look.
The butler noticed the gaffe and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, not daring to say any more.
Mr. Dong put down the medicinal materials in his hand and frowned slightly thinking about this.
"Wang Yiyi...I heard that he has been focusing on taking care of his old age and having fun in the past few years. He didn't even leave the front door. Why did he suddenly come to Xianren County?" He murmured and repeated in his mouth. Could it be that he bought fake medicine a few days ago... . Impossible, there is no need for him to personally take action for a fake medicine, unless... Mr. Dong's expression suddenly changed, "Could it be...?"
He stood up suddenly, "Dong Ping, go quickly, go to Xianren County to find that..."
He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't remember the name at the moment. He said that for a long time, which only made the person in charge sweat anxiously.
"Hi, Peng Yizhen's pharmacy..." Mr. Dong stamped his feet and finally said, "Bring me some medicinal materials..."
The manager was stunned for a moment, "What to buy? How much to buy?"
"Look at what you're buying and try to order everything..." Mr. Dong said, urging him to go quickly.
The manager didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly prepared the car. He was a little surprised along the way. He naturally knew that Peng Yizhen was just a charlatan with a background as a doctor. After some tricks, White Wolf got a drug store with nothing and opened it.
mediocre people often make mischief
After sending away the three people from Baohe Hall in Beijing, Peng Yizhen sat in the lobby in a daze, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes smiling silly, sometimes smiling bitterly.
Is Shiba Niang the apprentice of the great pharmacist? Liu Gong's apprentice? It is said that Mr. Liu had no apprentices. After he suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, everyone regretted that there was no successor to his old man's mantle. So, in the past ten years since he disappeared, he had been focusing on taking care of his apprentices
No, judging from Eighteen Niang's age, she wouldn't have followed him since she was born, right
This incident was too sudden and mysterious. . . . . . .
"Hey, Peng Yizhen." A voice remembered above his head.
Peng Yizhen was startled, and when he looked up, he recognized Dong Ping, the chief steward of Mr. Dong's family. This person was most accustomed to flattering the superiors and suppressing the inferiors. When he saw them every day, he had eyes on the top of his head like little doctors. Peng Yizhen looked up and recognized Dong Ping. Yizhen has always disliked him.
"Butler Dong, what brought you here?" Although he was feeling uncomfortable, he also knew the rules of businessmen that friendship and anger make money, so he stood up and said with a smile.
Dong Ping snorted and glanced over, he could see that the medicine store was about to close.
"What? It's closing? Take care of you. I happen to be short of some medicinal materials and I'm in a hurry to use them. If you have any other medicinal materials, weigh them as well," he said. "Be quick with your movements. I'm busy."
