"Xiao Qian, cheer up. It will be a shame for a patient to see you looking so listless so early in the morning..." Shopkeeper Li passed by the counter and saw Xiao Qian, who was in charge of dispensing medicine, lying on the counter bored and doing nothing. He stopped and patted him on the shoulder, pointing to the medicinal herbs that had just been dried on the side, and said, "Well... you help me sort the herbs first, and then I'll weigh them and put them in the medicine cabinet." After that, he took the abacus, walked to the counter, and started to calculate the bills for the past few days.
Xiao Qian yawned, stretched himself, and said slowly, "Manager Li, you should take a rest. Doctor Xu has taken over the post of the head of the Three Emperors Association today. He will not be seeing patients. The people of Suzhou know this. Even if they are sick, they will go to other pharmacies for treatment and will not come to our Bao'an Hall..."
"Even if no one comes to see a doctor, there will always be someone who wants to get medicine. The sick will not stop getting medicine just because the doctor is not seeing patients..." Shopkeeper Li made a clattering sound on the abacus beads. It didn't take long for him to calculate the accounts of the past few days. He let out a long sigh, closed the account book with satisfaction, and looked up to see Xiao Qian still sitting there without moving. He frowned and shook his head, "Xiao Qian..." Just as he was about to say something to him, he looked up and saw two men walking in. So he didn't bother to educate Xiao Qian, and quickly turned around the counter to greet them.
The two men who came in first were dressed in brocade clothes and had jade pendants on their waists. They were obviously from a wealthy family. They were young and handsome, but their eyes were a little cold and sharp, and there was a sense of arrogance between their brows, which made people want to stay away from them. The one following behind the wealthy young man should be his servant. The two entered the Baoan Hall. Without waiting for Manager Li to entertain them, the servant dragged a chair from the side and placed it behind the wealthy young man, saying respectfully, "Sir, please sit down."
The rich young man sat down on the chair, glanced at Bao'an Tang indifferently, frowned, and a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Are you two here to see a doctor?" Shopkeeper Li looked at the rich young man sitting there with a smile on his face. He sized him up secretly and saw that although the rich young man had a stern face and no expression, his complexion was rosy and he did not look sick. So he shifted his gaze to the servant standing beside him. From this glance, the other party did not look sick either... However, a healthy appearance does not mean that the patient will be healthy after diagnosis. Whether the patient has symptoms or not can only be determined after observation, smelling, asking and palpation.
"What are you looking at?" The servant saw that Li was looking at him, frowned, glared at Li, and shouted: "Is your doctor Xu here? Ask him to come out to see our young master."
Shopkeeper Li said with embarrassment, "Oh, if you two wanted to see our doctor Xu, I'm really sorry, you came at an inopportune time, Doctor Xu is busy today... But I am also a doctor, and ordinary diseases are not difficult for me. I don't know which one of you is sick, I can diagnose him first-"
"You are sick!" Shopkeeper Li was rudely interrupted before he could finish his words. The servant said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. I don't care where your Doctor Xu is now. Anyway, you just need to get him back to see our young master as soon as possible."
Shopkeeper Li didn't care about the other party's rudeness. He smiled and patiently explained, "My lord, it's like this. Our Doctor Xu was appointed by the prefect as the first official leader of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association. Today is the day he officially takes over the Three Emperors Patriarch Association. If you two must see our Doctor Xu, I'm afraid you have to wait until the matter of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association comes to an end."
As soon as Shopkeeper Li finished speaking, he noticed that the young master frowned and snorted coldly, looking slightly unhappy. The servant beside him observed his expression and immediately shouted at Shopkeeper Li: "How unreasonable! Do you still want our young master to wait here for your Doctor Xu?"
"This..." When Shopkeeper Li was in a dilemma, Xiao Qian, who had long been unable to bear the other party's arrogance, blurted out in a bad mood: "Hey... If you don't want to wait, you can leave. Who would ask you to wait here?" He glanced at the rich young man and muttered disdainfully: "Isn't it just that your family is rich... Just because you are rich, you can treat our Bao'an Hall as your own backyard? You can do whatever you want? Ridiculous!"
The servant had obviously heard what Xiao Qian had muttered. His face suddenly changed and he shouted, "You ignorant thing, do you know who our young master is? You are so bold as to be so rude!"
Xiao Qian curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Tsk! I don't care who you are! Anyway, I'm telling you, our doctor Xu is not here. If you want to see a doctor, please come early tomorrow..."
"Asshole!" The servant grabbed Xiao Qian, pulled him by the collar, and said coldly, word by word: "Listen carefully - our young master is the son of the current Prime Minister Liang. If you know what's good for you, you'd better go and find your Doctor Xu now. Otherwise, if you delay our young master's important affairs, I will make you pay for it!" After that, he pushed Xiao Qian away.
Xiao Qian staggered after being pushed by the servant and nearly fell down. Fortunately, someone helped him up in time - "Madam Bai!" Turning his head and seeing that it was Bai Suzhen who was supporting him, Xiao Qian was overjoyed. He stood firm, raised his hand and pointed at the servant who had just pushed him, and said to Bai Suzhen angrily: "Madam Bai, these two people came to our Bao'an Hall to make trouble early in the morning. Manager Li told them that Doctor Xu was not here, but they -"
"Xiao Qian..." Bai Suzhen raised her hand gently and said softly: "... I know everything." Her eyes fell on Master Liang, and she felt a little surprised - the people from the Liang Palace came too quickly!
"I'm Liang Lian." With a gleam in his eyes, Liang Lian stood up and looked directly at Bai Suzhen, "Miss Bai, are you from the Baoan Hall..."
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, opened her red lips, and exhaled: "Shopkeeper."
"Okay..." Liang Lian raised his eyebrows and said directly, "I heard that Xu Xian from Bao'an Hall can cure the poison of Hedinghong, and he is a famous doctor in Suzhou Prefecture. It just so happens that my father has fallen ill, so I came to Suzhou Prefecture in person to find a famous doctor to treat him. Since Xu Xian is a famous doctor in Suzhou Prefecture, he is naturally the first choice. As long as he can cure my father's illness, the reward is not a problem. My Liang Palace can afford it. So Miss Bai, please let Xu Xian go with me to Lin'an Prefecture."
