Chapter Seven Recognition

This man is none other than Shen Zhongqing, who has just returned in triumph to serve as the country's general. He is also the husband Zhen Shiniang has not seen for five years. Today, he is out on business and stops by to buy donkey-hide gelatin for his fifth concubine, Chu Xinyi.

"Rong Sheng, don't be rude!" After only a few words, Rong Sheng used his name, which sounded like he was bullying others. Shen Zhongqing opened his mouth to stop him.

The voice was not loud, but it was very majestic. Rong Sheng did not dare to say anything anymore and stood aside in a dignified manner.

General of the auxiliary country?!

Li Qi was startled, and then his eyes shone, "...are you the prisoner at Meridian Gate, the famous auxiliary general of the Zhou Dynasty?" He bowed to Shen Zhongqing respectfully, "They are all young ones. General, please forgive me. General, please take a seat." He turned around and told the waiter at the drug store who was standing aside, "Hurry up and serve tea to the general. Let's make the package of Dahongpao that Fu paid a million dollars for!"

"The store is so polite..." Shen Zhongqing stood still and said with a gentle expression, "I heard that the donkey-hide gelatin you sell is very good. Can the store sell more of it?" He also thought that Li Qi was lying when he said there was no stock. people.

With such a best-selling medicine, no one will miss the opportunity. Even if it is really out of stock, it should be replenished in three or two days, and it cannot be postponed to next month.

Li Qi's forehead started to sweat. "You really didn't lie to the general." He swallowed, "This abbreviated donkey-hide gelatin was written by the famous Dr. Jian in Wutong Town. You don't know, sir, that Dr. Jian's body is too strong." If you don't have enough strength, you can make up to seventy or eighty kilograms per month at most. They were sold out within a few days of delivery... If you want to buy more, you have to wait." He rubbed his hands and looked at Shen Zhongqing, "If you really want it, sir, Just leave your address and when the goods arrive next month, I will deliver them to your house personally..." After saying that, Li Qi looked at Shen Zhongqing eagerly.

If you can curry favor with this great general of the auxiliary country and get into the army's medicine business, it will be a huge source of wealth!

"Oh, that's it..." Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Shen Zhongqing nodded in disappointment.

He just heard Chu Xinyi mention it when he was about to go out, so he came over on the way. He didn't have to buy it. When he saw that the medicine hall did not have it, he didn't hesitate, so he turned around and walked out.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Li Qi was disappointed. He suddenly remembered that Zhen Shiniang was in the medicine hall, and hurriedly called Shen Zhongqing, "By the way, General Shen, Doctor Jian will..." While shouting, he turned around, Where is the shadow of Zhen Shiniang?

Li Qi was startled, his last words stuck in his throat, and he stared blankly at Shen Zhongqing who slowly turned around.

"...What?" Shen Zhongqing also followed his gaze and looked at Feng Xi, the sitting doctor.

"Xiao... Xiao... I want to say that Dr. Jian lives at the east end of the town. General, would you like me to take you to see if there is any donkey-hide gelatin in her place... The general doesn't know, but Dr. Jian has superb medical skills. Specializing in the treatment of various difficult and complicated diseases..." Li Qi circled what he just said in shock, his eyes constantly looking around, and secretly thought, "I haven't settled the donkey-hide gelatin account this month. Where has she gone in this moment?" Thinking of Zhen Shiniang's stunning beauty, he vaguely hoped that she could take this opportunity to get close to the popular general in front of him, and his words were unknowingly filled with flattery.

I heard that the general had five aunts in his family, all of whom were more beautiful than the other. They were obviously also lustful. With Doctor Jian’s stunning beauty, it would be strange if he looked down on him!

Looking thoughtfully at where Zhen Shiniang had just sat, Shen Zhongqing shook his head, "No need..." As he walked out of the medicine hall, he suddenly paused and exclaimed, "I remembered!"

"...What did the uncle remember?" Rong Sheng asked puzzledly.

"That patient just now!" Shen Zhongqing said, raising his feet and walking out.

He didn't know that Zhen Shiniang was here to sell medicine. He thought she was a patient who came to see a doctor. He remembered it. No wonder he felt that she looked familiar as soon as he entered the house. She seemed to be the one who was abandoned in his ancestral house five years ago. His wife, especially her tranquil eyes, had a profound impression on him that night five years ago.

That's why he was a little surprised when he met her eyes just now.

Although five years is not a long time, from a young girl of thirteen to an eighteen-year-old who exudes the charm of a mature woman, especially with a new soul, Zhen Shiniang has changed quite a lot, and she She was now dressed in commoner clothes, but she was not the same as before. It was normal for Shen Zhongqing not to recognize her at first glance.

He vaguely remembered that she slipped out quietly while he was talking to Li Qi, and Shen Zhongqing quickly chased her outside.

The streets are empty, where is her shadow?

"...What's wrong with her? What disease is she suffering from?" Shen Zhongqing frowned and looked at the empty street, wondering in his heart.

Suddenly, he turned around and walked back into the drug store.

"General, what are you going to do?" Rong Sheng chased after him in confusion.

Zhen Shiniang stepped out from behind a pillar not far away, looking at Shen Zhongqing's back disappearing into the medicine hall, she let out a long breath.

It was so embarrassing just now!

She has never been attracted to any man in her two lives, and today she finally met someone whom she fell in love with at first sight. Who would have thought it would be her venomous husband who was so good on the outside but was a scumbag on the inside!

That night five years ago, he was standing in the dark corridor, separated by a bead curtain. She didn't see his face at all. She didn't expect that he was so cool. No wonder the original owner of her body would die for him. Yes, thinking that Rongsheng would inform her of her family a little later, she would approach him and ask him to go with her to get donkey-hide gelatin from home. Zhen Shiniang wished she could dig a hole and bury herself.

Walking all the way east, Zhen Shiniang frowned and thought, "...What did he want to do after chasing him out in a hurry just now?"

"Did you recognize me?"

He is different from her. He has neither lost his memory nor changed his soul. Even if he didn't recognize her at first sight after five years, he can still remember her after thinking about it, right?

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Zhen Shiniang secretly said something bad, felt for some money in her pocket, and hurriedly hired a carriage and went straight to the Shen family's ancestral home.
