Thirty-six years after Baishuang City was founded, an autumn rain took away the residual heat of summer.
Baishuang City is a small city located in the south of Yunxuan Kingdom. The city walls are made of white stone, and it looks as white as frost from a distance, hence its name. Although the city is small, the people are simple and simple, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Of course... there are exceptions.
"Long Wenmu is here! Long Wenmu is here!" On the peaceful street, an unknown voice shouted in an earth-shattering voice.
The crowd parted to both sides in panic, noisily looking towards somewhere on the street. In the distance, a figure strolled towards them.
Long Wenmu, seventeen years old.
A young man, neither tall nor short, moderately fat and thin, with a barely straight back and not outstanding in every aspect, with a slightly handsome face.
Wearing a dazzling golden gown, her long flowing hair was tied back casually, and she was walking like a dragon and a tiger. She was holding a folding fan, and there were several large ink characters on the fan: "Young Master Dragon Came on the Moon", which was not delicate at all.
.
Dressed in an impeccable manner, his behavior was somewhere between bohemian and pretentious. Almost everyone knew that the eldest son of the Long family was showing off again.
Long Wenmu was not a native of Baishuang City. Three years ago, an unprecedented beast wave occurred in the south that shocked the entire Yunxuan Kingdom. At that time, countless monsters rioted. During the chaos, the population of Baishuang City was in turmoil. Some people left and some came to settle here.
Long Wenmu came to Baishuang City at that time.
When he was still young, he settled here. I don't know where he got a sum of money to buy a mansion and named it "Long Mansion". Since then, he has been calling himself "The Young Master of the Long Family".
The title "Long Shao" also started to spread throughout Baishuang City from that time.
There are not many wealthy families in a small town like Baishuang City, and Long Wenmu is considered one of the best.
No one knows the origin of Long Wenmu, and no one knows his life experience. No one knows why the young man who came here had such financial resources. The only thing that is known is that he has been relying on other people since he settled here for three years.
His behavior made Baishuang City angry and resentful.
He is not a treacherous person, nor has he done anything harmful to nature, but there is only one thing - he is hated by others.
Long Wenmu swung his folding fan and stepped into the door of the drug store.
"Pin Yao Xuan" is the only medicine shop in Baishuang City, and its business is usually booming. At this time, customers in twos and threes gathered in the lobby, and the shopkeeper and the waiter were very busy.
The mustache shopkeeper was so busy that he was sweating. When he heard the movement at the door, he looked up and his old face suddenly twisted, which was worse than eating coptis.
"Mr. Hu, you're fine." Long Wenmu walked forward with a big smile on his face.
"Long Wenmu... why are you here again?" Shopkeeper Hu slapped his forehead, cursing the bad luck in his heart.
Long Wenmu put away the folding fan, put one hand on the counter, and reached out to pinch shopkeeper Hu's mustache: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and your mustache is getting longer and more beautiful."
Shopkeeper Hu slapped his hand away and raised his eyebrows vigorously.
"There are no rules if you use your hands or feet!"
"Why is Mr. Hu so out of touch? We are all familiar with each other. I see you look good today. What happy event has happened to you?"
"A happy event? There are no happy events, but there are quite a few bad ones." Shopkeeper Hu hummed, squinting at him.
"Forget it, I won't tell you more, just grab the medicine." Long Wenmu reached out and slapped a prescription on the table.
"It's not good to harm anyone. You come to harm me every day." Shopkeeper Hu opened his eyes and frowned, speaking indignantly, but he still picked up all the medicinal materials.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you can't say that. I don't rob families, so how can I bring disaster? I'm here to take care of your business every day."
"Stop talking nonsense, fifty coppers." Shopkeeper Hu obviously didn't want to say more to him, so he wrapped the medicinal materials in oil paper and threw them on the table.
Long Wenmu reached out and took it, weighed it in his hand, and frowned slightly: "We have all known each other for a long time. I think this pack of medicinal materials is only... five coppers at most. You are not being honest if you sell me fifty coppers.
ah."
Shopkeeper Hu really wanted to hit him with a bag of five coppers? Did he think it was Chinese cabbage?
"If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, get out." Shopkeeper Hu didn't give him a good look at all. Everyone knows what kind of character Long Wenmu is like. Who is the thickest, most shameless and the most annoying person in the city?
Disgusted, that must be this person.
Wen Mu, this name sounds elegant, but the person with this name is not elegant at all.
Long Wenmu was as shameless as the city wall and showed a sly smile: "Mr. Hu, please tell your conscience, I have taken good care of your business."
"Take care of me?" Shopkeeper Hu puffed his beard and glared, "You have been here in Baishuang City for three years. Three years ago, my medicine shop was bustling with people. Since you came, how many people are there in my shop? Even three of my medicine shop clerks have left!"
"Mr. Hu, what you said is wrong." Long Wenmu waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously with an innocent look on his face, "There is no one in your medicine shop, what does it have to do with me?"
"It has nothing to do with you? If you hadn't been so troublesome every time you came here, how could my place be so deserted?"
Long Wenmu listened to Shopkeeper Hu's bloody accusations, pinched his nose, and pretended not to hear. He smacked his mouth, then leaned forward again, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Hu, I have been grateful to you for all these years, and I have been deeply grateful to you."
I feel sorry for you, so let me help you..."
After that, he trotted to a woman buying medicine: "This is not Aunt Li, you are also buying medicine, what a coincidence. Let me tell you, this boss Hu is really a good person. He is honest and honest.
You came to the right place to buy medicine... Hey, Aunt Li, why are you running away? I haven't finished my words yet... Isn't this Brother Zhang? Hahahaha, you and I are destined to meet here.
, being able to buy medicine from Mr. Hu’s family is really a blessing from my previous life. Do you want me to give you some advice... Hey, hey, why are you leaving? Let’s talk some more..."
"That's enough for you!" Seeing Long Wenmu darting in and out of the crowd like a loach, Shopkeeper Hu slapped the table with a loud bang, and then slapped the chairs after slapping the table.
What's so shameless is that such a disaster is really rare to come out in a hundred years. He is the one who stands up to the wind and stinks for ten miles.
Just as Long Wenmu had just shamelessly sneaked into the crowd, shopkeeper Hu saw five or six people who wanted to buy medicine leave in a hurry. They clearly didn't want to get close to him. Shopkeeper Hu wanted to strangle him to death. Let's do a business
Is it easy? Shopkeeper Hu was so heartbroken that he suffered heartache, stomachache, liverache and toothache.
What kind of evil was done to cause such a shameless stinking?
"I'll sell you five coppers. Grab your stuff and get out, or I'll break your legs!" Shopkeeper Hu almost knocked down the table, his face turned yellow with anger.
Long Wenmu was overjoyed when he heard this, and threw away the medical bag in his hand: "Haha, I know Mr. Hu that you are smart and soft-spoken... Well, by the way, the medicinal materials you gave me are not lacking, right?"
"Get out!" Shopkeeper Hu was furious, grabbed a teacup next to him and threw it over.
Long Wenmu, although this person is not a treacherous person, nor has he done any heinous things, but as long as he is around, no one, ghost, god or Buddha will be able to live in peace.
I still agree with what I said, this guy will be hated wherever he goes.
Long Wenmu raised his palm lightly. He usually looked wild, but it had to be said that he would occasionally show off his skills that people couldn't see through. He lightly touched the cup body with his fingers, turned it around and put the cup into his arms.
middle.
Although Long Wenmu claims to be the eldest son of the Long family, he actually has no relatives or teachers in Baishuang City. No one knows where he learned this incredible skill.
By the time everyone reacted, he had already disappeared at the door.
Only a light word came from outside the door: "Thank you, Mr. Hu, for the cup. I will come again next time."
There are a lot of cars and horses flowing in Baishuang City. Although it is a small town, it still has a prosperous scene.
In front of a mansion on West Street, Long Wenmu returned in triumph with a fat rooster that kept crowing in his right hand and large and small bags in his left hand.
The mansion is the largest building on West Street. The plaque on the door has the words "Dragon Mansion" written in Chinese characters.
"The young master is back." Long Wenmu kicked open the door, "Where's the girl? Where is the girl? Come help me quickly."
Following his shouting, the thumping of footsteps was heard in the distance, and a beautiful figure ran over from around the corner.
The lavender dress swayed in the wind, reflecting the bright sunshine, and the black hair swayed, with a refreshing softness. A slightly slender figure appeared in front of Long Wenmu.
She was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright eyes, white teeth, and pretty cheeks. She was not tall, but she looked extremely energetic.
Although it has not yet bloomed like a green jujube, it already has the beginnings of a beautiful woman.
Her clothes are not gorgeous, but they are clean and tidy. The spring is bright and the purple swallows come to their nests.
"Master, you are back." The little girl's voice was as clear and sweet as an oriole emerging from the valley.
"Ye Lan, don't stand still and carry things." Long Wenmu couldn't free his hands, so he kicked the door shut with his heel.
Yelan smiled and sighed softly, and stepped forward to help Long Wenmu carry a few things: "Master, where did you go to tinker with so many things?"
The large and small bags in Long Wenmu's hands were stacked as high as a person's height. Just by looking at them, one could tell that they were extremely heavy. However, Long Wenmu held them as if they were nothing.
"I am pleased." Long Wenmu chuckled and waved the fat chicken in his hand like a show off, "I chose the fattest one and bought it for six copper coins. How about it?"
Ye Lan glanced at him narrowly and curled his lips: "For normal business, this costs at least thirty copper coins. Young Master, you really don't know why people in Baishuang City hate you? You are such a big man, at least you have some self-knowledge. I have been your maid for so long.
, there is no light on the face at all.”
"Stop talking nonsense, you are still complaining about having chicken soup tonight. Why do you think I am talking so dryly outside?"
"Just to take advantage." Ye Lan glanced sideways at Long Wenmu and pointed it out mercilessly.
Yelan is the only maid in the entire Long family. She met Long Wenmu three years ago and followed her to Baishuang City. Since then, she has always regarded herself as a personal maid. In the past three years, Ansheng has not experienced much in her life, but because of her young master
His reputation made him look down upon him a lot.
The two of them walked through the empty courtyard one after another. It was quiet and elegant, with only a few sparrows on the treetops chirping non-stop, and they were not tired.
The huge Long Family, one of the most luxurious houses in Baishuang City, should have been full of guests and servants, but in fact there were only two masters and servants living inside.
"Girl." Long Wenmu shouted.
"Master, do you want to change clothes or catch up on your sleep? I haven't finished cleaning the house on the west side yet. If there is trouble, I'm sorry that I don't have time to accompany you." Ye Lan followed Long Wenmu step by step, grinning and saying.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Lan is Long Wenmu's maid, but when there are no outsiders, Ye Lan often talks back to Long Wenmu.
"What happened to the medicine I asked you to prepare last time? This time I bought medicine for you again." Long Wenmu threw the medicine bag behind him, and Ye Lan screamed and scrambled to catch it, almost breaking it.
The vase next to him glared fiercely at Long Wenmu's back.
Although this young master of mine has never met him, he has been teaching me how to prepare medicine since they met.
Ye Lan can actually see that the young master Long Wenmu has no merits in other aspects, but he has some unique insights in pharmacology. It is hard to imagine that a person like Long Wenmu, who is ignorant and has no skills, is also proficient in something.
.
After studying with Long Wenmu for so many years, Ye Lan is better than the doctors at ordinary medical clinics in formulating medicines.
Back in the main hall, Yelan put the things in the corner and took out a piece of letter from his arms: "Master, the medicine you gave me last time has been prepared, but compared to that... when you went out, City Lord Bai sent someone here
Once upon a time, this letter is for you."
"Letter?" Long Wenmu said as he took it.
The city lord here is surnamed Bai. He is a man with a high official position but not much courage. He usually retreats when seeing Long Wenmu, as if he were avoiding tigers and wolves. Why do you still have the leisure to send a message today?
This is the first time in history.
Long Wenmu raised his eyebrows and opened the envelope, but after just a few cursory glances at it, his always cynical face gradually turned gloomy.
