Suddenly Jiang Gan smelled a strange fragrance, and immediately understood what it was.
Qian Fuhai had already taken out the scroll, and he felt that his spiritual power was draining away at a speed several times faster than usual.
Huang Wuling also felt the same way, but at the moment the two of them were at war with each other and couldn't think about it so much.
"Both shopkeepers are well-known figures in the Qing Dynasty. Now is the grand gathering of Yunying Society. Wouldn't it be a great disgrace if the two of them come to blows? How about you give me some face?"
When Qian Fuhai and Huang Wuling saw Zhao Guizhen's appearance, they hurriedly restrained themselves. Even if they were arrogant, they still had to find targets.
"Since the prefect has come forward, I must give you this face."
Jiang Yan felt a little regretful and blamed Zhao Guizhen for being nosy.
The two left here very wisely, and Zhao Guizhen walked up to Jiang Yan.
"You made it easy for me to find you," Zhao Guizhen said with a smile.
"Find me?"
Jiang Yan was a little surprised. He was just a poor painter. Why did the dignified prefect of Piyong City want him?
"You painted both the screen wall in Huichun Town and the screen wall in Zize Garden, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded.
"I have seen your painting skills. I hope you can come to Piyong City to paint one for me. The price is easy to negotiate," Zhao Guizhen said.
When Jiang Gu heard about the business, he was interested. Piyong City was the first city under Yunzhou, and Zhao Guizhen had a very high status. It would be difficult for Minglou to become popular if he supported it.
"Master Taishou, I am now the painter of Minglou. If you have anything to do, Master Taishou, you have to talk to my shopkeeper. I don't accept private work."
Zhao Guizhen burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Fu Yueming, right? It's no problem, but the shadows and murals I want are at least high-grade and above. You are still far behind."
"Then does this count as a reservation?"
"Just think of it as my reservation. I hope that your first high-quality screen wall will be completed in Piyong City in the future. I will provide the pigments and give you a hundred thousand taels of gold!"
"I believe our shopkeeper will be happy to close the deal."
One hundred thousand taels of gold equals one million taels of silver. Jiang Yan was secretly shocked that Zhao Guizhen was spending too much money.
All the painters were having a feast in Yunying Tower, and only Zhou Xiaoshi saw and heard this incredible scene.
Even those in the Huiyang realm may not be able to create the high-end screen wall, but the dignified prefect of Piyong City is so sure that the unknown Jiang Yan can do it, and even spends 100,000 gold!
Zhao Guizhen also saw Zhou Xiaoshi beside him and felt amazed by him.
"Mr. Zhou is indeed very handsome."
"Your Majesty, the Governor is overly praised."
"I have a collection of stone gate inscriptions in my house. If Mr. Zhou is interested, you can come and copy them in your spare time."
"Shimen tablet inscription?"
Zhou Xiaoshi was excited, his face flushed a little, and he couldn't help but cough a few times because he had an old illness.
The Shimen tablet is one of the top ten in the world. It is a sacred object in the eyes of all scholars. Unexpectedly, it was collected by Zhao Guizhen.
"Zhao Suixian is both a painter and a scholar. You can communicate more in the future."
"Thank you, Lord Prefect"
Jiang Yan looked on and was a little jealous. He was still angry and tried his best to buy the painting at a good price. However, some people could get both sides with just one face and even gave him a stone gate inscription!
"Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will have to be thrown away." Jiang Yan sighed with emotion.
After Qian Fuhai, Huang Wuling and Zhao Guizhen left, Zhou Xiaoshi saw Jiang Chang looking around absentmindedly.
"Brother Jiang, what are you looking for?"
"You'll find out later"
"How long are you going to hide?" Jiang Yan shouted.
As soon as the voice fell, a black shadow quickly flashed past the eyes of the two of them. This black shadow still had a faint fragrance on it.
Who else could be standing in front of him, naturally it was Su Kou.
"How did you know it was me?" Zuko asked.
"I didn't know it at first, but I guessed it when I smelled it."
"This is..." Zhou Xiaoshi asked.
"Zuko, a medicine man"
"Pharmacist?"
Zhou Xiaoshi was a little surprised. There were not many enlightened pharmacists in Xuan Kingdom, and every one of them was a guest of the major powers.
Su Kou heard Zhou Xiaoshi's lack of breath, looked at his face again, and then directly grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"I really don't know how you lived to be so old."
"What's going on?" Jiang Yan asked.
"You are obviously not weak in cultivation, why are you so weak?"
Zhou Xiaoshi felt a surge of spiritual power pouring into every part of his body from his wrist, and Su Kou's eyes changed from joking to surprised.
"Physician Su, have you found anything?"
"You were seriously injured?"
"When I was six years old, my family went through great changes. I escaped death but was left with serious illnesses." Zhou Xiaoshi did not hide it.
"Your internal organs have been damaged to varying degrees. You are as fragile as a baby. You are destined not to live past the age of twenty-six."
I originally thought that Zhou Xiaoshi, a grown man, looked like a coquettish person, but he didn't expect that his body was so weak.
"Physician Su, is there anything you can do to save me?"
"Rescue people?" Jiang Yan sneered disdainfully, "He is better at killing people than saving people."
"Looking down on people? I really have a way."
"Please also invite Pharmacist Su..."
Before Zhou Xiaoshi could finish speaking, Su Kou's hand actually touched his beautiful face.
"Hey, can you have a little face?"
Faced with such a frivolous act, Jiang Yan couldn't stand it anymore, but Zhou Xiaoshi's face turned red and he didn't refuse.
However, it was obvious that Jiang Yan had misled Su Kou. After Su Kou touched Zhou Xiaoshi's face, there was some light powder on his hand.
The scribes in the Qing capital all had the habit of dressing up. Applying makeup and powder was a daily routine. Seventy percent of the scribes in Yunying Tower came here after putting on elaborate makeup.
Su Kou smelled the powder on his hand.
"Xianlingbi pollen, this kind of powder will shorten your life for at least three years, and you can't use it in the future. You can try the laurel flower powder, which is quite good."
"good"
"Go to my house to pick up medicine every month from now on."
“May I ask where the pharmacist lives?”
"My home..." Su Kou said and looked at Jiang Yan, "Where do I live?"
"Where do you live, you ask me?"
"Then where do you live?" Su Kou saved the country.
"I live at No. 11 A, Mahuang Lane"
"From now on, you can go to No. 11 A, Mahuang Lane to get medicine."
Su Kou didn't even look at Jiang Yan's face and unilaterally announced his move in.
"Thank you, Pharmacist Su"
Enlightened pharmacists are extremely rare, and Zhou Xiaoshi did not expect to meet one here. He also found a cure for a stubborn disease that left many people helpless.
The banquet at Yunying Tower was still going on. After chatting for a while, Zhou Xiaoshi turned around and returned. Before leaving, Su Kou mysteriously gave Zhou Xiaoshi a packet of medicinal powder.
"What kind of poison is Xianlingbihua?"
"Xianlingbi is not poison"
"Then you said it would shorten your life span."
Jiang Yan was about to inquire about it so that he could avoid lightning in the future, but unexpectedly Su Kou winked at him.
"This is an aphrodisiac. If you smell this powder at a very close distance, you will be addicted to it. There are many vassals like Zhou Xiaoshi. If you mix it with this medicine, it will not kill you if you take it immediately!"
"Then what did you stuff into him in the end, the antidote?"
"Shit, that's a medicine I prepared, called Yangyang Hehuan Powder."
