Ximen Qing shook his head secretly on the horse: This is probably the legendary bad fate. He was determined to avoid Pan Jinlian, but Pan Jinlian came to the door, which made Wu Dalang almost angry to death. If Wu Song heard about this, I'm afraid he would
Carry a knife and search for yourself all over the world. Although you just saved Wu Dalang, Wu Dalang might think that you want to murder him.
It's troublesome...
Although Ximen Qing does not believe that there are Yue Lao and red threads in the world, he now has to admit that someone may have drawn a red thread between himself and Pan Jinlian.
I am like a tree, trying desperately to push away the climbing vines, but every time the branches extend out, they will also be entangled by the vines. On the contrary, they climb faster and become more tightly entangled.
I don’t know what kind of ripples my cardiopulmonary resuscitation will cause in this world... In a small place like Qinghe County, it shouldn’t matter. Almost no one saw it just now...
The faint scent of medicine blew by the wind, and Ximen Qing was freed from his thoughts. The herbal medicine shop was not far ahead, with a few golden words on the signboard at the door: "Medicine prepared by our law." Although Ximen Qing has not practiced much.
Calligraphy, but I can also see the character of these golden characters, but I don’t know who the famous artist is.
When I got off my horse at the door, I saw another plaque hanging in front. It looked like the material was much better than that signboard, but the words "Ximen Family" on it were crooked, and I didn't know who wrote it.
The person who writes the sign is not even qualified to lift shoes or polish ink.
It turned out that Ximen Qing had just been thinking about something and inadvertently galloped away, forgetting that Xiao Tianqing was following him. Fortunately, the herbal medicine shop was not far away, so Xiao Tianqing reluctantly followed him.
"Hey, the master is still looking at this plaque?" Xiao Tianqing finally calmed down and went to lead the horse. Only then did she realize that Ximen Qing's eyes were scanning the plaque and the signboard: "This is the master's calligraphy treasure.
..."
Five thunder strikes!
Ximen Qingyu looked at the plaque again without tears. Sure enough, he had some impression. It seemed that it was written before when Ximenda, that is, Ximen Qing took over the herbal medicine shop after his father passed away.
Let’s not talk about the calligraphy. You can also find someone to make a plaque and hang it up with this kind of stupid calligraphy. It was quite strange when I saw Ximen Qing.
Xiao Tianqing took care of herself and led the horse to the backyard of the herbal medicine shop. Ximen Qing touched the mutton-fat jade pendant and got rid of the shock. Well, when will you find an excuse to change the words on the plaque? Brother
I can't afford to lose this guy.
After entering the door, the smell of medicinal materials became stronger. Ximen Qing felt refreshed. He could distinguish the aroma of several common medicinal materials. Looking around, he saw the long counter with Fraxinus manchus and the scale where the clerk weighed medicines behind it.
The medicine is packed and packaged, and the prototype of the assembly line has already taken shape; the people cutting and grinding the medicine are all in good order.
I saw that Shopkeeper Fu was not only talented in identifying medicinal materials, but also had good skills in drug store management. Ximen Qing didn’t know what luck he had before, but he was able to hire Shopkeeper Fu, and then the spread of herbal medicines became even more prosperous.
.
"It turns out that the boss is here. Please sit in the back room." Shopkeeper Fu happened to come out from behind. When he saw Ximen Qing looking around, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Fu." Ximen Qing smiled and asked, "Is Dr. Bai here?"
"Haha." Shopkeeper Fu welcomed Ximen Qing into the back room and asked the waiter to serve a pot of tea: "That Bai Guang has evil intentions and was forced by his boss to work for our herbal medicine shop. How can he come here?"
"Congratulations to my boss for becoming the county captain of Qinghe County." Shopkeeper Fu bent down and poured fragrant tea for Ximen Qing himself: "Then Bai Guang must have got the news, let alone refuse to come. The person sitting in front is still the original Liu
Although the doctor's medical skills are average, he is kind and will not make any mistakes."
Ximen Qing smiled and looked at the steaming fragrant tea in front of him: "Now that we have negotiated the terms with Dr. Bai, the herbal medicine shop still needs to make a show. You can find a piece of red paper and write "Special Invitation Bai" on it later.
The imperial doctor sits in the hall and is posted outside the door."
"If anyone asks, just say that Dr. Bai is not feeling well and will come to sit in court in a few days."
"In addition, Dr. Bai's resume needs to be added. He has been in the hospital for fifteen years, and he has performed pulse examinations for officials."
Shopkeeper Fu raised his thumb: "This is a great trick! Even if Bai Guang can't come over, we still need to let the people know that Dr. Bai is sitting in our herbal medicine shop, so that he will never be able to open his own herbal medicine shop."
"Two of the master's subordinates are Dutou, and one of them is a martial artist who fights tigers. More than a dozen government servants are not just for a living." Ximen Qing showed his white teeth: "Even if Dr. Bai reluctantly spreads the crude medicine,
When the time comes, we will take turns to move a stool and sit at the door of the herbal medicine store to see who dares to go in and grab the medicine."
"Come on." Shopkeeper Fu nodded repeatedly: "Master, I am worthy of being a county captain!"
"Regarding this matter, Zhu Zhixian didn't just give it for free." Ximen Qing held out three fingers: "It's empty talk. I asked for three hundred strings. In addition, four good ginsengs a year are not needed. No nourishing herbs are needed.
said."
Shopkeeper Fu said with a confused look on his face: "Well...it's easy to talk about the medicinal materials, but the annual profit of this herbal medicine shop is only three to five hundred guan. In terms of money..."
"Huh?" Ximen Qing raised his eyebrows: "Shopkeeper Fu only needs to worry about the medicinal materials. The money will naturally be withdrawn from the accounting room, so there is no need to worry."
"This..." Shopkeeper Fu hesitated and stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, there is no need to hesitate." Ximen Qing frowned: "If anything happens, I will naturally make the decision."
Shopkeeper Fu thought for a while, sighed, and seemed to have made up his mind: "My boss, yesterday I went to the accounting office to withdraw the one hundred dollars for the consultation fee for Dr. An, and I have wasted countless words. The aunt is very serious about it and refuses to let it go.
Afterwards, I asked my boss to take care of his old illness, so I finally agreed."
"Huh?" Ximen Qing put down the mutton-fat jade pendant he was playing with: "Tell me, in the past few months, you have gone to the accounting office to pay for the medicinal materials. Have you noticed anything unusual?"
"There are no abnormalities." Shopkeeper Fu recalled: "Starting from two months ago, all expenses were delivered two or three days after being withdrawn. In the past, they were withdrawn on site..."
"What!" Ximen Qing suddenly stood up and slapped the table, causing the tea cup to jump up. The tea flowed all over the table. Ximen Qing turned a blind eye and paced back and forth on the ground: "It seems that there is something wrong at home.
It’s not peaceful.”
This herbal medicine shop is constantly in circulation. Every year, the total amount is about 1,000 to 1,500 guan. Each time the medicinal materials are purchased, it is only 100 or 200 guan. If this amount of money needs to be transferred to two or three days, it can be given out.
, can only mean one thing, that is, there is no cash in the account. And the person in charge of the accounts and cash in the family is Wu Yueniang!
I originally thought that my family didn't have five thousand guan but also had the foundation for 3,000 guan. I didn't expect that it would take several days to get even a few hundred guan. How could I get the three hundred guan that I promised Zhu Zhixian?
This Wu Yueniang is so courageous! Where has she done all the money in her account?
Ximen Qing was sweating from behind. If there was no money in the account, let alone other businesses, even maintaining this herbal medicine store would be too weak!!!
Seeing his boss walking around on the ground, Shopkeeper Fu felt guilty. He had already figured out the problems when he went there, but Ximen Qing rarely came to the pharmacy before, and he had no interest in discussing these problems with him. In addition,
This was originally an internal matter of Ximen's family, and it was not easy for me to interfere.
"You..." Ximen Qing thought for a long time and pointed at Shopkeeper Fu: "You are right to tell the story. Go and get the account books from the herbal medicine store. I want to take them back and compare them.
"
Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing, you are still living and drinking, and the backyard is on fire!
Angrily, Ximen Qing asked Xiao Tianqing to take the account book, then he got on his horse and hurried back home.
This Wu Yueniang, I am afraid that there is something else she is hiding from her, so she must ask about it! To avoid future troubles!
"Failed?" The old man looked at the young man in front of him with his bright eyes, and tapped the mahogany table in front of him with his fingers: "Tell me, what happened?"
The young man smiled bitterly as he listened to the old man's tapping on the table, each sound pointing directly to his heart: "Sir, I underestimated Wu Song's martial arts and gave this job to the five tiger brothers, and also transferred him to
I gave them a pair of bows and arrows, but I didn't expect that under Wu Song, even with three to five breaths of time, none of them could stand."
"Huh?" The old man's eyes flickered, and he continued to knock on the table leisurely: "Although those five guys are useless, they are not enough to take down even one of them. Are you sure?"
"The younger one hid behind a tree, only twenty steps away from the scene. He could see it from beginning to end without missing it." The young man thought for a moment: "Wu Song had nothing more than a common whistle stick in his hand."
The old man suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise on his face: "What's Wu Song's background? Have you investigated it? Tell me in detail every move you see him use."
"Wu Song was promoted to the capital by Zhu Zhi County of Qinghe County." The young man said seriously: "It was because he killed a tiger in Jingyanggang. Before that, Wu Song was in Yanggu County, which is adjacent to Qinghe County, and his brother
We live together, and if we commit a crime, we will always be floating around in the world."
"Later, he lived for a while at Chai Jin's house in Henghai County, Cangzhou. When Song Jiang passed by Chai Jin's house, he had several drinks with Wu Song."
"Song Jiang? That Song Jiang?" The old man's face gradually became serious, and his wrinkles were pushed together.
"Yes." The young man nodded affirmatively: "That's Song Jiang."
"Go on and show Wu Song's moves."
The young man stretched out his hand and began to trace Wu Song's movements at that time. He did it very slowly, and even the vigorous throw was not ignored.
"There is something wrong with this man's martial arts." The old man's wrinkles became more serious: "This is not martial arts in the martial arts, but battlefield martial arts in marching and fighting."
"Check where Wu Song learned it from." The old man leaned back and returned to the darkness: "Don't worry about the three thousand strings anymore. It's just small money anyway."
