Chapter 174 Isn’t that a brothel?
Ye Lanzhou actually felt a little disappointed. Going to Southern Xinjiang was such a big thing, but he left without even saying goodbye. He suddenly felt annoyed.
But he didn't sound like he was trying to coax her when he said those words. Maybe he had something urgent to do and had to leave?
The mansion was peaceful, and with Jian Xing and Hong Luo there, nothing should go wrong. She suddenly remembered that Yan Su's medicine was running low, so she went to Xinglinchun to get some.
It got even colder in Shangjing after the Great Cold. She couldn't stay anywhere in Shangjing and spent the longest time in the palace. Xie Chengyan seemed to have asked the people in the palace's clothing department to add her size so that she would have clothes to wear when the seasons changed.
But she didn't remember being measured, and the clothes were just the right size.
She casually put on an outer coat and went out. The distance from the palace to Xinglinchun was not far, and she arrived there in no time.
The heavy snow from yesterday had stopped. The streets were now covered with snow and the air was filled with coldness. When she inhaled it into her nose, she felt dryness and coughed twice unconsciously.
She shook the Tongling at the gate of Xinglinchun, and a medicine boy came out to get the medicine.
Ye Lanzhou waited for a long time but didn't see the girl. While the medicine boy was weighing the medicine, she asked, "Where is the girl in your pharmacy?"
Ye Lanzhou had been getting medicine here lately, and from what people were saying, he'd figured out something. It seemed Xinglinchun was an established pharmacy in Shangjing. The previous owner was ill and no longer able to run the business, and his children weren't willing to take on the job, so he hired an apprentice, hoping to have her take over the business someday.
The original owner no longer worked on the pharmacy, leaving most of the business to the girl and the two little pharmacists at the back. The pharmacists were young and looked a bit like them, so they must be brothers.
Without even looking up, the little medicine boy said, "Her husband came to see her today and asked her to deliver medicine. He just left not long ago."
Ye Lanzhou nodded. Every time she came these days, the girl was always there. Why was she suddenly gone today? Although she thought so, she didn't take it to heart. She took the packet of medicine handed to her by the medicine boy, paid the money and was about to leave.
As she turned around, she suddenly heard the medicine boy who handed her the medicine say to another medicine boy, "I wonder when Miss Yang will be back. Should we save lunch for her today?"
Miss Yang?
Ye Lanzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks, suddenly remembering that there was an assistant minister in the cabinet whose surname was also Yang.
There are so many people with the surname Yang in the world, so this is nothing. The problem lies with the young man who came to Xinglinchun with her that day.
The man's attire was different from that of an ordinary person. She felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't tell where she had seen him before. Then she suddenly remembered, wasn't that Pei Xuan, the Second Master of the Pei family?
When Ye Qingshang and Pei Song got married, she had seen Pei Xuan from afar, but because her attention was on Ye Qingshang at the time, she had forgotten about this person. But now she remembered him.
Xie Chengyan had also mentioned to her these days that Pei Er and Yang Zheng's sister's wedding might be approaching.
It seems that it must be her.
She turned around and asked the two medicine boys, "Where did she go to deliver the medicine?"
One of the medicine boys said, "Let's go to the incense hall."
Ye Lanzhou's mind suddenly buzzed with laughter. Nongxiangtang, isn't that a brothel?
The incident of Ye Anyun being taken away was still fresh in her mind, and a bad premonition arose. She said goodbye to the two medicine boys and walked along the street towards Nongxiangtang.
