Chapter 190 Help Me Test the Medicine
After Xie Chengyan fell asleep, Ye Lanzhou went to Xinglinchun. There, two little pharmacists were very busy. Because they didn't know many medicines, they were afraid of something going wrong, so they stockpiled a lot of medicine together.
By the time Ye Lanzhou arrived at Xinglinchun, her desk was already covered with prescriptions. She sighed and began preparing the medicine with her two pharmacists, teaching them some things as she went, hoping they would remember them.
By the time everything was done, it was getting dark. She took two candies and gave one to each of the two medicine boys. The two of them happily ate the candies in the outer hall, while Ye Lanzhou sat in the inner hall sorting out the books of Xinglinchun.
Although Yang Jiyu came from a humble background, she possessed excellent handwriting. The girl, though usually timid and reserved, possessed a majestic handwriting. Several booklets clearly labeled Xinglinchun's medicines, showing where each was stored and when each recent batch arrived. Ye Lanzhou quickly mastered the art.
After watching for a while, I felt that it was a pity for Yang Jiyu to marry into the inner courtyard. This was where she should be.
She was staring intently when she heard someone coming outside the door.
It was already late, and it would take a while to get the medicine. Some customers couldn't wait, and the two pharmacists knew this, so they said, "We're closed. If you want to get medicine, please come back tomorrow."
There seemed to be a woman outside the door. She had a clear and pleasant voice. She was not very old, but she spoke very calmly: "I don't want to take the medicine. I want you to help me test the medicine."
Then there was the sound of a bag of silver being placed on the counter. It sounded like a large sum of money. The woman continued, "My medicines are all messed up at home. Can you help me see what this one is for?"
Xinglinchun once helped someone test medicine. The two medicine boys took the money and the medicine, and told the man to come back in three days.
As the woman was leaving, another man entered Xinglinchun. He was large, and the woman was walking so fast that she nearly bumped into him. They both apologized at the same time, but the woman didn't look up at him, but lowered her head and hurried away.
Xie Chengyan recognized the man's appearance and glanced in the direction the woman left.
The palace gate is about to close, no wonder he is so anxious.
The two medicine boys were also wondering why they were closing today, given so many people. It wasn't like this in the past. One of the medicine boys spoke up, still holding a candy in his mouth, and said, "We're closing today."
"If you don't want medicine, go find your boss." Xie Chengyan said only this and walked straight into the inner hall.
The two pharmacists hurriedly stopped him, thinking someone was causing trouble at Xinglinchun. They said, "What are you doing? We, the shopkeeper, don't see outsiders! If you get violent, we'll call the government office."
Xie Chengyan hadn't expected these two little medicine boys to be so protective of their master. They were still only old enough to eat candy, so why were they pretending to be adults? He leaned forward slightly, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes held no kindness at all, and were rather creepy.
He said in a deep voice: "People in the government office have to give way to me. Do you think I'm afraid?"
The two medicine boys were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They stood there, not daring to move. Fortunately, Ye Lanzhou heard the noise at this time, lifted the curtain of the inner hall, and said to the two medicine boys, "Don't listen to him, he is trying to scare you two."
After she came out, she just glanced at Xie Chengyan without talking to him. She first walked up to the two medicine boys, gave each of them a candy, and then sent them back.
The two medicine boys left, looking back at Xie Chengyan from time to time.
Ye Lanzhou was waving goodbye to the two of them when she felt a shadow appear behind her. The shadow was tall and always gave people an invisible sense of oppression when standing behind them. She heard him say behind her, "Why don't you talk to me first, but comfort them?"
