Chapter 55: Wind Blows Waves



This person is quite childish.

From then on, Miss Jun did not see any trace of Zhu Zan for a few days.

But there was no need to worry, because he was not a real child after all. He had experienced killing and being killed. He had walked the route from Dingzhou to the capital at least once, unlike himself, who followed the map left by his master completely.

In the end, only one purple angelica plant was found on this mountain.

This is already very good. There are many mountains on the way from Dingzhou to the capital, and she will definitely be able to find enough herbs.

It's not hard, it's easy.

The master spent ten years studying the prescription and solved the most difficult part. Let her complete the remaining simple tasks.

"Girl, girl, it's going to rain today."

Looking at Miss Jun climbing onto the horse, the old woman waved and called out.

"Don't leave today."

Miss Jun patted the rain cover on the horse's back.

"It's all right. I have my tarp with me," she said. "I have to get going. Thank you, Auntie. I'm leaving now."

Watching the girl spurring her horse away, the old woman could not help but follow her for a few steps.

"What a filial girl she is." She sighed while leaning against the old tree, "It must be so hard to travel this far to look for medicine."

Miss Jun didn't find it hard, as she had been making such treks since she was ten years old.

Before the heavy rain fell, she had put on a raincoat and followed the route marked on the map, and found a mountain temple before the horse could no longer move forward.

Feed the horses, collect firewood to make a fire, hang up the tarpaulin, change the wet clothes, set up the devices and hidden weapons that can prevent people, snakes and insects from getting close to you. This series of tasks is done quickly but not chaotically, and is completed neatly before dark.

She lay leisurely in the hammock, flipping through her master's notes and eating hot dry food.

She was the only one in the dilapidated temple, and it was raining heavily outside, but she did not feel the slightest bit anxious, but instead felt extremely peaceful.

Outside, heavy rain filled the sky and the earth. Someone was vaguely seen walking in it, his eyes fixed on the ruined temple, and after a moment he disappeared into the night.

Jiangnan has already become somewhat lively, and the streets of the capital are becoming increasingly bustling.

The usually quiet Jiuling Hall was also bustling.

Of course, this silence does not mean that Jiulingtang has no business and is deserted, but that only the rich or the noble can enter Jiulingtang, so it is not as busy as other pharmacies and medical clinics.

This did not make Jiulingtang a place that ordinary people stayed away from and out of reach.

Jiulingtang’s consultation fees and medicine costs are expensive, but it also has cheap medicines.

The smallpox vaccine that could save countless children from the smallpox epidemic only cost a few hundred dollars, not to mention passing on the vaccination technique to countless doctors.

Medical skills are inherited from a master in the family, and Miss Jiulingtangjun taught them without reservation.

Just as she said, one person's medical treatment is not as good as that of ten thousand people. If a doctor has achieved this, and there are still people who accuse her of charging high medical fees and medicine prices, then they are blind and conscienceless.

"Just tell me if it's her or not."

Old Doctor Feng sat in the hall and spoke with a bit of stubbornness.

"Otherwise I won't leave today."

Chen Qi bowed with a smile.

"Master Feng, please don't make things difficult for me." He said, "I am just a shopkeeper. I sell medicine and collect money. How can I know anything else?"

Old Doctor Feng looked at him.

"Now the news has spread that the prince's wife came from Qingyuan." He said, "Wasn't she in Qingyuan at the time?"

The most crucial thing is that there are some unclear things between her and the Prince of Chengguo.

Chen Qi laughed.

"Look at what you said, there are many people in Qingyuan Prefecture." he said.

Before Doctor Feng could say something, Chen Qi patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, my old lord, Duke Cheng is about to come to Beijing, and we will know when we see him then," he said with a smile.

Is this a recognition or an admission? Doctor Feng was still unsure, but after knowing Chen Qi for so long, he knew that although Chen Qi looked cheerful, he was very strict and was very measured in what he said and did.

"I'm so anxious." He sighed, "It's been so long, and there's still no news from her."

"Don't worry, the vaccination issue has been resolved." Chen Qi said with a smile.

Old Doctor Feng glared and stamped his feet.

"Am I worried about the vaccine?" he said.

Chen Qi laughed and patted his shoulder.

"No, no, I know you're worried about Miss Jun." He said, pushing Doctor Feng out, "Don't worry, you don't know her. Nothing can stump her. She's very capable."

It seems to be true, but...

"Why do you find this so strange?" said old Doctor Feng with a frown.

Chen Qi laughed as he sent Doctor Feng out the door. He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, then saw Fang Jinxiu walk into the hall.

"I don't know where this news came from. These days, so many people have come to inquire about it openly or secretly." Chen Qi hurriedly whispered to her.

"There is no wall in the world that is impenetrable," said Fang Jinxiu.

"Ms. Jun didn't say whether we can talk about it or not, so we won't talk about it." Chen Qi said.

Fang Jinxiu was about to say something when someone walked in from outside.

"Oh, Mr. Ning." Chen Qi called out hurriedly, welcoming him happily.

Ning Yunzhao nodded to him with a smile, and then smiled at Fang Jinxiu.

Fang Jinxiu nodded without saying anything, her expression as stern as ever.

"I heard that rumor..." Ning Yunzhao said straight to the point.

"No wind without waves." Chen Qi took over his words with a serious expression, and when he turned his back to Fang Jinxiu, he made a gesture to Ning Yunzhao.

Ning Yunzhao was slightly startled and then smiled.

"Okay, I understand," he said, nodding to Chen Qi and Fang Jinxiu, "Then I'll take my leave."

Chen Qi did not try to persuade Ning Yunzhao to stay and just watched him turn around and walk out.

"Look, this rumor is so strong." He exhaled, turned around and spoke seriously to Fang Jinxiu.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him with a half-smile.

"What kind of riddle are you telling?" she said.

Chen Qi touched his head and laughed dryly.

"I'm not telling a riddle. I'm just telling him not to believe the rumors." He said, and then he uttered a sigh, "It seems that the sentence is not used correctly."

He rubbed his hands in shame.

"It's shameful to have little education."

Fang Jinxiu glanced at him.

"Why are you so nice to him? You can't tell others, but you can tell him? What is your relationship with him?" she asked.

Chen Qi laughed dryly again.

"What are you talking about? How have I been nice to him? He is not a woman," he said.

Fang Jinxiu said "Oh".

"If it was a woman, would you be nice to her?" she asked.

Chen Qi's smile became more and more dry.

"Look, it's not good to read too much. You think too much," he said.

Ning Yunzhao paid no attention to the whispers and laughter in the hall behind him. He stood outside the Jiuling Hall with a complicated expression.

In fact, there is no need to ask. Chen Qi is right, there is no wind without waves. If she does it, how can there not be waves?

Ning Yunzhao smiled slightly.

"This is the third one," he said to himself.

"Sir, what's the third one?" Xiao Ding asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Ning Yunzhao said, and just as he was about to move forward, he saw a bustle and crying in the street.

It turned out that a group of soldiers were driving away several men and women, among whom there was a child. It was obvious that they were a family.

"Soldier, please don't chase us out."

"We'll be able to collect the money and pay it next month."

They cried and begged.

The soldiers, however, looked grim and impatient.

"Who has time to wait for you?" they shouted, and then raised the sticks in their hands to hit them.

The man and woman could only cry and walk out without daring to stay.

"What's going on?"

"Isn't this the Sun Er family who bought mutton soup in the west of the city?"

"You have to pay some kind of money, otherwise you are not allowed to set up a stall on the street."

"Why are you charging me for something nice?"

"I don't know, but the government has suddenly had more excuses to collect money recently."

People on the street were pointing and talking about this scene.

The excitement lasted only a blink of an eye, and as the soldiers drove the family away, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Ning Yunzhao stood there without taking a step, as if thinking about something.

“Where there is wind there is no wave,” he said.
