Chapter 503 Situ Bai is also here
"Look, look, what did I say?" The shopkeeper was anxious and shouted, "This really can't be blamed on us in the pharmacy. This child won't listen to advice! Quick, help him sit down and see where he's hurt!"
Xiao'er had already fallen to the ground, and the old man was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The people from the pharmacy came over quickly to check on Xiao'er.
There was blood on the corner of Xiao'er's mouth, but he still grinned, "Uncle Shopkeeper, this is definitely not your pharmacy's fault. It was me. I wanted to pick up the copper stove myself. But did you see it just now? I picked up the copper stove. Can you accept me now?"
Even if he could just lift the copper stove a few inches off the ground, he was able to do it, which showed a lot of strength.
"You are such a naughty kid. We said you need to be strong, but you can hold it up, but you vomited blood right away. How can we take you in?"
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then reacted, "No, I was confused by you. You are not old enough to begin with. Our boss said that you must be over ten years old. No matter how strong you are, it will be useless."
"Please, please accept me, please."
The child started to kowtow and cried.
Just as Fu Zhaoning was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the back hall of the pharmacy and someone walked out.
As soon as he saw the person coming, Fu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows and retreated behind the crowd.
Situ Bai!
He also brought his little follower, A Pian.
Fu Zhaoning didn't expect Situ Bai to be here. She originally thought that she might never have the chance to see Situ Bai in this life.
She didn't want Situ Bai to see her for the time being, so she stood behind Shen Yang.
Shen Yang noticed her movements, his ears turned red, and he asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong? That's the young master of Tongfu Pharmacy, the world-famous Master Situ Bai."
"Yes, I have." said Fu Zhaoning.
Situ Bai walked to Xiao Er's side.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Xiao Er."
It was the first time that Xiao'er saw such a handsome young man, and her eyes were almost wide open.
"Why do you want to come in and be a medicine boy?"
"Because we want to go to the capital to welcome the eldest princess. My grandmother has been sick. The Taoist priest said that she was contaminated by evil spirits. No matter how many doctors she saw, none of them could cure her. We want to take her into the city to get some of the eldest princess's luck. Then she will definitely get better. But my family has no money." Xiao'er said, lowering his head.
There was a hint of pity on Situ Bai's handsome face.
"Your grandma must be sick, right? How about I get a doctor to check on her?"
"Need not!"
Xiao Er shouted again, rejecting Situ Bai almost without thinking.
Situ Bai was stunned for a moment.
His follower A Pian was immediately unhappy.
"What's wrong with you? My master is kind enough to help you find a doctor, why are you so fierce? What do you mean by foul air? That must be the stinking Taoist priest lying to you! And you took it seriously."
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
Although this A Pian has always disliked her and has often criticized her, what he said is still fair.
What kind of foul air is that? It should be illness.
"Don't talk nonsense, the Taoist priest is really capable! We have consulted several doctors, but none of them could tell what the disease was and said they couldn't cure it! It was only after the Taoist priest gave me a talisman that my grandma drank a bowl of talisman water that she felt better!"
Xiao Er stood firmly on the Taoist's side.
Even his grandfather kept nodding, indicating that Xiao'er was right.
"The eldest princess is blessed by heaven and has long-lasting good fortune. We will take grandma to ask for the princess' blessing. Grandma will definitely get better. But if we don't move into the imperial capital first, we won't be able to squeeze in to the front to receive the princess' blessing when she returns. We will have to find someone to help us."
They heard that there were so many people going to receive the good fortune.
Everyone wants to receive the blessing bestowed by the eldest princess, but the eldest princess will only stay for a while at the end of the Imperial Street in the imperial capital. If you don’t have certain connections, you can’t even squeeze in.
"You can ask the doctor to see you first and then go to the imperial capital. It won't be too late this way." Situ Bai found their words a little unbelievable, but still wanted to persuade them.
"No, we won't hire a doctor. We should save every penny," said Xiao'er.
Wouldn't it cost more money to ask the doctor to prescribe more medicine? They were already saving money to go to the imperial capital, so there was no need to spend more money.
Xiao Qin found it hard to believe what the grandfather and grandson said.
"Why are they like this? Wouldn't it be more reliable to ask a doctor?"
She also didn't believe that the Taoist's talisman could cure illness. Although many people now believe in bad luck, fright, encountering some dirty things, etc., doctors are still more trustworthy.
But Xiao'er and his grandson seemed determined and didn't trust the doctor at all.
"We just want silver. I heard that your Tongfu Pharmacy is recruiting pharmacists to help test medicines. You can give fifty taels of silver. Sir, please accept me. I can try any medicine." Xiao Er grabbed Situ Bai's robe and begged.
After hearing this, Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but look at Situ Bai.
Testing medicine?
What medicine to try?
Does Tongfu Pharmacy want to accept strong children over ten years old to test drugs?
Fifty taels is already a considerable sum, so what kind of medicine do you want them to try?
Situ Bai sighed, "A Pian, give him fifty taels."
"Sir, he is not even ten years old yet." As expected, A Pian frowned unhappily again and glared at the little boy.
"First, let him help clean and run errands in the pharmacy. We'll talk about it after he turns ten." Situ Bai looked at Xiao Er, "Are you willing?"
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Er kowtowed to him excitedly, "But sir, I have to send grandma to the imperial capital with grandpa first, meet the eldest princess and then come back, okay?"
This is equivalent to selling it to Tongfu Pharmacy.
"OK."
Situ Bai agreed.
It was supposed to be a helping hand.
Xiao Er was overjoyed and followed Apian to get the silver. His grandfather stood by and wiped his tears sadly. He sold his grandson to Tongfu Pharmacy, and no one knew what he would do in the future.
Situ Bai watched him crying and didn't want to say anything to comfort him. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was looking at him. His heart moved and he immediately turned his head to look over.
Fu Zhaoning originally didn't want to see him at this time, but since he had already discovered him, he just walked out and didn't want to avoid him anymore.
"Zhao Ning?!"
When Situ Bai saw Fu Zhaoning, his eyes lit up with surprise and his face instantly glowed, making him look exceptionally handsome.
Even Xiao Qin was a little stunned.
This Mr. Situ is really good-looking.
Shen Yang looked at Situ Bai and felt something was wrong.
Why did he feel that Situ Bai's eyes when he looked at Fu Zhaoning were not so innocent?
