After leaving the Marquis's residence, there was still plenty of time left in the morning.
Following the principle of prioritizing, He Yunxiao first dispensed the medicine, then went shopping.
Ma De was already quite skilled at driving the carriage with the young master's "young ladies." He didn't need He Yunxiao to say anything more; he drove the carriage both fast and steady. When needed, he could switch gears to a slow and steady mode, or a slow and fast mode.
After leaving the Marquis's residence, He Yunxiao, to be on the safe side, still had Nan Zhu put on a veil.
The two arrived safely at the foot of Tingfeng Tower.
When He Yunxiao returned to Tingfeng Tower, his state of mind was completely different.
The last time he came, he had just transmigrated. At that time, his relationship with Chu Chu was very strained. He even tried to use Tingfeng Tower to undo the Soul-Devouring Pill, but he happened to meet Chu Chu, which led to a funny situation. He even took Chu Chu to buy clothes.
now……
Now they've really made something of themselves.
His cultivation level increased rapidly, he made money through business, and he even managed to abduct the eldest princess of the Great Qi Dynasty from the palace.
He Yunxiao sighed as he looked at Tingfeng Tower, but Meng Qingrou was completely unfamiliar with the place.
Looking at the enormous building, as magnificent as a castle, Meng Qingrou couldn't help but shrink even closer to He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao comforted her, saying, "Rou'er, don't be afraid. Tingfeng Tower is just like the Northward Commercial Street; it sells things."
Meng Qingrou whispered, "He Yunxiao, Rou'er is going to tell you a secret, but you're not allowed to tell anyone else."
"you say."
"Rou'er's mother told Rou'er that Tingfeng Tower is prepared to take over the world."
He Yunxiao's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he was not surprised.
Tingfenglou has numerous businesses spread across the continent, making it a typical example of a wealthy and powerful company. If it weren't for the fact that its home country, Weiguo, is small and weak, sandwiched between Qi and Yan, Tingfenglou would have already built a large army.
Speaking of which, Nan Zhu's mother, his mother-in-law, the most beautiful woman in the world, seems to be from the State of Wei.
"Rou'er, what is your mother's status in the State of Wei?"
Unexpectedly, Nanzhu's wife shook her head, "My mother never mentions these things to Rou'er."
"So what do you and your daughter usually talk about?"
"Medical skills".
"All right."
No wonder Nam-joo's wife has world-class medical skills; it turns out her mother-in-law raised her well from a young age. In that case, her mother-in-law herself must be quite accomplished in medicine, right?
The first floor of Tingfeng Tower is still the same as when He Yunxiao last visited.
To be honest, not much time has actually passed; it would be strange if anything had changed.
That infamous poison shop with its "tenfold compensation for fakes" and "guaranteed to kill" policy is still around, and business is pretty good. It has many repeat customers, and buyers all say it's great.
He Yunxiao brought Nanzhu to the pharmacy on the second floor of Tingfeng Tower.
It was here that I met Chuchu by chance.
Upon entering, the young medicine boy, Fugui, sat behind the counter, looking as listless as ever.
However, his eyes lit up immediately when he saw He Yunxiao arrive.
"Young Master He!"
Fu Gui had a deep impression of He Yunxiao. Besides He Yunxiao's very distinctive and iconic appearance, He Yunxiao was, after all, the first person to "train" a whole room of furniture in a pharmacy until it broke. It was impossible not to remember him.
“Young Master He, you should probably skip the training this time. Last time you finished training, I got scolded by my master for a long time.”
"Haha." He Yunxiao said somewhat awkwardly, "Not this time. This time I've brought you a big order. Rou'er."
Meng Qingrou leaned close to He Yunxiao and said, "Rou'er wants to buy five qian of light feather leaves and two liang of white velvet grass..."
Then, Nan Zhu's wife rattled off a whole bunch of things, but He Yunxiao only remembered the first few; he couldn't remember any of the names of the medicines that followed.
However, Fu Gui, who was a medicine boy with a relevant professional background, found the story increasingly interesting.
"Sister, what do you need to buy these for? There are several herbs in them that have conflicting properties and cannot be used together."
He Yunxiao smiled.
How dare a mere extra instruct the female lead on how to do things?
Meng Qingrou had been instructed by He Yunxiao not to mention the "Autumn Cicada" incident, so she could only give a perfunctory answer: "I... I used it to help a friend recuperate."
"Sister, some of these medicines contain mild toxicity. How can they be used to treat the body?"
On the street, Meng Qingrou wore a veil, so few people paid attention to her. But now, Fugui stared at her and asked her a question in a rhetorical tone.
Meng Qingrou was being looked at with interest by Fu Gui. Even though Fu Gui was not imposing and had no bad intentions, and his eyes were quite clear, it still triggered Meng Qingrou's social anxiety.
Her small lips were tightly pursed beneath her veil, as if she didn't know what to say. One hand was intertwined with He Yunxiao's, while the other wrapped around his arm. At the same time, her graceful body pressed tightly against He Yunxiao, as if she wanted nothing more than to hide in his arms.
He Yunxiao was both amused and exasperated by Nan Zhu's wife's behavior.
She really only knows how to bully the strong and fear the weak.
He was often tough on himself, throwing tantrums, giving others the cold shoulder, and making demands. But when he encountered someone as easy to bully as Fugui, he became completely helpless and terrified.
"He Yunxiao, Rou'er needs to buy medicine..."
"Call me brother."
"elder brother……"
Nan Zhu's wife's voice was naturally on the younger, sweeter side, and now it was soft, timid, and carried a lot of ingratiating undertones...
Hiss... That feels so good...
"Ahem, Fugui, you just focus on getting the medicine, don't worry about how we use it."
"But……"
He Yunxiao took out a 10,000-tael silver note and slammed it on the table.
"Don't talk, get the medicine."
Fu Gui had never seen so much money in his life. After quickly and efficiently grabbing the medicine, he said somewhat embarrassedly to He Yunxiao, "Young Master He, this is too much money; we might not be able to make change."
He Yunxiao said, "It's alright, I don't need this banknote to pay. I just took it out to show you."
Fu Gui: ? Are you even human?
He Yunxiao skillfully put the silver notes into his pocket and took out a stack of gold and silver certificates.
"Pay the money."
"Young master, our shop does not support this."
He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly, "It's alright, I'll leave the gold and silver vouchers with you, and you can pay for it for me when I need them."
Fugui was about to cry.
"I'll give you five extra taels."
"Hehe, thank you very much, Young Master He. I'll go talk to my master about the gold and silver vouchers right away."
...
He Yunxiao carried a large bag of medicinal herbs in one hand and held his wife Nanzhu's hand in the other. He had finished his business and now had two more trivial matters to attend to: buying clothes and ceramic pets.
When couples go shopping and end up with too many things to carry, the woman usually waits while the man puts the items in the car. But He Yunxiao and Meng Qingrou are different.
Given Meng Qingrou's social anxiety, she essentially has no outdoor survival skills whatsoever.
It's absolutely unacceptable not to hold hands with He Yunxiao.
Therefore, He Yunxiao had no choice but to take her to the carriage first, put her things away, and then come back to buy clothes.
We went to the same old place as before: Yin Jingcheng Tingfenglou Jiangnan Textile Flagship Store.
