As the weather gets warmer, Yue Wangshu's health pharmacy gradually stabilizes. Although the business is not very good, it has been flowing steadily. I don't know how much credit Wang Yuanwai has for this.
Among them, the best-selling one is the Bazhen cake! After all, this stuff is delicious and it is the secret recipe of the palace!
Secondly, there are some finished tonics that are the same as the secret recipe of the palace, which are very popular among male customers.
However, those herbal teas and mugwort bags are not very popular.
Well, she has no dissatisfaction with this, as long as she can continue to operate the store. Anyway, she owns the store, there is no rent, and no one comes to extort money for protection money. She can make a little money, which is enough to pay the employees:/

On this day, Yue Wangshu was looking through the account books of the big pharmacy, and his head was getting bigger and bigger. This little guy's accounting was so messed up that I almost went bald!
By the way, Arabic numerals have been widely used in this era, so give me a double-entry accounting method!
Yue Wangshu's request was really too much for a eunuch.
This dynasty strictly prohibited officials from intervening in politics, so eunuchs were not allowed to be literate. It was already very rare for Xiao Xingzi to be able to keep accounts.
"Master, Qi Cai Nu wants to see you." Li Yue, the eunuch of the capital, hesitated and came in to report.
Yue Wangshu was stunned for a moment, Qi Jiyue?!
That's a rare visitor.
Since Qi Cainv left the cold palace, she moved back to live in the side hall of Chaoyun Palace, just like growing mushrooms, never leaving the front door or taking a second step. Even on major occasions such as New Year's Day, she would complain of illness. In addition, the concubines in the harem
The concubines also stayed away from her, even treating her as someone else! This made her presence even lower.
After all, Qi Cainu wanted to "get married" to His Majesty the Emperor back then, which was very disrespectful to the late Empress!
And if there are concubines in the harem, who wouldn’t respect the first queen?
And Qi Cainu is also very sensible and would never go to the concubine's palace to cheat.
It must be urgent to come to her this time.
"Let her come in." Yue Wangshu missed his fellow countryman a little.
After a while, Li Yue led a woman in a half-worn dark floral dress and said, "Please greet the pure concubine!"
To this day, Qicai's etiquette is already in place.
Yue Wangshu nodded, then ordered everyone in the palace to step back, and then said to Qi Cainu: "If you have anything to say, sit down and speak slowly."
Qi Cainu then sat down on the embroidered pier on one side. She always knew that the emperor often came to Yunzhi Palace, so she took advantage of the fact that it was a great morning and came here early. However, she did not dare to waste time with chatty words. She said directly
He said: "I heard that you opened a large pharmacy."
After all, the name of the store was written by the emperor himself, a plaque was placed on it by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and medicinal materials were specially purchased from the Imperial Pharmacy. Everyone knew about this, but the emperor had forbidden it to be publicized, so no one dared to discuss anything else.
The concubine came to visit and didn't even mention it.
"It's true, what's the matter?" Qi Cainv's tone was so polite, obviously she was asking for something.
Qi Cainv was a little embarrassed: "Well, can I go to your pharmacy... and work part-time?"
Yue Wangshu:?????
"Um... working part-time? Part-time job?" This word appeared in ancient times, and it was really surprisingly friendly.
Qi Cainv nodded hurriedly: "Well, although I don't know medicine, I can still serve as a receptionist to receive guests, or learn to prepare medicinal materials, or do some chores!"
The work in the pharmacy is not difficult, even if you are preparing pills, it is not a problem if you are willing to learn, but...
"You're so good, why do you want to work?" Yue Wangshu blinked, expressing confusion.
Qi Cainu smiled awkwardly: "Cainu's salary..."
Yue Wangshu suddenly realized that he almost forgot that the salary of a low-level female imperial concubine was actually not much better than that of a palace maid! Of course she was working part-time to make money!
Qi Cainv hurriedly said: "Moreover, I also want to accumulate some more merit. I'm not sure I can go back in the future."
Yue Wangshu nodded. After all, who doesn't want to go home? If possible, she would dump His Majesty the Emperor without hesitation and go back to the modern world where the air-conditioning and WiFi are black.
"I just thought that I wouldn't go out all day anyway, and no one would care whether I was in Chaoyun Palace or not." Qi Cainv said that she lived as if she were invisible!
Yue Wangshu nodded again, "But I have to ask the emperor for permission on this matter." Yan Liulang shouldn't refuse, right?
In the evening, after dinner, Emperor Yan Zheng said with an indifferent expression: "I refuse!"
Yue Wangshu:???
"Why? No one pays attention to whether she is in the palace anyway!" Yue Wangshu took out the account book made by Xiao Xingzi again, "I happen to be short of an accounting room here!"
Although Qi Cainv is not studying accounting, she is at least compulsory education level in mathematics, so she can still keep accounts!
"Wang Shu, don't you think you've wasted too much time on this small pharmacy?" Yan Zheng was filled with resentment in his heart. He said that he would be on the right track, but now, Wang Shu still has to go out every now and then.
A trip to the palace!
"I think it's okay." Xiao Xingzi, most of the miscellaneous people, took the lead and led five or six young eunuchs to make a round. She only went to inspect every now and then. Yue Wangshu didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
Yan Zheng's face darkened a bit. After all, it was because he had no children, and Wang Shu's mind was too easily seduced by the scenery outside.
Thinking of the child, Yan Zheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He had obviously put almost all his energy into Wang Shu, so why was there no good news yet?
If you think about it carefully, it’s been half a year!
Why is Yan Zheng not in a hurry?
If he hadn't been watching him all morning, he would have suspected that Wang Shu secretly took medicine.
But it was clearly not the case. Even though the pharmacy had recently been used as a cover, Wangshu had indeed never prepared any contraceptive pills.
If it weren't for Du's and Shen's pregnancy so quickly, Yan Zheng would have wondered if there was something wrong with his body!
"Don't worry, Liulang. My pharmacy is full of eunuchs. Qi Cai's daughter goes out of the palace every day to do accounts and returns at dusk. She won't stay out overnight." Yue Wangshu said in a good voice.
Yan Zheng's face was dark: I'm too lazy to care where Mr. Qi spends the night!
What matters is Wangshu!
Yan Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Wang Shu, there is something I want to talk to you about."
"Huh??" Aren't we talking about hiring a female shop assistant... It's just that this female shop assistant has a special status, she is one of His Majesty's female servants.
"That aura of your life -" Yan Zheng eliminated all possibilities, and now the only possibility left is Wang Shu's miraculous skill.
The usefulness of this thing may not be as simple as curing diseases and saving lives.
Yue Wangshu looked at the emperor confused, what happened to my life aura?
Yan Zheng watched it secretly, maybe even Wangshu himself didn't know...
"I've been wondering why...there's no good news for Wangshu until now?" Yan Zheng's eyes slowly fell on Yue Wangshu's lower abdomen, with a somewhat probing look in his eyes.
