Along the way, the two stopped talking. Liu Meizhuang and Gu San Gongzi soon arrived in the west of the city, checked into an inn, had a simple meal and then went to Gu Hengyi's medicine shop. Because a life occurred in Gu Hengyi's shop.
, so the business suddenly became a lot sluggish.
The medicine shop is quite spacious, but it is very messy. The shopkeeper and a few busboys squatted on the ground, picking up scattered medicinal materials on the ground, and then sorting them one by one. The shopkeeper was in his fifties, with a half-white beard, and wore coarse linen clothes.
, looked kind-faced. The few busboys were all dressed in servant uniforms, and they looked like honest people. Since they were sorting out the medicinal materials, they did not notice the third son of Gu, Liu Meizhuang, walking in.
"It's from the shopkeeper." Xiaofu shouted from behind, looking at the shopkeeper.
When he heard someone calling him, the shopkeeper didn't believe it. He looked up and saw Liu Meizhuang and Gu Sangong. How come he hadn't seen these two people before? Looking at the two people's clothes, the shopkeeper also had a good eye.
, I immediately knew that the person coming must be either rich or noble. However, I did have some doubts in my heart. Who didn’t know that there had been a life-threatening incident in their drugstore, and even the young master in charge had been arrested and taken into Qingtian Yamen, and these two people actually still
Dare to come. However, the visitor is a guest. Why not do it if you can make money? "Are you two here to get some medicine?"
Young Master Gu walked over with Liu Meizhuang and took out a green tasseled mutton-fat jade pendant from her waist. Fine lines were engraved in the middle, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the word "绯". Liu Meizhuang took a look and she still remembered what her father had given her.
I guess this jade pendant is just like my father’s jade ring.
"I've met Third Young Master. I'm the housekeeper here."
Shopkeeper Fang looked at the jade pendant for a while and then immediately handed it back to Mr. Gu with both hands. They were servants of the Gu Mansion and had worked in the Gu Mansion for decades, so they naturally recognized the jade pendant. Mr. Gu was in charge of the Gu Mansion alone at first, so
Their Gu Mansion's keepsake was engraved with the word "Gu" on it, and it was made of the finest mutton-fat jade pendant presented as tribute by the imperial court. Later, Mr. Gu acquired three young masters, and divided the Gu Mansion, which was originally a plate of sand, into three pieces.
Among them, the eldest son Gu is in charge of the west of the city, the second son Gu is in charge of the east part of the city, and the third son Gu is in charge of the business in Jiangnan and Kyoto. Therefore, the tokens are engraved with their respective suffixes to make it easy for the servants of the Gu family to distinguish them.
"Third Young Master, who is this?" Shopkeeper Fang glanced at Liu Meizhuang. In addition to his wife, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, when did the Third Young Master have a beautiful woman beside him?
"This is Zhuojing." Master Gu replied, placing the jade pendant around his waist and hanging it up again.
"I've met the Third Young Master." Zhuo Jing? The shopkeeper took a look and realized that this was the future mistress of the house. He just said, how could there be a beautiful woman accompanying Third Young Master Gu for no reason.
Liu Meizhuang nodded and smiled at the shopkeeper, saying that she had seen him before. "What is this?" Looking at the scene, it looked like they had just had a fight in the drugstore.
"Mrs. Third Young Master, this is a riot caused by the people. It will be sorted out in a moment." Shopkeeper Fang smiled. In the past two days, people would come into the drug store and cause trouble. It can be said that the drug store has no business at all. After all, a life was caused.
It's normal for people to be angry. He even thought that this drug store would be closed soon. But he didn't expect that the master would send Young Master Gu at the critical moment.
"Mr. Fang, please bring me the prescription for that day and see if there is anything wrong with it."
Since something went wrong while taking medicine in their pharmacy, of course, we must start with the prescription. Mr. Gu San asked and spoke. As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he turned around and took out the prescription of that day from the drawer. Mr. Gu San
He stretched out his hand to take it and looked at the medicinal materials on it. Baiguyue, galangal, saponin, and evodia were divided into equal parts. They were all made into thin noodles, pasted on the navel, and mixed with wine. Mr. Gu Sang was proficient in medicinal materials, so he naturally saw it.
The disease it treats.
"Is this a remedy for abdominal pain?"
"Yes, this is indeed a prescription for treating abdominal pain. We have always prescribed it this way, and no one has had an accident. Who knows, something suddenly happened, and it cost a life. In addition, I also prescribed an oral
The medicine is next to the paper." Shopkeeper Fang answered truthfully. In the past few decades, he has been prescribing this kind of prescription for abdominal pain. Besides, the drug store is also a time-honored brand, and it has some credibility. He has been practicing medicine for decades.
, and nothing ever went wrong.
"Did you get the wrong medicine?" Young Master Gu nodded. There was nothing wrong with the prescription.
"Wei Zeng, I personally prescribed this medicine, and I also picked it up with my own hands. Because the new handymen were relatively new, I was afraid that they would pick up the wrong medicine, so the medicinal materials were all verified by me." At that time, the shopkeeper Fang said.
Remember clearly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Third Young Master Gu looked at Shopkeeper Fang. Shopkeeper Fang had been in Gu Mansion for decades and was absolutely trustworthy. Holding the prescription in his hand, Third Young Master Gu put it into his sleeve. He looked at the mess in the drug store, even though there were servants sorting it out.
Medicinal materials, but still couldn't hide the panic. "Shop manager Fang, the drug store is temporarily closed. We will reopen it after this matter comes to light."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Fang accepted the order. Perhaps it would be best to lock him up for a while.
After walking out of the drug store, Liu Meizhuang and Xiao Fu followed Mr. Gu without saying a word. From the conversation between Mr. Gu and the shopkeeper just now, it was not difficult to tell that the Gu Mansion was really set up this time, and Gu Heng took it for granted.
A complete and utter mistake. What is the identity of the person who dares to offend the Gu family? Looking at the side face of Mr. Gu, Liu Meizhuang walked over.
"Madam, it's been a long journey and you haven't had a good rest yet, why don't you and Xiaofu go back to the inn first?" Young Master Gu looked at Liu Meizhuang.
"Well, husband, I'll leave first." After Liu Meizhuang said that, she pulled Xiaofu and got on the carriage. You are right, Third Young Master Gu must have encountered a problem now. He saw several servants following Young Master Gu.
Behind him, Liu Meizhuang's lips curled up.
"Miss, it seems that this matter is very difficult." Xiaofu suddenly opened the curtain and looked at Liu Meizhuang. He remembered his uncle's face just now. He seemed to have no thoughts at all, and he didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing for his uncle to take on this matter.
"Xiao Fu, you talk a lot. Even if it's a difficult situation, what can you do?" Liu Meizhuang glanced at Xiao Fu, clearly saying that she was worrying too much.
"Miss, aren't you worried about my uncle?" Xiaofu looked at Liu Meizhuang, she really wasn't worried about her uncle at all. It was all in vain that my uncle was so kind to her.
The crowd around them all moved out of the way, allowing Liu Meizhuang's carriage to pass unimpeded. However, among the crowd, there was a woman who was not afraid of death and was walking on the road. Xiaofu had no choice but to order someone to stop the carriage. Looking at the plainly dressed woman, he immediately
