Chapter 334: Precious Medicine Pavilion, a distinguished guest has arrived
Her second brother seemed to be becoming more and more dissolute and ignorant. In recent years, half of the jokes in Kyoto were caused by him.
Rumor has it that Shu Yuanqi was silent for a while after Shu Yuanqing's death, and after that he completely let himself go.
He often spread the word outside that he had become the eldest son of the Shu family, and that all the Shu family's property would belong to him from now on, and that everyone in the Shu family would have to obey his orders!
From then on, Shu Yuanqi became a frequent visitor to major gambling houses and brothels in Kyoto, and made friends with all kinds of people.
Of course, more than that, he is also keen on flattering the children of wealthy families and always wants to fit in, but he doesn't know that others only see him as a joke!
Some people say that he has been suppressed by the eldest son for too long and could not let go before. Now, with the love of his stepmother and the support of his father, he has completely become a playboy.
The third son of the Shu family is only fourteen years old. In recent years, he has often followed him around various places of entertainment and has become a well-known figure in the capital.
Half a year ago, there were rumors that the second and third young masters shared a woman.
Back then, some people joked that if that woman had a child, she probably wouldn't even know who the father was!
Later, it seemed that someone took action to suppress all the jokes about the Shu family, so that everyone's conversations were not so open and aboveboard.
If the only good thing about the second son of the Shu family is that he has never done anything criminal, it would be that.
He doesn't like to force people, doesn't like to owe debts, and won't bully others by taking advantage of his power.
However, compared with his absurd behavior, this advantage seems to be less noticed by people.
Shu He looked at him, and didn't seem to mind the harsh words they exchanged in the past.
Now, she no longer longs for the "family love" that she can never get.
But, is the Shu Yuanqi today the real Shu Yuanqi?
Then she left, and under Shu Yuanqi's calm gaze, she left smoothly, leaving the Shu family in chaos.
Jinchengfang, Zhenyaoge.
Zhenyaoge is located on the back street of Xishi. The first floor of the front hall sells medicine and prescriptions. Every ten days, Mr. Liu, the best doctor in Kyoto, provides free medical consultations.
"When is Mr. Liu from the Precious Medicine Pavilion's next free clinic? I heard he's very famous, and I want to come and see him too!"
A young man in brocade clothes, waving a folding fan, stood at the door of the Treasure Pavilion and asked the people queuing next to him.
"Mr. Liu's free clinic only treats common people and poor families. I'm afraid he won't accept someone like you."
The person at the front of the line kindly explained.
The young man was puzzled and said angrily, "Why don't you treat the children of rich families, but only the poor? Could it be that Mr. Liu hates the rich?"
"I'd like to see why he refuses to take it!" After saying that, he ignored the long queue next to him and was about to go in.
"What are you doing?!" At this time, the people queuing at the door excitedly stepped forward and stopped him, with ferocious looks on their faces.
"What are you going to do? Do I need your permission to see the young master? Why are you stopping me?"
The boy stepped back and patted the places on his body where he had been touched, with a look of disgust on his face.
"I can tell it's your first time here!" An elderly man with a face over sixty began to explain, "This Treasure Pharmacy is different from other pharmacies. Aside from the consultations once every ten days, this Treasure Pharmacy only sells medicine, not medical treatment!"
The boy blushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment showing on his face.
Is that so? He really didn't know!
"What's wrong with you?! Can't I just buy some medicine?"
At this time, someone else explained, "You have to queue up to buy medicine! This is the rule set by the Precious Medicine Pavilion!"
The young man looked unhappy. "I have to queue up with you? Why? The previous First Pharmacy, Xia's Pharmacy, didn't have such a rule!"
"So he became 'Once Number One'!"
Someone confronted him with something that left him speechless for a long time.
Seeing him like this, some people couldn't help but tease him, "Young Master, there are ways to avoid queuing. It all depends on your ability!"
Hearing this, the young man really took the bait and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In addition to selling common medicines for injuries and illnesses, this Treasure Pavilion also sells some extremely rare herbs and finished medicines. If you want to buy those medicines, you can skip the line and go in directly."
"But, those medicinal herbs start at five thousand taels. Young Master, do you have that much money?"
When the young man heard this, his pupils were shaking, "What? Five thousand taels?! Why doesn't he just rob it?!"
Seeing his reaction, most of the people in the queue laughed.
The young man, his face flushed, slapped his fan twice and said stubbornly, "It's not that I don't have money, but is the medicine here worth the price?"
"Why not? Wang Deshun, the owner of the number one restaurant in West City, is over forty years old. He's married seven times in the past twenty years, but he still has no children. Last month he came here to ask for medicine, and sure enough, two days ago he brought his wife back to announce the good news: she's pregnant!"
"And there's Lord Wen, the Minister of Works. His mother also had a strange illness, so he put his whole family's resources into buying a miraculous medicine. The next day, her illness was cured, and he sent a gift of thanks!"
"Many things like this have happened in the past two months. Do you still dare to doubt the strength of the Precious Medicine Pavilion?"
"That's right! Although Zhenyao Pavilion has only been established for less than half a year, it has already become the most conscientious pharmacy in Kyoto! Doctor Liu only charges poor people one cent for the medicine during his free consultations. The consultations are free!"
"Young Master, if you're not here sincerely to buy medicine, please leave immediately. We won't allow anyone to cause trouble here!"
"That's right, hurry up and leave! Don't interfere with the business of Zhenyao Pavilion!"
……
The boy blushed and could not stand the crowd's chasing, so he had to run away with his tail between his legs.
Before leaving, he said with some determination, "I'm not running away! I'm going home to get the money. Today, I want to see what kind of miracle medicine this Treasure Pavilion has!"
When everyone saw this scene, they burst into laughter.
Shu He sat by the window on the second floor, with a clear view of the situation downstairs. Seeing how the people were protecting the precious medicine pavilion, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
At this time, a few more people came from behind the crowd.
The leader was a man in dark blue brocade clothes, with his hair tied up with an exquisite jade crown and a round white jade belt around his waist. He looked very noble at first glance.
Everyone looked at the newcomer, thinking that he was just like the previous young man, all show and no substance, so they started to mock him, saying, "If you can't come up with five thousand taels, then just stand in line behind us! This isn't the Precious Medicine Pavilion..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the servant beside the nobleman take out a silver note.
These people may not be able to read, but they can recognize the gold seal on the silver note!
That is the personal seal of Zhuang Ruolan, the owner of the largest bank in Tianqi, and it can only be used for ten thousand taels of silver notes!
“Ten thousand taels!!”
Everyone was stunned with astonishment, and some even had a burning desire in their eyes, but that greed only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
After all, people love money more than life.
Anyone who can casually take out 10,000 taels of silver notes must have extraordinary strength and financial resources. Such a huge fortune is not something that ordinary people like them dare to covet!
"May my master come in?"
The boy snorted coldly and glanced at the people in line with contempt.
Everyone lowered their heads and brows and said nothing more.
You have money, you are the boss, you go ahead!
This Zhenyaoge has to make money. If it doesn't make money from you rich and powerful people, how can it provide free medical treatment to us ordinary people?
It’s better to buy more so that the owner of this precious medicine pavilion can make more money!
At this time, a medicine boy came out of the precious medicine pavilion and respectfully welcomed the guest in.
Shu He nudged Zhang Zhirou, who was dozing off next to him, and said, "Wake up, a guest is here."
"Ah, they're here?" Zhang Zhirou jumped up in surprise. "What should I prepare?"
"Three Qi Condensation Pills, two Resurrection Pills, a box of Rejuvenating Cream, and a few Fitness Pills." Shu He raised his lips to smile slyly. If he didn't make money, he would lose money.
Zhang Zhirou responded and left, but before she came back, the people downstairs had been brought up.
"Mr. Liu, a distinguished guest is visiting."
The voice of the medicine boy was heard outside the door, and Shu He had already brewed the tea.
"come in."
The man in brocade clothes, accompanied by two of his men and led by the medicine boy, walked into the small reception hall on the second floor.
Suddenly, the aroma of tea filled the air, bringing with it a miraculous effect of making one feel relaxed and happy.
The three of them stood opposite Shu He, and tea was already prepared on the tea table.
"Your Highness Prince Nanyu, please take a seat."
