I’m The King

In the blink of an eye, it was March of the third year of Dahan. It was the time when everything was resurrected, and the spring was blooming, but it was also a time when people were drowsy, and when the spring was full of sleepiness, Zhou Fucai sat in his own medicine store, leaning his head on the back of his chair Go, I'm sleeping on my own.

Every day, the Great Han Kingdom seems to be climbing a new level. The economic situation is getting better and better every day. The caravans going from north to south and the pedestrians are constantly filling up the small county town of Lixian every day. It is full, and when there are more people, this headache and brain fever will naturally cause more people with abdominal pain and diarrhea, and the business of his drugstore is also excellent.

Zhou Fucai not only runs a pharmacy, but he is also a doctor. He prescribes prescriptions with one hand and sells medicine with the other. He makes more money. Now, not more than in previous years, the influx of medicinal materials from the three counties of Liaodong has caused the price of medicinal materials to drop a lot. , But now that people have money in their hands, they naturally pay more attention to their own lives.If they feel uncomfortable, they come to the pharmacy to ask for medicine.This makes Zhou Fucai's income a lot more than in previous years.

A powerful voice came from the back hall, and Zhou Fucai, who was half asleep, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. His son was already seventeen. Last year, he had an appointment with a lady from the rich gentleman Lu family in the county, and next year he could marry a new wife and come in. , Speaking of his son, Zhou Fucai is very proud.The son has not only inherited his own skills, but also has a blue frame. Otherwise, the Lu family would not look after their own son.

Last year, I made five hundred taels of silver. This year's business looks better. Why should I make one thousand taels? The Lu family is a rich family, and the gifts they give must not be less, otherwise the bride will enter the door. He would underestimate his husband's family, and his son's waist can't be straight. The Lu family has already said that when the two families get married, they will cooperate in the medicine business together. The Lu family has a lot of old relationships, and he and his son have a hard time. The professional knowledge of the two is combined, then it is good for the two brothers!

"Boss Zhou, your relatives are here!" There was a loud voice from the door, and Zhou Fucai, who was immersed in the beautiful vision of the future, was startled. He knew that it was that. This was Wang Er on the same street. , There is an old lady in the family who has the old problem of coughing and washing, and she has to grab a pair of medicine here every three or five days.

"Wang Er, can't you be quiet? I'm not deaf?" Zhou Fucai stood up lazily, turned around sleepily, opened the medicine drawer, and skillfully grabbed a few medicines.

"Boss Zhou, your relatives are here, you said it was a coincidence that I was about to come to you to grab the medicine, so he grabbed me and asked your address, and I brought him here directly." Wang Er's voice was still this. So loud, it seems that it has always been like this.

Zhou Fucai didn't look back, and smiled: "My relatives are all around the country, and those who don't know the way to my home, don't have any relatives out of town?"

"Cousin, why did you forget me?" A low voice came from behind.

Zhou Fucai turned around, and the sunlight coming in from the door made him squint, and he didn't see the person who came: "Cousin?" He asked suspiciously.

The man outside walked inward a few steps, stood on the edge of the counter, and smiled softly: "Cousin, you are now well-developed, will you deny me, a poor relative in the field?

Zhou Fucai saw the person's appearance clearly, and suddenly the whole person froze wherever he went.As soon as he loosened his hand, he snapped, and all the medicine he had just grabbed for Wang Er fell to the ground, falling to pieces.

"Hey, Boss Zhou, what are you doing? I don't need this medicine. You have to give me another one. I have never missed you half the money?" Wang Er looked at the same time. When the medicine was thrown on the ground, he couldn't help but yelled, knocking on the counter with dissatisfaction, banging.

"Don't worry, my cousin has always been outspoken, and of course I will catch another pair for you." The guest smiled and said Wang Erdao: "Brother Wang, thank you for bringing me here. If it weren't for you, I would really not find it for a while. Here, there are so many people in Li County!"

"Isn't it? Although Li County is not big, it is the main means of transportation to enter Jicheng. In the past few years, there have been more people every year." Wang Er nodded his head again and again, his face was full of joy. "But there are so many people, we can make money if there are too many people, like my small courtyard, now I live in the same room with my old mother, and all the others are rented to these people, and I can earn a few taels of silver each month, otherwise where did I get it? Money is treating my old lady. I have been sick for all these years. She used to have a hard time. It was also my old lady's life. After a good day, since I started taking the medicine last year, the disease has gotten better day by day. It's not like before. A cough is all night."

"Brother Wang is really filial. Good people are rewarded, and your mother will definitely get better soon." The visitor praised.

"Thank you Ji Yan, hello, boss Zhou, what are you still doing? Get me the medicine quickly, my old lady is still waiting for me to go home to eat!" Wang Er knocked on the table again, "What's wrong with you, see Cousin was so silly to rejoice?"

The sound of banging on the counter surprised the silly Zhou Fucai, "Oh, yes, it's time for you to grab the medicine, I am so silly for joy, so silly for joy!"

Looking at the incoherent Zhou Fucai, Wang Er smiled and said: "It seems that Boss Zhou is really happy and stupid!"

The visitors just chuckled and didn't make a sound. They just looked at Zhou Fucai thoughtfully at his back. What Wang Er didn't notice was that Zhou Fucai's hand holding the medicine kept trembling, and he grabbed it several times. The medicinal materials fell back again.

Wang Er picked up the packaged medicine, paid half the money, and bowed his hand at the visitor. "Your cousins ​​have not seen you for many years. There must be a lot of things to say. I won't bother you. Say goodbye and say goodbye!"

"Okay, okay, Second Brother Wang is bold and unreasonable. When I settle down, I will find you for a drink." The guest smiled and returned the courtesy.

"Well, drinking. Although Wang Er is poor, I can afford a drink." Wang Er laughed and turned away.

As soon as Wang Er left, Zhou Fucai jumped out of the counter and ran to the door to close the door.

"Cousin, it's day and day, what do you do when you close the door, for fear that others won't know you have a mess here?" The visitor hugged his arms and leaned on the counter, looking at Zhou Fucai with a smile.

Zhou Fucai's outstretched hand froze for a while. After a while, he turned around with difficulty, looked at the visitor, and whispered: "Master Tan, you, why are you here?"

"Unexpectedly, I will come?" Tan Kang chuckled lightly. "How could a bunch of old brothers and young masters of our past have forgotten them? There were too many things before, but I couldn't be too busy. Naturally, I need to find the old brothers to recount the past, what's the matter, Lao Zhou, are you not welcome?"

"No, no, why wouldn't it be unwelcome?" Zhou Fucai swallowed, trying to calm himself down.

"Father, the medicine is ready." The curtain in the back hall was lifted, and a boy with thick eyebrows and eyes came out carrying a tray full of powdered medicine. Seeing the visitors, he glanced at his father's expression and was stunned. ,"Father, are you here?"

"Is this my cousin, it's all this tall!" Tan Kang walked over with a smile on his face, and looked up and down the boy. "I thought I even hugged you back then. By the way, cousin, cousin is called I can't remember any name!"

"My name is Zhou Youwei!" The young man said loudly, "Are you?"

"I am your cousin. I have been traveling all year round and haven't come back for many years. Look, your father didn't dare to recognize me just now?" Tan Kang laughed.

Zhou Fucaiqiang put on a smiling face, "Well, my cousin is here, I went back to the room to talk to my cousin, and you were looking after the shop outside."

"Don't worry, dad, you can't make a mistake!" Zhou Youwei nodded.

Zhou Fucai stretched out his hand, "Please, cousin!"

Tan Kang smiled slightly and strode inward.

With a bang, the door was closed tightly by Zhou Fucai, holding the latch in both hands, Zhou Fucai stared at Tan Kang, "Master Tan, what are you coming to me for? Yan Lingwei is gone, it's gone, I am now It's no longer Yan Lingwei's person."

Tan Kang squinted at Zhou Fucai, "Who said that Yan Lingwei is gone, and the young master is still here, so Yan Lingwei will not be gone. The young master is here, and Yan Lingwei is there."

"Master Tan, don't forget, there is a swallow in Yanlingwei. Now there is no Dayan. Master Tan is now a general of Daqin. The old Yanlingwei has long been scattered. Master Tan, I will serve Yanlingwei. For many years, there is no credit and hard work. Why should you come to trouble me again?" Zhou Fucai stared at the other person, "Master Tan, reading above the old feelings, I don't make it difficult for you, you go, we people , No one will be willing to go back to the old days."

Tan Kang looked at the other party and laughed happily. Instead of leaving, he stepped forward to a chair on the side, sat down, and looked at the other party and said, "You are doing very well now, and Youwei seems to be serious. Young and promising, listen. He is treating the patient, and he is rightly speaking!" Tankang tilted his head and listened for a while. "I also heard that you have married the Lu family, a wealthy businessman in Lixian County. There is a bright future in the medicinal business in partnership. No wonder you don't want to return to Yan Lingwei."

"I'll say it again, Yan Lingwei is no longer there. Since you have asked me so clearly, you know that I am just an ordinary man, and I can't help you, and I won't help you. ."

Tan Kang remained silent," Really? As far as I know, part of Yan Lingwei was killed by King Cao Yan because of resistance, and part of it followed Ning Xin and went to the Supervisory Yuan. With your ability, if you show your identity, you will go In the past, there was bound to be a good treatment. How did you become the owner of the drugstore?"

"Me!" Zhou Fucai's face was flushed.

"Oh, I remembered, our old brother Zhou was a master of the torture room before. Oh, yes, when we tried Ning Zecheng back then, old brother Zhou spared no effort. That acupuncture technique is similar to that of Lu Shiren from Donghu. It's a different approach and the same work, but Ning Zecheng can't survive under your hands, and you can't ask for death. Now Ning Xin is the princess of the Han Dynasty. I heard that the King of Han is very fond of her. Name and bury your surname, for fear that they will know your past." Tan Kang looked at Zhou Fucai, whose complexion had turned pale," Brother Zhou, you have no way out. If your identity is revealed, would you say that Ning Xin will pick you up? As for the skin, hey, then the life of our nephew must be dark and tight. Can we keep our lives? We really have to say two things!" (to be continued)
