The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Huichuntang is a medicine shop, and the ancients had many taboos. They would not easily go to a medicine shop if they were not sick or in pain, for fear of being contaminated by evil spirits.

However, Huichuntang is different.

With a hint of doubt, the crowd entered the medicine shop in twos and threes and glanced at the dazzling array of medicine boxes, most of which contained udon, forsythia, ginseng, bupleurum and other medicinal materials.

At this moment, everyone understood that this pharmacy was exactly as Miss Xie said, and it mainly treated typhoid fever.

The servant looked at the hall full of people and immediately leaned over and said, "Everyone! This is a pharmacy, not a restaurant. If you are not sick, please leave immediately."

After listening to the servant's words, everyone did not feel it was abrupt. After taking a quick glance, they waved their hands towards the three people at the door, apologized and left.

At this time, a man in brocade clothes noticed the dazzling array of porcelain bottles on the medicine cabinet and couldn't help but wonder, "Servant! What kind of medicinal herbs are these?"

"This young man has good eyesight."

The servant first praised it, paused for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "This thing is a special medicine developed by Huichuntang, mainly for treating frostbite."

"frostbite?"

The man opened the porcelain bottle in his hand with doubt, but apart from an inexplicable medicinal fragrance, he could not see anything special.

The servant's voice instantly attracted a crowd of people to come over to the counter, and they all stretched their necks to look at the porcelain bottle in the man's hand.

"Hey, boy, is this better than the frostbite cream from Chengchuntang on the front street?"

"That's natural."

The servant replied confidently, then picked up a porcelain bottle and said loudly: "The frostbite ointment of our Huichuntang is carefully prepared with a variety of precious medicinal materials, and the curative effect is remarkable."

"That's it? That's what everyone who buys medicine says. Does it have any special effects?" someone asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, the servant did not rush to reply, but took some frostbite ointment and applied it on his arm.

He slowly showed his arm to everyone and said loudly: "This frostbite cream actually has a unique feature. It can not only treat frostbite, but also prevent it. As long as you apply it on your hands and feet before winter, you can ensure that you will not get frostbite throughout the winter."

"This!~"

Everyone was shocked and excited. But after hearing the servant's introduction, they showed hesitation again.

Especially those businessmen who are often on the go, can't wait to buy a few bottles at this moment.

"Hey boy! How much is this frostbite ointment?" someone asked anxiously.

The man's words really touched everyone's heart. After all, such a valuable item must be expensive.

The servant glanced at everyone and understood immediately. He smiled innocently and said, "Not expensive, only fifty or thirty cents a bottle."

"Thirty cents? Are you kidding? I think the bottle costs seven or eight cents."

The servant looked at the man in brocade clothes in front of him and immediately said with a smile, "Sir, the price is set by the boss. It is indeed thirty cents per bottle."

When everyone heard that it only cost thirty coins, they didn't even think twice and took out their money to buy the frostbite cream. Soon, a long line formed in front of the counter.

Looking at the crowded pharmacy, Xie Shuting said with a hint of worry: "Brother Dong! The private school will open tomorrow. Who will you arrange to be the shopkeeper here?"

Dong Pingchang stroked his hand awkwardly and said, "Ms. Xie! I really don't know how to do business. I can trust Miss Xie, but I'll leave it to Miss Xie to make the arrangements."

Xie Shuting nodded at Xie Ningzhi after hearing this, and then said softly, "Then I have overstepped my authority. Brother Dong, just be a hands-off manager."

"Then I'd like to trouble Miss Xie to take the trouble. I would like to thank you very much."

As soon as Dong Pingchang finished speaking, Xie Ningzhi took the opportunity to reach out and hooked his arm around her shoulders, saying, "Little sister! Mr. Dong and I will go to the private school to take a look, you two can take your time to look around!"

Lian Xi understood what he meant, and walked forward slowly and said, "Miss! Do you have any instructions?"

"Go and inform Manager Lian of Yue Lai Inn and ask him to take charge of Hui Chun Tang first."

Xie Shuting said this, looked at the waiter who was still busy at the counter and said, "Tell him to take care of the man. Doctor Li is hard of hearing and needs a smart one."

"Yes!~" Lian Xi leaned over and responded.

Xie Shuting looked back at Huichuntang again, then got on the carriage and let Lian Xi lead her for a stroll in Laigu County.

......

On a narrow path between Yong and An prefectures, several horse-drawn carriages were moving slowly.

Around the carriage, there were dozens of attendants wearing black robes embroidered with dragons, all of them had piercing eyes, yet they could not hide their murderous intent.

“Stop!~”

Qi Yue raised his hand to stop the convoy, rode forward and glanced at the dense forest, asking: "What area are we in now?"

"Reporting to Captain Qi! We are currently in Yongzhou. As long as we cross the mountain in front of us, we will reach Anzhou. It will be much faster to take the water route later."

"What time is it now?" Qi Yue suddenly asked.

The attendant was a little confused. He glanced at the sun and leaned over to ask, "Is it just after 5 p.m.?"

"Everyone be on alert and stay where you are." Qi Yue waved his hand and gave the order immediately.

The guards naturally did not dare to object, and immediately dismounted and began to clean up the site. Qi Yue rode forward and ran another half a mile before returning to the camp.

At this time, the bonfire in the camp had been lit, and the guards, according to the usual plan, surrounded the carriages outside to create fortifications.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, a guard hurried forward, took Qi Yue's reins and asked, "Are you worried that something might go wrong tonight?"

Upon hearing this, everyone came over, murderous intent in their eyes.

Qi Yue took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "We entered this mountain range at 3 p.m. If we speed up, we can get out of the mountain at 4 p.m. But didn't you find any problems?"

Everyone instantly fell into deep thought, with worry evident on their brows, and it was difficult to see the key point.

Qi Yue glanced at everyone and stopped playing dumb. He said in a serious tone, "The 3:00 p.m. time is when birds eat and return to their nests, but this mountain range is too quiet. Something must be wrong if things are not going well."

"Your Excellency, are you saying that there are people lying in ambush ahead?"

"I hope my estimation is wrong. If there really is someone lying in ambush ahead, they will definitely kill us." Qi Yue said with some concern.

"Silencing? Your Excellency is exaggerating. We are the Ministry of Punishment. Who would dare to..."

"Then how did the brothers die before?" Qi Yue interrupted the guard coldly, and then changed the subject: "Since the other party has taken action, they will definitely not leave any evidence behind."

"And tonight?"

"Everyone should not sleep too deeply tonight, be careful of accidents." Qi Yue looked at one person and said, "You and the young master are of similar size, so who is between us if you put on the young master's clothes?"

"Yes!" the guard responded quickly.

As night fell, no birds were heard in the forest. At this moment, everyone was sure that there must be an ambush ahead.
