This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 164 Asking for medicine from Senior Sister, misunderstanding with Senior Sister
The bells keep ringing.

It lasted from noon to evening, and from evening to dark.

The birthday party at the Jia family ended immediately.

All festive items were taken down and destroyed.

Everyone in the Jia family looked as if they had lost their parents. They were in a panic, or in a trance, with a look of confusion on their faces.

When Grandmother Jia heard the news, she burst into tears.

The entire Jia Mansion seemed to have suddenly collapsed, and the atmosphere of joy and happiness instantly turned into sadness and depression.

The guests dispersed in a hurry.

Luo Zijun also followed Miss Bai San, got on the carriage, and left silently.

There were laughter and joy when they came, and the atmosphere was heavy when they left.

On the street, the hawkers' shouts suddenly disappeared, and pedestrians immediately hurried home.

Teams of soldiers passed by with solemn expressions.

The carriage moved slowly along the street.

There was silence in the carriage for a long time before Bai Qingtong spoke up: "The eldest daughter of the Jia family had just been promoted to imperial concubine, but the king suddenly passed away. For the Jia family, it was really like the sky had fallen."

Luo Zijun looked at her and said, "Is that imperial concubine having a hard time in the palace?"

Bai Qingtong was silent for a moment, then said, "When the king was here, it was nothing."

The implication is that now that the king has passed away, something might happen.

Apart from the king, the queen is the most powerful person in the palace.

The queen and the imperial concubine are mostly incompatible, and the imperial concubine is a newly promoted one.

When the king is around, the concubine is naturally safe with his support.

Now that the king is gone, the queen is the only one who has the final say in the palace. If the imperial concubine had conflicts with her before, now she is like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of the queen.

That's why the Jia family was so frightened and panicked when they heard the news of the king's death.

According to the book, Yuanchun died suddenly, probably because of palace fighting.

After Yuanchun's death, the Jia family collapsed completely.

Luo Zijun thought all the way and said to himself: Lai Da in the book had already escaped before the Jia family was ransacked, and used the money he embezzled from the Jia family to live a good life, so he successfully avoided the disaster.

When he saw Lai Da today, he knew that he was no simple man and was even a martial artist.

Therefore, it should be impossible to rely on the master of the Jia family to deal with him.

Even if they got evidence that the other party was greedy for money, the most they could do was expel him from the house. After all, Nanny Lai still had some face in front of Lady Jia.

In that case, it would be more in line with the other party's wishes.

Lai Da is now a servant of the Jia family, and his slave contract is still in the Jia family. If he is expelled, he will completely get rid of his slave status and regain his freedom.

The other party is now very wealthy and has a son who is a county magistrate. If he could get rid of his slave status, wouldn't he be able to live a freer life?

Looking at the cowardly look of the head of the Jia family, it is obvious that he is unreliable.

So, you still have to rely on yourself.

Either practice martial arts, take revenge directly with force, or use other strategies.

Thinking this, the carriage quickly returned to the Bai Mansion.

After getting off the car, Bai Qingtong went into the mansion with him.

When they were about to part at the intersection, Bai Qingtong said to him, "I guess I won't be able to come to see you for a month. The school will also be temporarily suspended, so you should just study hard at home."

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "Miss Third, just take care of your own business."

Bai Qingtong looked solemn and left in a hurry.

Luo Zijun brought Xiaohuan and Zhiyuan back to Junziju. After giving some instructions to the two maids, she went to the backyard to practice.

What happens outside has nothing to do with him.

All he needs to do now is practice well.

Soon, the sound of boxing practice was heard in the backyard.

The Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar Fist is not like the Mountain-Splitting Fist, which uses thunderbolt moves right away. Instead, it progresses step by step, gradually increasing in speed and momentum, and its power also builds up slowly.

The further you go back, the more powerful it becomes.

After practicing it several times, he became more proficient and could perform a set fluently without pausing to recall or looking at a book.

He began to speed up.

The blood in the whole body quickly began to heat up and flow.

With each move, the bones seemed to suddenly make a sound, in harmony with the strong wind generated by the fist. It was small at first, but gradually began to grow bigger.

During the evening medicinal bath, the last of the medicinal ingredients were used up.

However, the effect is obviously not very obvious.

After taking the medicinal bath and washing himself, he said something to the two maids and then went out.

First he changed his clothes, put on a hat and mask, and went to another warrior pharmacy.

The reason why he didn't go to Juxiantang was that he was afraid that buying medicinal materials for the fourth level of warriors in such a short time would arouse suspicion.

After entering the pharmacy, he directly stated his purpose.

The shop owner skillfully brought over a dozen medicinal herbs, introduced them one by one, and then stated the price: thirty taels per portion.

Luo Zijun felt pain in his heart when he heard this.

One serving costs thirty taels, which means that every time he takes a medicinal bath, it costs thirty taels.

It costs thirty taels a day. If my sister and brother-in-law knew about it, they would be scared to death.

But since I want to practice, I definitely can't save this money.

He took out all the silver he had, bought fifteen copies, and left.

After wandering around the nearby alleys and streets for a while, he took off his black clothes, his bamboo hat and his mask, put on a Confucian robe, performed a disguise, took out a bronze mirror to look at himself, and then walked towards Bao'an Hall.

He decided to try out the new art of disguise he had learned.

In the shop, a woman picked up some medicine and left. Su Qingling, who was wearing a white dress, was counting money behind the counter with her head down.

Luo Zijun entered the store, slapped the counter, and said in a rough voice: "Get the medicine!"

Su Qingling frowned slightly, still looking down and fiddling with the abacus, as if she didn't hear what he said.

"Snapped!"

Luo Zijun raised his hand and slapped the counter again, saying, "Miss, I need to get some medicine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingling suddenly picked up the rolling pin under the counter and smashed it at his hand.

Luo Zijun quickly retracted his hand and stepped back, glaring at her: "How can you, little girl, hit someone?"

Su Qingling lowered her head and fiddled with the abacus again. After she finished counting the money, she raised her head, looked at him coldly and said, "What medicine do you want? Aphrodisiac?"

Luo Zijun: “…”

Obviously, the girl recognized him.

Luo Zijun stopped pretending and took out the medicine bag in his arms, saying, "Is it because of the smell of the poison again?"

Su Qingling looked at him coldly and did not answer.

Luo Zijun put away the medicine bag and pointed at his face and said, "My eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, chin, and temperament have all changed. How can you recognize this? Senior sister, tell me why!"

Su Qingling said in a light tone: "Ears, hair, neck, hands, smell, teeth, tongue, buttocks, I know everything better than you do. If you have the ability, you can change them all."

Luo Zijun: “…”

"Hahahahaha..."

Su Dafang suddenly came down from upstairs carrying a medicine box on his back. He almost fell down laughing and looked at him and said, "Disciple, your senior sister has studied every part of your body thoroughly. Even if you turned into ash, she would still recognize you."

Luo Zijun was speechless and could only turn his face to him and said, "Master, can you recognize me?"

Su Dafang immediately glared and said, "Do you think I'm your senior sister? I spend all day studying your body? I'm a serious person!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and left with the medicine box.

Luo Zijun suddenly said: "Master, the king is dead."

Su Dafang stopped at the door, turned his head and said, "If he's dead, then he's dead. What does it have to do with us? We should eat and drink. If he dies, does that mean we won't live anymore?"

Luo Zijun said: "But I heard that he has no children."

Su Dafang suddenly turned around, looked at him and asked, "Why, do you want to replace him?"

Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he said, "I just feel that the government may be turbulent, and the city may not be safe recently. Master, are you so bold as to say such a thing?"

Su Dafang rolled his eyes and said, "There are only three of us here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Luo Zijun immediately said: "Master, you are not allowed to swear in front of Senior Sister!"

Su Dafang ignored him and walked away.

Luo Zijun returned to his original appearance, walked to the counter and whispered: "Senior sister, can you give me the bottle of aphrodisiac you took away last time? I want to give it to someone."

He planned to use it to fool Mr. Jia.

As for Wu Shi San, he knew some of the ingredients, so maybe he could try to make a furnace himself, or buy some somewhere else. Su Qingling narrowed her eyes, looked at him and said, "You want to eat it yourself, right?"

Luo Zijun said: "I knew that Senior Sister would doubt me. If I wanted to eat it myself, I would ask Senior Sister to refine it for me. How could I dare to eat something I picked up? It was really a gift."

Then he whispered, "I am going to give it to the eldest master of the Jia family, Jia She."

Su Qingling's eyes moved and she asked, "Did you go to the Jia Mansion today?"

Luo Zijun said, "Yes, a young lady from the Jia family is having her birthday today and she invited me to go."

Su Qingling asked coldly: "Why did the other party invite you?"

Luo Zijun said: "Because I am talented and handsome."

Su Qingling picked up the rolling pin under the counter.

Luo Zijun quickly told the truth: "Last time at the Marquis of Bowang's mansion, I owed Miss Jia a favor. I went there today to thank them."

"What favor?"

Su Qingling narrowed her eyes, her pretty face looking grim.

Luo Zijun said: "I told you last time, because of Miss Liu..."

Helplessly, he told the story of that day again.

This time, he also told the story of Miss Jia.

After hearing this, Su Qingling clenched the rolling pin in her hand, her pretty face frosty: "You didn't say last time that people said you were the son-in-law of the Jia family!"

"Didn't you tell me? Maybe you forgot."

Luo Zijun tried to argue awkwardly.

Seeing that her face was not right, he hurriedly said, "I went there today and explained it directly to the two Masters Jia. The second Miss Jia also said that she didn't want to marry me, and then she was beaten by Master Jia. I went to stop them, but I couldn't bear it anymore, so I snatched the feather duster and beat Master Jia, so..."

"Senior sister, please give me that bottle of aphrodisiac. I want to poison that old pervert to death."

Luo Zijun begged.

Su Qingling looked at him coldly for a while before turning around, opening the drawer, taking out the bottle of medicine and placing it on the counter.

Luo Zijun quickly took it, shook it, and found that there were quite a few inside.

Su Qingling said coldly: "You'd better not try it. This medicine is not made correctly. It contains arsenic."

Luo Zijun was surprised and asked, "Is it really poisonous?"

Then his eyes lit up again: "Senior sister can really refine it? I have a friend..."

"You come in."

Before he could finish, Su Qingling said coldly: "I know where your friend is hiding. Come in, I'll catch him and tell you."

Luo Zijun: “…”

"Senior Sister, have you heard of Wushisan?"

He quickly changed the subject.

Su Qingling frowned slightly and did not answer.

Luo Zijun said: "I also need to give him a bottle of Wushisan. I know what materials to use to refine that thing, but I have never refined pills before, so I am afraid I can't make it. So I plan to buy a bottle for him. I wonder where I can buy it?"

Su Qingling suddenly stretched out her hand and said, "Five hundred taels, I will refine it for you."

"what……"

Luo Zijun's face was immediately filled with surprise: "Senior sister can also make Five Stones Powder?"

Then he immediately flattered her: "Senior Sister, why do I feel that you are omnipotent? What else can you refine? Can you refine the elixir of immortality?"

Su Qingling looked at him coldly with her beautiful eyes, her hand stretched out, ignoring him.

Luo Zijun could only say unhappily: "I only have over 400 taels of silver left, which I just used to buy medicinal materials for the medicinal bath. Now I don't have a penny left..."

Su Qingling withdrew her hand, lowered her head to work on the abacus, and ignored him.

Luo Zijun begged, "Senior Sister, I picked up so much silver last time and gave it to you. Isn't it enough? If it's not enough, I'll pick it up again next time, okay? Just help me refine a bottle."

Su Qingling lowered her head and fiddled with the abacus for a while before taking out two porcelain bottles from under the counter and placing them on the counter. She looked at him coldly and said, "Corpse powder, you asked for it last time. So the silver you gave me has been used up."

"Corpse powder?"

Luo Zijun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took it in his hand and said, "Senior Sister, did you really help me refine it? Does this thing really have the effect you said?"

Su Qingling ignored him and continued to fiddle with the abacus with her head down.

Luo Zijun immediately accepted it happily, and flattered her again, and then continued to beg: "Senior sister, in the future, I will give you all the silver I pick up and earn, okay?"

Su Qingling remained cold and ignored him.

Luo Zijun had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go borrow some money?"

Chu Jian recently sold a new book, so there must be money there.

Hearing this, Su Qingling raised her head, narrowed her eyes, stared at him coldly for a while, and said, "Her money is also mine."

"what?"

Luo Zijun was stunned and said, "Senior Sister, what does other people's money have to do with you?"

Who knew that just as these words came out, a crisp voice suddenly rang out at the door: "Miss Ling'er, I'm here to give you some silver."

Luo Zijun turned his head and saw that it was the girl Bier.

When Bi'er saw him, she snorted proudly and ignored him. She walked to the counter, put the purse in her arms on the counter, and said crisply, "Except for the money given to the princess, there are still 420 taels in total. The young lady asked me to bring them all to you. Please count them."

Su Qingling picked up the purse, put it in the drawer, and said calmly: "No need to count it."

"Oh."

Bier said "Oh" and prepared to leave.

Luo Zijun quickly grabbed her and said, "Bi'er, why are you giving her money? Is this money for my book?"

Bi'er snorted and said, "You wrote the book, and we sold the book. As for why it was sent here, you can ask Miss Ling'er and my young lady. I am a stupid little maid, how would I know?"

After saying that, she broke free and ran away.

Luo Zijun: “…”

There was silence in the room.

Luo Zijun hurriedly walked to the counter and said, "Senior Sister, that's the money I earned from writing books..."

Su Qingling lowered her head and turned the abacus, and said coldly: "Go ask her for it. She gave it to me."

Luo Zijun stared at her for a while, and suddenly asked: "Senior Sister, do you often go to the book room to see her?"

Su Qingling raised her head upon hearing this, looked at him coldly and asked, "Why, are you afraid that I will cause trouble for her?"

Luo Zijun was silent for a moment, and said: "She...she is quite pitiful. Can you please not bother her in the future? And this money, her family needs it, she..."

"roll."

Su Qingling suddenly looked at him coldly and clenched her fists.

Luo Zijun glanced at her face, moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

"I'm leaving."

He said no more and turned to leave.

After leaving the store, I walked directly towards Chu Jian Bookstore.

When they arrived at the library, Xiao Lan was placing new books in front of the bookshelf. When she saw him, she quickly shouted upstairs, "Miss, Master Luo is here!"

Luo Zijun asked: "Xiao Lan, has Miss Su come here during this period?"

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said, "That very beautiful Miss Su? She only came twice, and after she left with you, sir, she never came again. What happened?"

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment and went upstairs immediately.

Upstairs, Liu Chujian was wearing a pink dress and standing on tiptoe, arranging books in front of the bookshelf. When she saw him coming up, she smiled and said, "I heard from Bi'er that Brother Zijun was scolded in the pharmacy just now?"

Luo Zijun said: "How could that be? She wouldn't dare to scold me."

Bi'er was smiling not far away.

Luo Zijun couldn't help but ask, "Chu Jian, why did you give her the money you earned?"

Liu Chujian put the books away, then turned around and looked at him, smiling, "Chujian was afraid that Brother Zijun would feel embarrassed to come here often to get money, so he asked Bi'er to take it and put it there. Brother Zijun can go there and take it whenever he needs it in the future."

Luo Zijun said: "Didn't she come here to ask for it?"

Liu Chujian smiled when he heard this and said, "What is Brother Zijun talking about? How could Sister Su come to ask me for money? Brother Zijun hasn't been here for a while. When Chujian has nothing to do, he often goes to Sister Su to talk and then offers to leave the money he earns with her."

Luo Zijun fell silent.

Liu Chujian came in front of him and said softly, "Brother Zijun, every time I went there, Sister Su was pounding or refining medicine. When I asked her about it, she didn't say anything. Once I ran into Grandpa Su, and he said angrily that they were all refined for you. He also said that he spent a lot of his coffin money to buy medicinal materials for you to practice. Those medicines... should be very expensive, right?"

Luo Zijun was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "Chu Jian, I'm going to the pharmacy and will come back later."

Having said that, he immediately went downstairs.

Liu Chujian whispered upstairs: "Brother Zijun, you don't have to come over tonight."

Luo Zijun didn't say anything else, and quickly left the store and disappeared into the street outside.
