Chapter 535 Entering the Chapter Family (for Subscription)
Since the guards of the palace were killed, officers and soldiers came and went on the small road leading to Moujia Village from Yunxi City. This situation lasted for two consecutive days. On the third day, I don’t know if I found out the truth or gave up. , All the officers and soldiers withdrew.

Because of this, Zhang Twelve stayed at home for two days. During these two days, he had nothing to do but talk with Mou Xiaoxiao, make medicine for Mou Xiaoxiao, and watch her drink the medicine.

What surprised Zhang Twelve was that after drinking the medicine for two days, Mou Xiaoxiao's complexion did not improve at all. Zhang Twelve wondered whether the old Mr. Hua had prescribed fake medicine for him.

It's not to blame Zhang Twelve for thinking too much. The main reason is that Mr. Hua gave away ten sets of traditional Chinese medicine that usually cost more than two taels of silver.

no!Gotta find out!
So on the day when the officers and soldiers withdrew, Zhang Twelve secretly took a pair of medicine and hid it on his body, then went out and went straight to Yunxi City.

After arriving in Yunxi City, Zhang Twelve didn't go to Watson's pharmacy first, but went to another relatively smaller pharmacy.

When a young apprentice saw Zhang Twelve coming in, he immediately came out to greet him: "Master, are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"

When Zhang Twelve saw that there was no one around, he took out the medicine in his clothes, opened it in front of the little apprentice, and asked quietly: "Little brother, help me see what is in this medicine." ah?"

Hearing this, the little apprentice immediately raised his eyebrows, took a step back, and looked at Zhang Twelve warily.

Zhang Twelve was taken aback for a moment before he realized that this was a big taboo among doctors. There were many prescriptions that were uniquely kept secret, and they were treasured treasures of some doctors, so they would not tell others.

If other people said it casually, it would be considered a violation of the rules, that's why the young apprentice had such an expression.

After Zhang Twelve understood, he smiled and asked again: "Little brother, it's like this! My family is poor, but in order to treat my sister's illness, I spent a lot of money to buy a pair of medicines on the street. The man said that there were ginseng, Valuable medicinal materials such as deer antler and Tianshan snow lotus cost me five taels of silver! After buying the medicine, I was not at ease, so I wanted to find someone to take a look, don't be deceived!"

Hearing this, the little apprentice's expression calmed down, and he said, "If you really want to see a doctor and buy medicine, it's better to come to a regular pharmacy like ours! You don't know, there are some charlatans everywhere now. Not to mention being cheated and losing money, I'm afraid that the medicine they gave is not a good medicine, and it will delay the illness after taking it, how can this be good?"

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve nodded repeatedly, smiled apologetically, and handed over the medicine again.

This time the little apprentice didn't shirk, and walked forward, just took a look, and said directly: "You have been cheated!"

"what?"

Although I also have guesses in this regard, I am still a little disappointed when I think that the upright old Mr. Hua would lie to me.

Somewhat unwillingly, he asked again: "Little brother, did you read it correctly? Would you like to take a closer look?"

Hearing this, the little apprentice raised his eyebrows again, as if being questioned, and said very upset: "Don't look at me as young, but I have followed the master to catch Chinese medicine for ten years, how could I be wrong? "

Then he pointed to the medicine: "It's just some Qi-invigorating medicines such as Astragalus and Atractylodes Rhizome, and it doesn't have the three precious medicinal materials you mentioned! He just lied to you that you don't know anything. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that ginseng needs to be wrapped separately and fried separately, and velvet antler needs to be wrapped separately, ground into powder and mixed with water, while Tianshan snow lotus is light in texture, easy to break after prolonged frying, so it needs to be wrapped separately and then consumed. You see Look at your medicine, where is it?"

What the little apprentice said was right, and Zhang Twelve had already believed it.

He clenched his fist, then loosened it again.

Mr. Hua gave himself ten sets of medicines for free. Although he didn't ask for them, they were still some tonics. He had no reason to blame others. He was just very puzzled. Why did Mr. Hua do this?Is it because those precious medicinal materials are sold out?That doesn't have to be like this, just tell yourself directly!
Forget it, why not buy it here!

Zhang Twelve still had the scraps of silver that Boss Mou gave him a few days ago, and there were four or five taels of silver in his hands, so he said to the little apprentice, "Hey, you goddamn liar!"

The little apprentice was also a little regretful: "Why don't you hurry up and find that liar and get the money back?"

Zhang Twelve shook his head and said, "I was afraid of coming here because I couldn't find that person. That person probably lied to me and ran away. Where can I find him?"

Sighing, Zhang Twelve said again: "Hey, count me as unlucky! But I still have to take this medicine! Little brother, help me get some of those three medicines!"

Zhang Twelve thought that these three medicines are the most expensive, and the effect is probably the best. If he catches these three medicines and mixes them with the previous medicines, the effect should be good, right?
Unexpectedly, the little apprentice had an awkward smile on his face after hearing this: "Master, I'm really sorry, our pharmacy is too small, how can we dare to buy such expensive traditional Chinese medicine? Why don't you go to Watson's pharmacy? They The family is big and the business is big, there should be..."

These three kinds of traditional Chinese medicines are too expensive, and this pharmacy is not big, and there are very few people who come to get the medicines every day. If they can't sell them, will they die?

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve frowned. It seems that he still has to go to Watson's Pharmacy!

…………

After coming out of the small pharmacy, Zhang Twelve rushed to Watson's pharmacy.

On the way, he was still thinking in his heart not to run into Mr. Hua, because if he said to buy these three medicinal materials, both of them would be embarrassed.

He entered Watson's drug store, he was lucky, Mr. Hua was not there.

Just about to call a gangster next to him, who knew that the gangster whispered something to the person next to him, glanced at Zhang Twelve, and then ran out in a hurry, which was very strange.

So Zhang Twelve called another person over and said, "Help me grab the three herbs."

"What does the young master want to catch?"

"Ginseng, deer antler and Tianshan snow lotus!"

"what--"

The gang first let out an "ah", and then said embarrassedly: "Young master, it's really a coincidence that you came, our pharmacy originally had these three herbs, but velvet antler and Tianshan snow lotus were bought a few days ago, and now they are gone. Out of stock, only some ginseng left!"

Zhang Twelve frowned, and only then did he understand why Mr. Hua didn't include these three medicines in the medicine package for him. It turned out that they were sold out!
Knowing the reason, he felt better, but it was a little strange, these two medicines were so expensive, who bought them all so generously?
"Brother, I really need these three medicines to save my life, and I want to ask, who bought all the medicines?"

Those gangsters didn't hide anything, and said directly: "It's the Zhang family! It will be Mrs. Zhang's birthday in a few days, and it seems that even His Highness the Princess will be there. It is said that Mrs. Zhang bought these three precious medicinal materials to give to Her Highness the Princess. of!"

Zhang family?

"Which chapter family?"

Hearing this, the disciples looked at Zhang Twelve in surprise: "There is only one Zhang family in Yunxi City, which one do you think it is?"

Zhang Twelve scratched his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't been here for a long time. I was in the countryside before, so I don't know much about things in the city..."

After hearing that, the disciples' expressions returned to normal.

Zhang Twelve thought of that good-looking woman again, and his mind suddenly widened.

Doesn't Zhang Jinyu often "choose a son-in-law at the expense of the topic"? She must have a preference for poetry. The quality of the poem I composed for her a few days ago can only be said to be average. Very happy?When the time comes, I will ask her for some medicinal materials - not too much, right?
So he asked again: "Brother, if I dare to ask, do you know when Miss Zhang's family will go to Cangchun Garden again?"

Those gangsters gave him a strange look, thinking they were outsiders, how could they be clear about such things?It seems that all men in the world are the same...

But he shook his head honestly, Zhang Twelve was disappointed for a while.

It seems that the medicine can't be bought anymore, so I rushed to Zhang's house to find Zhang Jinyu - the relationship between the two of them hasn't reached such a level yet, it would be even more embarrassing to be shut down at that time!
Thinking about this, Zhang Twelve was about to turn around and leave, when he heard a familiar female voice: "Why are you asking about my lady?"

Looking back, who is the person standing at the door if it wasn't Xiaodan, the maid from that day?

Seeing that standing next to her was the gangster who ran out in a hurry as soon as he entered the store, Zhang Twelve said with a smile: "So it's Miss Xiaodan! We are destined to meet again!"

Xiaodan doesn't like his tricks, thinking what is the fate, if he didn't let his cousin inform her here, the ghost would see you?
She curled her lips and said, "Are you asking when my lady will go to Tibetan Spring Garden again? Why, are you going to sell poems again?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Twelve was a little embarrassed: "Miss Xiaodan was joking, but it's just a clumsy work that Ms. Zhang appreciates, and it's not a business..."

"My clumsy work? You mean to say that my lady is ignorant and treats all your clumsy works as good things?"

Xiaodan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Ah - no, no, it's not a clumsy work, but I'm just being humble! The poem written for Miss Zhang is naturally a masterpiece!"

"Da Zuo? Are you too arrogant? If it is Da Zuo, then why didn't my lady choose you as her husband? Your poems are not good enough!"

"........."

Zhang Twelve didn't plan to say any more, because he found that the little girl's mouth was as if she had taken gunpowder, and she couldn't stop "bababa" once she opened her mouth, so he was willing to bow down!

Seeing Zhang Twelve stopped talking, Xiaodan also felt bored, put away his aggressive posture, and said to him: "Go, come home with me, Miss wants to see you!"

go home with me?

This……

This sentence is a bit ambiguous, making Zhang Twelve feel a little embarrassed...

Seeing Zhang Twelve's twisted appearance, Xiaodan was furious, and stared, "What are you thinking about? You only read the poem you wrote that day, and my lady didn't write it down. Now you go with me to write it down." Write this poem again!"

"Oh……"

So that's the case, Zhang Twelve thought.

But it is very rare to be able to enter Zhang's house, and then I will figure out a way to see if I can get some of the three herbs out!
…………

Zhang's house was not far from Huasheng Medicine Store. Zhang Twelve followed Xiaodan, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived outside Zhang's house.

Just looking at the appearance of the Zhang family mansion, it doesn't look particularly grand, with blue tiles and white walls, only the gate is dyed vermilion, which has an antique flavor.

But as Xiaodan walked into the gate, it was another look.

I saw that the entrance is a zigzag corridor, and the stones under the steps form a long road.

The area of ​​the front yard is not small, with pavilions, terraces, pavilions, pools, pavilions and waterside pavilions, reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockery and strange rocks, flower beds and bonsai, vines and green bamboos are dotted among them, just looking at the scene of the front yard, Zhang Twelve pairs In this chapter, the understanding of the family has deepened.

No wonder even the princess had to attend Mrs. Zhang's birthday. The Zhang family has a deep heritage!
On both sides of the front yard are corridors, which lead to the backyard and various wing rooms. Xiaodan led Zhang Twelve along the corridors and met many servants along the way. Seeing a strange man come back, they all stopped to watch, their faces full of curiosity.

"Are you free to do anything?"

Xiaodan also noticed the reactions of others, and said with a cold face.

These words really worked, those people all ran away after hearing this, it seems that this maid named Xiaodan has a high status in the Zhang family!

Passing through the front yard, walking for a while, and crossing an arch, there is a garden everywhere. It is in June, and the garden is full of flowers, and everywhere is lush and green. In the center of the garden is a small lake with a calm surface.

Looking at the Polygonum flowers and reed leaves on the edge of the lake, and the emerald water chestnuts and water chestnuts in the pond, they all feel shaking. Although Zhang Twelve has been in the south for several months, he did not expect to be in such a small courtyard. It is really wonderful to feel the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The amazing scene in Zhang Twelve's eyes may be too ordinary in Xiaodan's eyes. After entering the hospital, her eyes never fell to the side. She still walked quickly and brought Zhang Twelve to a Outside the pavilion.

"Miss, he is here."

At this time, Zhang Twelve also saw Zhang Jinyu sitting in the middle of the pavilion, leaning over the desk, writing something seriously with a brush.

Hearing Xiaodan's voice, she straightened up, put down the brush, and casually pulled a strand of hair scattered on her forehead behind her ears, her movements were careless, but in Zhang Twelve's eyes, there was a different kind of beauty.

Seeing Zhang Jinyu staring at him, Zhang Twelve cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, I'm sorry for bothering you!"

Zhang Jinyu nodded, no longer the naughty little girl look she had when she was fighting with Xiaodan before, but a bit cold.

"Troublesome son ran again!"

Zhang Jinyu said lightly.

"No trouble, no trouble..."

After Zhang Twelve finished speaking, he added in his heart: If you can give me some of the three herbs, it will be no trouble at all.

As he said that, Zhang Twelve's eyes fell on the piece of paper on the table, and he found that the poem he wrote for Zhang Jinyu that day was impressively written on it, but her writing was a bit incomplete, and some sentences and words were missing. Too complete, presumably Xiaodan said it before, she didn't remember it clearly.

(Twelve, if you can't recover your memory until you die, what should you do?)
