Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 312
He moved his nose, and a faint scent of herbs lingered in the shop. Chunqiu folded the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and put it in a corner. Two drug boys were leaning against the counter and yawning.

The noise when Chunqiu entered the door alarmed the medicine boy who was closest to her. After the person found out that it was Chunqiu who came in, he suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, walked quickly to Chunqiu, and asked enthusiastically, "Miss Qiu'er, You came here to find my son?"

Because every time Chunqiu came to look for Zhou Huaiyan, Yaotong had long been familiar with it.

After hearing this, Chunqiu nodded and said, "That's right, where is senior brother?"

When she entered the door before Spring and Autumn, she found out that Zhou Huaiyan was not in the shop, because Zhou Huaiyan was not in the shop, so she asked directly.

Yaotong pointed at the door behind Chunqiu, and explained with some regret, "Miss Qiu'er, it's not a coincidence that you came here. The young master just went out for a trip, and he probably won't be back until an hour later."

"Eh? Will it take so long?" Chunqiu was a little surprised, looked back, and said casually on a rainy day, "Brother, is there anything urgent to deal with?"

After Chunqiu finished asking, she planned in her heart that if the other party's business was troublesome, she would go back first and come back next time.

Yaotong scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Chunqiu's words, then gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "It's not a troublesome thing, it's just that something happened to Mr. Liu's house in the east of the city. An accident happened to the prescriptions of our herbal medicine. Hmph, the prescriptions of our herbal medicine are all deliberated and verified. There are so many people who use them without any problems. How can Pianpian be troubled by their family members? So, the son is for the prescriptions things are over"

Yaotong briefly narrated the matter, and Chunqiu listened to him, and he understood that this would be a medical accident in future generations.

"If that's the case, I'll just wait on the sidelines. I believe that senior brother will be able to solve it safely." Chunqiu smiled. This kind of matter is not a big deal. Chunqiu believes that with Zhou Huaiyan's strength, it is impossible to solve such a small matter. There is no difficulty, at most it will take some time and entangle with others.

Hearing that Chunqiu wanted to stay and wait for someone, Yaotong was quite clever, and just wanted to lure Chunqiu to the study in the backyard, but Chunqiu refused.

"No need, just stay here, go get busy." Chunqiu smiled, pointed to the tables and chairs beside her, her meaning was obvious, just wait in the shop.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yaotong didn't try to persuade her any more. After leading Chunqiu to the table and chairs beside her and finished it, she turned around and made a pot of tea and put it away, leaving her alone.

Chunqiu picked up the teapot at the side, filled the blank teacup in his hand, then held the teacup in his hand, while carefully tasting the mellow tea, he used his eyes to observe the herbal hall in front of him.

Time ticked by, and the rain outside showed no signs of stopping, but fortunately, Chunqiu and the others were not in a hurry, sipping tea leisurely, admiring the rain scene, feeling peaceful for a while.

The two medicine boys on the side were grabbing medicine for the people who came to buy medicine. They packed the packaged herbs with both hands and handed them to the people in front of them.

Because of boredom, Chunqiu used his peripheral vision to secretly look at the people who came to buy medicines. It is undeniable that most of the people who came to buy medicines were not well-dressed, and the medicines they caught for typhoid fever were simple herbs. The price is cheap, relatively, the efficacy is not too high.

Chunqiu shook his head secretly, but it was much better now. After so many years of hard work by Zhou's father and son, at least these people can still come out to buy medicine when they are sick, instead of suffering like before.

After observing several people one after another, Chunqiu stopped looking at them, and shifted his gaze to the white porcelain cup in his hand.

When Zhou Huaiyan came back from the door, the rain hadn't stopped. The young man was wearing a snow-colored robe and holding a plain umbrella, and came striding forward. The young man's figure was as tall and straight as a green pine, as indifferent as water and as warm as jade.

Chunqiu had commented on Zhou Huaiyan and Yang Chunming a long time ago. Both of them are the kind of men who look as indifferent as jade, but the difference is that her second brother's indifference is only superficial, while Zhou Huaiyan's indifference is The kind of true indifference that radiates from the inside out.

Apparently, Zhou Huaiyan was a little surprised by Chunqiu's arrival, although his facial expression only changed for a moment and then recovered, but Chunqiu's eyes were sharp, and she also noticed the momentary absence.

"Sister"

"Brother"

When the two met, they were not as warm as expected, but just said hello.

Handing the medicine box in his hand to the medicine boy beside him, Zhou Huaiyan turned his head and smiled at Chunqiu beside him, "Junior Sister, why don't we go to the study to talk about it?"

"Okay." Right now, the hall is obviously not a place for the two to reminisce and communicate, so Chunqiu did not reject Zhou Huaiyan's suggestion.

"This way please," Zhou Huaiyan finished speaking, and gestured to Chunqiu.

Chunqiu followed Zhou Huaiyan's pace, and the two turned around and walked to the study in the backyard.

Opening the door, Chunqiu followed Zhou Huaiyan and walked in. The furnishings in the study remained the same as before. Chunqiu looked at the familiar things in front of him. Even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly distinguish everything in front of him.

"Junior Sister, how is your life in Pingchuan?" Zhou Huaiyan asked casually.

Chunqiu replied with a smile, "It's not bad, how about senior brother? How have you been in the two months I've been away?"

"Hehe" Zhou Huaiyan smiled, "It's still the same, except for seeing a doctor on weekdays, it's just dispensing medicine, but I'm a bit tired of it"

"Brother, do you still get bored? Junior sister doesn't believe it." Chunqiu didn't believe the other party's words. Knowing that his senior is a person who values ​​medical skills more than anything else, how could he be bored?
"Hehe, why? Brother is not a saint." Zhou Huaiyan smiled and shook his head, but stopped this convenient topic and talked about other things.

Seeing that the other party does not speak, Chunqiu will naturally not ask. Everyone has secrets, not to mention that the two have not seen each other for two months. It is inevitable that they will be a little strange when they meet and talk fiercely. However, this strange situation did not last long. After chatting slowly for a while, they returned to their previous intimacy.

Chunqiu came this time to give back gifts to the other party, and she also knew that there was no reason to take back what the other party sent, so she divided half of the gifts she brought back from Pingchuan to Zhou Huaiyan.

"...Brother, these are the gifts I brought back from Pingchuan, I hope you don't dislike them." Chunqiu said, then handed the small box she had always carried to Zhou Huaiyan, winked at Zhou Huaiyan, and signaled to him Don't hesitate to put it away.
