Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 50 Let’s talk about a mutually beneficial business with you

Changsun Tao opened his eyes. His long eyelashes were like stretched butterfly wings. His gaze was as bright as stars and as cold as ice and snow: "Just now, I almost made a move, but for a moment, she looked so much like Yu'er."

This time it was Xie Yun's turn to sigh, and he said: "We will find her, we will."

Changsun Tao fell into silence. Finally, he closed his eyes again and said calmly: "Just keep an eye on her."

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Qinghuan and Chang Sun Tao seemed to have made an appointment, and neither of them disturbed each other. They were busy with their own affairs and lived in peace.

But in the early morning of this day, there was a shimmer in the eastern sky, and Xiao Qian hurried in, shaking Yu Qinghuan from her deep sleep: "Miss, wake up quickly."

Yu Qinghuan always got up very early, but recently it was too troublesome to prepare medicine, so he fell asleep at this hour.After Xiaoqian made such a fuss, Yu Qinghuan quickly woke up and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

Xiao Qian said anxiously: "When I went to the kitchen to fetch hot water, I happened to hear the kitchen steward telling everyone not to prepare the prince's meal. I felt strange. After asking, I found out that there was a problem in the fiefdom. Prince Qi rushed Go and deal with it, we are about to leave now, if you act quickly, miss, you might be able to give the prince a gift."

Yu Qinghuan has been so busy these days that she has no time to pay attention to what is happening inside and outside the house. In addition, she has no one under her, so she naturally has no sources of information, so Chang Sun Tao has to go out on business. , Yu Qinghuan didn’t know it at all.

It's okay if she hasn't heard about it, but now that she has heard about it, as a princess, it would really be unjustifiable if she didn't go to see her off.

Yu Qinghuan stood up quickly, put on her clothes quickly, then simply tied her hair behind her head, and hurried out of the bedroom.

When she arrived, Changsun Tao was about to get on his horse. It was a black horse, strong and tall, without any impurities on its body.

"King Qi." Yu Qinghuan called softly.

Changsun Tao turned around and looked at her, but said nothing.

"Take care." Yu Qinghuan smiled, and the first ray of morning light from the sky shone on her face, casting a warm and soft halo on her little face.

Changsun Tao's brown eyes moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. He turned over and jumped, raised his horse and whipped his horse. With a clattering sound, he and his guards quickly disappeared in the direction of the rising sun.

Yu Qinghuan rolled her eyes in the direction he left, then walked into the palace with her hands folded.

After breakfast, Yu Qinghuan ordered Xiao Qian and Lu Yi to put all the bottles and jars in the pharmacy into boxes. They were the fruits of her hard work in the past few days. She needed to use these things to pave her way to freedom. road.

"Miss, the prices offered by the three companies just now are very good, are you not satisfied?" In the downtown area of ​​Dongcheng, Yu Qinghuan led Lu Yi and Xiao Qian out of a famous drug store. Xiao Qian followed Yu Qinghuan with the box in her arms. Xie Di asked.

Yu Qinghuan chuckled: "I had no intention of selling it to them. Naturally, I won't be tempted no matter how much money they offer."

Xiao Qian wondered: "Miss, if you don't plan to sell, why are you talking to them for so long?"

Lu Yi shook his head helplessly: "You just have to look at me if you don't understand. You have so many problems, and only the princess can tolerate you!"

Xiao Qian glared at her and angrily hugged the box and walked around to the other side of Yu Qinghuan, no longer talking to Lu Yi.

Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh, patted Xiao Qian's head and said: "Lu Yi is right, you have to look at it first if you don't understand, and then think about it in private. If you can't figure it out, just let the insignificant things go. You don't have to do anything." Know the ‘why’.”

She was obviously conniving towards this little girl who was younger than her but had been taking care of her since she was five years old.

Xiao Qian nodded in understanding, and the three masters and servants walked into a drugstore that had a history of a hundred years but was poorly run.A man about 50 years old came over and asked kindly: "I am the shopkeeper of this pharmacy and also a doctor. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Yu Qinghuan looked him up and down, but seeing that he had an upright appearance and a clear voice, which showed that he was an upright person who kept his integrity, Yu Qinghuan said: "If you don't want to see a doctor, I will save your store that is about to close down."

The doctor's attitude was still kind: "Girl, this shop has been passed down for nearly 200 years since Emperor Chengzu founded the country. I don't want to sell it."

Yu Qinghuan suddenly smiled: "I have no intention of buying it, I just want to discuss a mutually beneficial business with you. Although doctors are benevolent, there has never been a rule. If you have good skills, you should be able to help the world, and you should be able to support your family. No way, doctor, in my opinion, this store won't last for a few more years. You don't want this store passed down by your ancestors to fall into your hands, right?"

The doctor's expression darkened, and after a while, he said: "Girl, there is no pie in the sky. If you have something to say, just say it."

"The doctor is a cheerful person, so I won't be a show-off." Yu Qinghuan opened the box in Xiao Qian's hand, took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to the man, saying, "People are greedy. There are many things they want in this life, and women ask for Children are valued for their mothers, men seek to be strong and intoxicated with drawings, and old people hope to stay away from illness and enjoy their old age. There are three kinds of pills in my hand, which can regulate women's bodies and allow them to have children smoothly. It can cure men's unspeakable problems and make them more powerful. It can also help the elderly stay away from problems such as rheumatism and bone disease. This is the second medicine I mentioned. Doctor, why don't you take a look at it?"

The doctor took the medicine, tasted and smelled it, and excitement gradually gathered on his calm face. He asked excitedly: "Girl, where did this medicine come from?"

Yu Qinghuan raised her lips: "You don't need to know where it comes from. The doctor only needs to tell me whether you are interested in this medicine."

The man held the medicine in his hand tightly, but looked a little embarrassed: "Girl, I have tried my best to maintain this pharmacy, but I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it..."

Yu Qinghuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "I said, today I will only talk about business, not do business."

The man became more and more confused: "What does the girl mean by this? I don't understand."

Yu Qinghuan explained: "I just visited three pharmacies. Huichun Hall offered 1 taels, Tongji Hall offered 1 taels, and Renxin Hall offered 5000 taels. They all just wanted to buy the prescription in my hand, but they must have The doctor also knows that the prescription is for a doctor to eat, and I don’t want to hand over my things to those profit-seeking people, so I chose your store.”

The doctor still didn't understand. He frowned and looked at Yu Qinghuan: "Girl, what do you want to do?"

Yu Qinghuan said: "I will store these three medicines in your pharmacy for sale. You can set the price yourself. If you encounter a widower, widow, loneliness, poverty, and illness, you can charge less or no charge. If you encounter someone who is rich and unkind and bullies men, you can charge Ask for whatever price you want, but only one point, the income will be eighty-eighty and two-yuan, there is no room for negotiation. As for how to sell it, I don’t care how it is sold. I will send someone to deliver the goods at the end of every month and deliver the goods to you. You charge me the money I deserve. Of course, the exact amount of goods delivered depends on my mood. Is this business, doctor?"

The doctor pondered for a moment and said: "I am naturally not very happy about the business that the girl and I have discussed. In any case, I have taken advantage of it. But girl, with such good medicine, she could have opened a pharmacy by herself. Why? Choose this method?"

Yu Qinghuan focused on the cautious doctor and said: "Opening a pharmacy requires management and hard work. It just so happens that I am very afraid of trouble."

The doctor asked again: "If something goes wrong with the medicine, who should bear the responsibility?"

Yu Qinghuan said without hesitation: "I am only responsible for cashiering and delivery. As for judging what kind of patient should use which medicine and whether it can be used, it is your business, doctor."

At this time, it started to rain outside, pattering and making a soft sound of dripping.

After a while, rain began to leak from the cracks in the tiles and fell on the ancient floor inside the house. It seemed that this century-old house was also swaying in the wind and rain.

The doctor gritted his teeth and agreed to Yu Qinghuan's conditions. He took out a pen and paper and found the owner of the tailor shop next door as a witness.

At this time, Yu Qinghuan learned that the doctor's surname was Huang.

She declined Doctor Huang's suggestion to stay and take shelter from the rain, and bought three oil-paper umbrellas next door. The three masters and servants strolled in the rain towards Prince Qi's palace.
