Chapter 23 Rogue

As for the scandal about Nanhe being deprived of his title, they also found out that it was a frame-up in the political struggle.

He himself has used many such tricks.

Before he returned home, apart from feeling depressed about being arranged, he had completely accepted the marriage intellectually.

The moment of surprise when he walked in the door yesterday made the depression in his heart slightly diluted.

Unexpectedly, the problem lies with Fang Yuanzhi.

Didn't she willingly take care of patients here for almost a month just to marry into the Xu family?

He was a little unbelievable.

He thought about the occasional dull and painful bruises on his back. What on earth would a little pepper like this do if he could injure himself?

Is it a hard-to-get trick?

Xu Chun sneered in his heart: A little girl playing thirty-six tricks with me, isn't she overestimating her abilities?

Thinking of this, he said to his mother: "In this case, mother should help me look for a suitable wife and take a good look at her while I am still at home. I will marry you a wife as soon as possible."

Mrs. Gu couldn't believe it, looked Xu Chun up and down, and asked: "Have you figured it out?"

Xu Chun smiled and said: "Before, my son was unfilial and thought his mother was capable and didn't need anyone else. Now I don't think so anymore..."

Mrs. Gu didn't dare to ask him whether he wanted to leave the Xu family.

Thinking about it, they are really married, and they have a wife and children to tie them to. How can they just leave the Xu family just now?

Mrs. Gu's illness immediately improved a lot, and she could get out of bed and walk a few steps. She hurriedly ordered people to invite He Lao'an to come over, and also invited her mother's sister-in-law to come over and talk.

Xu Mansion was a rare place where cars and horses came and went again, making it very lively.

Fang Yuanzhi stared at the maid Cheng Hong who was busy in the yard and sighed.

The first-class maid next to Mrs. Gu, who was as good as a deputy young lady, actually went to her small temple to do menial work. She made beds and folded quilts, washed clothes, even served tea and water, and cleaned the courtyard. They competed to do everything.

If Bai Hu hadn't glared at her fiercely, she would have done all the dishes in the kitchen!

Let her go back. She knelt on the ground and cried with snot and tears: "Please have mercy on me, girl. If I go out of this door, my whole family will be betrayed! Our whole family is still in the Xu family. Please, girl, have mercy on me." Have pity on me..."

Fang Yuanzhi still kicked her out ruthlessly, but a maid named Cheng Hong knelt in front of the medical hall all night. Several groups of ruffians appeared during the night, and her innocence was almost at risk.

If Fang Yuanzhi hadn't been unable to bear it and asked Qingshan to go out and rescue her, she would have been dragged to some private prostitute by now.

The result of the indiscriminate kindness was that Cheng Hong lived in the same house with her. Although Fang Yuanzhi slept on the bed and Cheng Hong used the floor, there was a maid who was not one of them following him every day, which was equivalent to spying on him, and it felt very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable.

After a few days, Fang Yuanzhi finally figured out a way to ask Chenghong to serve in the medical hall during the day and be responsible for taking medicine.

Originally, the medicine preparation was done by Qing Shan, or Dr. Zhong Guangcai who was sitting in the hall. Since the medical hall was almost empty at the moment, and there was nothing to do, Dr. Zhong was simply asked to teach Cheng Hong how to read the prescription and how to take the medicine.

Fang Yuanzhi was drinking tea in the inner room and reading the account books.

The medical hall's loss of several hundred taels of silver every month is not a big deal.

She couldn't sit still and wait for death. She had to quickly open up the situation and make Jimin Medical Hall a resounding brand name in Suzhou. Even if it couldn't turn a profit, it had to at least break even. She couldn't become a vampire and keep throwing money into a bottomless pit.

During her several years in Qiantang, she also figured out a set of promotion methods.

It is nothing more than launching a promotion with free consultation and half-price medicinal materials.

Next, go to military camps, government offices and other institutions to focus on promoting activities and accumulate a certain reputation.

Finally, with the help of hot events to build momentum, Jimin Medical Hall became an instant hit, allowing the people in the city to talk about the gossip and spread the reputation of the medical hall.

Fang Yuanzhi asked Qingshan to have a free consultation. A banner announcing half-price medicinal materials was hung at the door. He also hired helpers to shout around: "Guanqian Street Jimin Medical Hall, free consultation, half-price medicinal materials, welcome to inquire."

Guanqian Street is the busiest street in Suzhou, with people coming and going on the street.

But this only attracted a small number of customers, and also attracted troublesome gangsters who insisted on buying all the medicinal materials in the medical hall at half price.

Fang Yuanzhi sneered: "It's okay to buy them all. Half of the Chinese medicinal materials we have here cost more than 10,000 kilograms. Mr. Hu will talk after he has enough money!"

The gangster who came to cause trouble was a thin man in his thirties, with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and a rat beard. He called himself Hu Sanye. He was wearing an ill-fitting and somewhat wrinkled blue lake silk straight skirt, a dark red soft-legged headdress, and a pair of triangular eyes.

He kept looking around, and was a little stunned when he heard this, but he still said vigorously: "That's easy to say! How many varieties of traditional Chinese medicine do you have?"

"There are 5,767 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine in our store, including 4,773 kinds of botanical drugs, 740 kinds of animal drugs, 82 kinds of mineral drugs, and 50 kinds of processed products."

Seeing the dazed look on the gangster's face, Fang Yuanzhi smiled calmly and said: "Generally speaking, if you don't have one hundred thousand taels of silver, you can't take away these goods from me. Brother, please bring your silver over here to take a look, and we'll pay with one hand."

, single-hand delivery.”

The ruffian has also seen the wind and waves, so naturally he will not be fooled by her few words: "Then I want to see where you store so many medicinal materials in this small medical hall?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to rush into the backyard. Several gangsters who followed him also protected him and smashed the medicine scale in the front hall. They kicked over the sturdy counter and pulled out some drawers containing medicinal materials.

He came out and threw them around, the medicinal materials fell on the floor, and the house was in a mess.

Qingshan has already gone to Xu Mansion to call for Manager Liu.

Manager Liu squeezed in from the crowd watching the excitement outside the medical hall and interjected: "Who said that all medicinal materials have to be stored in the medical hall? The three major warehouses at the east end of the city all store our medicinal materials."

Manager Liu looked at the local ruffian Mr. Hu with cold eyes and walked around him a few times: "Hu Bu Lai, you are the only one who has been living with others for a long time and has settled down. How dare you imitate others and come to your door to cause trouble? Don't go to Suzhou to inquire.

Has anyone been born who dares to show off his power and show off his power in front of me, Liu Endong?!"

The next words were shouted out, and the murderous intent in the voice startled Hu Bu Lai.

Ever since Guanshi Liu appeared, Hu Bu Lai had slumped down. He knelt on the ground and kept bowing and begging for mercy: "I don't know how to see Mount Tai. I don't know that this is your old property! I'm really sorry! I'm also a victim of this.

I’m really sorry for being so blind!”

With runny noses and tears streaming down her cheeks, while talking, she gathered the medicinal materials on the floor with her sleeves and packed them into the drawer thrown aside.

Fang Yuanzhi, who was standing aside, was disgusted.

Manager Liu caught a glimpse of it and continued: "You are the only one who dares to call yourself Third Master because you are so unworthy? Get out of here! Tell the master behind you that if you don't come to apologize in person, this matter will never end!"
