Chapter 18 Making a name for yourself

 Two days later, it will be the annual Peach Blossom Fair in Shengjing.

 In the Luoyue Bridge, light boats come and go like a shuttle. Both sides of the river embankment are covered with smoke and willows. Walking along the river embankment for about six or seven miles, there is a small lake with a courtyard in the middle. There were three or two small boats parked on all sides of the lake pavilion. It turned out that the elegant scholars who came to watch the Peach Blossom Fair gathered here to have fun.

This place is quiet and quiet, surrounded by lakes. When you look up, you can see the beautiful scenery of the river embankment, and there are trees and peach blossoms in the distance. Literati loved this place the most. Every year they would gather in the middle of the lake to enjoy the scenery, and they would always compile several volumes of poetry anthologies.

 It’s the same this year.

The Confucian scholars and scholars were chatting here, and when the poetry was in full swing, another boat stopped in front of the lake pavilion, and someone got out of the boat. Wearing a futou and a brand-new maroon gown, he looked energetic and energetic.

 It turned out to be Hu Yuanwai.

When everyone in the Hu Pavilion saw Hu Yuanwai, they were startled at first, and then shouted in surprise: "Hu Yuanwai, how can you come to the Peach Blossom Party today?"

Hu Yuanwai's mouth tightened: "Why can't I come?"

"Don't you have a stuffy nose all the time, and it gets so bad every time you see poplars and willow catkins?" Another person asked curiously: "In previous springs, you didn't even go out much, so why did you go out today? There are so many poplars on the road. There are a lot of flowers.”

Some people stared at him in surprise: "I didn't see you covering yourself with a scarf, Old Hu, you..."

Hu Yuanwai walked to the pavilion table and sat down. He raised his arms reservedly. After everyone looked at him, he spoke slowly: "I not only came to the Peach Blossom Club today, but also went to the river embankment for a few laps. Before I got on the boat, , and also bought a bowl of crappy duck to eat under the Luoyue Bridge. As for the kerchief," he suppressed his pride and smiled lightly, "I have relieved my nasal congestion, so naturally I don't need the kerchief."

"Isn't Old Hu Mo trying to trick people?" Before he could finish speaking, one of his seatmates was suspicious, "Suffocation of the nose has always been difficult to solve. Many of our old friends suffer from it and are not allowed to come to the Peach Blossom Club and miss the Wenhui Flower Wine. You How to solve it?"

When Hu Yuanwai heard this, he snorted: "What am I trying to trick you for? It won't do me much good. If you don't believe me, go to the Renxin Medical Center in Xijiexiang and buy two packs of herbal tea for nasal congestion, and then you'll know Have I lied?"

He casually pulled the poetry book in everyone's hands: "In so many years, this is the first time that I have looked at Yanghua seriously. I think today's poetry meeting will be titled Yanghua!"

 …

Lu Zhen never had the opportunity to see the bustling scene of the Yanghua Poetry Club.

Du Changqing, the owner of Renxin Medical Center, used to be a playboy, fighting with chickens and dogs, admiring flowers and willows, but now he has become a good man and has forgotten all the romance of the past. On the day of the Peach Blossom Party, he hid in the shop and read the account books for the whole day.

 Although the account book is not very pretty.

However, even if he was affectionate, Lu Zhen would not be free. In the past few days, Lu Yan has been making herbal tea calmly.

The ingredients for nasal congestion medicinal tea were not expensive, so Du Changqing was very generous and just let Lu Zhu make it. However, Yin Zheng was always worried and asked Lu Yan: "Girl, we have made so many medicinal teas and haven't sold a single jar yet. Should we stop for a while?"

“No need.” Lu Yan said, “There will always be someone who will buy it.”

"But…"

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly said: "Excuse me, does your medical clinic sell herbal tea for nasal congestion?"

Lu Zhuo looked up and saw a group of people standing in front of the medical center, about five or six people, all dressed as scribes in futou and long robes. When this group of people saw Lu Zong's face, they were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that the doctor sitting in the hall turned out to be a young and beautiful girl.

Du Changqing threw away the account book in his hand and came forward warmly: "Do you want to buy herbal tea for nasal congestion? Yes, yes, yes. In the whole of Shengjing, only our Renxin Medical Center has this herbal tea."

The young Confucian scholar headed by the leader did not dare to look up at Lu Xun's face, and said with a blushing face: "It was Hu Yuanwai who told us that there is medicinal tea here to relieve nasal congestion..."

Lu Zhuo raised his hand, took out several jars of medicinal tea from the small tower, placed them in front of several people, and said, "Do you want to buy 'Chun Shuisheng'? It costs four taels of silver per jar." "Chun Shuisheng?" The Confucian scholar was puzzled.

Lu Tong smiled: "'Spring water blooms when poplar flowers disperse'. Nasal suffocation usually occurs when poplar flowers are flying, and it needs to be resolved near summer. This herbal tea is green in color, has a delicate smell, and looks like spring water. When the tea comes out, then Yanghua's troubles will be solved by itself, hence the name 'Spring Water Born'."

Yin Zheng and Du Changqing were stunned, but the group of scribes became happy. Someone said: "Fengya, Fengya! This herbal tea has such an elegant name. Even if it has no effect, I still want to give it a try. Girl," he said with a smile, "I want two cans!"

 “I want two cans too!”

“My grandfather has suffered from nasal congestion for many years and loves poetry. Wouldn’t it make sense not to buy two cans for him? Give me two cans too!”

Renxin Medical Center was busy recently.

The pot of medicinal tea on the yellow wooden table was empty in an instant, and Acheng stood out from the crowd with difficulty: "Young gentlemen, wait for now, and the younger ones will go get it later. Don't crowd, don't crowd -"

 …

The end of Renxin Medical Center was uncharacteristically busy. In the Xinglin Hall not far next door, Bai Shouyi was watering his new pot of clivia with his hands behind his hands.

　　The orchid is fragrant and fragrant, and it is as elegant as a gentleman. Bai Shouyi admired it with satisfaction for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Ji in front of the medicine cabinet: "By the way, Lao Zhou, how is Renxin Medical Center going lately?"

"Not very good." Zhou Ji also laughed: "Du Changqing hired a young girl to be the doctor, how can others believe it? It's just a self-defeating sign. I heard that since the woman came, Renxin Medical Center has been closed. There are no people buying medicine. I’m afraid it won’t be long before the store is really in trouble.”

Hearing this, Bai Shouyi gloated, with a smile on his big white round face, but he also pretended to be coy: "This young master Du was spoiled by his father back then. Even though he has reached the crown, he still has accomplished nothing. He can't lift his hands or carry his shoulders. You said, I didn’t expect that such a good medical clinic would be messed up like this by him, it’s really a crime.”

He pretended to sigh, playing with the orchid leaves with one hand, and said: "It really doesn't work, my neighbor also showed kindness and took over the medical clinic. You can ask him about the shop later, but the current price It’s not as good as the price half a year ago…”

Just as he was talking, the waiter Wen You suddenly shouted from outside the door: "Shopkeeper, Renxin Medical Center...Renxin Medical Center..."

Bai Shouyi raised his eyes: "What's wrong with Renxin Medical Center?"

“There are many people coming in front of Renxin Medical Center!”

"So many people?" Bai Shouyi was startled, thinking in his mind: "Did that woman kill someone and the patient came to cause trouble?"

Young female doctors think they have excellent medical skills, but in fact they don’t know how to pretend to understand. It is common for them to kill people by making mistakes. Du Changqing thought he had found another way, but in fact he was seeking death. No, trouble was coming.

Bai Shouyi was thinking this in his mind. Before he could raise a smile, Wenyou hesitated and said, "No, I heard from those people that they went to Renxin Medical Center to buy medicinal tea."

 A "pop" sound.

 The water for watering the flowers was spilled all over the ground.

Bai Shouyi said loudly: "What did you say?"

Hu Yuanwai: Start bringing goods
