Chapter 539: Someone is applying medicine in Yanzuofang
I saw Pei Xingyuan calmly crossing his arms and looking at the people in front of him, watching them complaining, his eyes still smiling Dewanwan, but said nothing.
Shang Ruyi clenched his fists subconsciously and watched this scene nervously.
The patients in Changle Square were aroused by the middle-aged man. They not only complained that the decoction was expensive, but also seemed to want to make them sick these days, unable to seek treatment, and unable to live or die. Yi vented her anger and kept complaining and cursing. For a while, she was foaming at the mouth, and the situation was so chaotic that a pot of porridge boiled over.
However, no matter how intense the emotions are, there will always be time to calm down.
What's more, no matter how much they cursed, the person standing opposite never said a word. It felt like a fist hitting cotton - no, the fist was empty. It was not only useless, but also more laborious.
Gradually, everyone became quiet.
These people looked at me and I looked at you. Not only did the scene become quiet for a while, but it also seemed a bit awkward.
It was only then that Pei Xingyuan smiled faintly: "Everyone, are you done?"
Everyone's mouths were dry from scolding, and at this time, they were all out of breath and speechless. , could only look at him, Pei Xingyuan reached out and dusted his clothes , and then said slowly and leisurely: "You think this medicine is expensive. It is true that it is expensive, but you should know that it is expensive for a reason. After all-if I hadn't brought these medicines, you wouldn't have paid a penny for a bowl of medicine." , I’m afraid you can’t buy it for even one tael of silver.”
"..."
"By that time, the money will be left, will the person still be alive?"
"..."
"Besides, ordinary sales Can the medicine be compared with these medicines like mine? I am from Luoyang. It’s brought back from nearby. You don’t know how messy it is there. You have to climb mountains and cross rivers to transport it all the way to Daxing. The tofu has to be sold for the price of meat, let alone life-saving medicine!”
"..."
"So, if you want to blame, you shouldn't blame me, the person who sold you the life-saving medicine."
"..."
"If you want to blame, you have to blame the person who knew there would be a plague. , but he deliberately ransacked all the medicinal materials in the city early and wanted to put you to death!"
After he said this, the faces of the patients around him changed.
Indeed, although Pei Xingyuan's medicine is expensive, it is not so expensive that it will bankrupt the family. One penny for a bowl of medicine, two bowls a day, even if you take it for ten days and a half, it will only cost you two or three taels of silver. , it is not impossible for ordinary people to come up with it, even poor people can grit their teeth and scrape together the money for life-saving medicine. What was really hateful was the person who had plundered all the medicinal materials in the city in advance, leaving them with no way to ask for help.
Thinking of this, the patients could not help but grit their teeth and curse secretly.
When seeing the emotions of the people around him being stirred up again, but in the completely opposite direction, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
No wonder, Shen Wuzheng must let Pei Xingyuan do this.
Without the ability to be "shameless", there is really no way to calm everyone down at this time, and what he said was so reasonable.
You know, selling medicine at this time, and selling it so expensively, is taking advantage of the situation, or even "cutting leeks", but Pei Xingyuan's eloquent words actually made everyone speechless. ; Moreover, no one here noticed that he confused the search for medicinal materials with the matter of "knowingly" that there would be a plague!
In this way, everyone's anger is not only due to the serious illness and lack of medicine, but also the anger of being harmed!
Seeing everyone like this, Pei Xingyuan knew that his words had an effect, so he took another step forward and said slowly to these patients with different emotions: "In short, one coin of silver and a bowl of medicine , the medicine cures the disease Except, I won’t accept more, and I won’t sell less.”
“…”
“You want to survive, and I want money, and no one will be in the way.”
“……”
"Now, if you want to survive, come up and buy medicine."
His last words seemed to have made the final decision on today's chaos.
For a while, the whole scene became quiet again.
But the silence this time was no longer the helpless and stalemate silence after the angry scolding. Instead, everyone looked at each other in silence, silently returned to their previous positions, and started lining up again.
After all, everyone wants to live.
Seeing this, Pei Xingyuan immediately winked at the person behind the long table. The person who was protecting the pot of medicine and about to step away immediately stepped forward and continued to pour the medicine into the empty bowl on the table. The accountant also He sat back, picked up his pen and account book, and asked again: "Whose surname is the city where you live?"
The visitor said: "Datongfang, Chen Anye."
Standing Shang Ruyi on the side breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was only then that she felt the coldness and dampness in her palms. She had clenched her fists unconsciously just now, and her palms were covered with cold sweat.
Just now, she almost thought something was really going to happen in Changlefang today.
Fortunately, Pei Xingyuan stabilized the situation.
Speaking of which, although she likes Pei Xingyuan very much and thinks he is sincere and cheerful and optimistic, she only likes him as a friend; but today, she really likes this person who seems to be carefree and just a person. The dandy Mr. Pei looked at him with admiration.
Although this man is "shameless", he is calm in the face of danger and calm in every situation. He does have his abilities!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi chuckled.
But at this moment, a sigh sounded from behind her, which seemed to match her laughter.
When she turned around, she saw Su Qinglan, who had been standing quietly behind her. At this time, she was looking at Pei Xingyuan from a distance, with a strange expression on her face.
Shang Ruyi looked at her, then at Pei Xingyuan, and said subconsciously: "Master Su, do you know him?"
Su Qinglan was still looking at Pei Xingyuan from a distance, her eyes seemed a little hazy. , said softly: "I met him when I was a child."
"Oh? Then you guys -" "I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for so many years, he has -, I thought he was still the same as when he was a child..."
"Huh?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned.
She vaguely felt something, but she couldn't distinguish it. Su Qinglan had already chuckled, and the light shining in her gentle eyes dimmed at this moment.
She seemed to put down something, turned her head without saying a word, and walked back.
Shang Ruyi subconsciously said: "Master Su?"
Su Qinglan stopped, only looked back at her, and then said: "Young madam, there are still patients over there who need my care, and they can't afford the money."
After saying that, she remained silent. 's gone.
Looking at her thin back as she walked away, Shang Ruyi felt a little startled for a moment.
At this moment, a hand gently patted her shoulder. Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned around and met a pair of smiling, crescent-like eyes. It was the same person who had just talked to those patients. Confrontation, but now it’s a stalemate Pei Xingyuan, who looked like a fool, only saw him smiling and saying: "What are you looking at? Do you remember what I looked like just now? You must go back and tell your brother that I am - eh?"
He looked at it accidentally The figure in front was stunned.
Shang Ruyi also immediately said: "Mr. Pei, do you recognize her?"
Pei Xingyuan frowned and thought for a while, and said: "She seems to be Su, Su-"
"Su Qinglan!"
"Yes! Su Qinglan, she Mom is the medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office, a female medical officer, that’s amazing!”
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: “I am now the medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office, and she is still taking care of the patients here. What about the most seriously ill patients?”
Pei Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "No, she would only cry with runny nose when she was bullied when she was a child. I thought that when she grew up, she would only get married, and she would be criticized after getting married. I didn't expect that she would have such a future. "
"..."
Shang Ruyi felt angry and funny for a moment.
It’s no wonder that Lei Yu always had a bad attitude towards him in the past, and would make a move before he could even say a few words. Pei Xingyuan’s words sometimes were really irritating.
But——
She thought for a while and said, "Since you two know each other, would you like to go over and talk to her?"
For some reason, Shang Ruyi couldn't let go when he thought of Su Qinglan's appearance just now. It seemed like they should be allowed to meet each other, but Pei Xingyuan didn't care. He waved his hands and said, "I won't go there. I'm not familiar with it. Besides, there are a lot of things going on here. If someone makes trouble again, no one can suppress them."
"...Oh, too. Yes."
Shang Ruyi nodded, but felt a little empty in his heart.
I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to feel that something just started silently, but then ended silently. However, the people in it - whether it was Su who left silently, Neither Qinglan nor Pei Xingyuan, who was so proud at this moment, seemed to notice.
At this time, Pei Xingyuan raised his head and looked around again, and said, "By the way, where was that person just now?"
He obviously felt that something was wrong with the middle-aged man, and deliberately aroused everyone's emotions. But then suddenly disappeared. If he was really just an ordinary patient, even after the quarrel, he would still have to stay in the shop and line up to buy medicine like the people in front of him.
Shang Ruyi said immediately: "I let-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wuxue coming back with a tense expression, saluting Shang Ruyi and Pei Xingyuan: "Young Madam, Mr. Pei."
Shang Ruyi did not expect her to come back so soon, and immediately asked: "Where is the person?"
Wuxue said: "Young madam, forgive me, I lost you."
"What?!"
Shang Ruyi frowned: "You have lost me?"
You must know that Wuxue is not an ordinary maid, but came from Chu Yang's hand. Her skills are extraordinary, and ordinary people should not be able to get rid of her.
That middle-aged man has an unusual past.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Then, is he still in Changlefang?"
Wuxue's expression became more solemn, and he lowered his voice and said: "No, I followed that man out of Changlefang. I have been following Yanzuofang.”
< br>"..."
"Originally, I wanted to follow him to see who he was, but - something happened in Yanzuofang, and I lost my way without paying attention."
Something happened in Yanzuofang?
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi and Pei Xingyuan did not care about the whereabouts of that person and immediately asked: "What happened?"
Wuxue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Someone , applying medicine in Yanzuofang"
