Chapter 210 Testing the Medicine
There was no movement behind the gauze curtain for a long time. After a long time, a tired voice came out, "What am I going to punish you for? Did Shopkeeper Shang ask you to come back with a message?"
Manager Zhong lowered his head and said, "Shang Zhang asked his subordinates to convey her gratitude to you."
"Thank you?" the young man said coldly, poured another glass of wine, and slowly brought it to his lips.
Manager Zhong said: "Shang Zhang will host a banquet at Qionghua Restaurant the day after tomorrow. Please be sure to enjoy it."
Qionghua Restaurant is the restaurant opened by Qiao Yugui.
The room suddenly became quiet, green smoke slowly rose from the copper-headed incense burner, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers filled the room.
Manager Zhong stood up silently, but his head was still hanging in a respectful manner.
The tired voice came from behind the gauze curtain again, "Is there any news from the capital?"
"No."
"No, there is." The young man repeated word by word, tapping his knuckles on the table, muttering to himself, "How could it not be?"
After a while, Manager Zhong heard the person behind the gauze curtain say, "No, no, no. If there is any news, I will report it as soon as possible."
Manager Zhong responded hurriedly: "Yes."
"Tell the shopkeeper that I will go."
"yes."
The room was silent for another moment, and the young man's voice sounded again, "What is Chu Wu Jiu doing recently?"
"Master Chu is looking for someone to paint a picture of walking in the snow."
The young man became interested, changed his posture on the soft couch, and asked, "Can you find someone?"
"Found it. The man is a scholar, his surname is Lu." Manager Zhong raised his head and glanced at the vague figure behind the gauze curtain, "He is the husband-in-law of Shopkeeper Shang."
"Ha." The young man was a little surprised, "What a coincidence."
He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is this Lu Xiucai the third young master Lu who was drawn out of the Lu family's family tree and was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen?"
"Exactly."
"Tsk, tsk, I picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon." The young man shook his head disdainfully, "Lu Mingsheng's brain was really kicked by a donkey."
Manager Zhong keeps an eye on things and makes no comment on the matter.
The young man said, "Go and tell Chu Wujiu that I will invite him to dinner at Qionghua Restaurant the day after tomorrow."
Manager Zhong knew that his boss wanted to have fun, so he didn't ask any more questions and said, "Yes."

It was getting late, Shang Wan paid Wu Kai his wages for the day and handed him a box of ointment.
"This ointment can fade scars, take it back and try it."
Wu Kai's eyes moved slightly and he glanced at the box but did not reach out to take it.
He bought countless ointments that claimed to be able to remove scars, but they were of no use at all.
The doctor said it was an old scar that could not be faded by ointment, and asked him not to waste any more money.
"I won't charge you any money." Shang Wan directly put the ointment box into his hand, "You just need to work hard for me, and after the scars fade, help me promote it to the neighbors."
Is there such a good thing?
Wu Kai's eyes widened slightly, "Shopkeeper Shang, are you serious about what you said?"
"Natural." Shang Wan told him how to use the ointment. "After washing your face, apply it on the scar. Don't apply too much. Just apply a thin layer. You will see the effect in less than three days."
Wu Kai didn't believe that it would be effective in three days, but seeing Shang Wan's confident look, he felt a little more hopeful.
What if?
What if this ointment really works on the scars on his face?
If there were no scars on his face, or if the scars were lighter and looked less scary, there would definitely be a girl willing to marry him.
He wanted to live with his wife and children on the hot bed!
"Thank you." Wu Kai held the ointment box and thanked him. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, at least he was kind-hearted.
"You're welcome. I'd like to thank you if you help me promote it well." Shang Wan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to have breakfast at home tomorrow. You can go directly to the restaurant next door to eat. I asked the landlady to prepare it for you. ”
Hearing this, not only Wu Kai, but also his two nephews couldn't help but sigh that Shopkeeper Shang is really a good person. After watching Wu Kai and the others leave, Xiaohuan turned to Shang Wan and said, "Sister, let's go back too. Brother-in-law and the others must be impatient."
Shang Wan nodded, bent down and patted Xiao Hei on the head, "Guard the shop well. If a thief breaks in, he'll bite him. If he bites any damage, it's mine."
Xiao Heitong gave a humane "woof" and wagged his tail at Shang Wan.
Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand and waved at it, "See you tomorrow, dog."
"Woof!"
·
“Back!” Shitou stood on the hillside and saw the bullock cart. He waved excitedly and ran over to greet him with Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui put the round ball on his back with his head and ran home with the little milk baby on his back.
Yuanyuanzai blinked his big eyes blankly, his face blurred by the night wind blowing in his face, and the little knots on his head were all messed up.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard was a man in blue, tall and tall, with a smile on his face.
Her round eyes lit up and she shouted: "Daddy!"
"Hey." Lu Chengjing agreed, bending down to take the baby off the gray wolf's back, "Do you miss daddy?"
"I think!" the little baby replied loudly and nodded his head vigorously.
The bullock cart stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and Shang Wan and others jumped out of the cart.
Shitou reached out and took Yuanyuan from Lu Chengjing's arms, and carried her inside, chattering to Yuanyuan as he walked, "Uncle went into the mountains today to pick some red fruits, and kept them for you and Anian. They are very sweet, you must be sure." like."
Yuanyuan obediently hugged Uncle Shitou's neck and asked her little brother to follow her to see the sweet fruits together.
Xiaohuan was thinking about cooking and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you and Shitou ever had dinner?"
Lu Chengjing: "Shitou has cooked two dishes and we will eat them together when you come back."
"Then I'll make some soup." Xiaohuan left these words and hurried to the kitchen.
Suddenly, only Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing were left outside the hospital. Shang Wan smiled at Lu Chengjing, "What are you looking at me for? Don't you know me?"
Lu Chengjing shook his head and walked over to help hold the bullock cart.
"You didn't come back last night. I wanted to find you, but the city gate was closed at that time."
"Worried about me?"
Lu Chengjing nodded and asked, "What happened last night?"
Shang Wan briefly explained the matter, especially mentioning the apology that Zhongli sent to his door, and finally said: "I feel like he is a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken - he has no good intentions."
"Maybe." Lu Chengjing pursed his lips and frowned.
Seeing his serious expression, Shang Wan couldn't help but stop joking and asked seriously: "What did you think of?"
Lu Chengjing raised his eyes to look at her, his lips parted, but he stopped talking.
Shang Wan was so anxious that he raised his hand to pinch his cheek and urged, "Hurry up and say it."
Lu Chengjing bent down slightly, allowing Shang Wan to pinch it more easily.
He stared down at Shang Wan's dress and asked softly: "Does Boss Zhong know that this lady is married?"
Shang Wan: "???"
Shang Wan: "..."
She took back her hand and rolled her eyes at the person in front of her, "What are you thinking about?"
She already has a baby, how could Zhongli not know that she is married?
Besides, that guy is a little crazy, and what he does cannot be judged by ordinary people at all.
She raised her hand to poke Lu Chengjing's heart, "Be confident, you are better-looking than Boss Zhong."
Lu Chengjing: "..."
So do you still have to rely on face?
