Chapter 212 Universal Ointment
Chu Xu's cat eyes rolled, "I don't know him."
"We know you." Zhongli became more and more sure, staring at Chu Xu's face, "I should have seen you somewhere."
He guessed: "You...are from the capital?"
Chu Xu: "!!!"
Why did you guess so accurately?
"Wu Jiu." Zhong Li reached out and patted Chu Wu Jiu's arm, pointing at Chu Xu, "Do you know this kid?"
Chu Wujiu looked over, stared at Chu Xu's little face for a moment, and said with a firm tone: "Like the Chu family."
After saying that, he looked at Zhongli like an idiot.
Three generations of the Chu family almost share the same face. How can they not recognize each other even though they are so easy to recognize?
After Chu Wujiu said this, Zhongli's face showed a look of surprise, "Ah, you are the little kid from Duke Dingguo's mansion, the one who cried when he lost the fight at the banquet."
Shang Wan and others all looked at Chu Xu.
Chu Xu: "..."
Don't say it. Doesn't he want to lose face?
The child wrinkled his nose and made a face at Zhongli.
Zhongli acted uglier towards him, leaving everyone speechless for a while.
What does this person care about with a child?
She acted so ugly that her good face was completely ruined.
Zhongli didn't care what others thought, as long as he was happy.
He looked at Shang Wan: "Shop Manager Shang, why would the young master from Dingguo's mansion follow you?"
Shang Wan: "It's all fate."
Zhongli: "..."
There was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter opened the door and came in to serve the food.
Food and drinks are available.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Shang Wan finally brought up the business, "I invited Boss Zhong to come over today because we have something to discuss."
Zhongli showed no interest, twirling his wine glass and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shang Wan took out a small red box from his sleeve and handed it over.
Zhongli took it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"
"Ointment." Shang Wan said, "Master Qiao likes it very much."
Hearing this, Zhongli became somewhat interested.
He opened the box and smelled it closely, saying in a disgusted tone, "Why does it smell like mint?"
"Is this the medicine that cured Qiao Yugui?"
Shang Wan nodded, "Master Qiao wants to cooperate with me and sell the ointment in a medical clinic under his name."
Zhongli closed the box and looked up at Shang Wan, "What are his conditions for opening it?"
Shang Wan did not elaborate, only said: "Boss Zhong, are you interested in cooperating with me?"
"I don't have a medical clinic under my name." Zhongli snorted coldly, tapping the surface of the medicine box with his white fingertips, "Aren't you worried that I will find someone to prepare your prescription?"
Shang Wan smiled and said nothing.
She dared to take it out openly, so she was naturally not worried.
Zhongli also understood this. He opened the medicine box and smelled it again, still looking disgusted.
"What are the effects of your ointment?"
Shang Wan: "I gave this ointment a name, Universal Ointment."
"Wanyong." The corners of Zhongli's lips raised slightly, "Shopkeeper Shang has such a strong tone."
Shang Wan shrugged, "I also want to be humble, but my strength doesn't allow it. If Boss Zhong doesn't believe it, you can find someone to try."
Zhongli put the medicine box away without saying whether to try it or not.
But he didn't refuse Shang Wan, so he accepted it.
Except for the initial episode, the meal was quite satisfying.
On the carriage back, Chu Wujiu reached out to Zhongli and asked for the box of ointment.
Zhongli folded his arms and refused.
Chu Wu Jiu glared at him.
"What else will you do besides staring at me?" Zhongli curled his lips, reached out and took out the medicine box and threw it over. Chu Wujiu took out a needle bag from his sleeve, opened it, took out a silver needle, picked out some ointment, brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully.
"how?"
"It's just an ordinary wound medicine, nothing special." Chu Wujiu frowned and put away the silver needle, raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, "You must have been tricked."
Zhongli: "..."
He thought for a moment and shook his head, "She won't play tricks on me in this matter."
Chu Wu Jiu threw the medicine box back to him, "I don't see anything special about this ointment."
Zhongli said smoothly: "That's because you are not good at studying."
Chu Wu Jiu wanted to take out a silver needle and stab this guy to death.
Before he put his idea into action, Zhongli asked, "When do you plan to return to Beijing?"
"Wait until I get the Snow Walking Picture." Chu Wujiu looked at the person opposite him, "What about you? When will you return to Beijing?"
Zhongli didn't answer, just smiled, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved and full of emotion.
Chu Wu Jiu turned his face away in disgust and waved his hand as if he was chasing away someone dirty.
Zhongli: "..."
I really want to strangle this guy to death!

On the other side, Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing returned to the shop with their two children.
Wu Kai and the other three had just eaten at the restaurant.
The weather was hot, and going back and forth at noon was time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Shang Wan simply let the three of them rest in the waiter's room in the backyard.
After telling the two children to play in the house, Shang Wan took Lu Chengjing to visit the landlady next door.
Only then did Lu Chengjing realize that he was almost dead, and stared at Shang Wan expressionlessly.
Shang Wan blinked at him, facts speak louder than words.
The landlady had some impressions of Lu Chengjing. Lu Chengjing asked her about the situation of the shop.
It turns out that these two people are husband and wife, and they look like a perfect match.
Shang Wan gave the proprietress a box of all-purpose ointment.
Unlike Zhongli, the landlady found the smell of mint to be very pleasant, especially on a hot summer day, it was very refreshing.
Shang Wan smiled and said: "If I use it well, you can help me tell the neighbors."
The landlady agreed wholeheartedly.
She was scalded by hot oil while cooking yesterday, and now there are red marks on the back of her hands. It's time to give it a try.
Coming out of the restaurant, Shang Wan let the bright sunlight dazzle his eyes.
Lu Chengjing subconsciously stretched out his hand to block her.
The landlady who escorted the two of them out was so excited that she thought that this scholar was quite considerate.
By the time Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing entered the room, Chu Xu and Yuanyuan were already lying on the bed and asleep.
I don’t know what the two children were playing before going to bed. Their round little heads were resting on Chu Xu’s belly, but their feet were stepping on Chu Xu’s face.
Lu Chengjing shook his head and walked over to adjust the sleeping position of the two children.
Shang Wan went over and pinched his face one by one. The doughy face felt so comfortable and felt wonderful.
"What did Ah Nian say to you when we were eating just now?" Lu Chengjing found the opportunity to ask now.
"He told me that Zhongli is an outsider."
Lu Chengjing narrowed his eyes, his status as a foreign minister was not honorable.
Shang Wan reached out and pinched his earlobe, "Guess who his father is?"
Lu Chengjing didn't want to guess. With so many big names in the capital, when would he have to guess?
He grabbed Shang Wan's hand, brought it to his lips, kissed it, and said warmly: "Please give me some advice, ma'am."
Shang Wan raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Lu Chengjing lowered his head and kissed the back of his fair hand.
"Here." Shang Wan nodded his lips.
Lu Chengjing turned his head and glanced at the child on the bed. Seeing that the two of them were still sleeping soundly, he quickly moved over to Shang Wan like a thief, pressed his lips against Shang Wan's, and then quickly stepped back.
Before Shang Wan could do anything, the roots of his ears turned red first, he turned away embarrassedly, and pursed his thin red lips again and again.
Shang Wan looked at his red ears and felt that he had made some progress, at least his neck was not red.
"Zhongli's father was the Marquis of Anle. Although he had many wives and concubines, he only had one son, Zhongli."
I don’t know why the Marquis’ son came to this poor and remote place in Dongning County.
