days of being forced

Chapter 38

"Cousin, I have found a suitable shop, would you like to go and have a look with me?" Following the crisp voice, Jiang Ning directly pushed away the room specially used for refining medicine at home.

He was not afraid of affecting Gu Xingzhi, Gu Xingzhi's cultivation time was relatively fixed, and the rest, if they were in this room, they must be refining medicine.

These, Jiang Ning remembers by heart.

Inside the house, Gu Xingzhi didn't even lift his eyelids.

His movements were smooth and flowing, he took the plate at hand, put the impurities picked out from the medicine cauldron with his divine sense into the bowl, and then continued to have complicated handprints on his hands, the medicine liquid in the medicine cauldron exuded a delicate fragrance, Smell it, it will make people feel shocked.

Jiang Ning didn't have to ask Gu Xingzhi to answer, he moved a small cushion and placed it next to Gu Xingzhi when he entered the door, and then sat down.He stared at the inside of the medicine cauldron, watching the mist lingering over the cauldron, but it didn't dissipate at all.

The closer you get, the more you can smell it.

This time the smell was very different, Jiang Ning felt that taking a breath made his whole body feel much more relaxed.He couldn't help stretching out his little head, moved close to the medicine cauldron, and sniffed lightly with his nose: "What kind of medicine is this? I feel like I have taken some panacea, and my whole body feels different."

"It's like...it seems, it's very healthy anyway!"

Jiang Ning made the final decision.

Gu Xingzhi glanced at him, then stretched out his big hand, and pushed his head back: "Don't make trouble, it will be healed soon."

"Stingy." Jiang Ning muttered softly.

Gu Xingzhi was helpless, ever since he indulged Jiang Ning to follow him to watch him refine medicine last time, this momentum has retreated step by step, step by step.Since Gu Xingzhi spent most of his time in the pharmacy, Jiang Ning proudly and proudly announced his decision to be with him.

And this decision cannot be refuted.

Although it's only been half a month, Gu Xingzhi has gotten used to his sudden intrusion and his occasional mischief.Fortunately, Jiang Ning is very measured, and he would not come in so carelessly during the few time periods of his cultivation.

According to the usual practice, the condensed medicine qi was used to nourish the medicine cauldron. Gu Xingzhi put the refined medicine into a bottle and handed it to Jiang Ning: "This is for you. Your physical condition is too poor. Just make it up, you can just take one tablet a day, and it should be almost enough after you finish eating."

Jiang Ning was ignorant, and said: "I am in good health. The imperial doctor who has been treating me since I was a child didn't say anything wrong with my body. I seldom get sick."

"I'm referring to your conditions in martial arts training, which are very poor."

Jiang Ning didn't care about him, he just grasped the point and said excitedly: "Are you going to teach me martial arts? Did you learn this by yourself?"

"No, you can't learn what I learned." Jiang Ning doesn't have spiritual roots, not even miscellaneous spiritual roots.

Seeing him become listless in an instant, Gu Xingzhi said again: "However, what I teach you is also very powerful martial arts, as long as you take a pill on time every day, and practice hard in the future, you can also become a first-class master in the martial arts. "

Jiang Ning said: "Okay then. By the way, I found the shop, let's go and have a look together."

Naturally, Gu Xingzhi is indispensable. The location of the shop Jiang Ning chose is very good, it is close to the cloth village, and the best restaurant in the city is not far from here, and you can see it at a glance from the door.

I heard that this restaurant was opened by King Nan'an, and it has branches all over the place.

Of course, the price of such a good place is not cheap. The reason why Jiang Ning came to Gu Xingzhi instead of buying it directly was because he didn't have enough money.

"What do you think of this place?" Jiang Ning gestured to the side, "I plan to rearrange this place at that time, and then put a few shelves here, here, and put two pots of flowers and plants here, and it doesn't take too much. But If there are too many people, we may not be able to keep busy, and if someone takes the opportunity to steal two bottles secretly, we will not know, so this shelf still has to be blocked by glass, and our people can take it out for anyone who wants to buy it."

Jiang Ning thought of the problem while talking.

Gu Xingzhi said: "It's pretty good." Jiang Ning's thoughts are delicate and spiritual, at least it must be much better-looking than he thought, and Gu Xingzhi is very aware of this.

After a lot of introductions, Jiang Ning looked up at Gu Xingzhi with sparkling eyes and said nothing.

Gu Xingzhi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and gently tugged on Gu Xingzhi's sleeve, with a sweet voice: "Cousin, the boss said he would give us a week at most, and he has to pack up and go back to his hometown. But this house costs 600 taels. Not enough, look~"

To say that he has complete confidence in the things that Gu Xingzhi sells, even if he opened the shop in a small, secluded and remote corner, it would still be full of people.

But as a powerless beauty, who is still becoming more and more beautiful, Jiang Ning has always had a sense of crisis. Gu Xingzhi is not always by his side, after all, it is much safer in the busy city.

Moreover, it is a street of eating, drinking and having fun, of course he likes it more.

"How about, let's catch that Qin Yuan again?" Jiang Ning carefully advised Gu Xingzhi, and Qin Yuan ran in front of them a few times after that, so it should be easy to catch.

Gu Xingzhi: ...

It was true that the family did not have enough money. At the beginning, he got a total of 700 taels. After returning home, he gave Zhao Xiulan 100 taels.At that time, there was a shortage of everything in the small courtyard, and it cost almost 100 taels to buy all kinds of things.After he was promoted, he had more time and was addicted to refining medicine all day long. He spent more than 200 taels just to buy medicinal materials.

Calculated in this way, there are probably only a few dozen taels of silver left in the family.

He handed over all the money to Jiang Ning. Although Jiang Ning did not hide the silver box and the place where the key was hidden, Gu Xingzhi did not pay attention to these.

He was silent for a moment, and asked, "How much money do you have at home?"

Jiang Ning said: "Except for buying vegetables, it is about 100 taels." The food at home is not bad anyway, and it seems that the hunted game is also bought.

Gu Xingzhi said: "Fine, I will get the money back anyway."

Jiang Ning rushed forward and hugged Gu Xingzhi, "Cousin, you are so kind."

After the joy, he said again: "But the time is so tight, will it be too embarrassing for you? If there is really no other way, I don't have to buy this store, just choose another one when the time comes."

"No need." Gu Xingzhi put his hands on Jiang Ning's waist, seeing his happy face, he unconsciously smiled a little: "It's very easy to earn money."

Didn't it mean that the father and son of King Nan'an are good businessmen and have a lot of money? Gu Xingzhi felt that he could go to the rich.

Speaking of which, Gu Xingzhi had thought about meeting the King of Nan'an before. He chopped off Feng Laizi's hand. If he really wanted to report to the officials, he might be in trouble. The county government is not in one place.

But the entire area here is the fiefdom of King Nan'an, and he is equivalent to the Emperor of Earth here.

The best way is of course to establish a relationship with King Nan'an and erase this matter directly.

Before that, Qin Yuan and his group took away more than half of the birthday gifts prepared by King Nan'an for the Queen Mother, and they haven't recovered them until now.These rebels from the former dynasty occupied Heifeng Mountain, [-] miles south of Jiaoyang City. This mountain was steep and complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most of these congratulatory gifts could not be retrieved.

According to Tan Yongyi, the King of Nan'an is rushing to recollect the congratulatory gifts for the Empress Dowager, and it may be difficult to find any rare things in a short time.

And with King Nan'an's reputation as the number one businessman in the world, if he really couldn't come up with something suitable, no matter how many reasons he had, it would be unreasonable.

And what Gu Xingzhi wanted to offer was the wound medicine he used to stop the bleeding when Feng Laizi lost his hand that day.In the martial arts world, there are some healing holy medicines that can stop the bleeding immediately, but if the wound is too big, the effect will be smaller after all, and more importantly, the medicinal materials used in those healing holy medicines are mostly expensive medicinal materials, and the production cost is very high. high.

The ones that Gu Xingzhi made were made of common medicinal materials.

Of course, the status of King Nan'an is not something that anyone can meet. The only person Gu Xingzhi knows who can talk to him is Tan Yongyi.Early the next morning, after going around the city gate twice to inspect the work, Gu Xingzhi went to the yamen to find Tan Yongyi. Fortunately, Tan Yongyi often stayed here, so Gu Xingzhi didn't run away.

"You want to see King Nan'an?" Tan Yongyi was a little surprised.

"Yes." Gu Xingzhi told Tan Yongyi about Feng Laizi.

Tan Yongyi said: "That person had bad intentions about this matter, no wonder you, don't worry, I can help you solve this, I will send someone to speak to the people in the county government over there later. As the prince The people around him still have this right." Anyway, he also went to the wedding between Gu Xingzhi and Jiang Ning, and he knew Gu Xingzhi's behavior, so what he said must be the truth.

Gu Xingzhi smiled: "Then thank you very much."

Tan Yongyi also showed a hearty smile: "It's okay, it's all trivial."

Gu Xingzhi said: "Then it's fine if you don't see the lord, you can help me introduce the prince." The prince also has money, as long as he can afford it, he will be the same to anyone he sees, and the younger ones might be able to give a little more.

"?" Tan Yongyi was puzzled: "It's easy to meet the prince, but why do you want to meet him?" There is a reason for him to make an appointment.

Gu Xingzhi said directly: "Actually, I've been short of money recently. My master gave me some things before. I heard that the son is generous, so I wondered if I could sell them." Gu Xingzhi took out a small medicine bottle from his arms Put it in Tan Yongyi's hand: "This is it. The effect of the medicine is better than that of Yuling Powder, and the medicinal materials used are all common."

Tan Yongyi's face turned serious when he heard the words. Yuling powder is a well-known panacea for trauma in the world. If it can be more effective than Yuling powder and cost less, it will be really valuable.

If the soldiers at the border had this medicine, it would definitely reduce a lot of deaths.

And if the prince has this medicine, there is no need to worry about the queen mother's birthday gift, the emperor will definitely be very happy when he sees it.

But the premise of these is that this medicine is really that good.

Tan Yongyi looked left and right, but couldn't find any other verification methods for a while, so he simply lifted his sword and touched it in the palm of his hand, blood spread out instantly.He bit the cork of the bottle and poured the powder in the medicine bottle on the wound. Suddenly, burning pain came. Caught off guard, Tan Yongyi couldn't hold back and cried out in pain: "Ah!"

The palm of the hand seemed to be continuously roasted by a raging fire.

The pain came and went quickly, and soon Tan Yongyi didn't feel the pain anymore. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the palm of his hand with lingering fear.

I saw that the wound was no longer bleeding, and a thin layer of scab had formed. It really healed.

He looked at Gu Xingzhi and said weakly: "The effect is indeed remarkable, but the pain is also really painful!"

Gu Xingzhi said: "It's because I forgot to remind Brother Tan for a while, this wound medicine is indeed a bit more powerful."

"It's okay." Tan Yongyi waved his hand, "As long as the effect is good, this pain is nothing compared to life."

"I will arrange the matter of introducing the prince as soon as possible. Since Brother Gu is short of money, I will try my best to help and talk about it. Although the medicine is very effective, the prince will also pay attention to it, but if it is really for money, it is better to see the prince. To be more effective."

"Okay." Gu Xingzhi replied: "Then please trouble Brother Tan, these are some things that Ning Ning prepared for sister-in-law, and the instructions for use are all inside. Brother Tan, take them back to sister-in-law." When they got married, Tan Yongyi His wife also came to help.

Tan Yongyi thought it was because Gu Xingzhi was sorry for not giving him a gift, and was about to reject it, feeling that the weight was not right. When he opened it, he found that it was full of bottles and jars. He asked, "What is this?"

"Ning Ning plans to open a shop. These are facial fats and other things used by women and brothers. Brother Tan can just give this to his sister-in-law. They know more than you. The biggest jar in it, It is used for bathing, and men can also use it, and it is more convenient to wash than bath beans."

Tan Yongyi nodded, thinking that with Jiang Ning's beauty, everything that can be used must be good, and if he gave it to his daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law must be happy, but he wanted to accept it.

"Okay, bring your daughter-in-law to our house to play some other day."

Gu Xingzhi did not refuse, the two of them talked, and Tan Yongyi gave Gu Xingzhi the latest wanted criminal information.
