Chen Xi went to school with her schoolbag on her back. As soon as she walked out of the medicine shop, she saw that the street was not very similar to usual. Jitou was taking people to cooperate with the yamen runners to regulate the vendors who set up stalls, especially the two streets close to Huiniang Pharmacy. There was a large space left to facilitate the imperial envoy's car to pass by.

Perhaps the county magistrate Han wanted to prove that the people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment, but they did not drive away all the vendors, but the beggars who affected their image and the untidy Lifu who were waiting on the roadside all rushed to the alley.

Chen Xi walked to the intersection, looked around the new street, and muttered: "I can only do superficial work."

At this time, an old voice came from the roadside tea stall: "Little brother, you will just say this privately. It will be heard in the ears of the government. There will be no need to suffer any more."

Chen Xi looked around and saw that the old man who was talking had gray hair, a jade-colored wide-sleeved shirt, and a black soft scarf hanging on his head. He was elegant and elegant, and he looked like a scholar. He couldn't help but salute: "What the old man taught is that the emperor is the emperor who listens to the affairs of the people by envoys, and the local people are doing face to cater to the best of their wishes, which is not a good deed."

The old man smiled when he heard this.

Chen Xi looked at the old man's appearance, but the old man looked very consistent with the image of an old Taoist priest he made. However, this old man looked extraordinary and seemed to have been in the top position for a long time and was used to being pampered.

"You little brother is not old, but you can tell a big truth. Do you know that there is a pharmacy in this city, and the one who is in the clinic is a goddess doctor. How should you go?" the old man asked.

Chen Xi was slightly calm, and most of the people who came to Hui Niang to treat acne, but the old man blushed and looked very bright, not like someone who had this need.

This man spoke with a northern accent, but with a soft Jiangnan accent.

Several burly men sat on the table next to the old man, with their waists bulging and wrapped in cloth like weapons, looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Xi was alert. Could this be the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to visit Hui Niang? The plot of private visits often performed in the plays appeared before his eyes?

"Old sir, are you here to find a goddess doctor? I know where her shop is. There are many people who have come to seek medical treatment and ask for medicine during this period. Why don't I take you there?" Chen Xi said respectfully.

The old man smiled and nodded: "Then it's a blessing for the little brother."

Chen Xi secretly cried in his heart that it was so dangerous. Fortunately, he didn't criticize the court and the imperial envoy in front of this old man, otherwise he would be really unable to live up to his life.

Chenxi led the way, and the old man followed behind him. The men stood up and followed him, but they did not get too close. They deliberately did not want the old man to stop and speak out.

When he arrived at the entrance of the medicine shop, Chen Xi pointed at the shop and said, "Old sir, it's here. I want to study and can't send you old man in. Goodbye."

After saying that, he saluted respectfully and turned around and left. The old man nodded with satisfaction.

When Chen Xi took two steps, he heard the old man talking to himself: "This Hakka land is simple and simple. You can see the spots from this little child."

Chen Xi never thought that the old man would have such a high evaluation of the folk customs of Ninghua County. However, the magistrate Han, who was doing the face-saving project, was useless.

Chen Xi didn't think much about it. Because he had been wasted before, he ran to the school. When he arrived at the door, he learned that Mr. Su was ordered by the magistrate of Han and went to the city gate to welcome the imperial envoy. The school gave the students a day off.

All the students were very excited. Even children who came to study from the countryside around the county town had a rare occasion to go to the street for fun without studying.

Chen Xi naturally went back to the medicine shop.

He felt a little upset. County Magistrate Han was not present. The two women of Hui Niang and Zhou did not know the identity of the imperial envoy, so they were easily neglected. However, according to Chen Xi's previous performance, he seemed quite approachable, so he didn't know if he was like a person.

Chen Xi hurried back to the medicine shop. In order to avoid attracting attention, he deliberately entered through the back door and saw Lu Xier playing shuttlecock in the yard.

"Brother Chen Xi, let's have fun."

Lu Xier's age was so old that she didn't know anything except playing, but she got entangled when she saw Chen Xi.

Chen Xi made a gesture of silence, looked at the direction of the main hall, and asked, "Xi'er, an old man came over before, can he be inside?"

Lu Xier shook her head, not because she didn't know, but she didn't understand what Chen Xi was talking about.

Chen Xi had no choice but to come to the door leading to the shop in front, and stretched out his head to see some people gathered in front of the counter, and the queue for buying medicine extended to the outside of the shop in a long queue.

Chen Xi looked around and finally found the old man sitting upright on the chair in the corner.

The old man smiled and looked at Hui Niang and Zhou who were busy, and he kept nodding. Hui Niang and Zhou also ignored him, and should have regarded him as the family members of the patient who came to ask for medicine.

"Xiaolang, why are you back?"

Zhou Yi glanced at Chen Xi, who was in a terrifying manner, and looked at him angrily.

Chen Xi had no choice but to go out and lower his head and said, "Mom, the sir and the people from the yamen went out of the city to welcome the imperial envoy of the court. The school has given us a vacation, so we don't have to go to school today."

Zhou then felt relieved and nodded: "That's right, come and help me get the medicine. I'm so busy today. You take the prescription to read to my mother, and my mother weighs the medicine."

Because Hui Niang sells affordable medicines, it is much cheaper than the medicinal materials in other medicine shops in the city, which makes many people ask about the medicine. Chen Xi took the prescription, but looked at the old man in the corner.

The old man looked at Chen Xi with a playful look, stood up quickly, took the people away from the medicine shop, and did not stop for too long.

"What are you looking at? What is the following medicine? How much should you weigh?" Zhou urged impatiently.

Chen Xi put down the prescription directly and ran out of the door a few steps to see the old man's back as he looked away, not like he was going to the county government, nor to the north gate where Han County Magistrate brought people to welcome him, but to the east of the city.

"Am I guessed wrong?"

Just as Shen Xi muttered to himself, his ears suddenly hurt, but Zhou chased him out and twisted his ears and pulled him back. He immediately shouted: "Mom, be gentle, what are you doing? I am your own son."

"Boy, you are not my own son and have to open your butt. I will let you read the prescription. You ran out like a devil, but don't take me seriously?"

Chen Xi looked up at Zhou, and saw the old lady looking at him with her waist angrily, and hurriedly explained: "Mom, the person who came just now is so strange. I guess he might be the imperial envoy sent by the court."

"It has nothing to do with you. People in the yamen will naturally receive him. What does it have to do with us? He comes and goes. If he is so busy inside, don't be idle, go!"

After saying that, Zhou pulled Chen Xi into the medicine shop, which made Chen Xi not have any leisure time in the morning.

Chen Xi didn't expect that he would be so tired if he didn't study. Not only did he have to help Zhou read prescriptions and get medicine, but if there were fewer medicines, he also had to go to the backyard warehouse to get some.

It was busy until noon, and the guests were gone in scattered ways, and Chen Xi could sit down and rest for a while.

"Sister is tired? Sister is going to cook now."

With Zhou's help in the medicine shop, Hui Niang mainly received customers and settled accounts and checked accounts. At this time, there was no one left. She simply cleaned up and went to the kitchen in the backyard.

"Oh, no need, I asked Dai'er to heat up the morning meal at home. Let's have a meal first, I'm afraid there will be more guests in the afternoon." Zhou sat down and said.

As soon as the words were finished, a large number of people came over at the door.
