Chapter 536 Ninety-One Pharmacy
Surrounding the drug store are a variety of shops, including jewelry, ready-made clothing and footwear, pommel horse sedan shops, teahouses and storytellers. It is a very lively neighborhood.
The two traveled in a low-key manner, with only two girls, Sun Huai and four guards, passing by the crowded bridge without attracting much attention.
Zhang Dalang and his beloved came out to welcome them into the inner room.
Fu Jiuqu raised his hand to stop him, "You go about your business and don't pay attention to us."
After saying that, he smiled happily, stretched out his hand to support Xin Yi, and looked down with a smile.
"Boss Xin, will you take me around?"
Xin Yi nodded towards his beloved, and everyone was happy to see that his husband and wife were harmonious, so they secretly smiled and walked away.
It has only been more than half a month since the lease of the drug store was completed, but the preliminary preparations actually started when Zhang Dalang and his husband came to Yangzhou. The placement of personnel, equipment, cabinets and even signboards had already been implemented, so the preparations were so fast.
Fu Jiuqu walked around the front hall and back yard, and everyone he met lowered their heads, saluted, didn't say much, didn't ask too many questions, and everyone was very disciplined, which made him couldn't help but take another look at Xin Yi.
Xin Yi knew what he wanted to say and smiled back.
The wages of helpers in the pharmacy are much higher than those in other pharmacies, but the employment conditions include a "confidentiality agreement". Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't pry about what you shouldn't pry, and don't publicize anything that happens in the drug store.
Including their family members, otherwise they will need to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
The guys were very cautious about signing their names in black and white.
Looking at the familiar items in this drug store, Fu Jiuqu smiled happily, walked to the small stone trough beside the courtyard wall, washed his hands, and joked softly.
"Those who don't know think you moved Bianjing Pharmacy here..."
Xin Yi said: "If I can move it, I will move it."
Fu Jiuqu washed his hands and suddenly turned around, with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
"Why isn't it called Xinyi Pharmacy?"
On the black plaque on the storefront, the four characters "Ninety-One Drug Store" were clearly written.
"New place, new atmosphere, change the name and start over."
Xin Yi said lightly, seeing the man looking at her with wet hands, and silently handed the handkerchief to him.
Fu Jiuqu took the handkerchief, put it into his arms, wiped his hands on his lapel, and smiled calmly, "You can't build a brand by changing names."
Xin Yi looked at his move of putting away the veil with confusion, "I have long since lost my original intention of building a brand. The purpose of opening a medical clinic is to help the world and save people. It's just a false name. I don't need it."
Fu Jiuqu smiled softly: "Such a big picture. If my father was half as good as you, he wouldn't be where he is today..."
Of course, this father refers to his real father who owns a large multinational company and a big brand.
Xin Yi didn't know much about their father-son relationship and wasn't very interested, so he reached out and asked him for a veil.
"If you don't need it, just give it back to me."
Fu Jiuqu: "I won't pay it back."
Xin Yi frowned and looked at him. When he saw someone walking around in the yard, he lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing? You are still missing in the house..."
Fu Jiuqu: "That's different. You personally gave this to me."
Xin Yi: "???"
Fu Jiuqu: "Don't think I don't understand. In ancient times, women's handkerchiefs, sachets, and other accessories cannot be given away casually. Once given, it is used as a token of love..."
Friendship wiping his hands can lead to so many meanings?
Xin Yi almost made him laugh angrily.
"But I am not an ancient woman."
"You are." Fu Jiuqu's black eyes shone brightly, and he smiled a little, "From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, how do you not look like an ancient woman?"
Good guy!
Xin Yi never knew that this person could have such a rogue side.
It was nothing more than a veil. She didn't bother to talk to him, so she gave him a lukewarm look, turned around and went into the house.
The reason why Xinyi changed the name of her store actually had nothing to do with what she said. Apart from commemorating the past between her and Brother Jiu, the most important thing was to avoid trouble. In Bianjing, "Xinyi Medicine Shop" was too famous.
Reputation can be helpful or tiring. Now Fu Jiuqu is in charge of Yangzhou, which is the capital of Huaidong and several administrative centers are in Yangzhou. Being too eye-catching would be bad for his reputation.
Even though this Fu Jiuqu is not the man in her heart, he is the same in the eyes of others.
Ninth Brother was away, so she had to maintain his dignity.
Xin Yi looked around and found that it was clean, tidy and in order.
There are a dozen new clerks in the pharmacy, all selected by Zhang Dalang and his husband after they came to Yangzhou. They have just learned pharmacology and have been trained for half a month. Five new doctors have been hired. Zhou Daozi is talking to them on the second floor.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the opening tomorrow.
Xin Yi went up to the third floor, and her husband followed her and gave her some water.
"Sister, are you satisfied with it?"
Xin Yi looked at her with a smile, "You and Brother Zhang have worked hard these days. When the shop stabilizes, if the Deng family urges you to get married, you can go back to Bianjing..."
"I don't want to." My beloved pursed his lips, "I don't want to get married so early."
Xin Yi couldn't tell whether she was sincere or shy, he just looked at her with a smile, "You and your Deng Lang are separated in two places, don't you miss me?"
"Didn't sister say that she wanted to test him?"
"Have you been out for a few months? Haven't you been tested?" Xin Yi asked: "How are you two doing lately? Do you often exchange letters?"
My beloved nodded, hesitated and then said: "When I first came to Yangzhou, a letter would be delivered every three or five days. Later, he said that the schoolwork in the academy was tight, and the teacher's supervision was also strict, so gradually things became sparse..."
Perhaps it was a girlish feeling, worried about gains and losses, and she frowned.
"To be honest with you sister, I found that Deng Lang has changed a bit."
Xin Yi squeezed Cha's hand and paused slightly, "How do you say it?"
My beloved said: "Deng Lang is a scholar, and I didn't read the letters he wrote very thoroughly... My sister knows that I only have a little bit of ink in my stomach, so I can speak well, but when I write letters, they are scrawled and vulgar, and I can't communicate with them.
He talked about romance. After coming and going, I think he had nothing to say to me..."
Emotions are impulses, and you can indulge in whatever you like, but marriage should not be taken lightly. It will be a long-term stay together. Putting aside love, it is more important to have consistent three views, like-minded interests, and something to say.
Xin Yi thought for a moment and smiled lightly.
"Men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. You are right to think carefully about it."
The beloved man lowered his head, his voice a little weak.
"But I'm getting older, and my family is always urging me. Now Xiangling has someone she likes. If I hold her back, how will she get married..."
"Life-long events are not something to be trifled with. Xiang Ling will understand. Besides, there is no law that stipulates that if the elder sister is not married, the younger sister cannot marry..."
Xin Yi looked at her and comforted her softly, "Relax. The person who belongs to you will definitely come. If you don't belong to you, you can't force it..."
My beloved nodded and walked out with the tray. He was startled when he saw Fu Jiuqu standing outside the door.
"The prince is here."
Fu Jiuqu nodded unnaturally, staggered through the door, and sat next to Xin Yi.
"What's for lunch?"
Xin Yi was slightly stunned, "I thought that when you came here today, you would ask He Wulang and Madam Fang about what happened back then?"
Fu Jiuqu lazily picked up her water, put it into his mouth without seeing anyone else, and said slowly: "There is nothing to ask. They say they are people in the case, but in fact they are outsiders and know nothing about it from beginning to end."
Xin Yi nodded.
Now Huzi is studying and practicing calligraphy with Ernian, and He Wulang and Fang can make a living by working in the drug store again, for which they are very grateful. The couple works hard every day, getting up earlier than others and sleeping better than others.
Others are late, and I wish I could repay them with the rest of my life. I never thought that there would be a possibility of overturning the verdict.
If you give them hope and then be disappointed, it's better to have a sudden surprise.
··
Today, a sumptuous lunch was prepared in the drug store. Originally, Xin Yi was going to eat with everyone, but with Fu Jiuqu's sudden arrival, as you can imagine, it became a meal for two.
"You all go down, there is no need for anyone to wait on you here."
With Fu Jiuqu's lukewarm words, no one was left in the room in an instant, and even Sun Huai ran away quickly...
Xin Yi was originally not used to having people around to take care of her, but since she became pregnant, she has become more and more dependent. The girls have withdrawn and they have to do everything by themselves, but she is not used to it.
"I'll do it." Fu Jiuqu saw her raising her hand to pick up the food and jumped in front of her: "Do you like this?"
Xin Yi hummed, "I can do it."
Fu Jiuqu raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with a half-smile, "You don't mean what you say. You are a picky person..."
Xin Yi lowered his head to eat and said nothing.
Fu Jiuqu put the dishes into her bowl, "You don't have to be like me. We are people who want to live together for a long time. Being husband and wife will not last for a day or two..."
