The old man's required medicine is almost ready, about 70% prepared.
The manager of the shop was Mr. Sire, and at home he had two clever young servants who ran errands for him.
These two young men, one named Aliang and the other Guier, were both originally from the front gate house, and were actually people trained by Sijian.
The medicine cabinet is all set up, it's just that there are no medicines in it.
Now it's just waiting for a skilled doctor to take over.
The old man has been in a state of mental clarity recently, writing day and night to the point of neglecting sleep and food. No one can persuade him otherwise. Even his most trusted advisor, Huajin, was scolded away when he came to urge him to rest at midnight.
The matter of the pharmacy needs to be put off for a while longer.
Xie Lian accompanied Ah Liang and Gu Er to the fabric store where Song Xinzhu was serving as a bridesmaid, obtained Song Xinzhu's orders, observed and learned from her, and helped out with some tasks on the side.
Song Pan'er also called Wang Ben, the shopkeeper of the cloth store, to come and talk: "Don't worry that Si Lian will take over your business, keep this in mind! I'll send him away from somewhere else. As long as the cloth store doesn't go bankrupt, it's definitely you and your son who are in charge. My words count, you know that best. He's coming to your place just to learn some rules of doing business. If you dare to be stingy and not teach him, think about how I used to be."
Wang Ben hastily knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not! Master Zhan is gone, I will do my best to teach him, guaranteeing that he will learn it thoroughly. Please rest assured, milady!"
Song Pan'er smiled and nodded slightly.
By February 15th, Qin Shenshi had sent out invitations, asking everyone in the Gu family to come and drink.
Qin Shenyi bought a shop in the most prosperous section of Dongmen Street and opened Qin's Hundred Herb Hall. The "Houde Zai Fu" plaque, written by the emperor himself, was hung on the wall at the very top of the main hall.
Song Pan'er hastily ordered the steward Sun Youtang to prepare a thick gift and sent it over; he also gave Gao Yanjin some silver, letting him buy something with his own heart, and went to congratulate on the opening day.
Received the gift. Qin Shenshi's wife came to the door and kowtowed to Song Pantou.
Qin Shen Si was a sixth-grade official, and the emperor also granted Qin San Tai Tai the title of Sixth-Grade Anren.
Song Pan'er, where did she receive her gift?
Madam Qin curtsied, and Song Pan'er hastily went forward to greet her, returning courtesy after courtesy.
"We've just moved into a new house on our side. Although it's simple and humble, we can still put up with it." Mrs. Qin said to Song Wanting, "Tomorrow is the formal banquet, please ask Madam and Seventh Miss to come and sit for a while..."
Qin Shenshi's wife was slender and pale, with a pair of very lively eyes and a smile on her face.
Gu's family often interacted with Qin Shen, but his wife had never visited their home even once.
Song Pan'er always thought that Qin Shenyi's wife was a woman who couldn't be put on stage. She was afraid of being restrained, so she didn't dare to invite her casually.
Now take a look at Qin San's wife, gentle and elegant. Dignified and generous, completely not the kind of timid and fearful woman that Song Dan'er had imagined.
Song Pan'er secretly praised her and said, "I'll definitely go! My sister doesn't know yet. She's been following my family's old master lately, always serving by his side. If she can find the time, she'll go too."
"You can go, my humble abode is honored by your presence!" said Qin's wife. "I was also afraid to at first. But my husband said that you are a kind and gentle person who would not look down on us because of our poverty. I'm just an ignorant woman, so I didn't believe it and was worried about disturbing you. Now that I see you, you truly are compassionate and sympathetic."
Song Pan'er was so speechless with laughter and tears by what she said.
"What words!" she said. "I'm just a rustic Southerner, everyone in the capital knows me. You're being too kind to me, I really don't dare accept."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Mrs. Qin bid farewell and went to another family's banquet invitation.
At night, Song Pan'er asked Gu Jin if he was going or not.
Madam Qin's family had only invited relatives.
Qin Shen Si held a banquet at Wai Tou wine house, and also invited colleagues, friends, relatives, Gu Yan Zhen, Hu Ze Yu, and even the son of Yong Xi Hou, all came to attend.
Yuanping Hou's Jiang Fu also sent a golden plaque.
The day of opening was very lively.
After three rounds of wine, Gu Yan thought of his daughter's entrustment before she left: "... His master is from Yanling Mansion, he is a person he has used to, with the best eyesight, and will not choose the wrong medicine. Ask Qin Taifu if we can divide some medicine first, and then return it to him after our side is officially settled."
Gu Yanzhong thinks it's okay.
This way, it saves trouble for Gu's family to go buy medicine separately.
Taking medicine is a very trying thing for people.
The market is full of counterfeit and low-quality medicines, it's easy to be deceived if you're not careful. If you buy fake or inferior medicine at a high price, your reputation will be ruined and people will laugh at you.
Gu Jinzi herself was a lady and didn't like going to the medicine market.
Even if she chose Mr. Zuo, she was still not very reassured.
Before Lao Yezi leaves the pass, she wants to get things done first. After thinking about it repeatedly, she can only trouble Qin Shenshi for now.
Qin Shen Si was making a round of toasts everywhere. By the time he sat down beside Gu Yan Zhen, he had already become 30% drunk.
Gu Yanzheng also said to Qin Shenshi: "...the price won't be less. My sister said, you have a good eye, more reliable than others. She trusts you the most..."
Qin Sheng smiled: "What a big deal! I just opened my business here, and the medicine is from Ningguo Prefecture in Anhui Province. Each kind is very sufficient. Giving half to Seventh Miss is no problem. In the future when buying medicine, just give me a call, and I'll personally go there myself, it's only right!"
Gu Yanwen bowed to him and thanked him.
Qin Sheng hurriedly said something he should say.
The next day, he personally delivered the medicine over.
Gu Jin was overjoyed and hastily went out to welcome him.
She smiled and said, "I've caused you trouble. I had no choice either. The old master who used to sit in our hall doesn't know where he went now. Every master with exceptional eyesight, where would they dare go to make a joke in the medicine market?"
Qin Sheng hurriedly said: "Seventh Miss says troublesome words, it's all because of me! Seventh Miss to Mei Qi is a life-saving kindness! These are all Mei Qi's duties..."
"You're saying this, but you're also comforting me." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "I didn't exert much effort, it's your good medical skills."
Gu Yanwen couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she smiled and stepped forward: "You two are being polite back and forth, I'm standing here and I'm about to freeze to death! Where should these medicines be sent first? Jing sister, why don't you go ask your grandfather?"
"Let's take it directly to the pharmacy instead. Call Si Lian and the others back to help."
The attendant beside him was busy giving orders.
Gu Jin himself sent it to the pharmacy.
She stood aside, directing the young man to sort out the medicine and put it into small drawers carved with the names of the medicines in the medicine cabinet, and the rest were also sorted and stored in the warehouse at the back.
Qin Shenyi was also helping on the side.
Gu Yanwen said, "Mei Qing, take a look at my sister. She's very skilled. You can't help much here either, the pharmacy still has business to attend to, and the hospital needs to be manned. Why don't you go ahead and take care of things first?"
Qin Shen saw that Gu Jin was extremely skilled in identifying medicinal herbs. Indeed, no help was needed, so he smiled and bid farewell.
Before leaving, he said again: "If there's anything else you need here, have Miss Qi send someone to tell me. Don't be polite, being polite with me is too formal."
"Please don't think I'm being a bother."
Qin Shen Si smiled and made a bow to Gu Yan Zhen before returning to his shop on Dongmen Street.
There were nearly a thousand small drawers of various sizes on the medicine cabinet, dazzling and eye-catching.
The medicine sent by Qin Sheng was relatively common. There were five or six hundred small bags. All of them were placed in the main hall of the pharmacy.
Gu Jin recognized it as the same one. Let Si Lian and A Liang, Gui Er arrange them.
Xie Yan was shocked and asked Gu Jin: "Miss, how can you remember so many medicines? Are you a fairy reborn?"
Gu Jin burst out laughing.
A Liang and Gui'er didn't find it funny. Lianlian nodded repeatedly on the side: "Everyone at home says that the young lady is a divine being reborn. Otherwise, how could she have such good medical skills? I've never seen anyone who can't be cured by her! Now she even recognizes so many medicinal herbs!"
Gu Jin Zhi smiled again.
After a busy morning, Haitang brought several women to deliver lunch to Gu Jinzhi at noon.
The whole house was filled with a medicinal smell, Haitang couldn't help but cover her nose, and her stomach churned.
Gu Jingzi said: "It's enough to send a little kid over, why did sister come herself?"
Haitang took a long time to get used to these smells, and smiled: "I'll take a look at this shop..."
After Gu Jin finished eating, Si Jian and A Liang, Gui Er also half squatted on the ground to eat.
Gu Jin brought Haitang and looked around everywhere.
The ground, counter and drawers were all filled with medicine, they were still busy here, so he stood up to bid farewell.
She had not gone out yet when Zhu Zhongjun also arrived.
"Little Qi, where have you been all day?" Gu Jinzhi asked when she saw Qin Shenshen outside the courtyard. Zhu Zhongjun was too lazy to walk and stayed in her east wing room's kang, reading a book.
As a result, Gu Jinzhi never came back again.
He went to ask the maid in the main courtyard and only then did he know that Gu Jin had come to the pharmacy.
After dinner, Zhu Zhongjun also rushed over in a hurry.
In the afternoon, Zhu Zhongjun was also helping with the work.
It wasn't until dusk that they had finished packing up half of the medicinal herbs.
"Let's put it off for now, I'll come again tomorrow." said Gu Jinzhi.
For three consecutive days, she was in the pharmacy, sorting out medicinal materials and putting them one by one into the drawers of the medicine cabinet.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that it barely managed to take shape.
Gu Jing calculated the price of these medicinal materials and found that it would cost at least 200,000 liang of silver to make them.
She went back home and told Song Tan Er.
Song Pan'er had Song's mother open the warehouse and took out twenty-five silver tickets, each worth one thousand taels: "This is twenty-five thousand taels, have someone deliver it to the Qin family. Qin Mei'ge has just opened a pharmacy, he doesn't have any savings, it was all awarded by the Yuanping Marquis's estate, this is not a good time to take advantage of them."
Song's mother thought for a moment and said: "If someone else sends it over, Doctor Qin will definitely not accept it..."
In the end, all I can do is see you off.
Gu Yanzhong agreed.
On February 19th, Gu Yanwen got up early in the morning to prepare to send money to Qin Meiqing, but people from the Yuan family arrived.
"Master and mistress of the family, our third master has won!" The newcomer knelt down to give a respectful bow to Gu Yan and Song Daner, smiling as he spoke.
Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Song Pan'er smiled and asked: "What ranking did you get?"
"The second prize of the 59th draw." The newcomer laughed and said, "It's really the blessing of our ancestors!"
The top two will be selected from the first sixty.
This is indeed a manifestation of the ancestors' divine power. It was almost just a fellow jinshi.
Song Pan'er hastily ordered someone to prepare the congratulatory gifts.
Before he could speak, a little maid came in and announced: "The King of Nanchang has arrived, please see him, Third Master."
Gu Yanwen was taken aback.
