Chapter 140 The youngest!
The next morning, Wen Yan led a few people to set off. According to Shui Jinglüe, the name of the medicine shop in Huachao County was also called Zhongjingtang.
Now that it has a name, places like pharmacies are very easy to find.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Zhongjing Hall. The layout was very similar to that of Xiahe Town, but the details were the characteristics of Huachao County.
A little pharmacist was standing behind a cabinet halfway up the pharmacy, busy preparing medicines.
Wen Yan walked over and said, "Excuse me, is the shopkeeper of Zhongjingtang surnamed Shui? I have a letter for him."
The little medicine boy glanced at Wen Yan and saw that she seemed to be from another place, so he said, "What letter? My boss doesn't accept love letters."
Wen Yan: ...
Shui Yancai, who was standing by, blushed with embarrassment and said to the medicine boy, "Don't you even recognize me, your young master?"
The little medicine boy stared at Shui Yancai for a few seconds, then immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be the young master. What brings you here?"
He walked over attentively to lead the way for Shui Yancai, "So you guys are the young master's friends, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Unexpectedly, Shui Yancai's status and position were so high. Wen Yan glanced at him curiously, and said business: "I am from Xiahe Town. This letter was given to me by Shui Jingli, Doctor Shui, to be handed over to your shopkeeper."
When the little medicine boy heard the name of Shui Jinglüe, he became more energetic and said, "Please wait in our backyard for a while. I will go and invite the shopkeeper."
The little medicine boy led them into the backyard and left Shui Yancai alone in a room, saying, "This is specially prepared for the Shui family. Please follow me to another place."
Wen Yan nodded lightly and handed the letter to the little medicine boy. She did not reject this arrangement. For safety reasons, it would be better to hand Shui Yancai over personally.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming, Wan Xuan couldn't sit still and went out for a walk. Soon she came back with Shui Yancai.
The two are confronting each other.
Wen Yan held her forehead slightly. How come these two people started quarreling again after not seeing each other for such a short time?
Wan Xuan pointed at the room and said, "Look, if you want to see it, just take a look! Don't say I lied to you!"
Shui Yancai looked at the room and found that the furnishings were indeed not as good as his place, so she immediately wanted to change the room for Wen Yan and the others.
"No need!" Wan Xuan snorted, "I just can't stand your self-righteous attitude. You said we are your guests and we must have arranged a good resting place for us. Now you understand, don't you?"
Shui Yancai looked a little gloomy, frowning, "The people I brought were placed here? I'm going to settle the score with him!"
"Wait!" Wen Yan drank the unclear tea without much dissatisfaction, "I'm just waiting for someone here, why are you arguing about this? I think this place is pretty good."
"Mom, I don't dislike it, it's just that he thinks this place is not worthy of us." Wan Xuan made a face at him.
Wen Yan was overjoyed. She didn't know who this kid learned this weird look from.
Shui Yancai didn't think this was a trivial matter. Friends who looked down on him looked down on him! He went over and hugged his chest and said to Wen Yan: "Let's go back. Since Zhongjingtang is not sincere, let's go."
Wen Yan: ...What does this have to do with anything? Besides, aren't you also from Zhongjing Hall?
Without giving Wen Yan a chance to react, Shui Yancai pulled Wan Xuan away first.
Wen Yan had no choice but to follow him. When they passed by the place where Shui Yancai was resting, Wen Yan took a look and saw that there was indeed a big difference between the two places. It was almost the difference between a brick house and a large flat.
When I left through the main door, a new medicine boy was standing behind the cabinet in front.
A few children ran away first, and Wen Yan hurried to find them, and said hurriedly: "The children are scratching their heads today, I will visit them later!"
Then he quickly chased after him.
Shui Yancai did not go far, but waited for Wen Yan to come over not far away.
Not long after they left, a handsome man in his twenties hurried over and walked directly to the backyard, shouting, "Youngest! I heard you were here..."
I went to the backyard, but found no one there.
After asking, I found out that Shui Yancai had run away with his men.
Shui Xingjian asked the medicine boy who delivered the letter, "Tell me the whole process from the time they came in until you left."
The medicine boy said that Shui Yancai, Wen Yan and the others were given different places to rest. Shui Xingjian immediately sighed and patted the medicine boy on the head, "Why don't you just let them all rest in one place? Why do you have to separate them?"
"But doesn't that place say that only people from the Shui family can enter?" The medicine boy also felt wronged. "Besides, we run a medicine shop, so we only prepared that place for you to rest. Where else can people rest?"
Mercury Sword: "Aren't there other better houses?"
"Have you forgotten? Recently, a very strange disease has appeared in Huachao County. Although the number of cases is small, they need to be watched all the time, otherwise their lives will be in danger. Now there is only one place left where people can rest..."
Shui Xingjian was speechless. He knew that Yao Tong couldn't be blamed for this, but Shui Yancai couldn't be blamed either. This guy had been through a lot at such a young age, and had been involved in the complicated relationship between adults too early. It was no wonder that something like that had happened before...
He sighed, "Go and find out which inn they are staying at, and I will go and visit them in person."
Even if it wasn't a festival, Huachao County was still fun to visit. Wen Yan and the others were holding a lot of little gadgets in their hands.
Wen Yan glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Where do you want to go?"
Wan Xuan's eyes lit up: "Let's go to the store we just passed by. I saw someone eating something red with bayberry inside. It looks delicious."
Wen Yan also had an impression and asked Shui Yancai: "What do you think?"
Shui Yancai was suddenly asked and was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Okay, okay. I think it should be delicious."
Wen Yan's eyes flashed with confusion. Why was this child so absent-minded? But she soon stopped worrying about it in Wan Xuan's coquettish voice, and took people to the restaurant and booked a private room.
What Wan Xuan just talked about should be the ice dumplings in this restaurant. The soup is made by boiling red bayberry and rock sugar, and then added with cooled colorful small dumplings and garnished with a leaf of mint. It is very beautiful.
The weather today was not too cold, so Wen Yan didn't care about her wanting to stay cool.
Shui Yancai was not in the mood, so Wen Yan ordered the same thing for him as Wan Xuan, and then ordered a few more dishes.
Finally, they were the only ones left in the room. Wen Yan asked Shui Yancai in a soft voice, "Can you explain why you insisted on taking us with you? You left us with an impolite first impression, shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"
Shui Yancai picked at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl without saying a word.
Wen Yan also guessed that he might not say it, but she felt that Shui Yancai was a thoughtful person along the way, but he was really good to her daughter Wan Xuan, so she decided to ask.
After he slowly finished half a bowl, he held a mint leaf in his mouth and said to Wen Yan, "I'm telling you, you have to take me with you after you know this. You can't send me to the capital."
"Why? Isn't the capital your home?"
Shui Yancai's mouth was stimulated and felt very cold. "Yes, but I don't like it."
After a pause, he added: "I don't like this home."
Want to say something?
Shui Yancai thought of his large family and the current situation of the Shui family.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "My mother moved back to her parents' home when I was four years old. She took me to her place when I was five years old. She would treat me very well when outsiders came, but always ignored me when it was just the two of us. She just kept acting to maintain her relationship with the Shui family."
"So," Wen Yan asked tentatively, "you just hate it when people say one thing to your face and another behind your back?"
Shui Yancai nodded.
Wen Yan smiled gently: "Okay, I can accept this reason. Then I will forgive you for acting so rashly this time."
Wan Xuan curled her lips, "It's not advisable to avoid problems. When you encounter such a thing, you should think about solving it, and you can't just turn around and walk away. Otherwise, how do you know what others think? Brother Shui, next time you really have something to worry about, tell me and I will help you. Don't just walk away without saying a word."
Shui Yancai didn't expect that the reactions of these two people would be so unexpectedly... calm.
In the past, when he told people about his life story, some people would show sympathy to them, but he didn't think he was pitiful at all. It was a blessing to be born in such a wealthy family.
Shui Yancai felt both bitter and warm in her heart, and said to Wan Xuan, "Okay, Boss."
