Renxin Medical Hall was once again visited by two young girls, instantly buzzing with liveliness.
Before Lu Tong arrived, there were only Ah Cheng and Du Changqing in the shop; now, with the sudden addition of four girls as lovely as flowers and as beautiful as jade, even the plum tree at the entrance looked more pleasing to the eye.
Under the scorching sun, the cicadas buzzed loudly on the trees by the door, enough to make one's head spin. Du Changqing entered from outside and placed several bowls of syrup water on the counter: "Tea time!"
Yin Zheng, who was helping Lu Tong organize the medicine cabinet, glanced over and asked, "What is this?"
Du Changqing, hands on hips, proudly declared, "A syrup water shop just opened on West Street, three copper coins for a bowl, and you get one free with a purchase. The owner's treating you all; it's on the house."
"Thank you, cousin," said Xia Rongrong, who was embroidering handkerchiefs with Xiang Cao, in a soft voice.
