Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 8 Costs

The 300 green onion pancakes and 9 pounds of braised pork were sold out quickly.

  Cheng Xi counted the profits and made one or two silvers after deducting the costs.

  This income is enough for ordinary people to have enough food and clothing, but now time waits for no one, it is still too little.

  Once the braised pork's reputation is established, we can try selling it.

  "Brother Wang, we have thirty kilograms of pork today."

  "Okay, I'll give you a penny less for every kilogram. Have you finished what you bought yesterday?"

  "Did some business."

  Cheng Xi counted out the copper coins and gave them to the meat stall owner. , and took the pig's trotters and pig's ears that had been ordered long ago.

  To get home from the dock, she had to cross the main street of Lin'an Mansion. She went to the grain store and bought fifty pounds of white flour, thirty pounds of polished rice, and ten pounds of soybeans. All the spaces on the cart were clearly arranged.

  Thanks to the original owner's natural power, otherwise it would be a question whether he could push it.

  Turning into the alley where the Shen family was located, Cheng Xi saw a low-key yet luxurious carriage parked at the door, with servants in gray clothes standing on both sides.

  Visitors are coming.

  She guessed the other party's identity in her mind, and heard a clear conversation coming from the yard.

  "Brother Shen, how are you feeling these days? Have you seen the doctor?"

  "Ahem. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Zhou is thinking about it. I'm fine."

  There was a violent cough.

  Shen Xingqi was a little anxious, "Brother, it's cold outside. You just started to feel better, so you can't stay here." "

  Look, I was negligent. Brother Shen, come in quickly!"

  Cheng Xi parked the car at the door, opened the door and walked in. The first thing I saw when I entered was the cheap man who was so weak that he was about to fall down at any time. His Qingjun face was full of exhaustion, and the cyan color in his eyes was visible.

  "???"

  When did her husband become so weak?

  It's a bit bluffing to look like he won't survive more than two episodes.

  "Brother Shen, this is it."

  Young Master Jinfu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he saw Cheng Xi. A slight smile appeared on his handsome face, looking kind and friendly.

  Shen Xingluo coughed twice and was out of breath.

  "This is Zhuo Jing. Xi'er, this is Mr. Zhou Xu's, my husband's classmate in the academy." "

  It turns out to be Mrs. Shen. It's really rude that Zhou didn't come to congratulate Brother Shen on his wedding." "

  Zhou Young Master, since you are my husband's classmate, it's good that you get what you want."

  Cheng Xi turned slightly to avoid the other person's courtesy and looked at the other person calmly.

  The brocade clothes and vertical crown, whether it is the fixed hairpin with rubies on his head or the carriage outside, are enough to illustrate the family background of this young master Zhou. His handsome facial features, especially the smile on his face, add to his charm.

  The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture seems to be named Zhou Lai.

  "Ahem..."

  Cheng Xi looked away and turned to look into Shen Xingluo's bottomless black eyes.

  "Brother Shen, today I specially invited Dr. Wu from Renxintang. Would you like him to take your pulse?"

  "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Thank you for your help, Dr. Wu."

  The old man behind Mr. Jinyi came forward with a medicine box and stretched out his hand. He put his right hand on Shen Xingluo's wrist, shook his head for a moment and sighed.

  "Master Shen's pulse is weak, and his abdomen may be injured."

  "Brother Shen is the Jieyuan of our Lin'an Mansion, so nothing should happen to him. Even if Doctor Wu prescribes medicine, he must heal the injury."    

  "Yes, yes, I will prescribe a prescription right now."

  Doctor Wu wrote a prescription cautiously. Shen Xingluo thanked her and handed it to her sister and started coughing again.

  Cheng Xi supported him, "Husband, do you want to go back to your room to rest?"

  "Mrs. Shen is right. Brother Shen should go back to his room. It's Zhou's fault. He should come back to visit in a few days."

  The other party didn't seem to have any plans . After a few pleasantries, the luxurious carriage quickly disappeared into the alley.

  Next to her, Shen Xingqi was holding the freshly baked prescription Liushenwuzhu in her hands.

  "Brother, why has your condition worsened again? What should I do? Should I go get you medicine first?"

  "Go."

  Soon there were two people left in the yard.

  Cheng Xi took back the hand that was supporting him and held a medium-sized ball in her palm.

  "It is said that holding an iron ball under the arm can change the strength of the pulse, and even cause a brief pulse arrest. So is it true?" "

  My wife is smart, I didn't expect to study medical books."

  Shen Xingluo was exposed. There was no guilt at all, and there was a coldness in his sharp eyes as he looked out the door.

  "That Zhou Xuzhi wants to take the top prize?"

  "Which student in the world doesn't want to take the top prize? Why do you ask me?"

  "I remember that he was the first prize in the Lin'an Prefecture Provincial Examination and ruined you. In addition, the Zhou family has influence in the court and wants to do it in one fell swoop. It's not difficult to pass the exam."

  As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, she noticed that the way the cheap husband looked at her changed.

  "What, what I said is wrong?"

  Shen Xingluo's dark eyes were dark, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.

  After a while, he withdrew his gaze.

  "How did you know?"

  "I guessed it. Now it seems that my guess was right."

  Cheng Xi rarely recalled the experience of the original owner since she came here, but Shen Xingluo's pretending to be sick just now reminded her of something.

  On the day the results were released, he encountered robbers who were ruthless and even ruined his appearance. And the original owner went all over the state and failed to find a doctor willing to go out. Even if it was raining heavily, Jieyuan's name should not be so cheap.

  Some people don't like the cheap husband and want to get rid of him quickly.

  Who could this person be?

  Firstly, Shen Xingluo's reaction gave her inspiration, and secondly, Zhou Xuzhi's acting skills were not up to par.

  The handsome young man's kind smile was enough to deceive the little girl, but it couldn't hide it from Cheng Xi's eyes.

  Every day in the workplace, she has to face countless business elites who are smiling on the outside but want to kill each other on the inside. How can she dare to manage such a large company without any discernment.

  "Since you know that he is uneasy and well-intentioned, you still let Xingqi grab the medicine that is definitely ineffective. Do you intend to drag him down?" "

  Now is not the time to fight back."

  Shen Xingluo lowered his eyes, hiding the deep meaning in his eyes, "Mrs. Any other suggestions?"

  "It's not impossible."

  Cheng Xi had a toothache, "It just costs money."

  Shen Xingluo: "."
