Chapter 285 Bullying others with power
Today was still a popular day for Xiao Yining. She waved to everyone and followed Cui Zhiyao to Shou Pharmacy.
"If I hadn't known that Cui Zhiyao was the daughter of the imperial physician, I would have thought that the little sister had found an apprentice for me!" The female doctor Tianxianzi looked at the little figure busy and happy not far away, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
Shou Pharmacy has always been quiet, but Cui Zhiyao always finds something to do. She doesn't have the slightest airs of a noble lady, and she is humble and eager to learn, so it is indeed easy for her to please others.
"Sister Cui is the only talented one in Lord Cui's family. It's a pity that Lord Cui is in the palace all year round and has no time to teach, and Doctor Shangguan has left the capital." Little Yining looked at Cui Zhiyao's busy appearance and responded with a smile.
When Tianxianzi heard the words "Dr. Shangguan", she snorted coldly, "That cowardly old man is very good at making money, but he is very quick to escape when it comes to taking lives."
She took back her hand from the little kid's pulse and continued, "I'm not as mercenary as that old man. My consultation fee is cheap, and so are the medicines I prescribe. If you feel unwell anywhere, you can come to me."
Seeing that she was trying to attract customers with every word she said, Xiao Yining asked expectantly, "Sister Doctor, how much will the medicine cost me this time?"
Tian Xianzi looked at her and said with a calm smile, "Only 998 taels."
"..."
It was indeed cost-effective. The Valley Master's Acacia Seed was one tael less for three thousand taels, but she could save two taels for one thousand taels.
Xiao Yining pursed her lips and looked away speechlessly. Although the money was less than before, she still felt that she had been cheated.
Tian Xianzi saw her like this, shook her head in amusement, and said softly: "Little sister, if my fellow apprentice sisters go to the Nalan family and get back all the money they lost, I will return the cost of the medicine to you."
As soon as these words fell, Xiao Yining quickly looked around and asked in a low voice, "Sister Doctor, did you ask someone to steal money?"
"What are you talking about, little sister? That money originally belonged to my Medicine Valley, and it is only natural for me to get it back. However, I have to wait until the internal strife of the Nalan family is over before I can get it back openly." The female doctor replied with a smile and gave the little boy a big melon.
Little Yining looked at her cunning eyes, combined with Yan Ke's rebellious words yesterday, and knew that the head of the Nalan family must be changed, otherwise the Nalan siblings would not listen to the male protagonist so much and live in the male protagonist's house.
She couldn't help but sigh that it was better to be in the girls' school, where she could get the big melons without any effort. It was not like at home, where she had to ask Qiu Yi out to find out about some insignificant small melons.
Xiao Yining felt that he had been well fed with melons these past two days.
Tian Xianzi saw her ignorant look, touched her little head, and gently reminded her, "Remember to tell your uncle that I will come tonight and ask him to prepare the silver. He doesn't need to make the medicine into pills, the medicine is quick to prepare."
Xiao Yining nodded. The medicine from the fellow villager was also of great importance. "Then the female doctor, remember to give my cousin a cheaper price. He is poor and needs to save money to marry a wife."
Hearing this, Tianxianzi couldn't help laughing out loud. Just as she was about to agree, a maid with tears in her eyes rushed in from outside.
The man lost his balance and fell to the ground, crying, "Doctor, come with me to see my young lady. She fell and hurt her face, and she's bleeding a lot."
The peaceful atmosphere in Shou Pharmacy was instantly broken. Tianxianzi's expression became serious. She picked up the medicine box beside her and hurriedly followed the maid.
Cui Zhiyao hurriedly ran to little Yining and said, "Sister Yining, I won't send you back. I want to go over and take a look."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Yining to reply, he followed Tian Xianzi's footsteps and left Shou Pharmacy.
Xiao Yining: ..., she also wants to go over.
She looked down at her arms and legs, regretfully gave up the idea of watching the show, and could only return to Linglong Courtyard with a depressed mood.
Chen Jiaoyi hasn't arrived yet. I guess she came to play after having a big meal.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yining became happy again. The house had been transformed into a more upscale one, and more people came to play.
However, her good mood only lasted for an hour before it was completely ruined. The girl who wanted to stand up for her fellow villager broke her promise, and two unexpected people came to her courtyard.
Jin Xingman and her cousin, Pu Fanmeng, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
As soon as Jin Xingman saw little Yining, she excitedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister Yining, did your father get a bottle of medicine from the abbey next door? Can you give the medicine to my cousin first? I will give you all the snacks. I will give you another bottle in a few days."
Zhao Ya immediately noticed something was wrong and said with a smile, "Miss Jin, this medicine is just an ordinary one. Shou Pharmacy also has it. Why did you come to my lady to exchange a bottle?"
"I..." Jin Xingman looked at her cousin in panic.
Pu Fanmeng walked forward, bent down to little Yining, and said sincerely, "Sister Yining, the abbot gave your father the Jade Snow Skin Cream, which can heal scars and restore skin to its original state, as if it were new. It is different from ordinary ointments and is extremely precious. You can't find it outside. Even Princess Anping doesn't have it."
"You are young, and you will recover quickly from any bumps and bruises, so you won't be able to use it. Can you give me this medicine first? After I marry the son of Qi Yuanhou, I will buy you a bottle at a high price."
Xiao Yining: ..., she used to think that Pu Fanmeng was a good person, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.
She looked at Jin Xingman. The little girl had already lowered her head and was sobbing in shame, not daring to look at her.
Zhao Ya's face turned cold after hearing what Pu Fanmeng said. She immediately stepped forward, pulled Xiao Yining behind her, and stared at Pu Fanmeng with vigilant eyes: "Ms. Pu, how can you deceive my young lady with such a light talk! This Jade Snow Skin Cream is extremely difficult to make, and there is only one bottle in the whole palace that belongs to the Queen. You took my young lady's bottle away, where can you find it? Do you think the Queen will give it to you for the sake of Marquis Qi Yuan?"
When Pu Fanmeng heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy. She frowned and coldly rebuked: "After all, you are a servant from a small family. You are so unruly. The master hasn't even said anything yet, but you are acting like a master."
She looked at little Yining again, put on a friendly smile, and said softly, "Sister Yining, don't listen to this old hag's nonsense. We are good friends, how could I cheat you?"
Xiao Yining looked at Pu Fanmeng quietly, and her eyes gradually became cold.
She softly refused, "Sister Park, I can't give you that ointment. This is something my father gave me. I can't give it to others."
After hearing this, Pu Fanmeng was not panicked at all. She just chuckled and said, "I often hear Manman say that sister Yining is very smart. Even the teacher will praise you when he sees you. Then you should know that since I can find you, countless people know that you have the Jade Snow Skin Cream. I took it to help you. You are the daughter of a mere scholar. Is that something you should have?"
"Then Sister Park doesn't know. There are so many things that I shouldn't have, such as the Boya Qin given to me by the emperor..." Xiao Yining replied with a smile.
Park Beomong: ...
At this time, Jin Xingman suddenly cried and begged, "Sister Yining, please help my cousin this time. She had an argument with Miss Xie after school and accidentally injured her face. The doctor said it would leave a scar. If she really has a scar, her grandfather, Prime Minister Xie, will not let my cousin's family go."
That has nothing to do with her.
Xiao Yining pursed her lips and said nothing. She was so arrogant even when asking for help. Did he really think she was easy to bully?
She stubbornly refused to nod, but Jin Xingman's next words still asked her to send the precious medicine away.
She slowly said, "Sister Yining, since my cousin and I have helped you in front of Miss Leng before, can you please give us the medicine first?"
They took the medicine and left satisfied.
Xiao Yining's face turned red from anger.
Zhao Ya also sighed helplessly. She patted her master on the back and coaxed her, "Young lady, don't be angry. The master has caught the emperor's eye and will soon be promoted to a high position. By then, no one will dare to bully you by taking advantage of his power."
Qiu Yi also poked her head out from behind the door. Seeing that there were only two people left in the yard, she ran out excitedly, raised her hand with the white cream, and said to Xiao Yining, "Miss, I secretly dug back half of the Yuxue Skin Cream just now. Don't be sad, we still have more."
Zhao Ya: ...
Xiao Yining: ...
