Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Afterwards, Mu Yao conducted a detailed physical examination of the two elderly people and prescribed medicine for them respectively.

Li Taifu had suffered from heart disease for many years, and he focused on internal regulation. The prescription prescribed by Doctor Wen was very effective in stabilizing his heart pulse, and his medical skills were indeed amazing. But Mu Yao was from the 23rd century after all, and she had countless good medicines and prescriptions. In addition, she graduated from the world's top medical university, O, and what she learned was beyond the reach of Doctor Wen. She replaced one of the herbs in Doctor Wen's prescription with Rhodiola rosea.

Master Li is still single at the age of over 50. Mu Yao saw that his eyelids were slightly swollen and there were two spots on his left neck. She guessed that he didn't get enough rest. Rhodiola rosea has the effect of relieving fatigue, so you can give it a try. Mu Yao told Master Li to rest, have a proper work and rest schedule, and not to overwork.

Tutor Li has been busy with the spring exams these days and is indeed very busy. After Mu Yao's reminder, he decided to delegate some of his authority.

Xu Shangshu's leg was much easier to treat. After one acupuncture treatment by Mu Yao, Xu Shida obviously felt that his right leg was much stronger. When he was young, he fell into the water in the cold winter and suffered from gout. He always felt pain on cloudy days. Mu Yao told Xu Shangshu that her acupuncture technique was a unique skill she had learned. Three more treatments would cure him. Xu Shangshu was so excited that he almost cried for joy. This old gout problem tormented him for decades. Every time it attacked, he felt like he was living a year. Finally, he had the opportunity to get rid of it completely.

Mu Yao has been busy since she got the "Water and Clouds". She is deeply moved by Xu Ruchen and Xu Qingcheng's help in every detail. The loneliness she felt when she first entered Yunqi is slowly fading.

Xu Qingcheng has found some clues about the "Red Flower Fruit" and "Iron Heart Orchid" that Wang Hao had been looking for these days. One is hidden in the Fuguang Pavilion, and the other is in the hands of Han Qi, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.

Xu Qingcheng didn't want Mu Yao to have too much contact with Zhao Huaian, so she went to Fuguang Pavilion to ask.

The new shopkeeper of Fuguang Pavilion is Wang Su, a prestigious pharmacist. When he heard Mr. Xu San was asking about the "safflower fruit", he looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. Xu, to be honest, we have this herb here, but it is in the hands of our eldest master. As everyone knows, our eldest master holds the best treasures in the pavilion. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Xu Qingcheng frowned slightly, as if considering what to do next.

Zhao Huaian saw Xu Qingcheng from a distance upstairs, and before she got close, he said loudly: "What a rare guest, Mr. Xu San, why are you here?"

Xu Qingcheng looked back, speechless. The more she didn't want to run into someone, the more likely she would run into him/her.

Zhao Huaian's cousin, the Fourth Prince Ye Yuheng, and his cousin, the Crown Prince Ye Qinghan, are sworn enemies. His mother told him that Imperial Concubine He has been trying day and night to put pressure on the Emperor to restore the Fourth Prince's title. Zhao Huaian has had little contact with them, but it is clear that they are in different camps.

"Brother Huai'an," Xu Qingcheng said politely.

"Mr. Xu San, are you here to buy medicine for Mr. Xu Er? What do you want? I can recommend something to you," Zhao Huaian asked enthusiastically.

He was a businessman, and he was so happy that the God of Wealth came to his door. Everyone in Shangjing knew that the Xu family spent a lot of money to treat Xu Licheng's leg disease. In the past, Fuguang Pavilion made a lot of money from the Xu family. But Xu Ruchen usually came more often, so why did Xu Qingcheng come today? This flower of Gaoling is very proud. It is said that she has not returned to Shangjing for more than a year. He didn't come back even though he was just a few streets away. He was hard-hearted, had a bad temper, and was a rebel. Yet there were so many noble ladies who were obsessed with him. What a vision!

Xu Qingcheng thought Zhao Huaian's smile was really ugly. His great grandfather was a thousand-year-old fox, and he was a little fox. He was fooled by him without being careful. His eldest brother was fooled by Zhao Huaian and bought a bunch of useless expensive medicinal materials, and half of them are still lying in the warehouse. His parents can only ask the kitchen to boil them as tonic from time to time.

"I want to buy a safflower fruit plant." Xu Qingcheng said simply.

Zhao Huaian was stunned. Safflower fruit? This is a miraculous medicine for cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons. Could it be that someone wants to set Xu Licheng's bones? The safflower fruit is in the hands of the eldest grandfather. This business is not easy to do.

Seeing Zhao Huaian's embarrassment, Xu Qingcheng's eyes dimmed a little.

"How about this." Zhao Huaian turned and looked at Xu Qingcheng with a smile on his face, grinning and blinking his eyes.

Xu Qingcheng became extremely alert when he looked at her. She didn't know what this little fox was up to.

"Brother Huaian, please feel free to speak." Xu Qingcheng listened to his conditions first.

"I missed out on The Goddess of Luo River at the Treasure Hunting Club last time, and I still feel sad about it. I don't know who has it now. Mr. Xu San is familiar with Mr. Wu Liu. If I can get him to paint another picture of the beauty for me, I will give you the safflower fruit. How do you think?"

Xu Qingcheng sneered in her heart, how is it? Not so good! A Yao's writing is worth hundreds of millions, and he wants to exchange it for a safflower fruit. Is it because he dreamed of marrying a bride in the middle of the night, thinking too beautifully?

He said calmly, "Mr. Wu Liu's masterpiece is worth a fortune. Brother Huai'an may think too highly of me. Mr. Xu is currently conceiving a new work, which will be published in half a year. I'm sorry to bother you."

Zhao Huaian held up his folding fan and patted it gently in his hand. Xu Qingcheng was not in a hurry either, she took a sip of fragrant tea and waited quietly. When it comes to business, as long as both parties are sincere, there is always a way.

Zhao Huaian once sent people to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of "The Goddess of Luo River", but there was no news, as if it had never appeared in this world. His power was deeply rooted in Shangjing, and he thought that the buyer of "The Goddess of Luo River" was no less powerful, so he gradually gave up the idea of ​​​​probing. The relationship between his family and the Xu family was delicate, and it was not easy to get information about Mr. Wu Liu from Xu Qingcheng, and he was even more afraid to get it from Master Li. In the Imperial Academy, several princes were scolded by him, not to mention that he was just a small relative. This time Xu Qingcheng came to him in person, and God helped him.

Xu Qingcheng was right. Mr. Wu Liu's writings were priceless, and it was shameless of him to exchange them for a safflower fruit.

He put away his folding fan and looked at Xu Qingcheng, with a probing look in his eyes. He said seriously, "Huai An is a little abrupt. What do you think, Brother Xu?"

Xu Qingcheng was waiting for Zhao Huaian to say this, so that they could discuss business. She said sincerely, "Brother Huaian loves painting, and his words are sincere. I can't bear it, why don't I go back and ask Mr. Zhao for his opinion first?"

Zhao Huaian's eyes lit up when he heard this. If he could get a piece of calligraphy by Mr. Wu Liu, I believe the old man would not refuse, it would be a win for him anyway. Xu Qingcheng's favorability in his heart suddenly rose by three feet.

After leaving the Fuguang Pavilion, Xu Qingcheng immediately went to the Treasure Pavilion. Compared with Zhao Huaian, Han Qi was not so easy to negotiate with. Xu Qingcheng stroked the crescent jade around her waist and quickly sorted out her thoughts.

Han Qi, since he got the "Lotus Goddess", he has been studying it every day, and gradually became obsessed with it. As the saying goes, if you think about something during the day, you will think about it at night. He dreamed of the beauty in the painting every night, tossing and turning, and had no appetite and restless sleep for several days. His expression was like duckweed swaying in the wind and rain. He has always been calm and not interested in women. How could he fall in love with a painting when he was over 30 years old and alone?

He once asked Xu Qingcheng about the person in the painting, but Xu Qingcheng told him that the "beauty" was a fiction created by Mr. Wu Liu and had no real prototype, which wiped out his last glimmer of hope. Indeed, if such a beautiful woman really existed, how could she be so unknown?

Han Qi was surprised to see Xu Qingcheng coming to find him. If he remembered correctly, Mr. Wu Liu's next painting would be published in half a year.

Xu Qingcheng informed Han Qi of his purpose. "Iron Heart Orchid" was one of the items to be auctioned at the "Treasure Hunting Club" next month at the Treasure Pavilion. This herb was his private treasure. In order to maintain the reputation of the "Treasure Hunting Club", he would take out one or two treasures from the treasure house every time to support the event.

Xu Qingcheng asked Han Pavilion Master for medicine for Mr. Wu Liu, which was needed for coloring paintings. He knew that most of A Yao's base colors were specially made by him, and "Iron Heart Orchid" was not only a medicinal ingredient, but also could be used to enhance the color, but it was very precious, and few people would do so.

Han Qi had no doubt that he was very familiar with the colors used by Mr. Wu Liu, and since he was worth hundreds of millions, it was reasonable for him to use a "Tie Xin Lan". Thinking of the brush and inkstone that Mr. Wu Liu had given him before, Han Qi readily gave the "Tie Xin Lan" to Xu Qingcheng on the spot.

The trip to the Treasure Pavilion went surprisingly smoothly. Xu Qingcheng smiled slightly. Now all she had to do was wait for the safflower fruit to be in her bag.

After he returned, he briefly explained to Mu Yao how he had sought medicine. Mu Yao's heart seemed to be moistened at this moment. Brother Xu was always so thoughtful and always took her into consideration. Brother Xu arranged Yun Su and Yun Zhou in Wutai County properly, and arranged for the two brothers to be apprentices in the largest restaurant there, "Zuiwanglou". Yun Su and Yun Zhou always kept in mind that Master Mu would open a restaurant in Wutai County, and they did not dare to slack off. They worked hard to hone their cooking skills every day.

Mu Yao thought about Zhao Huaian's request for a while and decided to draw a self-portrait for him. Zhao Huaian is a very interesting person, and his facial expressions are vivid and rich, which left a deep impression on Mu Yao.

As for Pavilion Master Han, Mu Yao did not expect him to be so generous and magnanimous. He must be a gentleman with an open mind and an upright character. After hearing Brother Xu mention that Pavilion Master Han looked unwell, Mu Yao asked Xu Qingcheng to bring him a Qi Gathering Pill.

The Qi Gathering Pill is a self-made Qi-replenishing and beauty-enhancing pill made by Mu Yao. One pill can replenish one's energy and vitality for half a year, and has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating for five years. This pill should not be taken too much, one pill for half a year is enough. She made a bottle of eight pills, which cost 800,000 taels of medicinal materials. She gave one pill each to Li Taifu and Xu Shangshu, and two pills to the eldest princess and Xu Chengxiang. There were five pills left for Xu Qingcheng, but seeing that her elder brother looked good, there was no need to take any tonic for the time being.

When Zhao Huaian got his self-portrait sketch, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time. What kind of technique is this? How can these lines depict him so realistically? He seems to have walked out of the painting. The hair treatment seems messy but there is an order. How can the color tone be handled so well with only black and white? What's more rare is that Mr. Wu Liu attached a blessing next to his signature: "May the gentleman live for ten thousand years, and may he be blessed with good fortune and luck." The handwriting is good, and the blessing is even better! He likes it and understands it! Zhao Huaian's face bloomed with a strange brilliance, and his eyes were full of joy.

When Xu Qingcheng saw this work, he was also very jealous and rubbed it for a long time. Seeing that he liked it, Mu Yao agreed to draw a sketch of his self-portrait for him, and he felt relieved.

Zhao Huaian was so excited that he thanked Xu Qingcheng again and again. His favorability towards Xu Qingcheng had increased by several feet, and Mr. Wu Liu had become a god in his mind. Mr. Wu Liu would produce another masterpiece in half a year, and he had made up his mind that he would film it back no matter what. If anyone dared to snatch it from him, he would throw money at him to death.

He asked Xu Qingcheng to wait for a moment, and returned home quickly, quietly opening the eldest grandfather's private vault. His great-grandmother had married four husbands, and he was the eldest grandfather's great-grandson, and was spoiled by the eldest grandfather. Even his deceased great-grandmother and his father had never touched the key to the private vault, and it was only given to him. His eldest grandfather said that the treasures in it would be his from now on, and Fuguang Pavilion would only be passed down to the legitimate heir. His parents only had him as a son, so he would be his in the future. It wouldn't be too much to use it in advance, right? Steward Wang looked at Zhao Huaian and took away the "safflower fruit" with despair. I hope the eldest grandfather doesn't think of checking the vault on a whim.

Xu Qingcheng was in a good mood after getting the safflower fruit. She didn't expect Zhao Huaian to be so helpful. If they were not in different camps, they could have made friends.

Han Qi was very surprised to get the Qi Gathering Pill. Xu Qingcheng told him that this medicine was a return gift from Mr. Wu Liu and that it had miraculous effects after taking it.

Mr. Wu Liu's medicines were all top-notch, and Han Qi had no doubts. He slept very soundly that night after taking them, and felt refreshed and clear-headed the next day. He had been practicing martial arts for many years, and had suffered a lot of internal injuries from years of fighting. He unexpectedly found that his internal strength had improved by 70% or 80%. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his face, which was nearly 30 years old, looked a lot younger. Han Qi was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. It seemed that he owed Mr. Wu Liu a favor again.

Mu Yao soon developed the antidote for "Qianji Powder", and Xu Qingcheng sent Wang Hao to Wutai County to deliver the medicine. Yun Su felt warm in his heart after receiving the medicine, and he and Yun Zhou worked harder, hoping that Mu Yao would open a branch in Wutai County soon.

And under Mu Yao's reorganization, "Shuiyunjian" is scheduled to open on the fifth day of next month!

Mu Yao introduced a VIP card system, which allows customers to enjoy 20% off on all items except drinks. Xu Qingcheng distributed VIP cards to her parents, eldest brother, second brother, Li Taifu, and Xu Shangshu according to the list Mu Yao gave her. Han Qi from Zhenbao Pavilion and Zhao Huaian from Fuguang Pavilion were also on the list. They were a little surprised when they received it. Xu Qingcheng told them that the owner of "Shuiyunjian" had changed, and Mr. Wu Liu also participated in the investment, which was considered half of the owner. The two promised on the spot that they would go to the opening day to show their support.

Li Taifu, Xu Shangshu, and Xu Chengxiang were also very supportive, and invited their good colleagues in the court to go and show their support. Li Taifu was very prestigious in the calligraphy and painting circles, and after his promotion, many people responded. The princess also invited the ladies of the high-ranking mansions in Shangjing to taste it. The reorganization and reopening of "Shuiyunjian" became a hot topic in Shangjing without people noticing. Seeing so many high-ranking and powerful people in Shangjing go to show their support, everyone spontaneously went in groups to book a private room.

Mu Yao didn't expect that the seats in the restaurant would be fully booked before the restaurant opened. She was both happy and worried. She quickly ordered Manager Sun to suspend reservations and asked Manager Wu to double the purchase of ingredients and recruit talents.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Mu Yao considered it again and again and decided to show up and officially participate in the hotel management. Just like Xu Qingcheng said, hiding is only temporary. If you want to gain a foothold in Yunqi, you must stand in the sun.
