Down to Business (V)

Si Wu Street

Along the streets of Si Wu streets, the commoners and different types of people were roaming around the marketplace of Xin Li.

Among them, a young master in a dark teal robe was walking carefreely on the streets of Si Wu. Although he was simply minding his own business and taking a stroll, many eyes were on the young master who seemed to be new to this place.

The young master had a fan in his hand, but instead of using it as a fan, the young master was swinging it in his hand effortlessly, yet there was a hidden nobleness to it. Moreover, the young master looked as if he was rather enjoying his time walking around and whenever he smiled his freckles would cutely be scrunched around his face.

Some had never seen anyone with that many freckles on their face before and were looking with puzzled looks on their face. On the other hand, a few ladies flushed when the flower boy that was walking alone was brightly lighting up Si Wu street.

Some of the young ladies turned to gossip with a few of their friends as they saw the young master who seemed to have come from a rich family. All wondered whether not this young master was still single…

One lady, on the other hand, seemed to have taken things upon her own hands and courageously walked up towards the young master in the dark teal robes.

"Young master, are you here alone?" The young lady's sweet voice rang into the young master's ears.

The young master came to a halt. Nevertheless, the smile on his face did not disappear and slowly, he turned to the young lady who was now beside him.

To his surprise, the young lady with sharp looks; her brows were sharply drawn and her lips were red. The young lady was also dressed in a dark red dress. However, the confidence of the young lady was excluding endlessly towards the young master to see.

"Oh?" With one flick, the young master finally drew his fan out, "Young lady, you are talking to this young master?" The young master spoke with a smile, but his words, it was as if he did not pay any attention to her.

The young master's answer made the young lady's face grow ugly.

Meanwhile, the young master's everlasting smile was still kept on his cute yet handsome face.

Before the young lady in the dark red dress could speak again, all of a sudden, a figure in black with a big wide hat appeared from nowhere behind the young master attracting a few more attention from before.

Not only did the figure in black robes stand intimidatingly behind the young master, but he had also raised his hand up to guard the young master, "Please leave my young master alone." Which in turn, attracted many eyes around them.

Having lost face and was rejected, the young lady made her way off, "Hmph!"

On the other hand, the young master watched as the young lady slowly walked into the crowd and was no longer in his sight before turning around and heading to his original place.

The figure in black held his hat low and followed the aloof young master in front of him.

"Lan Jie." A faint voice came from the person behind.

"Shh, we don't want anyone to hear you call me that. Hm, from now on...call me young master Hong." Hui Lan spoke while keeping her young master manner on.

"Young master Hong," Su Jou was indeed a good follower as he immediately changed according to Hui Lan, "Su Rong jie is looking for you."

Hui Lan looked ahead like she was focusing on one shop while speaking, "Oh? Has she said anything else?"

"No."

"Then, that is good. We'll head to Physician Jin's medicine house first, since you are here, then accompany me to deal with him."

Su Jou cupped his hand and followed behind Hui Lan silently.

Both walked along the street and slowly blended among the people in the busy street.

Soon, the pair young master and follower arrived at a small wooden place that had a sign which read 'Medicine House'.

Hui Lan took a brief moment to look up and at the nameplate of the place.

...Such firm yet soft strokes...looking like the owner of this place.

The young master closed his face and held his hand behind his back as he walked inside the medicine house.

Upon arriving, someone was sitting on a simple table with white robes while reading a book. There was no one but this person in the entire place. However, his demeanour was excluding one of a kind even when he was simply just reading his book.

Hearing a few footsteps walking towards him, the owner of the only medicine house on the street slowly looked up from his book.

Slowly, the newcomer and the owner of the place met eyes with each other.

While the young master in the teal robes revealed a wide smile, the other person slowly looked away coldly.

Nevertheless, it did not affect the newcomer in any way except for making the newcomer smile even more.

"Aiya, if the physician does not recognise this young master then, I would definitely be sad." The young master in the teal robes spoke with a face full of smiles.

"I do not know you." The owner of the medicine house simply spoke.

On the other hand, the young master could only nod, "Fine fine, then should announce to the world…"

"Why is Niang Niang here?" In the end, the physician could only give in.

The young master revealed a smile revealing her beautiful teeth, "Oh forget the rules, shall we? I am just Feng Hui Lan and you are just Shen Fu Jin." Hui Lan suggested they treat each other as equals.

Meanwhile, Physician Jin indifferently nodded.

Hui Lan made her way and sat on the chair in front of the Physician who was still reading the book in his hands.

...Sigh, when would Su Rong come ah...this prince would not budge any bit, tch.

However, as if someone had heard her silent wishes, a figure appeared from the windows. It was none other than the one and only person Hui Lan had been wishing for, Su Rong.

"Hui Lan, you and me, we need to have a word with each other after this." Su Rong did not even care to look at anyone else but the person who made her worry since early morning.

Nevertheless, Hui Lan smiled drily...maybe it wasn't a good idea...sigh, she would have to do this alone for now.

Su Rong went and stood beside the entrance door. The young lady leaned her back on the wall and crossed her arms. She looked as if she was a door guard.

Hui Lan slowly looked up and could see Physician Jin also looking up but had already adverted his eyes.

...Sigh, there, there…those eyes never lie...he was just putting up airs on her because of yesterday, tch tch.

Nevertheless, Hui Lan leaned her back into the chair before getting serious, "Physician Jin, this young master has an offer for you...would you care to listen to it?"

However, the Physician was still quiet.

Hui Lan clasped her hands together before officially inviting, "Physician Jin, tell me...what would you think if...I would like to work with you?"

There was a moment of silence in the medicine house between the four individuals in the room.

Royal Physician Jin got up from his chair and went to his bookshelves. He showed no such interest and was simply searching for a book. Nevertheless, he spoke while searching for it, "Hm, if that's what you want, fine."

Hui Lan too got up, "Then, that is good. I hope we can work together from now on…I will come here often." Hui Lan glanced at the Royal Physician Jin from the corner of her cat like eyes before she left with a small smile.

As Hui Lan made her way out, the two Su siblings both turned around and left with their young master.

Meanwhile, Physician Jin, who had been reading the book in his hand, slowly looked up from the book to the young master in the teal robes with an unfathomable look.

...What was she planning on doing?
