novelA Little White and Golden Hair Searching for the Main Record
| ← Ch.176 | Ch.178 → |
The two newly bought shops were on the same busy street. One was on the opposite side of Pear Blossom Lane, while the other was not too far away. Standing in front of one of the shops, one could see the other shop. Qin Mian invited people to fix up two stores at the same time. The medicine shop was called "Ru Yi Grand Pharmacy" and the silver pavilion was called "Ming Zhu Pavilion".
About ten days later, the medicine store and the silver building opened on the same day. The layout of the medicine store was very simple. There was a counter and two doctors' seats at the entrance. Behind the counter, there were two medicine cabinets placed against the wall. There were over a hundred similar sized drawers with different herbs' names written on them. The medicine cabinet was tall, and when they grabbed some of the herbs, they even needed to use the word ladder. There were two experienced doctors in the medicine store, two waiters to catch the medicine, and a shopkeeper. The layout of the Silver Building was also characterized by simplicity and generosity. After entering, customers were able to see all kinds of jewelry behind the counter at a glance. As long as the customer could pay an expensive price, the master of the design could also design a unique piece of jewelry for the customer according to the customer's request. It was unique not only in the entire capital, but also in the entire Grand Xia Country.
Lei Tia's identity was special after all, the two stores were quietly opening and only had firecrackers on display. Even so, there were still many people who came to deliver the congratulatory gift. Even the Emperor, Empress and Empress Mother sent gifts. Qin Mian ordered everyone to record down the names on the wedding list. Other than the ones given by the emperor, empress and empress dowager, the expensive gifts were all sent back so that no one else would know about them.
The Ruyi Great Pharmacy opened at dawn and closed at noon; the Pearl Pavilion opened at 8am and closed at 10pm. Both stores had their first holiday, which was the last three days of every two months. The meticulous customers discovered that the two stores' holidays were the same as the one at the East Sun Academy.
After opening for half a month, the Silver Building's business was quite good due to the novelty and uniqueness of the jewelry design. It was unknown if it was because the publicity was not strong enough, but the customers that came in were mostly here to pick up medicine rather than to see a doctor. The two doctors were bored to death and could only hold onto their medical books everyday. The owner of the pharmacy could not hold his breath, and sensing that the situation was bad, he quickly reported this to Qin Mian.
Qin Mian was very calm. It was enough to inform the shopkeeper that he had done his duty. Regardless of whether the business in the shop was good or bad, it would not affect his wages. Since even the owner wasn't worried, the manager could only give up.
The store's business was not good, so how could Qin Mian not care? He was only waiting for an opportunity, a chance to amaze the world with one brilliant move. The development of a medicine store was different from that of other shops. It was not enough just based on words alone.
After the two shops operated normally, Qin Mian focused most of his energy on modifying the National Duke's Mansion. After staying in the Leisurely Dwelling House for so long, the family of four had high requirements for the living environment. There were many places on the National Duke's Mansion that they were not used to, so Qin Mian spent a total of two days to draw up a blueprint.
When Lei Tia returned from the army camp, he also rolled up his sleeves and used a shovel to help Qin Mian.
The new servants in the house were secretly amazed, but they knew that the two masters did not like their gossip, so they wisely remained silent.
"Tia, Ruiqi and Ruilin will be taking a vacation tomorrow. In the afternoon, we will go to the East Sun Academy to pick them up." Qin Mian supported the tree that was placed into the tree pit.
Lei Tia filled the hole, "Okay."
Afraid that Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were hungry, in the afternoon, Qin Mian decided to make some small snacks.
At this moment, on the official road that was about a mile away from the southern city gate, a black silhouette and a golden silhouette ran side by side towards the capital city. The black silhouette was as fast as lightning and the golden silhouette was as smooth as a shooting star. When the pedestrians on the public road saw what it was, their faces became ashen with fright. They hastily moved to the sides and fell to the ground on their knees. Their mouths were wide open as they blankly watched the two terrifying animals sprinting towards the south gate.
These two shadows were indeed a dot of white and golden fur.
To them, their four masters had been gone for too long. The two of them had made up their minds to travel thousands of miles to search for their masters. To humans, they were too threatening. Along the way, they were surrounded and attacked many times. Even though both of them were quite capable, they still suffered a lot. A spot of white was covered in black hair, which was dirty and had several knots in it. The golden fur was not inferior to the blonde hair, and the dazzling golden fur was covered with dried mud. Fortunately, neither of them was injured.
It was fortunate that they had brought the road, both of which were intelligent, all the way from the Qingshan Village to the capital. They did not take the wrong path, and after half a month of rushing, they finally arrived at the city smoothly.
Upon seeing the familiar southern city gate, the Golden Hair of the Bai Dynasty let out an "Ao Wu" sound and the two of them increased their speed at the same time.
Knowing that the city guards were a threat, the two of them flew past the city like a gust of wind. The city guards only saw two shadows flash past. They looked carefully and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Yuan Anshi's luck was bad, and he was still a Fifth Rank official. Recently, he had been hesitating whether he should go and get closer to National Duke. In the end, Lei Tia was still a junior to him, so he could not care less about face, which was why he had always been indecisive. Just as he was walking around the study room with a frown, he suddenly heard a ruckus outside. His face sank as he shouted, "What is going on outside? How is it proper to make a ruckus! "
A attendant stumbled in, his face pale, "Old, Old Master?? Wolves, Wolves... And, there's another bear! "
"What?" Yuan Anshi did not understand and reprimanded, "Speak properly!"
attendant gasped for breath in rapid succession and finally calmed down, his words becoming more tactful, "Master, there is a terrifying wolf and a bear at the entrance!"
"What?" Yuan Anshi frowned, "Could he have escaped from someone's house?? "I've never heard of anyone raising a wolf in the capital??" Speaking to this point, an idea flashed through his mind. He remembered that he had raised a wolf in his Lei Tia Family, and furthermore, no one had heard of him bringing his wolf here this time.
"Hurry, bring me to it!"
attendant was shocked: Is Master going to die?
"Hurry up and lead the way!" Yuan Anshi shouted anxiously.
"Yes, yes!"
The attendant ran forward quickly.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the main entrance. A wolf and a bear were squatting quietly, facing the entrance of the Yuan Mansion. The eight servants of the Yuan Mansion held wooden sticks in their hands, aiming them at the wolf and bear. However, they didn't dare to approach them. They could only tremble in fear, fearing that they would be torn to shreds if they were careless.
When Yuan Anshi saw the spot of white between the brows of the wolf, he immediately understood what was going on. Seeing that the wolf and bear were all well-behaved, he probingly walked forward a few steps and said the name of Qin Mian's family."Did you guys come to the capital to find Qin Mian and his family, and?? "Yuan Yuan and full?"
Seeing that his white ears were slightly moved, his head lowered, almost nodding, Yuan Anshi immediately said: "I will bring you guys to find them."
Little White stood up, took a step forward, and turned around to look at Yuan Anshi, as if gesturing for him to lead the way. Blondie also stood up, looking very silly.
Yuan Anshi boldly walked over, and sneaked a peek at the white and golden bear on the corner of his eyes. He didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them, and even more so, relaxed and led the way.
At this time, Qin Mian and Lei Tia were on their way to the East Sun Academy on horseback.
When the two of them arrived at the East Sun Academy, they were not surprised to see several rows of carriages parked in front of the academy. There were also many adults waiting for them, all to pick up their children from school.
Qin Mian dismounted from his horse and sca ed his surroundings. Unexpectedly, he found Chen Mufeng standing next to a horse carriage, waving a fan while staring at the entrance of the academy. It was obvious that he was waiting for someone. He quickly poked Lei Tia's back and nudged his chin, indicating that he should quickly take a look.
A smile flashed past Lei Tia's eyes as he followed Su Yun's gaze.
Chen Mufeng didn't even notice that someone was looking at him, he only focused on staring at the person in front of him.
"Could it be that his other half is still studying?" Qin Mian was extremely curious.
Lei Tia said: "Maybe."
At this moment, the bell ringing for the students of the East Sun Academy rang. After a while, the students of the academy rushed to the gate from different directions.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not pay any more attention to Chen Mufeng as they stared at the approaching crowd.
After a while, Qin Mian saw Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin carrying their small backpack and walking out. Qin Ruiqi remained silent, with the demeanor of an elder brother. From time to time, he would extend his arm to block the crowd, to prevent Lei Ruilin from getting hit. Lei Ruilin was also very considerate towards his brother. He pulled his brother to the side to give way, allowing the others to go first.
Qin Mian saw it clearly and was very pleased. Until his two sons approached him, he shouted loudly, "Ruiqi, Ruilin."
It was only then that Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin saw them, and their faces revealed a look of pleasant surprise, as they quickly ran over. This was the first time their fathers had personally come to pick them up from school. The two kids were overjoyed.
"Daddy, daddy!"
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were the only twins in the academy, and the only students who had two fathers but had no mother. They were already famous celebrities in the academy, and when they heard them calling "Father" and "Father", the surrounding students immediately looked outside. Their gazes landed on Qin Mian and Lei Tia, and when they saw their demeanor and temperament, they could not say anything unpleasant and even took the initiative to give way for Qin Ruiqi and his father.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin quickly expressed their gratitude by cupping their hands in respect. They ran to Qin Mian and Lei Tia and gri ed at the same time, "Father, father!"
"Yes." Qin Mian rubbed his two sons' heads, and then pointed behind them, smiling and asking: "They are your friends?"
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin turned around and saw a few students standing behind him.
"Qin Ruiqi, Lei Ruilin, are these two your fathers?" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager curiously sized up Qin Mian and Lei Tia. As he spoke, he politely saluted towards them.
