Her moist eyes were full of pleading. Seeing that he didn't nod, her slap-sized face turned pale involuntarily, and she was obviously frightened again. This appearance made it clear that she did not want the imperial physician to see her.

Pei Xing sneered and turned into the inner room. He had just returned from Beizhen Fusi, and he was still wearing the four-beast unicorn suit, which was personally bestowed by the saint. Wearing it on him made him more and more unfathomable.

Zhong Li hurriedly turned to Qin Xing and said, "Just ask Xia He to help me cook a bowl of ginger soup, it's hard work, sir."

Zhong Li hurriedly followed, "I'll serve the third uncle to undress."

Pei Xing ignored it, took off his robe and threw it on the hanger.

Zhong Li always felt that he seemed to be a little angry again, she was at a loss for a while, Pei Xing turned around and entered the bathroom, and Zhong Li didn't know whether to catch up.

She was a little afraid, afraid that he was really angry, and was a little uneasy, and stood there blankly for a while.

After a while, Qin Xing turned back again. He did not enter the inner room, but only said to Zhong Li: "This is the master's new clothes, Miss Zhong can help the master get it in."

Zhong Li hurriedly snorted and walked in with his clothes in his arms. Only then did he find that his bathroom was unique. Inside was a pool made of white marble, and the pool was constantly filled with hot water.

He had already taken off his shirt, and was now leaning against the wall of the pool, sitting with his back to Zhong Li. When he caught sight of his naked shoulders out of the corner of the eye, Zhong Li's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyelashes.

She put down her clothes and wanted to leave. Before leaving, she asked politely, "Third Uncle, do you need Ali to wipe your back?"

Seeing that she hadn't left yet, Pei Xing opened his eyes displeasedly, and said coldly, "If I sleep with you now, would you be willing?"

Zhong Li's head was stunned for a moment, her heart beating like a drum for a moment, because of dizziness, her thoughts slowed down a lot, and she didn't understand what he meant.

He almost angered him yesterday, but today...

Zhong Li's fingertips trembled slightly, but she didn't speak.

Pei Xing turned around and gave her a cold look, the girl's cheeks were flushed, and when she noticed his displeased gaze, she covered her panic and nodded lightly.

Seeing her cautious and compromising appearance, Pei Xing was so angry that he was so impatient in her eyes? Sick and need her to serve?

He gave an expulsion order with a cold face, "Go away, I'm not interested in patients."

Zhong Li's heart tightened a little uncontrollably.

Outside, at some point, the snow has stopped. The snow is not big, because it is mixed with rain, and it melts when it hits the ground. Only the air is a little damp.

When she returned to the Star Picking Pavilion, Zhong Li was still a little confused, Xia He supported her against the bed, and said, "When the girl was cold last time, there was still a pack of medicine left, the servant just went to fry it, you drank the medicine Go back to sleep so that you don't get burned in a while."

Zhong Li obediently finished drinking the medicine, and after she got into the bed, she endured tears for a long time before falling. Perhaps when she was sick, people were also a little fragile, and she felt embarrassed for some reason.

Such a weak self made her a little annoying, and she quietly wiped away her tears.

Zhong Li didn't know when she fell asleep. The next day, she was woken up by Qiuyue, "Master, drink the medicine. It's the recipe that Taiyi He personally prescribed to you, it will definitely work."

Only then did Zhong Li learn that when she was in a coma, the imperial physician took her pulse through the curtain.

She had been sick for several days. The old lady even sent Xiaomei over to see her, and specifically told her to take care of her illness. The maid next to the second wife also sent two boxes of supplements, and even Gu Zhiqing pretended to come here. Look at her.

By the time Zhong Li's illness was almost healed, it was already the twentieth day of the first lunar month. In the past few days when she was sick, she didn't have time to think about the store. The only thing to be happy about was that Pei Xing didn't interfere with Gu Lin's affairs.

On the 21st, Zhong Li went to Anyuan Street and personally inspected the shops on this street. Anyuan Street is one of the most prosperous streets in Beijing. There are jewelry shops and snack shops on the street. There are also many who sell rouge gouache, but none of them sell paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

After the inspection, Zhong Li felt that Shuxuan Pavilion could continue to operate, but the quality of Shuxuan Pavilion was of average quality, and its reputation had already been ruined. Zhong Li planned to name the Rouge Shop "Ink Pavilion". At that time, you can still sell some books or something. As long as you manage your business well, you won't have to worry about not making any money.

Zhong Li came to Shuxuan Pavilion again and inspected it carefully. The area of ​​Shuxuan Pavilion is actually not small. This shop is a small two-story attic with three houses in the backyard.

When Zhong Li was thinking about what to sell, he saw the people going in and out of the Liuxuan Pavilion next door, and they were actually moving things out.

Zhong Li asked Qingsong to inquire, only to find out that Liuxian Pavilion was going to close, the owner of the shop was going back to his hometown in Jiangnan, the shop could no longer operate, and he planned to rent it out.

Zhong Li looked at this shop, his eyes lit up slightly, if he could buy his shop and combine the two into one, he would be able to open an inn. It's also a completely unprofitable business.

Zhong Li suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked Qingsong to ask if the store was for sale, but the other party refused to sell it. The location is good. If the rental can continue to make money, the owner does not want to sell it.

Zhong Li asked Qingsong to run again, and asked to meet the owner. He was recently in Zhuangzi, and he would not be able to return to Beijing until the end of the month. In the end, the two made an appointment to meet at Tongji Teahouse on the morning of the second day of the second lunar month.

Zhong Li was really tired after running all morning. She bought some street food for Cheng'er and went back to the house. She bought a lot and distributed some to the maids.

After seeing it, Qiuyue smiled and said: "Master, do you want to send some to Youfengtang? The third master has asked the imperial doctor for you, and we haven't thanked you yet."

"No need."

How could he like this snack? What's more, Zhong Li didn't want to take the initiative to find him anymore, and being rejected again and again by him was really embarrassing.

On the appointed day, Zhong Li said to the second lady and left the house. When she went out, she put on a veil on purpose, and did not take off the veil until she entered the second-floor box.

The other party is a young man of twenty-eight or nine years old, with handsome and refined features, and a bit of a scholar's temperament.
