Chapter 27 Delisting and Closure

Qin Meiniang said slowly:

"When I was a child, my mother told me, and she didn't say anything special about the pink plum blossoms on my arm! She only told me that because it snowed heavily when I was born, I was afraid that I would not be able to support myself, so she found someone to tattoo this pink plum blossom on my arm, implying that I could be as tough as a plum blossom, could resist wind and frost, and grew up safely. ”

Liu Feng pondered for a moment and said:

"Then according to your meaning, the pink plum blossom on your arm has no other meaning, it stands to reason that this queen mother is unlikely to decide to help you because she saw the pink plum blossom on your arm, maybe we really think too much, this queen mother is a living bodhisattva?"

Qin Meiniang nodded and said:

"Well, although I also doubt the queen mother's motives for being so good to me, I really can't think of other intentions for her to be so good to me, maybe it's true that we think too much."

……

The guards sent out by Wan Qing were never able to find Qin Meiniang after several days of searching in the city, which made Wan Qing very annoyed and unhappy.

He decided to personally take people to the city to search for Qin Meiniang's whereabouts, and became more and more unscrupulous.

Wan Qing decided to search from the large and small pharmacies in the city first, because he concluded that Qin Meiniang had been injured before, and there were rumors that the queen had taken her to a pharmacy in the city, so he believed that Qin Meiniang was still hiding in a pharmacy in the city.

Wan Qing took the guards and quickly conducted a carpet search of the large and small pharmacies in the city, and he personally led the team, so he searched very carefully in each pharmacy, and he really wanted to dig three feet into the ground to arrest Qin Meiniang.

The news that Wan Qing personally led people to search the large and small pharmacies in the city soon spread throughout Kyoto City.

In the pharmacy where Qin Meiniang was, many people also ran in to rush to the pharmacy Lang Zhong said:

"Shopkeeper, I heard that the prime minister's son Wan Qing personally led people to search the pharmacy in the city, it is said that he was arresting a girl who escaped from his house, and the pharmacy everywhere they went was overturned, making a lot of noise, you still close the door and take off the sign of the pharmacy outside, and avoid this while."

"Yes! The prime minister's son, Wan Qing, personally led the team to arrest people, which was not easy to provoke. ”

"Alas! I don't know what kind of servant girl she caught, but even Wan Qing personally brought someone out. ”

……

After a period of gossiping, Lang Zhong's heart in the pharmacy was also up and down, and it was extremely entangled.

"Boss, otherwise, let's close the door, take off the signboard of the pharmacy outside for a few days, and wait for Na Wanqing to lead people to search, and then we will re-hang the signboard of the pharmacy for business, what do you think?" Lang Zhong's wife said anxiously.

Lang Zhong of the pharmacy looked embarrassed, but he was helpless and entangled.

The neighbor on one side immediately said:

"Your wife is right, it's best to be able to hide now, otherwise, when Wan Qing comes to the pharmacy with the guards, it will make a mess of the pharmacy, and it will be a heavy loss, this time the search is much stricter than the last time, and the shopkeeper of some pharmacy does not cooperate, so he will directly arrest and put people in prison, so it's better to be careful!"

"That's it, it's better to be careful, doesn't this saying that if you can't provoke it, you can't hide?"

……

Lang Zhong of the pharmacy was said by these people, and immediately sighed:

"It seems that there is really no other feasible way, so let's do this, immediately take off the signboard of the pharmacy, close the store for a few days, and wait for a while before reopening."

Lang Zhong's wife said seriously:

"Okay, then, then I'll go find someone to help take off the signboard of our pharmacy and carry it into the house to put it away, and from now on, our pharmacy will be closed and closed, and it will reopen in a few days."

Immediately, Lang Zhong's wife brought a few neighbors from the neighborhood to help take down the signboard of the pharmacy and carry it into the pharmacy.

After Lieutenant General Lang of the pharmacy sent away all the people who came in to see the sick, he immediately closed the door outside, even if it was closed.

Lang Zhong's wife said to him Lang Jun:

"Master, how bad do you say this Wan Qing is! Before, he sent someone to search the large and small pharmacies in the city, and now he doesn't give up, and he actually personally brings people out to search the pharmacies again, his brain is squeezed by the door No, isn't he sincere to get along with us who open pharmacies? ”

Lang Zhong of the pharmacy said with a tangled face:

"You keep quiet, I'm afraid that people outside won't hear it, there are some things that we ordinary people can't know and resist, what we can do is to cooperate, otherwise, we can only wait to squat in prison and be whipped."

Lang Zhong's wife then said:

"You say, Wan Qing shouldn't know that we're a pharmacy here, right? I'm still a little worried, in case this Wan Qing finds out that we took off the signboard and hid it in the house, if he finds out, then we will definitely be in big trouble, oops, why didn't I think it through when I was in a hurry. ”

Lang Zhong of the pharmacy sighed and said:

"Okay, take off the signboard of the pharmacy and hide it in the house, close the door and close the business, how can Wan Qing know that we are a pharmacy here, it will be fine, you don't have to be afraid, if some things really happen, you can't hide from it, I hope this time, we can avoid this catastrophe, after all, there are still two days to go, this Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng are leaving, I really hope there won't be any chaos."

Lang Zhong's wife immediately folded her hands and made a look of prayer, and muttered from time to time, "Please bless the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, and bless our pharmacy to avoid this crisis, just two days, and after they are sent away by the queen mother, everything will be fine." ”

Lang Zhong of the pharmacy said seriously:

"Is there any point in praying to God and Buddha at this time? If you really have this kind of kung fu, it is better to think more about how we can hide Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng if Wan Qingzhen finds out that we are originally a medicine shop and brings someone to break in and search. ”

Lang Zhong's wife raised her voice and said:

"They can't find the hiding place," and whispered: "It's absolutely safe for them to hide in the cellar, and the cellar behind the house is unknown to no one other than the two of us, besides, they searched inside the pharmacy, not outside the house." “

Lang Zhong from the pharmacy sighed, and then went back to his room to rest.

Lang Zhong's wife walked behind the door, looked through the crack in the door, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she turned around and went back to the house.

The sky grew darker, and the day went by again.

Lang Zhong's wife walked to Qin Meiniang's room with an oil lamp in her hand.

"Mei Niang, Liu Feng, don't go out in the past two days, our pharmacy is also closed, in order not to be harassed and searched by Wan Qing and others, I and the head of the family decided to take down the signboard of our pharmacy, just two days later, after the two of you were taken away by the queen, we will reopen for business." Lang Zhong's wife put down the oil lamp in her hand and said on the wooden table in the room.
