Becoming The Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed Chapter 77: Pearls And Gold Are As Common As Snow And Iron

Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Looking at them, Chuan Qiong couldn't help chuckling, “It's been a long time since the First Pharmacy had such a busy time. Things all come together…” Then he whispered to An Qingrong, “Grandma won't complain about having nothing to do today .”

Glancing at him, An Qingrong frowned, “Chuan qiong, watch your mouth.”

An Rushuang couldn't help but smile. Her elder brother was as gentle and polite as he was a year ago, though he was quite tough in the army.

Chuan Qiong glanced at him. Seeing that An Qingrong couldn't do anything to him, Chuan Qiong couldn't help laughing.

Chuan Qiong was handsome and he looked even more attractive with smiles. If n.o.ble ladies in the capital were here, they would probably all fall in love with him.

Standing beside, Zhao Xiaotao couldn't help blus.h.i.+ng. The girl in red also couldn't help staring at him.

Chuan Qiong was truly a girl-killer!

“Come on! All these things will give grandma a headache,” he said after laughing.

Saying so, Chuan Qiong wove his sleeves and kicked at the gate before he spoke to the public, “See you next time.”

Seeing this, the girl in red was so anxious that she quickly followed Chuan Qiong in her muddy gown after randomly tying her horse on an unknown column.

“Miss An, shall we go with them?” asked Xiaotao.

Nodding, An Rushuang also walked slowly into the Pharmacy, followed by An Qingrong who finally closed the gate.

On entering the First Pharmacy, Zhao Xiaotao couldn't help feeling shocked. She was poor. Even if she went here for free medicine, she was kept outside and she never got a chance to get inside to see the Pharmacy.

Seeing this yard, Zhao Xiaotao was so surprised that she whispered to An Rushuang, “Miss An, the Pharmacy is indeed…. indeed…”

Racking her brain, Xiaotao couldn't find a word to describe it.

Then An Rushuang chuckled and said, “Unusual.”

Clapping her hands, Zhao Xiaotao nodded, “Right! This is the first time I see a pharmacy like this!”

Even the girl in red couldn't help looking around to observe the unusual pharmacy.

The First Pharmacy was really not like a pharmacy. It looked more like a quadrangle where there were various kinds of medicines on different shelves. The yard, though s.p.a.cious, looked quite desolate.

Suddenly a lovely boy around five years old came out, wearing a light blue short gown. Looking confused, the little boy said, “Brother! Who are they?”

Saying so, he quickly ran to Chuan Qiong and held his hand. With his little head revealing from the back of Chuan Qiong's leg, the boy was full of vigilance.

Regardless of the little boy dragging his leg, Chuan Qiong walked forwards and said, “Obviously, they are here to make some trouble.”

Hearing this, the little boy was stiffened in shock.

Frowning, An Qingrong hugged the little boy, “Kong Qing, he is talking nonsense; don't listen to him. Where is grandma?”

The boy named Kong Qing still looked nervous. He pointed at a hut in the west with his little fingers, “Grandma is grinding herbs and medicines…”

Then he stared at the strangers vigilantly, which made him looked so innocent.

“Are they… really not bad people?”

Glaring at Chuan Qiong, An Qingrong touched the boy's head and nodded before he wove at the others, “Please come here.”

Saying so, he went to the room on the left.

Before entering the room, An Qingrong could hear the sound of someone grinding medicines. He opened the door and called loudly, “Grandma Gu!”

Against the sunlight, an elderly woman in grey gown was busy grinding herbs. With her head lowered, no one saw clearly her face. In such an oversized gown, her figure was not clearly revealed; but everyone could tell she was not plump. A strong smell of herb medicines came out.

“What happened? Close the door!” said the woman sullenly.

Chuan Qiong closed the door and then leaned against it smilingly, “Grandma, we've got big troubles today when we were delivering medicines. One girl came for help and the other for apprentices.h.i.+p. I cannot handle it, so I come to you.”

The girl in red suddenly knelt down and said, “Grandma, please save my sister. You once saved my mum's life and she said only physicians in the First Pharmacy could save my sister's life. Otherwise my sister will…”

Saying so, the girl began sobbing and shedding tears.

However, the elderly woman was still sitting on the bench, grinding herbs with her head lowered. She didn't even stop for a second, “Chuan Qiong, it has just been several years and you forgot my warnings!”

Her voice suddenly became sharp as if it was a knife, frightening the girl who was still sobbing. At a time the room was all her sharp voices before it all turned silent. Only breathing could be heard.

Zhao Xiaotao was even more frightened. She held An Rushuang's arms and stepped backwards without breathing. Her face instantly turned red.

Chuan Qiong, however, didn't fear at all. But he was not as cold as he was outside. Shrugging his shoulders, he smiled, “Grandma, I always bear your words in mind. It was Brother Gu who wants to play the hero and save the beauty. I don't know what to do.”

Putting down the little boy, An Qingrong said in a low voice, “It's all up to you, Grandma. But I'm afraid this issue is getting bigger and this might catch people's attention.”

Kong Qing quickly ran towards the woman and said in a lovely voice, “Grandma! Don't get angry…”

Hearing this, the woman stopped and looked at the little boy. But it was so dim and no one could see grandma's facial expression, but she seemed to have been calmed down.

Was she the master Bian Wen referred to?

But wasn't the owner of the First Pharmacy Luo Qu? How could she be Grandma Gu?

And even her elder brother changed his name. An Rushuang couldn't help feeling confused. What was her brother doing now?

The little boy suddenly said, “If grandma does not like them, I do not like them either. We can kick them out!”

The boy said in such a determined voice!

What a naughty yet lovely boy!

The girl instantly turned pale and cried, “Grandma! I am Meng Yun in the Meng Family of the Li City. As long as grandma can save my sister, we will give whatever we can afford to.”

Before the elderly woman replied, Chuan Qiong chuckled, “Oh! No wonder you have such a bad temper. You are the Emperor's Merchant. In your eyes, precious pearls and gold are as common as snow and iron.”

To her surprise, An Rushuang looked at the girl in front of her and suddenly get what Chuan Qiong said.

Emperor's Merchant---- the Meng Family.
