At that moment, Shao Qingyuan was talking to someone. Some people here had seen him and knew his name in the capital.
Although he did not have any status now, he seemed to have a very good relationship with Qin Wenzheng, so there were people who wanted to be on good terms with him.
As for those people who thought they had noble statuses, on account of Qin Wenzheng, they were all amiable to him.
Until Yi Zilan arrived.
Yi Zilan came last on purpose. When he came, there was an old man and a guard behind him. The guard was carrying a huge sack.
As soon as he walked in, he heard Shao Qingyuan’s voice. "I came to the capital this time because I want to open a herb shop. I’ve already bought the shop, and I plan to renovate it in a few days. By then..."
Before he could finish speaking, the person behind him interrupted him.
"Open a medicinal herb shop?? You really dare to say that." Yi Zilan sneered. "A country boy who accidentally came up with a way to prevent smallpox really thinks he’s an imperial physician with brilliant medical skills?"
Yi Zilan knew that Shao Qingyuan would appear in the Qin residence today. Ever since he found out that Mrs. Qin and Shao Qingyuan’s wife had opened a shop together, he knew that Qin Wenzheng and Shao Qingyuan’s relationship was definitely not simple.
Sure enough, he had gotten someone to investigate.
Shao Qingyuan and Qin Wenzheng really came from the same place. Moreover, he had investigated and found out that Shao Qingyuan planned to open a medicinal shop in the capital.
Therefore, today, he came to ruin his plan.
A country boy should be farming and digging at home. Wasn’t it a joke to open a shop in the capital? Did he really think that he was so capable?
As soon as Yi Zilan said this, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Yi Zilan, then at Shao Qingyuan.
The person who was talking to Shao Qingyuan couldn’t help but take a small step back.
Some people were watching the motion, some were indifferent, and some shook their heads helplessly.
However, no one said anything. Everyone wanted to see how Shao Qingyuan would face Yi Zilan’s difficulties. It was said that last time, the royal prince... lost?
However, at that time, Shao Qingyuan had just made a great contribution. The emperor was on his side, so it was only natural that the royal prince could not take advantage of him.
This time... that might not be the case.
Qin Wenzheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at Yi Zilan and then at Shao Qingyuan.
Shao Qingyuan shook his head, and Qin Wenzheng shrugged. Alright, he wouldn’t interfere.
Shao Qingyuan stood up and walked to Yi Zilan. He asked, "Your Highness, do you think I’m not qualified to open a pharmacy?"
"Yes, you’re not even a doctor. I heard that the first time you read a medical book was two years ago?"
Shao Qingyuan smiled. You even know this?
He nodded. "Yes, I’m indeed not a doctor. However, the medicinal herbs I know might not be fewer than what other doctors know."
"Is that so?" Yi Zilan smiled smugly. His expression said, "I was waiting for you to say that." The people around him began to look at Shao Qingyuan sympathetically.
As expected, Yi Zilan quickly said, "Since you’re so confident, why don’t we make a bet?"
"How do you want to bet?"
Yi Zilan laughed loudly. "I’ll give you the herbs. If you can recognize all of them and say their names and write down their features and effects, I’ll admit that you’re amazing and that you’re qualified to open a herb shop. I won’t call you a country bumpkin anymore. But if you can’t recognize any of them, you’re not allowed to open your herb shop. How about that?"
This requirement was a little harsh. He had to recognize all the medicinal herbs?
Qin Wenzheng frowned and opened his mouth.
