The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 107 A new branch has appeared~

Jiang Tunan left the post station and was just about to take this opportunity to go for a walk on the street and see what was going on at Mozhuxuan, but he didn't expect Xiao Mingli to chase him out.

"cousin!"

Jiang Tunan looked back in confusion, why was Xiao Mingli chasing him?

"Mingli cousin."

Jiang Tunan bowed politely, but Xiao Mingli waved his hand.

"Cousin, why do we have to go through all this empty formalities between you and me?"

Jiang Tunan quietly distanced himself from Xiao Mingli.

"I wonder what my cousin is doing?"

Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingxu are twin brothers. They look basically the same, but there are subtle differences if you look closely.

"Is my cousin doing well in the Imperial Medical Bureau?"

"everything is fine."

Xiao Mingli could feel that Jiang Tunan was very wary of him.

"Don't be nervous, cousin. I just want to say that if you encounter any difficulties, don't bear it alone. We cousins ​​can still help."

"Yeah, got it. Thank you, cousin Mingli. Goodbye, cousin Mingli~"

Jiang Tunan nodded quickly and agreed. After turning around, he was thinking, did Xiao Mingli take the wrong medicine today? Why did he suddenly come over to show his concern?

Is there no progress with the heroine recently? So he is trying to develop the favorability of the supporting role?

Jiang Tunan was too lazy to think so much. Anyway, she just had to remember to keep a distance from the male protagonist. Then the male protagonist would naturally have no time to take care of her.

Xiao Mingli stood behind Jiang Tunan, somewhat silent. For some reason, Jiang Tunan had been avoiding him during this period of time and was not willing to talk to him.

Did I do something to make her angry?

After reflecting on his recent behavior, Xiao Mingli felt that he must be too busy and had no time to pay attention to Jiang Tunan, which was why their relationship became distant.

His mother only gave birth to four sons and he had no sisters, so Xiao Mingli didn't know how to get along with his younger sister.

Xiao Mingli stood there and carefully recalled how Ji Yiheng and Ji Lingyue got along. It seemed that he had to spend some time to find Ji Yiheng and learn from him.

However, he did remember that Mingxu often gave Jiang Tunan some jewelry, and even Mingrui gave him a white jade bracelet. Moreover, he heard that Jiang Tunan treasured the bracelet so much that he was reluctant to wear it out.

"You stay here and wait for Lord Wen to come out. I have something to do and will be back soon."

Xiao Mingli gave a few instructions to his men and ran to a nearby jewelry shop.

On the other hand, after Jiang Tunan left the posthouse, he originally planned to go to Mozhuxuan, but when he walked to the street and asked, he found that if he wanted to walk there on his own, it would probably be dark when he got there.

Nominally, he was still "under punishment" in the Imperial Medical Bureau and could not stay outside for too long, so he had to go back to the Imperial Medical Bureau first.

"Hey, have you heard? The Nine Needles for Restoring Yang is back again."

"Really?! Didn't they say it was lost?"

Jiang Tunan paused and took a few steps back silently, wondering which branch line he had triggered.

"It must be God's blessing! The secret method of the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang should not be lost!"

At the tea stall, several residents from the surrounding area gathered together to chat. Jiang Tunan asked the stall owner for a small stool and quietly sat beside them.

"But didn't the Gao family die out? Could it be that there are still descendants of the Gao family living outside?"

Jiang Tunan took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly reached out to the table and grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

"Who knows? I also heard it from my husband's uncle's son-in-law's neighbor's friend. It is said that on that day... Hey, where did you come from, little girl? Why did you steal our melon seeds?"

Jiang Tunan's hand stopped in mid-air, looking a little awkward, because he was so engrossed in listening that he forgot to control the sound of cracking melon seeds, and was discovered immediately.

The first person to notice Jiang Tunan was the woman who was talking. She had a vegetable basket next to her left hand and was wearing ordinary clothes.

At this moment, there was some displeasure in her eyes, and she wondered in her heart which girl was so ignorant.

"S-sorry, I didn't mean it, sis."

Jiang Tunan put on a guilty look, and the woman was stunned.

"elder sister?"

Jiang Tunan pretended not to understand.

"Aren't you my sister? But I see you are about the same age as me."

The woman felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Jiang Tunan said, and she said in a slower tone,

"I'm going to be a grandmother soon. It's not appropriate for you to call me little sister."

The man next to him snorted disdainfully.

"This girl is trying to flatter you."

Jiang Tunan shook his head in panic.

"Sister, I'm speaking from the heart. I don't know why this uncle said that. Sister, you won't blame me, will you?"

The woman burst out laughing.

"How could I blame you? You are such a sweet girl. It's just some melon seeds and tea. Just eat it."

The man next to her looked speechless but was afraid of the woman and dared not speak. Jiang Tunan answered obediently,

"Thank you sister, sister is so kind."

So, Jiang Tunan successfully got to the table with her contrived acting skills.

"Sister, what are these nine reviving needles you are talking about?"

Jiang Tunan asked, and everyone had something to say.

"The Nine Needles to Restore Yang is the Gao family's secret method. It is said that it can bring the dead back to life. Even if you only have one breath left, we can save you."

"It's a pity that the last generation of the Gao family contracted a serious disease and died at a young age. With the death of the heir, the secret method was also lost. But fortunately, there has been news about this secret method recently."

"Thinking back to when Daxing and Dayin were at war, the Dayin people were despicable and used poison on us. At that time, many people relied on acupuncture from the Gao family to hold on to their last breaths, and only then did they receive the antidote from Doctor Wen."

Everyone talked one after another, and soon Jiang Tunan obtained a lot of information.

"I have a question."

Jiang Tunan raised his hand, looking eager to learn.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Tunan, who felt a little shy.

"Since the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang can bring the dead back to life, why did the last generation of descendants die of a serious illness?"

Everyone: (Silence)...

"This...I guess it's because the doctor doesn't treat himself."

Someone whispered, and the others immediately echoed,

"Yeah yeah.."

"..."

Jiang Tunan also laughed with everyone with an embarrassed look on his face.

“That makes sense, hahahaha.”

In the old house of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Yue was listening to the report from the servants. When he heard that the income of the poetry studio had been reduced by nearly half, Huangfu Yue frowned.

"What's going on? Hasn't Youshizhai's monthly profit always been stable? Why is it so much less this month?"

The general manager of Youshizhai also looked a little unhappy, and replied carefully,

"Recently, there is a study in Kyoto called Mozhuxuan. They used some strange promotional methods and snatched away many of our customers.

Moreover, they only sell a dozen chapters at a time, and they always stop writing when the book reaches the exciting part, which attracts many people to wait in Mozhuxuan every day to wait for the new book to be released. "

Huangfu Yue looked disdainful and glanced coldly at the person in front of him.

"They would seduce customers like this and wait for them every day, so why don't you learn from them?"

Huangfu Yue put down the account book in his hand and leaned back in his chair.

"I have a poetry studio with deep roots in Kyoto. Just because an unknown little studio has gained temporary fame through some sensational means, do you think it can take advantage of my Huangfu family?"

The person in charge was nervous and kept his head down, not daring to speak.

"It's just singing and telling stories. There are many great singers in my Changgefang."

"What do you mean, miss?"

A cold light flashed in Huangfu Yue's eyes, and he spoke slowly.

"You know what to do."
