Chapter 1904: Becoming Rich
However, Su Chen felt that Tang Peng's dismissal from the border guards was not necessarily a bad thing.
Because, in the eyes of ordinary people, the work of the border guards is too hard and tiring, and they may not be able to reunite with their families for several years if they stay at the border for a long time.
Of course, Su Chen can understand why Tang Peng wants to be a border knight, because the work in the capital is usually lower in salary than that of border knights, and in Tang Peng's case, he has a fiancée who is powerless at home, and a frail and sick brother who needs to take medicine every day, all of which he needs to support.
In fact, even as a border knight, Tang Peng's salary is basically used to support his family and buy medicine for his brother. He has not saved any wealth at all and has always been penniless. Not to mention that if he finds a job in the capital, the medicine cost is simply unaffordable and his income is insufficient to make ends meet.
And now, Tang Peng's brother's illness has been cured, and he does not have to bear the expensive medicine cost. In this way, he can find a relatively easy job in the capital and reunite with his family every day.
Su Chen could see that Tang Peng had no lofty ambitions that would shake the world. He was just a simple family-loving man. Being with his family was his greatest pursuit. Therefore, it was a good thing for Tang Peng that he was no longer in the border defense army.
Of course, from Su Chen's point of view, he still hoped that Tang Peng could find a good job in the capital, preferably with a higher income than being a border knight. Of course, it was very unlikely to find such a job in the capital, because Tang Peng's own strength was average, and there were many warriors like him in the capital, and he did not have any special advantages.
However, during the whole process of treating the disease, Su Chen did not notice that in the lobby of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion, there was an old man in a blue cloth robe who was thoughtfully observing this scene through the window, with a few gleams in his eyes.
"Brother Chen, then, thank you. If you don't mind, you must come to my house as a guest some other day."
Tang Peng stuttered to thank Su Chen. Until now, he still had a sense of unreality that a pie in the sky had fallen and hit him.
Tang Peng's fiancée was wiping her tears and crying with joy.
"You're welcome. It's a good thing that you've been cured. Go home quickly and celebrate with your family."
Su Chen patted Tang Peng on the shoulder.
Tang Peng thanked him repeatedly and walked out of the gate of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion with his fiancée and brother and headed home.
However, as soon as they walked out of the gate of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion, they were noticed by some nosy people outside.
"Look, it's the family of three that came to seek medical treatment just now."
"Huh? The young man was panting and needed help to walk just now, how come he can walk by himself now?"
"No way? They came out of the Fairy Medicine Pavilion. Could they have been cured by the alchemist of the Fairy Medicine Pavilion?"
"How is that possible? Even the alchemist of Shennong Hall said that it couldn't be cured. How could this Fairy Medicine Pavilion be more powerful than Shennong Hall?"
"Could it be that this family is hired by the Fairy Medicine Pavilion?"
"I don't think so. I live nearby. I have seen this family come to Shennong Hall several times. Every time, they were scolded and driven out by the guys of Shennong Hall. They were covered in dust. If they were hired, I don't think they would act so hard."
"What? In my opinion, they are hired. It just so happens that the Fairy Medicine Pavilion officially opened today, and this family came. It must be that the Fairy Medicine Pavilion deliberately hired them to build momentum for itself..."
There were already many onlookers gathered in front of the two shops. At this moment, there were discussions and all kinds of things.
Even Xu Rong frowned, obviously a little surprised that Tang Peng's brother's illness was cured by the Immortal Medicine Pavilion.
But soon, Xu Rong showed a look of disapproval. Anyway, no matter what the Immortal Medicine Pavilion was, it would not be able to compete with Shennong Hall.
Because he had already secretly sent people to keep an eye on the newly opened Immortal Medicine Pavilion, knowing that the price of the elixirs in the Immortal Medicine Pavilion was very expensive, and only two kinds of elixirs were sold, saying that it was aimed at the high-end market. Not to mention whether the route of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion could work, even if it could work, it would not affect Shennong Hall, which mainly took the civilian route.
Just when Xu Rong was thinking about this, an old man in a blue cloth robe suddenly walked out from the crowd and walked straight towards the gate of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion.
Arriving at the gate of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion, the old man in blue robe asked, "Is the manager of your shop here? I have something to talk to him about."
"Ah... yes, yes!"
The shop assistants at the gate of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion saw someone asking about the manager. They were also very smart. They knew that today was the first day of the store's opening. If someone asked like this, it was very likely that a big customer had come to the store!
At that moment, several shop assistants immediately ran into the store and called the manager out soon.
This manager was also a very capable person under the Seventh Princess, but he didn't show up much, so few people knew that he was the Seventh Princess's man.
As soon as he saw the old man in blue robe, the manager immediately smiled and said, "What's the matter, sir?"
"I am an elder of the Wu family. I want to order a batch of pills from your store. If the pills are good, we can cooperate for a long time!"
The old man in the blue robe did not have any tricks.
