As morning mist at Qingniu Medical Hall drifted with the fragrance of summer-relief tea, Su Wanyue suddenly pointed across the street and cried out in surprise: "Brother Fan!

The worst mistake in blind imitation is copying only the superficial—" He suddenly chuckled, the beads rolling across the summer-relief tea jar to form the character for "expensive." "Tell Huwa to raise the threshold for 'Princess Consultations' to two guan, and launch the 'Abacus Bead VIP Set' as well."
Su Wanyue widened her eyes, the beads bouncing on her hairpin to form the character for "crazy." "Two guan? Even the most expensive medical hall in Chang'an isn't that ruthless!"
