Chapter 32: Counteroffer
Zhao Qingzao was so angry that he had the heart to reason with the old uncle, but he was immediately stopped by Shen Changting, and persuaded in a good voice: "Okay, for a few pennies, don't fight, give it to him, let's get in the car." ”
Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting's complexion, although after a pause, Shen Changting's face was better, but she didn't feel at ease to continue walking, and immediately unwillingly handed over four yuan to the old uncle, and helped Shen Changting to sit on the big cart behind.
I don't know if it hasn't eased up yet, or because the sun is a little fierce, Shen Changting still has beads of sweat on his forehead, and Zhao Qingzao's heart is pinched, and he whispered: "I'll go to the town later, can I buy you a hat?" ”
"What do you want a hat for?" Shen Changting was full of doubts.
"Cover the sun, you are uncomfortable in the sun, and the sun will be more poisonous later, so it's not a matter of drying it like this." Zhao Qingzao looked like a matter of course.
Shen Changting was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Then you can't wear a hat, it's almost the same to buy a hat." ”
"Yes, hat, or buy an umbrella." Zhao Qingzao laughed dryly.
She is confused, there is no hat these years, even if there is, it is just an ornament, and it is really only the practical use of the hat, after all, the umbrella is too valuable, where to cover the sun, it is really a little too showy.
"Okay." Shen Changting thought about it and nodded very dryly.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao also breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't care about herself, at most she was a little tanned, but Shen Changting's appearance really made her a little uneasy.
After thinking about it, she finally asked in wonder, "Honestly, do you have asthma or something?" Otherwise, how could he suddenly be out of breath just now? ”
"It's nothing, it's just an old problem, it's been there for a long time." Shen Changting didn't seem to want to say much, so he simply shut up.
Zhao Qingzao frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Then what kind of disease is this, haven't you seen it with a doctor?" ”
Although nine out of ten doctors are unreliable in these years, it is at most unreliable in terms of medication, after all, unless the prescription is a generation of medical families, it is difficult to have a good inheritance, but what disease is diagnosed, the generally better doctors can still be seen.
Shen Changting sighed, and said a little ambiguously: "I've looked for it, but I don't see anything why, I just can't be too tired, and it's usually nothing." ”
"Then I'll go and see what's going on, otherwise it's always like this, it's not a thing, if there is an emergency one day, you are in a hurry, then you have to do it again."
Zhao Qingzao snorted coldly, she is not a child after all, she is not so easy to fool, Shen Changting's disease is really very similar to asthma, not only can it not be affected, but more I am afraid that it cannot suddenly have strenuous exercise, otherwise it will be out of breath.
But where will life be smooth sailing, in case of an emergency, anxious, and not relieved in one breath, the consequences will be unimaginable, thinking about it, she still plans to let Shen Changting find a doctor to see.
The ox cart did not go fast, not even as fast as the people who walked quickly, but fortunately it took two quarters of an hour for them to finally reach the town and get off the ox cart.
After a rest along the way, Shen Changting's complexion finally recovered a little, and he moved much more freely, which made Zhao Qingzao also breathe a sigh of relief.
However, she didn't wait for Shen Changting to leave, so she dragged Shen Changting and said, "Do you know where the medical hall is, go to see the doctor first." ”
"What kind of doctor, if you don't go, it's not a serious illness anyway." Shen Changting looked reluctant, if it weren't for the fact that his hand was dragged by Zhao Qingzao, he would have run away at this time.
Where would Zhao Qingzao listen to him, and immediately said angrily: "If you don't go, you have to go, you don't see what you just became ill, don't look at the doctor at this time, do you still have to wait for another offense, if you commit it again, leave me alone at home, I can't carry you at that time." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, pulled someone to ask the direction of the medical hall, and dragged Shen Changting to walk forward.
Although Shen Changting looks bigger than Zhao Qingzao, his body is weak, and he really can't pull Zhao Qingzao in terms of strength, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Don't pull and pull, I'll just go with you, what does it look like like this." ”
"Whoever tells you not to listen to me, I will still harm you."
Zhao Qingzao glanced at Shen Changting, the more she got along, the more she felt that Shen Changting was a donkey, so she didn't listen to it, and she wanted to whip it, but having said that, she didn't continue to pull in the end, although Shen Changting was a little inkblot, but he still talked about it.
was escorted by Zhao Qingzao like this, and the two soon arrived at the hospital.
The medical hall is very small, just one room, two rooms, with a large counter in the middle of the main hall, and a large box behind it, with many drawers and names of various medicinal herbs.
With Zhao Qingzao's eyesight, she can barely see the words on it, but unfortunately there are still many words she doesn't recognize.
"There's no way, it seems that I'll have to watch Shen Changting copy books in the future."
After taking a look, Zhao Qingzao sighed in her heart, illiteracy is not terrible, but illiteracy is easy to be fooled in these years, which makes her have to be vigilant.
Compared with the modern city in the previous life, there are more liars in this world, doctors, fortune tellers, fortune tellers, physiognomy readers, feng shui readers, monks and Taoists, merchant pawns, and various craftsmen, etc., and even landlords and bureaucrats, most of them are cunning and no different from liars, and they are liars who hold power, and they are also above board.
"Two, who wants to see a doctor?"
Suddenly, a calm and old voice sounded, waking Zhao Qingzao up, she turned her head to look, and happened to see an old man about fifty years old, but he was already old, greeting them.
"You're a doctor, aren't you?" Zhao Qingzao smiled and spoke, and then pulled Shen Changting, who was reluctant, and said, "It's my brother who wants to see a doctor, so please ask the doctor to show him." As he spoke, he stabbed Shen Changting in the back.
Shen Changting immediately straightened his waist, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "My surname is Shen, and I am slightly unwell and uncomfortable, so I am in trouble with the doctor." ”
When the doctor saw Shen Changting, who looked like a scholar, he couldn't help but look a lot kinder, nodded, and said, "Please here." As he spoke, he led Shen Changting to the small table on the side and sat down.
Let Shen Changting stretch out his wrist, the doctor called for him very quickly, for a long time, looked at Shen Changting's tongue coating and so on, and finally said: "This Shen Gongzi, is there a heart disease?" ”
"I don't know below, but even if I kick it often, I can't breathe." Shen Changting didn't hide it, and carefully explained the symptoms.
When the doctor heard this, he nodded, and said, "Then the old man will prescribe a few pills, so that he can recuperate, and it must be fine." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't want to say anything, no matter what, it didn't look like this doctor was unreliable, of course, she didn't expect the other party to be reliable, but at least she wouldn't prescribe medicine and eat dead people indiscriminately.
And no matter which doctor, since he knows the symptoms, he will know how to prescribe medicine, even if he can't cure the disease, he can always recuperate his body.
The old doctor was very quick, hesitated for a long time, wrote a prescription, and after thinking about it again, he told Xiao Er to be busy grabbing the medicine.
Zhao Qingzao also kept an eye on it, and looked at the prescription carefully, although there were some words she didn't recognize, but there were also some that she recognized, such as red vine, notoginseng, and astragalus, which were medicines that replenish qi and blood, she had heard of them, and immediately knew that most of these medicines would not harm people.
The medicine is ready-made, and the medical hall has it, the old doctor instructed Xiao Er, and Xiao Er grabbed it again, but it was a pity that this small medical hall was busy with Xiao Er, and it didn't look like he was making more money, and Zhao Qingzao was also a little speechless for a while.
However, when the account was settled, Zhao Qingzao suddenly found that he was wrong, because after only a few doses of medicine, he actually asked for one or two silver.
"A tael of silver, how can it be so expensive?" Zhao Qingzao glared and looked at the old doctor with an angry expression.
The doctor seemed to have expected it, and said in a sonorous tone: "It's not that the price is high, but the medicinal materials themselves are expensive, and in our small place, there are very few locally produced medicinal materials, most of them rely on buying, to buy genuine goods, the price is also very high, at this price, we are cheap enough." ”
Yes, you have to take medicine when you are sick, even if you know that the other party is a pit, you have to give it obediently, Zhao Qingzao can't say that the other party is angry, and the other party doesn't sell it, so he is completely blind, and immediately handed the doctor a tael of silver with a distressed face, and went out with Shen Changting.
Just now, she still disliked people for not making money, but she didn't expect to earn her a tael of silver in the blink of an eye, which is simply black.
"I've seen this problem, how many doctors have seen it, it's useless, why do you have to spend more money." In addition to the medical hall, Shen Changting complained with a dissatisfied face.
Zhao Qingzao immediately became angry, and said angrily: "What is useless, I know that your problem is afraid for a while, and the old man has no ability to completely eradicate it, but this medicine will probably not harm you, no matter how bad it is, you can recuperate your body, just this effect, not to mention one or two silver, ten taels of silver are willing to be willing." ”
Shen Changting was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge." ”
"Not so." Zhao Qingzao pursed his lips, I have seen a lot, and I am much stronger than you.
Shen Changting smiled, noncommittal, pulled Zhao Qingzao and said, "Okay, let's go to the bookstore first and return the book to others." ”
"Well, but don't come to copy books for the next few days, and rest for two days."
Walking on the road, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but admonish.
"Well, I understand, but he doesn't have much work there, so it must be okay to rest for a few days." Shen Changting hesitated, and finally agreed.
He also understood that in this kind of trivial matter, if he argued with Zhao Qingzao, he couldn't argue, so he simply didn't argue.
Zhao Qingzao smiled, but he didn't think that Shen Changting was lying again, after all, the paper was a high-end commodity in these years, and the books were also very valuable, after all, in addition to copying, there was no printing or anything like that.
And those who are willing to spend money to read have a very solid family background, and if they want to get books, in addition to going to the bookstore to buy them, more often they go to the master and Mr. to read, and most of them will not borrow, even if they want to copy them, they have to be willing to copy, so the value of books is often very high.
Unless the family is really in the middle of the road, the average person will not easily sell the book, even if it is for people to copy, it is mostly for the sake of favor, otherwise the rich are unwilling.
Zhao Qingzao was actually very curious about where Shen Changting's knowledge came from, but he didn't think about how to ask for a while.
Although she has little knowledge, judging from the speed and fluency of Shen Changting's writing when he copied books, Shen Changting should have had a long time of reading and literacy, and he has been exposed to extremely high education, otherwise he would definitely not have this achievement.
One word, ten years of work! It's not easy to just want to write correctly, let alone copy books, and if the handwriting is poor, the copy can't be sold.
