Chapter 383: First Acquaintance
Caiyun didn't know why Su Qing came to Kyoto, and by chance came to his own silk Zhuangzi to buy brocade, judging from his clothes, this Su Qing must have mixed up with the appearance of a person, compared to the shabby scholar who was dressed back then, and he has been judged to be like two people.

Caiyun and Su Qing's acquaintance is also a coincidence, when Caiyun followed his father to do business outside, in order to earn money, he did almost any business, medicinal materials, tea, food, it was because of the medicinal materials business that Caiyun and Su Qing met.
One day, when his father was not there, only Caiyun and Xiao Xia were left in the medicine shop, a scholar with patches on his clothes, staggered into the shop, and looked at Lu Caiyun anxiously; "Miss, according to this recipe, grab the medicinal herbs for me."
Caiyun looked at the recipe and handed it to Xiao Xia, and when the medicinal materials were ready, and Xiao Xia settled the bill for the scholar, he said timidly: "I don't have a silver tael, but I promise you that I will come over to pay the bill as soon as I have the silver." ”
Hearing this poor scholar say that he had no money, Xiao Xia pouted and said, "No silver, do you buy any medicine?" ”
"As I said, when I have the money, I will come and pay you back, and you will have pity on my old mother who is lying on the bed. If I don't take the medicine back, I'm afraid she'll die." The scholar pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but our herb shop never takes credit." Xiao Xia pursed her lips and said, she didn't believe that this scholar would have money to pay off the debt.
"I beg you, just let me take the medicine! I have the money, and I promise to return it to you, but can't I write you an IOU? ”
Caiyun sat on a chair on the side, heard the conversation between Xiao Xia and the scholar, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Miss, this person doesn't give money to buy medicine, and shouts for credit." Xiao Xia pointed to the ragged scholar and said.
Seeing Lu Caiyun, the scholar immediately knelt down in front of her and said, "Miss, I know you are a good person, you can do it, save my mother!" ”
Caiyun looked at him and asked; "Rise up and tell me what your name is?"
"My name is Su Qing, my mother has been bedridden for many days, and she has spent all her family savings, but I met a miracle doctor this time, he prescribed a prescription, and said that this time the medicine will be cured."
"Show me the prescription." Caiyun Xiaoxia said.
Xiao Xia handed the prescription to Caiyun, Caiyun looked at the precious medicinal materials on the prescription and said: "These are precious medicinal materials", it costs ten taels of silver, what do you use as a scholar to earn money to pay off the medicine? ”
"I can write a complaint to someone to earn money, my handwriting is good, my name is Su Qing, the neighbors know it, if you don't believe it, you can inquire."
"Okay, you can take these herbs, but you need an IOU."
Hearing Lu Caiyun say this, the scholar hurriedly knelt down and said; Thank you, young lady, for saving your life, and I'll come back to you as soon as I have the money. ”
"Hurry up, write an IOU, and don't kneel, the man has gold under his knees, don't kneel at every turn in the future, it's not good."
Su Qing finished writing the IOU, took the medicinal herbs, and left with a thousand thanks to Caiyun.
Seeing the scholar leave, Xiao Xia complained to Caiyun; "Miss, when the master left, he deliberately explained, don't give it to people on credit casually, it's ten taels of silver medicinal materials, and you just let him take it?"
"With his IOU here, you are still afraid that he will repay the debt." Caiyun doesn't care about the Tao.
"Miss, what's the use of the IOU, he won't come to repay the debt, what can we do with him, we can't sue him to the government for just ten taels of silver!" Xiao Xia said helplessly, her own lady is soft-hearted and loves to help everyone.
"Okay, okay, don't blame me, it's a big deal that he doesn't pay back the silver, and uses my pocket money to pay it off, but you must not tell my father about this." Caiyun was afraid that the poor scholar would be embarrassed outside the courtyard.
As the days passed, Caiyun had forgotten about it, and suddenly one day someone broke into the medicine shop.
Caiyun saw that this person was familiar, and hurriedly asked, "Childe, do you have anything to do?" ”
"I'm here to pay the bill." The man said.
"Pay the bill." Caiyun was a little stunned.
She didn't remember, Xiao Xia didn't forget, she saw Xiao Xia on the side reminding; "Miss, you forgot that half a month ago, this person bought some valuable medicinal materials, didn't pay off the debt, and wrote an IOU."
"Oh, you came with the silver? It's really not simple, this mere half a month to get enough ten taels of silver, how many sheets of paper have to be written, it can be seen that this Suzhou City is not very peaceful. Caiyun muttered.
Xiao Xia took out the IOU and said to the poor scholar: "This is an IOU, take the silver!" ”
"I don't have any money."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Xia looked at Caiyun, both of them were a little dumbfounded, this poor scholar, what do you say he came here with no money?
Seeing that Caiyun and Xiao Xia were looking at themselves, the scholar took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Lu Caiyun and said; "Although I don't have the silver to pay you back, I am willing to use this jade pendant to pay off the debt, this is my family's ancestral jade pendant, it should be worth a lot of ten taels of silver, but you have to promise me that I can redeem it when I earn enough silver."
Xiao Xia grinned and said, "I brought you the jade pendant together, so that we can keep it for you temporarily!" ”
"So to speak, but I didn't break my promise, although I didn't make enough money, but the jade pendant was given to you." The scholar was about to leave.
Caiyun saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly stopped him and cared; "Is your mother's illness better?" ”
"Thanks to Miss To, she's much better."
"Xiao Xia, according to the prescription last time, get another pair of medicinal materials for this son." Caiyun took the jade pendant and instructed Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia was a little hesitant, she now doubted that her young lady was not stupid, she hadn't paid off the medicine last time, so why did she have to give him the medicine?
"No, my mother's illness is really much better." When the scholar heard that Lu Caiyun was going to get medicine for his mother again, he hurriedly stopped him.
Seeing that the scholar refused, Caiyun hurriedly explained, "Your jade pendant is mortgaged here, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to repay the silver, the reason why I gave you the medicinal herbs is also to think that you can cure your mother as soon as possible, and you can earn money to pay off the debt earlier." ”
"Thank you so much, miss." Su Qing took the medicinal herbs handed over by Xiao Xia and was no longer polite. In fact, the doctor also proposed to let him buy another pair of medicinal herbs and give them to his mother, saying that only then could his mother's illness be cured. He was reluctant to buy any more medicine, but in recent days, he saw that his mother was a little uncomfortable, but it was not too serious.
