Chen Yuanheng was listening to music and drinking, and Bai took the maid and wife to go shopping with Hu, Wen Hui, and Mingzhu. In fact, Hu Shi didn't want to go shopping, she was not interested in clothes and jewelry, the most important thing is that the medicine shop she opened was busy, because she had been a free clinic for the victims before, and was respected as a "life-saving Bodhisattva" by the victims, so she became famous, after the victims left, she rented a shop in a remote place in the city, the picture is that the rent is cheap, so as to save costs, so as to continue to give free medical treatment to the poor, but her reputation is too great, there are many people who come to her every day to see a doctor, there are many poor people, and there are many rich people. In this way, she changed it to a fee-based medical treatment under the construction of her daughter Mingzhu, but when she encountered someone who really couldn't come up with the money, and there was a confirmation from the village, she gave free consultation and gave medicinal materials.

Now Mingzhu is twelve years old, and the chores of the Hu family, including the monthly money at home, personal contacts, managing servants, arranging kitchen purchases every day, and the affairs on the grange, and the rent of the shop in Ancheng are all under her control.

What makes Hu happy is that Mingzhu has been trained in Bai's hands for two years is very effective, and now the management of the home and outside the home is well organized, even the pharmacy is also managed by her, and she does not need to post money, but it does not make money, so that Hu is very satisfied, so that the poor can see a doctor for free in her, and the rich spend money to see a doctor and buy a medicine and tonic pharmacy.

Bai Shi pulled Hu Shi out, and Hu Shi came out and was still muttering: "Sister, you see that I have so many patients waiting there, how can I go out to shop?" ”

Bai said: "You just need to see a doctor every day, you look at Mingzhu, take care of your affairs every day, you have never gone shopping since you came to Deqing, you should be for your daughter." ”

Hu Shi listened and looked at his daughter with a longing face. Remembering that my daughter has really worked hard for a while, my heart softened, so I had to accompany her to go shopping.

At this time, Wen Hui said: "Aunt Hu." I see that there are so many patients in your pharmacy, and you are alone. It's really too hard, you can also take in a few apprentices, so that they can treat patients when you are gone. ”

Hu Shi smiled bitterly and said: "I shouldn't show up as a woman, where can I teach my apprentices, I won't be laughed at when I say it." ”

When Bai heard this, he said, "Who dares to laugh? My sister is now a seven-grade lady personally named by the emperor, and she is respected by the people as a 'life-saving bodhisattva'. Not many people come to you as apprentices? ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Shi was moved, and Wen Hui said again: "Aunt Hu, you accept apprentices." Just accept only female apprentices. ”

These words reminded Hu Shi, and Hu Shi immediately said: "Yes, why didn't I think that I could practice medicine as a woman, why can't I recruit female apprentices." No way. Don't go shopping, go back and recruit a few apprentices now. ”

Bai couldn't cry or laugh: "Sister, no matter how anxious you are, you have to go shopping first." If you don't buy head and face jewelry, clothing, you have to buy pearls. There is no little girl dressed up so plain every day, and ah, when I came out, my lord told me to buy some ornaments, there are a lot of good things in Jiangnan, I have seen not long after, Lord Hu should return to the capital from the northwest, when you go to the capital, you can't buy it, it's better to buy more now, and take it with you, although the house of Lord Hu has been returned, but the furnishings and the like are gone, how much does it take? It's much more expensive to buy in the capital, but it's cheaper to buy in Jiangnan. ”

These words touched Hu, Hu said: "Since I haven't been in contact with my cousin when I left, we have been writing constantly, after the end of the war in the northwest, I and my father and mother also wrote letters, they will be able to go to the capital next month, and told me to wait for two more months before going to Beijing, my sister helped me sell the real estate next to the Ancheng market some time ago, and made three times, and now I left 20,000 taels for Mingzhu as a dowry, and the rest is tens of thousands of taels, enough for me to take back to my parents to rebuild the house." I can still have the grange and shop in Anseong for my retirement, which is really a blessing for my sister. ”

As soon as Mingzhu heard about the dowry, her face turned red and she said, "Mother, you are confused, you are talking these things here. I still listen to my stepmother, now I will help my grandfather's family choose some Jiangnan specialty items, and then bring them to the capital together. ”

Bai also said: "Since my sister has this heart, she will quickly follow me to go shopping." ”

Hu Shi agreed with a smile, and asked Mingzhu to get the silver ticket out, and their family's money was not needed for a while, and it was all stored in the bank.

These women are all shopaholics, Deqing City is a capital city, it is bigger than Ancheng, and it is more prosperous than Ancheng, many things are not available in Ancheng, Jiangnan is rich in products, these people bought a lot of things, there are rouge gouache, of course, this is used by Bai, Wen Hui doesn't need it now, Hu considers himself a widow, never uses these, but Mingzhu is now bigger, and he also bought some. There is also the head of jewelry, which women like, and everyone bought a lot, of course, it was bought in Wanjiayinlou.

As soon as Wanjia Yinlou saw that the prefect's wife and Hu's family, the "life-saving Bodhisattva" known to the whole Deqing City, they immediately invited them to the private room on the second floor and moved out all the good things of Wanjia Yinlou. After the Bai family made a selection for themselves, they deliberately asked the shopkeeper to take the small jewelry with good workmanship and new style, so that it could be kept for future use.

Bai Shi deliberately said to Hu Shi: "Wait for the shopkeeper to bring small jewelry, sister, you pick up the new style more, and wait until you go back to the capital to keep the reward, small red gold rings, small red gold ear digging, as well as silver hairpins, silver bracelets and the like, keep them for the next person, and then choose some larger ones, and keep them for the girls who meet relatives in the future to reward them, so that you can have face, and live in your mother's house so that you will not be looked down upon." ”

Hu Shi was moved when she heard this, she was just happy to be able to go to the capital to see her parents soon, and forgot about it. Yes, she is a divorced person, and she brought a daughter who dragged an oil bottle, and her parents would naturally love her in every way, but she still has a sister-in-law. In the past few years, Hu is no longer the girl who did not go out of the cabinet and did not eat the fireworks in the world, she has experienced the failure of marriage, and separation, and seeing a doctor for the victims, and knows very well the warmth and coldness of people, and now I have listened to Bai's statement, I am very moved, fortunately I met Bai, or her life is ruined, maybe she will die a long time ago, where can she still do what she wants to do like now, and she has won the title of emperor.

Just thinking about it, the shopkeeper took out the jewelry, there are many varieties, Hu and Bai are enthusiastic and look at it, and they have bought a lot. After selecting these, Bai asked the shopkeeper to take out the ornaments.

The shopkeeper said: "Our good ornaments, there are red gold, there are also jade agate gemstones, the best ones are on the third floor, and the idlers are not allowed to see it, now please move the ladies and gentlemen." ”

Bai Shi laughed: "I didn't know you still had the third floor here." ”

After speaking, I went to the third floor, and there were many ornaments on the third floor, including the birthday star of white jade, Guanyin, the mountain stone figure of jade, the bonsai of agate, the flower tree with precious stones, and the eight horses galloping of red gold, the carp jumping over the dragon gate, the toad palace folding laurel, the bamboo report peace and the like, dazzling Chinese eyes.

In fact, Chen Wenhui liked these things in her previous life, but she was just a small white-collar worker in her previous life, where can she afford it, but one of the advantages of her previous life is that there are many museums, and Chen Wenhui often visited museums in her previous life, which can be regarded as well-informed. followed the selection, and soon took a fancy to an immortal crane to find treasures, and the Bai family also took a fancy to the eternal existence of an ice jade. Mingzhu looked at a pair of jade carved bamboo vases, and Hu Shi looked at a jade carving of longevity.

These people chose their own ones, referred to each other from time to time, and quickly selected some boutiques, so that the shopkeeper made a bag, and the shopkeeper calculated a seven-fold price for them, and the group went to the silk shop to choose silk.

In the silk shop, Bai said to Hu again: "Sister, Jiangnan is most famous for tea, porcelain, silk, these things, silk is particularly exquisite, in Jiangnan a high-quality silk sells for eighty or ninety taels, and it can be sold for more than one hundred and twenty taels when it is transported to the capital, and many times there is no such fresh color as Jiangnan, so it is very face-saving for you to buy more and take it back to give away." In addition to these high-quality silks, my sister also has to choose some secondary, I think Master Hu's house will use a lot of chairs, backrests, bedding, window screens, door curtains, tents and the like, all of them are bought, it costs a lot of money, you will buy them all in Jiangnan, and you can save a lot of money when you go back. My family has a good relationship with the Lan family's silk shop, so you can buy it cheaper. ”

Hu felt that what Bai said was very reasonable, anyway, she was going to make a boat to the capital at that time, and she didn't want to take the same boat with others, so she had to charter a boat alone, so that she would pull some things home and not waste the boat fare. I asked Bai to help me read and buy a lot.

These Wen Hui were not interested, but Mingzhu could come up with ideas on the side, so Wen Hui asked the shopkeeper to bring a lot of clothes and buy them for herself. Wen Hui loved to buy clothes in her previous life, and most of her monthly salary was spent on buying branded clothes, but now she has money in her hands, and she has already seen these well-made satins that are difficult to see in her previous life. Of course, the Lan family gives the lowest discount.

After coming out of the silk shop, I went to the furniture shop and bought a few large gauze screens, as well as some small daily objects.

In the middle, these people also went to the calligraphy and painting shop, bought some new calligraphy and paintings, and also went to the pen and ink shop to buy some good inkstones and good pen and ink paper unique to Jiangnan. These Hu family bought the most, her family is a scholarly family, and there are the most readers in the family, which is the most suitable to return to the capital and give people calligraphy and painting pen and ink inkstones.

They walked around until it was time for dinner, and the group returned home. Chen Yuanheng and the two Chen brothers were surprised to see them buy so many things, and they admired that these women were really shopaholics.
