Chapter 2 The First Shopping Experience

Fang Yuan clicked on the interface of the Taobao system in his mind, typed 'treatment of tuberculosis' in the search bar, and found a Tmall merchant selling genuine goods.

He chose a merchant who sold drugs, and in the comment area of the merchant, there were many medium and bad reviews, and a large group of people who scolded their father and mother in the additional comments must not be bought.

He chose the sales ranking, and the first one has sold thousands of copies, click on the comment area, and the reputation and praise are acceptable. There are also bad reviews, but the merchant's after-sales service is quite in place, and a long explanation has been made.

This one is reliable!

Fang Yuan made a judgment, communicated with the merchant, and truthfully informed the condition.

The merchant recommends taking anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-tuberculosis drugs, and cough medicines.

anti-inflammatory drugs, 20 yuan/box, 6 boxes, a total of 120 yuan;

anti-tuberculosis drugs, 30 yuan/box, 6 boxes, a total of 180 yuan;

cough medicines, 15 yuan/box, 6 boxes, a total of 90 yuan.

He originally wanted to buy a tuberculosis physiotherapy device, but a tuberculosis allicin physiotherapy device cost 2,800 yuan, which was beyond his financial range.

Fang Yuan put the medicine into the shopping cart and clicked on the checkout, totaling 390 yuan.

Weight: 3KG;

Freight: 3900 yuan

The total amount to be paid: 4,290 yuan, converted into 42.9 taels of silver and 4.29 taels of gold.

"Dididi, host, please select [Gold Payment] [Silver Payment]"

For a mere 300 yuan thing, the system charges 42.9 taels of silver, or 4.29 taels of gold, which can be said to have brought into full play the unscrupulous nature of no business and no traitor, and this transaction has emptied all of Fang Yuan's family wealth.

Fang Yuan calculated Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, the exchange ratio of gold and silver in this era is 1:6 to 1:8, and the exchange ratio of gold and silver recognized by the system is 1:10, so it is the most cost-effective to use gold to pay for goods, and the Taobao system to deal with unscrupulous profiteers must always fight with it.

Fang Yuan did not choose to pay immediately, but decided to exchange the silver for gold tomorrow and trade again.

The next day, Fang Yuan took all the thirty taels of silver to the money village to exchange for five taels of gold. This is Fang Yuan's only remaining family wealth, and he is still reluctant in his heart, but he thinks that he can't get rich with less than five taels of gold, so he might as well give it a go, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.

He placed the gold on the table and clicked "Pay for Gold" in the system.

A dazzling white light flashed in front of him, and the gold on the table disappeared, but some scattered broken gold fell, Fang Yuan counted the points, and the system made up less than half a tael of broken gold particles, which was still a clear real price, and Tong Su was not deceived.

The system interface prompts, "The payment of this transaction has been successful, the purchased goods have been shipped, and the purchased goods are expected to arrive within six hours, please pay attention to the host." ”

Fang Yuan and the seventh sister-in-law had a night meal, and went to help the seventh sister-in-law do some chores, and when he returned to the room, the medicine he bought had arrived and was placed on his bed.

Fang Yuan counted the medicines, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the old man, he dismantled all the outer packaging, and only filled the capsules and tablets inside with three small porcelain bottles, and used a knife to carve the dosage on each small porcelain bottle.

He had a small porcelain vase in his pocket, and when the seventh sister-in-law fell asleep, he came to the old man's room again and knocked on the door, "Old man, the ancestral medicine is ready." ”

"Crunch"

The wooden door opened a crack, and the old man hid behind the door and stretched out a hand to receive the medicine.

Fang Yuan saw his hand, which was unusually pale in the moonlight, where was the hand of the working people, it was clear that he had never touched a single chore, and it was even paler than a woman's hand.

The old man took the three small porcelain bottles handed by Fang Yuan, opened the small porcelain bottles and looked at them, obviously these strange-shaped capsules and tablets were beyond his understanding of medicine, "cough, cough, cough!" What kind of medicine is this? It's not like a pill, and I don't see the soup, how do I take it? ”

Fang Yuan said perfunctorily, "Old man, this is a special medicine brought by Francois from the West, specializing in the treatment of tuberculosis diseases. ”

The Franc machine was originally a kind of artillery, which was brought by the Portuguese from the West, and the Ming Dynasty called the Portuguese Franc Machine.

The old man was very vigilant, and he responded in disbelief, took a capsule, pinched it with his fingers, soft and elastic, anyway, after taking a few years of decoction, he didn't cure tuberculosis, since there is a strange medicine brought by the Francois man, with the idea of rushing to the doctor, maybe it doesn't hurt to try, "How is this cured?" ”

Fang Yuan patiently told him how to take it, as well as the dosage of each porcelain bottle.

The old man took the medicine and closed the door again, and his shrill voice came from the door, "I'll try to deal with you again." ”

Fang Yuan is not sure whether modern drugs can cure tuberculosis, but Fang Yuan is still very confident in the efficacy of cough and inflammation, at least in a short period of time.

In the next few days, the old man did not move again, and Fang Yuan could only judge from the sound of coughing in his room that the old man did not run away, but stayed in the room.

The interval between listening to the old man's cough became longer and longer, and Fang Yuan knew that these cough and anti-inflammatory drugs did have the effect of suppressing cough.

Early this morning, Fang Yuan hesitated whether to go to the old man to ask for the first course of medicine, but he heard a heavy knock on the door of the courtyard.

The seventh sister-in-law went to open the door, but found two strong men standing at the door, uniform clothes, brocade clothes with embroidered blue background, cotton armor outside, and a long knife around their waists.

Fang Yuan knew at first sight that the clothes were flying fish suits, and the knives were embroidered spring knives.

This is the costume of the brocade guard.

Jinyiwei is as famous as the East Factory and the West Factory, and it is the secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty. However, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he killed Wei Zhongxian and completely suppressed the eunuch party, and the power of Jinyiwei was far less than that of Wanli and Tianqi, but the people were still afraid of it.

"What is the brocade guard doing when you come to the door?"

Fang Yuan muttered to himself, he couldn't remember anything to do with Jinyi Wei desperately.

When the seventh sister-in-law saw Jinyiwei, she was also frightened and panicked, standing at the door and asking, "Lords, what's the matter?" ”

A thin brocade guard pointed to the door of the seventh sister-in-law and said sharply, "It's okay, can't you come?" Let's go in and see. ”

The seventh sister-in-law didn't dare to stop these fierce brocade guards, so she could only let them into the courtyard.

The two brocade guards walked around the courtyard, with a satisfied smile on their faces, and muttered a few words to each other.

The thin Jinyiwei opened his mouth and said, "I am Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Zhang Hang, entrusted by someone, to negotiate the sale of this courtyard, who is the owner of the courtyard?" ”

Buying and selling courtyard houses?

Fang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that someone had taken a fancy to his courtyard in the downtown area, and sent Jinyi Wei to negotiate the deal.

The courtyard houses of Jintaifang are all high-ranking officials and nobles, rich businessmen, and it is a famous rich area in the capital, and there are indeed not many courtyards that can be bought and sold in the market.

These brocade guards obviously inquired about their own family before coming to the door, and they have no power, no background background, and can handle it at will.

"This courtyard house is the inheritance left by my parents, and I sold it and moved it to sleep on the street?"

Fang Yuan thought secretly, stood up hard, and said to the two, "Two officials, this courtyard is the ancestral business of the Fang family, and it can't be sold!" ”

Zhang Hang glared at him angrily, so he pulled out the embroidered spring knife and pointed at him and said, "Jinyiwei has taken a fancy to your courtyard, do you dare to say a word?" Look for death! Want to go to Jinyiwei Prison? ”

Zhang Hang pulled out his sword without saying a word, Fang Yuan listened to the threat, and knew that although the power of Jinyiwei was not as good as that of the previous dynasty, it was relative to the official, for himself, a little common man, to arrange a crime and send it to the edict for questioning, it was still a matter of effort.

These two brocade guards can't afford to offend, if the price is right, Fang Yuan is not the temperament to resist to the end.

He hesitated and asked, "This, this, how much are you willing to pay for this courtyard house?" ”

Before Zhang Hang could answer, the chubby brocade guard beside him said, "We are willing to give two ......."

As soon as his words came out, Zhang Hang had already interrupted him coldly, "I look at this dilapidated courtyard, it's worth a hundred taels of silver!" ”

Fang Yuan understood the trick as soon as he heard it, someone was willing to give two hundred taels of silver, and Zhang Hang was even more like a tiger and wolf, and he wanted to reduce the price to one hundred taels, and the difference in price was one hundred taels to fill his pocket.

Back then, Fang Yuan's parents spent 1,000 taels to buy this courtyard house, whether it was 200 taels or 100 taels, it was far lower than the market price of the courtyard, and it was a forced purchase and forced sale.

At such a low price, he could only buy back a small set of single rooms in other shops, and Fang Yuan couldn't sell it anyway, otherwise he would have to sleep on the street.

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Such a low price? ”

Seeing that he was still uninteresting, Zhang Hang stepped forward and pulled his collar, glared at him angrily and said, "Bold!" Come with me to the edict! ”

The fat Jinyi Wei hurriedly came to persuade, "I am Qin Zhan, the captain of Jinyi, boy, you don't want to toast and eat and drink, sell it obediently, and suffer less from flesh and skin." ”

The husband is not guilty, but a courtyard house in the rich area has caused such a big disaster, Fang Yuan is also deeply helpless, he looked at the old man's room out of the corner of his eyes, and hoped that this is not a ready-made tuberculosis patient, and it is estimated that he can scare these brocade guards away.

Fang Yuan hurriedly began to arrange the story, "Official, the feng shui in this room is not good, as soon as we moved in, my father was seriously ill and is still being treated, you don't want to move in and be unlucky!" ”

The ancients believed in these feng shui legends, and Zhang Hang was also taboo, and looked at the room with the door closed, and was half-convinced of the other party's original words, and asked coldly, "What disease?" ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly said, "It's tuberculosis, it is estimated that it will not live long, this courtyard is really unlucky, alas! ”

Zhang Hang let go of Fang Yuan, walked straight to the door of the room, knocked heavily on the door, and shouted, "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

The old man's shrill voice came from the room, "Who?!" So ignorant of the rules! ”

Zhang Hang said angrily, "Jinyiwei handled the case, open the door for me immediately!" ”

The old man snorted coldly and said, "It turns out to be Jinyiwei?!" Ahem! Sign up to hear it. ”

Zhang Hang said angrily, "I'm Zhang Hang, the little banner of Jinyiwei, don't let me get out yet!" ”

The old man sneered disdainfully, "Who is Zhang Hang?" Haven't heard of it! The Jinyi guards commanded Luo Yangxing to also call me Ah Weng, and he didn't dare to shout in front of me. ”

Zhang Hang and Qin Zhan looked at each other, Luo Yangxing was the head of Jinyiwei, and the old man in the house actually moved out of Luo Yangxing's name, which surprised the two.

Zhang Hang still came back to his senses first, and said with a sneer, "Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf for me, get out of here, and let me see where you are sacred?" ”

The old man in the room fell silent again, and did not answer his words, obviously thinking that Zhang Hang was not qualified to talk to him at all.

Zhang Hang had an extra heart, he didn't dare to rush to the door easily, turned around and went to catch Fang Yuan again, kicked him twice, and said in a deep voice, "Is your father in this room?" ”

He left a glimmer of leeway in doing things, not to ram the old man in the room, but to concoct Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was kicked by him so painfully that he bent over, and his anger was up, but he knew that he couldn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he could only endure his anger and look at Zhang Hang with hatred.

Zhang Hang saw that he was still unconvinced, so he rushed forward and slapped him twice, "Still unconvinced, isn't it?" ”

Half of Fang Yuan's face had been swollen, and the seventh sister-in-law rushed up, pulling Zhang Hang's brocade clothes and saying, "Official, why are you beating people indiscriminately?" At the foot of the capital, is there still a royal law? ”

Zhang Hang grabbed the collar of the seventh sister-in-law, fell to the ground so hard, and took a sip and spat on her, "Fuck your mother's untouchables, dare to stain my uncle's clothes, sell the courtyard, and pay me ten taels of silver." ”

Fang Yuan saw that he had actually made a move against his seventh sister-in-law, and he couldn't hold back his anger, so he wanted to get up and fight with Zhang Hang, the evil official who oppressed the people.

Qin Zhan saw that Zhang Hang began to beat people roughly, and he was moved with compassion, worried that if he started again, Fang Yuan's side would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly stopped him alive, and said in a low voice, "If the people don't fight with the officials, just bear with it!" ”

Qin Zhan persuaded Fang Yuan, then turned back to Zhang Hang and said, "Boss, I see that something is wrong with this courtyard, or I should go back and report it first, and then make a decision." ”

Zhang Hang looked at Fang Yuan, and then looked at the old man's room, anyway, the courtyard house couldn't escape here, and it would not be a day later, so he decided to go back and check the details of this courtyard before making a decision.

He took out the embroidered spring knife, gestured back and forth on Fang Yuan's neck, and warned viciously, "In three days, we will come to collect the house in person, if it still doesn't sell, we will go to the edict with us." ”

He left a sentence to support the scene, and Qin Zhan, the brocade guard who had a little conscience, left together.

Fang Yuan knew that the matter was far from over, and if he didn't sell the yard after three days, he would definitely be forcibly taken to the Imperial Prison for interrogation.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth at Jinyiwei's shameless behavior of buying and selling, and beating people indiscriminately, but he was helpless.

Fang Yuan covered his swollen cheeks, looked at the old man's room with his eyes, and had a big question, who is this old man?
