Zuo Shaoyang took the medicine box in a daze, this is what he and his father Zuo Gui went to the village to practice medicine, and almost all the commonly used medicines were carried, took the medicine they needed, put it on the table, explained the decoction method, and said: "The girl has a bad cold, you can add some ginger to the medicine to help sweat and relieve the table." ”

Huang Qin smiled and said, "Got it." How much? ”

"Forget it, the girl got sick because she waited for me, so I can make amends."

"Your mouth is so sweet, no wonder my little sister can't let go of your heart."

Sang Xiaomei hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, this is not good, I heard that their hall is also difficult, and what should be given has to be given ......."

"I didn't say no, he didn't want it."

"It's really not necessary," Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "It's not a serious illness for you, you can't spend any money, to be honest, this money can't help our Guizhitang tide over the difficulties, we are thinking of other ways." ”

Sang Xiaomei said: "I heard that you have a lot of money for Zhao Sanniang, right?" ”

"Well, I've already paid back some of it, and it's still a little short."

Sang Xiaomei bit her lip lightly, buried half of her pretty face in the quilt, and said in a weak voice: "I still have a few pieces of jewelry, which was left for me to ...... when my grandmother was dying, and the ...... as a dowry, or you can take it and use it first, right?" ”

"No, no, how can I ask for a girl's things?"

"It's not for you, when you have enough money in the future, you can redeem it and pay it back to me."

"No need, really, thank you girl, the landlord gave us half a month grace, I have already thought of some ways, I guess we should be able to make enough money." Seeing that Sang Xiaomei's eyes were a little gloomy, she knew that she was thinking too much, so she hurriedly said again: "Otherwise, I'll make it up first, if it's not enough by then, I'll borrow it from you again, okay?" ”

Sang Xiaomei turned her worries into joy at this time, her teary eyes flashed twice, and she nodded.

Zuo Shaoyang remembered something and said: "I was drinking tea below just now, the tea cup is too hot, and you can only drink it when it is cold, which is very inconvenient." Moreover, the teacup is just open and does not keep warm, and it will soon be cold. I've seen their tea cup before at a tea shop, with a saucer to prevent burning and a tea cup lid that keeps warm. If I don't draw it for you, if you see it suitable, ask someone to do it, maybe it will help your tea shop business. ”

Sang Xiaomei said: "Okay, there is Lao Gongzi." ”

Sang Xiaomei has already changed Xiao Langzhong to Zuo Gongzi between her words. Zuo Shaoyang was a little surprised, he was not used to being called his son. When I walked to the table, there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it, and I drew a tea cup with a pen, that is, the tea saucer below, the tea cup in the middle, and the tea cup lid on the top. This three-piece tea set in ancient times appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, but it was naturally not available in the early Tang Dynasty. So after Zuo Shaoyang drew it, Huang Qin took a look at it, frowned, and said, "It's so troublesome?" Will someone make it? ”

"Show me." Sang Xiaomei stretched out her hand and said.

Huang Qin handed her the painting. Sang Xiaomei looked at it for a moment and said: "I look good, it won't be hot when you hold the teapot below with your hand, and the teacup lid on top is covered, which can prevent dust from falling into it, and it can also keep warm." It's good, Zuo Gongzi, you're so smart! ”

"Hehe, I didn't invent it, I saw it at a tea shop. According to the cat and the tiger to you, if you think it is easy to use, you can use it, and if it is not easy to use, forget it. ”

Huang Qin pursed her lips and said, "I don't think it's good." It's too much trouble. Tea lovers may not like it. Moreover, how much does it cost to make such a big set, and the in-laws will not be willing to spend this money. ”

Sang Xiaomei said: "If you don't try, how do you know, make a few sets to see first, if the tea guest likes it, just do more." ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "This is a good idea, pilot first, and then promote it after the pilot is successful, hehe......"

As soon as the three of them said this, they heard someone in the corridor outside shouting, "Baby daughter-in-law! Where did you die? It's busy down there, and you're still enjoying Qingfu in the house?! ”

"I'm here!" Huang Qin said angrily: "Who enjoys Qingfu, didn't I bring Xiaolangzhong over to see my little sister?" ”

Immediately, I heard the sound of footsteps, and a chubby middle-aged woman squeezed into the door, it was Sang Xiaomei's mother.

Sang's mother went upstairs to eavesdrop under her daughter-in-law's window, listened for a while and didn't hear any movement, and then tiptoed to her daughter's boudoir window to eavesdrop. I listened to Xiao Langzhong talking to his daughter-in-law and the three daughters, laughing a few times from time to time, the door was closed, and she didn't dare to get too close, she couldn't really hear it through the window, I didn't know what she was talking about, but it didn't sound like she was seeing a doctor, she was a little anxious, so she pouted and stepped back to the staircase, and shouted at the top of her voice.

Sang's mother entered the house, her little eyes swept all over the room, and she saw her daughter lying in the quilt with her clothes dressed, and her daughter-in-law was also neatly dressed, sitting on the side, Xiao Langzhong's clothes and expression did not show anything unusual, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, changed her smile and said: "Xiao Langzhong, is the little sister's illness cured?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly got up and saluted: "Okay, I've finished reading it." ”

Sang's mother didn't even ask her daughter what illness she was or what medicine she was prescribed, but she was afraid that when it came to the medicine money, the smile on her face became even happier: "Xiaolangzhong has worked hard, let's have a cup of tea downstairs and leave?" ”

"No, I need to go back quickly." Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said, "Miss Sang, take a good rest, I will leave." ”

"Thank you!" Sang Xiaomei lifted half of her body. Huang Qin hurriedly held her down: "Don't move, beware of getting sick and getting worse if you catch a cold." You lie down, I'll send her downstairs. ”

Huang Qin accompanied Zuo Shaoyang out of the door. Sang Mu glanced up and down again behind her, looked at Huang Qin's back, and made sure that the three of them were not cheating, so they went out and went downstairs.

Behind the counter, Daddy Sang heard the sound of the stairs, looked up with his head up, and saw Xiao Langzhong walking down the wooden stairs with a normal expression, and there was nothing wrong with the daughter-in-law and wife who followed behind, so he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in his heart: "This dead woman will be poor, I said, who will do that in the daytime." - Except for Lao Tzu back then, hehe"

Seeing Xiao Langzhong go downstairs, Father Sang greeted him, with a smile on his face, and said, "Xiao Langzhong, you are going to see the little girl, right?" ”

"Yes, Miss Sang has suffered from the cold, and I have already prescribed medicine. There was nothing wrong with taking the medication. ”

"Oh, thank you so much. ――Why don't you have a cup of tea before you leave? ”

"No, uncle, I've been out for a while, and I have to go back in a hurry."

Zuo Shaoyang was about to walk outside the tea shop with the medicine box on his back, when he heard someone in the backyard shouting: "Xiao Langzhong! The little lang of Guizhitang! Come in! ”

Listening to the voice, it is the old shopkeeper of Hengchang Pharmacy to wish the medicine cabinet. Zuo Shaoyang stood still, hesitated slightly, and walked into the backyard with the banner.

In addition to the medicine cabinet and the fat shopkeeper of the Jinyu Restaurant in the backyard, there are three more old men, but their clothes are very plain, and the five of them seem to be frequent visitors here, and they don't know what they are talking about, they are very speculative, and they laugh from time to time. Seeing Zuo Shaoyang coming in, he beckoned to the medicine cabinet: "Xiao Langzhong, is it sick after showing the sister of the Sang family?" Come here, sit here. ”

An old man next to him hurriedly got up and gave up his seat. Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said: "No, things are busy at home, and I have to rush back as soon as possible." ――I don't know what the old man commands? ”

"Hehe, do I command you? Come here! Sit down, I'll tell you again, just a few words, I can't delay you! ”

Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to carry the banner over, put the banner beside him, unloaded the medicine box on his back, and gave a look to the old man here, but ignored the fat tea guest Zhu shopkeeper in the Jinyu Restaurant. Pick up your robe and sit down on a bamboo chair.

"What to drink? The old rules, I invite you. "I wish the medicine cabinet said.

"No, no, I really don't drink it, I'll leave."

"Okay then." Zhu medicine cabinet glanced at him, took off a gold thread woven bag around his waist, pulled it open, poured out a few pieces of broken silver, took a small piece of it casually, and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang was puzzled: "Uncle, what are you ......?" ”

"The medicine you just prescribed to me, I decided to drink it, this is the medicine money for you."

Zuo Shaoyang looked at the small piece of silver, there was about two or three coins, that is, two or three hundred copper coins, which exceeded the cost of medicine by more than ten times, and said busily: "I don't need so much, uncle, the medicine is only a dozen yuan enough." ”

Zhu medicine cabinet said: "This is the medicine money plus the running fee, -- I have a strange temper, I use the prescriptions prescribed by others, but I don't take other people's medicines, I eat my own, so I have to work hard for you to go on a trip, go to my medicine store to get the medicine, go back to concoct it according to your method, and send the prepared medicine to our medicine store again, and tell them how to suffer according to the prescription." This errand is more arduous, and it will delay you to specially concoct medicinal materials for me, which is estimated to take a lot of time, so I will give you some more running expenses. ”

After hearing this, Zuo Shaoyang took the small piece of broken silver and said, "Okay!" However, these flavors are time-consuming and take an estimated day, so they can only be delivered to you tomorrow morning. ”

"No problem, if you can deliver it tomorrow morning, you can send it here, I have morning tea here with these brothers in the morning, and I took the medicine by the way."

"Okay."

Zhu Medicine Cabinet picked up a written note from the bamboo table and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang: "Well, I have already written it, you take this note to my Hengchang Medicine Store, and give it to the shopkeeper, it is my son, just do it, he will give you the medicine you need." ”

Zuo Shaoyang agreed, took the note, took the medicine box flag, and left.
