Chapter 253: Go to Fucheng to sell pearls
Lin Tiezhu was fascinated when he heard it, and asked after him: "Then what?" ”
Zhou Lang has a talent for storytelling, and said with emotion: "Then Lao Lang Zhong took the lead and took his apprentices to the yamen to report that Yao Sanwang and Ba might have been infected with the plague. It is said that at that time, the county order was so frightened that the black gauze hat was about to fall off, so he hurriedly sent someone to Yao's house, surrounded the house, and did not allow the people inside to come out. Now Yao Zhai is seeking medical treatment in the county, saying that as long as Yao Sanwang and Eight are cured, he will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. ”
Lin Tiezhu smacked his lips: "It's so generous, with such a high price, will anyone go?" ”
Wednesday Lang shook his head: "When I came back, no one went, but with such a high reward, there must be that bold Lang Zhong who will go." ”
Lin Ruan shook his head with a smile: "When one of the old ladies of the Yao family was sick, she opened a sky-high price of eight hundred taels and hired someone to treat the tree. If the sick person is the third son of the Yao family, one hundred taels, does this look down on the third son of Yao, or look down on Langzhong in Yulin County? ”
Lin Tiezhu and Wednesday Lang were stunned: "Master, cure a tree, eight hundred taels?" It's true? What tree is so valuable? ”
Lin Ruan smiled and said, "A yew tree is really eight hundred taels." ”
She still earned the money.
Lin Tiezhu said with a smile: "The life of this Yao Sanwang is not as valuable as a tree, and I don't know what his reaction will be when he wakes up." ”
Zhou Lang looked worried: "Ah Ruan, you say, will Yao Sanwang Ba really get the plague?" The disease is contagious, and anyone who gets it will die. ”
Lin Ruan shrugged: "Who knows?" However, I think that the Qin County Order knows how to prevent and control it, even if the third son of Yao has the plague, it is not a big problem. ”
She was sure that Yao Sangongzi would not get the plague, after all, she didn't think about pulling all the people in the county into the water.
Yao Sangongzi has been having a high fever that does not go away, but he is frightened.
Taking a step back, even if Yao Sangongzi really contracted the plague when she was so back, she still had a way to protect the people of Yulin County from being infected.
So she didn't worry about it from start to finish.
The next day, Lin Ruan packed his luggage, went to Yamen to open a road, and prepared to set off for Fucheng.
This time, she plans to go alone.
Before leaving, she took the pearls with her, and planned to take them to Fucheng to exchange them for some silver.
After explaining the things in the store, Lin Ruan rode off on a lightning bolt.
From Yulin County to Qingzhou City, it takes nearly four days by land and three days by water.
With the ability, lightning is never slower than in a boat.
The first time he went back to Huaiyang Mansion, Lin Ruan didn't have a guide, so he could only ask as he walked, so as not to miss the place to stay.
Stop-and-go, at noon on the fourth day, Lin Ruan rushed to Huaiyang Mansion.
Fucheng is worthy of being Fucheng, as soon as he entered the city gate, the lively scene made Lin Ruan couldn't help but sigh.
It's so bustling.
The streets are full of pedestrians, and all kinds of vendors fill the roads on both sides.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are more open, so you can also see the sedan chairs of many large families on the street, and occasionally the sedan curtains are opened by the wind, and you can see the shadows of the people in the sedan chair.
There are countless shops of all kinds, restaurants and tea shops are full of guests, and the noise is heard far and wide.
Lin Ruan walked forward with the flow of people on the street leading the horse, and when he arrived at an inn that looked very pleasing to the eye, he went in and asked for a room.
After a few days of driving, Lin Ruan also felt very tired, and after handing over the lightning to the guy, he ordered the guy to send some hot water to the room.
She is a little girl, and she is still quite eye-catching when she goes out alone.
When the guy sent the water upstairs, he also specially instructed: "Girl, the inn is messy, you must close the doors and windows, if there is anything, pull this knot, we will rush over as soon as possible." ”
Lin Ruan glanced at the knot that the guy said, smiled and thanked him, and sighed in his heart, the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, and he already has a simple call equipment so early.
With such an episode, Lin Ruan's affection for this inn doubled.
After washing, Lin Ruan rested.
After sleeping until it was dark, Lin Ruan pulled the knot, called the men, ordered some food to eat, and told them to take care of the lightning.
When the guy brought the food, Lin Ruan took out a dime of silver and gave it to him, and asked him about some things in the city.
The guy is a very eloquent person, he simply and clearly told Lin Ruan what he wanted to know, and specially explained some precautions, such as there is a curfew in the city at night, and you can't walk around when the hour comes, where else to pay attention to avoid, and which shops to beware of being pitted.
Lin Ruan listened to it with relish and remembered it in his heart.
After dinner, Lin Ruan moved his hands and feet in the room, but lay down to rest again.
Early the next morning, Lin Ruan had breakfast and went out to the biggest jewelry store in Huaiyang Mansion that the guy said.
Tiansheng Jewelry Store is located on Zhuque Street, which is the most prosperous and lively street in the entire Huaiyang Mansion City, and it is also the favorite place for the rich and noble families in the city.
And Tiansheng Jewelry Store is the most famous in Huaiyang Mansion, and every piece of jewelry is very popular.
Lin Ruan decided to sell her pearls here.
Brought the pearl to the door, and immediately a guy greeted him enthusiastically: "This girl is please, the girl looks a little raw, she shouldn't come to our store often, what do you want to see, the little one is good to introduce to you." ”
Her clothes are all ordinary fabrics, and the styles are not too outstanding, and she can't handle them in this Huaiyang City. But the guy in this jewelry store didn't look down on her because of her clothes, and he also took care of her face when he spoke, only said that he didn't come often, and didn't say that she hadn't come, which was very good for Lin Ruan, and this was the real attitude of serving with heart.
There are several jewelry stores in Yulin County and Qingzhou City, and the guys in them are all like they have eyes on the top of their heads, if you don't dress decently, people will not be able to take care of you.
Lin Ruan smiled and said to the guy: "I'm not here to buy jewelry, I have some pearls here, I want to ask if your store accepts them." ”
The man's smile remained the same, and he enthusiastically led Lin Ruan in another direction: "The girl is going this way, our shopkeeper is here, you can talk to him in person." ”
Lin Ruan was led to the shopkeeper by the guy, and listened to the guy briefly introduce her to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and beard, and he looks very friendly.
The shopkeeper asked with a smile: "The girl is polite, the old man's surname is Kong, and he is the shopkeeper of Tiansheng Jewelry Company, can you let the old man see how your pearls are in condition?" ”
Lin Ruan smiled and opened the box she had been holding in her hand: "Shopkeeper Kong, please take a look." ”
Her pearls were about the same size, and their color was white and pink, and the largest black one was particularly conspicuous in it.
