Chapter 36: Ginseng Picking

Three days later, Yu Xi went to the Mercy Grace Hall to get ginseng as agreed.

Situ Nanfeng was waiting for her in the Ci'en Hall, and when he saw her coming, he ordered someone to serve her good tea and snacks with a smile.

"Brother Yu Xian, can this ginseng be returned to your eyes?"

Situ's family is not a hand-eyed family in Shangjing, and it is also a well-known big family, and Situ Nanfeng has already figured out her details in the past few days. It's just that he is really curious about what kind of medicine is sold in this prime minister's golden gourd, and he doesn't want to demolish her.

Situ Nanfeng ordered someone to bring the prepared ginseng to Yu Xi to see.

Yu Xi only looked at it casually, took it in his hand and weighed it, and then thanked him.

This 500-year-old ginseng is already expensive, plus the last order of ten catties of saffron and ten catties of cordyceps, it adds up to more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Yu Xi took out a roll of silver tickets from his sleeve and put it on the table, Situ Nanfeng glanced at it, and several silver tickets were old and rolled, presumably they had been saved for a long time.

The aristocratic ladies in Beijing have no worries about food and clothing, and their food and clothing are provided by their families, and some beaded jewelry is also paid by the whole family. I live a rich life, but I don't have a lot of money in my hands. That's why the ladies who eloped with the same people walked away with their dowry jewels instead of silver tickets.

She was a little different, she had saved so much money and was willing to spend it on these precious medicinal herbs. Situ Nanfeng thought quietly, it's just that the prime minister's daughter bought medicinal herbs in person, and she didn't know what the purpose of being a woman dressed as a man was.

"This 500-year-old ginseng is the treasure of my town store in the town of Ci'en Church, and the money must be collected. Saffron and cordyceps, count me as a gift to my virtuous brother. ”

Situ Nanfeng smiled good-natured and said to Yu Xi, taking half of the money to pay her back.

He didn't lack all this money, and when he thought of it, she had worked hard to save, and he didn't want it anymore. said that she would send her for free, for fear that she would have to be careful.

"It's all about business, so it's good for me to let Brother Situ do a loss-making business." Yu Xi insisted on giving it, and stuffed it back into his hand.

The hands of the two rubbed together, and Situ Nanfeng only felt that the skin seemed to be smoked by the heat, and it couldn't be said to be burning.

"Brother Xian, listen to my explanation," Situ Nanfeng said softly with the burning sensation in his heart, "You first came to Beijing, but I hit you off at first sight, thinking that even if I don't be a patron in the future, I can make friends." This saffron and cordyceps are both Situ's own breeding industry, which is very valuable in the eyes of outsiders, but it is not a valuable thing to me. The virtuous brother Quan should accept it as a meeting gift. ”

After hearing this, Yu Xi still wanted to excuse himself.

Situ Nanfeng was upright: "Isn't it that the virtuous brother looks down on the foolish brother and disdains to be with the foolish brother?" ”

Speaking of this, Yu Xi couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to accept the returned silver ticket.

It's strange to say, when I heard other people's "virtuous brother" and "virtuous brother" call Yu Xi only felt sour and rotten, but when I got to Situ Nan's mouth, I felt very elegant.

"Brother Situ, in order to thank you, shall I ask you to dinner?" Yu Xi saw that Situ Nanfeng treated him kindly, and he had the intention of making friends, so he hurriedly put forward the plan for a meal.

Situ Nanfeng happily went, this new Prime Minister Miss was so interesting that he couldn't help but explore her.

After a few days of contact, Yu Xi only felt that Situ Nanfeng was not like the son of a businessman who was proficient in business, but like a scholar who was rich and wealthy. Self-denial and retribution, elegant temperament. Although he is not as handsome as Feng Yiyang, he has a kind of elegant bearing. Yu Xi only hoped that his mother's death had nothing to do with him, and the two of them didn't want to meet each other in the end.

Situ Nanfeng asked someone to send her home several times and asked her where she lived, but she just vaguely said that she was staying at the inn and prevaricated in the past.

"The inn is mixed with dragonfish, you can't live like this." Situ Nanfeng persuaded her and invited her to move to his house. Yu Xi is more and more unlike an ordinary businessman, he is very happy to be kind and chivalrous, and he looks like a scholar on the outside, which is easier to get close to.

Yu Xi naturally made excuses again and again to shirk.
