Chapter 51: Peer Trouble
It's an engagement token. Xiao Yiran held it up in front of him, the tentacles were warm, the color was delicate, and the dragon and phoenix patterns on it were lifelike, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
Fortunately, I wasn't taken away together, otherwise I am afraid that people would have snatched it up long ago! However, thinking of the meaning of this jade pendant, Xiao Yiran put down his hand with some interest: "Thank you, Mama, I will take care of it." I don't know where Mama is doing now? ”
Mama Sun lowered her head and smiled forcefully: "The slave is now on an errand at the back door." ”
Xiao Yiran looked at Xianglan with some puzzlement, and Xianglan hurriedly explained in her ear: "It's an errand that specializes in pouring swill." ”
"I remember that the Hou Mansion has always been kind to the old slaves, and with the qualifications of the grandmother, they shouldn't do these rough jobs."
"Yes. But since the original Aunt Bai was straightened, the old people in the original inner house were all sold and exchanged, and even the old slaves were transferred from the young lady's side. Later, when other people saw that the old slave was helpless in the house, they didn't have much to do with the old slave. The old slave also made a lot of effort not to be sent out of the house, so that one day he could re-deliver this jade pendant to the young lady. ”
I see. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Bai Huaping finally took the position, how could he keep the people of Chu Rou before? Thinking about it, Mama Sun has been struggling in the house for so many years, and it is not easy.
Xiao Yiran sighed in his heart, then raised his eyes and smiled: "In this case, are you willing to come to me to listen to the rain pavilion to serve?" ”
Grandma Sun was startled, raised her head and called "Miss" with emotion, but she quickly realized the difficulty of this matter, and quickly shook her head firmly and refused: "Aunt Bai may not agree to you so easily." The old slave is doing well now, so don't bother about it, miss. ”
"Mama didn't forget, it's not her to be in charge of the inner house now." Xiao Yiran said.
Mama Sun was stunned and said uncertainly: "Miss? ”
Xiao Yiran walked to her side, gently put his hand on her rough hands, and said sincerely: "Mama, come back." Seeing you return to Tingyu Pavilion, Mother will be happy in heaven. ”
"Third Miss~" Grandma Sun's eyes were moist, and she looked at her in a daze for a while, then wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and said happily and firmly: "Yes!" ”
After that, Xiao Yiran told Zou that he wanted to transfer Grandma Sun to serve in his courtyard, and sure enough, Zou happily agreed, and asked her if she wanted to transfer a few more people to serve, but Xiao Yiran politely refused.
Xiao Yiwan has been cold to Xiao Yiran since she heard Xiao Zijun's words that day, although she is still very polite on the surface, Xiao Yiran still understands that the eighth sister is suspicious of herself. She also tried to explain, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they could never be removed. Therefore, Xiao Yiran also automatically stopped going to them after Aunt Su's health gradually improved.
However, to her relief, under her continuous needles, the old shopkeeper's eyes regained his sight.
"Childe, I really don't know how to thank you!" Xiao Hai excitedly grabbed Xiao Yiran's hand and whimpered.
"No thanks. Saving lives and helping the injured is our duty as doctors. Xiao Yiran said with a smile.
"Well said!" The old shopkeeper was also very surprised at this time, and he looked at Xiao Yiran with appreciation: "The son is young, but his medical skills have reached such a superb level. is old and talented, and after such a long time, he didn't even see the principle of Childe's detoxification. ”
Xiao Yiran put away the needle bag and said generously: "If the old-timers are interested, I will find time to tell you." ”
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper was a little surprised, after all, for them doctors, medical skills are their jobs. As the saying goes, the apprentice of the church starves the master to death, so although many famous doctors have one or two special skills, they will never be easily passed on. Seeing that Xiao Yiran didn't seem to care about these things at all, the old shopkeeper appreciated her even more.
"Then the medical expenses ......" After being happy, Xiao Hai began to worry about the money, and he hesitated.
"But with a lot of effort, why bother? There is no need to talk about money. Xiao Yiran said. She never thought of asking for money, after all, at the beginning, she had a curiosity about the old shopkeeper's eye disease and wanted to give it a try, so this treatment was not only for them, but also to satisfy her desire to explore.
"How can this work?" Xiao Hai was surprised, "You have spent so much time and energy on the treatment of our shopkeeper, how can we let you work in vain?" ”
Xiao Yiran saw his eyes open in disapproval, and she was amused in her heart, she was about to say what she thought, but was interrupted by a noise from outside. The three of them hurriedly stopped talking, and hurriedly went to the front hall to check, but saw a middle-aged man with a mustache leading several people into the gate, and a group of passers-by stood outside the door watching the excitement.
Seeing the visitor, Xiao Hai's face changed instantly, and then he greeted him with a smile and said, "Isn't this the shopkeeper of Yong'an Hall?" What is the wind that is blowing you today? How? Come to our Baicaotang to buy medicine? As he spoke, he glanced at the burly men behind him.
"Less nonsense!" Shopkeeper He interrupted him impatiently, and then ordered a few people behind him with a wave of his right hand: "Search for me!" ”
"Yes!" Those few people immediately heard the order, and they were about to rummage through the cabinets in the hall.
"Wait!" The old shopkeeper stopped them loudly, and the few people didn't move, just looked at the shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper He saw that the old shopkeeper's eyes were no longer cloudy and out of focus, and a trace of surprise immediately flashed on his face, and he blurted out: "Yo! Shopkeeper Xue, you can see it with your eyes! ”
"Hmm." The old shopkeeper nodded slowly: "I only recovered today, but I didn't expect to see this kind of thing as soon as my eyes were good." His voice sank.
"He~" Shopkeeper He smiled contemptuously: "You can't blame me for this!" Who told you to sell asparagus in your shop? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Hai took the lead in shouting: "What is the shopkeeper, what is stealing?" We, Baicaotang, would never do such an unseemly thing! Any kind of herb we sell is a document signed with the herb dealer. ”
"That's a coincidence, and so is our store." Shopkeeper He glanced at him, lowered his head and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This is the document signed by our Yong'an Hall and the Shenghong Medicinal Materials Caravan, you can take a good look with your eyes open." After speaking, he threw the paperwork on Xiao Hai's chest and looked up at him.
As long as there is a pharmacy in the capital, there is no one who does not know the Shenghong medicinal material caravan, and the reason is that this caravan almost monopolizes the source of medicinal materials for every pharmacy in the capital.
In this case, in order to maintain their competitiveness, many pharmacies will choose to sign a written agreement with them, stipulating that some medicinal materials can only be sold to them. And according to Shopkeeper He, Tiandong's medicinal materials are in the documents signed between their Yong'an Hall and the Shenghong medicinal material caravan.
Xiao Hai stretched out his hand to catch it, held back his anger and looked at the documents with Xiao Yiran and the others.
