Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Chance Encounter in Baicaotang

The Duan family has never been short of money, not to mention the prescription related to the treatment of the locust plague, plus there is a big backer like the prince behind him, after Yi Sinan took out the prescription, Duan Qirui directly gave her a token that could be consumed at will in the entire Daliang country.

The token is a symbol of the nobility of the family, and the merchant prints the small seal hanging on the token on the slip, and takes the seal slip to the money in the name of each family every month to receive the money.

It is precisely because the consumption power of this token is too strong that Duan Qirui is afraid of promoting the atmosphere of the three children in the family, so it is expressly forbidden to get it only after starting a family, but Sinan is an exception, obviously an outsider but got it earlier than the three biological sons of the Duan family, so Duan Qiu often told her behind her back that his father was not a parent.

The shopkeeper of Baicaotang was naturally willing to consume Sinan, and with a smile, he ordered the guy to go down and fill her with the best medicinal materials, and the shopkeeper rubbed his hands, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Miss Duan wants such a large amount of medicinal materials, but she is going to go far away?" ”

Sinan smiled mysteriously: "Guess? ”

Shopkeeper: "......"

She and Mo Yu turned around and walked upstairs to Baicaotang, where there were some basic medicinal materials on the first floor, and the prices were relatively cheap, which could be chosen by the people of the whole city.

The second floor is different, here are placed some precious and rare Chinese herbal medicines, and the flow of people below, the second floor seems extraordinarily quiet, the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs mixed with the incense in the hollow incense burner, giving people an inexplicable peace of mind.

I don't know how elegant it is here, the plain floor is reflected by the candlelight, and there are all kinds of precious medicinal herbs in the display cases around it, but they are samples carved out of wood.

The storage conditions of truly precious medicinal materials are quite harsh, with strict requirements for temperature, humidity, and even light.

The shopkeeper led the two of them all the way to the second floor, smiling with a sign on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Duan, take a look, everything in the display cabinet is in stock." ”

Si Nan's eyes fell on the medicinal materials on the cabinet, and swept them one by one, the types of medicinal materials were no different from the ones she had seen when she came back.

Just as she was choosing, a guy from Baicaotang suddenly ran up from downstairs, he looked a little anxious, lowered his head and whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear, the shopkeeper was startled at first, and then waved his hand to signal him to go down.

After the little guy left, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and walked to Sinan's side, and said with a smile in a slightly apologetic voice: "Miss Duan, I'm really sorry, I have something urgent to deal with over there, you look at it first, if you have a favorite medicinal herb, just tell the guy." ”

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper." Sinan said with a smile, she doesn't like to pick things because someone is pointing at her, but the shopkeeper's departure is contrary to her intentions.

But as soon as the shopkeeper arrived at the staircase, he saw a person coming up from below, the shopkeeper was shocked, and immediately nodded after seeing the person who came, and said with a smile: "Why did Lord Zhang come up, the little one is trying to go down to greet you, I'm really sorry!" ”

"It's okay, I just heard that Baicaotang has recently entered a batch of new medicinal materials, so I thought about taking a look."

A gentle voice came into Sinan's ears, she glanced back, and happened to see the shopkeeper nodding to a man with a lower waist.

And the man is even more handsome and eye-catching, he is dressed in a gorgeous costume, holding a folding fan in his hand, the tassel hanging from the jade belt around his waist sways gently with the pace, the man's every move has a warm and elegant atmosphere, and he bends his eyes slightly when he speaks, but Kai Sinan understands how cold the attitude behind that smile is.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Sinan's mouth suddenly became a little playful, and Mo Yu on the side followed her gaze.

"Cabinet scholar Zhang Zicheng, a well-known official in Kyoto, no wonder he would be flattered like this."

Yu Wenqiu wanted to come to Daliang, so he knew all the officials of the DPRK and China clearly, down to the Jiupin Sesame Official, he knew how many people in the other party's family and how many acres of land they had, not to mention a big official like a cabinet scholar.

"The dignified cabinet scholar actually went to Baicaotang to find some medicinal herbs in person, could it be that the descendants of their family were all raised to be uncles?" Sinan raised his eyebrows and said disappreciatively.

Mo Yu shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know about this, I just know that this adult has been running to Baicaotang frequently since some time ago, and as for what kind of medicine he is asking, I don't know, but it's ......"

Mo Yu cautiously glanced back, and saw that Zhang Zicheng was still talking to the shopkeeper, so he said in a low voice: "However, I know the more exciting inside story, do you want to hear it?" ”

It is said that gossip is a woman's nature, but Sinan has never had the habit of snooping on other people's privacy, but Moyu wrote "I really want to say" on his face, and Sinan couldn't discourage his enthusiasm, so he had to say helplessly: "Let's hear it......"

Mo Yu coughed lightly twice, and his voice was a little lower: "Zhang Zicheng is a capable, born in the aristocracy of the famous city of Daliang, and has become a cabinet scholar at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, although he is not a powerful person in Kyoto, but with his ability, he has also attracted countless officials in the DPRK and China who want to marry their daughters to him, but he has never been married, guess why?" ”

Yanwu Da 6 is similar to ancient China, and men can marry when they are crowned, but this Zhang Zicheng is now twenty-five or six, and it is still a marriage match, which is even older than the older leftover men in modern times, even Sinan was surprised.

She blurted out, "Why?" ”

"Because of your sister, Si Meng."

Well?

Sinan was stunned, her face was full of greetings, although she and Si Meng did not live in the same courtyard, they were in the same mansion, how could she not know that she still had such an anecdote.

Seeing Si Nan's surprised expression, Mo Yu smiled with satisfaction and continued: "It's normal that you don't know, after all, your dantian was broken before and you couldn't cultivate, and the two of them met in the academy and have always regarded themselves as good classmates. ”

"It's just true or fake, it's intriguing." Mo Yu sighed meaningfully.

Sinan is a smart person, and she can sketch out the storyline in just a few words.

"But your sister has more means than you, they have all become relatives, and they can also charm other scholars."

Si Nan glanced at him, and then listened to him continue: "Princess Zhou and King Zhou have been married for three years, and their stomachs have not moved, and there are rumors outside that Zhang Zicheng is looking for medicine to help Si Meng find pregnancy. ”

it? No way!

Sinan's three views were refreshed again, she looked at Moyu with an expression that was struck by thunder, she knew that the ancients were affectionate, but she could do it so well as a spare tire, Zhang Zicheng was still the first one Sinan had ever seen.

The goddess married another man, he guarded himself like jade, the goddess could not conceive her husband's seed, he also had to help find medicine, there was no one before or after.

Just as the two were talking, Zhang Juzheng and the shopkeeper's greetings ended, and the conversation entered the main topic, Si Nan had no intention of listening, but when a key word fell into her ears, she couldn't help but shudder.

"I heard that Baicaotang has recently entered some new medicinal materials." Zhang Zicheng's voice paused, and then said: "Is there a stone cassia this time?" ”

Cassia ...... Stone

Sinan had a cold face, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid this Zicheng is not here to find any fertility medicine." ”

"What do you mean?" Mo Yu looked at her a little blankly, "Then what is he here for?" ”

Sinan sneered: "Grab something." ”

Her white and slender fingers tapped the medicinal materials in the display case, and her voice was a little colder: "Shi Cassia Ming, this is also the medicine I am looking for." ”

Mo Yu's face changed slightly, because he knew that Sinan had come today mainly to purchase medicinal materials for making locust control elixirs.

However, how did Zhang Zicheng know that Cassia Shi was a key medicinal material in the antidote?

"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper hurriedly turned sideways and moved out of the way, pointed to Sinan's side, and said with a flattering smile: "I have already prepared it for the adult, please." ”

The shopkeeper took Zhang Zicheng to Sinan's side, and Shi Cianming's showcase was near Sinan, but she didn't mean to go away.

When the two parties met, Sinan stood with such a big thorn, without any intention of giving in, Zhang Zicheng smiled gently: "This girl, please let me go, the lower official wants the medicinal materials in this display case." ”

Sinan's gaze met the other party directly, frank and fearless, without giving in, she smiled slightly, clear as glass, but cold and terrifying.

"I'm sorry, but that's what I like first."

"This ......" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang couldn't help rubbing his hands, and wondered: "Miss Duan, this is Master Zhang, a cabinet scholar." ”

One is the eldest daughter of the Duan family, and the other is loyal to the court, neither side of which can be offended by his small businessman, but in comparison, he still chooses to favor Zhang Zicheng

In a word, she explained the identity of the other party, and the implication was to ask Sinan to give in, but her next words surprised both of them.

The woman in front of her was smiling, like a pure and harmless sheep, but the words that came out were tingling: "What the shopkeeper said is that I am indeed one order lower than Lord Zhang in terms of status, but this is neither the court nor the official way, why should I back down?" What's more, buying things is first-come, first-served, even if the prince is in front of me today, I have to follow the rules, could it be that Lord Zhang thinks that he is more noble than the prince? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zicheng's gaze deepened a little when he saw Sinan, he thought that he was just an ignorant rich lady, and after throwing out his identity, he would be frightened and retreat, but instead of this, this person was determined to win Shi Cianming.

Zhang Zicheng smiled gently, and his voice was a little tentative: "Miss Duan? ”

"The little woman, surnamed Duan Mingning, is the daughter of the Duan family." Sinan Tan introduced his identity frankly, but took in the changes in the other party's eyes.

And, when he heard the girl in front of him say that she was Duan Ning, the daughter of the Duan family, the smile on Zhang Zicheng's face stiffened significantly, and his dark eyes even brought a little coldness.

Duan Ning? She is the one who won Princess Zhou by dancing with a sword at the palace banquet last night?

Yesterday's palace banquet, he excused himself to be sick and didn't go at home, and the next morning he got the news that Duan Ning, the lost daughter of the Duan family, was a blockbuster at the banquet, not only won the princess Zhou with a sword dance, but also attracted the admiration of many powerful sons in Kyoto.

Now it seems that the rumors are really not groundless!
