Chapter 8 Encountering Second Mrs. Zheng by chance

Ye Tiandong pointed to the big bookstore in front of him and asked his sister: "This store looks very big, why don't you go in and have a look?" …… Hey? Zheng Jia's calligraphy and painting ...... "Ye Tiandong seems to have thought of something.

"Sister, I heard my mother say that the little son of the Zheng family in Jincheng is your future husband's family, isn't this Zheng family? Then we should go in and have a look......" said as he said and went inside.

Ye Chanyi grabbed the little guy and didn't know how to explain it to him, so she had to ask: "When my father was a doctor in the Beijing Tai Hospital, was the third uncle very good to our family?"

Ye Tiandong nodded, and Ye Chanyi asked again: "After my father was convicted, when he came back to Jincheng, how did the third uncle treat us?" The same is true with the Zheng family's relatives, the two families were right before, and now we are guilty of crimes, do you say that with the current status of the Zheng family, will you still agree to this family matter? ”

How can they say that without believing it! The master said that people can't stand without faith, they are like this, how will my sister be a person in the future?! Ye Chanyi didn't expect this younger brother to be so smart, he was thorough at all, and he thought about himself everywhere.

Her heart was warm, so she held her brother's hand and said: "What will happen to the Zheng family in this marriage, they haven't made a clear statement yet, but it should be eight or nine and ten." But I don't like this kind of blind marriage and dumb marriage, two people who don't know each other at all, don't understand, what happiness is there to be tied together like this! ”

Ye Tiandong couldn't help but think carefully about his sister's words, as if what he said was quite reasonable. Ye Chanyi smiled, pulled him to continue walking, and at a corner, he saw a brand-new storefront, on which the words of the Fang Family Bookstore were written.

Ye Chanyi and her younger brother looked at each other and smiled, and they all stepped into the bookstore.

Relying on their memory, the two of them selected two medical books with a similar thickness and appearance, and went out the door.

Now they are short of silver needles, and they don't want their future enemies to make money, so they all avoid the Zheng family's pharmacy to buy it. However, the two of them were sweating profusely and didn't buy it, and others asked them to go to Zheng's house to ask......

Even the Fang family pharmacy didn't have it, after all, the Fang family had only set foot in the medicinal materials business in the past two years, and in general, they really couldn't fight the Zheng family.

The two had no choice but to come to the Zheng family pharmacy in despair, and there was a pair of gold-painted couplets hanging on the door of the store, "I just want people in the world to be disease-free, and I am not afraid of medicine and dust on the shelf"!

The two walked in, there were really a lot of people inside, there were many people lined up at the old doctor, and the guys at the counter were also orderly, busy but not chaotic......

"Do you want to take medicine or ask for a doctor?" A young man of half age asked them enthusiastically.

Ye Chanyi couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart, this Zheng family really deserves its reputation.

"We want to help the master at home buy a set of silver needles, I heard you have it here." She said with a smile.

"Silver needles? Wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper! I've only been here for a month and I don't know much about something! The young man explained embarrassedly, and then led the person to the counter and asked a middle-aged man who was facing the ledger.

"Shopkeeper Lu, this girl asked if there were any silver needles in our store?"

The shopkeeper raised his head, smiled and said to Ye Chanyi: "The girl is in the right place, this Jincheng has silver needles for sale in our Zheng family pharmacy, and according to the different materials, there are several different prices for silver needles......"

As a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Ye Chanyi naturally knows that the so-called silver needle is just a saying, which is generally copper and iron needle. Even if it contains silver, it is not made of pure silver, but mostly contains copper, tin and other metals to increase the hardness.

Most of the silver needles used in modern times are stainless steel needles. In ancient times, the easiest way to make silver needles was to pour it into a liquid and draw wire on iron and stone slabs, and then modify it after cooling, but the yield was low and the thickness was not easy to guarantee.

Later, there was an iron plate drilling and wire drawing, which was a method of making iron wire from abroad. As far as the above two methods are concerned, it is also necessary to grind and polish after cooling, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, in some places, bamboo and wooden needles are also used.

Ye Chanyi smiled and said to the shopkeeper Lu: "The troublesome shopkeeper will bring me the sterling silver nine needles!"

"Okay" Shopkeeper Lu turned around and shouted to the guy who was running errands: "Pillar, go to the Tianzi shelf and take out the silver needle of the sterling silver."

Ye Chanyi looked at the nine needles with different thicknesses and lengths on the red silk cloth, and couldn't help but feel a little stage frightened, I don't know if the silver in the purse is enough?

"May I ask the shopkeeper, how much silver do you need for this set of silver needles?" Ye Chanyi asked calmly.

"This girl, this silver needle is finely made, it is made by Chen Mazi's family, and the small shop is not called much, five taels of silver, you see ......"

Ye Chanyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, touched the few pieces of broken silver in her purse, and said to the shopkeeper Lu with a smile: "The shopkeeper, the thing is a good thing, but after all, there are only nine needles, can you see if it can be cheaper, my master is also a person in the apricot forest, he has been kind and charitable all his life, and he has not given me so many silver taels, can you see if it can be cheaper?"

“…… This, that ......" Seeing that Shopkeeper Lu was about to loosen his mouth, who knew that he would bite the gold halfway, and a voice full of contempt sounded behind Ye Chanyi: "Shopkeeper Lu!"

Ye Chanyi looked back and saw a gorgeously dressed woman, a mother-in-law with a serious expression next to her, followed by two maids with things in their hands......

Shopkeeper Lu had already walked out of the counter and bowed respectfully to the woman: "Say hello to the second lady!"

The second lady of the Zheng family didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper Lu, but looked at Ye Chanyi with slanted eyes, and said domineeringly: "Our old Zheng family's business is all over Daqi, everything in the store is at a fixed price, and it's not the barefoot traveling doctor outside, who sells lame goods, you can bargain casually!"

Ye Chanyi looked at the second lady of the Zheng family coldly, and then threw the five taels of silver in her purse on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper Lu: "Trouble the shopkeeper to help me wrap up the things."

The second lady of the Zheng family looked at Ye Chanyi proudly, there is a kind of momentum in my territory, and I have the final say.

Ye Chanyi put away her things, and then looked at Second Mrs. Zheng with a smile: "The older generation in Jincheng knows that before the Zheng family made a fortune, the ancestor seemed to be just a traveling doctor pushing a wheelbarrow to sell plasters. We people in the apricot forest have a good saying, the doctor is benevolent! As long as he has a benevolent heart, whether he is a court doctor or a traveling doctor, he is a meritorious person. ”

The second lady Zheng didn't expect this girl who didn't seem to be a little dirty, so she couldn't get off the stage in a few words, and suddenly her face was red and white, and the mother-in-law next to her saw that the master was angry, and she was anxious to invite the merit, stepped forward in two steps, pointed at Ye Chanyi and scolded: "Where did the rough girl from the countryside come out, full of feces, dare to contradict our second lady!" Beware of the old woman smashing your stinky mouth! ”
