When Gu Bainiang carried a basket of herbs down the mountain, the sun was in full bloom, and now she always rushes up the mountain in the early morning to collect medicine, and then spends half a day at home to clean the system, and then goes to the mountain with Cao's in the evening, Cao's firewood and she collects medicine, so that she can guarantee to go to Hezhong County every four or five days to earn more money.

Walking slowly along the street, after seeing a bookstore, she habitually stopped, and did not enter the store, but stood still in front of the stall outside, wiping her sweat while picking up the medicinal herbs placed in the bottom corner to concoct the canon.

"Huh?" She made a move only to find that the book she was going to read was not lying in the same place as before, but instead a book of strange stories.

Gu Bainiang's eyes swept twice, and then she saw the book in the other corner, could it be that someone also read this book? When she first saw the book, it was already covered with dust from the streets, and it was evident that no one had turned it over for a long time.

"Little lady, which one do you like?" The young man's salty voice sounded in front of him.

"I'll take a look..."Gu Bainiang lowered her head and said, her voice was a little weak, in fact, she didn't have the money to buy any of them, she just came to read the book.

There is no way, she can't always rely on a vision to sell.

Endured the contemptuous eyes of the young man above her head, Gu Bainiang tiptoed over to take the classic, turned to the page she saw last time, and quickly fell into a trance, reading it and quickly writing it in her head, waiting to go home and copy it down.

After being interrupted five or six times by the young man's impatient cough, Gu Banniang reluctantly put down the book, calculating the progress, it will take about seven or eight days to read it, and after it is finished, she has to slip it all over again, as Peng Yizhen said, the attention to concocted medicinal materials is too big, and a life-saving medicine with the wrong details can become a deadly poison, she must remember it accurately.

Ignoring the young man's disdainful eyes, she picked up the medicine basket and walked home, this matter is not authentic for her, and when the family is rich in the future, she will definitely come over to buy two more books.

"Eighteen Niang, Eighteen Niang..."

Gu Bainiang turned around and saw that it was Douhua who came over with a burden, and she was carrying two tofu baskets on her shoulders, but she had a different flavor when she walked swaying.

"Laughing at what?" Douhua caught up with her, and when he saw her smiling, he asked.

"Sister Douhua really deserves the name Tofu Shih-Shih..."Gu Banniang lowered her voice and smiled.

"You don't learn good things from them!" Douhua slapped her with a little shyness, "Look at me and tell the eldest lady to go." ”

Gu Bainiang smiled and said to forgive, Douhua was not really annoyed, and took her arm and walked together.

"So the price is really good?" Douhua was relieved and happy to see that she had picked so many medicinal herbs, "It's really worth walking so far..."

Speaking of Nunu's mouth, ".. He deserves that the shopkeeper of Zhou does not know the goods.. In the future, he will come to you and beg you, and you will not sell it to him. ”

Gu Banniang pursed her lips and smiled, and Douhua asked her if the bazaar in Hezhong County was fun, there were not many people, and whether the new things were good, Gu Banniang answered them one by one, and as she was talking, two people stood in front of her and blocked the way.

The second daughter, who was talking happily with her head down, looked up in surprise and saw two women standing in front of her, one of them in an emerald green gauze skirt, with beaded flowers and bright eyes, and the other timidly dressed up as a maid.

Gu Bainiang didn't recognize them, and she was a little puzzled.

Douhua recognized it, the smile on his face disappeared quickly, and he looked at the girl and said lukewarmly: "Miss Zhou, where are you going?" Why is the road blocked? ”

The person who came was Zhou Liniang, the only daughter of the shopkeeper of Qianjintang Zhou, and she was not annoyed when she heard Douhua's words, but smiled sweetly at them.

"Sister Douhua is good...."Her gaze fell directly on Gu Banniang, "This is Miss Gu...."

A little shame appeared on his face as he spoke, and he lowered his head to salute, "....Miss Gu....Liniang will make amends for your father for your sins...."

Gu Bainiang also knew who she was at this time, and she didn't dare to be polite slightly, but Miss Zhou was serious.

"I also listened to my father afterwards, and it was my slave who had no way to collide with Miss Gu.." Zhou Liniang's face was resentful and ashamed, and tears flashed as she spoke, "....I have no other relatives to rely on my father, I am busy with business all day long, and I am slack off on discipline, so that I make such an unpleasant scene, and I hope that Miss Gu has a large number of tens of millions of adults, don't let my father have a gap, my father has been instigated by his subordinates...."

In short, I blamed myself, apologized honestly, and Rory said a lot of long-winded things.

Gu Bainiang listened with a smile and didn't interject, her eyes fell on the little girl next to Zhou Liniang, seeing that the girl was also thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was not an apricot, thinking that it was really sold, she was a little stunned.

Of course, she didn't have any affection for Xing'er, but she felt a little pity for the innocent donkey who was killed as a grinder.

In fact, this is really not a big deal, but a deal was not negotiated, not to mention that it was the fault of your shopkeeper Zhou, why be angry with the innocent little girl who has no right to speak.

It can be seen that he is really a villain with no stomach, Gu Bainiang couldn't help sighing.

"That's it, don't you have to apologize happily, we are all businessmen, we know that everyone wants to buy at a low price and go out at a high price when doing business, and it is not a big deal for you to deceive Gu Banniang, but it is not right to let Xing'er come out and scold people, not to mention that you have to frame people for fake medicine...."Douhua rarely saw Zhou Liniang shading in front of him and whispered, and suddenly became interested, and taught her a lesson.

Zhou Liniang nodded shyly and said yes, and then looked at Gu Shibanniang, "That day.. It's true that we're wrong. ”

As she spoke, Gu Bainiang stretched out her hand to support her, and said lightly: "Miss Zhou is polite, forget about the past." ”

Zhou Liniang smiled when she heard this, and took Gu Banniang's hand, "Don't call me Miss Zhou, just call me Liniang....."

Gu Banniang smiled and withdrew her hand.

"Okay, remember to go back and tell your father, it's not wrong to want to make more money, but don't break the rules of our businessmen..."Douhua said with a smile.

Zhou Liniang glanced at her and said yes with a smile, and the trace of disdain that flashed on her face did not escape Gu Banniang's eyes.

"Miss Gu picked up the medicine?" She didn't get out of the way, but still affectionately took Gu Bainiang's hand and spoke, looking at the medicine basket, "This medicine must be collected by our medicine shop." ”

"Why?" Douhua interjected, "Since someone is paying a high price, why must I sell it to you!" also said to apologize for your father, you are also really unreasonable. ”

Zhou Liniang looked embarrassed, couldn't help glaring at Douhua, scolded the little hooves in her heart dozens of times, deliberately went against me, didn't you? There was an apologetic and apprehensive smile on his face, "No, no, I didn't mean that..... I mean... Miss Gu doesn't want to annoy us like this, don't come to the door again......"

She wanted to speak and lowered her head, full of shame and timidity.

"It's not because of this," Gu Banniang smiled, "This is set by others, and I really can't sell it to others." ”

"That's it, at that time, your family didn't want it, did you think that no one wanted Eighteen Niang's medicine? But someone ordered it at a high price..."Douhua also said busily, with a smug face, it was so cool, I had never seen Zhou Liniang's appearance of bowing her head and attaching a small amount.

"Really?" Zhou Liniang smiled happily again, shaking Gu Bainiang's hand, "Then if you have excess in the future, you must give it to us." ”
