Chapter Seventy-Eight: Shock

Standing on the street of Yaoxing with a bamboo basket on her back, Gu Bainiang was still a little hesitant, the old man had already stopped following her, saying that she was going out for a few days, and she might not come back when she came, maybe she wouldn't come back in her life....

Such an unreliable old man....

She turned her head and looked at the toad crisp basket behind her, just this toad, she didn't have to offer her own price, just waiting for the other party to speak?

Still picking up the biggest medicine store?

Will they blow themselves out?

Tong Shende, the largest medicine store in Jiankang City, but also one of the best medicine stores in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old number is in Yuzhou, and now Yuzhou is no longer the territory of the Great Zhou, but Dajin, how many wealthy families are wiped out with Dajin's iron horse, but this Tong Shende was unharmed in the war, Yuzhou's medicine number is still open, and Su'an's medicine store is also prosperous.

A medicine store with no officials and no lords, doing this can be regarded as the pinnacle of business.

Looking at the restrained but noble gatehouse, Gu Bainiang was bold and stepped forward.

Anyway, she received a post from his family saying that he would take her medicine, so let's see if it's a joke or not.

There are not many people in the medicine store, but all of them have extraordinary bearing, and they are big merchants at first glance.

A young man came over with a smile on his face.

"The little lady is buying medicine?" He asked, "Do you take the medicine as prescribed or do you order it?" ”

"No, I'm selling medicine." Gu Banniang said, taking down the back basket behind her and putting it on the table.

The young man was a little surprised, but the smile on his face did not diminish.

"Little lady, are you a concocted medicinal herb?" He laughed.

"Yes." Gu Bainiang nodded, her face was calm and indifferent, but her heart was like a drum.

The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth was even stronger.

"Little lady, this is? How to sell? He smiled, already with a bit of banter on his face.

I don't know who teased this little lady to play, and even asked her to come to us to sell medicine with Shende.....

Seeing that the young man reached out to shake the bamboo basket, Gu Bainiang reached out and held it down.

"Go and see your stewards." She said lightly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, looking at the little girl's expression, so calm, it didn't seem to be a joke.

"Little lady, are you medicine?" He couldn't help but ask, some people will take rare and precious yam materials to sell.....

"Toad." Gu Bainiang replied.

The young man couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Bainiang glanced at him, "Go ahead, show it to your steward." ”

"Little lady, you better play elsewhere." The young man couldn't cry or laugh, and showed the toad to the steward, wasn't that looking for a scolding.

"How?" Gu Bainiang looked at him and said lightly, "You sent a famous post, but you are teasing me?" ”

"Famous post?" The young man was stunned.

This little girl was indifferent from beginning to end, and he was a little unsure.

"My surname is Gu, I'm here to deliver medicine, you go and ask, do you still want your family? If not, I'll go. Gu Banniang said.

Surname Gu? The young man frowned, looked at the little lady again, and was finally calmed by her calm momentum.

"I'll ask you." He said he felt a little unbelievable about his decision.

"Go ahead." Gu Bainiang nodded, and sat down on the rattan chair used to entertain guests on the side.

Looks like a big deal...

The young man picked up the medicine basket, looked at her again, and muttered in his heart, not noticing that the little lady's legs hidden under her skirt were trembling slightly.

People in and out of the lobby will cast a curious glance, and in just a cup of tea, Gu Bainiang feels very difficult.

Just as she was a little impatient to get to her feet, a chubby ball of flesh rolled out of the carved door beside her.

"Gu Niangzi Gu Niangzi..."The person who came shouted incoherently, and stood in front of her with Gu Eighteen Niang's shocked speed.

This is a big fat man, just like a ball wrapped in fine satin, so that Gu Bainiang didn't find his face at first sight.

"Gu Niangzi, why did you come in person... Something, let people pass on a word, I'll go see you in person..."Yuanqiu's excited voice changed tone.

Gu Bainiang finally shifted her attention from the figure of the person who came to him to his words.

"You... Know me? She couldn't help but ask.

"Gu Niangzi laughed.." Yuanqiu wiped his sweat and smiled, this smile, the eyes that were so easy to open were gone.

Is that post true? Gu Banniang was speechless in shock.

"Gu Niangzi, hurry up, please inside... I've already sent someone to invite the eldest master..."Yuanqiu bowed and said.

It's a really hard move for him to do.

"No, I have something to do." Gu Bainiang said lightly.

Her heart was so shocked by the enthusiastic attitude of this ball that she was about to jump out of her throat, and if it weren't for her weak legs, she would have pulled out her feet and would have left.

Seeing her say this, Yuanqiu hurriedly said yes.

"Gu Niangzi, this is medicine money, do you think you are still satisfied?" Yuanqiu asked with a smile.

Saying this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand, took a tray from the young man behind him, and brought over the neatly stacked silver.

Gu Banniang looked at the silver, and was even more speechless.

Fifty pieces of toad crisp for ten ingots of silver.......

And Gu Bainiang didn't speak, and fell into Yuanqiu's eyes, she was a little nervous, is she dissatisfied with this price?

"Gu Niangzi, do you want to change it to gold leaf for you....." He said tentatively with a flattering smile.

If it is replaced by gold leaf, then ten ingots of silver are not ten ingots of silver.

"No need." Gu Bainiang's voice was a little dry, and she stood up holding on to the handrail.

Yuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the young man, "Don't hurry up and put it up." ”

The young man hurriedly took the money bag.

When the heavy bag was in her hands, Gu Bainiang only felt short of breath, and she finally couldn't help but look up at the round ball.

"Is my medicine really worth the price? You're not kidding, are you? No mistakes, no small words," she asked.

Panic appeared on Yuanqiu's face when he heard this, and he tried to open his eyes.

"No, no, don't dare, don't dare.. Gu Niangzi, this price is negotiable, Gu Niangzi just asks.." He laughed busily.

"No," Gu Banniang saw that he misunderstood what he meant, and then looked at the more and more people gathered around, the heavy money bag in his hand became heavier and heavier, and remembered the old man's instructions before he came, and felt that there must be something else hidden in his heart, but it was definitely not the time to ask now.

She said no more, and said goodbye.

"Gu Niangzi Gu Niangzi, our eldest master is here..."Yuanqiu was busy leading the way in front of her, and said respectfully, ".. Gu Niangzi, Gu Niangzi... If necessary, send someone to call us....Gu Niangzi Gu Niangzi... Our eldest man wants to visit on a certain day, I don't know if it is convenient for Gu Niangzi? ”

Gu Bainiang had already walked away in his long-winded words, and as soon as she left Tong Shende's sight, she hugged the money bag and ran wildly.

Hell yes.....

She must be hell......

There must be something strange about this

Gu Bainiang looked at the money bag in her hand, her brain was spinning rapidly, and she wanted to sort out a clue.

Thinking of the old man's instructions, a strange smile hung on his face as he spoke......

Could it be that this medicine is weird? This old man is from a background in making fake medicines, should he have unknowingly taught her to do tricks in medicine these days, such as... Ecstasy? People who get their own medicine will be crazy and don't care about money?

This is too ridiculous Gu Bainiang shook her head, it is ridiculous or not, you will know if you try again.

"Lingyuan, Lingyuan.." She shouted.

The young man who had been following her stood up a little depressed, well, he knew that his kung fu was not very good......

"Go, buy me some medicinal herbs, and ask for raw herbs.." Gu Banniang grabbed a silver ingot and threw it to him.

The boy took the heavy amount of silver.

"Want medicinal herbs?" He asked.

"No matter, you can buy whatever you want" Gu Bainiang waved her hand.

The boy turned and went.

Qingfeng Building.

The best hall on the third floor is full of people, this is the fixed time of the family banquet of the Dayousheng family, it can be seen from the dress of everyone in the room that this is the most important person in the family, this month's family banquet has been postponed for several days, attracting a lot of speculation in the family.

The shopkeepers who came and went brought the food and fish, but it was not placed on the table in front of everyone, but put it aside.

At this point, everyone's eyes fell on a table in the middle of the hall.

This is a small table made of jade, with a light green in the milky white, which is extremely elegant.

On this table, there were more than a dozen yellow or black dried medicinal herbs, which destroyed the beauty of this jade table at once.

But no one protested, but stared at the dozen or so ugly medicinal herbs with enthusiasm.

His gaze swept over the demeanor of everyone in the hall, and the rich brown-clothed old man sitting on the main seat showed a trace of solemnity on his face.

“… What do you think? He asked.

"Fourth brother." An old man on his left pondered for a moment and said, "I'm clumsy, looking at these Liu Gong's medicines, some of them are similar, but some are not like..."

The old man nodded, his eyes also on the medicinal herbs.

"Yes, so do I." He said in a deep voice, "But I've seen the simmered kudzu that Boholdo bought... That's the real thing. ”

"Master, since it is the hand of Liu Gong's disciple, it is a little different from Liu Gong's medicine, which is understandable." Someone said.

There was a low murmur of discussion in the hall.

"Chaoyang," the old man in Tsing Yi suddenly turned his gaze to the right.

Among the five or six older people on the right sat a young man who was no more than twenty-three or fourteen, and compared to the young people of his age in the hall who were crowded at the back of the hall, it was evident that his status in the family was not ordinary.

The young man bowed his head, and when he heard the inquiry, he turned his gaze, and his face was as clear as the stars.

"Grandpa." He replied as he sat upright.

"What do you think?" The old man looked at this grandson, unabashedly the affection in his eyes, and asked.

"King Baohetang personally sent the funeral...."

“… There were a total of six families that first sent a famous post to this Gu lady.. They are Baohetang, Tongshende, Hetaichang, Yongfengxing, Wanshenglong, Sanyicheng ......"

As the names of this series of medicine shops were spoken, the people in the hall looked even more solemn and talked in low voices.

The young man did not directly answer the old man's question, but the old man nodded when he heard it.

"Yes, Chaoyang is right..."He said with plastic surgery, "I believe that none of these people who sent the famous post will joke about their century-old reputation...."

"Grandpa, I've already sent your name post." Xin Chaoyang said.

The old man glanced at him, "Chaoyang, why did you take my name card?" Now we have a lot of life and it's your father who is in charge..."

The middle-aged man sitting across from the young man had a calm face and a hint of a smile, obviously not dissatisfied with what his son had done.

"Grandpa," Xin Chaoyang turned the wine glass in his hand with a smile on his face, and said, "Grandpa, as an old man in the medicine industry, would like to congratulate Liu Gong's disciple on becoming a teacher, this is not a bad thing, nor is it rude, so, even if he recognizes the wrong person, it is not, this is purely a concern for the juniors." ”

"Not bad" the old man laughed and looked at his eldest grandson with appreciation.

The more I look at it, the more I like it, this grandson, whether it is appearance or temperament, is definitely the best among people, of course, the most important thing is his wit, which is still not to be underestimated in the family.

Xin Chaoyang, who is only twenty-four years old this year, has the calmness of not being with the age, has lived a superior life since childhood, but is not arrogant or impatient, whether it is low-key and humble among the elders or peers, there are many rights and wrongs in the family, but there are only a handful of people who express dissatisfaction with Xin Chaoyang.

Such a person, you can't be jealous even if you want to be jealous, and jealousy of him will make you more ashamed.

"We are neither leading nor lagging behind, not to mention that it is the second uncle who is in charge of our family now, so that if something goes wrong in the future, we will not be too deeply involved..."

"But..." Xin Chaoyang's expression was gentle, and a trace of doubt appeared on the corner of his eyebrows.

"Chaoyang, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." The old man said, and a sound of discord came into his ears, making him frown, and he glanced into the hall with a stern expression.

Because they all have to listen to Chaoyang, the discussion in the hall is quiet, and the slight snoring can be heard clearly.

Sitting at the end of the crowd, the young master in brocade, who was sleeping soundly against the pillar, was suddenly knocked down.

"What? Scattered? He woke up, reached out and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and shook his head.

There was a low laugh all around, the old man coughed heavily, and the young master in brocade immediately shrank his head and hid himself behind the crowd.

This episode did not bring any displeasure to Xin Chaoyang, and his expression was still the same, with a faint smile.

“… In the past few days, this Gu lady has taken out a large number of medicines, and she has gone to almost every house on the medicine store street, and she has not favored any one of them at all....." He continued, "But, strangely, he didn't go to our house.....

That's weird... There was a discussion in the hall all of a sudden, and the name card was also sent, their family was also on the medicine store street, and the two medicine stores next to them were all gone, so there was no reason to spare them?

"Does this Gu lady have an opinion on us?" The old man frowned, his expression a little solemn.

This is not good, not to mention the loss of business if she does not cooperate with such a big pharmacist, just because she does not sell her own medicine, it is enough to lose her reputation.

Everyone can buy her medicine, but she doesn't sell it to you, what does that mean?

Everyone in the hall realized this, and their expressions were a little uneasy, and they began to talk in a low voice again.

"I'm asking," Xin Chaoyang said, looking at his father, "... It seems that my father is going to visit Gu Niangzi in person..."

Dayousheng's current family, Xin Chaoyang's father, the second master of the Xin family, nodded when he heard this.

"That's good, that's exactly how it should be." He said, "However, where is this Gu Niangzi's house? Should we go to the Gu family to visit the patriarch first or ..... we don't know her after all, wouldn't this be ......abrupt if no one introduced us?"

"Who?" The young master in brocade who was sitting behind the person suddenly spoke out at this time, when he heard the word Gu Niangzi, the face of a charming girl immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help wiping his saliva, "Gu family? I recognize, I recognize"

...
