Chapter Seventy-Nine: Puzzle Clearing

Chapter Seventy-Nine

The young master of Jinyi shook the person next to him and said, but the voice was too loud, and the people in the hall heard it.

Someone laughed lowly, and the old man and the others looked very ugly.

"Chao Ling," the old man glared and shouted.

The young master in brocade pouted and shrunk his head and sat down.

"Young Master Ling has a wide range of friends, maybe he really knows each other..."Someone laughed.

This drew even louder laughter from the young people.

"Bah, I just recognize it, isn't it the young lady of the Gu family's silk village, you dare to say that you don't recognize it? Oh, you may know people, but people may not recognize you...."Xin Chaoling snorted and whispered to the person next to him who was laughing at him.

"Cousin." A young man pushed him with a smile, "It's not Miss Gu from Silk Village... And for half a day, you didn't hear what Grandpa said...."

How can I hear it, I just woke up... Xin Chaoling snorted.

"Now I'm talking about Miss Gu who can make medicine...."Someone continued.

Xin Chao Linghu's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered to shout loudly: "Can you make medicine?" I recognize it, I recognize it."

The voice was louder, interrupting the old man who was talking to a few old men, and he raised his eyebrows and glared.

"Chao Ling" Xin Liansheng shouted with a heavy face, "Get out." ”

Xin Chaoling was still very afraid of his father and grandfather, but he felt wronged, stood up, and said as he walked out: "I said I wouldn't come, you had to let me come, and you drove me out....I said I knew, but you still don't believe it... I really recognize that little lady of the Gu family... That day, she went to our medicine shed on Jiutang Street to sell medicine....."

He muttered to the door, and was about to push the door, when he heard Chaoyang shouting slowly.

This half-brother is too dazzling, he can hide as far as he can on weekdays, and listening to him speak at this time, Xin Chaoling's first thought is to speed up his pace.

"Fifth brother, come back." Xin Chaoyang stood up and shouted.

Seeing the eldest grandson say this, the old man immediately followed and called Xin Chaoling.

Isn't this unsuccessful kid going to get into trouble out there again? No mistakes in many words

"Big brother.." Xin Chaoling reluctantly turned around and answered with his head drooping.

"You just said? A lady surnamed Gu came to our house to sell medicine? Xin Chaoyang walked out a few steps, looked at him and asked.

Seeing that the eldest brother, who had always been worshiped as a god, believed his words, Xin Chaoling felt a sense of accomplishment, and he proudly rushed behind him to watch him throw a smile lively,

"That's right, just a few days ago, that Gu Niangzi went to our shop, selling it? By the way, Toad...."He said triumphantly, "I don't believe it, you ask Lao Yang in the shop on Jiutang Street...."

As soon as these words came out, the room was full of surprise and joy.

"Is that true?" Xin Chaoyang asked, taking a few steps forward.

"Of course," Xin Chaoling looked like you don't underestimate me, "She's Gu Xi'er's sister, isn't she?" Her name is. Kindness.. Called..."

Young Master Ling used all the strength of his life to rummage in his head, and finally a flash of inspiration appeared, and the voice of the girl Huang Li echoed in his ears again.

“… Eighteen Niang" he raised his hand and shouted, grinning happily, "Call Gu Eighteen Niang"

A little fluctuation appeared on the face of the always indifferent Xinchao, and he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his face to look at his grandfather and father.

"That's right, this Gu Niangzi is called Eighteen Niang..."He said with a smile.

It's not that Gu Niangzi just doesn't sell them medicine, and according to time, they are still one of the first few.

Several of the old people present were all happy.

"And then?" For the first time, the old man looked at his dispensable grandson and asked.

"Later, I...."Xin Chaoling was the focus of attention for the first time, and he was a little incoherent with excitement, he opened his mouth and said, when the words came to his mouth, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, he shivered.

"What's wrong? Tell me about it? Is it a low price for Gu Niangzi? Xin Liansheng glared at his son and asked.

Xin Chaoling suddenly felt that the taste of being noticed was really uncomfortable.

"Daddy.." He stuttered a little, with a bit of flattery to his father, ".. This Gu lady.. Is it human? How does it look like everybody is.. Very concerned...."

"She is the apprentice of Jinzhou pharmacist Liu Bucai," Xin Chaoyang said lightly, glancing at his half-brother, his heart suddenly sank, "The only apprentice." ”

No matter how bad Xin Chaoling is, he is also a child of the medicine family, and he will never ask the stupid question of who Liu Bucai is, and he also knows that this great pharmacist means this to their medicine shop.....

"What the hell?" Xin Chaoyang looked at him and asked.

At this time, it has been close for nearly a year, the weather is extremely cold, although the restaurant is said to be burning a brazier, warm as spring, but it is not as if people are in the hot summer, Xin Chaoling looked at Xin Chaoyang a few steps away, and suddenly sweated profusely.

His eldest brother was dressed in a plain white robe, a hosta brocade belt, and a gentle smile, he stood there, with a slender figure, and a smile and a glance were chic and elegant, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel good.

But for Xin Chaoling, since he was a child, as soon as he got close to this brother, he felt that there was a cold wind blowing all over his body.

“.. Afterward... Later....she didn't sell anymore.. Just left..."Xin Chaoling stammered, the sweat on the tip of his nose falling down drop by drop.

"Is that all?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Xin Chaoyang looked at him, his expression was still gentle, and his tone was still indifferent.

But Xin Chaoling felt as if two sharp arrows had pierced his legs, and his figure couldn't help but stagger.

The old man and Xin Liansheng also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and they both stood up immediately.

"You.. You son of a. . . Are you.. Isn't it offensive to Gu Niangzi..."Xin Liansheng was a little angry.

He still knows the virtue of his son.

"That's not as good as this Gu Niangzi, but it's just that it's far from Xi'er...."Xin Chaoling was busy washing his innocence for his taste.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man's sharp voice.

"What the hell is going on then?"

Xin Chaoling was trembling, he didn't dare to be verbose, lowered his head and said, "I didn't do it either... It is.. A little.. In terms of price, I ....." Saying this, he raised his head and looked at his grandfather and father flatteringly, "Grandpa, Dad, I don't recognize her... Let's do business, naturally we have to negotiate the price, isn't it....how can she say that we will buy it if she sells it..."

It's the same reason, about Gu Niangzi's exit from the mountain, it is only circulated among the high-level, and everyone thinks that this Gu Niangzi is naturally like all pharmacists, making medicines at home, and she is going to make medicines, so let people send a message to the major medicine stores, where would you have thought that she would walk the streets and alleys like a loose medicine dealer.

As the saying goes, those who don't know are not to blame, it is normal to negotiate the price, if this Gu Niangzi annoys their family because of this, it is a little unreasonable...

The old man and Xin Liansheng's expressions softened slightly.

Xin Chaoyang smiled, looked at his brother, and said indifferently: "So, didn't you deliberately embarrass Gu Niangzi in order to please your Xi'er girl?" ”

Xin Chaoling was like a thunderbolt, looking at Xin Chaoyang with his mouth wide open, unable to say a word.

How did he know? Is it possible for this guy to become a real immortal?

Xin Chaoling's expression changed dramatically in an instant.

"A few days ago, there was a lively incident in the Gu family on Yunli Street, this Gu Niangzi's family and her uncle's family had a very unpleasant quarrel, and it can be said that they have turned their faces...."Xin Chaoyang smiled softly and looked at Xin Chaoling, "It's unfortunate that this Gu Niangzi and the fifth brother Xi'er girl you know are the uncle and sister......

There was silence in the room, and after a moment the old man's roar erupted, accompanied by the sound of a glass of wine shattering.

"You bastard, who told you to go to the medicine store? Dare to use the medicine store at home to buy laughter and ask for spring, how far is it rolling...... Give me back, go back to Gu Niangzi's house and kneel...... I'm going to break your legs..... it's you bastard who has made us lose face......"

At the same time, Gu Bainiang walked into the house with a big bag, poured the silver in the bag on the bed with a bang, and rolled all over the bed.

Cao, who was doing needlework on the side, jumped in fright, and his face turned pale.

"This... This is? She stammered.

"Silver." Gu Banniang said, took it out of her sleeve again, and took out a handful of gold leaves, "Well, there is gold." ”

Cao's frightened, these days, her daughter goes out early and returns late, is it possible to do bad things...

"Eighteen Niang, where did you come from...", she said this, tears were about to flow out, her hands trembled, and all the needles and threads fell to the ground.

"Mother." Gu Bainiang looked at Cao's appearance, hurriedly grabbed her shoulder, and said with a smile, "I earned it."

In the past few days, she has become much calmer, and even when she walks into a medicine store, they give less, and she still feels a little unaccustomed......

Could it be that this is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift?

"What did you earn? How do you earn it? Still trembling, Cao asked.

"Sell medicine." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Cao Shi looked at her with a strange expression, "Selling medicine? Her face became solemn, "Eighteen Niang, you tell the truth to your mother...."

Gu Bainiang couldn't help laughing, to be honest, she also felt that what she said was not the truth.....

The mother and daughter were talking when there was a knock on the door.

"Isn't there going to be another post? There are not many mistakes," Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Cao Shi glanced at her, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then hurriedly opened the door.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be Peng Yipin, who was dusty, standing outside the door with a big burden on his back.

"Shopkeeper Peng?" Cao was surprised.

Peng Yizhen also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, touched his head and laughed.

"Big lady, this Jiankang City is really big, I searched for a long time to find here....your family is really big.. You people in this big place are weird... I inquired about your house from the street, but they didn't even answer me....."

Gu Bainiang also ran out of the house when she heard the sound, and she was also surprised to see that it was him.

"Shopkeeper Peng, why are you here?" Surprised and delighted, she asked with a smile.

Peng Yizhen laughed, and had the intention to joke a few words about why I was not welcome to come, but when he thought of the identity of the girl in front of him, he was a little timid and didn't dare to say it, so he only touched his head and smiled.

"I'm here to give the little lady, you have the money for medicine." He said, patting his burden, his face red with excitement.

"All of them?" Gu Banniang joked and pointed to the bulging baggage.

"Don't have no rules, Shopkeeper Peng is an elder." Cao smiled and was disgusted.

"Where, where, the eighteen ladies are elders.." Peng said modestly.

Gu Banniang was stunned for a moment and laughed.

"This kid .." Cao Shi couldn't help laughing, looking at Peng Yizhen a little helplessly, this person hasn't seen him for a few days, how to talk is getting more and more interesting, and the fun is a little too big or small.

Sitting down in the house, Gu Bainiang heated the brazier and put it next to Peng Yizhen, and Cao served a bowl of hot tea.

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, you're welcome, you're welcome." Peng stood up and sat down again.

"Walked for a few days, right? There are many words without mistakes, and it's snowing, and it's not easy to walk on the road, right? There are many words without mistakes" Cao Shi gossiped with him, and asked his family if it was okay.

Peng Yizhen answered one by one with a smile, and looked at Gu Bainiang sitting down on the side, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, so he didn't say a word, and took out a bag of money from his arms.

"Lao Peng, I specially sent medicine money to the little lady," he respectfully picked up the money bag.

"Is it really money for medicine?" Gu Bainiang was surprised, and then looked at Peng Yi's movements, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Shopkeeper Peng, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so polite?" ”

"Yes." Peng Yizhen stood up a little unnaturally, looked at Gu Bainiang, and grinned.

He smiled very strangely, just like those people in the medicine shop, Gu Bainiang touched her face thoughtfully, and did not take the money he handed over.

She had already guessed it......

"Those few medicines can be sold for a few dollars, and you still come all the way, not enough for the travel expenses... Cao smiled, but the smile stopped abruptly after Peng opened the money bag.

Gold leaf

At this time, as in previous dynasties, the common nature is copper coins, and then there are silver ingots, and gold coins are naturally available, but they are mostly seen in rewards, and then they are used for settlement between bulk trading houses, for example, Shunhetang used gold coins for bulk purchase and shipment in the later period, of course, Shunhetang in the early stage did not have this scale.

Gold coins are shaped into leaves, commonly known as gold leaves.

"This... Shopkeeper Peng, you mean this. Cao Shi was a little overwhelmed and asked puzzled.

Don't tell her that's the money from selling medicine...

"It's money from selling medicines... Peng Yizhen remembered the scene of that day and was still excited.

And so it was...... Gu Bainiang was a little indifferent.

"Shopkeeper Peng, you tell me the truth, what the hell is going on?" She looked at Peng Yizhen and asked.

"Eighteen Niang, you're still hiding it from me now, it's too much." Peng stared at her with a bit of sullenness.

"I'm hiding it from you?" Gu Banniang said with a smile.

"The disciple of Jinzhou Great Pharmacist Liu Bucai." Peng Yizhen said with some grievances.

"Who?" Gu Banniang said with a smile. felt that he hadn't seen him for a while, and Peng Yizhen became more and more able to laugh.

"You." Peng said with a glare.

"Me?" Gu Bainiang laughed.

Peng didn't speak, puffing out his eyes and laughing at her.

"Shopkeeper Peng, you came all the way to tell me a joke? Thank you so much, I'm so much happier now... The girl smiled, and said in a pretended seriousness.

"You've told people yourself, why do you still say I'm joking," Peng said with a glare.

"What did I tell someone?" Gu Bainiang smiled, thought about it, and suddenly said, "Oh, you said that you sold medicine in front of Master Dong's door that day?" ”

Peng Yizhen nodded.

"I didn't say it casually... Gu Bainiang began to laugh again, "Do you believe this too?" That day, the streets were full of the banner of Master Dong Pharmaceutical, what happened to me under the name of Liu Gong? Again... ”

She has a book of Liu Gong's seventeen methods of concocting medicine that she doesn't know whether it's true or not, and she learned all the medicinal materials from books, so it's not strange to say that Liu Gong is pharmaceutical, right? There are many words without mistakes, but this may not be said well, it seems to be a subconscious thought, and she swallowed the words to her mouth.

"I don't believe it." Peng Yizhen was a little unhappy, this counted, and he didn't tell him the truth, "It's the person who buys the medicine who believes it." ”

"The person who buys the medicine?" Gu Bainiang gradually suppressed her smile, feeling that something seemed to be wrong, "I sold the medicine that day, well, it was simmering kudzu。。。。。。 ”

She paused, could it be that everything that happened now was because of that day.....

...
