Chapter 53: Suddenly
The merchants of Mr. Dong's family dispersed in twos and threes, and today's medicine meeting was over.
Everyone sighed, laughed, cursed, and cleaned up the stalls.
Compared with others, the biggest business done today is naturally Gu Ba Niang, although only this one business comes to the door, but the price is equivalent to a day's business, of course, the most important thing is that she is the only one to open in this medicine fair.
"It's okay now, eldest sister," the young man's face was red with excitement, "Even the merchants who came to buy Master Dong's medicine have bought our medicine, and now we are famous..."
The smile on the corner of Gu Bainiang's mouth has not faded, looking at the envious eyes around her, she doesn't dare to say that she is famous, but at least it will be better than before.
She threw away the money in her hand, and the medicine store finally had a surplus until it opened.
It's just that why do these people look at themselves and point fingers?
"Is this the one?" A pharmacist in a flowered robe squinted at him, as the flesh on his smiling face was crumbled together.
"Hey, she's a pretty little lady." The fat man smiled and said to the people around him, "... Lao Wang is so old, and he still has this romantic mind..."
There were many noisy people, and their voices were low, and Gu Bainiang couldn't hear what was said, only to see those people who walked by in twos and threes looking at her strangely, and then burst into laughter.
Their laughter and expressions made Gu Bainiang very uncomfortable.
"Let's pack up too, let's go back." She bowed her head and commanded the young man.
"Hey, little lady...", a glossy pharmacist came over, squeezing his eyebrows and reaching out to grab the medicine in front of him, "What's there?.. Is there any secret system of Gong Liu? ….”
Gu Bainiang stopped what she was doing, glanced at him, and said with displeasure: "What does the guest officer want?" ”
"Little lady," the pharmacist grinned, "how do you sell it?" ”
Gu Banniang was furious.
Who is she, she Gu Baniang is the young lady of the Jiankang clan Gu family in the inner house, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiankang powerful Shen family, although she has suffered cold-eyed sarcasm and grievances all her life, and no one has given her some respect, but she has really never been teased in public like this!
"Get out!"
Gu Bainiang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she smashed the dustpan white peony in her hand, and the pharmacist didn't expect this little girl to have a seizure without saying a word, and she hurriedly dodged and retreated a few steps, quite embarrassed.
The crowd laughed.
"Lao Gao, don't look at you like that, don't make a fuss..."Someone laughed loudly and coaxed.
The pharmacist had the heart to say a few cruel words, but he didn't look like Gu Banniang was easy to mess with, and thought that these retail merchants were all local snakes here, so he had to say stupidly: "... How do you do business? Ask the medicine, what kind of attitude .....?"
He shook his sleeves, swept the white peony off his body, pinched it in his hand and looked at it, with a look of disdain, "Look at the white peony cut....don't give it to me for nothing..."
"Don't just get out." The young man scolded, carrying a stool and about to step forward.
The medicine merchant hurriedly walked away, not forgetting to turn around and throw a sentence, "Ignorant people....vulgar!" ”
The young man spat at him.
The pharmacist joined the team and was patted on the shoulder by several acquaintances and laughed.
“… She doesn't look as good as Lao Wang....this little lady doesn't look down on ......," the group laughed and walked away.
"Eldest sister, these are rough people in the business field, don't take it to heart...", the young man cautiously comforted.
Gu Banniang had calmed down, and she just forgot that she was no longer the Gu Banniang she used to be.
"It's okay," she smiled at the young man, but felt that she was too impulsive.
Although it was a little unpleasant in the end, in general, Gu Bainiang was very happy on this day today, and she was able to sell the medicine in front of Master Dong's door, which was quite a bit of a taste of being able to play with a big knife in front of Guan Gong's door.
Back at Peng's Pharmacy, the door of the pharmacy was closed.
Douhua on the opposite side saw her busy greeting, "Eighteen Niang, Eighteen Niang...."
Gu Bainiang knew that she had something to say, so she hurriedly took a few steps over.
"My mother went back?" Gu Banniang asked hurriedly.
She took the little guy to sell medicine, and the store left Cao alone to watch, Cao recognized the words, the name of the medicine was written on the medicine cabinet, and he would also use the scale, which was enough to deal with the individual customers who came to grab the medicine.
"A letter from your house has arrived, and your mother hurriedly went back after reading it... Douhua said, standing up with a little apprehension on his face.
Letter? Since Gu's father passed away, there have been no people in their family.
"Eighteen Niang, go back and take a look." Douhua hesitated and said, "I don't think it's a good thing....your mother cried when she read the letter.....
Crying? Gu Bainiang was even more surprised, thanked Douhua at the moment, and instructed the young man to put away the medicine and look at the store, and hurriedly ran home.
Before he turned into the alley, he collided with Gu Hai who ran over.
"Brother, you're back too?" Gu Bainiang covered her forehead and asked hurriedly.
"Did you break it?" Gu Hai hurriedly checked her forehead, but was blocked by Eighteen Niang.
"What's wrong with my mother?" She asked anxiously.
Gu Hai sighed, "It's just right for you to come back, go and help my mother pack up her things, and I'll go and say goodbye to my husband....."
When he had finished speaking, he ran away.
Gu Bainiang stood there and froze, packing up her things... Farewell....
What to do when you pack your things? Where to say goodbye?
A gust of autumn wind blew, Gu Bainiang shivered, and then saw that Gu Hai had long since disappeared.
"You can rest assured... Even if you sell this house too quickly, I promise to give you a good price...."
When I walked to the door, I heard Aunt Liu's voice coming from the courtyard.
Gu Bainiang suddenly felt cold all over her body.
How did ..... sell a house go around in circles for so long, or come back to this question?
How so? How can it be?
She slammed open the door, and the movement was too loud, and the two door panels clanged.
Mrs. Liu, who was talking enthusiastically, was startled.
"Not for sale! This house is not for sale! Gu Bainiang shouted in a sharp voice, rushed up and grabbed Liu Niangzi in a few steps, "Say, who wants to buy my house?" Who wants to force us out? Whoever dares to fight this idea, I will let him die a good death! ”
She screamed and sneered and shook Mrs. Liu, who was two times thicker than herself, like a madman.
Liu Niangzi screamed in fright, and the Cao family, who came back to her senses, hurriedly hugged Gu Baniang.
"What's wrong with Eighteen Niang? What's going on? She tried her best to pull her daughter away from Mrs. Liu.
"You get out of here, you get out of here, whoever wants to buy my house, I'll kill him! I'm going to kill him! Gu Bainiang stretched out her hand and pointed at Liu Niangzi, her eyes red and she shouted hoarsely, "Who wants to harm me!" Who wants to hurt me! I want him not to die well, but to die and ruin his reputation......"
This girl of the Gu family is crazy! Mrs. Liu rushed out with a roll.
