Chapter 21: Doctor Mo
I didn't expect that after thousands of years, I would be thought that I couldn't afford to pay, thinking about it, Lu Shenchen felt a burst of grievance.
"Childe, although there are a lot of silver taels in your money bag, it doesn't seem to be enough for these medicinal materials, right?" , the ink shopkeeper said with a hint of vigilance.
glanced at Doctor Mo coldly, stretched out his hand and took it out of his arms, and a necklace carved with gems was held in Lu Shenchen's hand.
"If you mortgage this necklace, can you do it", Lu Shenchen handed the necklace to the shopkeeper Mo and said lightly.
Linking the items, the ink shopkeeper couldn't help but glance carefully. After a while, his expression changed slightly, but it was just fleeting, and even Lu Shenchen didn't notice it.
"How about it, can you not", seeing the ink shopkeeper who had been staring at the necklace, Lu Shenchen was quite impatient.
"Yes, yes, of course you can, as long as Childe is willing to sell me the necklace, I can even provide you with five more copies of these medicinal materials", the ink shopkeeper heard this, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said.
"No need, I'm just temporarily mortgaging the necklace, and I'll come to retrieve it when the time comes," Lu Shenchen's eyes were as calm as deep water.
"It's a shame to say that. It's just that I don't know how I got this necklace, and the old man wants one too", the ink shopkeeper stared at Lu Shenchen tightly in his eyes and said.
"This is my family for generations, how can there be a second one. The ink shopkeeper said and laughed", Lu Shenchen couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
"It's a pity like this, it's just that the son mortgages in my store, there should always be a deadline, if not, the store will not accept the mortgage", the ink shopkeeper said with a frown.
"In this case, I will mortgage it for a month, and within a month, I will bring enough money to take back the necklace", Lu Shenchen took a deep look at the ink shopkeeper and said.
"That's good, that's good, but the words are unsubstantiated, or the words are proof, right?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a smile.
"Then let's make a word to prove it", Lu Shenchen heard this, and felt reasonable, and said softly.
Hearing this, the ink shopkeeper hurriedly turned around, found pen, ink and paper in a drawer, and immediately began to write. In less than a moment, a contract was written out by the ink shopkeeper.
Looking at the handwriting, the ink shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction. He presented the written paper to Lu Shenchen, and said, "Look at how this contract is, if there are no problems, please sign your name."
Putting away the paper, Lu Shenchen looked at it seriously, nodded, took the brush from the ink shopkeeper's hand, and wrote his name with a slight wave.
Picking up the contract, the ink shopkeeper looked at the contract. couldn't help stroking his beard, and said hehe: "It turns out that the son's surname is Lu, and his name is Shenchen." It's been a long time."
"I've signed it, can I take the herbs away?" , Lu Shenchen heard this, and said with a faint expression.
"Yes, yes, of course. It's just such a valuable item, do you need us to help Lu Gongzi send it away", the ink shopkeeper seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said.
"No need, I'll handle it myself", Lu Shenchen said lightly when he heard this.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Mo couldn't help but smile awkwardly, looked at Lu Shenchen's eyes, and hurriedly stepped aside.
Gently wrap the small box containing the herbs in a bag. Lu Shenchen walked towards the door without moving, and after a while, Lu Shenchen's shadow disappeared.
Looking at Lu Shenchen's disappearing back, the ink shopkeeper hurriedly took out the necklace, his eyes shining.
With a flick of his hand, a lean man walked in. looked at the shopkeeper Mo, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Doctor Mo, what are you looking for me, don't you know that I'm worried about Miss's affairs?"
"Look, what is this", the shopkeeper Mo took out the necklace mortgaged by Lu Shenchen as soon as he took it out in his hand.
"Where did you get this, you can see a thin young man", seeing the necklace, the lean man said excitedly.
"Just now, a young man, the medicinal materials he bought from here, did not have enough silver, so he temporarily mortgaged this necklace, but I was very curious, how did the necklace of the young lady run to the young man's body", the ink shopkeeper hurriedly said.
"That's not something that we can figure out, we just need to get things done. Where to live, these young masters and young ladies are concerned. Hearing this, the capable man said with a wry smile.
"By the way, where is the person who mortgaged the youth? I'm just going to take it away, save me the trouble," the lean man continued.
"I just left for a short time, if I chase it now, I should be able to catch up," said the shopkeeper.
"If you don't say it earlier, I'll chase after you", the lean man's face changed slightly, and he immediately hurried outside.
Looking at the eager look of the capable man, the ink shopkeeper gently stroked the necklace in his hand, looking thoughtful.
After waiting for a moment, the lean man walked in dejectedly. I don't look at the look of the ink shopkeeper. sat aside, drank a few cups of tea, and looked mournful and sighing.
"What's the matter, I didn't find it", as if he had known this result for a long time, the ink shopkeeper said with a smile.
"You're still in the mood to say, how should we explain to Miss." , The capable man looked at the look of the ink shopkeeper and said with a slight anger.
"Isn't there this necklace? You can run a monk, but you can't run the temple. Just wait for it to take the bait, so why waste your effort on this", the ink shopkeeper said with a smile when he heard this.
"Doctor Mo, why didn't you say it earlier, I was worried in vain. It's just that you know that the young man is the person that the young lady is looking for, why don't you leave him behind", said the lean man with a sigh of relief in his heart.
"You don't understand this, this kind of thing, we people are not suitable to participate in it. Besides, talking about this Lu Shenchen gave me a feeling that I couldn't see clearly, so I didn't dare to really do it," the ink shopkeeper said after pondering for a moment when he heard this.
"It's still Dr. Mo who is smart, and the little brother really admires it. But I'll tell Miss about this first, and when the time comes, you and I will have a share of the credit," the lean man looked delighted, bowed his hand, and was about to go out.
"Well, go ahead, you can tell the young lady that this person will appear in the pharmacy again within a month, and the young lady can prepare in advance", the ink shopkeeper said with a hint of advice.
"Got it, Doctor Mo," after saying that, the lean man walked out happily with the necklace.
Looking at the back of the lean man leaving, the ink shopkeeper's brows tightened. With a hint of heaviness, he said to himself: "Why does this Lu Shenchen always give me a very familiar feeling? It seems that the previous life was the enemy of life and death, what is the reason for this?"
He shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of puzzlement. The shopkeeper walked into the inner room of the house and disappeared.
