CHAPTER XIII

The two laughed for a while and continued to enjoy the medicine along the long table. I didn't walk for a while, and I met a man and a woman, who were standing at the table and bargaining with a man who looked like a man, apparently wanting to buy a medicinal herb in front of him.

Mo Ling glanced at the medicinal herbs on their table, and couldn't help but say to herself, "Sand Scorpion Shell, it's been a long time since I've seen this flavored medicine......"

Not wanting Mo Ling's words to be heard by the two men and women, the woman immediately turned her head, gave a salute first, and asked Mo Ling with surprise on her face, "Childe knows about this medicine?"

"Ah...... I've seen it before, so I know a little. Mo Ling bowed back and said.

When the woman heard this, she was even more happy, and walked a few steps to Mo Ling, "Since Childe knows about this medicine, then ask Childe to comment on the reasoning, Brother Yun and I have already paid thirty taels of silver, but he still refuses to sell it to us, and says that we are unreasonable, Childe, you say, is it still us who is unreasonable?"

"How can I say this...... Mo Ling looked at the three of them, the woman's face was full of anticipation, and the brother Yun in her mouth nodded to herself, showing friendship, and the guy behind the table confidently clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking unwilling to retreat. Mo Ling then spoke: "The origin of the sand scorpion shell is White Tiger County, which is indeed rare in Qinglong City, but twenty taels of silver is enough to buy, and the store still refuses to sell thirty taels, some of which are too much." ”

"Yes, yes," the woman turned happily, "I'll just say that, it's obviously him who is unreasonable." ”

The guy behind the table frowned unhappily, and the expression on his face seemed to say: Where did the little guy come from, he didn't know how to stir up the peace. Seeing that the man didn't speak, the woman felt that she was more reasonable, and took a step closer and said, "Thirty taels of silver, it's not a small amount, you must have earned it, and you can sell it to us." ”

"Thirty taels of silver, indeed, cannot be sold. The guy shook his head resolutely.

"You," the woman stomped her feet anxiously, "why are you so stubborn, everyone has said that this medicine is worth twenty taels, you sell it to us for thirty taels, and you can still take ten taels yourself, isn't it enough?"

"Girl, what are these words!" the guy couldn't hold back when he heard this, "The shopkeeper has already said that this medicine will not be sold if it is less than forty taels! Thirty taels will be sold to you, and I will have to paste ten taels of silver upside down!"

"You ......" The woman choked angrily and looked at the man beside her, "Brother Yun, what should I do now, when I went out, I only brought thirty taels with me." ”

The man looked embarrassed and replied in a low voice, "When I came out, I didn't bring any money. ”

The woman didn't make a move, so she had to cast a look at Mo Ling for help, "Childe, look, what should I do?"

"This ......" Mo Ling swept back and forth between the two of them a few times with a suspicious look, and finally saw a cyan jade pendant on the woman's waist, and then she was slightly reassured, "If the girl is in urgent need of this medicinal herb, she is willing to pay for the girl's purchase, but-" The woman almost jumped up with joy when she heard this, "Really, Childe is really a good person!"

"Don't worry, girl, I haven't finished my next sentence yet. Mo Ling laughed twice, "It's okay to pay, but there is one condition." ”

"On what terms?" "The girl needs to put a mortgage on the next thingβ€”of course, the thing itself must be worth something." ”

"Mortgage......" When the woman heard this, half of the joy on her face disappeared, "You...... What you want as collateral. ”

"For example, the cyan jade pendant worn by the girl is very suitable in the next place. Mo Ling said it directly.

"This jade pendant, that's not good!" the woman took a step back and subconsciously protected the jade pendant with her hand, "I can't give you this jade pendant, you pick something else." ”

"It seems that this jade pendant is very precious to the girl, although I don't want to win people's love, but apart from this jade pendant, the two of you don't seem to be able to take out anything else valuable......" Mo Ling sighed helplessly, "It seems that I can't help the girl below." ”

After speaking, Mo Ling nodded to Fu Qin, turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly kept the magic feather, "Childe, please stay! ”

"Hey, girl, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that we don't have the courage to lend so many silver taels to the girl," Mo Ling pointed at the guy behind the table again, "The girl really wants to discuss, it's better to discuss with him, maybe he will give up ten silver taels." ”

"It can't be. The man continued with Mo Ling's words.

"It's only ten taels of silver, how can we rely on you!" the woman was a little anxious and a little angry, "You tell me where your family lives, early tomorrow morningβ€”oh no, at the latest in two days, I will send someone to send you the silver!"

"The girl's kindness is in my heart......" Mo Ling smiled and arched her hand, still insisting on leaving.

The woman couldn't help it now, and grabbed Mo Ling's arm, "You can't trust us like that, do we have the face of a liar?"

"If you are sister, don't be impulsive......" The man next to the woman finally spoke, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, he was glared back by the woman, and the woman then said to Mo Ling: "You must have heard of the four major families of Jingshan, to tell you the truth, Brother Yun and I are both members of the Hua family, and I will never lie to you for these ten taels of silver." If I hadn't been in a hurry this time, I would never have begged someone for this kind of thing!"

The woman's voice was awe-inspiring, and even Fu Qin on the side couldn't help but want to persuade Mo Ling to give in. It's a pity that Mo Ling doesn't seem to be very useful to this, so he shook off the woman's hand and said loudly: "The girl keeps complaining that she doesn't believe the girl, so she asks rhetorically, if the girl believes in the girl, why not give the jade pendant as a mortgage?"

"This ......," the woman choked, "this one is different from that!"

"Then ask the girl again, the girl claims to be from the Hua family, what evidence can prove the girl's words?"

"Yes, of course there is!" As soon as the woman heard this, she suddenly gained confidence, and took off the jade pendant on her waist and handed it to Mo Ling's eyes, "This is the evidence you want to see!"

Mo Ling picked up the jade pendant, and the man reached out to stop it, but was stopped by the woman, "It's okay, let him see it, I'm afraid he won't be able to rob it." ”

The cyan jade pendant is exquisitely clear, round and delicate, supplemented by a gold silk sachet as a charm, which has a unique charm. Indeed, judging from the jade pendant and sachet alone, the woman is not an ordinary family, and if you look carefully, you can vaguely read two words from the pattern on the jade pendant, one side is "flower", and the other side is "open".

After reading it, Mo Ling carelessly put the jade pendant back into the woman's palm, and said with an apologetic smile: "Rude, rude, it seems that I am spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, as an apology, forty taels of silver will all come out from here." ”

"No need," the woman took back the jade pendant, her face showing joy, "We only lack ten taels of silver, and if you can borrow us ten taels, we will be grateful." ”

"If the girl plans to spend all her money on the sand scorpion shell, then she doesn't mind......" Mo Ling said, took out a letter from her bosom, took out a silver ticket of ten taels, and handed it to the woman.

The woman and the man looked at each other, but neither took the silver ticket. Mo Ling tilted her head in confusion, and the woman said hesitantly, "Otherwise...... Childe, you might as well lend us more......"

Mo Ling was waiting for this sentence, and immediately smiled with relief, without thinking about it, and took out three silver tickets, and handed them to the guy behind the table along with the one just now. Seeing that Mo Ling took out forty taels of silver tickets without hesitation, the guy's eyes changed significantly when he saw Mo Ling, and when he took the silver ticket, the guy whispered: "If that young lady is really from the Hua family, this deal is really worth it." ”

"Regardless of whether she is from the Hua family or not, Brother Tai's business is a sure way to make money and not lose money," Mo Ling replied, "After so many years of exposure to medicinal materials, it is the first time I have heard that the sand scorpion shell can be sold for forty taels." ”

"It seems that Brother Tai only knows one thing, but I don't know the other, today's sand scorpion shell, no matter where you ask, is forty taels of silver, a lot of money. The guy took the silver ticket into his arms and said confidently.

When Mo Ling heard this, he smiled, and did not refute, but only said: "That brother probably doesn't know that there are several common substitute medicinal materials for sand scorpion shells." ”

When the man heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he closed his mouth tightly and was speechless.

The woman took the sand scorpion shell from Mo Ling's hand, her expression was extremely happy, and she stroked her chest and said happily: "With this medicine, my mother's head wind disease will definitely be cured." Thank you for your help. ”

"It's a small thing. It turned out that the girl bought the medicine for Lingtang, and her filial piety was really touching. ”

"Hehe," the woman smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, this time I came out with Brother Yun to choose a birthday gift for my mother, and I happened to meet the Ten Thousand Medicines Conference, so I came in to make a scene, but I didn't expect to find a sand scorpion shell." I remember that Mr. Pharmacist at home said that the sand scorpion shell is the most effective way to cure my mother's head wind, so hehe. ”

"I see, then I wish Lingtang a speedy recovery. The girl's heart is enough as a birthday gift for Lingtang. ”

"You are really good at talking," the woman blushed a little when Mo Ling said this, and quickly changed the topic, "I don't know the name of the childe?

"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it, it's far worse than the girl, don't mention it, don't mention it. Mo Ling waved his hand repeatedly.

"Then what's the matter, you can at least tell me where you live, and I will return the silver taels to you in the future." ”

"Hey, this kind of trivial matter, the girl doesn't have to worry about it, just treat it as a congratulatory gift to Lingtang. ”

"That's not good!" The woman's tone was very resolute, but she immediately shook her hand in a panic and said, "I didn't mean that, I understood the kindness of the childe, hey, it's not right, I want to say ......" The woman explained for a long time, and she didn't say why, the man standing next to her couldn't stand it, so he said: "If my sister means that it is okay for the son to lend us forty taels of silver, or give it to my aunt as a gift, we should always leave a name, and it will not be in vain for us to get acquainted." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant. The woman nodded hurriedly in agreement.

"Since the two of you are talking about this, ......" Mo Ling looked at Fu Qin beside him, and then said, "The next surname is Mo, and the single name is Lingzi, and the next one is my younger brother, and the single name is a Qin character." I don't know what to call the two of you?"

"My surname is Hua, and my name is two words, if so. Next to him is Brother Cangyun. The woman said.

"Mo Ling, Mo Qin......" The man whispered the two names, and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that the two are from the Mo family, one of the four major families in Jingshan?"

"Haha...... Sort of, my father is a branch of the Mo family. ”

"I'll just say, no wonder Gongzi is so generous, it turns out to be a member of the Mo family. In that case, does Childe also live in Mirror Mountain?" the woman asked.

"Well, living in a small courtyard in Mirror Mountain. "Oh, maybe we'll see each other again in the future!" the woman said happily, "Did you say, Brother Yun?"

β€œ...... Yes, Jingshan is so big, it doesn't have to be ......" For some reason, the man's face became a little stiff after learning that Mo Ling was a member of the Mo family.

"I'm sure I'll see it!" the woman suddenly thought of something, and said to Mo Ling, "You know the Hua family's compound, I live in it, if you come to me, you will definitely find me!"

"......" When Mo Ling heard this, she didn't react for a while, until the woman said again, "You must come and play with me, so that I can return the silver taels to you." ”

"Oh, that's ......" "Hehe, that's it!" the woman finished speaking, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face.
