Chapter 11 Renjitang
The small private room of Renjitang is relatively complete, with tables, chairs, cabinets, and a screen, a bed behind the screen, and even flowers on the corner of the wall, which shows his intentions.
As soon as Chen Xiuyan finished reading, a junior apprentice knocked on the door and came in, with a teapot, a teacup, and a small plate of pastries on the tray in his hand, pale yellow, and I don't know what it is.
"Girl, please use it." The apprentice put down his things, poured a cup of tea for Chen Xiuyan and went out.
Chen Xiuyan was not polite, picked it up and smelled it, sighed in her heart, she didn't know how long she hadn't drunk tea, she took a sip gently, and there was a burst of fragrance, but the aftertaste was a little sour, Chen Xiuyan didn't care, she drank a cup directly, and then poured another cup.
As soon as he put down the teapot, the middle-aged man came in, his face full of smiles.
"I don't know what to call him?" Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, "By the way, my surname is Chen." ”
"Miss Chen, just call me the shopkeeper strictly." Shopkeeper Yan sat opposite Chen Xiuyan with a smile, "I wonder if I can take a closer look at the ginseng?" ”
Chen Xiuyan put the handkerchief wrapped in ginseng directly in front of the shopkeeper Yan.
The ginseng that Chen Xiuyan came to sell was fresh, that is, it had just been dug out of the soil, which was produced in the space.
When the end came, Chen Xiuyan planted a box of seeds that her grandmother had always treasured into the space, those were left by the Chinese medicine grandfather who had never met, and there were also explanations of Chinese medicinal materials corresponding to the seeds.
After that, ginseng, snow lotus, astragalus and other medicinal materials in his own Chinese medicinal materials have not been broken, and some will be concocted when it is safe, but more of them have not been concocted, all in the bamboo house of their own space, and they do not pay attention to these when they want to use it.
Traditional Chinese medicine is slow to work, and it is actually Western medicine that is used more in the last days, but now it is good, ancient Chinese medicine is worth a lot.
"Miss Chen dug ginseng from the mountains?" Shopkeeper Yan smiled, "The girl's luck is really good." ”
"Luck is also part of strength." Chen Xiuyan was unhurried, and reached out to take a piece of pastry, "Otherwise, this ginseng grows in the soil, and people who don't know it won't be able to dig it even if they are lucky." ”
Shopkeeper Yan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chen Xiuyan's eyes again, thinking that she was a young girl, but now she felt that she was not a good target.
"Shopkeeper Yan, I came to sell it sincerely, and you also saw the quality." Chen Xiuyan said bluntly, "I also know the price, and since I can recognize it, I naturally know the value of ginseng, so you will give you a sincere price." ”
Shopkeeper Yan weighed it in his heart and said seriously, "This ginseng has not been concocted, and I said before that the medicinal materials that have not been concocted are always less silver than those that have been concocted." ”
"Twenty taels." Shopkeeper Yan said, "Although this ginseng is heavy now, it will be much lighter after it is concocted, and it will not weigh much, at most one or two weights." ”
"The ginseng in our clinic is two taels and one dollar, and one or two ginseng dollars is twenty taels of silver."
Chen Xiuyan hooked the corners of her lips and looked at the shopkeeper Yan with a smile, "The ginseng that catches the medicine in the medical hall is mostly ginseng whiskers, and the vintage will not be very high." ”
"Shopkeeper Yan, how can I have thirty or forty years of ginseng, how can I cut and sell it for such a year, your price is not real."
Chen Xiuyan didn't take a bite of the pastry in her hand, put it down casually, stood up, and the shopkeeper Yan also stood up.
"Miss Chen, we can talk about the price again, you are an expert, it is Yan Mou's nonsense, sixty taels." The shopkeeper Yan said, "Ginseng can only be sold after it has been concocted, and our medical center will have to spend some time and effort to sell it again, even if it is earned, the amount will not be very large." ”
Chen Xiuyan sat down again and nodded, "It's just sixty taels, although I can go to other places to sell at a higher price, but the attitude of the shopkeeper Yan is still convincing, let's take a step back from each other for the first time, and then we can do business again." ”
"Miss Chen still has precious medicinal herbs in her hand?" The shopkeeper Yan's eyes lit up.
"It's up to luck." Chen Xiuyan smiled knowingly and said, "How can you be able to collect good medicinal materials in the mountain last time." ”
Chen Xiuyan carried fifty taels of silver tickets and ten taels of scattered silver out of Renji Hall, and suddenly felt a little confident in her heart.
Oh, and a snack in my hand, I just ate a piece by myself, and the shopkeeper Yan asked someone to wrap it, soybean cake, it tastes good.
With the money in her hand, Chen Xiuyan wanted to go shopping, and she hadn't been shopping for a long time.
I went to the Four Treasures Shop in the study room and bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Lin Yun, good guy, a brush, a stack of about twenty pieces of paper, an inkstone, and an ink strip, which cost me a full three taels of silver, and it was still of lower quality.
In ancient times, it cost money to provide a reader.
For Yucui and Yubi's two nieces, Chen Xiuyan chose a hair rope and a small silk flower; It was a rattle for the little nephew Lin Cai.
There are small ones, big ones can't be less, Chen Xiuyan hasn't bought gifts for people for a long time, after thinking about it, she still gave them real ones, went to the cloth shop to buy fabrics, picked festive colors, and when she got married, they could wear them.
It was already past noon, Chen Xiuyan went to the food stall alley to eat, and asked for a bowl of wontons and a meat bun.
"Have you seen the bustle at the back door of the willow house today?"
"I didn't see it, but I heard it, hehe, that Liu San Gongzi is really a blessing, there is one more maid in the room."
"Eh, I saw the excitement with my own eyes, although the girl looks a little thin, but there are a lot of places where there should be meat, and her face is also beautiful, I don't look worse than the eldest girl of the Wang family."
"Hey, hey, hey."
Chen Xiuyan glanced at the three young men sitting at the table next to her, discussing.
"Although the eldest girl of the Wang family has a good family background, she has a splashy temperament, I heard that she has already gone to the Liu Mansion, according to her temperament, she may want to do it."
"The Wang family is a family of pawns, and it is also a big family in Yijiang County, if Mrs. Liu of the Liu Mansion is not the Ning family, the Wang family will not want to marry the daughter of the family to the Liu Mansion who has no serious official position."
"It's not, Wailang, it's a nice name, but it's an official name that you spend money to buy, how can you compare it with the Wang family."
……
The Wang family, Chen Xiuyan scooped a wonton into her mouth, thinking more about what she had watched, Wang Yayu, the eldest girl of the Wang family, and the heroine Liu Qingxiu were good friends, and Liu Qingxiu was also the thread that Liu Qingxiu pulled for her third brother Liu Zongbao and Wang Yayu.
When Liu Qingxiu married into the Ning family, the Wang family also became a subsidiary of the Ning family, and with the promotion of Ning Youjin, the Wang family also moved from the name of the warden family to the position of the county order, of course, not in Yijiang County.
But the status of the Wang family in Yijiang County has never been shaken, the so-called strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, the Wang family has been in Yijiang County for nearly a hundred years, where is the county order and others who have been in office for a few years want to follow it.
If you remember correctly, the king was a filial son, and his mother was sick.
