Chapter 396: Sky-high ointment
"Miss, don't worry, the old woman from Stone Village will come over early tomorrow morning, and the ointment that Miss has asked for more than half a month will be settled immediately, Miss will definitely be able to make her wish come true." Cuihe Road.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's expression improved slightly, and there was finally some good news.
翠荷口中的老妇的孙子此前顽皮摔倒,身上被乱石划出了很深的口子,脸都差点毁容了就是用了那药膏身上没留下半点疤痕。
That ointment is exactly what Wei Qingwan has been asking about during this time.
Now that I have the news, I have made up my mind to ask why.
Wei Qingwan nodded.
###
Early the next morning, Wei Qingwan sent Cuihe to wait at the back door, and half an hour later than the agreed time, the old woman from Stone Village appeared.
Gray hair, wrinkled face, shabby but neat clothes.
Cuihe complained a little: a woman from a mountain village, it was already a great honor to invite her to the General's Mansion, and she dared to be late and let her wait!
But thinking that the information carried by this old woman was related to the future of their young lady, Cuihe endured it and took the old woman to Wangmei Garden.
After entering the house, Cuihe introduced to the old woman: "This is my young lady, you will tell my young lady about the ointment that cured your grandson's face." ”
The old woman glanced at Wei Qingwan, and then replied: "This ointment was given by a divine doctor, and my eldest grandson used three boxes, and his face was completely healed, leaving no scars at all." ”
"I've already heard you say this, and my young lady wants to ask you who the miracle doctor is, where is it, and how to get the ointment." Cuihe said, his tone full of impatience.
"I don't know much about the divine doctor's benefactor, but I can tell the young lady a thing or two about the ointment." The old woman replied.
"Then you should say it quickly." Cuihe said anxiously.
Wei Qingwan also looked at her with eager eyes.
"The benefactor's medicine is sold in the Tongde Hall in the provincial capital, ordinary people ask if there is any, and after entering the store, they say that they are looking for the healing medicine of the divine doctor, and the guys in the store will lead them upstairs." The old woman replied.
"Really?" Wei Qingwan's eyes lit up significantly.
"Miss, I don't dare to lie to you, you are Miss Qianjin, I also heard that you will be the princess in the future, I don't dare to lie to you if you give me a hundred guts!" The old woman replied.
"Just do what you say, okay?" Wei Qingwan confirmed again.
"yes, then you can buy it." The old woman replied.
"Good." Wei Qingwan was in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth kept rising.
"Miss, I'll let my old son go to the provincial capital tomorrow!" Cuihe said.
Wei Qingwan nodded.
Then I thought of a question, and then asked the old woman: "Then how much does this ointment cost in Tongdetang for a box?" ”
"A box of one hundred taels of silver."
The old woman spoke surprisingly, and said a price that made Wei Qingwan suspect that she was having auditory hallucinations.
"What? A box of one hundred taels of silver? Cuihe exclaimed directly.
"That's right." The old woman replied in the affirmative.
"Aren't you kidding us, old woman? An old woman who is not worth a few pennies in your whole body can afford a box of medicine for a hundred taels of silver? Cuihe asked.
"Of course my wife can't afford it, and she can't even afford to sell me! Didn't my wife say it before? It was a gift from a benefactor, and we didn't ask for a penny! The old woman explained.
Hearing this, Cuihe looked at Wei Qingwan, frowned and asked cautiously, "Miss, what should we do now?" ”
Wei Qingwan glanced at the old woman again and asked, "You said that your grandson was cured after using three boxes, and you can't see a single scar, right?" ”
"yes, I can't see it at all, it's like I've never been hurt." The old woman replied firmly.
"You mean, one box of such an expensive ointment isn't enough?" Cuihe's face was full of surprise and depression, that was how many months of her regular money!
"One box is naturally not enough, two boxes still have some traces, and three boxes are completely invisible when they are used up."
In other words, Wei Qingwan will also use at least three boxes, which will cost three hundred taels of silver!
The joy on Wei Qingwan's face faded, replaced by a full of sorrow.
She only has those jewelry in her hand now that are worth some money, but not to mention that she can't sell the only jewelry she can get her hands on, even if she sells it, she can't get so much silver.
But she really needs this ointment now, and according to the information she inquired, the sooner she uses this ointment, the better, and it is best to start using it as soon as the scab falls off.
After waiting for a year or two, even if you use it, it will still leave traces.
She's been delayed for some time now, and she doesn't have to be afraid that she won't have a chance.
What to do? What should she do?
Wei Qingwan was silent for a long time and didn't say a word.
Seeing that she had not spoken, the old woman cautiously asked, "Miss, is there anything else that the old woman can help with?" ”
Cuihe glanced at the old woman, and she still wanted to help their young lady like this? Don't look at what kind of identity you are?
Wei Qingwan asked with a calm face: "What did you do to meet that divine doctor, and why did that divine doctor give you the ointment?" ”
"There is no reason, it is just a chance encounter, the doctor saw that my eldest grandson was pitiful, so he gave my eldest grandson a wound, and before leaving, he took three boxes of ointment to me, and asked me to apply it to my eldest grandson every morning and evening." The old woman replied.
"Then tell me where to find the miracle doctor!" Cuihe said anxiously.
"My wife doesn't know!" The old woman spread her hands.
"You don't know how to find a miracle doctor, and how do you know that you can go to Tongdetang to buy medicine?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"Because the divine doctor said before leaving, if you don't have enough, you can go to Tongde Hall, and you can see people in the way I just said, and then the divine doctor said that he would say hello to the guys inside in advance, and he didn't need my silver."
The old woman explained it one by one, but what she said didn't help Wei Qingwan much.
Wei Qingwan looked at the old woman, knowing that it would be useless to ask any more: "Okay, you go back first." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The old woman nodded again and again.
Cuihe reluctantly sent the old woman out the back door, and then turned around and left, not bothering to say a polite word to the old woman.
After Cuihe left, the old woman snorted in the direction behind her: "Called me from so far away, asked for a long time, didn't let me drink a sip of tea, didn't even say thank you, it's really rude!" ”
Then the old woman smiled again: "But my wife was originally here to complete what Xu Gongzi asked me, so I don't care what your attitude is!" ”
On the other hand, after sending the old woman away, Wei Qingwan pondered for a long time, and decided to let Mama Li go to Tongde Hall in the provincial capital first to verify whether what the old woman said was true.
