The young man from Lu Yuandian's shop entered the house, and quickly brought out two huge copper plates, which were padded with rose red flannel, and all kinds of jewels were wiped clean and presented on the plates.

The old shopkeeper smiled: "Here is the newly sent jewelry, the young lady can choose as much as she wants." ”

In these two copper plates, one side is mostly jadeite, jade, agate and other expensive hairpin hairpins, and the other side is a plain silver bracelet ring, which has cracked and is an ordinary ring collar.

Lu Tong put down the teacup, looked at the two copper plates, and slowly stroked the carved edges of the copper plates with his fingers.

After Ke Chengxing's death, the Ke family's business was damaged, and Mrs. Ke had to compensate for the arrears, so she could only sell her property.

When Lu Rou got married, even though the family was poor, with the temperament of her father and mother, Lu Rou's dowry would never be missing. After Lu Rou's death, the dowry was used by the Ke family, but if there was any surplus, it would inevitably be exchanged for silver by Mrs. Ke first.

And the bride of the Ke family, the Qin family, is now eager to get rid of the Ke family, and most of them will not keep the relics of the Ke family's grandmother.

Lu Tong played twice in the copper plate, picked out a delicate bamboo hairpin, a silver bracelet that was still bright in color, and finally, crossed the dazzling array of fragrant red dots on the flannel, and picked up a silver-gilded and gem-inlaid hibiscus hairpin.

The hairpin seems to have been used for a long time, and the hairpin body has been rubbed to be smooth, but the luster of the small gems inlaid on it is still brilliant.

Lu Tong picked out these three things and looked at the old shopkeeper: "I want these." ”

The old shopkeeper asked the man to remove the copper plate, and said with a smile: "Miss has a good eye." All three are new to the book. The bamboo hairpin is five taels of silver, the bracelet is fifteen taels, and the gemstone hairpin is slightly more expensive, requiring one hundred taels. However, the old lady is a guest, and the first time she comes, erase the change, and the young lady only pays a hundred taels. ”

"So expensive?" Yinzheng couldn't help but blurt out, "It's not a tourmaline coral, master, don't fool us for not knowing the goods!" ”

The old shopkeeper was not annoyed when he heard this, but smiled patiently: "The girl doesn't know, although the material of this hairpin is not as good as tourmaline coral, it is better than the exquisite craftsmanship, and a hundred taels of silver is definitely not a loss." If the girl thinks the price is not right, why don't you look at something else? ”

Lu Tong was silent.

She came for this hibiscus hairpin, but the price was unexpected, even if she bought the hairpin alone, the silver was still half short.

Now, it's a bit of a struggle.

When Lu Tong and Yin Zheng were in trouble for silver in the pawn shop, someone came down from the Yuxian Building next door.

The young man was dressed in a crimson narrow-waisted official uniform, and his wrist guards were embroidered with silver brocade, and there was a dark glow in the daylight. He went downstairs, untied his horse, and was about to turn over and get on his horse.

The young man behind him followed, and suddenly spoke: "Huh? Isn't that Dr. Lu? ”

Pei Yunyan paused as he got on the horse and raised his eyes.

In the pawn shop not far from the street, two familiar people were standing. Lu Tong's white dress hairpin is really eye-catching, she is delicate and thin, and a gust of wind can blow away, standing in the shop, it is difficult for people to recognize it.

Duan Xiaoyan was a little excited: "I didn't expect to be separated from the temple and see it here again, what a coincidence." ”

Pei Yunyi looked at her thoughtfully for a long time before saying, "It's a coincidence." ”

In the Luyuan pawnshop, Yinzheng was still arguing with the old shopkeeper, she said: "Shopkeeper, even if this hairpin is exquisitely crafted, the material is like this, if it is not for my girl's liking, others will not want to spend a hundred taels to buy it." You might as well sell less to us, and we'll come here to buy things in the future. ”

The old shopkeeper was gentle on his face, and his mouth was not allowed: "The girl is laughing, I don't hide it, our shop is open in Qinghe Street in the south of the city, and the rent is more expensive than other places, and we are also a small business...... It's really embarrassing to get old. ”

"But......" Yinzheng wanted to say more.

A hand crossed over to his side and dropped a silver ingot on the table, and someone behind him said, "Needless to say, I'll pay for her." ”

Lu Tong raised his head and met a pair of smiling black eyes.

"Master Pei?" Lu Tong frowned slightly.

I didn't expect to meet Pei Yunyi here.

He seems to have just finished his errand, and his official uniform has not yet been taken off, his official hat covers his hair bun, lining his eyebrows and eyes, and his posture has three points of grace, and the scarlet official uniform is worn on this person, which is scorching and dazzling.

He smiled at Lu Tong: "Doctor Lu, meet again." ”

The old shopkeeper also recognized Pei Yunyao, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, this time the smile was much more sincere than when he faced Lu Tong, and there was a hint of fear: "I knew that this young lady was a friend of Xiao Pei, where would the old man still accept the silver." These three pieces of jewelry can be brought back by the lady, which can be regarded as a gift from the old lady. ”

He reached out to push the silver back, and one hand held the silver ingot down.

Pei Yunyao leaned on the table and said indifferently: "Mr. This shop is located on Qinghe Street in the south of the city, and the rent is more expensive than in other places. ”

He returned what the old shopkeeper had just said, and the old shopkeeper's face stiffened.

Pei Yunyan knocked on the table with his fingers: "The shopkeeper is tired of wrapping it up for her." ”

This time, the old shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered the young man to wrap the three pieces of jewelry he had picked up and handed them to Yinzheng.

Lu Tong and Yin Zheng put away their things, walked out of the pawn shop, and found Pei Yunyi waiting outside the shop, followed by the young man named Duan Xiaoyan on his side, and when he saw Lu Tong and the two, Duan Xiaoyan hurriedly waved hello to them.

Lu Tong returned the salute, walked behind Pei Yunyao, and said to him, "Thank you Master Pei just now." ”

He turned around, looked down at Lu Tong, and said, "Doctor Lu's vision is not good." ”

Lu Tong looked at him.

"You seem to have been cheated by that old fellow," he glanced at the cloth bag in Yinzheng's hand, "I dare to charge you a hundred taels for just this little thing." ”

The old shopkeeper of Lu Yuan's pawnshop seems to be kind and kind, but in fact he is a good person, Lu Tong knows that if he is not shrewd, he will not be able to open the shop in a prosperous place like Qinghe Street for many years and still stand.

Yinzheng was stunned, and plucked up the courage to speak: "Then when Master Pei was in the pawn shop just now, why didn't he remind us girl?" ”

Pei Yunyi hugged his chest and looked at Lu Tong, and suddenly smiled: "Because, if you say it, there is no chance for Dr. Lu to owe me a favor." ”

His expression was ambiguous and his tone was subtle, but Lu Tong frowned slightly.

Lu Tong said: "The fifty taels of silver owed to Master Pei will be taken and returned as soon as I go back." ”

"Not necessarily." Pei Yunyi looked at her: "I heard that in Dr. Lu's medical hall, there is a medicinal tea called Chun Shui Sheng that sells very well, so let's use that." ”

"Okay." Lu Tong agreed, "Master Pei gave me the address of the house, and I will have someone send it tomorrow." ”

"Don't bother," he smiled, "West Street is not far away, I'll come and pick it up another day." ”

Lu Tong stared at him, his expression was calm, as if what he had just said could not be more natural.

After a while, Lu Tong bowed his head and said calmly: "Okay." ”

Lu Tong and Yinzheng left first, Duan Xiaoyan followed Pei Yunyi to Yuxian Tower, Duan Xiaoyan said: "This Doctor Lu doesn't have any jewelry on her, I thought she didn't like hairpin ring bracelets, but I didn't expect it to be the same as ordinary girls." ”

Pei Yunyi said slowly: "Yes, so after the business trip, you go back to the pawnshop and ask where the three pieces of jewelry she bought today come from?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan let out an "oh", and suddenly reacted again: "What are you asking for?" You also helped her yesterday in Wuhuai Garden, brother, why do I think that you are particularly concerned about Dr. Lu's affairs? ”

Pei Yunyi walked to Yuxian Tower, untied the horse leash, turned over on the horse, smiled, and said, "A woman who may kill people, how can she not have more snacks?" ”

After that, he ignored Duan Xiaoyan and rode away.

Duan Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly followed the horse and chased after him, and asked, "Murder?" Who is it? ”

……

It's summer, and the nights are getting cooler.

The silver kite was planted in the moon season in front of the hospital, and it didn't take long for it to bloom.

In the room, Lu Tong sat at the table, looking at the hibiscus hairpin in his hand.

Grandma Ke Qin's really didn't take away this hairpin, as Lu Rou's dowry, this hairpin was pawned by Mrs. Ke for the first time.

The hairpin is exquisite, and under the dim candle fire, the gems shine out of a layer of hazy old light, like the sunset on the mountain in early summer in Changwu County.

It seems that it is also such a night, my mother sat in front of the lamp and made needles, she had just finished bathing, lying on Lu Rou's lap, and let Lu Rou dry her wet hair with a handkerchief.

Lu Rou combed her hair for her, and said with a smile: "When our little sister grows up, her hair will look good when she is tied up." Leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, that hairpin sister doesn't need it, sister will help you keep it, and when you meet your favorite Xiaolangjun, sister will comb your hair." ”

She was still young at the time, and she replied without thinking: "Okay, then when I meet my favorite Langjun, I will bring him to the door to discuss with you, sister, don't talk and don't talk." ”

The mother glared at the two of them: "Don't be ashamed." ”

Lu Rou couldn't straighten up with a smile, pinched her face and teased her: "No problem, when you bring him to see me, I want to see which Xiaolangjun has this honor, and my sister will treat her differently." ”

There was wind outside the window, blowing the candle flame slightly, Lu Tong came back to his senses and put the hairpin in his hand into the box.

Yin Zheng came in from outside the house with a basin of water, and Lu Tong handed her the remaining silver bracelet and bamboo hairpin: "This one will be given to you." ”

"Send me?" Yin Zheng was surprised, "Doesn't the girl use it herself?" ”

"I bought it to hide people's eyes." Lu Tong said: "I don't need it every day." ”

Yinzheng took it in his hand and paused before speaking: "Then why don't I change another one to pawn?" Let's go to a pawn shop today, and it cost one hundred taels, not to mention the fifty taels of Master Pei, and I still owe the shopkeeper Du silver. It's not a way to ask Du's shopkeeper to borrow money, and he doesn't have much left. ”

"Whatever you want."

Yinzheng looked at Lu Tong, who was sitting at the table, like a camellia budding in an early summer night, more fresh than the one she admired on her sideburns.

Just looking at the appearance, it really attracts pity.

"Girl," Yin Zheng said thoughtfully, "that Master Pei has helped you out of the siege several times, and today he said that he didn't want you to return the silver...... Does he like you? ”

Seeing that Lu Tong didn't speak, Yin Zheng thought about it again: "He is the prince of Zhaoning, he looks good and has good skills, if he really ...... you"

"It's not." Lu Tong interrupted her.

"He's not liking me, he's testing me."

That Pei Shizi didn't have any affection in his eyes when he looked at her, but seemed to know all her secrets, which was alarming.

However, no matter what Pei Yunyao's purpose of testing Lu Tong was, Lu Tong didn't have the time to pay attention to it.

For several days in a row, Lu Tong was busy giving Dong Lin medicine.

On the Taifu Siqing Mansion, the Renxin Medical Center can't afford to offend for the time being, and the consultation fee given by the Dong family is very generous, Du Changqing can't say anything, Lu Tong was busy for a few days before the medicine was ready, and Du Changqing personally sent it to the Taifu Siqing Mansion.

This one has just finished delivering the medicine, and the other one is familiar with the medicine.

The pharmacist from the Cooked Medicine Institute stood in front of Lu Tong and said respectfully: "Doctor Lu, the prescription of Chun Shui Sheng, the Imperial Medicine Institute has improved it and accepted it as an official medicine." In the future, the spring water herbal tea can only be purchased in the Imperial Medicine Institute and the Cooked Medicine Institute, and other medical hall merchants can no longer continue to sell it. ”

Du Changqing just came back from the Dong Mansion and heard such a sentence, he couldn't hold it for a while, and grabbed the collar of the messenger: "What did you say?" ”

The medicine man was still young, and he stammered, "...... This is a good thing, it is a supreme honor for Fang Zi to enter the prescription of the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper should be happy. ”

"Happy fart!" Du Changqing couldn't help but scolded: "He took Fang Zi away, how can I make money?" Is the surname Lou intentional? Bastard bastard, didn't he even listen to Taifu Siqing's words? ”

"It's ...... This is the decision of the Imperial Pharmacy," the pharmacist was helpless: "The small one can't be the master." Please also ask the shopkeeper to ...... Calm down......"

It is indeed not a way to get angry at a small pharmacist, Du Changqing let go of his hand, his face changed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Shameless!" ”

Lou Si didn't dare to save face for the Dong family, and allowed the medical hall to continue to sell medicinal materials, but at this juncture, he took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and used the recipe of spring water into an official pharmacy prescription. For ordinary medical centers, it is indeed a bright move on the face, but it is not a good thing for Renxin Medical Center, which has now become the main head of the income by relying on spring water.

When you are stretched, you can't be more famous than you are.

Ah Cheng and Yin Zheng looked at each other, and Ah Cheng looked at Lu Tong cautiously: "Doctor Lu, what can I do now?" ”

Since it could not continue to sell spring aquatic life, the Renxin Medical Center also lost the most important silver source, and once returned to the beginning.

Lu Tong didn't say a word, accepted the official seal of the pharmacist, and saw the little pharmacist leave, before turning around and returning to the inner shop, saying, "Don't worry." ”

Three pairs of eyes stared at her in unison, and Du Changqing's eyes flashed with a hint of hope.

"For the same medical center, at most, only one prescription can be requisitioned as an official medicine. Chun Shui Sheng is accepted by the cooked medicine, which means that all the finished medicines produced and sold by Renxin Medical Center so far will no longer be collected by the cooked medicine. Lu Tong said: "Shopkeeper Du, you are free." ”

"Freedom has a." Du Changqing said angrily: "The silver is gone, I would rather be a prisoner of wealth!" ”

"When the money is gone, there is no more to be earned." Lu Tong's voice was calm: "One side of the medicine has been taken away, so I will do another party." ”

"Another party?" Du Changqing stared at her, a little skeptical: "It's easy to say, can you do it?" ”

Lu Tong didn't speak.

After a while, she said, "I can." ”

Xiao Pei: Today is also a day of fishing for air
