imperial princess

Chapter 217: Selling ginseng, forgetting to pay?

"Don't be too polite!"

After waving his hand, Wei Qian went straight to the boy. After careful inspection and questioning, he asked for another pagoda candy, sniffed it, nodded while holding it, and said, "Your brother is right, this child does have roundworms in his body. As for the medicine Can I get rid of worms, the old man has never seen it before, so I don’t dare to guarantee it, if the little lady can trust the old man, why don’t the old man write a prescription for you in person?”

This kind of attitude, considering his identity, is quite fair, at least he didn't blindly defend his weaknesses to cover up his ugliness. If even he insisted that the baby has internal heat, everyone, including the baby's mother I'm afraid they won't trust Ye Zhao anymore, maybe they will make up random arrangements and order someone to fork it out for him.

"This···"

The little woman looked at Ye Zhao with some hesitation. The medicine he offered was kind enough to save the baby's life. Would it be too much for her to ask the shopkeeper Wei for a prescription?

"It doesn't matter, my candy cures illnesses, and I can eat and play even if I am not ill. It is undoubtedly better to cooperate with the prescription of soup and medicine."

Seeing through her thoughts at a glance, Ye Zhao smiled slightly, and didn't take this kind of thing to heart. The other party is famous, and if it were him, he would also hope that the other party would prescribe it. This is the same as people in the modern world who always like to call experts No. is a truth.

"Thank you, thank you little brother."

I didn't expect him to be so talkative at such a young age. The little woman hugged her son and thanked her excitedly.

"Little lady is too polite. I should feel sorry for the old man. I almost killed my baby."

Wei Qian stretched out his hand to help her, and walked towards the consultation table and wrote a prescription: "Take the little woman to get the medicine, the consultation fee is free, and by the way, pick up some medicine to recuperate the body, it will be my Ling'an Hall." Make an apology to the little baby."

"What makes this happen?"

Hearing this, the little lady immediately wanted to refuse, but the clerk had already gone to get the medicine with the prescription. Ling'an Hall is not a small shop, and compared to their reputation, this little compensation is nothing.

"Go."

Smiling and nodding, Wei Qian had a humble attitude and a benevolent expression, making it hard to refuse.

"This...thank you, Shopkeeper Wei."

It's all up to this point, and it would be hypocritical to refuse again, and the little woman had to bow again.

"Brother, it's convenient to tell me your name and address. When the baby is well, I will definitely come to the door with my husband to thank you."

It can be seen that the little lady is also very polite, and she did not forget to ask her real benefactor before leaving.

"No need, it's just a little effort."

Waving his hand, Ye Zhao didn't take it seriously, turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother stay behind!"

"Ok?"

The person who stopped him was not a woman, but Wei Qian. Ye Zhao looked back at him, raising his eyebrows to express his doubts.

"My little brother neither took the pulse nor asked the doctor, but he was able to explain the baby's illness in one word. He must have superb medical skills. I don't know where he came from?"

Walking forward slowly, Wei Qian still had a smile on his face, but his deep-set eyes were full of wisdom and shrewdness accumulated over the years. At his age, what else can't be understood?Even if the other party seems to be no more than eighteen, he will not underestimate him.

"Treasurer Wei is serious. I don't know medical skills. It's just that I have seen the same disease. I also have a baby of about the same age at home."

It would be troublesome enough for him to meddle in his own business and have to find another medicine shop to sell ginseng. He really doesn't intend to continue to find more work for himself, even if it is definitely not difficult for him to fabricate an unfounded master. Son.

"That's it."

Wei Qian obviously didn't believe it, he stroked the goat's whiskers and looked at him for a while before he said, "Brother has helped me in Ling'an Hall, if you don't mind, can I buy you a cup of tea?"

"Drink tea?"

Raising eyebrows, Ye Zhao did not immediately refuse. Wei Qian may not be as kind and humble as he appears on the surface, but he is not a person with vicious thoughts. He can tell this when he asks himself. Most importantly, he was once an imperial physician He should be well-informed, with venomous and sharp eyes, and knows how precious and rare ginseng is, so it seems easier to buy and sell it in private?

"Then I won't be polite to shopkeeper Wei."

After a brief evaluation, Ye Zhao smiled and cupped his fists.

"Please!"

Like this kind of straightforward young man, Wei Qian made a gesture of please, and before leaving, he asked the doctor who had misdiagnosed him not to see a doctor again, and waived half of the consultation fee for everyone present.

The area at the back of the shop is also very spacious, except for the warehouse where the medicinal materials are piled up, the guys’ residences, there is also a lounge dedicated to the shopkeeper, and several consultation rooms for receiving expensive patients, although most of the expensive people directly send the doctor Please go back to the mansion to see a doctor, but except for the top dignitaries' mansions in state capitals such as Kangwang Mansion or Zhizhou, ordinary rich and noble families, if they want Wei Qian to see a doctor, they can only condescend and come here by themselves.

"What's your name, little brother?"

In the lounge dedicated to the shopkeeper, Wei Qian took the initiative to break the silence after the servants brought tea, and sized him up with wise eyes without making any traces.

"Miangui's surname is Ye, and the single name is the word Zhao."

While speaking, Ye Zhao picked up the teacup in a familiar way, lifted the lid and swung the camellias floating on it, brought it to his mouth and took a sip: "Good tea has a bitter taste and a sweet aftertaste."

It's not that he didn't notice his scrutiny, but Ye Zhao didn't take it seriously. What he wanted was that he couldn't see through it. As for reporting his real name, it was also for the sake of mystery.

"Brother Zhao doesn't seem like an ordinary person?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and Wei Qian asked tentatively, although he was dressed plainly, almost shabby, but from the beginning to the end, he was not humble and relaxed, and ordinary people could not maintain this kind of bearing , this kind of eyesight to see people, he still has some in himself.

"Ha ha···"

Without answering his question directly, Ye Zhao smiled, took off the bag behind his back, opened it and said: "I came to Ling'an Hall today, and I want to sell you something good. I don't know if shopkeeper Wei has any." interest."

Rong Che was still waiting for him at the herbal tea shop opposite. He had been delayed for some hours before, and if he continued to delay, he might be worried and anxious again.

"This is···"

Following what he said, Wei Qian's eyes moved accordingly. When the burden was completely untied, and the ginseng with thick arms and intact roots appeared in his sight, he lost his composure: "Good ginseng, so Thick ginseng is not necessarily found in the palace, this is the first time I have seen it, and it must be at least a hundred years old."

Touching the thick rhizome of ginseng, Wei Qian couldn't hide his excitement. People often say that ginseng has a century and a thousand years. In fact, it doesn't have such a long age. And which one has really lived a long live?Centenarians are few and far between.

"Treasurer Wei is indeed a person who knows the goods. In your opinion, how much is this ginseng worth?"

Ye Zhao smiled in satisfaction. The more he loses his composure, the higher the price he can sell. Although more money and less money are just a bunch of meaningless numbers to him, his little Douding should be very eager to see To countless money.

"Ok?"

Wei Qian, who was immersed in the excitement, was almost in a daze, and then frowned again: "Such a good entrant may save lives at a critical time, do you really want to sell?"

Even though he has already denied it, he can see that he is good at medicine, and his attainments should not be low. Such a rare ginseng can save lives in the hands of ordinary people, let alone a doctor?One more life-saving hole card is equal to one more life, which cannot be exchanged for more money.

"Well, to be honest, money is a little tight."

It's not that he didn't see his doubts, Ye Zhao didn't shy away from it, and he didn't feel embarrassed. Besides, he still had ginseng of similar quality in his storage compartment.

"···"

How could anyone speak so calmly and naturally when their hands are tight?Anyone who saw him would probably think he was talking nonsense.

After staring at him with indescribable words for a while, Wei Qian lowered his eyes and breathed out quietly: "You are also proficient in medical skills, and you must also understand the value of precious medicinal materials. There is a price but no market, if you really want to sell it, I will give you a thousand taels of gold, what do you think?"

This is already two-thirds of his savings. Although the business of Ling'an Hall is booming, he can start with a hundred taels of silver to see a doctor for a wealthy family. Not as much as others think.

"Um···"

According to the currency conversion of this era, a thousand taels of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver, which is no small amount.

Ye Zhao didn't respond right away, and nodded after narrowing his eyes for a moment of contemplation: "Okay, just 1000 taels of gold, and I want silver notes for all of them, and the 1000 taels of silver notes will be exchanged for one hundred taels of denomination."

This amount is almost the ideal price in his mind. Even if the value of such a good ginseng is far more than a thousand gold, but it seems that there are no bad-hearted people who can directly spend so much money. A few, he also took a fancy to this, so he showed the ginseng in a big way.

"No problem, I'll get someone ready."

After all, Wei Qian got up neatly, and when he came back, he was holding a stack of bank notes in his hand. According to Ye Zhao's request, nine bills were in denominations of one thousand taels, and ten bills in denominations of one hundred taels.

"Treasurer Wei is really a cheerful person, this ginseng is yours now."

After taking the banknote and putting it into the cuff, he threw it directly into the storage compartment, and Ye Zhao picked up the ginseng and handed it to him.

"Be careful, don't damage the roots."

Seeing his actions so casually, Wei Qian felt a sharp pain in his heart, and hurriedly took it carefully, for fear that it might be damaged in the slightest.

"Ha ha···"

Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing, then clasped his fists together and said, "The transaction has been completed, I'll take my leave first if there's nothing else to do."

Little Douding in their family was probably a little anxious to wait, but fortunately, the ginseng has been sold, and he can use the banknotes to make him happy later.

"Wait, you wait first, what are you in a hurry for, young people?"

Seeing this, Wei Qian quickly blocked his way, and met his doubtful eyes and asked angrily: "Where do you live? I like your temperament very much, so I decided to make you my friend, and I will visit your house tomorrow." .”

"···"

Are you serious?Based on age alone, you could be my grandpa.

Look at his full head of white hair, Ye Zhaoqiang resisted the twitching of the corner of his mouth, Wangnianjiao doesn't have such a big age gap!

It seems that our family Zhaozhao seems to have forgotten, if counted by life experience, the two of them may not be the grandfather of the other.

"What's wrong? This old man is not worthy of making friends with you?"

Not waiting for his reaction, Wei Qian feigned displeasure and questioned domineeringly.

"···"

It's not a question of fit or not at all, is it?

Reluctantly let out a turbid breath, Ye Zhao's eyes were full of powerlessness: "Is it because I am not worthy to climb up to your old man?"

He co-authored and sold ginseng and couldn't leave?

This matter is settled, who can I ask for reason?

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Wei Qian is a pretty good person, he is not confused despite his age, and has a straightforward personality. Otherwise, if he really wants to leave, the government will not be able to stop him.

"So much nonsense, can you be more cheerful at a young age?"

As if he had grasped his temperament, Wei Qian's tone still exaggerated Chi Guoguo's disgust, but there was a little smile in those wise eyes.

"···"

I don't know who said that he likes his temperament before?

Ye Zhao was full of helplessness, thinking that Rong Che would need some help when he went to Jing'an Academy to study in the future, and Wei Qian was really nice, and he seemed to have a lot of connections. After a while, he said, "Okay, my name is Yang Zhao, I live in Qingquan Village, Lingyang County."

"Isn't that... you brat, you even have a fake name?"

Nodding in the middle of nodding, Wei Qian suddenly stared and shouted, the bastard has too many thoughts.

"···"

Can he say that Ye Zhao is his real name?

Ye Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears, so he cupped his fists again: "It's okay, I really say goodbye, and I have to send my baby to school."

"You have kids already?"

How old does he look?

If possible, Wei Qian would also like to keep the focus, after all, he is really not young, but Yang Zhao is too difficult to describe, even if he wants to bear it, he can't bear it.

"Well, ten years old."

"What?"

ten years old?Is the brat teasing him?

Staring at him up and down, Wei Qian couldn't believe it anyway, he was already the father of a ten-year-old child, no matter how he looked at it, he was no more than eighteen at the most, so it was impossible to conceive and give birth at the age of seven or eight ?

"What are you thinking, stepson?"

Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, Ye Zhao was powerless to support his forehead. Who would have thought that a person who is more than seventy years old can have such a big brain?

"···"

Who is to blame?

Glancing at him angrily, Wei Qian took a few deep breaths secretly: "Okay, you go back first today, and I will visit the door some other day."

Tell him more, he is afraid that he is going to make a mistake, and when he goes to him in the future, remember to bring a bottle or two of life-saving pills or something. He hasn't lived enough yet, and he wants to live for two more years.

"it is good."

Clasping fists and clasping hands, Ye Zhao made a gesture to turn around, but suddenly stopped, and said solemnly: "Based on your old man's experience, you should know why I use a pseudonym. If you really think that I am a friend, keep a low profile when you come here. , and don’t tell anyone, I sold you the ginseng.”

Maybe telling him his name and address was a bit bold, but compared to the convenience in the future, that bit of boldness is nothing, and it is worth his gamble. Self-confidence let him know how terrible the result of entrapping him is.

"Ah."

Dazed for a while, Wei Qian nodded, if he didn't know his difficulties, how could he continue to make friends with him?

"Thanks."

Clasping fists again, Ye Zhao turned around and strode away.

"This son is definitely not something in the pool."

Just a moment ago, he clearly felt a frightening murderous aura that was fleeting.

Watching his figure disappear from sight, Wei Qian's face was heavy and his eyes were deep. He is not someone who has never seen the world. The murderous aura and strength that Yang Zhao occasionally exudes, even the noble son of the royal family may not be able to see it. Yes, he doesn't believe that he is really an ordinary farmer, even if he is, he can't live in the shallows all his life, and one day he will stand out and become famous!
