Chapter 26 The New Owner

The man persuaded, "Girl, the medicinal materials in this shop are really too expensive. I, I don't know how I can repay the girl in the future..."

The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Even he knows that he is poor. I'm afraid the girl's money will be fed to the dogs."

Su Chengying signaled the man that there was no need to panic, and then looked at the shopkeeper, "I'll just prescribe your medicine."

The shopkeeper saw that Su Chengying was really determined to help, so he simply followed the recipe and brought the required medicinal materials to the counter, "Three qian for Bupleurum, one tael of silver, one qian for Pinellia ternata, ten Wen , half a penny of Cistanche deserticola, 20 taels of silver, and licorice, skullcap, ginger, jujube..."

These medicinal materials are generally nearly a generation more expensive than most in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, especially Cistanche deserticola, which commands a sky-high price.

Su Chengying knew that this Cistanche deserticola only grew on cliffs, so the price had always been high. But even so, the shopkeeper charged several times the usual price.

"Did the girl regret it?" the shopkeeper sneered. After all, these days there are many people who act on a whim, and even more people give up when faced with difficulties.

However, Su Chengying carefully compared the man's prescription, then looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I saw on your prescription that it requires seven doses to cure the disease. In this case, you can use the rest of the prescription." Let’s get a few out.”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

Other medicinal materials are okay, but this Cistanche deserticola is very expensive. Even other shops that specialize in treating wealthy people can rarely use that much.

To put it bluntly, if you look at all the Dongfang’s drug stores, it would be difficult to find enough Cistanche deserticola for a few pairs!

"What, is there none?" Su Chengying asked.

The shopkeeper said, "The Cistanche deserticola in your prescription is the best medicinal material in all countries. If you really prescribe the medicine according to your prescription, do you have the money to buy it?"

At the same time, a carriage slowly drove into the alley.

Zhixu, who was driving the carriage, was wondering why his good master had to take this road today, but the road ahead was completely blocked.

Zhixu jumped off the carriage and went to inquire about it, only to learn that someone was causing trouble at Dongfang's shop.

Zhixu was originally curious as to who had the courage to cause trouble in Dongfang's shop, but when he stepped forward to take a look, he saw Su Chengying standing in the shop, confronting the shopkeeper...

"Master, it's the young lady who is causing trouble in the shop. We need to find another way..."

Zhixu returned to the carriage and was asking, but the answer was the sound of the door being pushed open.

Dongfang Yuebai stepped out of the carriage, stretched lazily, shook the fan in his hand and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so why not go watch the excitement."

Zhixu, "..."

When did you still have the hobby of listening to the roots of the wall?

Dongfang Yuebai walked a few steps among the crowd when he saw Su Chengying saying to the shopkeeper, "As long as you prepare the medicinal ingredients, I will give you money."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and determined that Su Chengying had no money. "If I really prepared the medicinal ingredients, but the girl didn't have the money to buy them, wouldn't I have to die? Besides, looking at the whole of Shangjing, whose pharmacy is not the first?" The one who gave me the money to get some medicine!"

Su Chengying glanced at the boy standing in the room and sneered, "With these thugs here, it shouldn't be the shopkeeper who should be afraid, it should be me."

When the people on the street heard these words, their chests felt as if there was a surge of fire in their chests.

Although not all of them have suffered from the Dongfang Pharmacy family, they have all seen it with their own eyes as the Dongfang Pharmacy bullies others and raises prices. In recent years, they have even directly called them poor people who cannot afford medicine.

Putting all the past experiences together, the people subconsciously helped Su Chengying.

"Take out the herbs first!"

"As long as you can bring out the medicinal materials, even if this girl has no money, we will all chip in to give it to you!" "Hurry up and bring out the medicinal materials!"

Amidst the shouts of the people, the shopkeeper was sweating. Feeling guilty and angry, he suddenly shouted to the boy, "Kick out the troublemakers!"

The boys immediately surrounded Su Chengying.

Su Chengying looked at the shopkeeper coldly, "You bully the people like this in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of Beiliang's king's law?"

The shopkeeper didn't have the slightest fear, "Our Oriental Medicine Shop is a business of the Duke of Enguo. If you talk to me about the king's laws, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Mother Zhang, who was still talking to the shop, was already frightened by what she saw.

She never expected that the shopkeeper, who had always been kind to her, would go behind the back of the masters in the mansion and bully the people based on the reputation of Feng'en Palace.

These people are crazy!
"What are you going to do? Let me go quickly!" Zhang's mother rushed in in a hurry.

The shopkeeper's face was full of impatience, but when he saw Mother Zhang clearly, he smiled happily, "It turns out to be Mother Zhang, but what kind of medicinal materials does the old lady need? Please wait for a moment, and wait until I blast out all these troublemakers. , and let someone make tea for you."

Zhang's mother used to be very proud of the respect shown to her by the shopkeepers of various shops, but now whenever she thinks of the angry eyes of the people outside, she feels her face turn red.

"Boom, boom! This is the new owner of your shop, the young lady of the Duke's Mansion!"

As soon as Zhang's mother's words came out, everyone was stunned.

The shopkeeper was stunned.

He had long heard that the eldest lady had handed over several shops to the new young lady, and he even knew that the young lady was not the daughter of an ordinary family, but a princess from the prosperous Tang Dynasty for marriage!
But the people who were still helping Su Chengying speak changed their attitudes at this moment.

"I was also wondering why anyone would be willing to help us. It turns out that they had other ideas."

"Who doesn't know that half of the shops in Beiliang and Beijing are owned by the Dongfang family. If they are all ruined, we, Beiliang, will suffer the loss, and we, the common people, will suffer."

"Shengtang Dog has ulterior motives!"

Nowadays, countries are at war all the year round. Even if Beiliang and the Tang Dynasty seem to be happy on the surface, in fact they are just smiling.

When the shopkeeper heard the people yelling and cursing, a sneer appeared on his lips.

Su Chengying seemed to have seen and heard nothing. He looked at the man beside him and asked, "How old is your child? How many days has he been suffering from typhoid fever?"

The man was stunned and said, "Eight years old, three, three days old."

Su Chengying nodded, then came to the counter, grabbed the medicinal materials one by one, divided them into seven equal portions and wrapped them.

She then looked at the man and said, "Warming the body and dispelling cold is a commonly used method to treat typhoid fever. There is not much problem with your prescription, but Cistanche deserticola has the effect of rejuvenating Yang and relieving adverse events. It is too medicinal for children. It was too heavy, so I replaced the Cistanche deserticola with Guizhi, which induces sweating and relieves the symptoms, soothes the lungs and relieves asthma. It is good for children and is cheap. Even if you need to take medicine later, you can only go to other shops for two taels of silver."

The original prescription was not available in other drug stores because the Cistanche deserticola in it was too expensive. The drug stores were afraid that the patients would not be able to take it for a long time, so they used other medicinal materials instead.

But Dongfang's shop was selling medicinal materials at exorbitant prices for their own selfish interests, with no regard for other people's lives.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Su Chengying was a medical expert, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

The man looked at the medicine in front of him but didn't dare to reach out, "You, you are from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, how can you really treat my son?"
