Fair Lady

Chapter 27 Encounter

Gao Mingde told Shujie about the efficacy of those pills, and the name of the medicine was pasted on each porcelain bottle.

"Little brother, thank you for trusting me. These medicines are really effective, easy to store, and convenient to use. I'm penniless now, and it's my first time in Beijing, so I have to sell them at a low price. You can give me 100 taels of silver, uh, it’s really not good, at least 80 taels, in fact, 100 taels is not even enough to buy medicinal materials, so let’s make friends. Of course, you also helped I."

Shujie nodded in agreement, even if he didn't have these medicines, he would still be willing to buy Shuwen's prescriptions and dietary prescriptions for 100 taels.Not only did this Mr. Gao not exaggerate his illness, but he also bluntly said that his condition was getting better and better, which proved that this Mr. Gao not only had excellent medical skills, but also had a good character.

While Gao Mingde turned around to get a pen and paper to write the prescription, Shuyao took out three 100 taels of silver bills from the mahogany box and slipped them to Shujie.This Gao Mingde has been very prosperous during the eight years in the capital, and has a good relationship with the royal family, many high-ranking families, and powerful officials. Shuyao sincerely hopes that her elder brother can make friends with Gao Mingde.

Moreover, after a year, these dozens of bottles of medicine may not be available for 3000 taels of silver. Just that bottle of detoxification pill called "Wanhua Dan" is said to be worth 300 taels of silver, and it is extremely difficult to buy. There are six in the porcelain vase.

Shujie doesn't know that much, and he doesn't know Shuyao's intention to make him and Gao Mingde friendly, but he is like Xia Linxuan, he has a chivalrous heart, as long as he is sure that the other party is not a bad person, he is always willing to do things that are capable of helping .

Thinking this way, he handed the bank note to Gao Mingde: "The capital city is expensive, and Mr. Gao is not familiar with the place, so it's better to prepare more money."

Gao Mingde looked at the amount of the silver note, and was greatly moved after being surprised: "Little brother is kind and righteous, but I really need money for my brother, so I won't pretend to refuse it, even if I borrowed it from you, I owe you a share." As a favor, please tell me your name, little brother."

Shujie smiled and said, "My little brother's surname is Xia, and his name is Shujie. Brother Gao, don't worry about it. You have helped us a lot by treating my little brother and making us feel at ease about his health."

Gao Mingde still made a big gift, the three brothers and sisters were not richly dressed, and he had already said that at least 80 taels of silver would be enough, but Brother Xia gave him 300 taels, they hadn't used his medicine yet, so they couldn't talk about it. Knowing the value of the medicine, it was obvious that he just wanted to help him.It is his blessing to meet such a kind and benevolent person.Of course, he will definitely repay this kindness in the future.

Gao Mingde prescribed medicine and food prescriptions, and wrote down the efficacy and usage of various pills and powders in detail, then sent Shujie and the three of them out of the inn, and went to the counter to pay five taels of silver: "I'll have more tonight Stay for one night, and in addition, prepare three fresh noodles for one night and deliver them to my room." He hasn't eaten any rice since last night.

The clerk responded loudly, and when Gao Mingde turned to go up the stairs, he muttered to the accountant: "You really have been taken advantage of, and you actually believe in a counterfeit drug seller, won't you eat dead people?"

Gao Mingde snorted coldly in his heart: "People like you are not worthy of taking my medicine." But he sincerely thanked Shujie, otherwise it would be really difficult to meet someone who can trust him, and he doesn't know if he can go to the capital smoothly.

As soon as the three of Shuyao stepped into the "Yuncaifang", they bumped into Mrs. Zhou head-on, followed by a little girl in a plum red brocade dress, who was her cousin Xia Shuqing, who was four years older than herself.

Uncle Xia Linyu has three sons and two daughters. Among them, the eldest son Xia Shuyi, the second son Xia Shuyao, and the second daughter Xia Shuqing are all born to the Zhou family. The eldest daughter Xia Shulin and the youngest son Xia Shuyu are concubines.

Xia Shuqing is much more cunning than her parents and her two direct brothers. She always has an elegant and gentle ladylike demeanor in front of her. Because her fiancé Guo Jinnan rescued her concubine Xia Shulin from the lake that year, Jiji reluctantly parted with her and let her fiancé marry her. After marrying the concubine sister, she spread the reputation of "kindness and generosity".

Guo Jinnan was three years older than Xia Shuqing, and the two had been engaged since childhood. Guo's father had rescued Xia Linyu once, and the two families were considered close friends.Unexpectedly, when Guo Jinnan was 14 years old, his father was killed by a bandit, and his family property was taken away by his uncle to "pay off the debt". The mother and son had to go to Yulin Town to defect to Xia's mansion, and bought a dowry near the town with Guo Jinnan's little dowry. A small courtyard, and set up a few acres of land for rent in a village in the outskirts.

I wanted to wait for Xia Shuqing and Ji, and it happened that Guo Jinnan's filial piety period had passed, so I hurriedly married the two, and then Guo Jinnan went to Beijing to take the exam, but he married Xia Shulin later, and the mother and son still felt ashamed of Xia Shuqing for this.

Not long after, Xia Shuqing married the eldest son of a wealthy businessman. Unexpectedly, less than half a year after the marriage, the man died of illness for unknown reasons, and Xia Shuqing was also kicked out of the house.

At the same time, Guo Jinnan passed the Jinshi examination and was assigned to be a county magistrate in a large county on the outskirts of Beijing. He heard that his future was promising.It happened that Xia Shulin was about to give birth, so she had to stay in Yulin Town to wait for the birth, and then take her to Beijing after the child's full moon. Mother Guo also stayed to take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson.

As a result, Xia Shulin had dystocia, and died of bleeding after giving birth to a son. In order to take care of her poor nephew, Xia Shuqing married Guo Jinnan as her continuation.

When Shuyao was living in Weiyuanhou's Mansion, Xia Shuqing visited Mrs. Hou several times as Shuyao's cousin, trying to get close.It's a pity that Mrs. Hou Yao Xuelan is so shrewd, she is very indifferent to her, and even analyzed with Shuyao the tricks in Xia Shuqing's ups and downs in her marriage.

Later, Shuyao inadvertently rescued Shuqing's close maid, Qiaohe, and Qiaohe confirmed Shuqing's viciousness. It turned out that Shulin was forced to marry Guo Jinnan when she fell into the water, and her tragic death during childbirth was all caused by Shuqing. planned.Qiaohe also escaped because she was pregnant with Guo Jinnan's child and was carried into an aunt, and was persecuted by Shuqing.

Although Shuyao in her previous life didn't have much contact with Shuqing, and she didn't plot anything against her, it's better to stay away from such hypocritical and vicious people.

As soon as Zhou saw Shujie and the three of them, he spat heavily on the ground: "Is this also where you came from? There are things in life that no one has taught, and you still want to learn how to twist needles and thread elegantly?"

Shuyao tilted her head and looked at Shujie: "Brother, is auntie saying that she has a life that no one taught her? Does it mean that she is uneducated? Mother said that spitting everywhere is something that uneducated rough people do, how dirty it is. ah!"

Shuwen also frowned: "That's right, Mother said that if there is a virus, it will be transmitted to people around through saliva."

Most of the guests who came to "Yuncaifang" were women, and most of them were from relatively well-off families. Seeing Zhou's spitting and heavy voice made me feel uncomfortable at first, but hearing the words of Shuyao sister and brother made me even more uncomfortable. It was looking at Zhou with contempt, and they all covered their mouths and noses and pushed away.

"It's disgusting. It's true that people live without being taught."

"That's right, people at such an age don't know the truth that even children understand."

"Shopkeeper, why don't you hurry up and find someone to clean it up? There are so many of us here, don't catch any disease."

……

Zhou was so angry that her face was red and white, but she didn't dare to swear here, it would be terrible if she bumped into any lady or young lady. She just offended the golden tongue next to the emperor a few days ago, and she hasn't forgotten it yet.

Shu Qing next to Mrs. Zhou wished she could find a crack in the ground to sneak in. This mother is getting more and more shameless. The last time she quarreled with the third aunt at "Huitong Bank", she spit out like this, and was almost caught by the bank's staff. Get out, why did you forget so quickly?If their Xia family hadn't been deprived of their titles, her mother is now a marquis, how could she be so... vulgar?
