Chapter 18

"How do you sell ginseng?" Xie Wenjing was standing by a booth selling fake ginseng, just in the middle of the booth there was a servant dressed as a servant asking the price.

"Three or two, no deception!" The seller said loudly. He was a man in his 30s with a conspicuous scar on his face, which made Du Ma and others who followed Xie Wenjing flustered.

"It's too expensive! Three hundred Wen a piece?" The boy countered.

"Go over there for [-] Wen and buy it. I'll buy it for three taels. If you don't buy it, don't block others from buying it! Get out!" The big man yelled, and the boy's face changed in fright, and he ran away in a hurry.

"I'll buy ten." Xie Wenjing picked it up without being wordy.This big man looked scary, but Xie Wenjing in her previous life had dealt with him, and knew that this man was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield, and her hearing was not good, so she followed him to start a business of buying and selling fake ginseng.

I don't know the recipe he has always made. The radish is made like real ginseng, and the price is really expensive.

But compared to fake ginseng, it is outrageously expensive, but compared to real ginseng, it is extremely cheap.

For real ginseng in pharmacies, as long as it is several decades old, it will cost at least a few hundred taels, and if it is hundreds of years old, it will cost at least a thousand.It is ginseng that is more than ten years old, and it costs dozens of taels of silver.

Some of the big man's fake ginseng look like hundreds of years, some look like decades, which is exactly what Xie Wenjing needs to replace the ginseng of her father.

Madam Du and the others did not dare to say anything, and watched as the young lady spent 30 taels of silver to buy these ginseng.

Although it looks like ginseng, the three of them are all from everyone. They have seen the price of real ginseng. These ginseng are probably fake. I don’t know why the lady bought it?

After buying the ginseng, Xie Wenjing also bought fake Cordyceps and Ganoderma lucidum. It was impossible to tell the difference just by looking at the appearance.

After leaving Qingshi Lane, Xie Wenjing wanted to buy thin thread and silk cloth for herself, and was going to go back to deal with that old woman, while Xie Wenjing herself took Du Ma and Mei Lan to an alley, and went to Gu's to see what her father ate. Drugs, what are the disadvantages?

The family's surname is Gu, and they came here from other places. They used to practice medicine in Yangzhou Huichuntang, but they were squeezed out by the doctors of Huichuntang. Later, they opened their own ancestral medical clinic, but they only saw doctors, prescribed prescriptions, and did not operate pharmacies. , This is really settled in the alleys of Yangzhou.Xie Wenjing knew about it in her previous life.

"This is a purging medicine, used for high fever syndrome. This medicine is powerful and should not be used for a long time. Otherwise, once the internal organs are damaged, it can make even a healthy person become weak. They may even die of weakness."

The grandfather of the Gu family, Xie Wenjing, was the receptionist. When Xie Wenjing brought out the cotton cloth full of medicinal juice, the son of the Gu family wanted to refuse.

A few years ago, my father was framed because he accidentally got involved in the house fights of the aristocratic family. In the end, he was kicked out of the Huichun Hall, and he was reduced to seeing a doctor at home to earn some money to support the family.

Xie Wenjing paid 20 taels of silver as soon as she made a move, and said that she was only here for consultation, and she didn't need to prescribe another prescription, and she didn't want them to come forward.

The grandfather of the Gu family came out from behind this time, nodded, and signaled Xie Wenjing to follow him in.

"Old doctor, may I ask, if a grown man has been bedridden for more than two years, his whole body is emaciated, his complexion is dull, his palms are withered, his breathing is shallow, and he takes this kind of medicine all year round, what will happen?"

Xie Wenjing stared at the old man and asked.

The old doctor's face suddenly looked incredible, and suddenly his expression changed again: "You go! Just pretend that you have never been here, and I can't do anything. I am not alone, and I have to support a family. Please go!"

At this time, Xie Wenjing not only knew more clearly that her father's illness was caused by that old woman, but also knew clearly that it would not be so easy for her to recover after losing her body for two years without a year or a half to cure her. .

"Miss?" Mama Du turned pale with shock at this time, the cotton cloth soaked in medicine that Miss brought out was obviously the medicine that the elder took!

The young lady entered the bamboo garden in the morning, and when she returned to the pomegranate garden to change, she asked herself a question. The young lady said that she spilled it when she was feeding the old man the medicine in the morning.

Could it be that the old lady dared to risk the disgrace of the world and poison her stepson?

Xie Wenjing waved her hand violently, preventing Mama Du from panicking.But Mei Lan was already in a daze at this time.Never thought it would be so serious.

"Thank you for letting me know, please rest assured, I have never been here today, and I will never come again in the future!"

Xie Wenjing thanked the old doctor of the Gu family, and stopped embarrassing this old doctor who is wise and safe.

When Xie Wenjing turned around to leave with Du's mother Mei Lan, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind: "Medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as qi. A bowl of rice porridge or miscellaneous grain soup is fine every day. Breathing exercises twice a day. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth, and when exhaling, continuously emit six sounds of Xu, He, Hu, Si, Chu, and Hee, whether sitting, lying or standing."

Xie Wenjing was overjoyed, this trip was not in vain, and it was much better to get the old doctor's advice than to stop the drug and change to rice porridge.

"Can radishes be eaten?" Suddenly Xie Wenjing thought that what she planned to use to replace ginseng was radishes. Even Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps sinensis were made from various radishes.

"Radish regulates qi and helps to clear the tonic properties of ginseng and ganoderma in the body as soon as possible."

Satisfied, Xie Wenjing took Du Ma and Mei Lan away, and Zhihua also bought the items Xie Wenjing told her. The four of them changed their original clothes and restored the original decorations, then returned to Xie's house in silence.

What Xie Wenjing reported to her grandmother was that she planned to embroider two handkerchiefs as a gift to Mrs. Zhao.

Grandma was even more happy when she got such a reward.

"Look, I know this kid is sensible, embroider two handkerchiefs for Mrs. Zhao? Haha! I wonder if Mrs. Zhao will be moved to death when she receives a handkerchief embroidered by her future daughter-in-law?"

"Old Madam Mingjian, this is really ignorant! Madam Zhao deserves to be disgusted." Li Momo, who was beside her grandmother, was also happy with her master.

"Miss, this old slave thought that it was just the old lady who cared about her granddaughter and wanted to break up your marriage and make her granddaughter happy. I never thought that she would be so ruthless and poison the old man. Miss, the old man's body can't be dragged on any longer. , to reveal her true face as soon as possible, we go to the government to sue her for poisoning her stepson?"

Du Ma was so angry that she was crying and talking.

"Yes, let's sue her, and she will be ruined!" Mei Lan was also so angry that her face turned purple.

"Let's tell the Elder Master to go with Madam!" Zhihua also knew about Xie Wenjing's father's medicine, and was very angry.

"Calm down, all of you. We can sue. If there is a big trouble, that woman must push it clean. She may say that the bamboo garden has always been taken care of by my mother, and she has never intervened."
