Di Ji Daughter

Chapter 6
When Du Ran came back, his face was full of smiles.No need to think about it, it must be Du Zhang who said something good!
"Mother, you gave them the stewed chicken, what shall we eat that night?" In order to wait for them, Shui Qingyue didn't eat a piece of meat at all, but took a sip of the soup, and Feng Qingling just took a sip.

"Yes! Mom, I'm so hungry now!" Feng Qingling echoed at this time.

Hearing this, the smile on Du Ran's face froze immediately.Then he forced a smile and comforted them. "It's okay, I still have some brown rice porridge and some sweet potatoes at home, just wait, mother will make them for you."

"But what I want to eat is chicken, not sweet potatoes, let alone the porridge with only a few grains of brown rice." As he spoke, Feng Qingling burst into tears.Her chicken, that rich and delicious chicken.

"I want to eat chicken too. I'm so grown up, I don't even know what chicken tastes like!" Feng Qingxiang lowered his head with red eyes after he said harshly.

Frowning, Du Ran was a little angry, but finally coaxed. "Well... Tomorrow I'm going to the city to sell embroidery goods, and I'll buy a chicken with the money from the embroidery goods. What do you think?" Du Ran was expecting their reaction.

"Forget it! After buying the chicken, what will we eat in the future? And it's still a question of whether the money sold is enough to buy a chicken." After saying something sad, Feng Qingxiang turned around and went back to the room.He knew that his words would hurt his mother's heart, but how many times was this the first time?As long as he could remember, whether it was a small piece of meat given by others or a few snacks, as long as there was something good, my mother would always think of his uncle's house first, and they would always only have to watch.

Looking at Feng Qingxiang's leaving back, Du Ran's expression sank completely.

When she turned her head again, not only was Feng Qingling, but even Shui Qingyue was gone.

sleepless night

The next day, Du Ran made breakfast early and went to the city.And as soon as she left, Shui Qingyue followed secretly.

The village was not too far from the city, and they entered the city after an hour or so of walking.

As the capital of Zuoxi Kingdom, Xidu is absolutely prosperous.

After Shui Qingyue walked around the city, she went directly to the most famous Ren'an Hall.I heard that this store was opened by the son of a famous imperial doctor in the palace. Many wealthy people in the Western Capital go to this pharmacy to see a doctor and buy medicines, and the medicinal materials in her hands are expensive, and ordinary medicinal material stores cannot afford her. of the price.

As soon as he entered the pharmacy, a drug boy greeted him. "Girl, are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"

Glancing at the somewhat noisy shop, Shui Qingyue spoke calmly. "I'm a drug seller, and I want to meet your shopkeeper."

After looking Shui Qingyue up and down, Yaotong finally nodded after hesitating for a moment. "Wait, I'll report."

Soon the shopkeeper of the pharmacy came out and invited Shui Qingyue to the side hall. "I don't know what medicinal materials the girl wants to sell in our pharmacy?"

Shui Qingyue was quite satisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude, after all, he didn't despise her just because she was dressed in shabby clothes and covered her face.

Take out the two hundred-year-old ganoderma lucidum from the basket and gently place them on the table. "I don't know how much money the shopkeeper can pay?"

After seeing the ganoderma lucidum, the shopkeeper's eyes straightened and brightened.After hesitantly glanced at Shui Qingyue, the shopkeeper opened his mouth and said. "The appearance and age of these two Ganoderma lucidum are worth about 500 taels of silver."

500 taels?I have been a princess for many years, so I know the market price of Ganoderma lucidum.According to the appearance and age of these two Ganoderma lucidum, let alone 500 taels for two, the price of one of them is more than 500 taels.

Pursing her lips, she looked at the two ganoderma lucidum on the table and hesitated, then Shui Qingyue carefully took out the biggest ganoderma lucidum and ginseng from the basket. "The shopkeeper, let's see how much money these two treasures of mine are worth?"

Seeing the things on the table, the shopkeeper suddenly took a breath, and couldn't move away from those glowing straight eyes for a long time.The hand touching the ganoderma lucidum and ginseng trembled slightly because he couldn't control his inner excitement.Excellent!The best of the best!
"I wonder if the shopkeeper can give you a satisfactory price?" Shui Qingyue was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's response.

Hearing this, a hint of cunning flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes.Put the ganoderma lucidum and ginseng back on the table. The shopkeeper pretended to be indifferent. "Although the ganoderma and ginseng are not small in size, they were not careful when they were dug out, and there are many scars. So, for these two plus the two ganodermas before, I will give you 500 taels of silver. What do you think? ?” Looking at the girl’s clothes, one can tell that she is a child of a poor family, and one thousand five taels of silver should be regarded as an astronomical figure for her!
500 taels, and a lot of scars?
Smiling coldly, Shui Qingyue stood up and gently put the things on the table back into the basket. "It seems that the shopkeeper doesn't sincerely want to do this business with me, since that's the case, I won't bother!" Shui Qingyue said as if she was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Hearing this, Shui Qingyue couldn't help but smile, but the moment she turned around, her eyes were indifferent. "I don't know what the shopkeeper means?"

After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper spoke again. "I'll add another 500 taels. What do you think?"

"The price is 20 taels."

"What?" It was obvious that the shopkeeper was shocked by her words.

"Let's not talk about those two top-quality ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, you will not lose 20 taels of those two hundred-year-old ganoderma lucidum. If you give these treasures to noble people in any way, the value in exchange is more than 20 taels, right? Of course, if the cabinet is too expensive, I will not force it. After all, as long as it is gold, it will shine everywhere?" Not a question, but affirmative.

For a moment, the shopkeeper was startled again by Shui Qingyue's words and the sure-fire confidence on her face.Is she really just an ordinary country girl? "The amount of money is too large, I have to ask my master for instructions."

At this moment, a servant came in and leaned over and whispered something in the shopkeeper's ear.

Looking at the servant's mouth, a smile flickered from the corner of Shui Qingyue's mouth.They wouldn't know that although Shui Qingyue didn't hear what they said, she understood what the servant was saying based on his lips.Because she understands lip language.

According to the situation, the owner of this medicine store is here, and he is also clear about the situation in this side hall.She didn't care about this, all she cared about was money.

After a while, the shopkeeper turned his head and said, flushing Qingyue. "It's up to you, 20 taels, and I'll get you the silver right now."

"Wait, the storekeepers of these medicinal materials should also give a price!" Shui Qingyue took out the last few common medicines from the back basket.

After looking at the common but well-preserved herbs, and at the country girl in front of him, the shopkeeper said. "20 taels."

Shui Qingyue nodded, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Looking at the girl in front of him, after the shopkeeper went out, the servant who came in behind opened his mouth and asked Qingyue. "I don't know where these medicinal materials come from, girl."

"Of course they were picked on the mountain!" After selling a lot of silver, Shui Qingyue was in a good mood, so she answered him.

"I don't know the girl..."

"Do you want to ask me where I picked it? Or do you want to ask me if I know medical skills? Or do you want to know?" Before the servant could finish his sentence, Shui Qingyue gave it to him with a half-smile. interrupted.

"I..." How did this girl know that she wanted to ask this?

Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Shui Qingyue twitched the corner of her mouth before speaking again. "What to do? I don't want to tell you."

"you……"

Just then the shopkeeper came in. "Girl, hurry up."

Shui Qingyue was still a little excited after receiving a thick stack of bank notes.She used to be a princess, this amount of money was nothing to her in the past, but it means a lot to her now.Not only can she make the current family no longer hungry, but also let them live a good life.And the point is, she earned the money herself.

The shopkeeper is also very careful, knowing that it is not safe for a girl to carry so much money, and it is not convenient to use it.So I was given 190 silver notes with a denomination of 500 yuan, one 100 taels, five 20 taels, and [-] taels of broken silver.

"In the future, if the girl picks any good medicinal materials, they will be delivered directly. The price will definitely not let you suffer. By the way, don't you know the girl's last name?"

After hesitating for a moment, Shui Qingyue spoke truthfully. "Feng, the shopkeeper calls me Qingying." After all, she believes that she still has a lot of business contacts with them.

"Since that's the case, then don't call me the shopkeeper. My name is Jia Quan. You can call me Uncle Jia."

Shui Qingyue smiled and nodded, exchanged some polite words with Uncle Jia, and borrowed their toilet before leaving Renhe Hall.

After Shui Qingyue left, Jia Quan turned around and went directly upstairs to a luxuriously decorated room with the medicinal materials bought from her.

"Master, the matter has been settled. This is the treasure I got from her." Putting down the herbs in his hands, Jia Quan looked respectfully at the handsome man opposite who was drinking authentic fragrant tea.

The man was dressed in a gold-rimmed black brocade robe. Although he was only in his early twenties, he had a world-renowned handsome face, an incomparably fair complexion, a high nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows, and a few strands of black hair on his forehead. Her long hair fluttered with the wind, her bottomless starry eyes, coupled with her deep pupils showing a hint of coldness, she was naturally domineering without anger.The icy face still couldn't hide the intoxicating aura, it was a man who shook people's hearts.

Glancing indifferently at the things on the table, the man nodded. "Sure enough, they are all the best of the best! It's only 20 taels, and the business is not bad! But, the identity of that girl?" The man just glanced coldly at the guard beside him.

"I found out, she is really not an ordinary country girl. It turns out that she is the eldest daughter Feng Qingying who was kicked out of the house by Feng Liuyun a few years ago. The family of Du's mother who was divorced is in Duyun Village not far from here." , their life was very miserable, the four of them mainly lived on wild vegetables. Their mother, Du Ran, was even more harsh on them, either beating or scolding, and Feng Qingying almost died several times. And according to According to the news from below, Feng Qingying rolled down the mountain a few days ago and lost her memory due to a hit on her head. As for these medicinal materials, she must have obtained them by accident when she was looking for wild vegetables on the mountain!" The guard Su Feng nodded and reported road.

The man said thoughtfully. "So it's her! If she is Feng Wenting's eldest grandson, then it's not surprising that she knows medicine!" After a moment of hesitation, the man ordered Su Feng again. "Make people stare at her!"

"What do you mean, lord?"

The boy's eyes dimmed a bit. "Since she is Feng Liuyun's eldest daughter, she will be useful to us from time to time."

"Subordinates obey!"
