Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 69 Books
Su Tong's eyesight is naturally extraordinary. When this girl walks into an antique shop, although she doesn't say that she can pick a big leak or something casually, she can pick out valuable things from those messy things that the shopkeeper treats as garbage. It is a good item, but it is absolutely not difficult.

After half a month, Miss Su often makes thousands of dollars in one hand, and the speed of making money is actually faster than opening a shop. After all, most of these shops are not open for three years, and they are open for three years. After a commotion, she became famous, and everyone on the street knew that there was a girl who was proficient in literature, antiques.

You must know that there is no shortcut to antiques. Generally, only wealthy people can play them. After all, if you want to learn to identify them, you have to see the authentic ones first. Those who come from rich and noble families, that kind of antiques are in their hands. Children who play with it are naturally easy to enter the profession in this respect.

Those people on the street, although they didn't like Su Tong, they treated her politely. After all, no one knew about Su Tong's background. Although she was wearing men's clothes, she could tell that she was a young My little lady, at this age, has such accomplishments in this area. Obviously, she must have come from a wealthy family. Even the little lady of a wealthy businessman may not have such insight. Without a background of hundreds of years, where Can you raise a little lady who treats Wenwan and antiques as playthings?
So, Su Tong changed into simple men's clothes, and wandered around the street with the maid for more than half a month without causing any trouble.

It's just that the nearby shops all recognize this little lady, and it becomes even more difficult for Su Tong to make extra money quickly. Whatever she wants to buy, the seller will think twice and refuse to sell it easily.

Fortunately, Su Tong didn't expect to really make money from these crooked ways. The main purpose was just to go out for fun and earn some pocket money by the way.

Even if you don’t buy anything, walking around, feeling the charm brought by some antique objects, and listening to ancient stories about these things is also a great enjoyment.

On this day, as soon as Su Tong walked to the gate of Jubao Zhai, he heard the shopkeeper Wang inside, dumbfounded, saying: "Brother Yi, this thing in your hand has no name or surname. It's just these broken books. If you give you two hundred guan, you will return it." Too little? If it doesn’t look like it’s old, let alone two hundred, I wouldn’t release twenty.”

Although books are expensive these days, it depends on what kind of book it is!No matter how expensive the book is, it doesn't sell for five hundred guan.This kid actually asked for five hundred guan, and everyone in Jubaozhai obviously regarded him as a lunatic.

When Su Tong was outside, he heard bursts of laughter.

The person called Xiao Yi was obviously a young man, with a childish voice and a hint of crying: "Shopkeeper Wang, you also know that my mother is seriously ill, and the medicine is too expensive, and I have to use ginseng every day to suspend it." Fate, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have sold the treasure my father left behind, so you can do me a favor, even if I don't have five hundred guan, even if I give [-] guan, I will admit it, no matter how little, it is really impossible, this But the baby left by my father."

Su Tong strolled in, and before he could speak, he saw shopkeeper Wang raised his eyebrows and forced a smile on his face: "Miss Su is here? But what good things do you like?"

Don't look at the friendly face, but shopkeeper Wang cursed secretly in his heart, this little ancestor hasn't entered his Jubaozhai for more than ten days. Xiu, he can definitely earn a thousand guan, how could he not feel sorry for being tricked by someone so inexplicably?
Therefore, as soon as he saw Su Tong, shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but think of his guqin, and his heart ached so badly.

Su Tong ignored him, and asked the envoy to take the handkerchief, cleaned her hands, and said with a smile: "Brother B, what a good thing you are, let me see."

Little Brother Yi was a little embarrassed, obviously he didn't recognize Su Tong.

The shopkeeper Wang frowned, but still said: "Brother Yi, you haven't come here for a long time. I don't know that Mrs. Su is a celebrity in our street now. She has good eyesight. Give her the palm of your hand. It's a good thing, maybe Mrs. Su will buy it."

Having said that, shopkeeper Wang didn't think that the shrewd Su Tong would want those broken books.Unexpectedly, Su Tong just glanced at it, and immediately pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, five hundred guan, I want it."

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention that little brother Yi was stunned, even shopkeeper Wang spit out a sip of tea, and said in surprise: "Little lady, these things are just manuscripts from the previous dynasty. Judging from the handwriting, they are not written by famous authors." , the contents inside are messy, I can’t even read it, it looks like the name of the medicine recorded, but it doesn’t exactly look like a medical book, is it too much for you to give five hundred guan?”

To be honest, if shopkeeper Wang hadn't been an acquaintance with this little brother B, knew his mother, knew that he was a dutiful son, and an honest man, even if it was two hundred pennies, he wouldn't be able to buy this ancient book.

Su Tong smiled: "For most people, this is really not a good thing, but for some people, this thing is hard to find."

Little Brother Yi was afraid that Su Tong would repent, so he stuffed the bookcase into Su Tong's hands on the spot, and he was not afraid that she would not give the money. Five hundred pennies is not a small amount. Ten strings of silver is not bad, how could it be possible to carry so much money?

Su Tong sent someone to the bank to withdraw money, while he sat on a chair, carefully opened the dusty box, and flipped through the books whose pages had turned yellow and seemed to break if touched.

The book is hand-copied, very thick, there are six copies in total, the handwriting inside is strong, but a little scribbled, although it can't be said to be bad, it is definitely not famous.

Su Tong knew it, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Not long after, a servant brought the money in a cart, Little Brother Yi heaved a sigh of relief, Su Tong also picked up the bookcase and planned to leave, when suddenly a hoarse voice said: "Little lady, wait a moment Wait, can this book be given to the old man?"

Shopkeeper Wang was startled, turned his head abruptly, and said in a daze, "It's Doctor Wang? Why are you here?"

Su Tong also turned back, and saw standing in front of him was a thin old man with gray hair and beard, who looked quite old, and most of the people around him obviously knew him and respected him very much.

Some called 'Medical Officer Wang' and some called him 'Doctor Wang', all of them were enthusiastic.

Shopkeeper Wang saw that he was looking at those torn books, his eyes were bright and green, and the corners of his mouth twitched, his heart beating—could it be a good thing?But I haven't heard that Dr. Wang has any accomplishments in antiques?

As soon as Su Tong saw him approaching, there was a scent of medicine coming to his nostrils. Although it was not so strong compared with those old doctors she had seen, it could be seen that this man was also a doctor, and a Very knowledgable.

However, what Su Tong noticed was not the doctor, but the man sitting behind the doctor. Speaking of which, she still had a little relationship with this man. She once rescued this beloved pot. peony'.
