Chapter 176 Go to Qihuangzhai Again
Yuan Wanru slept very comfortably. When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Because of Lu Wei, she didn't need to pay her respects to Wang Min recently and could sleep more peacefully.
She was really sleepy last night. She couldn't remember clearly what Lu Jiangnian said to her before going to bed. It seemed that he mentioned forgiveness?
When she meets the person tonight, she will ask him about it.
Breakfast consisted of millet porridge with red dates, a tray of steamed buns, and three refreshing and delicious side dishes.
After eating, she went out. Today she was going to Qihuangzhai.
Qihuangzhai still had its crooked signboard hanging on its wall. It looked completely devoid of any aura and there were no customers coming or going.
Yuan Wanru suddenly felt strange. With Qihuangzhai having such a complete collection of medicines, it shouldn't be so quiet here. Why didn't she see anyone else after coming here twice?
When she stepped into the room, she saw Su Shaodong, who had received them that day, and an old man with gray hair staring at each other. They must have had an argument, and both of them looked unhappy.
Hearing the footsteps, the old man yelled in annoyance: "I'm not in a good mood today. If you need to see a doctor, come back another day."
Su Shaodong turned around and saw Yuan Wanru. His originally angry eyes suddenly brightened.
"Is it you?"
He looked behind her and didn't see Lu Jiangnian, so he laughed even more happily.
"Today, there are no annoying people. I wonder what the beauty is doing here. Do you need the mandarin duck lotus?"
The old man was about to get angry because of Su Shaodong's frivolous attitude, but when he heard the three words "Yuanyang Lotus", he was stunned for a moment.
"Are you the one who bought the mandarin duck lotus last time?"
Yuan Wanru nodded slowly: "Yes, I came here this time just to ask, are there any more mandarin duck lotus?"
Su Shaodong said in surprise: "Have you used up the mandarin duck lotus from last time?"
Of course not, only one fifth of it was used, but Yuan Wanru said calmly: "Yes, it's all used up, so here I come to you again."
Both Su Shaodong and the old man looked solemn.
"What on earth do you use this medicine for?"
Yuan Wanru deliberately said mysteriously: "The mandarin duck lotus can repel insects. I just bought it to repel insects."
Deworming?
Although the mandarin duck lotus is not worth a thousand or two thousand gold coins, it is more expensive than ginseng. The last time she bought two kilograms, she spent nearly two hundred taels.
Who would use two hundred taels of medicinal herbs to drive away insects?
There was a hint of amusement in Su Shaodong's eyes. After these people left last time, he went to inquire about the mark on the carriage and found out that she was from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
Later, it was learned that the old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was in a coma and had sought medical treatment from many sources but to no avail. However, she was cured by a miracle doctor who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
What kind of insect was she expelling? A poisonous insect?
"So that's how it is. Unfortunately, the mandarin duck lotus has been sold out. If you want to buy some, you can only wait until next year."
"It's rare for a beauty to come here. If you need anything else, just tell me. All medicinal herbs will be sold at a discount."
Su Shaodong looked smooth-talking, but Yuan Wanru didn't mind.
Xuan Qing mentioned it last time. This man is quite skilled in martial arts. He runs a Qihuangzhai which has a complete range of medicines but seems to be doing poorly in business. It is very interesting no matter how you think about it.
"Really? How much is the discount? Is it half the price?"
Su Shaodong's eyes turned and he laughed: "Others don't have it, but since the beauty wants it, then the price will be halved."
The old man behind him couldn't help but roar: "Prodigal son, who allowed you to do this!"
Su Shaodong snorted coldly: "It's you, stinky old man, you said that you would hand over Qihuangzhai to me, don't I have the final say?"
"If you don't agree, I will never manage this store again."
With just one sentence, the old man's arrogance was completely extinguished.
Yuan Wanru was not polite and ordered a few of the most expensive herbs: "Do you have 300-year-old ginseng? If you have, I'll take them all."
"Do you have any Tianshan Snow Lotus left? If you do, I'll take them all."
"Give me all the ambergris you have."
"There are also bezoars and ganoderma. I want them all."
Su Shaodong's face was completely frozen.
This woman really knew medicine. She bought all rare and precious medicinal materials, including ambergris, which was as expensive as gold. There was none in Dajing City. She bought all of them from merchants in the Western Regions, but she actually said she wanted them all.
There were a few other things, and just listening to them made his heart bleed.
He said in a gentle voice: "These things, taken together, are estimated to be worth tens of thousands of taels. My beauty, you should be careful with your money. If you buy medicinal herbs and don't store them properly, they will easily rot, and then you will suffer a great loss."
That’s right, even if the price is discounted by half, it still costs tens of thousands of taels, which shows how rare and precious the medicinal materials are.
"I have money, so you don't need to worry about it, or do you mean that what you just said doesn't count?"
A pair of clear eyes looked at Su Shaodong, as if saying, are you lying?
Su Shaodong's face turned red all of a sudden. He...
This woman looked just like him, with big eyes, a straight nose, and a generous and cheerful personality. Now that she was looking at him like this, how could he resist?
"I……"
"No, absolutely not, I won't agree to it."
The old man was so angry that his face turned green.
He strode over and stood between the two of them. "Girl, don't try to seduce me with your honey. Take your people and leave here immediately. If he dares to sell it to you, I will stop him even if I risk my life."
Su Shaodong's face also fell.
"Old Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? I made a promise before, so am I not keeping my word?"
"I'm the young master. My father isn't here, so I have the final say. Get out of my way."
Old Man Wu stood up straight, glaring angrily, "I won't let you do that. If your father comes back, he will be pissed off by you. One of us will have to die anyway, so why not stop him today? It's better than your father dying."
"If you want to sell it to her, you might as well kill me. You are a lustful fool. She is already married, why are you trying to please her?"
"If you have this idea, why don't you find an unmarried girl and satisfy your father's concern."
The way Yuan Wanru combed her hair looked like she was married, and Old Man Wu was not blind, so of course he could tell.
Because of this, he became even more angry, with a fierce light in his eyes. The way he looked at her, he felt that she was a villain who used her beauty to cheat people of their money.
Su Shaodong's thoughts were exposed, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to look at Yuan Wanru.
"Nonsense, I just feel that she..."
Yuan Wanru listened with great interest, and suddenly took out a porcelain bottle from her purse: "Don't rush to send me away, I came here today for another matter."
"The mandarin duck lotus I bought last time is in this porcelain bottle. Take a look and see if this pill works?"
"If you want, why don't we exchange?"
When the mandarin duck lotus was mentioned, Old Man Wu and Su Shaodong both looked at the porcelain vase in her hand.
Su Shaodong came over and wanted to take the porcelain bottle, but Old Man Wu snatched it away first: "Don't get close to her, or you'll get brain damaged."
He muttered this, and then there was no sound.
He had already opened the porcelain bottle, and the smell of medicine emanated from it. This was...
Old Man Wu looked at her in shock: "What on earth is this medicine used for?"
