Chapter 26 Jiangnan Jin Family
Just when she was feeling proud, she saw Ruan Chuxia take out a box of small white porcelain bottles from her pocket.
Aunt Guo looked at what Ruan Chuxia was holding with curiosity and asked casually, "Xiao Ruan, what is that in your hand?"
Before Ruan Chuxia had a chance to answer this question.
A man named Wang Pengfei who was sitting next to him suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god! Isn't this the Jin family's unique Skin-Condensing Snow Pill? Xiao Ruan, this thing has been lost for many years. How did you get it?"
After hearing this, Aunt Guo was not only surprised.
Even the other people in the room were stunned and looked at the small porcelain bottle in Ruan Chuxia's hand.
Guo Huaqin looked at Ruan Chuxia with confusion, obviously very puzzled by what had just happened.
"Xiao Ruan, what exactly is that Ningfu Xixue Pill that Uncle Wang mentioned just now?"
"Yes, that's right. The name Jin is indeed the name of our family."
Ruan Chuxia answered slowly, then gently placed the small porcelain bottle with the Jin family's mark on the palm of her hand on the table in front of her and smiled meaningfully.
"Since Uncle Wang knows so much, why not ask him to explain it to us?"
"After all, if I were to explain, I'm afraid you, Aunt Guo, would think I was deliberately lying."
After saying that, Ruan Chuxia stood there lazily with her arms folded.
Aunt Guo, who had been laughing at him before, suddenly blushed.
"What do you mean? I just asked casually, how could I accuse you of lying?"
Aunt Guo's voice became a little weaker and her eyes became evasive.
Seeing Aunt Guo's reaction at the moment, Ruan Chuxia didn't continue speaking.
Instead, he turned to look at Wang Pengfei, who was still in shock.
"So now, may I ask how much Uncle Wang knows about the Jin family in the Jiangnan region?"
Wang Pengfei gently adjusted his glasses and said, "Huaqin, your family has always lived in the north, so you may not be very familiar with some things in the south."
"Over 20 years ago, there was a very famous Chinese medicine clinic in our Jiangnan area. This was not only because of their superb medical skills, but also because the clinic was staffed by veteran Chinese medicine practitioners who had passed down the knowledge from generation to generation. These doctors cured many difficult and complicated diseases and trained many famous doctors. The name of the clinic was 'Jin Yu Yuan', and it was known to almost everyone in the local area."
When Wang Pengfei said this, he sighed deeply.
"Speaking of which, the Jin family not only has excellent medical skills, but also charges a low fee, which is a blessing for those poor patients. No matter what kind of illness the local people encounter, they like to go to 'Jin Yuyuan'."
"But unfortunately, the sudden change about 20 years ago dealt a heavy blow to the Jin family, especially to Mr. Jin, the head of the family at the time. Unable to withstand the blow, he eventually became bedridden due to illness and passed away."
"Afterwards, the descendants of the Jin family were forced to disperse across the country. From then on, the reputation of 'Jin Yu Yuan' in the Jiangnan region also disappeared."
"I remember that the Jin family developed their own medicines, which were very effective. Many of them were proprietary recipes and showed unique effects in treating certain specific diseases. Because of this, these medicines were deeply loved by the local people. However, with the disappearance of the 'Jin Yu Yuan', these medicines gradually disappeared."
Suddenly, Wang Pengfei's eyes lit up and he stared at a porcelain bottle in Ruan Chuxia's hand.
"For example, the bottle of Ningfu Xixue Pills you hold in your hand was once a favorite beauty product used by many women. It's said that using it would make your skin smooth and delicate."
Hearing this, Guo Huaqin and Xiao Zhenwu looked at each other!
They had never expected that this girl had such an unusual background!
Is Mr. Jin’s family really so powerful in Jiangnan?
Aunt Guo didn't believe it. She stared at the bottle in Ruan Chuxia's hand with wide eyes and said sarcastically, "Stop bragging. How could a country doctor like you have something from the Jin family? I'm afraid he heard about the Jin family from somewhere and made a fake one himself!"
"Aunt Guo will know if it's fake after trying it."
Ruan Chuxia smiled lightly, raised her eyebrows and opened the bottle cap.
A light and fresh fragrance wafted out.
The whole room was filled with a faint floral scent.
Wang Pengfei took a closer sniff and said excitedly, "Yes, this is the smell of authentic Jin's Ningfu Xixue Pills! I've used them a few times before, and they're really good!"
"Chengying, if you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Wang Pengfei suggested enthusiastically.
Guo Chengying looked at him with suspicion, but he was also slightly moved.
After all, she had been married into the Wang family for so many years, and although they had moved to the capital for work, she often listened to Wang Pengfei talk about the glorious history of the Jin family in her hometown.
Including the wealthy ladies around me, many have used this kind of pills, and their skin has become delicate and smooth. They don’t look like people in their thirties or forties at all.
Guo Chengying has always been envious and jealous of them.
But I still can't find a way to buy this good thing.
Now, this treasure is right in front of her. Even though she hates Ruan Chuxia, she can't help but swallow her saliva and start looking forward to it...
"Then...then let me try?"
A hint of greed flashed in Guo Chengying's eyes, and he quickly reached out to grab the medicine bottle.
Then she used her thick fingers to dig out a large piece and smeared it on her hands and face.
Ruan Chuxia watched the scene with a smile on her face.
She lazily put her arms on the table, supported her chin, and squinted her eyes slightly.
"Oh my, this medicine really works!"
Guo Chengying was amazed.
Once his mood improved, he had forgotten all the sarcasm and ridicule he had directed at Ruan Chuxia.
She became even more unscrupulous. She cleared her throat with a dry cough, then said loudly, "Xiao Ruan, since you have such a good thing, there's no need to hide it. Give me a few more bottles! I promise I won't let you suffer any loss."
She continued, "I'm an elder from the city, so it's not too much to ask you for some medicine! You see, I'm not the greedy type. How about giving me a few more bottles as a greeting?"
Faced with Guo Chengying's behavior, Ruan Chuxia seemed to have expected it.
She smiled and replied, "Of course, Aunt Guo. I'll sell it to you at the market price Uncle Wang mentioned, eight hundred per bottle. What do you think? Is that a fair price?"
"How much? Eight hundred?!"
Guo Chengying's eyes widened, and she screamed in disbelief, "Ruan Chuxia! Why don't you just go and rob the money? Eight hundred a bottle, are you crazy? That's outrageous! How can you offer such a price?"
