Chapter 532 Ask you a question
Xiao Qin looked at Situ Bai's leaving back and sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing?" Fu Zhaoning was both angry and amused.
"No, nothing. I just think Master Situ is a nice guy, and he's also very handsome."
Xiao Qin really thought Situ Bai was too handsome. Didn't she see that even the aunt selling bean cakes just now kept looking at him? She looked a little reluctant to leave until he disappeared.
Young Master Situ must be shining when walking in the crowd.
The same is true for her young lady, so if these two people could walk side by side, it would be such a beautiful sight.
Fu Zhaoning heard a hint of melancholy and loss in her tone and couldn't help laughing.
"Stop imagining it, let's go."
She first walked towards the direction where she smelled the medicinal herbs last night.
If what Situ Bai said was true, then it was very likely that the family where she smelled the scent of medicinal herbs last night was the medicinal herb merchant that Situ Bai was looking for.
If their medicinal herbs had already been traded, there was a good chance that her trip would have been in vain.
However, Fu Zhaoning still did not change his mind. What if the other party still has medicine next time?
She soon arrived outside a house that looked well-off, and the smell of medicinal herbs wafted out from inside.
At this time, the door was open and an uncle was sweeping the fallen leaves at the door.
Fu Zhaoning stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I want to ask, do you have any medicinal herbs at home?"
The uncle looked up at her in surprise.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"I smell a little bit of medicinal herbs. My master often goes up the mountain to collect herbs, so he knows something about it." Fu Zhaoning explained.
The uncle suddenly understood what he heard.
"Are you looking for medicine for your master? No wonder." He thought such a young and beautiful girl wanted to buy medicinal herbs.
"Yes, can I go in and take a look at the herbs?"
"cannot."
A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old came out of the door. She had two buns on her head and tied them with a pink silk ribbon. She was very pretty.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at Fu Zhaoning now was full of hostility.
And it was she who said "can't" just now.
The uncle looked back at her and lightly scolded her, "Azhi, what are you doing? Don't be so rude."
"Dad, what did I say that was rude? She's a stranger, and she suddenly came to my house early in the morning and said she wanted to come in and look at the herbs. Do you know who she is? Does she have any bad intentions?"
The girl named Azhi snorted, stepped out of the threshold and stood at the gate, as if blocking the door.
"Girl, our young lady is not a bad person." Xiao Qin couldn't help but want to explain to Fu Zhaoning.
Why is this girl so inexplicably hostile?
If it's inconvenient to go in, just say so. Why are you glaring at them and saying they have bad hearts?
"It's not like a bad person has it written on his face. I just saw that she had a shifty look in her eyes."
"Azhi, don't talk nonsense."
The uncle scolded her again, but it was obvious that he was very spoiled with his daughter, so the scolding was not harsh at all and his tone sounded soft.
Fu Zhaoning smiled.
"I didn't realize I looked so shifty. It seems I have offended this girl in some way. Uncle, that's it, goodbye."
She didn't have to rush over to see other people's medicinal herbs.
But generally she would not bargain when buying medicinal materials, and sometimes if she saw that people had some things that other pharmacies did not buy, she would buy them.
She has instruments to extract medicinal materials that today's doctors cannot prepare, so it is normal for her to collect some uncommon ones.
If the other party really wants to sell medicinal herbs, you will definitely not suffer a loss by selling them to her.
But now it seems that the other party is unwilling, so forget it.
"Wait a minute!"
When the girl saw her turning around and leaving, she hurriedly called her back.
Fu Zhaoning ignored him and walked straight forward.
People have already said that she has shifty eyes, why should she really stop when she is told to wait a moment?
"I told you to wait a moment, did you hear me?"
The girl rushed to her and stopped her with her arms outstretched.
Fu Zhaoning looked at her, "Anything else?"
"I have a kind of medicinal herb at home, it's very precious, do you want to see it?"
Xiao Qin couldn't help but say, "Just now you said you wouldn't let us in, and now you're going back on your word?"
"I don't want to watch it anymore." said Fu Zhaoning.
"Don't be angry, girl. Actually, all the medicinal herbs in our house were sold out last night. What she said just now was rude, but we really have no more medicinal herbs. That's why I didn't let you in." The uncle came over quickly to help.
"Sold last night?"
"Yes, it was sold to Tongfu Pharmacy." said the uncle.
Xiao Qin looked at Fu Zhaoning. So Master Situ didn't lie? He was telling the truth, so was it really fate that he and the young lady met this morning?
"Since it's sold, I won't go in." said Fu Zhaoning.
"Dad! Call her!"
The uncle looked helpless and said to Fu Zhaoning, "Girl, we still have some herbs left to sell. Since you are here, why don't you go in and take a look?"
“Why should I take things that others don’t want?”
Fu Zhaoning was unmoved. "And judging from the girl's attitude, she is likely to trick me into buying it, and even charge me a high price."
The girl knew what she was thinking, and her face looked a little embarrassed.
"How about this," she immediately said, "You go in and take a look. If it's what you want, you just need to answer three questions and you can take all the herbs away without paying a penny!"
Anyway, those herbs were the ones left over by Master Situ, so they definitely have no effect.
Her father has not succeeded in making it for so many years, so this time he will probably just have to throw it away.
The uncle moved his mouth and was about to say something, but his daughter glared at him and he swallowed his words back.
Never mind. It’s just a little girl asking a few questions. It’s nothing.
"Girl, you don't have anything to lose, why don't you go in and take a look?" he said to Fu Zhaoning.
"Three questions are too many. I'm not going."
Fu Zhaoning prepared to go around again.
The girl was anxious and shouted, "That's just one! I'll just ask one question! But you have to answer me honestly and don't lie!"
"Who knows if you guys keep your word?"
"Girl, go ask around and find out when I, Li Laoshi, have ever broken my word. Otherwise, I'll move the herbs out for you, and you don't have to go in. If you like them, you can just move them out right here."
That's possible.
Fu Zhaoning didn't even want to go into their house. Anyway, all the herbs had been taken by Situ Bai, so what was there to see?
"Okay, I'll reluctantly agree."
However, this family's surname is Li, and the girl's name also has the character "Zhi" in it, so Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but think of Li Zhiyao.
Does she have a grudge against the girl with these two words?
