Chapter 1224 Ticket Evasion



Sister Zhang instantly forgot her sadness and grinned, "Such a good thing? Okay, then show me what's wrong with me!"

Jiang Jiuniang took her pulse and did a simple examination. She asked, "Sister-in-law, do you always feel tired even though you haven't done anything? Do you sweat easily, feel dizzy, have blurred vision, sometimes suffer from insomnia and have many dreams, and feel exhausted when you wake up in the morning?"

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment: "My God, you're amazing! You've hit the nail on the head! That's right, that's right. I used to go with my husband to set up the stall, but lately I've been feeling really tired, so I haven't been going..."

Sister-in-law Zhang described some of her symptoms, and Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "Sister-in-law, you have both qi and blood deficiency, and your obesity is also caused by physical weakness. I will prescribe some medicine for you. Go and get the medicine and take it. If you persist for a year or two, you will see a good improvement."

Now that Zhang's family is not as poor as before, they have started a business and have some extra money, so they shouldn't be reluctant to spend money on medicine.

"What? Being fat is a disease?"

Aunt Zhang couldn't believe it. She had been chubby since childhood and always thought she looked lucky and blessed. She never expected that she was sick.

"Yes, you're just bloated, which is why you had those symptoms. Don't worry, they can all be improved."

Then she was given a recipe for a foot bath pack and told to soak her feet in hot water every night until she sweated.

Aunt Zhang took the medicine with both hands and nodded repeatedly: "It's so good to know a doctor, otherwise who would know that I'm sick out of the blue!"

This family is really quite straightforward. Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Zhang Saozi is still so adorable.

"Oh, by the way, Jiu Niang, how much does this prescription cost? I'll get it for you when I get back!"

As she spoke, she got up to leave.

Jiang Jiuniang waved the meat bun in her hand and smiled, "Didn't I already give it to you?"

"Ugh! How can that be counted!"

Sister-in-law Zhang was still about to leave, but Jiang Jiuniang reached out and grabbed her, deliberately acting coquettishly, "My dear sister-in-law, please don't be so serious with me, or I'll have to pay you for these meat buns! Sit down and let's talk!"

Hearing her say that, Sister Zhang agreed, but still invited Jiang Jiuniang to her house for lunch later, since it was just the two of them at home, so there was no need to start a fire separately.

Jiang Jiuniang readily agreed. After finishing breakfast, she went to Zhang's house for a while, and then went out with Zhang to cut pig feed, getting to know the villagers as well. Her day was simple yet fulfilling.

Lu Baichuan and Gou'er went to Xilailou early in the morning to stake out the place. They thought they were early enough, but they didn't expect that Xilailou was packed with people inside and out. It was difficult to even get in, let alone find a good spot.

The most outrageous thing is that today, whether you eat or not, you have to pay a 10-tael silver entrance fee to enter Xilai Restaurant.

Although everyone thought it was outrageous, they still reluctantly paid the money in order to get information about the treasure.

Gou'er didn't want to give the money and said to Lu Baichuan, "Daddy, let's think of another way to get in. I don't want these bad people to make money off me."

Lu Baichuan was considering how to tell his son about his plan to sneak into the ticket market when Gou'er took the initiative to speak up. His eyes lit up instantly. No wonder he was his son!

He picked up the dog in one arm and leaped a few times to the backyard of Xilailou, preparing to climb over the wall and enter.

As a result, they saw that a lot of people had gathered outside the backyard, and many of them wanted to climb up, but they were all knocked down by the people on the other side of the wall.

It was clear that the owner of Xilailou had already guessed that some people couldn't afford the tickets, so he sent people to guard the place well in advance.

Lu Baichuan took out two masks and put them on himself and his son. Then he strode forward with a proud and arrogant air and sneered, "What? A few servants have stumped you all? Then I'll go and find out about this treasure myself."

After saying that, he leaped up the high wall. Seeing the servant watching him cautiously below, he refused to come down. Instead, he walked along the wall, speeding up to shake off the servant. Then he jumped down and quickly went to the front hall.

The front hall was so crowded that it was impossible to tell who was who, and the father and son disappeared in no time. The servants were getting anxious.

By the time they realized what was happening, many of the people who had climbed over the wall had already taken the opportunity to get in. The servant tried to stop them, but he couldn't anymore. A group of people rushed in, and the servant was pushed to the side. Even though he shouted himself hoarse, no one heard him.

The front hall was already warming up. In the middle was a platform for the prince, who usually danced for the dancers, but today it had become the platform for revealing information about the treasure. Standing on it was a man dressed as a steward, with a goatee and a perfectly appropriate smile on his face.

"Welcome everyone to our Xilai Restaurant. I believe you all know why we've gathered here today. So let's be frank. Today, the Taoist priest will give you three pieces of information about a treasure. However, this information is not for just anyone. Each piece of information will be auctioned off, and the highest bidder wins!"

The moment the words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in uproar. They had thought that paying ten taels of silver would get them the news, but they hadn't expected to have to bid on it. Everyone was furious.

Lu Baichuan saw through the scam at a glance and shouted from the crowd, "Why didn't you say this before? Isn't this a scam? I think this news is a scam too!"

He also deliberately used his internal energy to make his voice spread throughout the hall, successfully hiding himself and making him difficult to find.

Once someone took the lead, the others immediately felt that there must be something fishy going on, and they all started shouting.

The man with the goatee was very unhappy, but not knowing who had started it, he could only say to the crowd with a cold face, "Those who think it's a scam can leave. I suppose only the wealthy gentlemen who have the money to bid will know the true whereabouts of the treasure..."

This is an open declaration that everyone who's shouting is poor.

Lu Baichuan shouted again in a different voice, "Fine, then leave, but give us back the ten taels of silver we paid for coming in!"

With so many people, we can persuade as many as we can to quit.

The crowd joined in shouting, "Refund! Refund!"

The man with the goatee snorted coldly, indicating that the money was non-refundable.

Just as everyone was arguing, a clear voice rang out: "Since you've all come all this way, why not take a chance on the news of the treasure? Isn't that what you've all come all this way for?"
