The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 88 100 taels of silver

After Meng Xiaoshao changed her clothes, she saw a wooden plate on the table, so she took out the white jade bottle given by Mu Lao, uncorked the bottle, and wanted to see how many pills were inside the small medicine bottle.

Unexpectedly, with just a light pour, the bean-sized pills, like a raging tide, filled the entire wooden plate in the blink of an eye, and then "gululu" rolled down on the table.Meng Xiaosuo quickly corked the bottle, and accidentally knocked over the plate in a hurry, spilling it all over the floor.

"What's wrong?" Yun Feitian outside heard the movement.

"Your ears are really good." Meng Xiaoshu opened the door, pointed to the pills on the ground, and looked a little helpless.

The two bent over to pick it up, and it took a long time to finish picking it up. They roughly counted, if not a thousand, there were hundreds.

"I remember that you didn't seem to bring a package with you when you came. Where did you get so many medicines?" Yun Feitian asked.

Meng Xiaocom was startled, thinking how could he forget this?
Just at this time, someone came outside and shouted: "Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Tian!"

Uncle Tian?Meng Xiaosuo didn't realize it for a while, but after thinking about it, she remembered that "Tian" was Yun Feitian's false surname.

"Yes." Yun Feitian replied, and said to Meng Xiaosuo, "I'll come as soon as I go."

"No need, I'll go with you." Meng Xiaoshu tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of her clothes, and wrapped all the pills, "It's just for her to distribute the medicine to the villagers."

Yun Feitian nodded, and the two walked out of the room.

"Hey, Aunt Tian, ​​when did you come?" Wu Miaoxin stood outside, looking up and down Meng Xiaosuo.After praying for the rain, her clothes were all wet, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to her body, so she called Yun Feitian as soon as she came back, asking Yun Feitian to prepare hot water and a change of clothes for her.

"Just came." Meng Xiaocom said.

"Uncle Tian," Wu Miaoxin turned to look at Yun Feitian, showing dissatisfaction, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Along the way, those villagers who look like plague chickens are all surrounding me, it's really annoying!"

"Plague chickens?" Meng Xiaocom raised his eyebrows, "In that case, you should get rid of the plague on them, lest they come to disturb you again."

"I..." Wu Miao choked, and snorted, "Didn't Uncle Tian say that you have medicine to cure this plague?"

"So, you want my help?" Meng Xiaocom asked.

Wu Miaoxin couldn't bear to admit this face: "You...you are my master, so naturally you want to help me."

"Well, today you declare that I am your master in front of everyone. Tomorrow, when the plague is cured, I will go to Beijing with you." Meng Xiaosuo said seriously.

"This..." Wu Miaoxin hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, first write me the prescription for curing the plague and let me have a look. In case you don't have any real skills, I beg you As a teacher, don't you suffer a loss?"

"Then you can turn your back on others and throw me aside, right?" Meng Xiaosu smiled lightly, "Little girl, I am old, I have crossed more bridges than you have traveled, and I have smoked too much." Not less than what you eat, and some tricks are of no use to me."

Seeing her calm and composed appearance, Wu Miaoxin, whose plot was punctured, was both annoyed and unconvinced: "In this case, then I really don't want to worship you as a master! Didn't you always want to go to Beijing? I don't Promise you, what can you do?"

Right now, it seems that the initiative is in Wu Miaoxin's hands.But who is Meng Xiaoshu, naturally he will not let his wishful thinking come to nothing.

"Don't forget, I said at the beginning that the emperor recruited good doctors from the people, and you must not be the only one who was called into the palace. You refused to worship me, and there were many people vying to worship me. It's just that They are all grey-haired, ugly old men. I don't like them. I heard that there is a young girl who also received the imperial decree, so she ran to this remote village and accepted you as a disciple. If you are like this If you don’t want to, then I won’t make things difficult for you.” Meng Xiaoshu said calmly.

As soon as Wu Miaoxin heard it, her complexion changed, and her heart became anxious, but she still refused to admit defeat: "Who knows if what you said is true or not, what if you lied to me? Besides, I will ask you to take out the prescription , is it that wrong? You can’t take it out, can you?”

Meng Xiaosuo didn't bother to argue with her, so she had an idea and walked out the door.

Yun Feitian followed behind her, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

Wu Miaoxin followed far behind, regretting a little, fearing that once this person got angry, he would really ignore her.But more, it was anger - an old medical woman who was not well-known, dare to play tricks in front of her?

The rain had stopped, but the high platform used to pray for rain was still there, and some people surrounded the platform, knelt on the ground to thank God, and were reluctant to leave for a long time.

Meng Xiaosuo walked to the front of the stage and said loudly, "Fathers and folks, the elixir to cure the plague has been prepared, please line up and go to the yamen to get it."

Hearing this, everyone exclaimed.

"what?"

"This is real?"

"Our family of five is finally saved..."

"What if it's a fake drug again?"

"All my belongings have been cheated by those bastards' fake men...how can I live..."

"It shouldn't be fake, otherwise how dare you go to the Yamen, isn't that courting death? I just don't know how much the elixir will cost this time?"

Listening to the noisy discussions, Meng Xiaosuo waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "This pill costs 100 taels of silver a piece, and it is guaranteed that the medicine will cure the disease."

"100 taels of silver? That's too much!" Immediately, a villager in coarse clothes complained loudly.

"Didn't those charlatans in the past only charge a few dozen taels?" Some people muttered to themselves.

"That's fake medicine, and fake medicine is naturally cheaper." The person who said this, dressed in silk and satin, seemed to be a businessman.

"You mean, it's real this time?"

"How do I know, guess..."

Not far away, Wu Miaoxin was surprised when he heard it - this man is so brave, he dared to go to the Yamen to sell medicine, and what medicine would he guarantee to cure his illness?Aren't you afraid that the pill will fail and be drowned by the spittle of these rough villagers?He also set a sky-high price of 100 taels of silver, which is really a big mouth for a lion!Could it be...she is really sure?

Meng Xiaoshu led the crowd towards the yamen.

The reason why she didn't distribute the pills under the high platform was because she was afraid that everyone would fight over each other and cause chaos.At that time, I am afraid that before the medicine is distributed, the person will have been trampled into a pulp.But the yamen is different, guarded by officers and soldiers.It might not work, but it's better than nothing.

As for selling 100 taels, there is naturally a reason.

At the gate of the yamen, a small official was guarding. Seeing so many people rushing in suddenly, he thought that the victims were going to gather a crowd to make trouble, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Don't panic, I have a cure for the plague, let me talk to your prefect." Meng Xiaosuo said to him.
