Chapter 32
Yaozhilin was one of the dowry shops given to Rong Shuyun by Prince Wu's Mansion back then, and it was also the one with the most serious losses among the bills that Lin Long handed over to Xu Zhaoning.

By the time Xu Zhaoning arrived, the sky was already bright, and people were in a hurry on the street, but there were few people in front of the Yaozhi Forest.Xu Zhaoning and Mingyue walked in, and the waiter on the counter was lying on his stomach to catch up on sleep, and he didn't look up when he heard someone coming in.

Mingyue wanted to go forward to remind her, but Xu Zhaoning shook his head at her and checked the scattered herbs on the counter by himself.But the more he looked, the darker Xu Zhaoning's face became.

The honeysuckle is damp and sticky, the Tianqi slices are stained with mildew, and the mint leaves are dull in color...

How could this be the scene where a medicinal herb shop should appear!

Xu Zhaoning was about to wake up the little girl, but when he heard hurried footsteps coming in, Xu Zhaoning simply retreated to the corner.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper..." The voice of the visitor was loud and powerful, which woke up Xiao Er who was lying on the counter.

Being woken up, Xiao Er reprimanded with a dark face: "What is it called early in the morning, no one is resting."

The person who came was reprimanded, and his complexion was a little bad, but he seemed to think of something, and he quickly suppressed it, and then squeezed out a flattering smile, "It's not good to disturb the rest of the little brother, but I have something urgent to see you The shopkeeper."

"Our shopkeeper is not free, just tell me if you have anything to do." Xiao Er squinted at the visitor, then quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep, with an indescribable contempt in his tone.

The man gritted his teeth and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom. After hesitating over and over again, he decided to tell Xiao Er directly, "That's right, Brother Xiao Er, I have a century-old ginseng here. receive?"

The words "[-]-year-old ginseng" caused Xiao Er to quickly open his eyes. He snatched the cloth bag very quickly, and opened the cloth bag roughly, but the cloth bag seemed to have several layers. Without the severity, the urgent visitor feels distressed.

"Second brother, take it easy, this is our family's ancestral treasure."

"Yo, I can't bear it. If you can't bear it, don't sell it." Xiaoer threw the cloth bag on the counter a little angrily, looked up and down the man outside the counter, and then snorted lightly, "It's just you Xiang, even your family's ancestral treasure may not be a good product, since you can't bear it, take it back."

"Don't, don't, brother, look, you can look at whatever you want." Seeing that Xiaoer pushed the cloth bag back casually, the man's distress became more obvious, but he still gritted his teeth and pushed the cloth bag in front of Xiaoer.

Pushing back and forth, the corners of the cloth bag were scattered. Looking from Xu Zhaoning's direction, she saw that the ginseng in the cloth bag was extremely pure in color and had intact roots. She felt that the ginseng must have been picked up by the man's family. Everyone loves and cherishes it.

I just don't know why, but he wants to sell it.

The cloth bag was finally opened by Xiaoer, but he didn’t have the eyes to discover beauty like Xu Zhaoning, he just glanced at it casually, and then lazily quoted a price, “20 taels, sell it if you want it, Take it if you don’t sell it.”

"Second brother, take a look again. This is really a hundred-year-old ginseng passed down from my family. My father said it can be worth several hundred taels. How can it be worth only 20 taels of silver?"

The man was shocked by the low price of 20 taels, and tried to defend himself.But Xiao Er was very impatient, he stretched out his hand and pushed the man. The man looked tall, but because he was unguarded, Xiao Er pushed him back several steps.

"Little brother, please take a look again. My father is so sick that he can't get out of bed, so he relies on this ginseng to sell money to get medicine to cure his illness." The dignified seven-foot man didn't care about face in order to save his father.

It’s just that his pleading didn’t impress Xiao Er, “Oh, what a fool dares to call himself a century-old ginseng, and even dare to say that it’s worth a few hundred taels. He really thinks our Yaozhilin is a charity hall! Let me tell you, our Yaozhilin is not a ginseng. In the future, if you dare to make trouble in the Yaozhilin Hall about the property of the Crown Princess’s natal family, it will be difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince, you’d better weigh it.”

Xu Zhaoning didn't like Xiaoer's aggressiveness at first, but when he heard the name of the future princess, he found it interesting, so he took two steps forward and asked Xiaoer with a half-smile: "I don't know what is the name of the future princess in your family?" who?"

"Hmph, who else is there, of course it is Xu Yanran, the second lady of our Zhongyonghou Mansion, she is the crown princess chosen by the prince himself." Xiaoer was complacent, the man seemed to be frightened by Xu Yanran's name, I snatched it back together with the cloth bag and ginseng, "Then I won't sell it."

"Here we come, Yaozhilin doesn't leave the ginseng behind, and wants to leave safely. We really think we are all vegetarians!" Xiao Er suddenly changed his face, yelled at the inner hall, and several thugs came out at once look like people.

"Miss, it seems that they usually do this kind of bullying a lot." Mingyue, who had been silent all this time, leaned close to Xu Zhaoning's ear and whispered.

"I see," Xu Zhaoning sneered, then turned his head to Mingyue and said, "Tie them up and throw them out. It would be a disaster for such people to stay in Yaozhilin."

Mingyue's moves were extremely fast, and those thugs were tied up in a pile as soon as they showed up.

Seeing this, Xiaoer's expression changed drastically, and he yelled at Xu Zhaoning: "Who are you, that you are going against our Zhongyonghou Mansion?"

"Just because you are worthy of calling yourself the man of the Zhongyonghou Mansion?" Xu Zhaoning smiled at him, "If you are not good at learning, you should study hard and ask questions. This medicine Zhilin was the dowry given to Princess Shuyun by the Wuwang Mansion. His boss was Princess Shuyun, now is Xu Zhaoning, the eldest lady of the Xu family. You are bluffing and cheating under my nose, which method of death do you think I should let you end your life better?"

"You, you, you are the eldest lady... Please forgive me, the young lady, the younger one was just joking with this young master, really, just joking."

Xu Zhaoning rolled his eyes, turned around and walked in front of the man.

"I'm Xu Zhaoning, and I'm also the new owner of Yaozhilin. My subordinates are not good at handling things and have caused trouble to the young master. Zhaoning is here to apologize to the young master on his behalf. The ginseng in the young master's hand has been for hundreds of years. If you want , I can buy it for a thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

Today's Xu Zhaoning didn't comb her hair in a bun that is popular among girls in Beijing for convenience, but simply tied it into a ponytail.Although the whole person looks a bit indistinguishable from male and female, but inexplicably makes people feel refreshing and crisp.

The man originally thought that he would not be able to get out of the medicine Zhilin today, but he didn't expect that there would be a new turning point.Seeing the sincerity in Xu Zhaoning's eyes, he smiled gratefully.

"Miss, you are welcome. This is not your fault. Naturally, you don't need an apology."

At the same time, he offered the cloth bag in his hand again, "My father said that although this ginseng is a hundred years old, there are some flaws in the drying process, so compared with the ginseng on the market, it is somewhat flawed, and it costs a thousand taels of silver. The price is too high, if the lady really wants it, then give 500 taels."

Just at this moment, Mingyue walked in after packing up. Hearing the man's words, she looked at him strangely, "Didn't you just say that your family's ginseng is very valuable?"
