Song Wangyue pretended to be curious and took the wolf-hair pen over, pretending to look at it back and forth, and “didn’t” see anything, so she put it back in the box, “Since it’s not worth anything, big brother shouldn’t send it back.
“No.”
Even a wool-dyed wolf-hair pen is worth a lot of silver, so he couldn’t accept such a valuable thing, “I’d better send it back.”
Seeing that he was very fond of it, Song Wan Yue’s dark eyes turned and stopped his hand from going to cover the box, “Big brother doesn’t know, right, those two pills I gave to Master Sun are worth hundreds of taels.”
Song Si snapped to look at her.
“I’m not going to hide it from big brother, the tonic pills were all given to me by Doctor Yao, I was afraid that my family wouldn’t let me take them, so I didn’t dare to tell the truth, those herbs are of the finest quality, if they were in Ji Shi Tang, a pair would be worth at least a hundred taels.”
Song Si drew a cold breath and looked at Song Wan Yue in shock, unable to speak.
Song Wan Yue curtly held out her hand and pulled him to sit down, “The reason I didn’t say anything was because I was afraid that big brother would be scared, two pills are worth two hundred taels, no more, no less, we don’t count ourselves as being in Master Sun’s good graces.”
Fortunately, today was the fifth day of the month, and there were still a few days before the examination, which was enough for him to calm down, otherwise if he were to enter the examination tomorrow, he would have to take the test in a mess.
“Yue’er, you ……”
Song Wan Yue hurriedly dumped the pot on Yao Dafu, “It was Yao Dafu who asked his grandparents to bring it back when I wasn’t at the workshop, I was afraid he would be sad if I refused his kindness, so I didn’t return it.”
Song Si was a little confused, how much of a favor did Doctor Yao owe Yue’er to give her such good herbs.
No, how could Doctor Yao owe Yue’er a favour? And how did Yue’er know that those were good herbs?
“Yue’er, tell big brother, how do you know these herbs? ”
Song Wan Yue turned around and went to get the medical book over, lifting it up for Song Si to read, “It’s all on here.”
It was a thick book, with herbs drawn on each page, complete with text, and a paper sticker clipped to the end of the book full, so it was obvious that Song Wangyue was going to finish reading it.
Song Si casually flipped through a few pages and then closed it.
“Then how much does Doctor Yao owe you that he needs to pay you back with such good medicinal herbs.”
Song Wangyue carefully held the medical book in her arms with a precious look, “He asked me for advice on how I could save Young Master Gu.”
“Not bad, this we testify, this is the little girl that Doctor Yao asked me to take to in the first place, to ask for advice on the recipe.”
Song Si understood, but still sank down, “Yue’er, you shouldn’t hide such a big thing from your family, have you thought about how you will explain to your family if you don’t tell us and one day the pills sell for silver?”
“I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.”
Song Wan Yue apologised sincerely.
Song Si hadn’t really wanted to blame her, but merely wanted her to learn a lesson and not hide everything from her family in the future.
Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, she said nothing more, and placed her hand on the wolf-hair brush, touching it lovingly, “Since it’s worth about the same, I won’t send it back.”
“Although it’s a wool pen, it’s much better than a normal brush, won’t you go back to the house and try it out?”
If he had known that Song Si liked wolf-hair pens so much, he would have given him five, six, seven or eight of them.
“No, a good pen should be used in a good place, I will use it when I have my exams.”
“Excuse me, is your son Song Si here?”
Song Si’s words were followed by a questioning voice from the doorway.
Xiao Si, who was guarding the door, replied, “Yes, I wonder if you are looking for our gongzi ……?”
“Want to buy a few bottles of peppermint oil from him in.”
Xiao Si happily pushed the door open as soon as he could and said in a loud voice, “My lord, someone has come to buy our peppermint oil again.”
The sound was so loud that it startled the people who had come to buy peppermint oil, as well as the students who were going up and down the stairs, and they all stopped to look over.
This was Song Wan Yue’s house and it was not convenient for strange men to come in, so Song Si quickly got up and went to the door and saw the man who had just bought peppermint oil standing at the door, and behind him were two other men dressed in silk, who also looked like candidates.
The man who bought the peppermint oil just now arched his hand, “Mr. Song, excuse me, these are my two friends, they tried the peppermint oil and found it very good and wanted to buy a few bottles.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll get them for you.”
Before Song Siwei could turn around, Song Wangyue had already brought over a few bottles, “I wonder how many bottles a few of you would like?”
“How can I sell them?”
“One hundred and fifty wen.”
Song Wangyue replied crisply.
The man in the indigo dress frowned slightly after hearing this, “Why did he buy a hundred wen just now and sell us a hundred and fifty wen.”
The man who had just bought the peppermint oil was busy trying to explain – he had just told the two people that they were selling it for one hundred and fifty wen, and it was because he was the first to buy it that he had given a cost price.
“Because the first person to eat a crab has to be rewarded anyhow.”
“Eating crabs?”
The man who asked was puzzled, “What does this have to do with eating crabs? And what is a crab?”
Song Wangyue subconsciously said what she had said in her present life, and only after she had finished did she feel that something was wrong.
The man who asked the question wasn’t that he was short of a few tens of wens, he just felt unbalanced in his heart, but it was only a matter of time before they bought more, so when he heard that Song Wangyue had reduced the price by thirty wens, he felt better in his heart, “We both came with three bottles, that’s six bottles in total.”
“Two gentlemen ……”
Song Wan Yue smiled and said, “Although this peppermint oil has a refreshing effect on the brain, it should not be used in large quantities, I think two bottles are enough for you.”
When she saw that she wasn’t greedy, unlike the usual sellers who would not want people to buy everything when they caught a customer, she felt a bit better about her, “Isn’t it also effective against mosquitoes and insects? I’m most afraid of mosquito bites, so buy an extra bottle, just in case.”
Song Wangyue handed over the peppermint oil, “Then take it, the total is seven hundred and twenty wen.”
The man and the other man went over separately, gave the money painfully, and took it away.
“Is it really that good?”
Someone next to me asked in confusion.
Those people who had just shouted at Xiao Si’s voice, seeing the scene, were also a bit moved, and were afraid that it would be useless to spend so much money on it.
“Xiao Si, go and carry out the back basket.”
Xiao Si answered and lifted his foot and just entered the house, he saw Gu Yi coming out carrying a back basket, he hurried over, “Young master, give me ……”
Before he could finish his words, he was given a fierce glare by Gu Yi, and was so scared that he didn’t dare to move.
Gu Yi took credit for carrying the back basket to Song Wan Yue.
Song Wangyue lifted the cover off the basket and raised her voice to shout, “Don’t miss it, don’t miss it, peppermint oil, it can refresh your mind and protect you from mosquitoes, come and try it out if you want to buy it.”
Gu Yi,……
Song Si, ……
