The young doctor took a quick glance and saw that it was a young woman dressed simply, so he said unhappily, "No."

Wen Yan pointed at the person who was delivering the herbs next to her: "Can't we collect them over there?"

"We collect precious medicinal materials at home, but you?" The young doctor said disdainfully and impatiently, "What good things can you have?"

Wen Yan continued patiently: "Will you accept the ginseng?"

"Can you find ginseng? Go away, big sister, stop bothering me! I'm busy!"

Wen Yan could only leave with the ginseng on her back, thinking that Zhongjing Hall was nothing special. As soon as she stepped out of the steps of Zhongjing Hall, a middle-aged man chased her out, "Madam, do you have ginseng?"

The middle-aged man was holding a medicine bag. He had regular features and was dressed in fine clothes. He looked like he was from a wealthy family.

Wen Yan nodded, "Do you want to buy it?"

Mo Anfu said hesitantly: "Can you let me see it first?"

Mo Anfu has been the housekeeper of the Yue family for more than ten years. He has been the one who prepared all the medicines for the old grandfather since he fell ill. Especially in recent years, the old grandfather has to drink ginseng soup every day to stay alive. Almost all the top-quality ginseng in Xiahe Town has gone to the Yue family.

Therefore, you can tell the year and quality of the ginseng just by looking at it.

It is only right to inspect the goods before paying. Wen Yan couldn't tell the year, but she felt that the ginseng had become fuller and rounder under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, and there was a faint fragrance.

He took off his backpack and handed him the ginseng still covered with fresh soil.

Mo Anfu's eyes lit up, and after taking it, he carefully examined it, sniffed it, and his face gradually became overjoyed. There were not many people standing where the two of them were, so he spoke directly: "Madam, this ginseng doesn't look very old, estimated to be only 70 or 80 years old, but it is in very good condition, and the medicinal fragrance is also strong... How much do you want? I'll buy it!"

Wen Yan had inquired about the market before coming here. A 100-year-old ginseng could be sold for 50 taels, and hers was less than 100 years old, so it should be cheaper. But Wen Yan knew that this ginseng had the effect of Lingquan. It could not only bring back the dead, but also cure serious illnesses.

Wen Yan: "I want one hundred taels."

I originally thought that I would have to explain myself, but I didn't expect the other party to ask for it so readily.

Mo Anfu laughed cheerfully and said, "I know this is higher than the market price, but I, Old Mo, am willing to establish a relationship with Madam. If you have any more ginseng in the future, please send it directly to the Yue family."

Wen Yan nodded slightly: "Okay."

Mo Anfu smiled even more. Sure enough, this person had more than one ginseng!

"Madam, please come with me to the Yue family. I don't have that much money on me."

When Mo Anfu came, he took a horse-drawn carriage. In order to avoid suspicion when he returned, he let Wen Yan sit in the carriage.

This was Wen Yan's first time riding in a horse-drawn carriage. It looked rather simple, but compared to ordinary people who could only use ox-drawn carts to go out, a horse-drawn carriage was already a relatively luxurious item.

When you arrive at Yue's house, you can see the majestic stone lions at the gate at a glance.

Wen Yan was invited to Mo Anfu's residence, and his wife brought her tea and asked her to rest. Not long after, a hundred taels were delivered, and ten round ingots were placed neatly on the plate.

The Ning Dynasty's gold ingots all had fixed weights. Mo Anfu gave her ten taels per ingot. This amount was more suitable for carrying, and it was obvious that he did it for her sake.

The Yue family is much more benevolent than the Wan family.

Wen Yan did not stay long. She took the silver and said goodbye to Mrs. Mo.

After leaving the Yue family, Wen Yan felt more confident. The heavy weight of one hundred taels gave her more confidence.

Cotton is five hundred coins per catty, ten catties is five taels, buy it!

The chicks I've always wanted to raise, two cents each, buy ten!

On the way back, I bought a candied haws for each child. The candy on the candied haws was golden in color, giving off a charming sweet aroma, and the flavor of hawthorn was revealed when you smelled it carefully. I bought five at once, and gave the extra one to the adults to try as well.

"Donkey for sale! Little donkey! Buy it and take it back to the mill to grind and carry flour!"

Before going home, Wen Yan passed by a vendor and was attracted by his cries. He was holding a small donkey in his hand, which was only as high as his thigh. It looked listless and didn't like to move.

"Big sister, do you want to buy a donkey? This is a mate of the old donkey at home. It's six months old now and will be ready for use in a few months. If it doesn't work out, just kill it and eat the meat. The dragon meat from heaven and the donkey meat from earth are guaranteed to be delicious." The vendor spared no effort to introduce his donkey.

The six-month-old donkey still looks furry, and its big eyes look very cute, especially the bangs on its forehead, which hang down in front of its eyes and look pitiful.

As a lazy person, Wen Yan did think about buying a means of transportation, but the donkey in front of her obviously did not meet her requirements.

The vendor was still trying to sell it: "Only two hundred coins, you won't lose out!"

Wen Yan hesitated. Two hundred coins was not very expensive, but once she bought it, she would have to rely on this donkey for transportation in the short term. Riding a donkey on the street was certainly different from riding a horse on the street.

Suddenly, before Wen Yan could make a decision, the donkey convulsed and fell to the ground.

The vendor was anxious. The donkey actually had some health problems, but he had given it medicine before coming. Why did it still fall to the ground?

Seeing that Wen Yan was still considering it, he quickly said, "Well, one hundred coins, I won't say anything more, just one hundred coins! This price is already worth it!"

The passers-by who were watching were trying to persuade Wen Yan that the donkey was obviously sick and was not worth a hundred coins at all.

But Wen Yan's eyes lit up. This was indeed a bargain. "Okay! I want it!"

"Big sister, you really have good taste!" The vendor laughed so hard that he almost laughed out loud. He took a hundred coins from Wen Yan, handed the reins to her, and ran away immediately.

People around her were looking at Wen Yan, saying that she didn't know how to live, and some even said she was stupid.

Wen Yan was just about to feed the donkey some spiritual spring water. She had some in her water bag just for moments like this. But unexpectedly, as soon as she took out the water bag, the donkey that had fallen to the ground immediately stood up and nudged her leg.

She actually saw a flattering emotion from the donkey.

The people around were amazed, and someone joked, "Is this little donkey doing it on purpose? Is he trying to lower the price for himself?"

"How is it possible? How can a donkey be so smart?"

"correct."

No matter what others think, Wen Yan has already led the donkey away, and even equipped it with a saddle. Since it is too young to carry heavy loads now, it would be nice to let the children ride on it for fun when she goes back.

Wanfu.

"Madam! Madam! Guess who I saw in Zhongjing Hall today?!" Du Juan rushed into Xu Xiaorou's room and gloated, "Madam!"

Xu Xiaorou drank the tonic, her belly bulging, "Is she sick?"

"No, the Madam is selling medicinal herbs. You said that the Madam must be very poor to start doing such business. Isn't this the lowest kind of merchant?"

"Come to think of it, isn't the Wan family also a merchant? What's the difference?" Xu Xiaorou said with a frown, "Don't say these words. If my mother-in-law hears them, she will bear a grudge against me."

Du Juan quickly said yes, but couldn't help but continue: "I was standing far away and didn't hear what they said clearly, but the medicine Zhongjing Hall of the Madam was confiscated. Not only was it confiscated, but she was also kicked out!"

Xu Xiaorou sighed, a helpless smile of sympathy and pity appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I told her a long time ago that giving birth should be left to nature, but now she gave birth to an unknown child, otherwise her mother-in-law wouldn't have chased her away."

"Exactly. Unlike you, my wife, the Second Master will be happy no matter what kind of child you give birth to." Du Juan took away the empty bowl of supplements and sighed, "If only I could buy a piece of good ginseng. The doctor said that your pregnancy is unstable. If you have a piece of ginseng to keep you alive during childbirth, it can protect you... Unfortunately, they were all bought by the hateful Yue family..."

Xu Xiaorou smiled bitterly and could only hope to receive the best ginseng from Zhongjingtang.
