Chapter 145 Bai Ruozhu’s Nemesis

When they arrived at Fushou Hall, the boy said that Ms. Liu had returned to Beiyu City for something. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but think that Du Zhongshu had also returned to Beiyu City. She vaguely remembered that when she gave birth, she seemed to have heard that Du Zhongshu and Liu Baishuang had known each other for a long time. It seemed that they were still friends. relative?

Bai Ruozhu felt strange, why didn't the Eucommia book mention it?

"Ms. Liu is not here, so I'll come see her next time, but I also want to buy something from the store." Bai Ruozhu put away her doubts and said.

"I'll call the shopkeeper for you when you're shopping." The boy ran away enthusiastically.

Soon the shopkeeper came out and asked Bai Ruozhu what he needed to buy. Fu Shoutang also bought some patent medicines, such as tranquilizing pills and hangover soup. Because the signboard was loud, the price was a little more expensive than ordinary medical clinics.

"I won't use the medicine for the time being. I want to buy a set of silver needles from the shopkeeper." Bai Ruozhu said.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised. There were very few people in this small town who could buy silver needles, because only doctors needed silver needles, and most country doctors couldn't use them.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Bai Ruozhu twice, but seeing that although she was holding a child, she was still young, so he guessed that she wanted to buy it as a gift for her elders.

"Madam, you came at the right time. A set of silver needles has just arrived in the store recently. Because there are not many people buying them in the town, this set is basically used for town hall. The workmanship is definitely first-class." The shopkeeper said and added He raised his thumb, then turned around and went to the top of the table to take out the set of silver needles.

Bai Ruozhu's heart warmed up when he saw the silver needle, just like the feeling of a football player when he sees the football again after not touching it for a long time. She felt itchy and wanted to touch it immediately, but when she saw the wooden box containing the silver needle, her heart froze.

The wooden box seemed to be made of wenge wood, and the carvings were lifelike. It was the kind of thing someone used in a store to show off their business. Just looking at the box, it was already very tall, but this also showed that the thing must be valuable.

Bai Ruozhu opened the box carefully and fell in love with this set of silver needles at first glance. A set of well-made silver needles had just the right weight and very clean and smooth lines. She could tell at just one glance that this set was no worse than the one she used in her previous life.

A good set of silver needles at hand can make the doctor more comfortable when performing acupuncture, but on the contrary, it may even affect the effect of acupuncture. So even though Bai Ruozhu felt a little distressed, she was still determined to buy it.

The shopkeeper saw Bai Ruozhu's satisfaction and said with a smile: "Madam, you can see that she is a knowledgeable person. I like to negotiate business with knowledgeable people. Otherwise, no matter how good the product is, it will be like a pearl covered in dust."

"The shopkeeper has to give me a good discount, otherwise I won't be able to afford it no matter how much I like it." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

The shopkeeper originally didn't expect this set of needles to be sold in Anyuan Town, but now that someone wants it, he is naturally happy, and after thinking about it, he doesn't ask for a high price, "Thirty taels of silver, this price is absolutely fair."

Bai Ruozhu took a breath of air. Thirty taels was not cheap, but to be fair, the price was not outrageous.

"I don't have that much money with me, how about twenty taels?" Bai Ruozhu really only had a few twenty taels with her, and it was all the money she saved from selling dried fish.

"Madam's counteroffer is too harsh. Twenty taels is definitely not enough. I can't even explain it to my boss." The shopkeeper waved his hand vigorously, but did not put away the silver needle, which meant that there was still room for success.

Bai Ruozhu quietly observed his expression, with a bitter look on her face, and said, "Twenty-two taels, then. You have to leave some money for me to take the bus home, right? I don't live in this town."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "Let's give in to each other. How about twenty-seven taels?"

The two of them started haggling over the price. After spending a long time, the shopkeeper seemed to have lost his patience and said in a more serious tone: "The price is twenty-five taels. It can't be any less. If it doesn't work out, it can only continue to play the game."

After saying this, the shopkeeper was about to put away the silver needle. Judging from his expression, he really refused to give in anymore.

Bai Ruozhu became worried. She really needed a set of silver needles. It was possible that she had left Fushou Tang and could not find ready-made silver needles in other medical clinics, or the quality of the silver needles was not good, so she reluctantly bought them in the future. Need to change to something better.

The set in front of her was very suitable to her liking, even though she only had more than twenty-three taels of silver in her pocket.

There was no such thing as installment payment in ancient times. She thought for a while and said to the shopkeeper, "I really don't have enough money. Otherwise, I'll pay you five taels of silver as a deposit, and I'll come over in the afternoon to make up the remaining twenty taels, right?"

In fact, she didn't want to make another trip. On the one hand, she was busy at home, and on the other hand, she was taking her child back and forth, which was too much for both herself and the child. But except for the money, she had nothing of value.

By the way, there is also a jade pendant, which was given to Xiao Dengdeng by the poisonous tongue man. Otherwise, why don't we use it as a mortgage first and get the money back after two days?

No, no, Bai Ruozhu shook his head silently. The jade pendant must be returned to others. What if it is lost?

The shopkeeper had no objection and immediately agreed. Bai Ruozhu took back the jade pendant she had held in her palm and took out five taels of silver. The shopkeeper quickly wrote a receipt and handed it to her.

When Bai Ruozhu left with Dengdeng in her arms, she reluctantly glanced at the acupuncture box.

She turned her head like this, but when she turned back, she found someone standing in front of her. Because she didn't look forward, she was about to bump into him.

She quickly took a step back and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Hey, no, why does this smell so familiar? Bai Ruozhu sniffed, she quickly looked up, and sure enough, a wooden mask came into view.

She was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses immediately, and said hurriedly: "I was just looking for you. I want to return the thing to you. This thing is too expensive to give to a child."

As she said this, she took out the jade pendant from her body and handed it to Jiang Yichun. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichun didn't accept it at all. Bai Ruozhu seemed to be able to feel how cold his face was behind the mask.

"Are you a child? How do you know he doesn't want it? Why do you make the decision for him? I gave it to him!" Jiang Yichun's voice was so cold that Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but shudder.

"My son is a good boy, and he will definitely not accept gifts from others in vain." Bai Ruozhu said with an ugly smile.

"The elder's gift is indispensable." Jiang Yichun's voice was still cold, but the end of the sound seemed to be jumpier than before, as if he was particularly happy to see Bai Ruozhu choked and speechless.

Bai Ruozhu was really speechless. She wanted to put the jade pendant aside and leave. But just as she started to think about it, the other party's voice sounded again, "I won't take back what I gave you. Even if you throw it away, it doesn't matter." I gave it to the child."

Bai Ruozhu just froze, neither putting the jade pendant in her hand nor putting it away. It was the first time she felt so panicked. Is this person her nemesis? Every time they meet, she either gets mad to death, or makes her so upset that she wants to punch someone.

Jiang Yichun saw that she was in a better mood and even spoke less coldly. He looked at Bai Ruozhu and asked, "How much is left?"

"Ah?" Bai Ruozhu was immediately stunned...
