Chapter 8 8. Spend money
The 300 green onion pancakes and 9 pounds of braised pork were sold out quickly.
Cheng Xi counted the income and made one or two silvers after deducting the costs.
This income is enough for ordinary people to have enough food and clothing, but now time waits for no one, it is still too little.
When the reputation of Braised Pork is established, you can try selling it.
"Brother Wang, we have thirty kilograms of pork today."
"Okay, I'll give you a penny less for every kilogram. Have you finished what you bought yesterday?"
"Did some business? . ”
Cheng Xi gave several coins to the meat stall owner, and then took the pig’s trotters and ears that he had ordered.
To get home from the pier, she had to pass through the main street of Lin'an Mansion. She went to the grain store and bought fifty kilograms of white flour, thirty kilograms of polished rice and ten kilograms of soybeans. All the spaces on the trolley were clearly arranged. .
Thanks to the original owner's natural power, otherwise it would be a question whether he could push it.
Turn into the alley where the Shen family is located, Cheng Xi saw a low-key yet luxurious carriage parked at the door, with servants in gray clothes standing on both sides.
We have visitors.
She guessed the identity of the other party and heard clear conversation coming from the yard.
"Brother Shen, how are you feeling these days, but have you seen the doctor?"
"Ahem, please, please, Brother Zhou, I'm thinking about you, I'm fine."
A violent cough sounded.
Shen Xingqi was a little anxious, "Brother, it's cold outside. You just started to get better, but you can't stay here anymore."
"Look at me, I was negligent. Brother Shen, come in quickly!" "
Cheng Xi parked the car at the door, and when he pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was the cheap man who was so weak that he was about to fall down at any time. His clear face showed deep fatigue, and the cyan color in his eyes was visible.
"???"
When did her husband become so weak?
Looking like he won’t survive more than two episodes is really a bit bluffing.
"Brother Shen, this is"
When Master Jinfu saw Cheng Xi, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, with a slight smile on his handsome face, looking kind and friendly.
Shen Xingluo coughed twice and was out of breath.
"This is Zhuo Jing. Xi'er, this is Mr. Zhou Xuzhi, my husband's classmate in the academy."
"It turns out to be Mrs. Shen. Brother Shen didn't know Zhou Xu when he got married. Someone has never come to congratulate you It’s really rude.”
“Mr. Zhou, since I’m my husband’s classmate, just let me know what I mean.”
Cheng Xi slightly turned away from the other party’s courtesy and looked at him calmly. .
The brocade clothes and vertical crown, whether it is the fixed hairpin with rubies on his head or the carriage outside, are enough to illustrate the family background of this young master Zhou. His handsome facial features, especially the smile on his face, add to his charm.
The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture seems to be named Zhou Lai
"Ahem——"
Cheng Xi withdrew his gaze and turned to face Shen Xingluo with a bottomless look. 's black eyes.
"Brother Shen, today I specially invited Dr. Wu from Renxintang. Would you like him to take your pulse?"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Thank you, Doctor Wu."
The old man behind Mr. Jinyi came forward with a medicine box, stretched out his right hand and put it on Shen Xingluo's wrist. He shook his head and sighed for a moment.
"Young Master Shen's pulse is weak and weak, and his abdomen may have been injured."
"Brother Shen is the Jieyuan of our Lin'an Mansion, so nothing should happen to him. Even if Doctor Wu prescribes medicine, he must do it." Heal the injury. "Yes, yes, I will prescribe it."
Doctor Wu cautiously wrote a prescription, and Shen Xingluo thanked her and handed it to her sister and started coughing again.
Cheng Xi supported him, "Husband, do you want to go back to your room to rest?"
"Mrs. Shen is right. Brother Shen should go back to his room. It's not Zhou's fault, it should be Come back for a visit in a few days.”
The other party didn’t seem to intend to stay any longer, and after a few words of greeting, the luxurious carriage quickly disappeared into the alley.
Next to her, Shen Xingqi held the freshly baked prescription Liushenwuzhu in both hands.
"Brother, why has your condition worsened again? What should we do? Should I go get you some medicine first?"
"Go."
Soon there were two people left in the yard. people.
Cheng Xi took back the hand that was supporting him and held a medium-sized ball in her palm.
“It is said that holding an iron ball under your arm can change the strength of your pulse and even cause a brief pulse arrest. Is this true?”
"My wife is smart, but I didn't expect that she also studied medical books."
Shen Xingluo, who had been exposed, had no guilt at all, and looked out the door with a sharp look that revealed coldness.
“That Zhou Xuzhi wants to take the top prize?”
“Which student in the world doesn’t want to take the top prize? Why do you ask me that?”
“I remember that he was the first prize in the Lin’an Prefecture Township Examination. , ruining you, and coupled with the influence of the Zhou family in the court, it is not difficult to pass the exam in one fell swoop.”
As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, she noticed that the way the cheap husband looked at her changed.
“What, what I said is wrong?”
Shen Xingluo’s dark eyes were heavy, his thin lips pursed tightly, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze.
“How did you know?”
"I guessed it. Now it seems that my guess is right."
Cheng Xi rarely recalled the experience of the original owner since she came here, but Shen Xingluo's pretending to be sick just now reminded her of something.
On the day the results were released, he encountered robbers who were ruthless and even ruined his appearance. And the original owner went all over the state and failed to find a doctor willing to go out. Even if it was raining heavily, Jieyuan's name should not be so cheap.
Some people dislike cheap men and want to get rid of them quickly.
Who could this person be?
Firstly, Shen Xingluo's reaction gave her inspiration, and secondly, Zhou Xuzhi's acting skills were not up to par.
The handsome young man’s kind smile was enough to deceive the little girl, but it could not hide it from Cheng Xi’s eyes.
She has to face countless business elites every day in the workplace who are smiling on the outside but want to kill each other on the inside. How can she dare to manage such a large company without any discernment.
“Since you know that he is not well-intentioned, you still asked Xingqi to grab the medicine that is definitely ineffective. Do you intend to drag him down?”
“Now is not the time to fight back.”
Shen Xingluo lowered his eyes, hiding the deep meaning in his eyes, "Madam, do you have any other suggestions?"
"It's not impossible."
Cheng Xi had a toothache, "It just costs money."< br>
Shen Xingluo: "."
