Chapter 18 Miss Wu

After Zhou Ran entered the Pingan Hall, she first asked the boy about the price of thirty-year-old ginseng, and then asked about the price of fifty-year-old ginseng.

The price of 30-year-old ginseng in Pingantang ranges from 70 taels to 85 taels of silver depending on the size and condition. The price of 50-year-old ginseng has more than doubled, and depending on the condition and size, the price is 200 taels. Two taels of silver to three hundred taels of silver.

As for the 100-year-old ginseng, the boy told Zhou Ran with a smile, "100-year-old ginseng has always been marketable and priceless. Once it appears, it will be collected by high-ranking officials and wealthy households for emergency use, let alone our southern ginseng." The Ping'an Tang in Xingxian County can't be found even if you go to the Ping'an Tang in Fucheng."

In the end, Zhou Ran spent eighty-five taels of silver to buy Ye Ximing a 30-year-old ginseng that was in the best condition. Ye Ximing had almost finished eating the ginseng stick that Dean Meng gave him before, so he bought this one and continued eating it.

After coming out of Ping'an Hall, Zhou Ran pinched her purse, which had shrunk by half, and felt distressed.

Originally, Zhou Ran earned the money herself, so it was okay for her not to spend money to buy ginseng for Ye Ximing. After all, they were not a real couple, but after more than two months of getting along, she really couldn't do it when she was capable. Under such circumstances, he ignored Ye Ximing's body.

Forget it, you can still make money after spending money. Zhou Ran comforted herself and took Ye Xiaomei to the cosmetics store to choose hand cream and face cream for herself and Ye Xiaomei respectively.

As an embroiderer, hands are very important. Zhou Ran didn't have much money before, so she bought the cheapest hand cream. This time, Zhou Ran had money, so she chose the best hand cream in the powder store.

Just a small box of hand grease cost two taels of silver, and Ye Xiaomei's heart trembled when she saw Zhou Ran spending money.

After finally waiting for Zhou Ran to finish the shopping and prepare to leave, before Ye Xiaomei could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Ran went back and bought three more bottles of face cream and three bottles of hand cream.

These were what she planned to give to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li when she went home. After all, they were doing almost all the chores at home. Many times, Mrs. Zhang would even wash her own dirty clothes for her.

After leaving the powder store, Ye Xiaomei was afraid that Zhou Ran would continue to spend money uncontrollably, so she hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law third, we have to go find Uncle Liu quickly. If we delay further, Uncle Liu's ox cart will leave."

"it is good……"

Before Zhou Ran could say "good", the system, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly made a sound.

[Short-term mission: Send embroidery embroidered by the Miss Wu County Magistrate’s family, HP +10 (limited to half a day)]

After hearing the content of the task, Zhou Ran almost cursed her. Not to mention where she met Miss Wu County Magistrate's family, she didn't even have time to embroider new embroidery in half a day!
While Zhou Ran was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, a carriage stopped at the door of the cosmetics shop. The curtain of the carriage opened, and first a little girl who looked like a maid jumped out, and then a round-looking girl wearing a pink skirt was helped out of the carriage. woman.

As soon as the woman got out of the car, the proprietress of the makeup store came out and greeted her warmly: "Miss Wu, why are you here in person on such a hot day?"

Miss Wu? Could it be the young lady from Magistrate Wu’s family? Such a coincidence? No matter what, you can’t miss this opportunity, fight for it!

Zhou Ran glanced at the handkerchief Miss Wu was holding. When Miss Wu and the others were about to pass by him, she staggered two steps in Miss Wu's direction, bumped into Miss Wu, and knocked the handkerchief out of Miss Wu's hand. He also fell to the ground.

"Miss!"

"Third sister-in-law!" Miss Wu's maids Chuntao and Ye Xiaomei exclaimed at the same time. Chuntao went over to help the startled Miss Wu, while Ye Xiaomei anxiously helped up Zhou Ran who fell to the ground.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Zhou Ran shook her head and said: "It's okay, maybe I'm too hot, I just felt a little dizzy."

After saying that, Zhou Ran looked at Miss Wu who was frightened by her, first apologized sincerely to her, then picked up the handkerchief from the ground that she had deliberately stepped on when she got up, and said with a guilty look on her face: " I'm sorry, miss, your veil was soiled by my stepping on it, I'll compensate you for it."

Miss Wu smiled good-naturedly and said, "No, you didn't mean it. What's more, you yourself were injured. You'd better go to the medical center to have your injury checked first."

When Zhou Ran fell down just now, the palm of her left hand scratched a layer of skin on the ground. It was not serious, but there was blood. In fact, not only the palm of the hand but also the elbow should be injured, but as long as the health points can be obtained, it is worth it.

Zhou Ran shook her head, "Miss is kind-hearted, but I can't let her suffer in vain. I must compensate her for the veil."

After saying that, Zhou Ran didn't wait for Miss Wu to refuse, took out her handkerchief and handed it to Miss Wu, saying: "This is my newly embroidered handkerchief. I haven't used it even once. If you don't mind it, please accept it." Get off."

Miss Wu's maid Chuntao said with some disgust: "Who wants your handkerchief? How can your handkerchief be compared with the ones our ladies use on daily basis? Our ladies have already said that you don't have to pay, why don't you get out of the way quickly?" Come on, take your veil and leave?"

"Chuntao!" Miss Wu scolded Chuntao, reached out and took Zhou Ran's handkerchief, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take your handkerchief. You can go to the hospital quickly."

The sound of mission success sounded, and Zhou Ran smiled brightly at Miss Wu. I sighed in my heart that Miss Wu was really kind-hearted. If only she had a bad temper and didn't hold myself responsible for bumping into her, how could she talk to me so kindly?
After the goal was achieved, Zhou Ran stopped pestering her, said goodbye politely to Miss Wu, and left with Ye Xiaomei.

After Zhou Ran left, Miss Wu looked at the vivid lotus flowers on the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and said to Chuntao beside her: "Look, her embroidery on this handkerchief is even more delicate than the one I used before."

"How is it possible? The lady's veil is from Ling..." Chuntao took the initiative to shut up after seeing the lotus embroidered on the veil.

But after a while, she became excited again, "Miss, don't you want to find someone to embroider a Guanyin picture as a birthday gift to Mrs. Qin? This person is such a good embroiderer, why don't you let her embroider it for you?" "

"Is this okay?" Miss Wu said hesitantly, "Will people be willing to do it?"

Chuntao said helplessly: "Miss, what's the problem? Didn't this person just say that she embroidered this handkerchief herself? And she doesn't look like she's from a wealthy family. Maybe she makes a living by doing embroidery." Well, it’s not like you don’t want to give her money, miss. Letting her embroider things can be regarded as helping her.”

Miss Wu thought about it, and said with some regret: "But she has already left."

"Miss, they have just left and should not have gone far yet. You go to the store and wait while I call them back." After Chuntao said this, she turned around and chased Zhou Ran and the others.
