Being able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter made the father feel proud, and shopkeeper Zhou's impatience with waiting was gone.
"Why are you so slow..." He twitched his beard and frowned, "It's not like I'm going to a banquet, I'm going to a medicine party..."
Zhou Liniang shook the hem of her skirt with some reluctance. In other words, what kind of medicine meeting would she go to? There would only be some people at the medicine meeting. They were just drug dealers, and those young men from high-ranking families would not go.
"Then I won't go...Miss Sun invited me to help her make silk flowers." Zhou Liniang said immediately.
"Stop." Shopkeeper Zhou quickly stopped her, with a bit of hatred for her daughter. "What kind of silk flowers are there? If you have that kind of skill, you might as well know a few more medicinal materials. That will be the capital of your future life." ! You should do something to avoid being betrayed by your son-in-law in the future. Men have great intentions..."
Zhou Liniang frowned and curled her lips indifferently, "What are you afraid of? When you recruited your son-in-law, didn't you ask him to sign a deed of betrayal? In this way, you will be in my hands for the rest of your life. Are you afraid that he will turn against you?"
Shopkeeper Zhou was a bit dumbfounded, and reached out to tap her forehead, "You, you are so smart... Although this is not authentic, it is still the best way..."
"Don't worry, I'm so smart and don't know what my father is trying to do..." Zhou Liniang said with a smile, rocking two beautiful jade earrings.
"It's too far away again..." Shopkeeper Zhou looked at his daughter and smiled with fondness. He suddenly remembered today's big event and hurriedly pushed her out, "Quickly, the Gu family girl is going out... Remember to take her with you, don't If you are too lazy to go drink tea and eat fruit... don't walk past the stall..."
Zhou Liniang responded with a yes, and waved her hands impatiently, "Dad, I know, I know, I have written it all down..."
She stepped onto the carriage on a small stool, looked around, and lowered her voice to Shopkeeper Zhou, "...Dad, are you ready? There won't be any mistakes, right?"
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled, helped his daughter onto the carriage, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's rare for my daughter to bother, don't worry, everything is ready, just waiting for the show to start..."
Zhou Liniang smiled, lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove out of the gate.
Gu Shiba Niang and Gu Hai just separated at the intersection and saw a small and exquisite carriage parked beside them.
"Baba Niang, you are walking so fast," Zhou Liniang smiled and opened the curtain and waved, "Quick, come up."
A faint smile appeared on Gu Shiba Niang's lips, she said hello and got on the carriage.
Several muffled thunders sounded in the distance, and the sky became a little gloomier.
The Great Medicine Fair is actually a big temple fair, but compared with other temple fairs, the highlight of this temple fair is medicinal materials.
Zhou Liniang's carriage entered the city gate and couldn't move even before it reached the edge of Wa Market.
"Miss, you can't get in here. You have to work hard and walk in." The driver stopped the horse and said.
Zhou Liniang opened the curtain and looked at the crowd of people outside. She couldn't see the road on the street and couldn't help but frown.
"How do we go about this..." She said unhappily.
Gu Shiba Niang had already got out of the car, and she had been extremely miserable sitting in this car.
"Okay then." Zhou Liniang had no choice but to jump out of the car, look at the sky, and told the boy to drive in to pick them up as soon as it rained.
Although the boy kept answering, he was muttering to himself that if it rained, it would be difficult for cars to get on the street.
Compared with the past, the divided market has now become a world of medicinal materials, with all kinds of shacks as far as the eye can see, bustling crowds, and shouts one after another.
In this crowd, there were obviously many people who were well-dressed and looked wealthy. Wherever they went, there were people who looked like shopkeepers coming out to greet them warmly. Behind them were many people, some of whom were carrying baskets and bags to sell their own medicinal materials, and some were just listening to what they said and did with their ears perked up.
Gu Shiba Niang watched these people pass by with a trace of surprise on her face.
"These people are all from big medicine companies..." Seeing her expression, Zhou Liniang made an expert introduction and pointed with the small fan covering her face, "They are from a big place..."
She wanted to name a few places, but unfortunately she didn't recognize them. Fortunately, she still remembered a few names Shopkeeper Zhou mentioned in his daily conversations. Thinking that Gu Shiba Niang didn't even recognize them, she pointed randomly.
"Look, that's the big shopkeeper of Su'an Wanbaoxiang... Don't you know Wanbaoxiang? It's the largest medicine shop in the capital, and it's exclusively for the medicine warehouse of Taiyuan Hospital..." Zhou Liniang looked envious. He said, "... The medicine store has really come to an end after doing this job. The children and grandchildren in the family each have a part-time official position, and there is no delay in making money..."
As she was talking, she heard Gu Shiba Niang laughing at the side. This was the first time they had seen this girl laugh since they met. This made Zhou Liniang a little surprised and a little unhappy.
Is this mocking her
"Why are you laughing? Even though I am not a scholar, I can still be an official. Not only scholars can be officials in this world." She said, with uncontrollable sarcasm in her voice.
Gu Shiba Niang pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said, "I'm not laughing at this."
"Then why are you laughing?" Zhou Liniang asked displeased.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and said nothing, looking at the group of people who were being cheered and swarmed as they walked away. She actually saw people she knew here, but these people looked much younger than she thought.
Wan Baoxiang naturally knows that after Shunhetang became famous, everyone has cooperated a lot. However, the person Zhou Liniang just extended her finger to was not Wan Baoxiang's shopkeeper, but the big owner of Jiankangbao Hezhuang Medicine Store.
I really didn’t expect that so many people would come to this medicine meeting in this small county town.
Zhou Liniang looked at Gu Shiba Niang's appearance and felt suffocated in her heart. She still laughed, as if you were crying.
"Let's take a look too." She didn't want to talk anymore, and pulled Gu Shiba Niang to look along the stall, "Ba Niang, since you know how to concoct medicinal materials, why bother digging for it yourself? Better than digging it yourself. .
Before she finished speaking, Gu Shiba Niang nodded simply, "Yes, that's what I meant."
Zhou Liniang blinked in a daze, and the remaining words of persuasion stuck in her mouth.
"You...you...that's right, you should have been like this a long time ago..." She could only end the topic with a smile.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, and there was something gloomy in her smile.
He also wanted to persuade himself to sell medicinal materials. So, was Shopkeeper Zhou and Peng Yizhen a coincidence or intentional? Could it be that his guess was wrong? Peng Yizhen didn't have a feud with Shopkeeper Zhou, but the two of them had joined forces.
