Chapter 162 The feeling the other party gave her is inexplicably familiar
Although there is a city gate, there are no guards, as if it is just a decoration.
The three of Shen Mingjiao walked in, and the inner island was obviously much more lively. There are many women squatting on the side of the road and setting up stalls. But it's all barter.
There are processed fur materials and brightly dyed linen.
Shen Mingjiao picked up a piece of bright red linen cloth curiously: "How is this cloth dyed?"
There shouldn't be any dye here, right?
The woman in front of the stall mentioned a plant name that Shen Mingjiao had never heard of. It is said that it can be dyed by smashing it and mixing it with water.
Ru Hua walked over, picked up a piece of green cloth and put it in front of her, compared it back and forth, obviously she liked it.
Shen Mingjiao sighed, beauty is indeed a woman's nature, no matter how tough a woman is, she can't escape this conclusion.
Since she has taken a fancy to it, Ruhua said to the stall owner, "I want this piece of cloth."
Shen Mingjiao was curious about what she would exchange, so she took out a linen bag from her bosom, opened it, and there were at least a hundred pearls in small piles inside.
Shen Mingjiao looked straight, she has always been proficient in this way, she can tell at a glance that these pearls are all top grade, and there are several pink ones.
There are so many pearls, just to exchange for a piece of linen, it’s too much to hug!
The stall owner glanced in disgust, "So small?"
Ru Hua really fell in love with this piece of material, she laughed and said, "I have a big one at home, I'll put it on credit first, and bring it to you another day."
The stall owner accepted the bag of pearls and nodded reluctantly.
Shen Mingjiao looked at Ruhua happily hugging that piece of yellow linen that she thought was cheap.
Ruhua turned her head and took her hand: "Let's go, go to the opposite side to find eldest sister."
Shen Mingjiao asked: "Pearls are very common here?"
Ruhua: "What are pearls? Oh, you said clam pearls! There are many of them in the sea? Why do you want them? I want me to go back and get you a basket."
Shen Mingjiao: "..." Sister, is this a pearl? How to say like Chinese cabbage.
She asked tentatively: "How big is the big pearl that the stall owner said?"
Ruhua gestured casually.
Shen Mingjiao's heart trembled, that was the best Dongzhu! If there are good quality ones, one can sell for thousands of taels.
Now it is exchanged for this humble bolt of linen, and there must be more than one piece.
After Ruhua heard her words, she felt incredible: "You people are so strange, what's so strange about clam beads, when I was a child, I was in a bad mood and I liked to throw a whole basket of clam beads into the sea one by one, listen Echo, it's pretty cool."
Shen Mingjiao: ...Can you be upset? If you are in a bad mood, you throw pearls into the sea, and every throw is a basket. What is luxury? This is called luxury.
Cuihua carried the wheat to an oil stall, and exchanged a sack of wheat with the stall owner for two barrels of oil.
When Shen Mingjiao and the two walked over, it was obvious that the deal between the two parties had been concluded.
"Go to Dr. Zou for a change of medicine?"
Shen Mingjiao: "For your grandmother"?
Cuihua nodded: "Grandmother has a cough."
Shen Mingjiao rolled her eyes: "Is Doctor Zou's house very close to the Island Lord's Mansion?"
"Well, because Mr. Su is weak, Dr. Zou has been staying at the owner's house."
Shen Mingjiao: "Then let's go!"
Ruhua glanced at him puzzledly: "You really want to go to the island owner's house?"
"Yeah, I'm curious what your island master looks like."
The island owner is considered the ruler here, and she must know more than Cuihua and the others. She naturally has to meet with each other to find a breakthrough to leave.
At this time, there were comments from several women around: "I heard that Mr. Su is not in good health again, and the island owner passed down a message, saying that he should collect enough water lily grass to make medicine for Mr. Su.
Anyone who takes enough water lily grass to the island owner's house can be exchanged for satisfactory items. "
"Sister, it's easy for you to say, but the water lily grass grows in the dense forest on the South Island, which is not very pleasant."
"Didn't Mr. Su get better a few days ago? Why is he sick again?"
"It's not because of his oily son! It is said that when Mr. Su saw that kid come back covered in bruises, he immediately became ill with anger."
"I have never seen such a boy. He was very wild at a young age, wandering around outside the house all day and night, and often fighting with girls."
"Hey, so he must be able to beat him? Last time I passed by the alley, I saw him being beaten by several girls. He was beaten terribly. There was blood all over his body. You don't know the look in his eyes at that time, obviously It's a five or six-year-old kid, but that look makes me shudder, I've seen a ghost..."
The figures of several people gradually faded away. For some reason, Shen Mingjiao felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she heard these words.
She shook her head secretly, thinking it was just her sympathy flooding for a while, she didn't think about it too much, there are many poor people in this world, and she is too busy to take care of herself right now, so she has no time to meddle in such nosy things.
Several people came to the island owner's house soon. After all, he is the boss on the island, so the house should be more elegant.
A whole row of wide bluestone yards, with several lush unknown trees planted at the entrance.
The old lady guarding the door saw the people coming, and her gaze stayed on Shen Mingjiao's face for a while. After asking them clearly why they came, she said "wait a moment", and then went inside to pass on a message.
Come out soon, "It's a coincidence that you two are here, Dr. Zou will be fine right now, come in!"
The old lady led a few people into the courtyard. Shen Mingjiao glanced at the decorations in the courtyard, and couldn't help being taken aback. If it wasn't for the different layout of the house, she almost thought she had returned to the capital.
She pondered in her heart, it seems that the identity of Mr. Su is not simple!
But at this moment, she heard a creaking sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the ground,
Turning his head in search of the sound, he saw a middle-aged man pushing a wheelchair towards here not far away.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't help looking at the man in the wheelchair, only to see that his face was pale. His thin body made his originally strong and handsome facial features a little weaker.
in this way. At first glance, one might think that he is a mild-tempered and weak young man, but his eyes are deadly cold.
Shen Mingjiao paused, not because of the calm and unwavering coldness in his eyes, but because the other party gave her an inexplicably familiar feeling.
