Mrs. Gu Qin said that it must be an auspicious day to go to the city to find a fortune teller to ask for a marriage. It must be to shut up the mouths of those gossipy ladies and protect her face. It must be like this!
In fact, since Gu Qin said these words, those aunts did not talk about the topic of hitting the wall anymore, and they only congratulated her.
After Lu Manman figured out this key, he felt a lot more relaxed and had a smile on his face again.
Gu Qin didn't know what Lu Manman was thinking. She had been looking for the medicine hall since she got off the bullock cart. Seeing that the medicine hall she was looking for was right in front, she quickly took Lu Manman's hand and led her directly
Went in.
Perhaps because it was almost noon, there were not many people in the medicine hall.
Lu Manman stood in the center of the medicine hall and looked around. Antique Chinese medicine cabinets filled the walls. The medicine boy said that he was very familiar with taking medicines.
"Come over here Manman, let the doctor take a look at your forehead."
Lu Manman heard Gu Qin's cry, she walked towards Gu Qin and sat opposite the doctor, letting the doctor check her pulse and check her injury.
"The injury on my forehead is recovering well. Take some Soothing Cream and rub it on it. There shouldn't be any scars."
Lu Manman's eyes lit up when she heard this. If she could look beautiful without scars, she would be happy.
"Doctor, how much does this Shuhen ointment cost per box?"
"Thirty taels of silver per box."
"Thirty taels?" Gu Qin felt that her voice was too loud. She glanced at the doctor and quickly calculated the price in her mind. Thirty taels of silver. If she saves more, it will cover her family's living expenses for nearly a year. She
Looking at Lu Manman, she saw that Lu Manman was also looking at her, and she gritted her teeth! Lu Manman's face was related to Lu Manman's whole life, and it would also affect Gu Heng, so she had to help Lu Manman treat it. As for the money, she could save it in the future.
As long as they don't starve to death, they should be able to continue living, and Gu Heng can continue to study: "Okay, I want a box."
Gu Heng glanced at Gu Qin, his eyes dark. His mother really loved Lu Manman. Now his family was in poverty, and three taels of silver was a huge sum of money, but she was willing to give it up. It's a pity... No, this
Now that he is back, there is absolutely no way he can make Lu Manman angry to death again.
Lu Manman felt a sharp gaze, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Heng. Although it was only for a moment, she still saw dissatisfaction and hatred in Gu Heng's eyes. A box of Shuhen Cream costing three taels of silver is indeed a bit expensive.
.Although she had no idea about money, she learned from the memory of the original owner that one tael of silver was equivalent to a thousand copper plates, which was a thousand eggs or a thousand vegetarian buns or five hundred meat buns. For three taels of silver,
It's indeed a lot. And considering that the Gu Heng family is reluctant to even eat meat... it's no wonder that Gu Heng looked at her in a bad way just now. If it were her, she would be unhappy if she spent such a huge sum of money on someone she didn't like.
.
Thinking of this, Lu Manman no longer blamed Gu Heng: "Auntie, I will definitely return this money to you."
"Nothing else, we are all a family." Gu Qin endured the pain in her body and said. Seeing the medicine boy bring Shuhen ointment, she carefully asked how to use it, then turned to look at Gu Heng and Lu Manman: "We
Let’s go, we have to find a fortune teller to ask about the auspicious day.”
"Ask the fortune teller?" Lu Manman looked at Gu Qin in surprise. Wasn't he trying to silence those gossipy ladies?
A dark light flashed in Gu Heng's eyes, and when he looked at Gu Qin, his expression remained as usual: "I still have to go to the bookstore."
"Auntie, I want to go to the bookstore too." How could she really ask Gu Qin to find the fortune teller? Lu Manman quickly spoke, looking at Gu Qin and said: "You know, I can't live without Gu Heng."
Gu Heng glanced at Lu Manman. When he looked around, he saw that the medicine boy and the doctor were looking at them. He coughed. This Lu Manman was really a talkative person. He said these things regardless of the occasion and place...explicitly.
words.
Gu Qin held Lu Manman's hand: "But I just said that."
"I just said that I would ask the fortune teller about the auspicious day, but I didn't say that I must find the fortune teller that suits me today." Lu Manman emphasized the word "suitable" and took the initiative to hold Gu Qin's arm: "Aunt, you and us
Let’s go to the bookstore together.”
After speaking, Lu Manman glanced at Gu Heng quickly, then moved closer to Gu Qin, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You come with us, so Gu Heng doesn't dare to bully me."
Gu Qin was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Lu Manman. Seeing Lu Manman nodding and his little face full of expectation, she glared at Gu Heng angrily: "Okay, let's go to the bookstore first."
Gu Heng was stared at by Gu Qin for no reason, and he didn't know what Lu Manman had said to Gu Qin. But instead of going to the fortune teller, he went directly to the bookstore, which was in line with his wishes.
Zhiyuan Bookstore.
Lu Manman stood at the door of the bookstore. This name is interesting. Does it come from Tranquility and Far Away? She followed Gu Heng into the bookstore. When she saw Gu Heng went directly to the shopkeeper, listening to them exchanging greetings, it seemed that Gu Heng did not
To bring out the fact that she wanted to sell pictures and texts. Thinking of what Gu Heng said before, he only helped with introductions. Could it be that the introduction did not mean that he introduced her to the shopkeeper, but that he only brought her to the bookstore?
Lu Manman looked at Gu Heng deeply, and saw that he didn't even glance at her from the corner of his eye. He was afraid that it was really what she thought. Even so, she didn't have to just wait for him to speak. She turned her eyes, and she had better go first.
Take a good look at the bookstore before talking.
Gu Heng didn't wait for Lu Manman to speak for a long time, and couldn't help but look at Lu Manman, and saw that she was looking around, and there was no sign of worry on her face. Is she really calm, or does she have other plans?
"Girl, what do you want to buy?" Lu Manman, the shopkeeper's question, also looked at Gu Heng's face. If it were any other woman, he would not ask, because most of the women here are illiterate.
.
"Do you have "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"?"
""Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"?" She actually asked, but what kind of book is "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"? The shopkeeper looked at Gu Heng and saw that Gu Heng didn't say anything: "I don't have this book here."
"That's such a pity. There are no such books full of mythological and romanticism. It's really uninteresting." Lu Manman looked at the shopkeeper: "What about "A Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"A Dream of Red Mansions?" The shopkeeper looked at Lu Manman, wondering if this girl was here to cause trouble: "Girl, what kind of book is this?"
"Using the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as the main clue, it focuses on describing the process of a large family from prosperity to decline, fully exposing the dissolute corruption of the ruling class, and of course reflecting various social contradictions. It is a profoundly thought-provoking film
A book of great significance and high aesthetic value." Lu Manman said.
The shopkeeper suspected that Lu Manman came in to stir up trouble through Gu Heng, but when he heard what she said, she was telling the truth, and he was a little confused: "Is there such a book?"
"The world is full of wonders. I thought your bookstore should have such a book, but it seems there is none? Oh! What a pity." Lu Manman said, then turned to look at Gu Heng: "If it were you
This is the bookstore you want to recommend to me, so I’m quite disappointed.”
