From the moment Gu Qingxue entered the shop to the moment she decided to buy the medicine, it took less than fifteen minutes. Her speed surprised the servant.
He had never met a customer who bought things so readily and so generously. The waiter quickly took the silver notes and left, preparing according to Gu Qingxue’s arrangements.
The servant had just walked to the back hall when he was suddenly pulled to a corner.
“Who’s there?!” The servant asked warily. He immediately saw the appearance of the person in front of him. “Madam, what are you doing? ‘
The person in front of the waiter was none other than Madam Kou, who had come to the Renyao Hall early in the morning to check the accounts.
These few days, Madam Kou had been working hard. Due to of Gu Chengbin’s serious illness, she had fallen ill with him and had not checked the store’s account books for a few days. She had handed them over to Gu Lingyue and Mu Chengyao to take care of. As the Madam of the house, she could not help but feel worried.
In the end, she was just checking the Renyao Hall’s accounts when she unexpectedly saw Gu Qingxue at her door.
Even if others could not recognize Gu Qingxue, Madam Kou could recognize her at a glance. She could tell that Gu Qingxue had come to buy medicine, which was why she had been waiting here.
After sizing up the servant, Madam Kou asked, “Is the young lady you served just now here to buy medicine? ‘
The servant did not know what he had done wrong. He nodded with a dull expression and replied, “Yes, this young lady wants the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, Buddha’s Eye Fruit, the top quality Snow Ginseng, and the Dragon Marrow Gra.s.s. however, our store only has the first three and we don’t have any Dragon Marrow Gra.s.s. that’s why I took this lady’s money and prepared to get her medicine.”
“She actually bought so many precious medicinal herbs at once? have you confirmed if she has enough silver on her?” In the kou family’s memory, Gu Qingxue had always been a woman living in a small village. Where did she get so much silver?
However, when Madam Kou saw the servant take out the one hundred thousand taels of silver that Gu Qingxue had given him, her eyes were so full of envy that they were about to bleed.
She had forgotten that today’s Gu Qingxue was no longer the same as yesterday. She had helped the heir of the regent prince’s residence and the wife of the Imperial Duke Zhan to treat their illness. She had also cured the plague and received a reward from the emperor.
When it came to the amount of money she had, Gu Qingxue alone was comparable to the entire Gu family.
The silver should have been confiscated and should have belonged to the first branch of the Gu family!
The waiter saw that the expression on Madam Kou’s face was gradually becoming more and more ferocious, and asked uneasily, “Madam, are we going to do this business or not?”
Madam Kou took a deep breath, hiding the greed in her eyes. “Of course I’m going to do it. Go and inform her that a Dragon Marrow Gra.s.s will be coming in tomorrow. If she is interested, she can come back tomorrow.”
The servant could help but wonder.
Since when did their shop start selling Dragon Marrow Gra.s.s? Why did he not know about it?
However, since Madam Kou had spoken, the servant could only nod his head in agreement. He then went to get Gu Qingxue’s medicine as instructed.
Gu Qingxue drank her tea and waited for a while. The servat quickly brought the seven medicinal herbs and two thousand taels of silver to her.
The medicinal herbs were placed in brocade boxes. The waiter smiled and said respectfully, “Miss, these are the herbs you wanted. Please check them.
Gu Qingxue looked at the herbs one by one.
The Renyao Hall was worthy of being Jing City’s number one pharmacy. Not only were these medicinal herbs precious, but they were also well preserved. It could be seen that Madam Kou’s ability to support such a large family business was not without its merits..
