Because of Su Ruyi's sudden appearance, Dr. Song was invited back to the Yang Mansion.
Dr. Song was invited to the Yang family early in the morning because of those two walnuts. The Yang family specially asked him to identify whether they were old tree walnuts.
Dr. Song has lived for decades and has never seen an old tree walnut, let alone a thousand-year-old walnut. However, the two walnuts from the Lu family yesterday were indeed very different from those he had seen before.
Peeling off the outer peel, the walnut grooves inside are deeper than ordinary walnuts, and the color of the walnuts is darker, giving it a heavy sense of age.
After being cracked open, the outer layer of the ordinary walnut kernels was brown, but these two were golden. Based on this alone, everyone knew that this time the walnuts were not ordinary walnuts.
Dr. Song stayed in Yang's house all morning, drying two walnut kernels, peeling off the golden film, grinding them carefully into powder, and adding them to the plaster that Miss Yang usually applied.
When Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang heard that the precious walnuts had been delivered, they both rushed over. At this time, Miss Yang's face was still covered with a thick layer of plaster, so she couldn't care less.
Su Ruyi politely greeted the two of them, and Mrs. Yang was in a very good mood. She called for tea and asked Su Ruyi to sit aside and eat and drink.
The rest of the people gathered around the package brought by Su Ruyi and marveled.
This one still looks like it was just picked, it’s still fresh!
Doctor Song peeled one out and carefully put the peeled green skin into a pile. He thought to himself that the thousand-year-old walnuts must be treasures. Even the outer skin cannot be discarded casually. Maybe they are just medicinal materials.
Then he asked his subordinates to bring a small hammer and carefully cracked open the walnut shell, revealing the walnut kernel inside.
"It's golden, it's the same!"
Doctor Song announced loudly, and Mrs. Yang took a deep breath.
Miss Yang cried with joy, wiped her tears, and hurried to Su Ruyi's side.
"Sister Su, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Su Ruyi stood up quickly: "You're welcome, Miss Yang. It's my honor to be able to help you. I hope today's walnuts can relieve Miss Yang's sorrow and eliminate the root cause of the disease."
Miss Yang touched the tears in the corner of her eyes again. Regardless of the old and tattered clothes on Su Ruyi's body, she stepped forward and held her arm: "I hope so too. This walnut is extraordinary, and with Dr. Song's medical skills, it must have miraculous effects." The... alas..."
As he spoke, he sighed again, with a sad look on his face again.
After being treated for a long time, I became pessimistic. I had seen so many doctors in the past and the prescriptions were changed again and again, but the result was——
Now that I have received the thousand-year walnut, I am so happy that I am even more pessimistic. If the thousand-year walnut cannot cure my disease, I am afraid that nothing in this world can cure it.
Thinking of this, I was not only pessimistic, but also felt vaguely afraid and desperate. My eyes turned red, and my tears kept falling like raindrops on the eaves. I took back Su Ruyi's hand and took out a handkerchief from my sleeve to carefully wipe away the tears. .
Doctor Song said that this medicine should not be exposed to water, but she really couldn't hold it in.
"Miss Yang..."
"Sister Su, please sit down, I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he quickly left the main room.
Mrs. Yang looked at her daughter's back and felt sad in her heart. She said to Su Ruyi: "Ms. Su, don't blame me. My little girl is just too happy."
He turned around and asked someone to bring him a banknote.
"Ms. Su, this is a one-hundred-tael silver note. What do you think of the price?"
Su Ruyi was shocked. She didn't expect that the Yang family would directly offer a high price of one hundred taels, which was beyond her expectation.
Then it became clear again.
Also, when she stayed in the Lu family, she felt that one tael of silver was a lot.
There are real barriers between the poor and the rich. While the poor are still hoping for a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, the rich are already spending 10,000 yuan on a certain brand of ugly hairpins without blinking an eye.
The poor laugh at the rich because they are stupid and have too much money, but the rich just spend money to buy a novelty and don't feel bad about it.
One hundred taels of silver is not a big sum of money for the Yang family.
But it was already too much for Su Ruyi now.
Thousand-year-old walnuts are rare and their value is inestimable.
She didn't bargain, either.
The price of a thing often corresponds to the status of the owner of the thing. This is human nature. Just like when a man is looking for a girlfriend, he often depends on the other person's food. He does not buy gifts for his girlfriend based on his own financial strength, but on the girl. How much is a gift from a friend worth.
So, you still need to be strong in order to strike iron.
Su Ruyi is not yet qualified to bargain with the prefect's wife. Although she can fight for it, once she fights for it, she will lose her connections in the Yang family.
She was hastily grateful.
And because ordinary people couldn't use banknotes, Mrs. Yang enthusiastically asked Steward Yang to exchange silver coins and put them in a small bag.
Mrs. Yang was afraid that Su Ruyi would not be safe as a woman holding so much money, and wanted Manager Yang to send someone to take her home, but Su Ruyi politely refused.
Mrs. Yang said: "Ms. Su, if you can still find those walnuts, bring them to my house. Don't worry about the price."
Even if this baby can't heal my daughter's face, it still has many uses...
but--
"I don't know what the walnut tree looks like. I wonder if Mrs. Su can take my steward to see it for a while and ask him to give us a good talk when he comes back?"
It's better to rest assured after seeing it with your eyes. Walnuts need to be worth a thousand years, not just strange walnuts.
Su Ruyi looked embarrassed: "To be honest, that walnut tree is very strange. Every time I look carefully, I can't find it. But I would only have encountered it if I got lost that day. It was like this the first time, and the second time. It was like this last time. I picked these and couldn't find them when I went back to look for them. How weird!"
"oh?"
Mrs. Yang stared at Su Ruyi, trying to detect signs that she was lying, but Su Ruyi's acting skills were not something that ordinary people could see through. She looked confused, which made Mrs. Yang also confused.
"Yes, the thousand-year-old tree must have become a spirit. Madam Su, would you mind if I asked someone to look for it?"
Su Ruyi nodded very simply: "Okay! I really can't find it myself. Send more people to find it and maybe they can find it. I guess it's just that I'm lost, not that walnut tree!"
Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "As long as Madam Su doesn't mind, I'd like to thank Madam Su for this old walnut tree."
After a few simple greetings, Manager Yang sent Su Ruyi out of the Yang Mansion.
Su Ruyi quickly found a place to put the money into the space, and then she felt relaxed all over.
The rest of the time is to buy.
First, I went to a cloth shop and bought a piece of cotton cloth. Undyed cotton cloth is generally used to make underwear. Such a piece is enough for the whole family to use for many years - of course, this is based on past consumption levels.
I also bought fine linen in cyan and black colors. The cyan ones can be used for tops and the black ones for trousers.
Thinking of the only little girl in the family, Xing'er, Su Ruyi pulled off a few more feet of floral cloth with a green background and red flowers. Only little girls would look good in floral clothes.
I went to the market and bought a whole sheep.
This mutton has a bit of a smell, but it can be ignored. Su Ruyi, who is so picky, has been subdued by the environment and conditions. No matter how smelly the mutton is, you can eat it with relish, but it is not enough!
