Chapter 89 Crazy
When the old doctor saw that Pan Yingying was finally willing to let go of his inkstone, he let out a long sigh and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Although we had received news from old man Qingyun early on that the young princess had an unusual temper, this was too unusual.
Under Pan Yingying's death threat, Yu Chaosheng finally only got ten prescriptions and paid for the consultation and medicine.
After the two men left with the medicine bags, the old doctor urged the only little medicine boy, "Quick, quick, quick! Close the door quickly, we're leaving right away!"
The little medicine boy closed the door as he was told, and the old doctor quickly walked to the woodshed in the backyard.
In the woodshed, an old man and a child had their hands and feet tied up and rags stuffed in their mouths. When they saw him come in, they looked at him beggingly.
The old doctor put the ten taels of silver that Yu Chaosheng had just paid into the old man's arms and said, "I'm sorry, I have to make an emergency decision. I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened today."
He glanced at the two of them, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his old eyes, "Otherwise..."
The older one nodded repeatedly. If he hadn't been tied up, he would probably have knelt down and kowtowed.
Seeing that they knew what was happening, the old doctor took out a dagger, cut the rope that tied the old man with one stroke, then stood up and left quickly.
The old man pulled the rag out of his mouth and quickly untied the child next to him.
The little boy's face was covered with tears and he threw himself into the old man's arms.
The old man stroked his back gently, "It's okay, it's okay." He picked up the silver ingot and showed it to the boy, "Look, we were tied up for a whole morning and only got ten taels of silver. In the end, we still made a profit."
The little boy cried out, "Grandpa! We almost died and you're still joking!"
The old man chuckled and said, "Let's go and buy two pounds of meat to eat."

After throwing the medicine bag and the shoulder bag of things into the space, Pan Yingying did not give Yu Chaosheng a good look. She didn't want to bother with this brat.
Yu Chaosheng grabbed her wrist and insisted on going shopping, saying, "Consider this as an apology to you. All your expenses today will be paid for by me, Master Yu!"
Pan Yingying rolled her eyes and turned her face away, "You said that."
Yu Chaosheng heard that she was finally willing to accept his words, so there was no reason for him to deny it. "Of course it was me who said it. Let's go, let's go. If we don't go, we're not giving her face. Let's go shopping first and then go buy stones."
Pan Yingying was pulled by him, asked the street vendors, and went straight to the largest silver shop in Huai'an.
The Silver Building is four stories high, with carved beams and painted buildings, and is extremely magnificent. The plaque above the gate reads "Treasure Building" in fancy writing.
As soon as I entered the Treasure House, a waiter in his teens came up to greet me with a smile.
"What would you two distinguished guests like to see?"
Yu Chaosheng casually threw out two taels of silver and said, "Tell me what you have for sale."
The two taels of silver reward immediately opened up the waiter's mouth, and his smile became more sincere.
"In reply to your question, the first floor of our Treasure House sells ordinary jewelry, the second floor is slightly better, the third floor sells ordinary treasures, and the fourth floor sells the best treasures."
Yu Chaosheng nodded, glanced sideways at Pan Yingying who was folding her arms, and said to the waiter, "Go to the fourth floor."
The waiter's eyes suddenly lit up, "My two distinguished guests, please follow me."
Going up the stairs on one side to the fourth floor, the two were led by the waiter to a room called "Qingzhu".
The wing room was elegantly decorated, with fresh incense burning. A bronze mirror as tall as a person stood by the window.
The waiter asked the two to sit down and served them tea and snacks.
The tea was the best cloud tea, and the snacks were also carefully made. "We also have clothes, shoes and socks in our Treasure House. Do you two distinguished guests need anything in this regard?" The waiter bowed his head slightly, with a respectful attitude.
He had the confidence to go up to the fourth floor and was dressed well, so the waiter didn't dare to be careless, for fear of offending an important person if he wasn't careful.
Yu Chaosheng looked at Pan Yingying, who waved her hand and said, "It's all right. Let's see first."
The waiter responded, retreated behind the screen, and whispered something to the person outside the door. After a while, a woman in purple came in with a dozen girls dressed as maids.
The woman first bowed to the two of them, introduced herself, and then said to Pan Yingying respectfully, "Madam, please allow me to measure your size."
Pan Yingying stood up and was led by her to another screen embroidered with green bamboo.
After taking the measurements, the woman bowed and left the room, and the waiter winked at the maids carrying the trays.
The maids all stepped forward so that Pan Yingying could see clearly what was on the tray.
Even though Pan Yingying boasted that she had seen countless jewels, she had to admit that these things were indeed skillfully made. For example, the hollow gold and jade-inlaid forbidden step, it was said that one could put incense pills inside, and the fragrance would waft around as one walked.
But her favorites are the three small handbags that are extremely gorgeous.
One of them is square in shape, made of pure gold, and inlaid with various gemstones on the surface. The color combination is very friendly to the eyes.
The other two are one ellipse and one rectangle, and they should be from the same series as that one.
Yu Chaosheng was very interested. He took the bag to the dressing mirror and put it on himself one by one, looking at himself in the bronze mirror for a long time.
Pan Yingying found it funny and deliberately put on a stern face and asked him, "You don't carry a bag, what are you trying on?"
Yu Sheng turned his head, rather unconvinced, "Anyway, I'm the one carrying your bag, so of course I have to try to see if it looks good on me!"
Pan Yingying opened her mouth and was about to say, "You always carry my bag," but suddenly she remembered that before she traveled through time, every time they went out to discuss business, it seemed that Yu Chaosheng was the one who carried her bag.
Pan Yingying: ...
Boy, I'm speechless.
"Have you chosen yet?" Pan Yingying stopped dwelling on the topic and asked directly.
Yu Chaosheng nodded, "I want all three."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter smiled happily and started to sell him a few other things.
Pan Yingying waved her hand, "I'll take them all. If you have any other good things, send them over as well. I have something else to do in the afternoon and can't delay."
The waiter nodded repeatedly and hurried to the door to greet them.
At this time, the woman who had measured Pan Yingying's measurements not long ago came in with seven or eight maids.
The tray the little maid was carrying was filled with ready-made clothes and matching shoes and socks.
The woman clapped her hands gently, and the maid who put down the jewelry tray came forward and spread out the clothes one by one, allowing Pan Yingying to choose.
Pan Yingying only took a quick glance and before she could see clearly what the pattern was, Yu Chaosheng waved his hand and said, "Wrap them all up!"
Pan Yingying: ???
Is this guy finally going crazy?
The woman looked delighted and took the maids to pack the food. The waiter then brought in another maid carrying a tray.
Yu Chaosheng picked out two pieces of poor quality and bought the rest. The final total was 7632 taels.
He generously took out two silver notes of 5000 taels and handed them over, "Pick some more things from the first floor for me, and make up 7700 taels. Exchange the remaining silver for gold ingots. Is that okay?"
