Chapter 27 Wilful without Money (2/2)
Lin Mengya's attitude was mild and her voice sounded modest. Shopkeeper Wan suddenly got more good impression of the princess. He cupped his hands, bowed and immediately agreed to Lin Mengya's request.
”Here is my list.” Lin Mengya said. Ruyue immediately presented the list that the princess had just made. The name and dosage of the medicine were clearly written on it.
After receiving the list, the shopkeeper turned slightly pale.
The herbal medicines were not very valuable, but these were difficult to find. Even if in his Myriad Drug Pavilion, he could only find more than half.
No wonder the princess wanted him to help collect the medicine.
”Your Highness, I'll give you some of the medicine on it. But the others are really rare. I'm afraid I have to ask other people to search for you. But it's hard to say whether they can find it.” Shopkeeper Wan weighed his words and feard that he would provoke this distinguished guest.
”It doesn't matter. Shopkeeper Wan, just try your best to do it.” Lin Mengya lowered her head and took a sip of tea, with a faint smile on her face.
”Then that's good. But if I get some news, how should I inform you, Your Highness? Prince Yu's Mansion is heavily guarded, I'm afraid...”
Lin Mengya took out a suet jade ring from her waist, with the pattern of two phoenixes singing to each other and the character ”Yu” engraved on it, and she gently put it on the table, which startled Shopkeeper Wan.
This was Princess Yu's token, the jade ring with cyan and fire phoenixes!
”If you have any news, take this jade ring and come to tell me about it.” Lin Mengya rose and went downstairs. Shopkeeper Wan immediately held the jade ring, with his eyes full of excitement and fear.
”Oh my god, this is the princess's token. If I can keep it in the Myriad Drug Pavilion, it will be my talisman.”
”Boss, boss, the lady just now... she... she...” The little shop assistant rushed to the second floor and looked a bit anxious.
”Say it. Don't treat her coldly. If she needs something, try to satisfy her!” Looking at the jade ring carefully, he felt as if his heart were struck by a thunderbolt.
Watching the princess's guards take ten boxes of herbal medicines and quickly walk out of their shop, Shopkeeper Wan was overjoyed.
If this deal was done, the annual profits of Myriad Drug Pavilion would double.
”Come on, bring me the banknote the madam gave. I want to take it with me.” The loyal banknotes were marked with the national treasury seal. It was rare for ordinary people to have a look.
”Boss... Princess didn't give the banknotes or silver, but only this thing.” The shop assistant handed a piece of paper to his boss. Shopkeeper Wan almost spat out a mouthful of blood after seeing it.
God! The respected Princess Yu actually left a loan receipt! And it was signed with the name of Prince Yu, Long Tianhao.
Shopkeeper Wan, who tried to cry but failed to shed a tear, could only hold the precious jade ring and murmured.
”I hope Princess Yu will not be a deadbeat!” If the princess took his herbal medicines but would not pay for it, he would suffer great losses!
In the carriage, Ruyue snickered.
Just now, her miss made strokes with the ink brush and wrote a loan receipt in the name of Prince Yu.
This was the first time that she had seen somethone buy herbal medicines and leave without paying.
”Miss, do you know how the shopkeeper of the Myriad Drug Pavilion recognized your identity?” She cocked her head and peeled another orange for the young lady. Now, she really could not see through her young lady at all.
”Although our carriage has no sign of Prince Yu's Mansion, the four corners of the carriage roof are decorated with Coiled-dragon Royal Bells. Only the princes are qualified to use the sign of coiled dragon and only Prince Yu can use the octagonal royal bells, so as long as the man has the sight, he will guess it,” Lin Mengya said. Before she got married, she had read a book of royal ceremonies that Queen gave according to the rules.
