Shao said, "The reason why our pharmacy provided the medicine without blinking yesterday is because Doctor Zhou Junior intervened on behalf; she is our Jishi Hall's attending doctor, a famous 'divine doctor' in the capital. Our head shopkeeper, who doesn't look at the monk's face but looks at the Buddha's face, only charged the cost price. If we charged the original price, that pill would have been one hundred and fifty taels."
Shao took out a bill and showed it to Old Madam Yue, "Here is the bill, our pharmacy had it sent to the residence yesterday. The extra three taels and three qian of silver were for the freshly prepared medicine. You can take a look."
Seeing Old Madam Yue's face stiffen, Shao bowed with a smile and said: "If the Old Madam does not trust us, feel free to take the prescription to any other pharmacy and inquire about the price. I guarantee our Jishi Hall's medication will not be more expensive than other pharmacies'."
