Chapter Twenty-Three: On the Street
After settling down, Ye Qingge looked at Xianghua's wound again. It has improved in the past two days. Plus, he continued to take anti-inflammatory drugs and injections. It looked like the condition was good, and it might be better after a while.
"Don't touch the wound during the recent period. Take the medicine I gave you on time and eat more fruits and vegetables." Ye Qingge asked Vanilla while treating the wound.
"Herb, wait a minute while you and Xiaoyue help them clean up this place and check out the things sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will go out and I will leave Lin'er to you to take care of first. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."
Ye Qingge planned to go out first, sell some things in exchange for some money, and find some people to tidy up the house in the next two days.
"Lin'er, sister, go out. You, Xiaobai and sister Xiaoyue are playing here." Ye Qingge said to Lin'er again.
"Yeah, okay." Lin'er replied.
Lin'er is very obedient and smart, and Ye Qingge can leave with peace of mind even if Xiaobai is left with him.
"Sister, go ahead. Lin'er is a man and will protect everyone."
"Well, although our Lin'er is a small person, he is very brave." Ye Qingge touched Lin'er's head and said.
Seeing Lin'er and Xiaoyue running after Xiaobai, Ye Qingge put on her curtain hat with confidence and went out carrying a small box.
Today she wanted to go shopping first, and then go to the pharmacy to have a look. She still had a lot of medicinal herbs she picked after coming down from the snow lotus pond, which must be worth a lot of money. She had already put a few plants in the box when she went out.
The location of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very good. You can see the busy city after walking two streets.
The capital is indeed prosperous, with numerous shops, various hawking sounds coming and going, and people coming and going on the streets in an endless stream.
Not far away, Ye Qingge saw a relatively large pharmacy, presumably where medicinal materials could be collected.
"Boy, I have a few medicinal plants here, do you want to take them?"
"Hey, what do you want to sell?"
The waiter looked up and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl wearing a curtain hat and wearing very ordinary clothes. It seemed that she was from a small village, but she opened the door to welcome guests, sold and bought, and treated everyone the same.
Ye Qingge opened the box in his hand and handed it over. Inside were two ginseng plants, two Chonglou plants, one Ganoderma lucidum and one Gastrodia elata.
Chonglou is one of the main components of Yunnan Baiyao, which can clear away heat, detoxify, reduce swelling, and can also treat snake bites, while Gastrodia elata can treat tetanus, headaches and neurological diseases.
"Oh my god, you are so young, how can you dig up such good herbs?"
"Shopkeeper, come out and take a look!"
When Ye Qingge opened the box, the waiter was shocked when he saw the medicinal materials inside, and quickly called the medicine shop owner to come over and take a look.
"Little girl, where did you get this from? These herbs are not easy to find, and each one is in excellent quality."
The shopkeeper came out when he heard the waiter's voice. When he saw the medicinal materials Ye Qingge brought, he immediately stepped forward and talked about it. He also took out the medicinal herbs and looked at them and smelled them. His joy was beyond words.
"Dad picked these from the mountain. He was sick recently, so he asked me to sell them."
"That's right, I want all these medicinal materials, thirty taels in total, do you think that's okay?"
The old shopkeeper didn't doubt his presence, turned around and carefully took the medicinal materials from Ye Qingsong's bag and put them away.
Ye Qingge did some calculations and found that one tael of silver was about 800 yuan, and the price was reasonable, so he sold it immediately.
"Your father is sick. Do you need to buy him some medicine? I will prescribe a medicine for you to take back."
The old shopkeeper saw that a young girl named Ye Qingge had to take care of patients, and then said.
"No need to worry, shopkeeper, my father has something wrong with his heart, and he is suffering from an indirect illness. When I get back, he will slowly adjust it, oh no, adjust it."
Old shopkeeper: "..." Is there something wrong in my heart? Training? It seems something is inappropriate.
"Shopkeeper, do you know where I can find craftsmen? The kind who repair houses."
"I know, you go to West Street and take a look. There is an alley there with various craftsmen." The old shopkeeper was still very enthusiastic.
"Well, thank you so much, shopkeeper!" Ye Qingge inquired. After thanking the old shopkeeper, he took the money and went out.
After leaving the drug store, Ye Qingge walked down the street, and with the guidance of passers-by, he arrived at West Street in a short while.
West Street sells rough-and-tumble goods. No nobles or young ladies can be seen on the street. The only ones who come and go are the servants of the mansion.
Ye Qingge asked passers-by and found the street the shopkeeper mentioned.
"Master, do you know which master here can repair houses?" Ye Qingge walked to the street and saw a blacksmith who was forging iron, so he asked.
"Go to the house with the yellow door sail in the middle. They can repair any kind of house." The blacksmith said to Ye Qingge without raising his head.
"Well, thank you, master!" After Ye Qingge thanked him, he quickly came to the house the blacksmith mentioned and walked in.
"Little girl, what can I do for you?" A middle-aged man came.
"Are you the shopkeeper? I want to find someone to repair the house."
"No, my surname is Zhang, and I am the steward here. Can you tell me what kind of house you want to build? Our house is the best in the whole street." The middle-aged man asked and asked Ye Qingge to sit down.
Down.
"Girl, can I ask how big is the house that needs to be repaired? Where is it? How does it need to be repaired?" Although Manager Zhang saw that Ye Qingge was young, he still asked professionally.
"Let's see, you can bring someone to our house tomorrow. I will give you a drawing then, and you can make corrections according to the drawing."
Ye Qingge felt that it was not clear, so he might as well go to the scene and see.
"Also, I may not only repair the house, but also make some iron supplies. Can I bring a blacksmith with me when I come tomorrow?"
When Ye Qingge repaired the house this time, he actually did not want to renovate it on the original site, but wanted to rebuild it. He did not need to follow the construction model of the house here, but built it in a modern style, so he had to build something.
"No problem, we'll go there before tomorrow. Please leave your address, please." The steward said, turning around and bringing over a pen and paper.
"I told you to remember it." Asking her to write ancient prose isn't making things difficult for her.
The steward soon remembered the address and sent Ye Qingge out.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Qingge bought some pastries, steamed buns, two roast chickens and a few side dishes after going out and went home.
In Ruyi Building, Nangong Yichen stood in front of the window with his hands folded, looking intently at the petite figure in the distance, thoughtfully.
"Master, why did you help her yesterday?" Qingyu asked while cracking melon seeds.
He was actually quite puzzled. Although he heard from the black shadow what happened between his master and Miss Ye in the Snow Lotus Pond, this marriage was given by the emperor, and the object was the prime minister's daughter. It was too late to avoid it, so why did the master still pursue it?
?
Could it be that the master fell in love with Ye Qingge's...ugliness?
Well, Qingyu felt that the melon seeds in his hand suddenly lost their fragrance.
Little girl, you robbed me of my snow lotus before, and now I also give you a big gift. Doesn’t your father dislike you? I just want to add fuel to the fire to see how you can stay in Ye Mansion in the future.
.
Nangong Yichen thought with a slight smile on his lips.
Qingyu looked at the smiling Nangong Yichen with a dull look on his face: He knew it must be like this!
"Qingyu, we will leave tomorrow, you go back and prepare."
"Qingyu!"
Looking at the fanciful person opposite, Nangong Yichen raised his leg and kicked it.
Qingyu, who was kicked against the wall, looked at the snail speeding up in front of him and slid down.
