Arriving in the town soon, the group went to Shen's Mansion first. After getting off the mule cart, Lu Dagui knocked on the door of Shen's Mansion.
After being reported by the porter, Shen Zhixue came out not long after, wrapped in a thick cloak, leading He Xiang and several women.
"Quick, please help move the things down." Shen Zhixue directed the women and walked towards Chu Yue, "Sister Chu, it's so cold, please bring the things here in person."
Chu Yue raised the corners of her lips, "It doesn't matter, since I have made a contract with Sister Shen, of course I have to keep my word."
Shen Zhixue smiled and held her hand.
"Would you like to sit inside and warm yourself up?"
Chu Yue shook her head and said, "No, we have other things to do later, so we won't disturb Sister Shen. When my shop is repaired, we will have many opportunities to get together in the future."
Shen Zhixue looked surprised, "Have you rented a shop in town?"
Chu Yue smiled brightly.
"Yes, it's on Xizhi Street, and it's currently under renovation."
"Okay, then I won't hold you up anymore. If you need any help, come to Shen's Mansion and see me. It's very cold today. You're wearing such thin clothes, I'm afraid you might catch a cold." Shen Zhixue stood aside. As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on Chu Yue, "He Xiang, pay the balance to Sister Chu."
Chu Yue looked at Shen Zhixue's movements, pursed her lips, then took out a charcoal pen and a small piece of paper from her sleeve and wrote down a recipe.
"I saw a lot of patients on the way here. This prescription has the effect of preventing plague. Sister, I can ask people in the house to bring some medicine back and fry it to eat, just in case."
Shen Zhixue was shocked.
"plague?"
"It may not be a plague, but it's definitely right to take precautions first."
After she finished speaking, she handed the prescription in her hand to Shen Zhixue.
Shen Zhixue took the prescription and held it tightly in her hand, "Thank you sister."
"Sister, there's no need to thank me. If something happens to you, you can send He Xiang to my house to find me."
Shen Zhixue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Chu Yue got the balance of ten taels of silver from He Xiang, then said goodbye to Shen Zhixue and left.
"Sister Shen, I'll wash this cloak tomorrow and bring it to you."
Shen Zhixue stood at the door of the house and waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, I don't only have this cloak. If my sister doesn't have one, just use it first."
Seeing that the mule cart was gone, she quickly took Tang Pozi from He Xiang's hand and walked to the house.
"Miss, do you have to go to the county seat today?"
There was a hint of anger on Shen Zhixue's face.
"Last time I did that in the kitchen, my father just sold the people in the kitchen and fined Su Shi a month's monthly allowance. The middle-income tax is still in her hands. Taking advantage of the fact that my eldest brother is at home these days, if I don't make some efforts to come out, , the stepmother and I will both have to drink the northwest wind." She walked forward quickly and asked, "Have you put those medicine bags on the carriage just now?"
"Put it up."
Hearing this, Shen Zhixue suddenly stopped and looked back at He Xiang.
"You don't have to follow me. Go and keep an eye on the carriage. I'll go back and get a cloak and come over."
"Yes, miss."
Feeling blessed by the fragrance of lotus, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the door of the house.
…
After Chu Yue and others left Shen Mansion, they should first go to the place where they received relief food. Lu Shoucheng's news was correct. Now they can indeed receive serious relief food. Although each household can only receive ten kilograms, but now In this world, ten pounds of food is enough to save the lives of a family.
Not many people heard the news, and with the cold weather, there was no need to queue up to receive the food. Soon, Lu Dagui, Lu Shoucheng and Lu Xinghe each received ten kilograms of food and returned to the mule cart.
Chu Yue, who was waiting on the mule cart, quickly took the food from Lu Xinghe's hand and opened it to take a look.
"Ah, the food is really distributed!"
Lu Shoucheng's face was filled with excitement, "You will have to spread the news to the village when you get back later. It's cold today and few people know the news."
"If Fourth Uncle is not in a hurry to go home, please come with us to Xizhi Street first."
Lu Shoucheng put the food in his hand aside.
"Sure, I'm not in a hurry. I'll just go and see the shop with you."
Lu Shoucheng originally thought that the shop bought by Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe was just a small shop. When he looked up and saw the large shop with two floors in front of him, he was so surprised that he almost twisted his neck. It was Lu Dagui who helped him behind him to stop his head. To straighten it out.
"Hiss!" Lu Shoucheng shook his head in disbelief, "Am I dreaming? Is this the shop you bought?"
"If it's fake, it's guaranteed to be replaced!"
Chu Yue smiled and pushed open the door of the shop, and saw several people busy in the shop.
Afraid that the people inside didn't know Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe and would bump into them, Lu Dagui squeezed in from the side first.
"Everyone has worked hard. My boss is here to check on the progress today. You can continue to work on your own business and don't worry about us."
Seeing what Lu Dagui said, everyone continued to do their own things.
A pot of charcoal fire was burning in the center of the room for warmth. Lu Shoucheng walked into the shop with a curious expression on his face and followed Lu Xinghe and Chu Yue around the two floors.
Lu Shoucheng said while looking at it, "This shop is really big. I thought it was just an ordinary single shop, but I didn't expect it to have two floors."
Lu Xinghe looked at Lu Dagui on the side.
"Dagui, please keep an eye on things here. You still have to take care of the house during the weekdays and don't make too much noise."
Lu Dagui nodded cautiously and said, "I know, I heard that there was a shop on the main street for repairs a few days ago. It was smashed by fellow United Refugees and a lot of things were robbed."
Lu Xinghe hummed.
"That's what I'm worried about."
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Lu Xinghe nodded and pushed open the door to one side of the shop, "Send us back first. You can come back here after dinner at home."
After saying that, he lifted his legs and walked out.
Chu Yue got on the mule cart, and suddenly remembered that she had something to do today, and hurriedly shouted outside, "Brother Dagui, stop when you pass by Chenji Pharmacy, I have something else to do."
Lu Dagui hurriedly responded, "Okay."
Arriving at Chenji Pharmacy, Chu Yue hurriedly got off the mule cart.
Shopkeeper Chen saw her coming and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Chu is here."
"Is Shopkeeper Chen okay?"
"It's all good, all good."
What's rare is that Dr. Zhu is here today. He hasn't seen Dr. Zhu for a while. Seeing him today, Chu Yue just feels pleasantly surprised.
"It's rare that senior brother is here too."
Doctor Zhu stood up with an embarrassed look on his face, "Girl, what do you think of me as a senior brother? It's really embarrassing to call me that."
Chu Yue covered her mouth and smiled.
"Master said before that according to seniority, I have to call you senior brother."
Doctor Zhu hummed, "Just listen to that old man's nonsense."
Shopkeeper Chen on the side saw this and looked at Chu Yue with some surprise, "I wonder how you girl has become so powerful these days. It turns out you have a good teacher."
He had met Dr. Zhu before. Although he didn’t know who he was, he couldn’t find anyone with such medical skills in Tongzhi County, not to mention Nanping Town. Especially his superb acupuncture skills, he could It is not an exaggeration to take one's life from the hands of the Lord of Hell.
