Chapter 7: go to town

Chapter 7 Going to town

Yu Wan didn’t have time to look at this ancient building, so she quickly found a pharmacy and pulled out a 500-year-old ginseng plant in the space. The pharmacy in Yongantang was open and looked quite big. Yu Wan walked in and saw an old doctor consulting a doctor.

Yu Wan stood aside and waited. A stick of incense passed by and the old doctor finished his work.

Yu Wan stepped forward. She had no time to bargain and put the cloth bag directly on the table: "Doctor, this is the ginseng I just dug. Can you buy it in your store? If you want it, I will sell it if the price is right."

The old doctor glanced at Yu Wan, then picked up the ginseng and looked at it calmly, "How about two thousand five hundred taels?"

"Two thousand five hundred taels", Yu Wan looked at the old doctor, a little surprised, thinking that anyone who gave a thousand taels was conscientious. Looking at the old doctor again, she could feel that the old doctor had an aura of elegance and aura that was different from that of a doctor, but it was clear that the old doctor had a medicinal fragrance that only comes from being immersed in medicinal materials for many years. kind.

This is not like the kind of people that should be in this small town, but Yu Wan doesn't care what kind of people they are, it is impossible to say that they are living in seclusion here.

 She can think about it.

 “Okay”, Yu Wan agreed readily.

She took the banknote handed over by the old doctor and checked the quantity. She didn't know whether the banknote was genuine.

After Yu Wan asked the old doctor to exchange one hundred taels of silver notes in cash, she still asked: "Old doctor, are the banknotes from Dagan Bank universally accepted nationwide?"

  The old doctor nodded a little surprised and said: "Yes, it is the royal bank."

Yu Wan thanked her and left Yong'an Hall.

 In Yong'an Hall, the old doctor changed his previous indifference and his eyes were filled with eagerness. He returned to the inner hall and with a wave of his hand, there was immediately a man in black clothes with a sword, who was obviously a secret guard. He cupped his hands and said, "Doctor Bai, what are your orders?"

He took out the ginseng sold by Yu Wan, packed it in a fine golden nanmu box and said, "Send this fast horse back to the capital to your master." After the secret guard took the wooden box, he disappeared.

Doctor Bai took a long breath. This five-hundred-year-old ginseng is not rare. What is rare is the rich vitality on it. I hope this ginseng can help that person.

　　Hey...that man is also a poor person.

Yu Wan came to the street. She only came here once in her memory. She only remembered the approximate route to the town, but she didn't know where to buy or sell things in the town.

There are four streets in the town, neither too many nor too long. She might as well look at them one by one, as long as there is an inn.

She walked into a street next to Yong'an Hall. At this time, there were only a few people on the street.

There are several cloth shops on this street. Yu Wan walked into a ready-made clothing shop, and the proprietress was closing the shop.

"Lady boss, I want to keep you a while while I buy some ready-made clothes."

The landlady frowned when she saw that she was a little girl: "Okay, you look first." She closed the door halfway.

Yu Wan went straight up and picked out two sets of cotton clothes and pants for each person, and two pairs of shoes for each person. She could still tell the approximate sizes.

In the end, Yu Wan spent five taels of silver to buy clothes. There were too many clothes. Seeing that the shop was closed today, a big customer came. He gave her a large piece of cloth and packed the clothes in one package.

Yu Wan carried the cloth bag and said, "Thank you, boss lady," and then came out of the clothing store.

The landlady said to Yu Wan in a friendly voice: "You're welcome, little girl, I'll come back next time and I'll give you a discount then."

I'll definitely come next time. Yu Wan saw that there were bed covers and quilts in this store, and the proprietress didn't look down on others.

There was no one on the street, so Yu Wan turned to a corner and put the cloth bag into the space.

 “Haha, this is really convenient, absolutely the best tool for home robbery.” Yu Wan muttered.

 Finally, she found an inn and stepped forward: "Little brother, can your inn still accommodate nine people?"

The second brother who was cleaning the lobby saw that she was a little girl and said angrily, "Yes, it's a lower-class room."

Yu Wan frowned. She saw that the shopkeeper was not there, so she asked the waiter, "Brother, where is your shopkeeper?"

"I said you are a little girl, you look so poor, why are you looking for our shopkeeper? If you look for our shopkeeper, you can live in vain. Go, go, don't disturb me from my work." He came to catch up with Yu Wan. go out.

 “What are you doing, little Liuzi?” A shout made the little Liuzi stop.

He said sarcastically: "Shopkeeper, this little girl wants to stay even though she has no money. No, I will drive her away."

The shopkeeper is about forty years old. He is wearing a green gown and a pair of thin black cloth shoes. He has a square scarf on his head and his hair is **** in a scholar bun. He has a delicate face and looks like someone who has read a book.

Yu Wan didn't say a word. She saw that the shopkeeper didn't look at her with contempt, but was very gentle.

 He stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, do you want to stay?"

Yu Wan: "Well, there are nine people in my family and we will stay there for a few days."

 “Yes, we have rooms in our store”.

Yu Wan thought for a while and said, "Can your store provide food?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange for the kitchen to be cooked right away. You go and pick up your family."

Yu Wan scratched her head in embarrassment: "Well, um, my parents are still in the village. Does the shopkeeper have a carriage? Help me take it?" After saying that, he took out five taels of silver and raised it in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't take the money. He said, "There is a carriage. I'll let the carriage go with you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the backyard.

Yu Wan glanced at Xiao Liuzi, hum! This is a **** that looks down on people, little guy, your aunt’s money will blind you.

But the shopkeeper is pretty good, and people who have read books are different. Oh, no, Old Yutou’s family doesn’t have scholars either. It can only be said that a hundred kinds of rice can feed a hundred kinds of people.

After a while, a carriage came out of the alley next to the inn. A middle-aged coachman cracked his whip. The carriage stopped at the door of the inn. The coachman said to Yu Wan: "Little girl, get in the carriage. Where is your home?"

Seeing that the little girl was young, the coachman wanted to get a stool for Yu Wan to step on, but unexpectedly, Yu Wan lifted the door curtain and jumped up.

 The driver opened his mouth, this little girl is so tough.

After Yu Wan sat down, she said, "Uncle, my home is in Yujia Village, not far away. The carriage will arrive with a stick of incense."

“Oh, Yujiacun, I know, sit tight, little girl.” After saying a driving sound, the carriage started to move.

“Little girl, you live in the village, why do you come to stay at the inn?” asked the coachman.

“My parents are both sick, so it’s convenient to come to town to see a doctor.”

 “Oh, the disease needs to be cured”.

Yu Wan: Can you speak?

 “Yes, if you are sick, you must take good care of it.”

 …

With a little more than a stick of incense, the carriage arrived at the entrance of Yujia Village. Yu Wan asked the carriage to turn around in the spacious area under the Yujia courtyard. She went up to pick up Yu Dahai and the others.

“Little girl, do you need help?” The coachman chatted with Yu Wan all the way, as if he was very familiar with her.

Yu Wan waved her hand and hurried back. When she walked into the west wing, Yu Dahai, who had already woken up, was just staring at the roof with his eyes blankly.

Yu Haoran's brother and sister were relieved to see Yu Wan back.
