Chapter 171: Truly Aged and Run-Down

ave no one stronger than you. 。Perhaps next time you won't be so lucky, and there will be no return. 。She had walked away, but he was still standing there. 。After a long silence, he finally sighed hel...A pale gold bird flapped its wings and circled her twice, Night Wen's voice soft as it spoke to it: "Scatter your essence among these flowers, making sure every petal is evenly covered. Can you do that" The bird nodded, its chirps melodious, flipping perfectly in the air before immediately diving towards those plum blossoms 。At the same time, Ye Wen also accompanied it, spreading his own spiritual energy and silver light evenly over each flower. 。Until the spell was over, she didn't do much. However, the familiar bird was exhausted and had to gnaw on some preserved plum to replenish its energy. It chirped happily before being taken back by Ye Wenyan. 。She got up and walked to the outer hall, calling everyone waiting outside in. She had them all join her in placing a flower inside each porcelain bottle filled with pills before sealing them tightly. 。No one understood why, but everyone obeyed Ye Wen's words without exception. Even the clerk followed suit, moving more nimbly than anyone else. 。Ye Wen praised him a few words, and he was very happy, "I have to do these things anyway. I'm used to it. I just didn't expect that I could still follow Ye Si Jie together." 。"Fourth Sister, is it true that you used to pay for the pills" Ye Chu Lian heard this and sighed helplessly, "Our family could hardly afford to miss this amount of money" "This isn't a small amount, this is a lot of money!" The clerk panicked, "You can't possibly think that only a little bit of silver is needed I wouldn't be able to explain to the shopkeeper!" 。"Don't worry, don't worry. We can afford any amount of silver. The First Rank General's Mansion wouldn't shortchange you." 。Look back, just remember how much medicine you've used, and we will definitely pay. 。"

Ye Wen listened to their words, but remained silent. He kept repeating the action of putting flowers into the bottle with his hand, while pondering the clinic in his heart. 。With the current situation in the city, there are too many people who need medical attention. Even without extra doctors, people desperately need a large supply of medicine. 。If she were to take all the pills for herself, what would happen if other people came looking for medicine She couldn't possibly save one group of people at the expense of another. That wouldn't make any sense. 。Before seeking medical advice, everyone is equal. 。So even if all these flowers were packaged, she couldn't take all the pills. The clinic still needed some. 。It took half an hour to get this ready. During this time, Zhuier and Suixi came back. The child had already been sent to Lin'an Prefecture and was being temporarily cared for by Madam Chi. 。At the same time, Madam Chi also had the Magistrate write a notice to be posted. Whoever lost a child would come to claim it. 。Ye Wen trusts the Chi family's ability to handle things, so she lets Zhuier and Suixi take a break and join her in filling medicine bottles. She sends Jie Du back to the First Rank General's Mansion again, with the purpose of getting some silver and banknotes. 。She came out in a hurry, not even bothering to go back to her own courtyard. 。He had some silver on him, but it wasn't much. It wouldn't be enough to pay for these pills, and if he encountered something else that required money along the way, he would be in a real bind. 。And she also missed the maidservants in her own courtyard. Although she hadn't lived there for many days, and she couldn't even remember the names of many of them, they were still people who had served her. At this time, as their mistress, it wouldn't do to just ignore them. 。But that was just to ease her mind. She had already remodeled her courtyard when she dug a cellar to hide gold, silver, and jewels. 。Compared to other courtyard houses, that place is the most solid feng shui treasure. 。Although this earthquake was powerful, it wasn't strong enough to completely destroy her courtyard. So, the people inside her courtyard should be safe, barring any unexpected events. 。Jié Dù líng had his life taken, vanishing like a wisp of smoke in an instant. 。"Zhu'er was jumping in agitation: 'Oh dear, he left so quickly! I didn't even have time to tell her where we kept our silver notes. What are we going to do if we can't find them when we go back'"

Ye Wen comforted her: "Don't worry, he's not stupid, he'll go ask Grandma Ji for it." 。Then only did Zhuai'er feel at ease. 。Half an hour later, the flowers were almost ready. Ji Du returned from the General's Mansion with silver notes, and Ji Rong also carried two large sacks to 。Only upon asking did I learn that he had visited over ten government residences before filling these two bags. 。Ye Wenyan finally settled down, she wasn't afraid of anything else, just the lack of flowers. As long as there were flowers, any difficulty to her would be a trivial matter. 。There were almost three hundred medicine bottles in front of her. After some thought, she took out a portion of them and pushed them towards the peddler. 。"These are left in the shop. If anyone comes looking for medicine due to injuries, you must ask them clearly about the severity of their wounds." 。If it's just a bruise, give one pill. If it's a bone or muscle injury, give two to three pills. 。This medicine can be taken orally and is very effective. 。"

The buddy listened and frowned, “How miraculous is it Two or three could heal serious injuries It’s also taken orally. Aren't medicines for bone injuries supposed to be applied externally Besides, these pills are generally used for internal injuries, not external ones. Sister Four, don't be biased. Although I'm just a merchant, I was an apprentice and studied pharmacology. " 。"

Ye Wen reached out and patted him on the arm, "I didn't lie to you, just listen to me." >>> 。But remember, the pills must be taken from the vase I've already planted flowers in. Don't get them mixed up! 。" She didn't have time to waste with the fellow, so her speech quickened: "What's your name" The fellow answered dazedly, "Anshun" 。"Well, An Shun listen to me, I am Ye Wenyan, the fourth sister of the First Rank General's Mansion. This is Jiang Feng, the Minister of Punishment." 。I, on behalf of myself and my associate, vouch for the truthfulness of every word I have spoken. Furthermore, I take full responsibility for all consequences that may arise from my statements. 。So you don't need to doubt, just follow my instructions. But if someone doubts the efficacy of the medicine like you, don't mind it, just dispense normal medicine according to the clinic's usual procedures. 。" She took two silver bills from the peddler's hand, "Here is five hundred taels of silver. More than you give me back, less I will make up for you, consider this payment for your medicine." 。"Remember, I've already given you the money, so if anyone else comes asking for medicine, you can't accept any more payment, understand"

The shopkeeper looked at the silver note in his hand, then at the pile of medicine bottles before him, feeling a little embarrassed 。"Not enough" She didn't have much concept of the value of silver in this era, thinking five hundred taels was a lot. But judging by the clerk's tone, it seemed insufficient to pay for these pills. 。Ye Fei Zhou couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked forward and took a look at the silver notes in Ji Du's hand, then drew out two more. 。"A total of one thousand taels, take it." 。“If that’s not enough, then have the head clerk of your medical hall come to Lin’an Prefecture.” 。I have to confront him face-to-face and ask him what kind of pills he's selling and why they cost so much. 。" That's enough, that's enough. We don't need this much, about seven or eight hundred taels should be enough." 。I remember the accounts. Even if these pills were sold normally, they would only fetch around 700 to less than 800 pieces each. 。This thousand taels must be too much. I'll find the account records later and show them to Fourth Sister. We'll definitely return any excess. 。He glanced at the main hall, and he was also wearing a face of worry. 。Over there, the house collapsed, ironically it was where the accounts were kept, I wonder if we can still retrieve all the ledgers. 。"Where's the shopkeeper How can he run such a big stall all by himself" "Ye Wenyan went to the medical hall and found a few bundles. He packed all the flower-shaped pills into the bundles, carrying one on his back. " 。The group finally finished replenishing their supplies and started heading towards the outer city. 。Along the way, we passed many mansions. Some were in better condition, some were severely damaged, and some had become ruins altogether. 。Ye Chulian went through all the official residences from beginning to end, but she didn't see the one she wanted. 。She really wanted to inquire about the situation at Chenwang Mansion, but she didn't dare to bring it up, nor could she. 。This trip, she wasn't out for fun, nor was she specifically here to find out how the person she had in her heart was doing. 。She has to help her elder sister save people and help those who are unfortunately crushed out of danger. 。Ye Chu'lian thought, she could also be a useful person. Now that she had seen the Emperor and stood so close to him after the palace banquet, she had even conspired with him on how to... well, how to get compensation from Gu Yue Nation... 。She is no longer the Fifth Miss of the Ye family, living in obscurity. She must live differently from before, only then would she be worthy of that grand palace banquet and worthy of the Emperor's favor. From now on, whenever there is another banquet, he will remember to invite her. 。 A sense of unprecedented mission arose in Ye Chu Lian's heart, coupled with an unprecedented pride and self-confidence. This made her already somewhat fatigued body once again full of strength, her steps became larger, and she pursued Ye Wen Yan even more closely. 。Ye Fei Zhou seemed to notice her change, feeling confused in his heart, yet he felt that this version of Ye Chu Lian was more vibrant and alive. 。This little sister, who had always been overlooked, left a deep impression on him in just a few hours today. 。In the inner city of Lin'an, only nobles resided. Being noble didn't necessarily mean being wealthy, as even the rich couldn't live in the inner city without holding an official position or being related to the imperial family. 。You can build mansions in the outer ring, but the inner city will always be beyond your reach. 。This includes the shops inside the inner city, which were all opened by relatives of officials. Ordinary people would find it very difficult to enter the inner city to do business unless they resorted to some underhanded means. 。While your household may not be as wealthy as the rich, they have influence, and influence can be traded for money. 。And they also care a lot about face, which led to almost every household building their mansions very well. 。Even if it was good, in this field where dragons turned over, it collapsed by half. The remaining half was also shaky and no one dared to live there before it was repaired. 。However, there are exceptions, not exceptions that dare to move in, but the most thorough exceptions of collapse. 。The inner city is indeed filled with affluent households, but among these grand mansions, there is one that stands out for its utter dilapidation: the Dichen Mansion. Its master has been away from the capital for a decade, leaving it to fall into near ruin...didn't take a carriage. Tang shi originally wanted to accompany him, but Ye Wenyan refused. 。Because of the murder case and the bad air, not many people in the whole county were showing their faces....
