43. Chapter 43 Selling Yourself to Bury Your Father 1
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight, and I slept peacefully in the largest inn in Jinling City.
Brother Ninth said that he had worked hard all night in vain, and only an urn of ashes was placed in Mr. Xu's coffin. Not to mention bitter leaf asarum, the old man didn't even keep his own body.
It seems that I am too deep-minded and think too much. The Xu family does not have such deep thoughts as me.
This time, we can only start with the person who believes in it.
Brother Ninth scratched his head and was puzzled: "Why don't we go directly to the young master of the Xu family and ask him?"
When I first heard this, I was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Senior Brother, who has always been careless, would have such profound insights this time.
Senior Brother Fifth, Senior Brother Xiaobai, I, and I would never have thought of such wise and ingenious people.
Therefore, the four of us, brothers and sisters, discussed it carefully and decided——
I directly submitted my invitation and visited the Xu family.
It's just that it's a big problem to choose whose name to vote for -
Fifth Senior Brother is known as a miracle doctor. If anyone knew that Chang Mu had come to Jinling City, we would not be able to leave the gates of Jinling City within a year and a half.
Although I am a young lady from the Zhongyong family, I am still a woman, and it should not be the behavior of a lady to pay a visit to someone famous.
As for Senior Brother Xiaobai, I have never heard of any big family in the dynasty with the surname Bai. Therefore, I privately speculated that Senior Brother Xiaobai must have been from a humble background. By chance, he became a disciple of Wuliang layman of Taixi Mountain.
Only then did he change his fate of poverty all his life...
The only ones left are the Ninth Senior Brother. The Ninth Senior Brother’s surname is Zhao and his last name is Yue...
It seems that I have never heard of this Zhao Yue...
"Xiao Jiu'er, you will vote for your name tomorrow, and we will visit the young master of the Xu family." Fifth senior brother Xue Changmu concluded his speech.
This time, I learned that the ninth disciple of Taixi Mountain Wuliang layman, whose surname is Zhao, given name is Yue, and given name is Anren, is the Marquis of Jingyuan who was beaten by the third prince Xue E that year and was left lying in bed for more than a month.
The crown prince——Zhao Anren.
Therefore, I pretend to be a man, which makes many things much easier.
I thought, I won't do serious things until tomorrow, and I have a lot of free time today. As a young lady, my life experience is very thin, so I need to take advantage of this moment to enrich it.
Therefore, in the afternoon, I secretly grabbed Brother Ninth and wanted him to accompany me and go to the Qinhuai River, which is ten miles away, to have a long experience.
When Brother Ninth heard this, he patted my shoulder happily and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the two of us were about to step out of the door of the inn, and Senior Brother Five and Brother Xiaobai followed us out.
The trip to the Qinhuai River came to an end immediately, and Ninth Senior Brother and I were very disappointed.
However, Xu was very pitiful when he saw the dejected look on our faces. This time, the fifth senior brother showed great kindness and said: "Xiaobai and I are going to the pharmacy in the West Market to prepare some medicinal materials. You two have been bored these days, so you can just...
Let’s go have some fun together!”
I thought that although I couldn't see the Chu Pavilion, Qin Tower, Liu Street and Flowers on the banks of the Qinhuai River this time, I could still reminisce while strolling through the streets of Jinling City, so I happily went out with my fellow seniors.
As soon as I arrived at the West Market, the Fifth Senior Brother told the Ninth Senior Brother to look at me carefully, and then went to the pharmacy with Senior Brother Xiaobai to fill the prescription.
Jinling is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The streets are bustling with activity. There are candy blowers, machete sellers, people selling powerful pills, and people crushing rocks on their chests. It is really a dazzling array of things. It is an eye-opener for a young lady like me who has never seen much of the world.
Oops, why are there even those who sold their bodies to bury their fathers?
I quickly pulled away a young boy with a runny nose and squeezed through.
