The servant who led the way smiled and said: "pharmacy? The princess is asking about the medical clinic, right? Our medical clinics in Runan City are basically on another street. Does the princess want to buy medicine at the medical clinic or see a doctor? If it is to see a doctor, the younger one can
Doctor, please go to the mansion."
Li Chengmu and the two maids looked at her worriedly. Xia Jing smiled and shook her head: "I neither see a doctor nor buy medicine. I just go shopping. Besides, we have several government doctors in the team for medical treatment, so there is no shortage of them."
Doctor."
That's right. Li Chengmu and the two maids felt relieved. What they were most afraid of was that Xia Jing would not tell them if she felt uncomfortable.
Even though it was just for shopping, Xia Jing still bought a lot of pills. These pills are considered to be the finished medicines in this world. If you have a headache or fever on the way, these pills do not need to be boiled, which is very convenient. They are a must-have medicine for home travel.
The most important thing is that Xia Jing bought a set of silver needles from a medical clinic. The quality is definitely not comparable to that of later generations, but compared to the craftsmanship of this era, the workmanship is already very exquisite.
"Concubine, do you really want to learn medicine?" After leaving the hospital, Li Chengmu raised the silver needle bag in his hand in disbelief, "You don't think you can learn it by yourself after reading a few medical books, do you?
?”
Don't think so, it's a terrible thought.
Studying medicine is no different from anything else. Saving lives and healing the wounded is no joke. If the treatment is not cured properly, someone may die.
Besides, at this age, what can the concubine do?
When studying medicine, first of all, her age is a disadvantage!
"You brat, stop looking down on me!" Xia Jing raised her hand and hit him on the forehead.
Li Chengmu wanted to hide but couldn't. He covered his forehead and wondered why his speed had become so slow that he couldn't even avoid his mother's screams.
Seeing the fifth master holding his forehead in a daze, Hongmei covered her mouth and snickered, "Princess, where are we going now?"
"Let's take a stroll." Xia Jing turned around and asked the servant who was leading the way, "What kind of specialties do you have in Runan?"
The servant didn't understand the meaning of these two words for a moment, "Specialty?"
“It’s a local specialty product.”
"This" the servant scratched his head, "Characteristics, what are the characteristics of Runan?" "Princess, does food count?"
Xia Jing laughed: "Forget it!"
The food is good!
What their team lacks most now is food.
"Princess, do you want to buy food?" Hongmei asked.
Xia Jing shook her head: "With such an important material as food, why do I need to take action? Zeng Yan should have arranged for someone to handle it early in the morning."
Having said that, Xia Jing turned in when she passed by the food store.
The servant is right, Runan grain is a specialty, and there are many types of coarse grains in the grain shop.
"What? Do you still buy limited amounts of food here?" Bai Mei exclaimed, darling, this was the first time since she was a child that she had heard people say that there was a limited amount of food to buy.
The world is so big and full of wonders!
The store owner nodded, "Yes, the limit only applies to coarse and refined grains, and does not include miscellaneous grains that cannot fill your stomach."
"What's the meaning?"
The store owner's words confused everyone for a moment.
The store owner explained to everyone with a smile, "Everyday, the food that everyone cooks to fill their stomachs is limited, such as millet, millet, wheat, bean, hemp and other grains. Our store only has sesame seeds and several types of bean for snacks."
Xia Jing looked at the various types of grains displayed in the store and guessed that the grains the store was talking about were yellow rice, wheat, soybeans and two types of grains that she had never seen before, because only these five were placed in the most conspicuous places.
The other categories he mentioned are placed further back.
"When did you implement this rule?"
Xia Jing suddenly spoke, and everyone else's attention was attracted by her.
Li Chengmu turned to look at the store, "Yes, it wasn't implemented some time ago, so why are there purchase restrictions today?"
"this--"
The store owner looked confused and hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
Xia Jing did not embarrass him. She pointed at the Sesame that had no purchase limit and said: "There is no purchase limit like this. I will buy as much as you want in your store."
"Bought them all?!" The store owner plucked his ears and thought he heard wrongly.
"Yes, hurry up." Hongmei urged. Although she didn't know the princess's intentions, since the princess had already spoken, let's buy it.
The store owner confirmed in disbelief, "I have about ten shi of sesame seeds in the warehouse behind me. Did you buy them all?"
Hongmei put her hand in her sleeve pocket to hold the banknote and paused, then turned to look at Xia Jing.
Xia Jing nodded calmly, "Give it all to us."
After paying the check, Sesame was inconvenient to carry, so the store sent it to the other courtyard where they were staying temporarily.
After leaving the food store, Hongmei couldn't help but ask her doubts, "Princess, sesame cannot be used as a staple food. Are you buying so much to grind the sauce for the guards?"
It is not easy to grind ten stones of sesame seeds into sesame paste.
"I have my own uses." Xia Jing didn't want to say what she would use it for.
Then a few people visited the cloth shop and the mule and horse shop.
In another courtyard.
Zeng Yan stood at the back door and stared at the five low-grade horses brought by the waiter, "What big thing does the princess want to do? She quietly bought a carriage and coarse cloth and grain?"
She also specifically stated that this was her private property.
This means that he should not be mixed up with the goods in the house.
The boy next to him guessed, "The princess doesn't know how to use these cheap things. Did she buy them to give away?"
Zeng Yan waved his hand and said with a frown: "The carriage will rush in first, and the coarse cloth and grain will be collected into the warehouse first."
He guessed that the carriage was used to transport the coarse cloth and grain.
In the evening, Xia Jing finished her dinner early, took a walk to eat, and found Zeng Yan along the way. "Steward Yan, before setting off tomorrow, could you please arrange for someone to load the supplies I bought today into the car."
Zeng Yan was stunned for a moment and responded, "Okay."
Everyone thought they would leave the next day, but King Qian stayed in Runan County for three days to socialize.
Three days.
In addition to drinking and singing, there are also singing and dancing to add to the fun.
The extravagant sound and the scent of rouge made the entire front yard immersed in a luxurious atmosphere!
The Runan County Magistrate always seemed to have a way to satisfy King Qian, who had grown up in luxury, and even found it so novel that he forgot about rushing to Lingnan.
On the fourth day, Mr. Zhang, who had always been unfazed by the humiliation, could no longer sit still and went to the backyard.
"Princess, Mr. Zhang wants to see you."
Hongmei walked lightly to the couch. Xia Jing, who had closed her eyes to rest, opened her eyes slightly. When she spoke, her voice still had the hoarse tone of when she just woke up, "If he doesn't enjoy himself in the front yard, why did he come to my place?"
She really didn't want to get up at the moment. During her stay in Runan these days, except for going shopping on the first day, she basically stayed in her yard for the rest of the time, practicing her mental strength.
After several days of hard work, my mental strength has improved and my space has become larger.
But she was tired and wanted to take a nap.
Hongmei stepped forward to help Xia Jing sit up and said softly: "Maybe I have something to do with you."
"He is a staff member in the front yard and has nothing to do with the back yard. What can he do to me?"
As soon as Hongmei heard the tone of her voice, she knew that she was angry when she got up.
She asked tentatively: "Is that slave going to reject him?"
Xia Jing rubbed her eyes and said lazily, "Let him wait first and help me get up and wash up."
