Trying to keep a low profile and not attract attention, everyone finally chose to get off the carriage and walk into the city.

But some people are born not ordinary people. No matter how low-key they are, handsome men and pretty women, their temperament, words and deeds cannot be concealed. As soon as Meixiang and others got off the carriage, they immediately attracted the attention of the people waiting in line to enter the city.

Mr. Dou, who had a very sensitive nose, smelled the aroma of herbs the moment he got off the carriage. He followed the smell without looking away and walked straight to an old man in his forties, his eyes fixed on the backpack behind him.

The old man, who had never seen such a posture, moved the backpack quietly in front of him with a puzzled look on his face and hugged it tighter. His grandson was seriously ill and needed to exchange the herbs in the backpack for money to save his life, so there must be no mistakes.

Seeing his father-in-law's defensive face, Mr. Dou laughed out loud. He probably didn't expect that his behavior would offend the old man.

"I'm sorry, old man." Mr. Dou calmed down and apologized solemnly, "I just followed the smell of the medicine and came here. I didn't expect to scare you. Please forgive me for a doctor's inability to resist herbs."

Facing the old man's suspicious look, he had no choice but to continue: "I wonder if you can show me the herbs in your basket. If they are suitable, I can buy them all."

Meixiang stood beside the beautiful woman, waiting in line with Chu Zeming and others to enter the city, while paying attention to Mr. Dou's every move from the corner of his eyes. Since he took him through the back mountain last time, it seemed that a new door of cognition had been opened for him. In the later period, almost all his thoughts were devoted to the study of herbs, even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, and being obsessed with it.

Therefore, the people in Liu Mansion did not think it was strange to do such a thing today. However, the little boy standing next to Mr. Dou with a red face did not think so.

Mr. Dou, who was devoted to medicine, was not afraid of other people's strange looks. However, the young and thin-skinned boy did not have the same composure as him. Especially under the suspicious gazes of many people, his fair face had already turned red with shame, and he was at a loss.

"Please help me explain this to my father-in-law." Seeing that his father-in-law not only refused to believe it, but also unconsciously hugged the backpack in front of him tighter with his hands and took two steps towards the crowd in front, Mr. Dou pulled his child's sleeve more and more anxiously.

Faced with Mr. Dou's urging, the people who were originally queuing quietly became more and more curious about what was happening here, and naturally more and more eyes were cast on Mr. Dou and his servants. The ten-year-old child was so embarrassed that his lips trembled and he could not speak.

Mr. Dou's persistence successfully aroused Meixiang's interest. She smiled and winked at Xiao San.

"My dear father-in-law, don't worry. He is really a doctor. Look, those queuing over there are my wife, daughter and gentlemen. Would you please come with me?" Xiao San walked quickly to the three of them, first gave Mr. Dou a look that urged him to stay calm, then looked at the old man and said softly.

The father-in-law and the people around him followed Xiao San's gaze and looked at Meixiang and her group standing at the end of the team.

The woman in the middle of the crowd was wearing a moon-white skirt, and she was smiling as she nodded and greeted the people who were looking at her. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing next to her was wearing the same color and style of clothes, and she lowered her head and whispered something to the beautiful lady.

One can tell at a glance that the two are mother and daughter. Although the young men standing behind them are dressed modestly, their demeanor shows that they are not ordinary people at a glance.

It is not known whether people who have been at the bottom of society for most of their lives have developed other skills, but they have learned to judge people to some extent. Moreover, it is difficult for people in this industry to conceal it.

The old man figured out the situation quickly, so he had no choice but to accept it. He also glanced at Mr. Dou, who was still staring at his backpack. If he was really a doctor as he said, it would be a great fortune if he could ask him to take a look at his grandson.

Thinking of this, he hugged his backpack tightly, and looked up at the maid who also had a good temperament, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you for leading the way, young lady."

Before the mistress and her father-in-law came up to her, Meixiang smelled a strong herbal aroma. She opened her eyes slightly wide in surprise and looked at Mr. Dou who was walking beside her father-in-law, receiving a proud look back from him.

I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh. No wonder Mr. Dou was so out of control today. He really found something good. Then I fixed my eyes on the old man who was hunched over. He was wearing the black and gray cotton cloth that was common among the local people. It was washed to a white color and the corners of the clothes were frayed. But he was so clean and tidy that he looked like he had just put it on. You couldn't tell at all that he was a man who had walked to the city early in the morning.

It’s really interesting.

"Madam, I've brought the people here." Xiao San reported to Meixiang and her daughter in a calm voice, then stood behind them.

The old man, who had slowed down a little, bowed and saluted as Xiao San spoke: "I greet the Madam and the Miss."

Meixiang collected her wandering thoughts, nodded at him, and said softly, "Father, there is no need to be so polite. It is we who are rude to you."

Seeing him stand up straight, he glanced at the backpack tightly hugged to his chest, then glanced at Mr. Dou who winked at her repeatedly, and then said: "My master is obsessed with medicine. He must have smelled the fragrance of the herbs in your backpack. I wonder if we can have the honor to see your herbs?"

The father-in-law, who had already been shaken, could no longer suppress his emotions after hearing Meixiang's words, and asked excitedly: "Miss, is he really a doctor?"

"It's absolutely genuine," Meixiang added without hesitation, "and his medical skills are pretty good."

"Okay, okay," the old man said three times in a row, put down the backpack in front of his chest, and called to Mr. Dou in a hurry: "Sir, come and see if there is anything you like?"

So it worked? Mr. Dou couldn't believe it. He had tried so hard to persuade his father-in-law but he still refused to give in. Meixiang had gotten it done with just a few words?

But he had no time to think about anything else. As the old man opened the lid of the backpack and the cloth covering the herbs, a scent of herbs hit him in the face, making him involuntarily sniff. What a big and good product, what a pleasant surprise!

Without further ado, Mr. Dou and Mei Xiang had already decided to get these herbs no matter what.

Seeing that Mr. Dou was unusually quiet, the father-in-law couldn't help but get anxious, "Isn't this to your liking?"
