Report to the Marquis! The Madam went to the military camp to flirt with men again

"Wait!" Shopkeeper Xu didn't expect her to stick to her word and not even give her the chance to bargain, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Miss, fifteen taels, how about that?"

Lin Zhuwei lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again, his eyes filled with determination that could not be refuted: "Twenty-five taels, and I'll give it to you along with all the herbs I have here."

Shopkeeper Xu hesitated for a moment, as he was not in short supply of other herbs.

But the girl had made it clear that she would not sell them individually. If he hesitated any longer, he would never be able to buy such a fine white jade beauty bone.

After figuring this out, Shopkeeper Xu paid the money readily.

"Girl, to be honest with you, if your white jade beauty bone didn't lack this leaf, the price would be much higher."

"Yeah." Lin Zhuwei put the silver in his pocket and was about to leave.

Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, did you pick these leaves?"

Lin Zhuwei curled her lips and raised her arm to show him the clear snake mark: "I was bitten by a poisonous snake. I took it as an antidote."

Shopkeeper Xu was shocked: "Did you pick these herbs?"

Lin Zhuwei nodded.

Shopkeeper Xu was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He couldn't help but re-examine the girl in front of him. He intuitively felt that she was calm, composed and tenacious.

This girl cannot be underestimated in the future!

Shopkeeper Xu's tone was full of respect: "Miss, if you still have herbs to sell in the future, feel free to bring them to Miao Ren Tang. As long as they are of good quality, I guarantee that the price will be higher than outside."

"Okay." Lin Zhuwei didn't say much, he carried the bamboo basket and left.

After she walked out of the door, she first turned into the ink shop next door and bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and then went to the cloth shop to buy two pieces of cloth.

One style for men and one for women.

Then, she went to the rice shop and the vegetable market to buy some daily necessities.

Most of them are flour and the like, which are cheap, can be used to preserve fruits, and can be preserved for a long time, killing two birds with one stone.

After purchasing these things, seeing that it was still early, she walked around to familiarize herself with the place.

After walking around for about two hours, Lin Zhuwei decided to go back first.

When she went out, there was little food left, and she didn't know whether Master Jia had found anything to eat. It would be better for her to go back first.

When they returned to the agreed place, Aunt Xiao had just sold her last bunch of vegetables. Seeing her coming, she quickly packed up and went back with her.

"Auntie Xiao, can you sew clothes?"

"Yes. But I can only do the common styles. I can't do the complicated ones."

"That's no problem." Lin Zhuwei handed her two pieces of cloth. "Then please help me cut two sets of clothes, Aunt Xiao. Forty cents for the wages, is that enough?"

"No, no!" Aunt Xiao refused again and again, "I am so grateful to you for treating my son. How can I charge you for it?"

"Let's put it this way." Lin Zhuwei insisted, "I'm seeing a doctor, you taught me how to cook, and you also provided me with food and lodging, which is enough to cover the medical expenses. I'm going to go down the mountain in the future, so I'll inevitably need to stay overnight. Do you think this is feasible?"

When Aunt Xiao heard that she said this, she no longer refused. She was very happy to have some unexpected income, which was not a small amount.

She nodded quickly: "If you don't mind, Aunt Xiao welcomes you anytime. I'll help you measure your size first."

Madam Xiao carefully measured the size for her and wrote it down before asking, "How big do you want this men's cloth to be cut?"

"Have you met Master Jia from Yizhuang?"

"Yes, I have."

Aunt Xiao nodded. There was only one charity cemetery within a ten-mile radius, and occasionally she would see Old Man Jia coming down the mountain to pick up corpses.

Old Man Jia was a solitary and taciturn person. Although they had never spoken to each other, she had seen him from afar and could guess his size.

"Then please make a suit for Master Jia."

Aunt Xiao nodded in response, but her admiration for Lin Zhuwei grew even higher in her heart.

This girl is really a person who values ​​friendship and knows how to repay kindness. It was worth it that old man Jia saved her life.

Lin Zhuwei took out the flour from the bamboo basket and said, "Auntie Xiao, could you please help me make some flatbreads and steamed buns?"

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Aunt Xiao said, and started to get busy.

By the time Aunt Xiao finished her work, it was almost time for dinner.

Lin Zhuwei left some bread for the mother and daughter, and told them that she would come back to change her son's medicine in three days. Then she went back amid Aunt Xiao's numerous thanks.

"Master Jia!"

When Lin Zhuwei returned to the charity cemetery, he found that Old Man Jia was dragging the corpse onto a wooden cart, preparing to take it away for burial.

She quickly put down what she was holding and ran over to help him.

Old man Jia said fiercely: "Get away quickly, why are you, a girl, touching these dirty things!"

Lin Zhuwei stepped aside awkwardly.

After finishing his work, Old Man Jia suddenly took out a beautiful bag from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Lin Zhuwei.

She quickly took it and opened it. A fresh fragrance wafted into her nose. She put her nose close to it and sniffed it. She instantly felt refreshed, and the stench of the corpse was actually covered up by it.

When Old Man Jia came back after finishing his work, Lin Zhuwei came up to him with a smile and handed him the things in his hand.

Old man Jia took it and smelled the aroma of wine, which aroused the appetite in his stomach.

He looked at her with some surprise, then walked into the room with the wine jug. When he came out again, he reeked of alcohol and looked satisfied.

"Master Jia, do you like Li Bai Niang?" Lin Zhuwei said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of wine you like to drink. Next time I go to town, I will bring it back for you."

"Did you go to the back mountain?" Old Man Jia stared at her.

Lin Zhuwei bit into a pancake, handed a piece to him, and nodded: "There are some rare and precious herbs growing in the back mountain. I'll pick some and sell them in town for some silver."

Old Man Jia looked at her with a complicated expression and handed her a small bottle: "You have a beautiful face, why are you messing around with it?"

Lin Zhuwei smiled lightly, opened the bottle and took a sniff: "This Hibiscus Scar Removal Cream is a good thing."

She wiped it on her face, and it felt delicate and refreshing. She couldn't help but wonder, "Master Jia, besides white aconite, angelica dahurica, asarum and chuanxiong, it seems that there are some other things in it. What did you put in it?"

Old man Jia snorted, stood up and went back to the charity cemetery.

Lin Zhuwei shook her head helplessly. She just felt that this old man seemed to be extraordinary. He not only knew martial arts, but also pharmacology, but he chose to stay in this remote place to guard the corpse.

What a weird old man.

After dinner, Lin Zhuwei spread out paper and drew and revised in the candlelight. When he was done, he washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Lin Zhuwei had breakfast, carried a bamboo basket and went out.

"Master Jia, I'm going up the mountain. I've heated up the noodles and steamed buns in the pot." Lin Zhuwei shouted to the old man Jia's back, "Eat first, I'll cook for you when you come back in the evening."

I don’t know if he heard it or not. Anyway, Lin Zhuwei was used to his lack of response, so she went out on her own.

This trip up the mountain brought some unexpected surprises.

Last time she made a simple trap and caught a pheasant.

Lin Zhuwei was very happy. After all, free meat tasted delicious.

She strangled the pheasant, threw it into the bamboo basket, and continued picking wild herbs.

This time we were still only on the outskirts of the mountain and did not go deep into the mountains.

After dark, she went down the mountain and made chicken soup herself.

It was obvious that Old Man Jia was quite satisfied. He drank two full bowls of rice, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and went on with his business.

It rained the next day and the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk on, so Lin Zhuwei simply stayed in the charity cemetery to rest.

The next day, after the rain stopped, Lin Zhuwei carried the bamboo basket, said goodbye to Old Man Jia, and prepared to go out.

"Wait a moment." Old man Jia rarely spoke and called her.

"Master Jia, what's the matter?"

Old Man Jia handed her a small bamboo jar and said, "Take this and sell it."

Lin Zhuwei opened it with confusion and was completely stunned.

"Crape Star Grass!"

"Ah."

"Master Jia, this is the Crape Myrtle Star Grass! It's alive!" Lin Zhuwei was very excited and repeated it again.

The dark purple star-shaped herb is extremely rare in the Central Plains.

Crape myrtle and star grass can dispel cold, relieve pain, restore yang and rescue from adverse conditions, and have a miraculous effect on detoxification and pus discharge.

Old man Jia sneered at her fuss, snorted through his nose, and turned away.

Lin Zhuwei, with a smile on his face, carefully protected the small bamboo jar and went down the mountain.

She did not stop on the way and went straight to Aunt Xiao's house. She took a look at her son's legs. The swelling had completely subsided and the wounds had completely scabbed over, so she could start straightening the bones.

"Bear with it for a while, it will hurt." Lin Zhuwei said lightly.
