Zhao Jincheng took out the clothes and shoes that the yamen runner had just given him and handed them to the young man.

"This is for you."

An expression of surprise appeared on the young man's face, his mouth opened wide. He took the clothes and shoes with some disbelief. He looked up at Zhao Jincheng again, and saw Doctor Zhao nodded slightly, his mouth opened even wider.

Staring down at the new clothes, the touch and weight in his hands reminded him that this was not a dream.

I didn't expect to have a new set of clothes. I haven't worn such nice clothes for a long time. I just shook them off and there was not even a patch on them.

Ever since his parents passed away, no one had mended his clothes for him, let alone new ones. The clothes he wore were all picked up from others and were torn to begin with, so he could only wear them with difficulty. He picked up a pair of shoes, compared the size with his hands, and found that they fit perfectly.

His eyes were filled with tears and he wiped his face vigorously with an old piece of clothing to wipe away the tears.

"Doctor Zhao, how do you know the size of my feet?"

Zhao Jincheng looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly saw that she was as happy as when he was making clothes for Ni'er in the shop.

"I don't know, actually. It's calculated based on your height. If the size doesn't fit, you can change it."

The young man held a pair of shoes tightly in his arms, as if they were rare treasures.

"It's appropriate. Nothing could be more suitable than this. Thank you, Doctor Zhao."

Zhao Jincheng glanced down at Ni'er and said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my little apprentice. Although she is small, she is very attentive. If she hadn't asked for a set of clothes for you, you wouldn't have them now."

When Nier saw the young man about to bow to her, she quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Don't thank me, you deserve it. You helped me so much, and I should thank you on behalf of these patients."

Ni'er bowed, imitating the young man's behavior just now.

"Thank you for letting them take the medicine in time, so that the medicine will be more effective. If their illness is cured, you have made great efforts."

The young man didn't dare to accept the greeting and just followed Ni'er to bow down.

"Don't worship me."

Nier straightened up and said, "If you say you don't want to worship, then don't do it. Go and change into new clothes and show them to us."

The young man pinched the corner of his clothes, a little hesitant. The clothes were too new and he was reluctant to wear them, so he wanted to keep them for two more days.

"I still have work to do. It's better to wear the old ones so as not to dirty the new ones."

Nier understood his thoughts very well. She was so happy to get a new set of clothes at that time that she had to hold them in her arms even when she slept and was reluctant to wear them. She started to smile foolishly when she saw the clothes, but he really had to change.

"Your clothes are all wet. You'll get sick easily if you wear them. Don't be greedy and lose the big picture. Don't get sick if you can. Your sweetheart is still waiting for you to take care of her."

At this point, Nier glanced at the man and was convinced by her. He stroked the new clothes, and although there was still some reluctance in his eyes, the resistance was gone. As long as his sweetheart was mentioned, he would agree.

"Besides, she will feel better when she sees you wearing new clothes, and her condition will naturally improve. Your old clothes are so dirty and you haven't washed them yet, aren't you afraid that they will suffocate her?"

The man had a hint of gratitude in his eyes. What he said was indeed very reasonable. He also considered the person he liked. As long as she looked happy, why would he be reluctant to change clothes? "I'll go change right away."

Ni'er looked at his back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "That's right."

The bailiff put down some of the straw they had brought from the cart, which was just enough for Ni'er and the others to use as a stove.

The medicine has now been loaded onto the cart, which is being pushed by one person and supported by several others. There is also some straw underneath to reduce some of the bumps. Such precious medicine cannot be allowed to spill.

Nier shouted to the bailiffs, "Slow down."

Several yamen runners turned their backs and waved.

Looking at the straw and a basket of yellow mud, Nier rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get to work.

Zhao Jincheng looked down and said, "Don't do it. The rain has stopped now. Let those people who are helping come back and do it."

He bent down and took down Nier's rolled up sleeves, then gently stretched them to smooth out the wrinkles.

"You are still a child, don't do heavy work. You just boiled the medicine in the rain. It's understandable that you asked them to rest and said they didn't know how to boil the medicine."

"You have no experience in making a stove now, but they have at least seen it before. Don't do it. You need to learn how to order people around. Don't do everything yourself, or you will be very tired."

"Let them do their work appropriately. You can just be a supervisor. They have to listen to you anyway. Just tell them what they need to do."

"Now is a good opportunity. Learn how to make them listen to you. It's best if they are willing to do it, but it's also OK if they are unwilling as long as you get things done. As for those who are cunning and don't do their job, you should find a way out on your own."

Nier felt that what the master said made sense. If she worked like this every day, she would be exhausted sooner or later. Why should she make herself work so hard? They were paid, so how could she let them just take the money and not work? This was indeed a good opportunity to train herself. She nodded slightly, "Yes, Master."

The rain stopped and people came back one after another. Ni'er immediately noticed that someone had a sullen face and was walking towards this side reluctantly.

There was no one else besides him. He tugged at the corner of Zhao Jincheng's clothes, asked him to bend down, covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered, "Master, that man just made a bet with me..."

After listening to Ni'er's words, Zhao Jincheng straightened up and looked at her coldly.

The man felt a chill, but it only lasted for a moment and he didn't take it too seriously.

He was thinking about his twenty taels of silver and wondering if he could get it today. It was said that Niu Xiaoni's master was rich, so he should not be short of a few cents.

Looking forward, he saw the Doctor Zhao he had been thinking about. He changed his slouched posture, straightened up, and quickened his pace. He was originally at the end of the crowd, but suddenly rushed to the front.

Zhao Jincheng looked at the person in front of him and felt more and more disgusted. This was the man he had just made a bet with Ni'er and who bullied his little apprentice. He had shifty eyes and didn't look like a good person. Those yamen runners really knew all kinds of people.

But it’s good to have someone like this. The little apprentice can learn more about this and won’t suffer any loss when he encounters such a person in the future.

The man's pinched, slightly excited voice came from my ear, which was like a needle piercing my ear, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. However, I still had to listen to him speak and frowned unconsciously.
