The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 11 The Return of Big Brother (2)

After all, the old lady is old. She woke up earlier this morning and said a few words, but she was not energetic enough. Yang Lan had followed the old lady since she was a child, and she knew her every move very well. She said, "Grandma, you see that my eldest brother has come all the way back home. He must have been sleeping in the open air. Let him rest early."

When the old lady heard Yang Lan's words, she hurriedly said, "Yang Qing, go back and have a rest first. You must stay at home for a few more days this time."

Yang Qing heard the old lady say: "Everything is up to grandma's arrangement." Then, Yang Qing took Yang Qi out of the yard.

Yang Qing saw Yang Qi standing beside him in a daze, reached out and touched Yang Qi's head, and said: "I have heard from mother about your smallpox this time. Fortunately, my third sister is blessed and is healthy now. Big brother is very happy. In the future, you must..."

Before Yang Qing finished speaking, Yang Qi couldn't help but shed tears. He hugged Yang Qing and choked up, "Brother, you are finally back."

Yang Qing was a little surprised when Yang Qi suddenly hugged her, but she felt distressed when she thought about how her third sister had just escaped death.

Jing Shan looked at Yang Qi who suddenly hugged the young master, and she didn't know what was going on. She felt a little jealous and said, "Miss, it's rare for the young master to come back. What are you doing?"

When Yang Qi heard Jing Shan's words, he felt a little embarrassed, let go of her hand, and said to his elder brother: "Brother, I lost my composure. I was just too excited to see you!"

"We are all family," Yang Qing said with a smile, "I am going to pay my respects to my mother now. Yang Qi, do you want to come with me now?"

"Yes, brother, I'll go with you to pay respects to Second Aunt." Yang Qi replied to his brother with a smile.

"I found a lot of good things for you along the way when I came back this time. I'll let Song Wei send them to you later." The eldest brother said to Yang Qi. The third sister's aunt died when she was just born, causing her to grow up alone in Linhu Courtyard since she was a child. It was inevitable that she was lonely. The new and strange gadgets collected were something the third sister had never seen before, but they could make her happy.

"Thank you, big brother!" When I was little, my big brother and fourth brother would bring me a lot of novel toys and snacks every time they came back from outside. But now I want books and calligraphy more: "Big brother, I'm starting to practice calligraphy now. Do you have any calligraphy recommendations?"

"Yangqi has started learning calligraphy, which is a great thing. What kind of font do you want to learn?" The third sister, who had never liked studying, started to study diligently.

"Brother, I'm not very clear about the various fonts, so I don't know which one I want." Yang Qi shook his head and said to his brother.

"How about this, I'm going to Jishi Bookstore in a few days, and you can come with me and pick some books yourself." Kongyang Academy has very few holidays, and it is rare to go to Jishi Bookstore. This time, Yang Qing came back with the idea of ​​going to the bookstore to pick books, and said to Yang Qi. Jishi Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Beijing, whether it is astronomy, geography, or ancient medical books, you can buy them here.

Since ancient times, a country's capital has always been the place where the most literati and poets gather. It is conceivable that opening a bookstore here will be profitable. Jishi Bookstore has been able to maintain its position as the top bookstore in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Presumably, the boss behind it must have some power.

Hearing Yang Qing's words, Yang Qi's eyes lit up immediately. If he could choose by himself, that would mean he could also choose a few medical books. He hurriedly said, "Okay, thank you, big brother."

If his eldest brother were to take him out, neither his father nor the old lady would object. Thinking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but look forward to leaving the house in the future.

Yang Qing brought Yang Qi to Shi'an Courtyard. At Second Aunt's place, Yang Qi heard something, that is, in five days, Second Aunt's mother's family, General Xu's Mansion, would hold a banquet in the mansion.

At this point, Xu smiled at Yang Qi and said, "Yang Qi will go this time too. I'll make you some new clothes so you can look beautiful at the banquet."

Yang Qi was a little shy and lowered her head and said, "Second aunt, please don't tease Yang Qi." The Xu family had a banquet, and the people they wanted to see were their daughter Xu and grandson Yang Qing. She couldn't steal the show in such an occasion.

Second Aunt moved quickly, and in the afternoon a maid brought fabrics for Yang Qi to choose and measure. Yang Qi picked a light green fabric, which was neither too fancy nor too rude.

The young ladies of the Duke of Song's mansion would buy six sets of new clothes every quarter. Of course, Yang Lan had the old lady's subsidy, and if she had money, she could also buy new clothes herself. This time, she was wearing extra clothes for the banquet. In the capital, there was a default rule that if the family had the conditions, the lady and the young lady could not wear the same clothes every time they attended a banquet.

After a while, Shi Wei, the first-class maid beside the second aunt, came over with a string of eight-treasure gold necklaces. During this period, Xu had asked Shi Wei to send many things over, and this time the beads were used by Xu to make Yang Qi look good at the banquet. In order to manage and protect her family, Gu had used up all her money, and Yang Qi had nothing except the jewelry given to each young lady by the public.

Mother He took the gold necklace with eight-treasure beads from Shi Wei and followed Yang Qi into the house. Yang Qi touched the necklace, which was exquisitely crafted and worth at least five or six hundred taels of silver. In addition to being grateful to her second aunt, she was also thinking about ways to make money. In the days ahead, there would be too many places where money would be needed.

Looking at the silver in front of him, Yang Qi thought of one person, that is Zong Yue. When thinking of Zong Yue, Yang Qi couldn't help but clench his fists.

His grandfather, the imperial physician Gu, had a disciple who was implicated by his grandfather and thrown into prison. At that time, the disciple already had an apprentice who was a skilled doctor and became famous in the capital after Yang Qi got married. Previously, the Han family had invited this doctor to see patients, and it was at that time that Zong Yue took the initiative to tell Yang Qi about the inheritance of his medical skills and expressed his loyalty.

When my grandfather met with a sudden disaster, all his disciples were punished, but fortunately Zong Yue was not implicated. My grandfather left him a 18-year-old ginseng in case Zong Yue had nowhere to go. Zong Yue was only years old at the time, and no clinic was willing to take him in and believe in his medical skills. With nowhere else to go, Zong Yue could only pawn his ginseng, but the pawnshop owner was a black-hearted man. Seeing that Zong Yue was in urgent need of money, he pushed the price down to a very low level, insisted that the ginseng was fake, and persuaded other shops not to accept Zong Yue's ginseng. Zong Yue could only pawn the -year-old ginseng for thirty taels of silver as capital for purchasing medicine.

When Zong Yue said this, Yang Qi hated the behavior of this pawnshop in his heart and remembered the name "Fuyin Pawnshop".

In this life, I must find Zong Yue as soon as possible. Finding Zong Yue is the first step to fulfill my last wish in my previous life. Secondly, if I open my own shop, I will definitely be able to make a profit with Zong Yue's medical skills, and I will have something to rely on for my future survival. Calculating the time, these few days are the time when Zong Yue sells medicine!
