The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

During this period, He's mother has adapted to Yang Qi's habit of thinking without talking. The young lady has survived a near-death experience this time, and she has become much more mature. As Yang Qi's closest person, He's mother is the most touched by Yang Qi's changes, but she is happy to see Yang Qi's changes. If she wants to survive well in the Duke of Song's mansion, she should think more.

"Da... Da..." Yang Qi tapped the table slowly with his hand. Tapping the table slowly when thinking about something has become a habit of Yang Qi.

"Mother He, I remember you have a brother in Beijing, right?" Yang Qi asked Mother He in a deliberately low voice.

Mother He looked at Yang Qi and asked in a deliberately low voice, then bent down and whispered in Yang Qi's ear: "Miss, I do have a brother, but he is not in the capital."

Yang Qi nodded and said to He Mama, "He Mama, you will leave the house this afternoon, using my brother's illness as an excuse. During this period of time, you will wait at the door of Fuyin Pawn Shop, waiting for a man who will come to pawn a 18-year-old ginseng, about years old, named Zong Yue. If you see him, stop him and give him this gold bracelet and twenty taels of silver." As Yang Qi spoke, he took off the gold bracelet on his hand.

"Also, Mama He, you can pay three taels of silver as expenses for these days." Yang Qi placed the gold bracelet on Mama He's hand, then shook Mama He's hand and said, "Mama He, this matter is very important."

Mother He looked at Yang Qi's serious expression and knew the seriousness of the matter. She clenched the gold bracelet in her hand and said, "Miss, I will definitely get the job done. As for my money, you don't need it. Miss, you only have 25 taels of savings now."

Yang Qi shook her head and said, "Mother He, we don't know the exact time when Zong Yue will sell the medicine yet, so you will have to stay outside for the next few days. Which of these accommodation and food is not an expense? Since you are doing things for me, you should take the money you deserve, otherwise the rules will become meaningless."

Mother He whispered, "Okay, Miss, I'll leave the house now."

Mama He packed a few clothes, took more than 20 taels of silver and a gold bracelet and left the house. Yang Qi only told Mama Fan and the people in the courtyard that Mama He's brother had a sudden illness, and he had given Mama He leave to visit him.

Ever since Mother He left the house, Yang Qi had been feeling uneasy and had been thinking about this matter all the time. In order to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, except for going to the upper house and Shi'an Courtyard to pay respects, Yang Qi either stayed in the house reading or doing needlework facing the Houhu Lake.

Although Mother He, who went out of the house to look for someone, did not know the purpose of Yang Qi's doing this, she knew that this matter was not a small matter when she saw how serious the young lady was. In order to prevent people from the house from following her, Mother He pretended to go out of the city, changed her clothes, and went back to the capital after a detour.

In the capital, the most occupied area was occupied by the imperial guards stationed in Beijing, the nobles, the wealthy merchants, and tens of thousands of small and medium-sized merchants, small handicraftsmen, vendors, coolies, slaves, singing and storytelling artists, etc. The structure of the capital was in the shape of a concentric ring belt, that is, from the inside to the outside, they were: the imperial city, the inner city, the outer city and the suburbs. The imperial city and the inner city were the central belt of the capital, and the Duke of Song's mansion was located in the inner city. The connecting belt between the outer city and the suburbs had a special name: Caoshi Market Town. The Fuyin Pawnshop that He Mama was looking for was located in Caoshi, the capital.

The Caoshi was very chaotic and messy. When Mother He found the Fuyin Pawnshop, she was a little nervous. The young lady only said to keep watch in front of the Fuyin Pawnshop. Now she didn't know where was a good place to go. She couldn't stand at the door of the pawnshop all the time. It would be bad if the people inside noticed something was wrong or remembered her.

Mother He did not go into the pawnshop, but walked around the market. Fuyin Pawnshop was located at the intersection of three streets. There were several stores facing the pawnshop in the market. Mother He thought about it and found one of them to stay in, specifically asking for a room facing the street.

Mother He felt a little uneasy as she carried the gold bracelet and more than twenty taels of silver given by the young lady. She could only stare at the pawnshop across the room.

Every person who came to the pawn shop to pawn items had their items packed in boxes or wrapped in cloth, so the specific items could not be seen, but fortunately the lady was looking for a man around 18 years old, so she could identify him by his age.

Zong Yue did not show up until dark. The capital has strict regulations on the closing time of shops. When she saw Fuyin Pawnshop closed, He Mama looked away. The next day, at dawn, people in Caoshi started their day's work. There was a lot of noise, and He Mama stood guard at the window like yesterday.

Suddenly, Mother He saw a man in a long blue gown, which was a little white from washing, but very clean, holding a cloth package in his hand. Mother He felt vaguely that this man was the Zong Yue that the young lady asked her to find.

As expected, the man in a blue coat walked into the Fuyin Pawnshop. Mother He was already 7,8% sure and ran downstairs. After a while, the man walked out of the pawnshop angrily, and the servant who followed him said with a little contempt: "Zong Yue, you have to think it over. If you come tomorrow, the price will not be the same."

When Mother He heard the servant's words, she immediately confirmed Zong Yue's identity and hurriedly jogged to catch up. However, Zong Yue walked faster and faster, squeezing into the crowd. Mother He was afraid of losing him, so she just started to jog.

When Mother He caught up with Zong Yue, she blocked his way with her body, bowed, and said, "Don't blame me, my wife wants to buy the ginseng you have. If it's convenient, please come to the side and talk to her."

Zong Yue had already noticed someone following him, but he was very shocked by He Mama's intention. How did this person know that I had ginseng in my hand? I had protected the ginseng given by my master very well, and this was the first time I showed it to others. Zong Yue had some doubts in his heart, but looking at He Mama's age, he thought that even if she tricked him, he could still escape, and the pawnshop was too shady, offering only 30 taels of silver. Thinking of this, Zong Yue nodded to He Mama.

Then, Zong Yue brought He Mama to a secluded place, and He Mama said to Zong Yue: "I was a little abrupt on the road just now. It was my young lady who asked me to come find you. My young lady's name is Song Yangqi, and she is the most beloved granddaughter of Imperial Doctor Gu. My young lady knows that you are having a hard time in life now, so she asked me to give you some silver." As she spoke, He Mama took out twenty taels of silver and a gold bracelet from her arms.

Mother He went on to say, "Miss, you don't have much money on hand right now, so you must keep this gold bracelet well. You can melt it to pay back the money when it is of great use to you in the future." Mother He spoke to Zong Yue word by word as Yang Qi had taught her.

Zong Yue was very excited when he heard what He's mother said. It had been 4 years, and he finally heard the name of his master. At that time, his village suddenly had a serious disease. It was the master who passed by the village while traveling. He saved the lives of his whole family despite the spread of the disease. Since then, he has made up his mind to follow the master, but the master had decided to close the mountain and no longer teach disciples. However, seeing his determination, he worshipped the third disciple of the master as his master under the matchmaking of the master.

When I became his disciple, I was in the village, and most of the people in the village died of serious diseases. When I was in the capital, my master inherited the temperament of my master and traveled around to treat people. Therefore, when my master got into trouble, people in the capital did not know my identity, so I escaped.
