Chapter 169 Encounter on the street
Xie Yulan covered her mouth and giggled.
Even if she became a female doctor after learning, she was not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of a Tongpan.
Without mentioning Wang Wenguiren, how could she not be tempted to become a young lady in a wealthy family like Tongpan Mansion? Why would she study medicine so hard when she had the chance to become a phoenix?
Xie Yulan wanted to marry Jian Yue right away. She didn't want to chat with Xie Chujiao anymore, so she stood up and said goodbye.
Xie Chujiao looked at her hurried back and felt happy.
You little bastard! I can't cure you, but it's good to give you trouble.
On the fifth day after Jian Yue detoxified the masked man, she went to see him for a follow-up check-up. She was completely relieved to be confirmed that his health was improving.
The masked man's body had been corroded by toxins for years, and his foundation was weak. But as long as he took good care of himself, he would be able to recover in a year or two.
Ji Yunzhong brought a generous gift. It was a thank-you gift from the masked man. There were 50,000 taels of silver notes, some valuable medicinal herbs and jewelry, several rolls of expensive fabrics, and a manor with 500 acres of land outside Shangjing City.
He came by to say goodbye to her as he was going back to Beijing.
"If you need any materials or tools, just tell the shopkeeper, he will do his best to get it for you. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, let the shopkeeper send me a message. In addition, I have placed a few people outside your house to protect you. If you want to see them, you can meet them. If there is anything, you can also tell them to do it. When I am not here, they will obey your orders."
Ji Yunzhong gave a lot of instructions before he left. Jian Yue even suspected that he was a bit like a mother.
You need to buy New Year's goods in advance for the New Year. This is the first New Year that Jian Yue has celebrated since coming to this world. She wants her two masters to have a prosperous New Year. So, she takes Chenxiang and Muxiang to buy New Year's goods.
The weather outside was dry and cold. Yun Zhonghe observed the sky and said there would be a heavy snow this year, but it never came. If it weren't for Yun Zhonghe's other identity, Yan Xiuyuan might have thought he was talking nonsense and spreading rumors.
But Jane Yue believed it.
Ever since Yun Zhonghe said there would be a blizzard, she had Fan Da secretly rent four large warehouses and sent people to secretly purchase more than two million kilograms of grain in the name of grain merchants. She also purchased a large number of cotton-padded clothes, quilts and charcoal in the name of a cloth shop.
Jian Yue looked at the weather. There were dark clouds and not a breath of wind. She felt like it was going to snow soon.
She brought two carriages with her and rented two more on the roadside. She and Chen Xiang Mu Xiang quickly shopped on the street. She bought everything she liked in one piece or in a pack. She ordered pork and mutton in advance and had the butcher slaughter them and deliver them to her house. She bought chickens, ducks, and geese in dozens.
The four carriages were fully loaded and returned with great cargo.
Jian Yue saw an acquaintance, and the other person saw her at the same time.
Jian Xiaohe's legs were able to walk, but Jian Yue found that she walked with a limp. It was probably because she was not well taken care of during her recuperation, so she became disabled.
She looked a little haggard, and was accompanied by Huangli, Xiaocui, and Shitou. The three of them were holding things in their hands, and they must have come out to buy New Year's goods.
The effects of the medicine on Xiaocui and Shitou had worn off, and they were back to normal. But when they saw Jianyue, they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
In their minds, Jian Yue was not only cruel but also very evil. If they were touched by her, they would get strange diseases. The key point was that other doctors could not diagnose the disease, let alone treat it.
If looks could kill, Jian Yue had been killed a hundred times by Jian Xiaohe's looks. Her hatred was like substance, and her gnashing teeth made her wish she could bite Jian Yue to death.
The oriole frowned.
Even her own master couldn't get any benefits from dealing with Jian Yue, let alone her, a maid.
Huangli wisely advised Jian Xiaohe: "Miss Xiaohe, the weather is bad, let's buy New Year's goods and leave quickly!"
Although Jian Xiaohe hated Jian Yue, he also knew that he was no match for her. He glared at her fiercely and left with an unwilling heart.
At some point, snowflakes started falling from the sky.
Snowing!
Jian Yue and the other two hurried back to the Yue residence, only to find a luxurious carriage parked at the gate. Next to the carriage were eight servants carrying several boxes of gifts tied with red silk.
A fat woman with a big red flower on her head and heavy makeup was trying to please Amber, asking him to go in and inform them to come in.
Amber was very impatient: "How many times have I told you that the young lady is not here and the great doctor is not seeing guests. Go away, go away!"
Matchmaker He refused to leave and said with a smile: "I am an official matchmaker, not like those gossipy women in the countryside. If you don't believe me, go and ask around. All the marriages that have been arranged by Matchmaker He have never been unhappy."
"Amber, what's going on?" A cold voice sounded from behind.
Matchmaker He turned around and saw the girl in the middle wearing a rabbit fur cape with a lake blue skirt underneath. Her gradually growing eyebrows and eyes looked pure and elegant.
Amber took two quick steps and said, "Girl, this woman calls herself the matchmaker He, and says she is here to propose marriage to you."
Matchmaker He listened attentively, her eyes flashed, and she hurried over, smiling with wrinkles on her face: "Hey! This must be Miss Yan who just returned to her ancestral home, right? Congratulations, it's a happy occasion!"
Jian Yue glanced at her indifferently: "If you are here to propose marriage, forget it. I am not yet of age, still a child, it is too early to talk about marriage."
Matchmaker He said shamelessly: "Miss Yan will be 15 next year, so now is a good time to meet her. Besides, the family I introduced to Miss Yan is a well-off family with status and position. Miss Yan, you will never get the chance again if you miss this opportunity."
At this time, a young man got off the carriage. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, had a fair and handsome face, and it was obvious that he came from a good family.
"Is this Miss Yan? I am honored to meet you." Wang Wengui performed a scholar's salute. His words and actions were gentle, refined and polite.
Matchmaker He quickly introduced: "Miss Yan, this is the second son of Wang Tongpan's family. Look at him, he is handsome and has good character. When you enter the house, you will be the young lady of the Tongpan family and enjoy endless wealth and glory. Where can you find such a good marriage?"
Jian Yue sneered: "What is your relationship with Xie Yulan? Did Xie Yulan ask you to come?"
Wang Wengui blushed and said politely, "Miss Yan, Xie Yulan is my aunt. Although my aunt's status is low, my father thinks highly of me and once said that my future is limitless. I am not a fickle person and I will never take a concubine after I marry a wife."
"Oh my! Where can I find such a chaste man? Miss Yan, why don't we go inside and talk about this in detail? It's not appropriate to talk about this on the street."
Jian Yue said sarcastically: "It's amazing that you still know it's inappropriate. Who would make such a big fuss when they come to propose marriage for the first time..."
