Chapter 143 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 7
Chu Yuan saw that she couldn't avoid it, so she could only step forward and bow: "I am Chu Yuan, your humble daughter, and I am honored to meet Master Changsun."
"Why, you wanted to leave the house at first, and this is how you live after leaving the house?"
Chu Yuan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at his clothes which were dirty from jumping out of the car and had several tears at the cuffs.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am living a good life now. Although my life is difficult, at least I don't have to live in fear every day."
"Hmph, let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut."
Watching the carriage going farther and farther away, Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. How could he meet him when he was in such a mess?
The first thing she did when she got home was to take a shower and change her clothes.
In fact, there are a lot of clothes in the closet. Since cooperating with Nishang Pavilion, Lady Ying saw that she was dressed ordinary and gave her a lot of clothes.
But she was not a delicate lady who had never had to do housework. Those complicated dresses were inconvenient to wear, so she kept them in the closet without moving.
After learning the lesson today, Chu Yuan took out a robe from the space, transformed it into the style of a dress in the closet and put it on.
Now, no matter what, her clothes would not be torn or dirty, and there would never be such an embarrassing moment as today.
The next morning, Chu Yuan took a carriage to Nishang Pavilion and handed in the drawings for this month.
Madam Ying looked at her newly painted dress and was curious about how such novel ideas came into her little head.
Chu Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Thank you Madam Ying for your kindness. I am used to seeing all kinds of luxurious dresses in Shangjing City, so I just made some innovations on top of them."
"Miss Chu, there is no need to be modest. It is your innovations that have attracted all the dignitaries to scramble to spend money."
After a few pleasantries, Chu Yuan left.
Her home was far away, and the round trip to the inner city would cost 200 wen, so she was not in a hurry to go back and planned to stroll around the area.
She first went to Wenmoxuan to buy a few rolls of rice paper and some ink sticks, and also bought a set of brushes. These things cost her 30 taels.
Then she went to the bookstore next door and picked up a storybook to kill time. It was not that she didn't want to buy more, but books of that era were very expensive. This one cost three taels.
For people nowadays, reading and learning to read and write is really a huge expense.
After buying the books, Chu Yuan went into a jewelry shop. She wanted to buy a silver hairpin for herself.
The things collected in the space are all treasures among treasures. With her status, she would be arrested and brought to justice the next day if she took them out.
However, it is not a solution to keep using this wooden hairpin on her head. After all, she is also a girl who loves beauty, so she still has to spend some money.
After choosing for a long time, Chu Yuan chose a silver hairpin carved with orchids, and a pair of earrings to match it. She bought them both. The two pieces of jewelry cost her a total of 15 taels.
After buying all these, she had almost spent all the money she had brought with her, so she prepared to go home.
When I passed by a vegetable stall and a butcher shop, I bought two radishes and some large bones, preparing to go back and make some soup for myself.
She hasn't cooked for herself for a long time since she sent Chu Yang to school.
Every day at mealtime, she would boil a large pot of water in an iron pot to avoid suspicion from others, and then take out the delicious food stored in the space for a big meal.
She went shopping today and was in a good mood. She hummed a little tune while busying herself in the kitchen for a while and made a pot of bone soup.
Before she could serve it out and taste it carefully, she heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Sister Chu, are you home?"
Chu Yuan opened the gate a little and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your brother had a high fever this morning and was sent to the clinic in the west of the city. The teacher asked me to tell you to go over and see him as soon as possible."
"Thank you, big brother. I'll be there now."
Just like that, she didn't even have time to eat. She put the freshly cooked pork ribs soup into the space, then took the silver and went out.
They still hired a carriage at the alley entrance, and the driver was the same one as last time, but there were no accidents on the road this time, and they arrived at the door of the clinic very quickly.
He refused to take the money Chu Yuan gave him, saying that he had injured her last time and this should be considered as compensation.
There was no time to argue with him at this moment. Chu Yuan put the money in the car and went into the clinic.
"Doctor, a 9-year-old boy was just sent to Hengchuan Academy. Where is he now?"
"Oh, you must be his sister. He's in the backyard. I'll take you there."
Chu Yuan followed the doctor into a room for patients to rest. Chu Yang was lying on one of the beds.
"Yang'er, how are you?" Chu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed his arm, taking the opportunity to take his pulse.
I feel a little weak, but it's nothing serious. It should be a common cold.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy. I'm sorry to have worried my sister."
The doctor also agreed: "Don't worry, young lady. Your brother is just a little tired during this period. Take some medicine and have a good rest. He will be well soon."
"Thank you, doctor." Chu Yuan took the prescription, took a look at it, then went out to pay the money and get the medicine.
The doctor had good medical skills and the prescription he prescribed was very effective. Chu Yuan took three doses of medicine and left with his brother.
Chu Yang just felt a little weak, not that he was too sick to get out of bed. He originally wanted to rest in the clinic for a day and then go back to the academy to study.
But Chu Yuan stopped him firmly. A child of his age is still just an elementary school student in modern times. There is no need to push himself so hard.
After leaving the clinic, the driver was still waiting outside: "Miss, are you going back? Why don't I take you there?"
Chu Yuan helped his brother get on the carriage. Perhaps considering that there was a patient on board, the driver drove the carriage very smoothly with almost no bumps.
This time he said he would not charge any money no matter what, so Chu Yuan gave up. At most he could patronize his business a few more times in the future.
In fact, hiring a carriage every time you go out is a very troublesome thing, because you may not always find one.
Chu Yuan had long wanted to buy a horse for herself, but she had not yet found a reasonable reason for the fact that she could ride a horse, so she had not taken any action.
After returning home, Chu Yuan helped his brother lie down on the bed, and took out the freshly cooked bone soup from the space for him to fill his stomach first.
She went to the kitchen to boil medicine and added a drop of spiritual spring water to the boiling water. Drinking this bowl of medicine would guarantee that the disease would be cured.
When taking his pulse just now, Chu Yuan found that his body was a little weak. Normally speaking, a young man of this age should be full of energy and his pulse should not be like this.
But after a closer look, she found the reason.
There were two big, glaring dark circles under Chu Yang's eyes. Could it be that this kid had insomnia at the academy that night?
You know, he is in the growth and development period now. What if he doesn’t sleep well and doesn’t grow tall?
