Chapter 93 Improvement

Yue Buwei blushed and jumped up immediately when his name was mentioned, "Crazy woman, stop slandering me. You don't even know how much I helped Miss Shen this morning."

Early this morning, Yue Buwei took a medicine basket and went to the back mountain. When he came back, his cloth shoes were covered in mud.

He was afraid that others would not believe him, so he ran to the room, took out the medicine basket, and spread the herbs inside on the flat ground in the yard.

Looking at these medicinal herbs, Shen Jinan's eyes immediately lit up. There were several kinds of them that she had always been in short supply of.

Not to mention that the quality of these medicinal materials is superb.

Seeing Shen Jinan's surprised look, Yue Buwei immediately became proud, put his hands on his hips and showed off loudly to Hong Niangzi.

"Look here, you crazy woman! I'm a poison doctor!"

His smug look caused Hongniang to look at him with contempt.

"What a poison doctor! You can't beat me!"

If Shen Jinan hadn't stopped them, the two would have started fighting again.

"Cassia seeds, saxifrage, and tiankui seeds, these are exactly what I wanted. Senior, you are really amazing." Shen Jinan was not stingy with his praise for Yue Buwei.

She found that Yue Buwei's personality was no different from Sui Sui Huanhuan's, and she would feel happy if he praised her a few words.

As expected, Yue Buwei smiled like an old chrysanthemum, and then hurriedly said, "Chen girl, I can find something more precious, but..."

He hesitated to speak, but Shen Jinan knew that he wanted to make a request, so he said calmly, “No problem, please speak, senior.”

"I want to compete with you a few more times!"

Yue Buwei clenched his fists and said that he was completely unprepared when he lost to Shen Jinan last time. He must practice more with Shen Jinan!

"Alright, Old Monster Yue, stop being so arrogant. My sister has already given you enough respect."

Hongniang was very unhappy with Yue Buwei's behavior and rolled her eyes several times.

"Crazy woman, you!" Yue Buwei's old face turned red with anger, but he couldn't refute anything.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing serious. Don't worry, sister. I know what to do. Besides, I've been studying medicine for so long and there haven't been many people to learn from or teach me. I'm afraid my skills have become rusty."

Shen Jinan said with a smile, and finally calmed the two people down.

Yue Buwei and Shen Jinan agreed that they would start sparring one hour after lunch every afternoon.

An hour later, Shen Jinan and Yue Buwei were standing in the yard.

Sui Sui Huan Huan was driven into the room by Gu Yanqing for fear that the child would be hurt.

The matchmaker stood by and acted as a referee, fearing that one of the parties would use too much force.

Shen Jinan just waved his hand, and a cloud of fine powder rushed towards Yue Buwei. Yue Buwei immediately sprinkled out the antidote to fight against it.

The two fought for several rounds, but there was no clear winner. Shen Jin'an secretly took out a silver needle from his sleeve and quickly pierced a certain acupoint of Yue Buwei.

Yue Buwei seemed to have anticipated this and used his internal energy to force the silver needle out.

Shen Jinan was stunned. He didn't expect that he had such a trick up his sleeve.

Seeing her stunned, Yue Buwei laughed out loud, thinking that he had won again this time, but unexpectedly his whole body gradually became stiff.

"What, what's going on?" His face was full of fear, and he couldn't use his internal strength.

"Senior, this is a small gift from me. Don't be afraid. It will be resolved in an hour."

Shen Jinan's eyebrows curved, and he clapped his hands and said.

It turned out that Shen Jinan had just added a homemade anesthetic to the silver needle, which was harmless to the human body, but would make the body's veins stiff for an hour.

Just like that, Yue Buwei stood in the middle of the yard with a sad face for a full hour.

During this time, Hongniang brought her two children and painted on his face with brushes, and remained unmoved no matter how Yue Buwei scolded her.

The yard was filled with joy, and Shen Jinan couldn't help but be infected by the joy. Gu Yanqing approached from behind her.

"My lady, why are you smiling so happily?" Gu Yanqing looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Shen Jinan pointed to the old man, one big man and two small children in the yard and said with a smile, "Look, there's a big commotion."

Gu Yanqing looked over and this joyful scene made him feel as if he was in another world.

The hard days of exile seemed like just yesterday, and living like an ordinary family today was something he had never dared to hope for before.

"By the way, husband, can you accompany me to the tavern in town today?" Shen Jinan suddenly suggested.

Gu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she wanted to go to the tavern, but he still agreed.

They said hello to Hongniang, went out to find a bullock cart, and paid two cents.

"Uncle, thank you for your help." Shen Jinan got on the ox cart and put the small bag he was carrying on the cart.

Gu Yanqing sat outside, holding the edge with her hands to prevent her from falling.

The ox cart swayed and carried the two of them to the town.

The town is much more prosperous than the village, with people coming and going and the sounds of hawking being heard everywhere.

"Husband, look, the tavern is over there." Shen Jinan had sharp eyes and saw the fluttering tavern flag from a distance and pointed it out to Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing followed her gaze, responded with a few words, and did not forget to help her get off the ox cart.

They walked side by side on the busy street, and Shen Jinan was dazzled by the sight.

Walk all the way to the door of the tavern.

"Dear guests, what would you like to order?" The waiter came out to greet them warmly and recommended several types of wine.

Shen Jinan took a rough look and found that most of them were Huangmei wine, Gu wine, and slightly more expensive medicinal wine, which was divided into different price ranges.

"Little brother, how much is this snake gall wine?" Shen Jinan pointed to the highest wine jar on the counter, and the clerk immediately said with a smile.

"You have a good eye, young lady. This is our shop's treasure. One bean costs one ounce of silver!"

One tael of silver!

Shen Jinan secretly smacked his lips in amazement, thinking that it was enough for a rural family to eat for half a year.

"It's too expensive. Do you have any cheaper medicinal wine?" Shen Jinan touched his purse and said a little embarrassedly.

The guy seemed to be used to it and recommended several other wines.

Shen Jinan ordered three kinds of medicinal wine, each costing one dime, and paid a full 180 coins.

When the money was handed over, Shen Jinan's heart was bleeding. He could only keep comforting himself that there was only income and only expenditure. Buying medicinal wine now was to sell it better.

Seeing that his own tavern was open, the waiters talked more, so Shen Jinan started to inquire about it.

"Little brother, where do you get your medicinal wine from?"

She asked casually, and the guy didn't seem to be in the mood to ask. He pointed to the clinic not far away across the street.

"It's Chunhetang! Their doctor can make medicinal wine, and he has already negotiated with our boss." The waiter packed the medicinal wine neatly and handed it to Shen Jinan.

"Originally, this jar costs one penny each, but since you bought a lot today, I'll give it to you for free," the waiter said with a grin.

Shen Jinan couldn't help but secretly admire the clerk's activeness. If she came to do business, she would poach this clerk.
