Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 310 Doctor Du disrupts the situation set by his mother
Du Wanwan opened the script written by Liang and read it carefully. When she found something unreasonable, she urged Liang to revise it immediately.
There was no paper and pen at home, so Ye Tingyu ran out with silver to buy some, and came back panting.
Suddenly I felt that my sister-in-law was amazing. Not only did she know medicine, she also knew storybooks. When she had nothing to do, could she write something?
After revising the storybook, Du Wanwan returned it to Liang: "Aunt San! Do you know where to sell this storybook? I am not familiar with this place in the capital."
Chen Xiangxiu smiled at the side: "Wanwan, don't worry! Your Third Aunt must know where she bought the book before, so she can just go there to sell it now."
Liang shook her head: "Master told me to send it to Changyuan Bookstore. I don't dare to go alone. Can Wanwan accompany Third Aunt?"
"Sure." Du Wanwan did not refuse and readily agreed, "I'm free in the morning and I have to see a patient in the afternoon."
"Then you guys hurry up and leave the house to me and your aunt." Chen Xiangxiu urged, "Go earlier and come back earlier."
Liang immediately stood up and pulled Du Wanwan: "Then let's go!"
"Is Changyuan Bookstore far from here?" Du Wanwan suggested, "If it is far, let's take a carriage there. Walking is too tiring."
"Drive a carriage?" Liang frowned. "Wanwan, can you drive one? Third Aunt can't."
"I can." Du Wanwan went to the backyard to harness the carriage. Ye Tingyu followed and asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law! Can you take me with you?"
"all right!"
Du Wanwan felt sad when she saw her flattering and guilty expression. The little girl must have been frightened by what happened at home and she hasn't recovered yet.
"Yu'er! There's no need to be so careful when talking to a family. Just say whatever you want to do. As long as it's not excessive, sister-in-law will support it."
"Really?" Ye Tingyu laughed happily, lowered his head, twisted his fingers, and asked unconfidently, "Sister-in-law! I also want to write storybooks to earn money, is that okay?"
"Sure!" Du Wanwan harnessed the car, let Ye Tingyu get in, and hurried out of the backyard. "If you want to write, your sister-in-law will help you send it to the bookstore. You are a young girl with little social experience and it is easy to be cheated."
Ye Tingyu in the carriage was overjoyed and laughed like a goose: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind! Then buy some paper and pen when we come back, and I will write when I have nothing to do."
"OK!"
It's good that the little girl is ambitious, and you shouldn't discourage her. When she can't write well, she can criticize the author a little, which will definitely help her regain her confidence and courage.
In her previous life, she had watched many online fantasy short dramas, as well as some palace fighting and family intrigue dramas, which, at the very least, were more readable than the stories of this era.
The family was suddenly in trouble, and the little girl was able to think about finding a way out for herself, which was actually forcing herself to learn to grow up. Well, in ancient times, it was not easy for women to find a job, and they usually lived by relying on men.
If you can earn money, you will be happier. With money in your hand, you will not be anxious wherever you go.
Liang got on the carriage and directed Du Wanwan to go to the other direction of the east city. Changyuan Bookstore was in the south of the city, just across the street from where the rich people in the east lived.
When they arrived at the place, Du Wanwan parked the carriage outside the bookstore and walked in with Ye Tingyu and Liang.
The bookstore was very large, with two floors. The lower floor was where men read books, drank tea, and bought books, pens, inkstones, and paper. The upper floor was where women read books and bought storybooks. Liang would occasionally come here to hang out.
But at that time, she was the third wife of the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion, and she seldom went out. Her maids usually bought the storybooks for her. When her house was searched, all her maids were taken away and sold, so they could not come with her.
If you follow along, the guys will definitely know each other.
Seeing that they were not dressed well, the bookstore clerk did not greet them warmly. After staying in the bookstore for a long time, I knew at a glance that these three people were from the east of the city.
The family had a little money, and sometimes by living frugally they could afford to buy a book of storytelling for one or two taels of silver.
Unlike the young ladies and wives of wealthy families, as long as the story content of the storybook is interesting, they will buy more than ten copies at once.
They like customers like that, who spend a lot and make the shopkeeper happy, and occasionally give them some tips.
Du Wanwan was wearing a long cloth gown and had her hair combed into a Taoist bun, tied with a long cloth ribbon, with the two ends hanging down and floating behind her head.
He had a cool expression, looked straight ahead, and walked towards the store neither arrogantly nor humbly.
Liang had been to Changyuan Bookstore and was leading people to the second floor, but Du Wanwan was stopped by the waiter: "Sir! The upstairs is for women, men are not allowed to go up there."
Glancing at her attire, Du Wanwan nodded: "Okay! I won't go up. I'll go find your shopkeeper. Is he here? I have a business deal to discuss with him."
Hearing that there was business to discuss, the waiter looked at Du Wanwan from the side. Although this person was not dressed well, his calm and stern aura should not be underestimated.
Could it be that there is some origin?
With the attitude of not wanting to offend, the waiter nodded slightly: "The shopkeeper is in the backyard, please wait, I will ask for you."
“Hmm!”
Du Wanwan agreed calmly, looking calm and composed. Seeing this scene, Liang was particularly impressed. She felt so useless that she didn't even dare to speak after entering this place.
She was afraid of saying something wrong, attracting the attention of others and bringing shame to the master. Then she looked at Wanwan, she had no worries at all, and did everything according to her own will.
The problems that I was worried about did not exist in her eyes. She had only lived in the capital for decades, but she was not as calm and domineering as a little girl.
No wonder Zhong Yuan fell in love with her. It is really rare to find someone who is so graceful and tactful.
Du Wanwan, Liang and Yetingyu were standing at the junction of the first floor and the second floor. Two women came down from upstairs, one in red and the other in green.
The woman in red was wearing a red horse-faced skirt, and the woman in green was wearing a blue horse-faced skirt of the same style. They were both young, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and she looked like a daughter of an official family, the kind who loved to show off.
Du Wanwan was wearing men's clothes, with one hand behind her back and the other hand clenched in a fist on her waist in front. When someone came down the stairs, she automatically stepped aside.
The woman in red raised her eyes and looked at her. Suddenly, her eyebrows were raised and she was very angry: "Doctor Du! I didn't expect you to be so elegant and come to Changyuan Bookstore.
I thought you were just playing tricks to cheat my stupid uncle out of his money."
Du Wanwan's gaze fell coldly on the woman in red: "Cheating? Miss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
"Why was the old lady of the Liu family poisoned? What kind of poison was it? I think you should know it in your heart, right? Is Mr. Liu Sanqian a fool? If I hadn't cured the old lady Liu, would he have given away the money casually?"
The woman in red is Zhang Yixiang, the daughter of Liu Sanqian's eldest sister Liu Lanxian. She married into her husband's family two years ago and has had no children.
Her husband despised her, her mother-in-law disliked her, she was in a bad mood and often asked people to go shopping with her.
She had heard about the Liu family's affairs from her mother Liu Lanxian. She was furious when she learned that it was Doctor Du who messed up the scheme set up by her mother.
