Chapter 013 What a Blessed One

Wang was speechless.

She thought that if she could go back, these things would be ready at home.

However, she was inexplicably afraid of her half-smile.

She swallowed her saliva, thought about it and realized that she really needed to buy some things, so she said, "Okay, then it's up to you." She was not stingy at all, and returned the change to her: "Then go to town tomorrow and help me buy some bath beans, facial cream, rouge, lip balm and clothes."

Tang Shiyue said: "Why don't you come with me, mother?"

"No," Wang waved her hand, "I'm too lazy to move."

"Well," Tang Shiyue looked at her seriously for a few times, "Mother, your face, head and body are all covered in dust and dirt. It's really not good for you to see people. It's better for you to stay at home."

"What?" Wang sat up instantly, quickly fetched some water, and began to comb her hair with a comb in the water.

Although for the villagers, this was also part of Wang's work, but in this respect alone, she was really grateful for Wang's "work". Everyone in the third room loved cleanliness, otherwise if they really "talked about it while scratching their lice", with their heads full of lice and nits... I dare not even imagine the scene.

Therefore, the problem of washing hair and taking a bath is definitely her most urgent problem to be solved at the moment!

...

...

Why are other people who travel through time like fairies, not having to go to the toilet or take a shower, but here she has to worry about everything...

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky began to turn pale, Tang Shiyue carried a basket and got on the ox cart in front of her house.

The ox cart of the small wine shop went to the town every two or three days. This ox cart had no canopy, and there were stools on both sides, so it could only seat about seven or eight people. There were also eight jars of two-jin sake on the cart. The old ladies with bound feet or the young wives with loose hands in the village also wanted to take the cart. They all waited at the entrance of the village. Each person paid two cents for a round trip, and Tang Shiyue also gave them.

In such an occasion, Tang Junchen did not look sideways, and was extremely polite. Madam Zhou smiled and said to her, "Wait for me for a moment when you enter the town. I will accompany the head of the family to deliver the wine, and then go with you. If there are any shops I know, I can help you bargain."

A lady from the same clan said with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law is always warm-hearted and well-informed in the town. It's your first time in the town, so you won't suffer any harm if you follow her."

Tang Shiyue smiled and thanked him. Along the way, he met many young people from the same village. They walked to the town just to save the two cents. Tang Shiyue couldn't help asking, "How long does it take to get to the town if we walk?"

Madam Zhou said, "This place is more than twenty miles away from the town. If you are fast, it will take more than an hour."

That was really far, and Tang Shiyue immediately gave up the idea of ​​going there by herself next time.

They rocked all the way to the town. Once inside, they did not see the numerous shops as she had imagined. Tang Junchen got off the carriage and went to the clan school. The ox cart continued for a while before arriving at the market.

Everyone got off the car. Uncle Tang and Madam Zhou went to the Yunlai Restaurant in the town. Tang Shiyue was waiting outside. She saw the couple talking to a man who looked like a shopkeeper and bowing to them constantly. The shopkeeper seemed a little impatient. He frowned and waved his hands, and then he simply turned around and left.

Fourth Uncle Tang and Madam Zhou came out with their heads down, and the wine in the car had not been unloaded. Tang Shiyue had already noticed something was wrong, so she turned her back and saw them coming out, and smiled, "Aunt, this is my first time here, and it seems quite strange. Why don't I go around by myself?"

"No need," Madam Zhou didn't look unhappy at all, she just said, "Auntie, please come with you, I also want to buy some things."

Tang Shiyue didn't say anything more, and the two of them went to the pharmacy first. Madam Zhou was not familiar with the pharmacy, but she heard people say that Baohetang was the largest pharmacy in town, so the two of them went there nearby.

In Tang Shiyue's backpack was the Houttuynia cordata that she had picked yesterday.

As soon as he entered the pharmacy, he saw a man who looked like a shopkeeper was walking around, directing the apprentices to run around. Tang Shiyue waited for a while, then found an opportunity and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you sell medicine here?"

The shopkeeper didn't turn around, and a man next to him came over and asked, "What medicine do you want to sell?"

Tang Shiyue took off the backpack. When the man saw it, his eyes suddenly widened and he was delighted. He raised his head and said, "Shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper turned around, his eyes also lit up, and he came over and rummaged through the basket. The annoyance on his brows disappeared, but he kept a calm expression and said with a bit of disgust: "Why did you think of picking this?"

Tang Shiyue smiled crisply and said, "I'm here to help you, the shopkeeper, out of your urgent need!"

The shopkeeper was startled, then looked up. Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, what's your name?"

The shopkeeper stood up, looked her up and down, and said, "No need to bother, my surname is Liu."

"Manager Liu," Tang Shiyue said with a smile, "This medicine is rare and not worth much. It seems that I have been lucky today. Manager Liu makes the big money, and I can just follow you and make a small profit. What do you say?"

She made it clear, and it was difficult for Manager Liu to say anything.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him.

She was wearing shabby clothes, was short and thin, and looked like a young country girl. But her sparkling peach blossom eyes, with a smile on her face, and her calm and leisurely demeanor revealed an air of grace.

After all, it was the largest pharmacy in town, and it didn't lack this little money. Manager Liu smiled and said, "You are really smart, little girl! Today is really a coincidence for you. It would be useless if you came earlier or later, but you came at this time and helped me a lot. I won't cheat you. I will give you ten taels of silver for these. Is that okay?"

Madam Zhou next to her gasped and looked at her in disbelief.

Tang Shiyue remained calm and bowed gracefully: "Thank you, Manager Liu."

Half a basket of Hedyotis diffusa cost two kilograms, and Manager Liu readily gave her ten taels of silver. It was not until they left the medicine shop that Madam Zhou let out a sharp breath, "Yuer! Pinch me! Am I dreaming? This Hedyotis diffusa...usually it wouldn't even sell for ten cents, but today I sold it for ten taels of silver!"

Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "It's just good luck."

"That's true! You are really a lucky person!" Madam Zhou sighed again and again: "How did you see that? You are such a brave child! You dare to talk to those people like that!"

Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "If we don't show our presence, they will inevitably bully customers. We just need to be polite and don't be timid, otherwise people will look down on us!"

Madam Zhou immediately looked at me with new eyes: "You are really knowledgeable, girl!" She paused and asked casually: "I think I saw this snake tongue grass once when I went down the mountain the other day?"

Tang Shiyue pretended not to understand what she meant, and said with a smile: "There is a small patch near the three big locust trees at the foot of the mountain. I picked all the herbs with my basket, but only picked half of them. But aunt, listen to what Manager Liu said, this is just in time, someone needs fresh snake tongue grass, and it's urgent, so I sold so much, and I won't buy more after that. So I won't pick it anymore."

Madam Zhou thought so too, sighed, and couldn't help but say: "You are such a lucky child."

Tang Shiyue smiled and changed the subject: "Aunt, I want to buy some bath bean cream for my mother, where can I get it?"

"Oh," Madam Zhou's thoughts were distracted: "I'll take you there. Go around here. There is an old rouge shop. The shopkeeper's surname is Wang. He is a very kind person..."
