An all-capable female secret agent transmigrated to become the evil stepmother of three villainous cubs! Don't panic! Watch how she clears her name, raises the cubs well, gains their forgivenes...
Chapter 403 This disease is difficult to cure!
Five hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, and one hundred pieces of cloth.
What this meant was that Emperor Xuan gave Jiang Lianzhu money and other things as a reward to repay Dabao and the others for her kindness in raising them.
Presumably, when Dabao met Xuanhuang, he said a lot of good things about Jiang Lianzhu.
Xuan Huang took one last look at her but did not summon her. Perhaps he felt that a country woman was not worthy of meeting and that rewarding her with gold and silver would be enough.
This was also what Liao Jiu and the others had discussed on the carriage before going to Beijing. They would not reveal Jiang Lianzhu's strength for the time being. If the news of her being too powerful attracted attention, people would be wary of her background and suspect her origins, causing unnecessary trouble.
Dabao also agreed. The capital is a mixed bag with all kinds of people, and it is definitely a good idea to keep a low profile.
Therefore, when the two of them met Xuan Huang, they certainly did not mention her too much. They probably just mentioned her in passing, and Xuan Huang had not yet noticed her.
This direction is right.
She accepted the gold, silver and valuables without hesitation.
After raising the cub for so long, I finally got some results.
All of them were stored in her armory and personal locker.
Thanks to her children, she is now considered a rich woman.
Five hundred taels of gold is equivalent to five thousand taels of silver.
All in all, she was rewarded with eight thousand taels of silver, plus the five thousand taels of life-saving money from Liao Jiu, and the money she had saved up, it was almost fifteen thousand. The food and drink along the way were all paid for by the government, so there was not much expense. She gave one hundred taels to Jiang Chengshi and one hundred taels to Erya. It was not that she was unwilling to give more, but if she gave more, they would not be able to keep it, and it would be dangerous for them.
Generally, when a single young girl has a large sum of money, the first thing she thinks of is using it as a dowry.
In Jiang Lianzhu's opinion, the dowry can never be considered as a dowry. Just by marrying her to Liao Jiu, he is taking advantage of her. Humph!
If Dabao and his friends' case is solved in the future, we will see what the prices of goods and housing are like in the capital. We can then decide whether to buy a house or a shop. We can also open a clinic or do some small business in the capital, which all require capital.
After thanking the imperial edict, Jiang Lianzhu went out to look for the magic grass.
Without her three kids, she went out not to play but to do something, and her daughter didn't even chase her away.
He simply disguised himself and went out to familiarize himself with the capital's environment and look for the magical herb.
The capital is prosperous and bustling.
Jiang Lianzhu took a map and walked along the way, stopping and starting.
She quickly got a rough idea of the environment around the Six Gates. Xiang Zuo wanted to send her a guide, but she didn't need one because he couldn't keep up with her speed.
The capital of Da'an State, with the Imperial Palace at its center, forms the first ring. Clearly marked on it are the concentrated residences of the powerful and wealthy. Then, the bustling areas like East Street and West Street are in the second ring...
Liushenmen is within the Third Ring Road, a bit far from the downtown area.
Jiang Lianzhu specifically looked at the signs of medical clinics and pharmacies. There were the most medical clinics and pharmacies within the Second Ring Road, so she went straight there.
In fact, after the people from Liushenmen received Liao Jiu's letter on the road, they started sending people to search for the clinics in every street and alley, but they couldn't find it.
Jiang Lianzhu went there again in person, but it was just a matter of luck, because the fairy grass might have been called by a different name, or it might have another form, and she might be able to recognize it at a glance.
However, the chances are extremely small.
But there was no way out, she could not wait at home.
Coming to East Street, the most lively and prosperous street in the capital, the level of liveliness is much greater than that of the capital of Chubei Prefecture.
The accent in the capital of Da'an Kingdom is not uniform, and there are all kinds of voices and tones coming from the south and the north.
Jiang Lianzhu was overwhelmed by the sight. She was in a hurry and had no time to take in the excitement. She found a large pharmacy called Huichuntang.
When I went in, I saw a lot of people inside, some coming to get medicine, some coming to ask about their medical conditions.
The medicine cabinet is also large and there are many servants.
There are several large medicine cabinets, all well-made, with small drawers filled with the names of various medicines.
The young man was receiving guests and the old master was weighing and dispensing medicines. Everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu entered, a waiter came up and asked, "Sir, what do you need? Do you want to buy medicine?"
She dressed up as a man to avoid the inconvenience of going out in women's clothes. Which girl can walk briskly on the street?
"I want to buy some medicine. I want to talk to your master. Please ask your master to come over and see me." Jiang Lianzhu said seriously.
The young man glanced at her, and she looked like she was wearing something of unusual material, "Then come with me into the inner room and talk."
Are you kidding? Jiang Lianzhu is wearing Liao Jiu's clothes, how can it be ordinary?
Jiang Lianzhu followed him to the inner room, where there were even more medicine cabinets and shelves.
An old master was preparing and weighing medicine. A young man came forward and explained his purpose. The old master stopped what he was doing and asked the young man to go out and do his work while he went to greet Jiang Lianzhu.
Jiang Lianzhu took out the written prescription, which was the prescription for treating Nanny Cheng.
"Master, please give me a pair."
The old master glanced at the words on the eye drops prescription and looked up at Jiang Lianzhu with some curiosity.
"What's wrong, Master?"
The master asked, "Who prescribed this recipe?"
Jiang Lianzhu replied, "It's a doctor. Is there something wrong with the prescription? Or something?"
The old master said, "No, no, I'll get you some medicine... This disease is difficult to treat!"
He didn’t say anything else after that and went to get the medicine.
After catching it, he handed it to Jiang Lianzhu and said, "Go out and pay the money. The price is written on it."
Jiang Lianzhu replied, "Thank you very much, Master. Do you have a rare grass with orchid-like leaves? It was bought from Aquarius Country... It's called Fairy Grass, or something similar?"
Prescribing medicine for Nanny Cheng was just a cover; this was her real purpose.
The old master thought for a moment and said, "No."
"Think about it carefully. This leaf also has a certain paralyzing effect. It's quite rare..." Jiang Lianzhu continued to ask, "By the way, it's not the disease that this prescription is for. It's for the brain? Or the blood?"
The old master stroked his beard and asked, "Are you also a doctor?"
Jiang Lianzhu said half-seriously, "Yes, I'm a doctor. I have a patient with a strange disease. Medical books say that only by finding this fairy grass can we cure it. I'm not from the capital, I'm a doctor from another place. The capital is big, there are many clinics, and the doctors are more knowledgeable. So, I came to the capital in the hope of finding this medicine. Master, can you help me think about it? If Huichuntang doesn't have it, do other pharmacies have it?"
The old master still shook his head. "I've never heard of it. Some of the prescriptions and herbs in ancient medical books have long been lost. You can't find them even if you want to. Instead of looking for rare herbs, it's better to let the patient go see other famous doctors elsewhere. Maybe there are other ways..."
