A modern worker with consistently bad luck - Luo Chaoyan, was blown into a strange ancient time by a typhoon.
Her father is a fifth-rank petty official, and her mother is the daughter of a we...
Chapter 31
In order to comfort her "wounded heart", Luo Chaoyan decided to go out and have a good walk today. The excuse Mrs. Huo made was that she wanted to buy some books and check out her dowry shop.
Little Huo An wanted to go with them, but Luo Chaoyan remembered that he had not helped just now and refused to take him.
Old Madam Huo did not make things difficult for her and took little Huo An to play in the yard.
Luo Chaoyan took the two girls, Fengli and Shulan, and left the Huo Mansion in a carriage.
In the carriage, Luo Chaoyan changed into a maid's clothes and asked Fengli to change into a woman's clothes. They were going to the pharmacy to see a doctor to get a prescription for contraception, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they had to disguise themselves.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the medicinal hall, the three of them got off.
Luo Chaoyan and Shu Lan, one on each side, supported Fengli, who was wearing a hat, and walked into the herbal medicine hall.
"Sir, do you want to get some medicine or see a doctor?" the waiter at the pharmacy came running over and asked.
Luo Chaoyan said, "Our wife is feeling unwell and wants to see a doctor."
The waiter nodded and led them to the doctor who was seeing the patients in the backyard.
The doctor was an elderly man with a wisp of white beard hanging from his chin. His features were friendly and he had the aura of a miracle doctor.
The old doctor asked Fengli to sit opposite him, asked her to put her hand on the small pillow, and asked, "Madam, where is the discomfort?"
Luo Chaoyan and Shu Lan looked around and said, "Doctor, our wife has something to hide that she wants to talk to you about alone. I wonder..."
After all, the old doctor had been seeing patients for many years and had seen all kinds of people. He knew that some wealthy families had some obscure secrets that were difficult to tell, so he asked the waiter to go out and closed the door.
Seeing that there was no need to worry, Luo Chaoyan asked Fengli to take off the hat on her head.
The old doctor felt sorry for the lady when he saw that she had a big, red birthmark on her originally pretty face.
Fengli began her performance, looking at the doctor sadly and said, "Doctor, I didn't scare you, did I?"
The old doctor shook his head.
"I have a miserable life. I was born with a scary face and people dislike me. If my family wasn't wealthy, I probably wouldn't have gotten married yet. But... wuwu..."
"I thought I was marrying a good husband, but I didn't expect him to be such a ruthless person. He married me just to get my family's property... wuwu... I absolutely cannot let him succeed."
The old doctor was a little confused by her words. He didn't quite understand how this was related to medical treatment.
Feng Li Lihua said with tears in her eyes, "I have decided to separate from him in a few days, so I would like to ask the old doctor to prescribe some contraceptive prescriptions for me. I absolutely cannot have a child with such a ruthless heart."
Shu Lan's lips twitched as she watched her showing off her acting. Although she knew it was all acting and just a set of rhetoric, she always felt a little uneasy. Thinking of her cold and sharp master, she felt a chill in her heart. I hope the master will never know about this.
After hearing her story, the old doctor finally understood the purpose of her visit and expressed deep sympathy for her. He said, "Contraceptive pills are not good for women's health. Let me write you some recipes and medicinal diets. These recipes and medicinal diets are almost as effective as contraceptive prescriptions and will not harm your body."
Luo Chaoyan was immediately happy when she heard this. From then on, she wouldn't have to drink the smelly contraceptive soup anymore.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, doctor." Pineapple wiped her tears and said.
Looking at the menu handed over by the old doctor, Luo Chaoyan finally felt relieved.
When the three of them left the backyard and walked to the medicinal hall, Luo Chaoyan saw a cool and graceful figure walking in slowly, surrounded by maids.
The herbal medicine hall, which had been somewhat noisy at first, suddenly became silent, with everyone staring at the beautiful figure. I was afraid that breathing too much would disturb the beauty.
Luo Chaoyan couldn't help but sigh that this person was so beautiful that she was a sight to behold wherever she went.
Although Shi Menglian was used to such looks, she still didn't like it and frowned slightly.
Seeing the girl like this, the maid next to her said to the waiter of the herbal medicine shop, "We need to get some medicine."
The waiter quickly came to his senses and asked attentively, "What medicine do you want, young lady?"
The girl handed over a prescription.
After the waiter took the prescription, he started to prepare the medicine.
In fact, Luo Chaoyan was quite curious. Isn't this Miss Shi a relative of the Liang family? She also lives in the Liang family. There should be a doctor in her house. Why does she have to come here in person to get the medicine? Unless...unless you have the same unspeakable secret as her. Her curiosity was suddenly ignited, but she thought that the purpose of her trip should not be made public, so she had to give up the idea.
"Let's go." Luo Chaoyan whispered to Fengli and the other person.
Shi Menglian fell into deep thought when she saw them leaving. She always felt that she had seen those two girls somewhere before...
After leaving the herbal medicine hall, the three returned to the carriage and asked the driver to take them to Xiangsulou.
In the carriage, Shu Lan used the medicine prepared early in the morning to wipe off the birthmark on Fengli's face. This birthmark was applied with medicine, so it must be removed with medicine.
"Young Madam, how is my acting?" Pineapple said with a smile.
Luo Chaoyan nodded and praised, "Not bad, you portrayed the resentment of a resentful woman to perfection."
Fengli asked, "Then Madam, can I order a few more snacks later?"
Luo Chaoyan said proudly: "Of course, our pineapple's acting is so good, we must reward her well."
Shu Lan saw Fengli's satisfied face and smiled, "Madam, for her own good, you should let her eat less. Look at how fat she is getting. She might not be able to get married in the future."
Fengli waved her hands and said, "That's great. I don't want to get married. I just want to be a lazy young lady for the rest of my life."
Luo Chaoyan joked, "Pineapple, you'd better eat less, otherwise you will become an old maid and people outside will say that I am not virtuous."
Fengli and Shulan looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. As expected, the young lady is still as thick-skinned as ever. I don't have a clear idea of whether I am virtuous or not.
Xiangsulou is a famous dim sum restaurant in Kyoto, specializing in making all kinds of delicious and exquisite dim sum. Not only that, Xiangsulou also performs some famous Kyoto operas. It is very popular among dignitaries, so the price of the tea-flavored dim sum at Xiangsulou is quite high.
If you don't book the private rooms at Xiangsulou in advance, it will be difficult to find a seat as soon as you enter the restaurant.
Luo Chaoyan didn't care. In her opinion, sitting in a private room was boring. She pulled Shu Lan and they found a corner in the hall and sat down.
The waiter came over with a teapot in his hand and asked with a smile, "What snacks and tea would you like to drink, my three guests?"
Pineapple looked at Luo Chaoyan expectantly.
Luo Chao said, "Don't you have a new dessert? Bring some up."
The waiter smiled and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Yes, the latest snacks include Yuanyang Pastry, Crystal Osmanthus Cake, Sesame Jelly Cake..."
Luo Chaoyan nodded, "Come up here."
"By the way, what kind of play are you guys going to perform later?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, you are very lucky today. The play we are performing today is the play "Fox Demon" written by Mr. Nanshan, a famous storyteller in Kyoto."
hehe!
Luo Chaoyan was speechless. Wasn't this the same script that she had said was tacky and unoriginal a few days ago?
