Chapter 83 Preparation
"I'll report this matter first. It's not surprising that one person is missing since the emperor is far away. No one will track it down." The village chief spoke casually, but he was not at ease at all.
After all, he is a wanted criminal of the imperial court. If he is really blamed by the higher-ups, he cannot bear such a heavy responsibility alone.
Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.
This house was not soundproof, and Shen Jinan, who was performing acupuncture in the house, raised his eyebrows when he heard these words.
It was probably because Shen Xitang and the others couldn't stand this hardship and tried to find another way.
They were just some insignificant little incidents, and she didn't take them to heart.
She has recently been preparing to set up a stall. The craftsmen will deliver the custom-made shelves today, and Shen Jinan is rushing back to inspect the goods.
"Auntie's health is much better. She won't need acupuncture after today. I'll prescribe a new prescription later. Let's drink it for a week and see how it goes." After explaining all the precautions to the village chief bit by bit, Shen Jinan hurried to prescribe the prescription.
The village chief nodded blankly, looking at Chen with relief in his eyes.
Chen's face was also full of smiles. She had clearly felt changes in her body in the past few days.
Before, it was extremely difficult for her to get out of bed, but now she can just take a walk in the yard.
These were all Shen Jinan’s contributions, she remembered them clearly in her heart and was full of gratitude to her.
"Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Shen. Why don't you stay and have a simple meal today?"
If it weren't for Doctor Shen, she probably wouldn't have made it to the New Year, let alone see Heng'er.
"I have something to do today, thank you for your kindness, auntie." Shen Jinan's hands kept moving as he handed the list to the village chief.
"Doctor Shen is busy, so we won't keep you any longer." Noticing that Shen Jinan was a little anxious, the village chief guessed that she had other patients to see, so he didn't keep her and quickly sent her out.
Shen Jinan was their savior. If he delayed the treatment of other patients and angered those important figures, he would feel bad.
Knowing that he also meant well, Shen Jinan nodded and hurriedly got on the carriage and left.
In the inner city house, Hongniang and several children looked at the huge creature in the yard with curiosity.
"Is this made from the drawing my sister drew?" She touched the groove curiously and looked around.
This thing is similar to the ox cart that the villagers usually use, but it looks like a cabinet with two large cylindrical grooves and a lid.
There are two small doors on the side that can be opened to store things.
The bottom part looks like an ox cart, usually with two wheels and a handle for pushing it.
There are still some round holes in the four corners, I don’t know what they are used for.
This was a blueprint drawn by Shen Jinan, who found the best craftsmen to make it overnight.
Having never seen such a new object, Hongniang looked around, as if thinking about its usefulness.
"Has it been delivered?" Shen Jinan walked in and was a little surprised to see the actual item. Carpenters nowadays are really fast.
She went forward to check it out and found that it was exactly what she wanted. She couldn't help but look at Hongniang with gratitude.
"The craftsman my sister found is really skilled. He made this cart quickly and well!"
Since it is a stall, a small cart is indispensable. Fortunately, Hongniang found a craftsman who can make it.
"I don't quite understand what this thing is used for." Hongniang has always been a straightforward person, and she asks when she doesn't understand.
"This is where we'll put the food we want to sell. The small cabinet below can store some dishes and chopsticks. If it's hot or rainy, we can even set up a shed here..."
Shen Jinan demonstrated to them how to use the cart on the spot, and Hongniang nodded frequently. It was great!
"You're such a talented sister for coming up with such an ingenious setup!"
She had a hunch that if Shen Jinan went into business, he would definitely not be worse than herself.
"What Madam makes must be extraordinary." Gu Yanqing looked at Shen Jinan with a smile in his eyes.
Why did he suddenly praise himself so seriously? Shen Jinan tilted his head slightly, and the tip of his ear turned red.
This was just something she made based on reference to the vendors in her previous life, so she sounded a little guilty when she was praised like this.
"Sister, what kind of business are you planning to do?" Hongniang was a little worried.
If you set up a stall, there will be restrictions on what you sell.
If you make cooked food, it may be difficult to preserve it after a whole day. It is even more impossible to make it now because time simply does not allow it.
"You'll know when it opens the day after tomorrow." Shen Jinan smiled mysteriously and kept it a secret.
If you want to do it, you have to do something different, something that makes people feel fresh and new.
Although the climate in the southeast is special, it is more favorable for Shen Jinan.
Seeing her so confident, Gu Yanqing couldn't take his eyes off her.
He walked to Shen Jinan, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Then look forward to the surprise that Madam will give us in two days."
Shen Jinan was a little uncomfortable being so close all of a sudden. He glanced at Hong Niangzi secretly. Her eyes were still on the cart, and her expression became much more natural.
Turning his head to look at Gu Yanqing, Shen Jinan smiled.
She knew that no matter what she did, Gu Yanqing would support her.
Only now...
Shen Jinan felt a little confused. Did he have the same thoughts as himself?
"Are you worried about me?" Shen Jinan concealed his thoughts, looked at Gu Yanqing with a smile, and asked tentatively.
"Of course, you are my wife!" He touched her head gently.
Shen Jinan was a little stunned. What did he mean by this?
Is that what she thought?
"What's wrong?" A deep and magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
Shen Jinan looked up in panic, but saw his black eyes looking at him intently.
She just felt like she was about to sink into it.
"No, nothing, I'm thinking about setting up a stall the day after tomorrow." Shen Jinan turned around in panic and fled, "There are still some details to be finalized, I'm leaving first."
Even Hongniang could see something was going on from the back.
She put away the attitude she had in front of Shen Jinan, and looked at Gu Yanqing with a smile, as if she was judging something.
"Do you have something to say?" Gu Yanqing frowned, always feeling that Hongniang looked at him with deep meaning.
"Yes, there are some things to say." Lady Hong paused, her fingers curled slightly, her eyes far away. "Never mind, I'm just meddling in other people's business."
Let's wait and see, maybe she is thinking wrongly.
"Madam calls you sister, so just say whatever you want to say." Gu Yanqing pondered.
Hongniang now holds a certain position in Shen Jinan's heart, and he inexplicably cares about the unspoken words.
"Then I won't say anything." Hongniang flicked her sleeves. She always did things according to her own will, and no one could influence her thoughts.
However, the way she looked at Gu Yanqing seemed to show that she cared very much about Shen Jinan.
