Doctor Su handed a purse to Tangli, a little embarrassed: "Tangli, the leaves of silver bell grass are very valuable and hard to come by. Take this little money first. I will give you more when I earn more money..."
Tang Li didn't answer: "No need, Doctor Su, I've already told you, we picked this herb together, and this leaf is yours!"
"No, I didn't do anything, how can I take it for free..."
"Sister-in-law, this illness needs to be cured by taking medicine. You can keep this money to buy medicine for her!"
Doctor Su had complicated thoughts.
This medicine was discovered by Tangli, and he just helped to collect it, without doing anything. He knew that Tangli said this because she didn't want him to feel indebted...
However, he really had no other choice. He only earned so little money, and his wife couldn't stop taking medicine. Especially now that he had this magical medicine, combined with other medicines, maybe she would be cured in a year or two.
Doctor Su put away the purse and bowed deeply to Tang Li. "Tang Li, I, Su Taiyuan, will remember your kindness. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I, Su Taiyuan, will definitely do it!"
Tang Li looked at the middle-aged man bowing to her and was suddenly stunned.
Su is too far?
In the novel, there is a miraculous doctor named Su Taiyuan, who was very poor in his youth and lived in seclusion in the mountains. He returned to the capital in his forties. He was also a deeply affectionate man. After his wife died of illness, he never remarried.
In this case, it’s basically correct!
Doctor Su is truly the miracle doctor!
This Dr. Su is a big shot in the original novel!
He was the founder of Su's acupuncture and the author of many famous medical books, whose names have been passed down through the ages. He was the foremost person in the Imperial Hospital and the person the old emperor relied on and valued the most in his later years.
The heroine of the novel, Gu Ying, is Su Taiyuan's apprentice. The hero's ability to become the crown prince relies heavily on the relationship between the heroine and Doctor Su.
First it was Xu Jue, then Doctor Su. Actually, Qinghe County is hiding so many important figures!
"Husband~" A gentle voice came from the door.
Su Taiyuan stood up straight, smiled at Tang Li, and walked in.
"Ma'am, I'm here."
When Su Taiyuan came out again, he was holding two purses in his hands: "Tangli, you don't need money, but these are purses embroidered by my wife, you must accept them."
Tang Li was not polite and took it. The two purses were a pair, each embroidered with a mandarin duck. The mandarin ducks were actually three-dimensional and lifelike!
"Sister-in-law embroiders so well." Tang Li exclaimed.
Through a door, Madam Su's voice came from the room: "I embroider when I have nothing to do. If you like, I will embroider another handkerchief for you! As long as you don't dislike me..."
She had nothing to do, so she embroidered to pass the time. Because she was suffering from tuberculosis, no one dared to touch her for fear of passing on the disease. Her embroidery, however, was not wanted, so it just piled up. Now, hearing Tang Li's voice filled with joy, clearly liking her and not disliking her, she felt very happy.
"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you. I'll go back first." Tang Li waved towards the room and went back with the medicine.
…
From that day on, Wei Qing's leg began to heal.
Tang Li didn't let him weave the bamboo basket anymore, so he just lay there obediently while applying medicine and giving acupuncture.
"Just cooperate with Doctor Su and you'll be fine in two months. We have rice and money at home, so you don't have to worry about these things!"
Wei Qing also wanted to get better soon, so at the strong request of his young wife, he obediently lay down to recuperate.
Tang Li was counting the bamboo baskets in the yard. There were thirty-five of them in total. He thought about selling them on the street to get some money to buy some clothes for the babies. Wei Qing was still wearing his thin shirt and didn't have a cotton jacket.
"Sister, are you going to town?" Xu Jue asked, grabbing the corner of Tang Li's clothes.
This kid has indeed been smart since he was a child and is very good at observing people's words and expressions. When he saw Tangli counting the baskets, he knew that Tangli was going to the town.
"Let's go tomorrow morning." Tang Li said.
"Sister, I'll go with you and help you carry the bamboo basket!"
This kid was smart and fast, so Tangli agreed.
The next morning, the two set off.
By the time the sun was at its highest point, the two of them had just arrived in town.
The market was a little more lively than before, so the two of them found a spot and started setting up their stall.
Tangli’s backpacks are very distinctive, all of them are small, some have rabbit ears and some have flowers on them.
Xu Jue was a clever boy who knew he was a model. He walked around panting with a basket on his back, and soon attracted the attention of many women and children.
The ordinary bamboo baskets were sold for twenty coins each, but Tangli's were sold for forty coins each. However, they were sold out quickly, and Tangli suddenly had more than one or two taels of silver in his hand.
Tang Li weighed one tael and four qian of silver and took Xu Jue into the largest clothing store in town.
Xu Jue tugged at Tang Li's clothes: "Sister, someone is following us."
"Yes, it's those two human traffickers." Tang Li said.
Xu Jue looked at her in surprise. She actually discovered it?!
She remained so calm after discovering it. Xu Jue was a little worried at first, but seeing her so calm, he felt reassured!
Tang Li ignored the two traffickers and wandered around the clothing store. She picked out a cotton-padded jacket for Wei Qing, spending nearly a tael of silver. But the jacket was truly wonderful, thick yet not bulky. After all, he was a villain, so he had to buy some nice clothes for the winter.
After Tangli bought the cotton-padded jacket, the shopkeeper's attitude towards her suddenly became much warmer.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I want to ask you something. Do you buy embroidery?"
Embroidery is a fashion, just like buying designer shoes today, it requires a certain level of financial support. Therefore, there's not much of a market for embroidery in this small town. If there were to be a market, it would have to be at least in Qinghe County.
A shop as large as this one might have one in Qinghe County. Even if it didn't, the owner of this shop was well-informed and might have connections. This was why Tangli chose to visit this shop.
"Miss, do you have any embroidery?" Shopkeeper Lin asked, "We have very high standards for the embroidery we accept. Ordinary embroidery will not do."
Many farm girls also embroider, but their skills are mediocre, the stitches are rough, and the patterns are very rustic. They only work with professional embroiderers. If Tangli hadn't bought the clothes and had a good temperament, the shopkeeper wouldn't have said this to her.
"Then take a look at my embroidery." Tang Li said, handing his purse to the shopkeeper.
From Tang Li's perspective, Madam Su's embroidery skills were absolutely top-notch, but she wondered what her level would be like in this era...
The shopkeeper picked up the purse and looked at it over and over again. The more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became.
"This is three-dimensional embroidery! The threading and stitching are all top-notch. Miss, did you embroider this?" The shopkeeper was a little excited.
"No, it's one of my sisters." Tang Li knew something was up, so he asked, "Boss, how much do you charge for an embroidery like this?"
The shopkeeper found it difficult to judge for a moment. He always felt that the quality of this embroidery was beyond his understanding.
"Girl, how about this, can you leave this purse here and let me take a look at it for our boss? Can you come to the store directly to see me in a few days?"
Tangli agreed.
"Girl, you can't sell it to anyone else. We will definitely give you a satisfactory price!" the shopkeeper said again.
Tang Li nodded: "Okay, I'll come over in a few days."
