"Miss Wu, have you got the medicine?"
Wen Luoxin was brought back to her senses by this voice and hurriedly said, "I'll be there soon, please wait."
She skillfully picked up the medicine and handed it to the patient's family.
As it got darker, more and more people came to the pharmacy, all with the same illness.
According to her memories of her previous life, this should be the time when the plague first broke out. In her previous life, she suffered a lot with her master, and even she herself was infected with the plague. She put a lot of thought into it and finally developed a prescription for the plague with her master.
Later, she followed Xiao Yunchen to the capital and took the half-moon jade pendant to the Taifu Mansion to recognize her relatives.
Unfortunately, it was too late, as the old lady of the Taifu Mansion had just passed away two months ago.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for her to recognize her relatives.
At the time when she traveled through time, the old lady of the Taifu Mansion should be suffering from illness.
If she went to the capital now to recognize her relatives and save the old lady, she would have a strong backer in her future days in the Taifu Mansion.
Moreover, the old lady of the Taifu Mansion was suffering from a chronic illness, and even the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless. If she could cure her, she would become famous in the capital.
But... Master would definitely not agree to her going to the capital now.
This matter cannot wait any longer.
The next day, the morning light was just beginning to brighten, and the sky, which had been raining for several days, finally cleared up on this day. It seemed that even God was helping her to move towards a better future.
Doctor Wu saw several outpatients last night and was sleeping soundly now.
Wen Luoxin left a letter and a plague prescription she had researched in her previous life, then took all her money, hired a carriage, and headed towards the capital.
————
In the pawnshop in the capital.
Li Sisi and Li Nian are still dressed as a young couple and come as a dowry.
After many contacts, they have become familiar with the shopkeeper.
Li Sisi and Li Nian, both holding large bags, said with a smile, "Boss, the old rules."
The two were no longer in the pawnshop lobby, but in the back room behind the screen on the east side of the shop.
The two men opened the package, and the shopkeeper was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
He looked at Li Nian and said, "My dear lady, your family seems to be very wealthy. The dowry you have received from me is nearly eight hundred taels."
Li Nian smiled slightly. "Fortunately, my father and brother are both merchants in Jiangnan. They have some assets, but they're not too wealthy."
The shopkeeper exclaimed in admiration, "Young lady, you are too modest."
After instructing the waiter to serve tea to the two people, the shopkeeper couldn't wait to start writing the list and calculating the bill.
Li Sisi and Li Nian were drinking tea calmly. Li Sisi was a little bored, so she curiously stretched her head to read what the shopkeeper had written.
Every time the shopkeeper wrote something, she would calculate the amount of silver in her mind.
When the shopkeeper finished writing the list and took out the abacus to prepare for the settlement, she directly reported the result: "The total is 398 taels of silver. According to the ratio you gave us, you should give us an additional 18 taels, 7 strings of cash and 92 coins."
"Little brother, have you figured it out again?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Sisi with amazement and admiration.
At the beginning, he looked down on this gigolo. In the past month, they came many times as the bride's dowry. It was obvious that this man was a Phoenix man with no ambition and no ability.
Later, as the dowry they received became so large and of such high quality, the shopkeeper even suspected that they were some kind of gangsters.
But if such a large number of items were lost in someone's home, someone would definitely look for them.
However, there has been no news of anyone losing property in the capital recently.
Until one day, Li Sisi was bored and watched the shopkeeper write a list. She directly reported the result by mental calculation.
The shopkeeper thought he was just talking nonsense and was disdainful. He calculated it again himself, and the result was exactly the same?
If it happened only once, the shopkeeper would have thought it was a coincidence, but since it happened every time afterwards, the shopkeeper felt that he finally understood why the young lady was willing to pawn her dowry to support this pretty boy.
It seems that this young man is really capable!
However, although the shopkeeper was curious, he did not ask any more questions.
The pawnshop’s rules are that they do not ask about the origin of the items, the identity of the customers, or the private affairs of the customers.
I completely changed my opinion of Li Sisi in my heart.
At this time, Li Sisi once again calculated the answer in advance, and the shopkeeper could only be amazed.
The two best friends came out of the pawnshop and went straight to Qiong Yu Tower.
I walked to the private room on the second floor with ease and ordered a few side dishes.
Li Sisi's eyes lit up as she whispered, "Our dowry is finally complete, which is a big relief for us."
"Excluding the odds and ends, we now have a total of 1,200 taels of silver. According to current prices, it's enough for us to buy a small courtyard in a small border town, buy two maids, and rent a shop to earn some money to pass the time."
Li Nian sipped her tea while fantasizing about her upcoming life: "You'll be the shopkeeper, I'll be the chef, and we'll have a dog and a cat. If we can also raise two children, it will be perfect."
Li Sisi took a sip of tea, glanced at her guiltily, and said tentatively: "Niannian, there is something I want to ask you."
Li Nian looked at her with a frown: "Well, ask."
"I see that you have a good relationship with Big Brother recently. If the heroine comes back in two months, but Big Brother doesn't fall in love with her, will you still be willing to leave?"
After hearing what Li Sisi said, Li Nian's curved brows calmed down and he looked at her meaningfully.
He asked calmly, "Sisi, if Xiao Yunchen still treats you the same way he does now, will you still be willing to leave?"
Li Sisi lowered her eyes guiltily and whispered, "I, I mainly want to see if you leave. If you leave, I will leave too."
"I'm not important, Sisi. I've always been with you. Even in a different world, my attitude won't change." Li Nian paused and continued, "In fact, Xiao Yunyu doesn't like the real me, but the obedient and well-behaved wife. But I'm just pretending to be obedient."
"If he knew the real me, he would never like it."
"But it doesn't really matter whether he likes it or not. If you don't want to leave, I can stay with you."
Li Sisi frowned, "But Xiao Yunyu is the male lead. If you don't leave, you'll be taking the female lead's place. What if the female lead turns out to be very powerful? You'll still end up with the ending in the book."
"No, we can't gamble!"
Li Nian comforted him, "It's not that serious. I can divorce Xiao Yunyu, or he can divorce his wife. It doesn't matter to me. I can just buy a small courtyard and open a shop in the capital and live a comfortable life."
"How can we live comfortably like this?" Li Sisi regretted asking her this question just now. She knew very well that Nian Nian always considered her first, but didn't care about her situation at all.
It seems that she doesn't care how her life turns out.
"How much health do you have now?" Li Sisi changed the subject.
Since we agreed at the beginning to go together, then let’s go together!
Men are like clothes, and best friends are like siblings.
