Chapter 130 You are late
"I didn't save you, I bought you."
Zhou Yunshu turned around and looked up at the tall and strong blacksmith. "I don't have the habit of doing business at a loss. I remember you are the same."
The blacksmith thought that there were few people who were not afraid of him when they first met him, but the woman in front of him and the little maid behind her showed no fear in their voices or eyes.
"Have you really seen me?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
The blacksmith was silent.
"Zhanchuan."
This is the name on the blacksmith's indenture.
Zhou Yunshu saw Zhan Chuan looking at her and smiled, "That's a good name."
Thanks to Zhanchuan, when the three of them were walking on the road, no one dared to approach them.
Zhan Chuan followed Zhou Yunshu all the way to the clinic and was about to enter when he saw the terrified looks of the other people in the clinic looking at him.
Zhanchuan looked at his foot that was about to step into the clinic, hesitated for a moment, and then retracted it.
Zhou Yunshu turned around and looked at Zhan Chuan, who was standing behind her like an iron wall, and said, "Come in."
He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yunshu, wondering if she had seen the fear of him in the eyes of those people.
"Come in, we are here to seek medical treatment. How can the doctor treat your injuries if you don't come in?"
Seeing Zhan Chuan hesitating, Chun Que walked up to him, grabbed his arm and dragged him into the clinic.
Zhan Chuan looked at Chun Que in shock after being dragged in. He always thought that his strength was unmatched, but just now, this little girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old actually pulled him in from outside the door easily.
"Such a delay." Chunque muttered.
Zhan Chuan: “…”
The old doctor in the clinic looked up at the "giant" in front of him and took a moment to react before saying, "Please sit down."
Maybe Zhanchuan was too tall, so a normal chair seemed a little small for him.
Zhan Chuan stretched out his scarred arm. The old doctor felt it and looked at him and said, "You're in good shape, but you haven't had a full meal in a long time, right?"
If you only look at Zhanchuan's physique, you really can't imagine that he has been hungry for a long time.
Zhanchuan nodded. He ate more than the average person. Later, he was framed and thrown into prison. When he was released, he was sold again. Until now, it has been almost a month, and he has never had a full meal.
"And there are external injuries."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, the old doctor asked Zhan Chuan to follow him into the inner room.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhan Chuan, who had washed and applied medicine, came out wearing tattered clothes.
"He has a lot of external injuries, but many of them have been treated well before."
Zhou Yunshu nodded. It seemed that the treatment that Huang Yaren had mentioned before was done with great dedication.
Isn't he doing his best? After all, the Yellow Tooth people had planned to rely on Zhan Chuan's special physique to sell him to the He family, the Lu family or various shipping companies to be a thug.
Huang Ya Ren had already decided on the price, and he wouldn't sell it for less than twenty taels of silver.
Who would have thought that it would be sold to Zhou Yunshu for five taels of silver.
"This packet is for external application, and this packet is for internal use." The medicine boy glanced at Zhan Chuan and handed the medicine in his hand to him.
Zhan Chuan took it in his hand and muttered, "Thank you."
After the three of them left the clinic, they went straight to the clothing store. Zhan Chuan was tall and strong, and there was no size that fit him in the clothing store.
There was no other way. She couldn't let him keep wearing the tattered clothes that didn't keep out the wind at all. Zhou Yunshu directly paid more money and asked the tailor to make a set of clothes for Zhanchuan first. No matter what it looked like, as long as it was wearable and could keep him warm, it was fine.
While Zhan Chuan was sitting in the backyard of the clothing shop with his upper body naked and wearing only shorts, waiting for the tailor to alter his clothes, Zhou Yunshu took Chunque to the silk shop.
As soon as they entered the door, someone said to them, "Why are you here so late? It's almost noon!"
The one who started to complain was the maidservant beside Jiang Rusi.
In fact, if it was yesterday or when she first arrived at the silk shop, she would not have dared to speak to Zhou Yunshu and Chunque like that. After all, she still remembered clearly how Chunque knocked her down on the boat.
But they had been waiting for them in the silk shop for nearly an hour, and all their good tempers had worn off.
The second before Zhou Yunshu and Chunque came in, the little maid was already trying to persuade her mistress to leave.
Jiang Rusi could hold on better than her maid. She looked at Zhou Yunshu, whose veil was half lifted, and said, "Madam Wu, you are late."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't agree to meet you."
"I'm just here to pick out some suitable fabrics for my home. I didn't come here specifically to see you."
In fact, after seeing Zhan Chuan, Zhou Yunshu almost forgot that there was someone like Jiang Rusi waiting for her.
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, she ignored Jiang Rusi and her servant and went to the stand to choose the cloth she liked.
Although there are many clothes in ready-made clothing shops, the women in the family still prefer to make some clothes by themselves because they understand their own preferences better.
Rouge and crabapple red are more festive and suitable for wearing during the New Year. Light crimson and peach color can be used to match the colors of clothes; Xixi looks good in goose yellow bat-patterned satin, apricot yellow is beautiful, and Beijing green is also good.
Women are addicted to shopping. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yunshu went back and forth and selected twenty pieces of cloth, including cotton and silk.
Since they couldn't carry it, they asked the store staff to deliver it to their home.
Since they bought a lot, the people in the silk shop were naturally very willing to do so.
While Zhou Yunshu was selecting the fabric, Jiang Rusi and her servant did not leave. Instead, after Zhou Yunshu finished selecting the fabric, they stepped forward again and said, "Madam Wu, it's getting late. Why not give Rusi a chance to treat you to a banquet?"
Zhou Yunshu didn't refuse, but just said, "Of course, you can, but you have to wait a while."
The little maid behind Jiang Rusi's face turned green when she heard that they had to wait.
But Jiang Rusi said: "Okay, I wonder how long I have to wait?"
"Go to Zuixianlou first to find your place. I like quietness and I have a big appetite. I will come to find you in half an hour."
Jiang Rusi looked at Zhou Yunshu and took a deep breath silently. It is always better to make a request than to refuse directly.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Madam Wu to come to her appointment."
After Jiang Rusi left, Chunque looked at her master and said, "She is quite patient."
"If she couldn't even endure, she, a concubine's daughter, wouldn't have made it this far."
"Master, is she so anxious to see us because of what happened on the passenger ship?"
Zhou Yunshu thought of the map and took Chunque back to the clothing store. "Is it true? We'll know when we get to Zuixianlou."
They just came back when Zhan Chuan, wearing a brown and black robe, was trying on shoes in a clothing store. He couldn't find any suitable shoes, so he had to make do with a pair of slippers that didn't fit him.
Now the owner of the clothing shop is eager to arrange for Zhan Chuan to leave immediately. Since he came to the shop, no other customers have entered their store.
"Let's do this for now." After Zhou Yunshu paid the money, she said to Zhan Chuan, "Come back and pick up the clothes after they're made in the shop."
Zhan Chuan nodded.
"Let's go eat."
Free lunch means one less meal per day. Zhou Yunshu considers herself a frugal person and will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Besides, she also wanted to know why Jiang Rusi was looking for her.
But when Zhou Yunshu arrived at Zuixianlou and saw Jiang Rusi talking to He Nianzhang and Kang Jingyu, she was a little hesitant about whether to go in.
