The twenty taels of medical fee given by the Mu family earlier gave Yu Zhoushi other ideas in her mind. She decided not to confront Yu Jiao anymore. Instead of making things difficult for her, it would be better to do as the master said and coax her to earn more money for the family.
Seeing that Yu Zhou had suddenly changed her attitude, Yu Jiao took two more peaches and stuffed them into the hands of Yu Fuling and Wang Mengyan respectively. Then she grabbed a handful of peaches and apricots and handed them to Song, asking her to take them back to the second room to eat.
Otherwise, none of these fruits would fall into the hands of the second and first wives, and would definitely be left for the third wife by the biased Yu Zhou.
Seeing Yu Jiao being so blatant, the smile on Yu Zhou's face froze, but because of the presence of Zhang Qin and his wife, she ended up saying nothing.
Yu Ruhai took the opportunity to call Yu Zhixing aside and told him to keep a close eye on Meng Yujiao. If Meng Yujiao ran away, he would not have to go home.
Yu Zhixing understood what his grandfather meant, knowing that his grandfather now valued Meng Yujiao, but he felt that Meng Yujiao would not run away secretly. That day on Qingyan Mountain, when it was raining heavily, she went out to collect herbs for Fifth Brother without caring about her own safety. She must have some affection for Fifth Brother in her heart.
After explaining things to Yu Zhixing, Yu Ruhai packed up his medicine box and gave it to Yu Jiao. Since he was a doctor going to Zhang's house to see a patient, he should act like a doctor. In fact, Yu Jiao had no use for the things in the medicine box, but he still asked Yu Zhixing to take it.
The group went out. When Zhang Zhuangtou and his wife came, they drove a donkey cart and tied it outside the Yu family's yard. Zhang Qinshi helped Yu Jiao get on the donkey cart, and then she and Yu Fuling also climbed on the donkey cart. Yu Zhixing sat in the front with Zhang Zhuangtou who was driving the cart.
The ride was bumpy all the way and Yu Jiao's butt hurt from sitting on the wooden cart. She forced herself to pay attention to the scenery along the road and only then did she feel a little better. Half an hour later, the donkey cart finally entered Qingshui Town.
The town is bustling with people, with bluestone-paved roads crisscrossing each other. There are many shops on both sides of the streets, and there are also small vendors selling things in baskets on the roadside.
The donkey cart passed through the intersection, and Yu Fuling, who was sitting next to Yu Jiao, suddenly said, "That's Huichun Hall."
Yu Jiao had already smelled the aroma of medicine. She followed Yu Fuling's gaze and saw that Huichuntang's shop was very conspicuous. It had the largest storefront among the shops on the street, with a golden sign hanging on it. It was even more impressive than the restaurant she had seen before. At this moment, many patients were queuing up for medical treatment.
No wonder even the villagers know the reputation of Huichuntang.
The donkey cart slowly passed by the gate of Huichun Hall. Zhang Zhuangtou turned the cart and entered the alley to the east.
Jiang Qinghe, who was taking someone's pulse, looked up inadvertently and saw Yu Jiao's figure on the donkey cart. He thought he was dazzled, quickly withdrew his hand from taking the pulse, and hurried out of the drugstore. The donkey cart had gone far away. He could see Yu Jiao's back clearly on the cart. Just as he was about to call for help, the donkey cart had turned into the East Lane.
He couldn't help feeling a little dejected. Although he had hit a wall at Yu's house last time, Jiang Qinghe felt that Miss Meng seemed easy to talk to, and perhaps he could still get a prescription for carbuncle from her.
Jiang Qinghe thought that Meng Yujiao might have come to the town for something and would not leave for a while, so he ordered the medicine boy in the shop to chase the donkey cart that turned into the east alley, and he hurried into the inner room.
"Young Master, I just saw the little girl from the Yu family passing by the door of our shop!" Jiang Qinghe spoke to the young man who was lying on the couch in the house and hugging the beautiful maid.
The man called the Young Master did not even raise his head and said lazily, "What girl from the Yu family?"
The beautiful maid in her arms did not stop moving. She picked a grape from the fruit plate on the soft low table with her slender, white fingers, peeled it, leaving only the bright green flesh, and fed it into the young man's mouth.
