Chapter 19 Rock Honey
Shi Mi turned around and looked at the trampled manuscripts on the ground. A trace of heartache flashed across her face. She hurried forward to pick up a few books, carefully dusted them off, and straightened the creases before answering, "Yes!"
"Can you show it to me?" Yuan Ziyu asked with a smile!
Shi Mi was a little nervous when she saw Yuan Ziyu dressed like a wealthy family, but when she saw her gentle expression, her nervousness subsided a little. She smiled and handed a few handwritten books to Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou took the book, flipped through it briefly, and asked with a smile, "Did you copy these books?"
Shi Mi nodded and said, "Well, the bookstore owner was looking for someone to copy books, so I took the job to supplement the family income!"
"Do you understand medicine?" Yuan Ziyu looked at Shi Mi's appearance carefully, suppressed the waves in his heart, and asked in a calm tone.
These are some basic medical books, and they were written by the same person as the ones she bought in the bookstore.
"Yeah!" Shi Mi felt a little relieved when she said this: "My father is a doctor. I have been following him since I was a child to collect herbs and make medicine, so I know a little bit!"
Yuan Ziyou nodded: "This handwriting is quite beautiful!"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady!" Shi Mi smiled sheepishly, "But I only know a little bit!"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and closed the book, then handed it to Qingzhi: "How much are these books? I'll buy them!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Mi hurriedly said, "Miss, if you like it, just take it. As long as you don't mind that the book is damaged!"
"How can that be? I love this book so much, how can I take it from you for free!" Yuan Ziyu said and ordered Qingying: "Give this girl ten taels of silver!"
"Yes!" Qingying replied, and then took out a five-liang silver ingot and five-liang silver change from her purse. She smiled and said to Shimi, "I think you need to buy some more for the household, so this silver change will be useful for you to spend!"
Shi Mi waved her hands and said, "That's too much! I only have five books. Even if they were sold to a bookstore in good condition, each would only cost 500 coins. What's more, these books are already damaged and not worth that much money! Besides, the young lady just saved me, how can I ask for more money from her!"
"Just take it!" Qingying knew Yuan Ziyu's temper, so she stepped forward and stuffed the silver into Shi Mi's hand!
Shi Mi hurriedly said: "It's really too much, I can't accept it!"
"You take it!" Yuan Ziyu said, "If you really feel bad, you can help me with something!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Mi hurriedly said, "Miss, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation!"
"I haven't thought about it yet. When I think of it, I'll let my maid come to find you, okay?" Yuan Ziyu thought about it and smiled!
"Okay!" Shi Mi nodded hurriedly. "My name is Shi Mi. I'm sixteen years old this year. I live in Xinghua Village, twenty miles outside the south city. If you have anything to tell me, just send someone to find me!"
"Shi Mi!" Yuan Ziyu's lips curled up: "What a good name!"
"My father named me this. He said that Shimi means sugar, and he hopes that my life will be sweeter!" Shimi smiled.
"Is your father the doctor in Xinghua Village?" Yuan Ziyu asked again.
"No!" Shi Mi's expression darkened as she spoke of this. "My father passed away last year, and my mother and I came to the capital to look for our relatives. However, they had already moved away. We had no choice but to look for a place to stay. Luckily, the head of Xinghua Village took us in!"
"That's right!" Yuan Ziyou whispered, then smiled at Shi Mi and said, "Okay, you go back first. I'll send someone to find you if I need anything!"
"Okay!" Shi Mi picked up the bag on the ground and bowed solemnly to Yuan Ziyu: "Shi Mi thanks Miss for saving me!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile!
After Shi Mi walked away, Qingzhi looked at the books in her hand and asked in confusion, "Second Miss, didn't we just buy these books at the bookstore?"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and looked at Qingzhi's puzzled face: "I'm showing this to you. If anyone in our yard catches a cold in the future, you'll be the one to blame!"
Qingzhi's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she immediately put on a bitter face: "No, Second Miss, I don't understand. You can't point your finger at me when you're seeing a doctor. Please spare me!"
Yuan Ziyu and Qingying smiled at each other and walked towards the shop nearby.
Before entering the shop, Yuan Ziyu glanced at Shi Mi's figure walking away, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that this time when she went out of the house, she would meet Sister Shi from her previous life!
Shi Mi quickly walked into a medicine shop. When a woman in her forties saw her, she happily stood up from her stool and said, "Mi'er, you're back!"
Shi Mi hurried forward to support the woman: "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Much better, I'm fine now!" Shi Mu said happily: "Thanks to Shopkeeper Lin!"
Shi Mi hurriedly thanked Shopkeeper Lin: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Lin!"
Shi Mu suddenly fell ill this time, and she recovered thanks to a few injections given by the shopkeeper Lin of this medicine shop.
Shopkeeper Lin twirled his beard and said with a smile, "No need to thank me. The herbs you prepared are quite good. Just send me more in the future!"
"No problem!" Shi Mi responded with a smile!
Shi Mi picked up the bamboo basket next to Shi Mu, and then helped Shi Mu to say goodbye to Manager Lin.
"Mi'er, have you handed in all the work?" asked Shi Mu!
"Yeah!" Shi Mi smiled and nodded, forgetting the fact that Liu Haozhe had kidnapped someone on the street. "I met a noble person today and got a lot of money. Mom, we can buy some more rice and flour to take back!"
After hearing this, Shi Mu was immediately delighted: "This is really great!"
Then, Mother Shi sighed and said, "It's all my fault that I'm not strong enough. I've delayed you. If only..."
"Mom!" Shi Mi interrupted her mother: "It's okay, this is fine too!"
"Girls have to get married eventually. Mi'er, you are already sixteen years old now. Why don't we ask someone to take a message back? If everything is OK, then..." Shi Mu's face was full of worry.
"Mom!" Shi Mi said, "Since we've already left, we have nothing to do with that place anymore. Besides, the engagement has been called off. Even if it hadn't been called off, I wouldn't go to a family like that!"
"Oh!" Shi's mother saw that Shi Mi had made up her mind, so she sighed and said nothing!
Seeing that Shi Mu was in a low mood, Shi Mi changed the subject: "Mom, we have plenty of money today. If you want to eat anything, just tell me!"
Mother Shi laughed and said, "That's not how you live your life. You have to be thrifty and careful with your budget!"
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you!"
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they bought a bamboo basket of food and then took an ox cart back to Xinghua Village.
