The luggage was packed and the group sat in the carriage.
Shang Xingjian and Su Wanti were in the first carriage, Zhang Hehua and her fifth and sixth sisters were in the middle carriage, ten-year-old Su Chenzhi was driving, and An Jing was in the third carriage with his third and fourth brothers.
The sun was shining brightly, the warm breeze was blowing gently, and three carriages were moving along the official road, neither hurried nor slow.
There were a few pedestrians on the official road, and occasionally a fast horse ran by. Shang Xingjian sat on the shaft of the carriage, leaning back and talking to the people in the carriage.
The wheels rolled, the axles turned, and the wheels crushed the ground, making a "gurgling" sound.
The sound effectively masked the conversation between the two people.
The carriage door curtain was opened to both sides, and Su Wanti leaned forward to listen to the man speak.
"You mean, you know the old lady of the An family, and you can introduce me to the An family and treat her illness?" Su Wanti asked.
Shang Xingjian looked forward and replied softly:
"Yes. Given the status of the An family, Madam An only accepts consultations from imperial physicians and famous doctors in the capital. Miss Su, you are just a country doctor. You cannot see her with your status."
"But I can get you to meet Madam An and convince her to accept your treatment. If you can cure Madam An's headache, you'll become famous in Luzhou. Once you open your pharmacy, people will naturally come to patronize you. Moreover, if you can cure Madam An's stubborn illness, not only the An family in Luzhou, but even the An family in Beijing will remember your contribution and support you in opening your pharmacy."
Su Wanti frowned, "You know Madam An, so you can enter the An family by yourself. What do you need me to do?"
Shang Xingjian knew she was moved, so he said, "After entering Luzhou, I still can't reveal my identity and show my true face to others. I need you to continue to disguise me."
The skin dye prepared by Su Wanti will fade and needs to be recolored every two days.
Disguise tools are also used every day...
"Why do you want to help me?" Su Wanti asked.
Shang Xingjian chuckled, "Young lady, you're so cautious. Helping you is helping myself. After entering Luzhou City, I'll go to the An family. If you settle down somewhere else, it will be difficult for you and me to see each other. Then who will disguise myself for me every day?"
"It's easy to find a makeup artist, but it's hard to find a woman like Miss Su who's skilled in medicine, makeup, and disguise. If Miss Su leaves, what should I do? Do I have to learn from the An family and post a reward notice to find someone with superb disguise skills in Daning?"
Su Wanti pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved, "Okay, then I will follow you into the An family."
Shang Xingjian corrected her, "I followed the young lady into the An family."
Su Wanti frowned slightly, and doubt appeared in her clear eyes.
Shang Xingjian said, "When we get to Luzhou, young lady, take the Resurrection Herb to the An family to deliver the medicine. My friend and I will disguise ourselves as doctors and go with you to the An family. After you enter the An family and meet the housekeeper, I will find a way to get you to see Old Madam An."
"What about my family?"
"I'll ask my friend to pay for a house near An's home for them to live in. I'll also arrange for someone to protect them. Is that okay?"
Su Wanti curled her lips and smiled lightly, "Young Master's offer is irresistible."
Shang Xingjian turned around and looked at her, his eyes like melting ice and snow, warmth flowing.
In the sunlight, the fuzz on the woman's fair cheeks shone faintly, and her skin was pink, like a fresh and juicy peach.
Shang Xingjian's eyes dimmed slightly, and his mind was in turmoil. The beautiful face and smooth skin of the woman in front of him made him think of what happened last night.
He had just recovered from his hidden illness, and the function of a certain part of his body had finally returned to normal. Last night, he experienced sex for the first time, and the aftertaste was endless and he couldn't forget it...
His Adam's apple rolled and a burning sensation arose in his chest, and he couldn't help but move closer.
The woman reacted very quickly, raising her eyebrows slightly. After realizing his intention, she pulled down the door curtain. The dark curtain blocked the amorous man from the carriage.
"Sir, just drive carefully and don't think too much." The woman's voice came out slowly.
Shang Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the heat in his chest. He smiled helplessly and told himself not to be anxious.
After entering the An family, he found a way to make it impossible for her to leave.
As for why he wanted to keep Miss Su by his side, he still couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps it was her ruthless words in the morning that aroused his desire to win, or perhaps it was her superb medical skills and amazing disguise skills that made him appreciate her talent and want to recruit her to work for him in the future.
No matter what the reason was, at this moment, Shang Xingjian's mind was very clear: he wanted to keep Su Wanti by his side and bring her back to the capital.
Su Wanti still didn't know what Shang Xingjian was thinking. She leaned against the carriage, feeling extremely smooth as it swayed.
She went to the An family in Luzhou to deliver medicine, and she also had another purpose, which was to ask the An family to verify whether the pendant on the anklet left by her father was purchased by the An family from Baohuazhai in Beijing thirty-five years ago.
Such old stories can only be asked to the older and more prestigious people in the An family.
It is appropriate to ask about old lady An.
…
Before sunset, Su Wanti and his group entered Luzhou City.
Due to Shang Xingjian's disappearance, the atmosphere in Luzhou City was tense and depressing.
The guards at the city gates conducted careful checks, and the yamen runners patrolled the streets in teams of three, not letting go of any unfamiliar young men.
Because Shang Xingjian and An Jing had changed their appearance, they walked down the street with ease and composure.
The group did not rush to settle down. They first found an inn to settle down. Then, according to Shang Xingjian's plan, An Jing paid for a two-story house near the An family residence to settle Su Wanti's family.
Only after Su Wanti had no worries did the three of them prepare to settle down.
Su Wanti changed their makeup to a more refined and elegant look, and also lightened their skin color.
The three of them changed into their newly purchased light green robes.
After tidying up, the three of them really looked like doctors and medical workers who had just walked out of a pharmacy.
