Chapter 77 A distinguished guest has arrived
Song Jinsheng took a deep breath.
"He can't come to the town to get the medicine himself, and you have to spend money to buy it for him? Isn't this just taking advantage of others?" He said earnestly, "Sister, you said you are talented and beautiful, what kind of man can't you find? Why do you have to choose that sickly guy?"
"It's not that I have to have him, it's just that I can't find anyone more suitable than him." Song Yuntang led Song Jinsheng out of the yard and turned back to lock the gate. "Besides, he's not a gigolo. The money I'm spending now belongs to him."
"Did he give you money?" Song Jinsheng immediately began to imagine, "These days, everyone who has some money holds on tightly. He is so guilty, so he didn't do anything excessive to you, right?"
Song Yuntang rubbed his temples helplessly.
"He has been a teacher for so many years, so he is more polite than ordinary people. When you left that day, he left not long after you left, and he didn't even enter my room." He raised his hand and patted Song Jinsheng's shoulder, "Don't worry, Xu Qingye is definitely a good person."
After hearing this, Song Jinsheng felt less resentful towards Xu Qingye. He followed Song Yuntang towards the town.
"He's smart. If he dares to bully you in the future, I won't care if he's a teacher or not. I'll beat him up first."
Song Yuntang, who was walking in front, pursed his lips and smiled, then looked back at him.
"I have to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine first. Second brother, don't delay Brother Mazi's business. Let's go back to Rongshu Village first."
Song Jinsheng nodded, Song Mazi really needed someone right now.
"Then be careful."
"I will."
After watching Song Jinsheng leave, Song Yuntang walked towards Baicaotang, which was closest to the southern suburbs of the city.
Because Song Yuntang had saved someone in Baicaotang, Manager Li had a deep impression of her. As soon as she walked into Baicaotang, Manager Li recognized her.
"Oh! Miss Song is here."
Song Yuntang walked towards him with a smile, "How is business lately, Shopkeeper Li?"
"Ever since you saved Mu Dong's mother here, we have seen more ladies and young ladies coming to our pharmacy because of your reputation." His eyes whirled around, and he walked around the counter, pulled Song Yuntang aside, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Song, are you sure you can see the patient?"
Song Yuntang raised his eyes and asked, "Manager Li, is there a patient here?"
Shopkeeper Li pulled Song Yuntang to the corner again.
"To be honest, many ladies have come here to ask about the girl recently. However, I saw that the girl was very young and was not sure whether you were sure, so I perfunctorily told them that I would help ask the girl next time I saw her."
Song Yuntang nodded, "If anyone asks about it in the future, please ask the shopkeeper to answer it for me, and then ask them to come to the shopkeeper to get the medicine."
Shopkeeper Li readily agreed.
"Is the girl free today?"
"I'm busy today. I have to go on a long trip. I should be at home tomorrow. If Shopkeeper Li wants to see me, you can ask the shop boy to find me in the southern suburbs. Mu Dong knows where I live."
Song Yuntang came to the counter and handed the prescription in his hand to the servant behind the counter.
"Brother, please get me seven doses of medicine according to this prescription."
"Okay, wait a moment, girl." The young man was very quick. He took the prescription, looked at it carefully, and started to prepare the medicine for her.
"Miss, are you also living in town?" Shopkeeper Li asked while calculating the price for Song Yuntang.
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Yes, this side is more convenient."
"Okay then. I'll have Tian Liu visit all the ladies who came to the shop for consultation. Once everything is confirmed, I'll have him send a letter to the girl tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he had already calculated the price of the medicinal herbs Song Yuntang would have to buy and pushed the abacus in front of Song Yuntang.
"The total amount of medicinal materials the young lady needs is three hundred and eighty-six coins. Just give me three hundred and fifty coins."
Song Yuntang nodded, paid the money, took the medicine, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and went to Lushan Village.
She had never been to Lushan Village and didn't even know its approximate location. She only knew that it was half an hour away from Rongshu Village and in a different location from Shili Village.
She arrived at the entrance of the town, asked Grandpa Sun who was still guarding the ox cart, and walked in the direction the grandpa pointed.
Occasionally we would meet one or two men working in the fields on the way, and we asked along the way until we arrived at Lushan Village.
Lushan Village is two quarters of an hour farther from the town than Rongshu Village.
The village is surrounded by mountains and there are not many households in the village, only about thirty or forty.
As soon as Song Yuntang arrived at the entrance of the village, an old farmer working in the fields spotted her and asked enthusiastically, "You look unfamiliar, are you here in Lushan Village to look for someone?"
Song Yuntang hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm here to find Xu Qingye, can you show me the way, old man?"
The old man smiled knowingly, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of a blue brick house in the distance, "Qingye's family is right over there, you came at the right time, young lady, he happens to be at home these days."
Song Yuntang thanked him and walked in the direction the old man pointed.
Someone not far away asked the old man, "Uncle, who was that girl just now?"
The old man chuckled.
"She doesn't look very old. She should be the girl from Rongshu Village. Qingye is good at studying and has good taste. This girl is here to bring him medicine."
The man in the distance also laughed and said, "My cousin is right. Qingye looks much better now. Good days are yet to come."
…
Song Yuntang arrived at the Xu family's door and knocked on the door.
“Here I come.”
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in simple clothes, about forty years old, with a few wrinkles on her brows due to the wear and tear of time.
She took a look at Song Yuntang and felt that the girl in front of her was as beautiful as a fairy, and she had a good impression of her.
"Who is the girl?"
Song Yuntang said politely, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Song Yuntang, and I'm here to deliver medicine to Brother Xu."
As she spoke, she raised the herbs in her hand.
When Jiang heard that the girl in front of her was Song Yuntang, she was so surprised that she didn't know how to laugh.
No wonder the head of the family kept praising the girl after she came back. Now that she has seen Song Yuntang in person, she likes her even more.
Jiang held back her smile, took Song Yuntang's hand and walked towards Xu Qingye's room.
"Qingye, we have a distinguished guest!"
Xu Qingye was reading a book in the room. When he heard Jiang's voice, he thought it was a relative of his family. He slowly put down the book in his hand and looked towards the door. When he saw Song Yuntang, his calm eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he stood up.
"Why are you here?"
After hearing this, Jiang was quick to discredit him.
"Why is she here? This is her home from now on. She can come whenever she wants." She turned to look at Song Yuntang and said, "Tang'er, go talk to Qingye first. Auntie will go get you a cup of tea."
Song Yuntang said hurriedly, "Aunt, don't bother. Last time, Brother Xu helped me move, and I forgot to adjust his prescription when I left. I thought he would have to go to town again to deliver the prescription, so I just got the medicine and came over. I have something else to do in town, so I'll leave after delivering the medicine."
