Chapter 102: Feeling like being kept by a rich woman
Lan Xiyue came to the pharmacy and walked in.
The pharmacist was busy between the counters when he suddenly saw the woman. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he greeted her warmly.
"Miss, you are here again. What herbs do you want to get this time?" The medicine boy's words were filled with some courtesy and respect. He was deeply impressed by the girl in front of him. It was the same time that she made Miss Qian lose weight quickly.
This matter spread quickly in the capital, and even many ladies and maids came to their Baicaotang pharmacy to inquire about the girl's identity.
After all, all those ladies and young ladies wanted to have a good figure. After hearing about Miss Qian's story, they all wanted to find Lan Xiyue to buy medicine to maintain their figure.
Lan Xiyue said "hmm" and said, "Get some medicinal herbs for nourishing the body."
After she finished speaking, Lan Xiyue listed the names of more than a dozen medicinal herbs in one breath.
The medicine boy was stunned when he heard this, obviously stunned by the sudden long list of medicinal herbs.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately turned around to grab some medicine. After grabbing a few, he suddenly stopped, looking embarrassed. He turned back to look at Lan Xiyue with a look of apology and embarrassment in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue already understood in her heart. She just smiled faintly and slowly said the names of those herbs again.
Upon hearing this, the medicine boy showed a look of gratitude on his face and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, young lady, for not making a fuss. I'll remember this time." After that, he threw himself back into the busy work of preparing the medicine, and his movements gradually became skillful and smooth.
After a while, all the herbs were collected. The medicine boy carefully packed them and handed them to Chuxia who was standing beside him.
Chuxia took the herbs and held them in her hand.
Lan Xiyue took out some silver from her sleeve and handed it to the medicine boy.
As Lan Xiyue walked out of the pharmacy, a woman in gorgeous clothes suddenly rushed into Baicaotang and was about to bump into Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue dodged to the side, and the woman staggered and was about to fall to the ground. Lan Xiyue was quick-witted and grabbed her sleeve to steady her.
After the woman stood firm, her eyes fell on Lan Xiyue's face, which instantly brightened up, and her face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal.
"It's you! Haha, I finally found you!" she shouted excitedly, with a bit of excitement and surprise in her voice.
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of her calmly. She had already recognized the woman in front of her - Qian Duoduo.
She released her hand that was holding Qian Duoduo's sleeve, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Qian Duoduo walked around in front of Lan Xiyue, his figure light and graceful, completely different from his usual bloated appearance.
"It's me, don't you remember? It's you who made me lose weight. Now I'm no longer the fat woman that people talk about behind my back. I really have to thank you!"
"The money is settled, no need to thank me."
After saying that, Lan Xiyue was about to leave.
Qian Duoduo walked in front of her and blocked her way.
"That won't do! I didn't have much money with me at the time. How could that little bit of silver be enough to repay your kindness? Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal at the Tianxiang Restaurant, and we can have a good chat!"
Lan Xiyue wanted to refuse, but looking at Qian Duoduo's sincere and persistent eyes, she felt that it was okay anyway, so she nodded and accepted Qian Duoduo's invitation.
When Qian Duoduo saw that she agreed, a childlike smile instantly broke out on his face, and he chattered non-stop all the way.
Lan Xiyue would occasionally respond, but mostly remained silent, listening to Qian Duoduo.
Soon, they arrived at Tianxiang Restaurant.
The waiter led them to the private room on the second floor. As soon as they entered, Qian Duoduo asked the waiter to bring all the signature dishes of Tianxiang Restaurant and ordered a lot of exquisite side dishes.
The waiter responded and soon the table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, the aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
Lan Xiyue asked Chuxia to sit aside. Seeing this, Qian Duoduo also asked his maid to sit down with them.
Lan Xiyue was a little surprised. The ancients always paid attention to etiquette of hierarchy. When the master was having a meal, servants often did not dare to sit at the same table.
However, Qian Duoduo didn't care about these red tapes and let the maid sit with him. This open-mindedness and casualness made Lan Xiyue feel more favorable towards Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo personally held the kettle and filled a glass of wine for Lan Xiyue, placing it in front of her. He smiled and said, "By the way, young lady, whose daughter are you from? What's your name? How come I've never heard of a woman with such superb medical skills as you in the capital?"
"Lan Xiyue!"
"Ah? Such a familiar name!" Qian Duoduo frowned slightly when he heard this and stared at Lan Xiyue in confusion.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and opened her mouth in surprise, "Could it be..."
Lan Xiyue looked at Qian Duoduo with a half-smile, "Yes, it's just what you think."
"Ah!" Qian Duoduo stood up excitedly and pointed at Lan Xiyue, saying, "Are you really the famous nymphomaniac in Beijing? The arrogant and domineering one?"
After saying that, she looked at Lan Xiyue carefully again and asked in confusion: "Huh? Why aren't you as ugly as before?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Qian Duoduo realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at Lan Xiyue embarrassedly.
Lan Xiyue smiled nonchalantly and said, "I just dressed like that on purpose before, so that I could truly see into a man's heart."
Qian Duoduo was bewildered when he heard this. He scratched his head and said, "Although I don't understand what you are saying, I am really grateful to you. You don't know that in our Qian Mansion, matchmakers come to propose marriage every day and the door is broken. My father is so happy that he has lost his mind."
After Qian Duoduo finished speaking, he sat down again feeling a little depressed.
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "If that's the case, why are you so unhappy? Could it be that those people who came to propose marriage are causing you trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo raised her lips in disdain: "You don't understand. Those people used to mock me. Now that I've lost weight and become more beautiful, and our Qian family is rich, they've come to propose marriage. I don't even care about such a look now!"
"I see. With your current conditions, you deserve better. Marriage is about mutual affection and there's no rush."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo smiled again: "Hehe! My father said the same thing, so he rejected all the marriage proposals and said he would carefully find a suitable person for me. This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't helped me lose weight, how could I have changed today?"
After saying that, Qian Duoduo stared at Lan Xiyue without blinking, her eyes full of sincerity: "Sister, can you be my good sister? I'll be your money bag. From now on, I'll pay for everything when we go out to eat, drink and have fun. What do you think?"
Seeing this, Xiao Hong couldn't help but pull her own lady's sleeve and whispered, "My lady, I am the daughter of the Marquis of Wuguo Mansion, how can I not have money to spend?"
Qian Duoduo glared at Xiaohong and said, "Who would dislike someone as rich as her? I like her and want to be good sisters with her."
Xiaohong held her forehead and said, "My dear lady, how can anyone be a good sister and be someone's money bag?"
Lan Xiyue chuckled when she heard this, feeling like she was being kept by a rich woman.
"Okay, I accept you as my sister. From now on, you are my good sister."
Qian Duoduo was delighted when he heard this. He picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for Lan Xiyue, and poured another glass for himself.
Putting down the wine jug, she held the wine glass with both hands, her eyes sparkling: "After drinking this glass of wine, we will be good sisters from now on, sharing the hard times and the happiness together."
Lan Xiyue picked up the wine glass, clinked it lightly with hers, and drank it in one gulp.
