After sending away those who had nothing better to do, the old doctor slowly stood up and instructed the medicine boy, "Collate the amount of chicken gizzard lining and phellodendron amurense we have left. I'll send it to the county government office later."
"Okay!" The medicine boy agreed readily.
Ji Changying came over and asked, "Do you have any frostbite cream?"
Doctor Lin glanced at her and said, "Yes, how much do you want?"
Ji Changying murmured, "Ten cans!"
Doctor Lin almost choked on his own saliva: "Miss, this can last for two years! Are you sure you want ten cans?!"
Ji Changying smiled: "Doctor, I want to buy these ten cans to give to others. Not only for myself, but also for my family!"
Doctor Lin nodded and turned around to personally take out ten cans of frostbite cream: "Two hundred coins per can, two taels of silver."
Ji Changying paid the money readily without any intention of bargaining, which made Dr. Lin have a very good impression of her.
All the things they bought were divided into two parts, one for Auntie's home and the other for Grandma's home. Ji Changying handed the things to Gou'er and said, "Take the things back to Uncle Dalin later and ask him to take them back with him."
The dog looked at her reluctantly: "Sister Ji, are you going home?"
Ji Changying smiled and placed a can of frostbite cream and forty coins in his palm: "This is your wages for today. I still have things to do. See you when I have time."
The dog looked at the frostbite cream stuffed into his hand in surprise and waved his hand to refuse: "This is too expensive! I can't take it!"
Ji Changying tapped his forehead: "Take it if I give it to you!"
Ji Changying had already noticed that the backs of his hands were covered with frostbite.
Putting the things into his hands, she urged the dog to take her things back quickly.
He turned around and went to the county government office.
Others were not interested in the third message in the announcement, but she was very interested.
After all, the bounty is as high as fifty taels!
All the money I spent today is back in one go, with some left over!
On the way, Doctor Lin looked at her in surprise: "Are you going to the county government office too?"
Ji Changying nodded: "Yes."
The two walked in silence all the way to the gate of the county government office.
At this moment, a long line of people had formed, carrying chickens and trees to exchange for money.
Doctor Lin was a well-known figure in Gan County. The yamen runners who were maintaining order saw him approaching with something and ran over enthusiastically, "Doctor Lin! What brings you here?"
Doctor Lin chuckled, "I heard the county government was collecting some medicinal herbs, so I brought them here. No matter what, it's a good thing for the country and the people, so we at Puji Medical Clinic should support it."
The yamen runner's face lit up with joy: "The stuff in your clinic must be good! Follow me!"
After saying that, he extended his hand to invite Doctor Lin to come in directly. The people queuing next to him looked at him and had no objection. Instead, they smiled and joked, "Doctor Lin, please go in quickly. Isn't it a waste of time to queue up here with us?"
Doctor Lin turned his head to look at Ji Changying and winked at her: "Then let's go!"
Ji Changying was surprised and quickly followed.
She actually didn't really want to queue...
After entering, I found that the situation inside the county government office was not much better. Everyone was busy with registration, accounting, and exchanging money.
Ji Changying followed Doctor Lin and was taken to the household registration office by the yamen runners to register.
Seeing Doctor Lin hand over all the herbs in his hand and exchange them for a receipt to collect the money, Ji Changying leaned over and asked, "I want to ask who should I contact to treat Lanhua?"
The clerk who was registering the flowers looked up in surprise when he heard this: "You mean you're a gardener?"
Ji Changying nodded: "I can be."
When the clerk heard Ji Changying admit it, he shouted towards the door, "There's a gardener here to test the water! Bring it to the madam!"
Three or five people came in at once, looking at her with burning eyes: "Let's go!"
Doctor Lin didn't expect Ji Changying to come in to treat Hua. He frowned and stopped her: "The wife of the county magistrate has a bad temper."
"I've been looking for a gardener for two months, and I've already kicked more than a dozen gardeners out with sticks. Why are you doing this?"
Ji Changying didn't expect there was such a thing in it, and was a little surprised.
But seeing Dr. Lin's worried expression, he felt warm in his heart: "I'm fine! Thank you for reminding me! When I get the reward, I will definitely go to your clinic to buy two more bottles of frostbite cream."
Doctor Lin shook his head and sighed, "Forget about the frostbite cream. If you really get beaten up, have someone send you directly to me! I guarantee I'll cure you."
Ji Changying's mouth twitched: "Can you please expect me to be okay?"
Doctor Lin sighed and looked at her as if she was beyond help.
Ji Changying's heart was pounding as he followed the people towards the backyard of the county government office.
Unexpectedly, I saw Ji Fengyi walking towards me from the opposite direction with a meal in his hand.
"Uncle?" Ji Changying looked at him in surprise.
Ji Fengyi was also slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"
Ji Changying's eyes wandered: "I came here to look at the flowers, why is uncle here?"
When Ji Fengyi saw her like this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The county government is short of registration clerks. I came here to work and earn some money. This is my lunch."
Ji Changying chuckled: "Uncle is really awesome! You eat first, I'll come over to look at the flowers. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. See you at the gathering place!"
After saying that, she slipped away behind several yamen runners.
Ji Fengyi returned to his workplace thoughtfully, intending to ask someone about it.
Ji Changying was taken all the way to the backyard, and the gatekeeper was asked to go in and tell the story. Then a slightly older nanny came over.
She looked Ji Changying up and down with a slightly critical look in her eyes and a slight frown. She waved to the yamen runner and said, "Go down. I'll take care of the person."
"Then I'll trouble you, Madam. Bye!"
After saying this, the yamen runners turned and left, leaving Ru Mama to glance at her and say disdainfully, "Let's go!"
Ji Changying hurriedly followed.
As soon as they entered the backyard, the whole environment immediately became quiet. The maids and servants in the yard each performed their duties. When they saw the nanny, they bowed slightly and then lowered their heads to step aside and wait for the two to pass by.
Nanny Ru had a smile on her lips and looked very satisfied. She raised her chin slightly and glanced at Ji Changying who was walking side by side with her, feeling a little unhappy.
So she looked down at him and asked, "How many years have you been tending to the flowers and plants?"
Ji Changying had been studying plants and had never only tended to flowers and plants, so she could only make up a random guess: "For many years."
Ru Mama felt that the other party was perfunctory with her, and her face turned even colder. She said calmly, "Before you, at least a dozen gardeners came to see me, but none of them could cure me. Instead, the condition got worse. My wife was very angry. Although she didn't kill him, she beat him half to death."
"She hates those who pretend to know everything and mess around the most! She'll beat them up if they get away with it. It would be best if she could scare them so much that they never dare go out and fool around again."
