Situ Yan leaned on Cui Ping's arms and listened to her whispered all the way, when she suddenly felt the carriage shake and stopped. As soon as she sat up, she heard Youzhu's voice coming in from outside the car, "Miss, the county seat of Henan has arrived, and when the officers and soldiers see the road guide, they can enter the city, do you think you can find an inn to live in first, and then invite a Lang Zhong to come and show you?" ”

"Let's go to the pharmacy first!" It's not that she Situ Yan doesn't want to find someone to see a doctor, it's just that this ancient doctor doesn't know much about her! In her previous life, in order to survive in any environment, medicine was a compulsory course for her as a special soldier, and as an excellent spy, she Situ Yan not only learned suture amputation in Western medicine, but also chose to study Chinese medicine. And made an in-depth understanding of the meridians of the human body. In addition to the study of Chinese medicine, Situ Yan also studied acupuncture and moxibustion of Chinese medicine. It is not difficult to grab some medicine for yourself to get rid of the residual toxins in your body.

Listening to the officers and soldiers checked the road guide, the carriage moved again, Situ Yan opened the curtain, looked at this ancient county seat, the city gate is about 10 meters high, the city wall is about 16 meters high, and the word Henan is written on the city gate. Entered the county seat of Henan from the south city gate, followed the south street to the north, inquired all the way to the east street medicine market, this ancient residence and business are separated, the place of residence is the fang area, the place of business is the city gate, and each line in the city gate operates different things, can not be mixed together. Youzhu introduced Situ Yan while catching the car.

When the carriage stopped again, it had already arrived at the door of the pharmacy, and there was a pillar to open the curtain, and Cui Ping first brought Situ Yan a hat (a hat with a wide brim with yarn, the length of the yarn can hang down to the bare feet. Only then did he help Situ Yan get out of the carriage, and there was a plaque in traditional Chinese script in front of his eyes, "Jingxiu Hall", the door of the shop was not big, and the wooden doors and windows were wiped clean. There was a banner on the door with the word "medicine" written on it.

Situ Yan secretly rejoiced in her heart that in her previous life, in order to exercise her mind, she had also practiced calligraphy for a period of time, which came in handy here. If you don't even know traditional characters, it's a big deal.

Looking at the time, the sun is in the sky, it should be around 12 noon, and there is no one queuing outside the door, "It seems that business is not very good." Situ Yan muttered in a low voice.

"Miss, it's good that there are few people in this pharmacy, only when there is a plague and an epidemic, there will be more people in this pharmacy, and it will kill people. And it's almost noon, and most of the shops in the market are going to be closed after noon, if there is no emergency, Lang Zhong will not give medicine to the doctor. Cui Ping whispered to Situ Yan to explain, afraid that the young lady would say the wrong thing and touch the shopkeeper's moldy head.

"Yes!" She forgot that although she was ready to be an ancient, her living habits still retain the thinking of modern people! I can also know that food and clothing were problems in ancient times, and the poor couldn't afford to see a doctor or catch medicine, and the rich people, whether they were doctors or Langzhong, were all **, so the pharmacy was deserted most of the time. Listening to Cuiping's introduction, the business hours of this shop are only in the morning, not like modern times, they are all 24-hour service.

Situ Yan was vigilant in her heart, she still had to get used to thinking about things with the thinking of the ancients, so as not to make any more mistakes, or offend any big person, and get into trouble. Fortunately, Cui Ping didn't suspect it, she only thought that the young lady rarely went out, and she was a child, so it was normal to not understand this.

Youzhu stayed to watch the car, Cui Ping helped Situ Yan into the pharmacy, a strong smell of Chinese medicine came to her face, Situ Yan subconsciously rubbed her nose. I looked around first, and on the right hand side against the wall was a medicine cabinet, and only a little medicine boy was standing on the counter with his back to them.

There were several medicine lists on the counter, and it seemed that the medicine boy was taking the medicine according to the prescription. Cui Ping saw that the medicine boy didn't notice anyone coming in, "Cough! He coughed and reminded him.

Only then did the medicine boy turn around and look up, and saw that it was a woman with a child who came in, and hurriedly greeted, "Are you two going to see a doctor, or are you taking medicine?" ”

"Grab the medicine!" Cui Ping was about to say "see a doctor", but Situ Yan hurriedly spoke first, so as not to have to explain to the medicine boy.

Cui Ping looked at Situ Yan puzzled, and reminded in a low voice, "Miss, you have to see a doctor first, this is Lang Zhong, and you can only catch the medicine after prescribing medicine." Cui Ping thought that the young lady was young and had never been out, so she didn't know this.

"Just listen to me." Situ Yan's own personality is not a lot of words, so she didn't want to explain, so she just gave Cui Ping a sentence and let her listen to everything.

"Do you have a prescription?" The medicine boy didn't suspect that the people who came to the pharmacy were either to see a doctor or to grab medicine.

"There is no prescription, I said you remember, and then grab the medicine." Situ Yan didn't give the medicine boy a chance to ask, and directly began to report the name of the medicine.

While remembering the names of the medicines, the medicine boy stared at the little girl who was less than the height of the counter, and reported the names of fifteen medicines in one breath.

The medicine boy looked at the prescription twice, but he didn't see what disease it was curing, "You have all the medicinal herb shops you want, but how many taels do you plan to cost for these medicines?" The medicine boy didn't care about being surprised at this time, thinking that he should grab the medicine first, and then ask for advice when the master was free.

After listening to the medicine boy's reminder, Situ Yan remembered that the medicine at this time was not calculated by grams, but by a few dollars and taels, picked up the scale on the cabinet and checked it, and had a general understanding of the weight in his heart, so he calculated in his heart, "According to this weight, 1 money is about equal to 5 grams ,,," While converting, he reported the name and weight of the medicine again, and this time it took a quarter of an hour to rewrite the prescription. The medicine boy read it again, and only after confirming that it was correct did he start to grab the medicine.

Cui Ping frowned at her young lady's strange behavior, and when she saw that the medicine boy turned around to grab the medicine and didn't pay attention to it anymore, she hurriedly pulled Situ Yan back a few steps and asked in a low voice, "Miss, how do you know how to see a doctor, this medicine can't be eaten indiscriminately, if you don't eat it well, it will kill you?" ”

"Don't worry, I know it." Situ Yan didn't want to say more, and Cui Ping had no choice, she was already a subordinate, and it was not easy to force her master to do things, so she had to wait until she met Youzhu and then discuss with him to find a way.

The medicine boy wrapped the medicine and tied it firmly, and then he quoted the price with his abacus, "I will charge you a total of one or two pieces of silver." ”

Situ Yan didn't have a concept of the silver here, and she didn't pay attention to whether she had any silver on her, so she didn't answer, and Cui Ping didn't squeak anymore, and directly took out a tael of silver and handed it over. Only then did he take the medicine with one hand, and helped Situ Yan to walk out with the other.

Seeing that the people were gone, the medicine boy hurriedly ran into the inner hall and asked the master for a prescription.

Youzhu saw that Miss was coming out, so he hurriedly opened the curtain of the car and asked Cui Ping, "What did Lang Zhong say?" Cui Ping helped Situ Yan into the car first, and then told the story of what happened in the pharmacy.

"You said that Miss doesn't even smell bitter medicine on weekdays, how can she prescribe medicine today?"

"Don't worry, I watched Miss wake up this time, there are some differences, it seems that the gestures are more calm, more successful, I don't think there will be anything wrong, wait until I get to the inn and ask Miss carefully? If not, please ask Lang Zhong again? ”

"That's all there is to it, let's go first!" Cui Ping got into the carriage, the three of them didn't speak again, and walked for a cup of tea before they came to an inn and called an upper room, which was divided into two rooms, just enough for three people. When you go out, especially in this inn, it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and this arrangement is also for the sake of safety.

Youzhu settled the carriage and horses, and then entered the house, and saw that Cui Ping was still picking up in the room, so he walked to Situ Yan's side, "Miss, I just heard Cui Ping say, you didn't give Lang Zhong a doctor, so you prescribed a prescription yourself, this is a medicine that is three points poison, you can't eat it indiscriminately, Miss has just woken up, if you take the medicine badly, and then there is something, the slave can't explain the matter to the eldest young master, if you hurt the young lady's body, how can it be good?" ”

"Don't worry about this, this prescription was written down by my mother back then, it is said to be able to cure all kinds of poisons, my body is only slightly poisoned, and there is nothing else, I believe that my mother will bless me when she looks at it from heaven." Situ Yan didn't want to ask ghosts and gods as excuses, but a 6-year-old girl, Cheng'er didn't go out of the door, and she would be prescribed medicine for a while, which was really hard to explain. This is an excuse for the ghost, and no one will blame her in the future.

Youzhu listened to Mrs.'s prescription, so he didn't say more, and Cui Ping also heard it clearly in the room, so she took the medicine to the inn to borrow the fire decoction.

Situ Yan wanted to know more about this era, so she kept Youzhu down and asked him.

"Youzhu, now we are avoiding trouble together, you don't have to be restrained, I call you Uncle Youzhu, don't keep your head down, I still have something to discuss with you!"

"Don't you dare, miss, this gift cannot be abolished, and the slave must not dare to be it!" Youzhu knelt down directly in fright, this young lady woke up, everywhere was different, and I didn't know whether it was good or bad, and even his heart was bottomless at this time.

Situ Yan just wanted to be friendly with these two people, but she didn't want to scare people to her knees, thinking that the thinking of this ancient person could not be changed overnight, so she didn't force it anymore, and got up and helped Youzhu up, "You can do whatever you want to do, but you and Cui Ping are redeemed, this slave will be exempted as soon as it is called, you get up and speak first." ”

How dare Youzhu really let Situ Yan hold on, and got up with trepidation, this time he turned back and pressed lower, and his waist bent deeper. Situ Yan shook her head helplessly, although she was uncomfortable, she was no longer entangled, and sat back again.

"Youzhu, I don't know anything about this Lijia Village, tell me about it! The more detailed, the better! ”

Although Youzhu lowered his head and replied, there was a trace of joy in his voice, thinking that he also hoped to return to his hometown!

From Youzhu's words, Situ Yan learned that Luoyang, the capital of Wei (now Luoyang, Henan), which is not the Cao Wei State in the Spring and Autumn Period recorded in the history books, is an alternate history, but Situ Yan can still understand that this Wei State is also in the land of Huaxia and has gone through countless dynasties. Because before this Wei State, this place belonged to the Xia Dynasty, and the current Wei Emperor was the King of Wei of the Xia Dynasty, and the King of Wu in the south and the King of Shu in the west overthrew the Xia Dynasty and divided the three places to establish themselves as kings. Thankfully, at least she can borrow some of the knowledge from books to survive.

The state of Wei is located in the center, adjacent to the Turks, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang (desert) and Goguryeo in the north. The west confronted Shu in the Qinling Mountains and Hexi. It is bordered by the Yellow Sea to the east. The south confronted the state of Wu on the Yangtze River.

Xinchang County, where Lijia Village is located, belongs to Liaodong County, Youzhou, in the northeast of Wei State, to the north through Xiangping County, the seat of Liaodong County, that is, Xuansu County, the border pass, and to the south is next to Wen County. (According to the modern geographical location, this Lijia Village is near Anshan City.) ）

Lijia Village is in the middle of Xinchang County and Xiangping County, and it is almost more than two hours away from the two county seats. Lijia Village is backed by the Great Wilderness Mountain, and there is no river in the village, so it has been dry for many years and has difficulty in drafting. The crops in the field are raised by the sky, so every family has a very poor life, especially in the winter, when the goose feathers and snow are heavy, and the villagers do not even go out of the house, hiding at home to avoid the cold.

In order to save some food for the winter and not be starved to death, some families often sell their children and daughters, so the population of the village is not large. Li Youzhu was sold by his family to Yaxing for 500 yuan, and then he became a slave, and he went to Lu'an County, Lujiang County several times, but he didn't die on the road, so he was bought by Situ Fu.

Since Li Youzhu was bought by the Situ family, he has become the manager of the outer courtyard of the Wu Mansion step by step, and the hard work in the middle is only clear to him, fortunately, Situ Mansion is not harsh on his subordinates, and after becoming Situ Wan's companion, it is even more smooth, he has saved some money in his hand, and because of this, he is dedicated to serving Situ Wan, the housewife, as a benefactor.

With the money in his hand, Li Youzhu did not forget to prepare five acres of garden land for his parents in his hometown, (the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was mediocre, the officials **, and the taxes were heavy, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was a tuntian system, forcing farmers to cultivate official land, and farmers were not allowed to have their own fields.) To be able to grow some grain and vegetables on such a large garden and homestead is already a blessing that farmers can't even ask for. It can be regarded as Li Youzhu's filial piety that he can't serve his father and mother by his side. If it weren't for the fact that his younger brother died of exhaustion due to forced labor last year, and his father and mother were sick again and sent him a letter, he would not have been able to go back to take care of his father's and mother's funeral, and the five-acre garden mansion would not have fallen on him.

Now that he has only gotten rid of his slave status, he can finally legitimately leave this land (in ancient times, slaves were not allowed to buy land. ）。 Thinking that the head of the Li family thought that his family had no one to inherit, and wanted to forcibly take over his family's land, if it wasn't for the help of the village, and Li Dazhu was found to help take care of it, the vegetables and grain planted would be divided equally with the clan, and the rest would go to Li Dazhu's family who helped farm the land, so that Li Youzhu could be regarded as keeping the house deed.

Situ Yan thought in her heart, "This village is quite good, but this patriarch is afraid that he is black-hearted." ”

Most of the fields in Lijia Village are low-grade fields, and they can't grow any good crops, but they are all drought-tolerant crops such as bud grain, sorghum, millet and millet. Even so, the harvest is not high, when the weather is good, you can harvest a little more than a stone of grain per acre, and when the weather is bad, you can't even harvest a stone. If there is another drought, it will be a year of dry dry and no harvest.

But even so, there are not many people who can have a large garden homestead at home, and the best one can have an acre of land, and most of them are a few points of land.

Situ Yan listened to Li Youzhu's introduction, and she was a little worried in her heart, such a place, even if she wanted to survive in her previous life, it was not easy, and now she is such a small body, if she wants to live, it seems that she needs to prepare more things. touched the ancient ring with his hand, and his heart was a little calmer, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise even if I buy something, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will touch it." "The truth that wealth is not revealed has been like this since ancient times.

Touching the ancient ring and listening to Li Youzhu's words, Situ Yan finally stopped hesitating about the future.
