Chapter 53: Out of the House
A luxurious carriage slowly drove on the streets of the bustling business district in Binh Duong, followed by more than a dozen maids, mothers-in-law and small maids, at first glance, it was the master of a large family to travel, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped to watch, consciously separated on both sides to make way for the carriage, and discussed one after another:
"Look at this car, tsk, how luxurious and luxurious, and then look at the maids who follow behind, all of them seem to come out of the painting, and they have passed the fairy, this main master, I don't know what the beauty is?"
"Look at what you envy, just this car is on top of your family's three broken grass houses, do you know who this is?"
"I really don't know, who is it?"
"Look at the crescent moon on that car, this is a unique mark of Xiao Mansion, I don't know if it is the aunt of Xiao Mansion"
"Auntie? An aunt also has this spectrum, so many people want to follow? What a fucking cow! ”
"Of course, who calls people a family? Rich! , this is called pendulum, why didn't I be dragged into such a family? ”
……
In the car, Mengxi gently lifted the curtains, looked out, and finally left the house, she felt a burst of joy. It seems that breathing the air of Pingyang City can make her feel comfortable physically and mentally, Mengxi thought that the ancients did not pay attention to business, and the market would not be too prosperous, but when she came out, she really underestimated the ancients, looked at the surrounding bustling crowds, the shouts on both sides of the road, and said secretly, this trip is really right.......
It turned out that since Mengxi learned about the ancestral training of Xiao Mansion, she knew that she could not escape the fate of being retired, so she began to secretly plan for herself, the starting point of the crossing text was seen by her, what kind of glass did those travelers make, fire yao, soap and other new things that will only exist in later generations, but she made a lot of money, made a lot of talent, it was her turn, she really wouldn't, she didn't have that kind of business mind at all, and she didn't graduate from a business college in her previous life, and she wanted to be a prophet's prophet with the help of the traveler's understanding of history, but she found out, She traveled to a confused time and space, she didn't know about this, and finally reluctantly recognized the facts, she, a doctor of medicine, except for medicine, has nothing to grow, in Daqi, there is no precedent for women to practice medicine, she also understands that "very is a demon" is afraid that she will show too much medical talent, will be treated as a demon, burned alive, so she also sticks to her duty, dare not have a little mistake.
She was not an ambitious person, she just wanted to live that kind of quiet and indifferent life, she didn't need too much money, just enough to spend, but she finally found that in ancient times, in this world where men were inferior to women, it was simply impossible for women to make money.
In the end, she remembered that day Zhiqiu mentioned that her father and brother both opened a pharmacy, which made her eyes shine, yes, she studied medicine in her previous life, majoring in pharmacy, it was better for her to pay for it, and let them run it for her outside the Xiao Mansion, but she didn't know how the market in Pingyang City was, and the ancient heavy agriculture and suppression of business, Shinong industry and commerce, this business was the most unflowing, I don't know if this medicine hall can be opened in Pingyang City, and she has to come out to inspect her heart before she is sure.
Only then did she anxiously beg the old lady for permission, and went out of the house under the pressure of the second master and her mother-in-law, she claimed that this is called market research, she has little time, and she must find a place to stay in Pingyang City before the Xiao family finds out that she is a concubine.
What gave Mengxi a headache was that she rushed forward and hugged a bunch of people, saying that she was afraid that she would make a mistake, Mengxi knew, it was the eyeliner in the courtyards, what she did today, tomorrow the high-level officials in the house will know, thinking of this, the heart of wanting to go shopping is gone, and she secretly thinks that she must find a way to sneak out of the house in the future, and Zhiqiu is just two people.
Only symbolically visited two or three silk villages, then turned the main energy to the medicine hall, every time he saw the medicine hall, Mengxi ordered the coachman to stop, everyone waited outside, she and Zhiqiu went in, Hongzhu and others wanted to follow, but she was blocked by various excuses.
Jokes, if Hongzhu and the others knew what she was talking about with the shopkeepers of various pharmacies, then she didn't want to open this pharmacy, and walked a few houses, Mengxi found that the pharmacies here sell all Chinese herbal medicines, pills and the like are almost none, only a few are found in one, and the price is ridiculously high, listen to the shopkeeper said, this pill is a unique secret recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation in their family, in Pingyang, and there is no second one, and these are only the palace and those who have decent people in large families can afford to use it, It's good that ordinary people can afford to get sick.
This made Mengxi see a glimmer of business opportunities, she thought of the bezoar detoxification pills, bezoar supernatant pills, Liuwei Dihuang pills, black chicken Baifeng pills and other commonly used medicines in her previous life, it is better to try to sell them with some resounding names, the price is cheaper, and they are specially sold to ordinary people, wouldn't it be fame and fortune, and then with some high-end ones, sell them to high-ranking officials and nobles, and make usurious profits, thinking about it, Mengxi seemed to see piles of silver tickets flying towards her, and she couldn't stop it, so she grinned unconsciously and laughed.
"Second grandma, what's wrong?"
Zhiqiu, who was sitting in the car with her, saw the second grandmother laughing without an image, and hurriedly asked.
"Nothing, I remembered a funny thing"
"Second grandma, it's almost noon, where do you see us eating?"
"We just have a little silver, so many people, is it enough to eat?"
Mengxi frowned unconsciously when she heard that she was going to have lunch, she really didn't know how much silver she would get for a meal in Pingcheng, she was shy in her pocket, that bit of silver, she hated to break it into two halves, Zhiqiu looked at her like an idiot:
"Second grandma, this Pingyang City is full of the Xiao family's property, let's just find a place to eat, what kind of money do we pay?"
"Yes, yes, why didn't I remember it, there is such a good identity but eating and drinking for nothing, when did our family Zhiqiu become so smart?"
Mengxi said jokingly, Zhiqiu ignored her, raised her hand, called the coachman, and ordered to find a restaurant opened by the Xiao family for lunch.
After the group had lunch, Mengxi frowned when he saw so many people following, thought about it, and ordered Hongzhu who followed aside:
"Hongzhu, you and Zhixia and Zhidong are walking around here, Shen Shi is waiting for me here, and I will go with Zhiqiu and Zhichun to walk elsewhere."
"Second grandmother, I can't help it, the second master ordered the slave and maid to follow the second grandmother, the second grandmother wants to have any mistakes, the slave and the maid can not afford to eat, we are still in one place, and the slave and maid have nothing to go around"
Hongzhu listened to the words of the second grandmother and waved her hand again and again. Zhixia and Zhidong also refused, but when they saw the eyes handed over by the second grandmother, they suddenly understood that the second grandmother was going to take Zhiqiu to see her brother, and wanted to get rid of Hongzhu and the others, so she didn't speak.
"Zhiqiu and Zhichun follow me, what will happen? With such a big Pingyang City, can it still be lost? ”
"The second grandmother must be careful, Shen Shi must come back here, it's late, and the second master is unhappy"
Hongzhu saw that the second grandmother insisted, the second grandmother was the biggest here, and she also knew that the second grandmother's idea was right, and even the second grandmother couldn't twist it, so she had to tell her thousands of instructions and reluctantly agreed.
Mengxi nodded and said that he knew, and left some silver taels for Zhixia and Zhidong, so he sat in the car with Zhiqiu and Zhichun, and walked all the way to Zhiqiu's house with the four little guys.
