Chapter 234: Silly girl
"Oh." Chu Wanxiang followed Chu Mohan into the pharmacy.
"What herbs do you need?" The shopkeeper greeted him.
"The troublesome shopkeeper gave us a little Angelica Angelica, Astragalus, Angelica, Bupleurum, Boiled Licorice, Tangerine Peel, Codonopsis, and Rehmannia Five-Flavor Herbs, two taels of each of each, plus four coins of silver." After Chu Mohan finished speaking, he took out the copper plate to pay the bill.
Chu Wanxiang's eyes widened, "You're crazy! That's enough medicine for you to take for two months."
Chu Mohan disagreed: "Don't be afraid."
"But I'm afraid." Chu Wanxiang said bitterly, "I not only have to earn money to support my family now, but I also have to take care of you."
"Don't worry, I'll give you the rest of the money after taking these pills." Chu Mohan patted her on the back and comforted her.
Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips unhappily: "Don't lie to me."
"I didn't lie to you." Chu Mohan corrected solemnly, "Your first task now is to take care of the fetus, and as for earning money, wait for the child to be born and then slowly figure out a way."
Chu Wanxiang sighed and compromised, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Chu Mohan instructed the clerk to wrap the medicine and give it to him, turned around and took her hand and walked across the street.
Walking into a secluded alley, Chu Mohan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Chu Wanxiang: "How do you know I'm here?"
"I guess." Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "I've been following you."
Chu Mohan's face darkened: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I don't like that you always leave me in the carriage, and you don't want people to find out about my relationship with you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life." Chu Wanxiang held his hand and stared at him seriously.
Chu Mohan's heart softened, and he reached out to smooth the bangs on her forehead: "Silly girl."
"By the way, you must not leave me again, or I'll be very angry, you know I have a bad temper." Chu Wanxiang raised his eyes and threatened.
Chu Mohan smiled: "Okay, it won't."
"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the thin lips.
The two continued to walk forward hand in hand.
Chu Wanxiang looked at the street scene for a while, and suddenly asked, "You don't ask me why I'm following you?"
Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask?"
Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "Because I want to know how you know those words."
Chu Mohan said lightly: "Those words are not difficult to guess, you can know by just checking them."
Chu Wanxiang was unconvinced: "I don't think it's easy."
Chu Mohan didn't say anything, and walked straight into a restaurant.
The restaurant is called Qingyin Building, the decoration is elegant, and the dishes are exquisite.
Chu Wanxiang pulled Chu Mohan to the third floor seat, ordered a few side dishes, asked for a pot of plum blossom wine, and chatted with Chu Mohan while tasting food.
"Why did you suddenly think of taking me out for a walk today?" Chu Wanxiang asked while eating.
"I heard that rock sugar gourds are sold here."
"......" Chu Wanxiang was speechless for a moment, "You even know this." new
"Uh-huh." Chu Mohan raised his chin arrogantly, "You don't care, just know that I'm good to you, better than any man."
Chu Wanxiang rolled her eyes: "I know."
The two were chatting happily when they heard a familiar voice coming from the next table.
"Princess, the slave maid heard that there is a new iced sour plum soup here, would you like to try it?"
"Well, bring it."
"Yes, Princess."
The two followed the prestige, and saw a girl sitting at the next table with luxurious clothes and bright makeup, she was wearing a light pink dress, ruby earrings, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang frowned at the same time.
Chu Wanxiang scolded in a low voice, "Why did you meet her again!"
Chu Mohan glanced at her and didn't say a word.
At the next table, Tao Yao'er picked up the iced sour plum soup, took a sip, and praised, "It's really delicious. The taste of your shop is really unique."
"The girl likes it, even if she drinks it, the small shop is open for business, and she will definitely not treat the guest officer badly." The shopkeeper greeted her warmly, and ordered the man to move a chair and invite her to sit down, and asked kindly, "What do you want to eat?" The shop has just recently brought in a batch of fresh goods, why don't you try it?"
"Okay, bring all the features of your store." Tao Yao'er waved her hand.
Chu Wanxiang wrinkled her nose and muttered in a low voice, "I really don't know how to be polite."
Chu Mohan glanced at her and warned her not to talk nonsense, before he said to the shopkeeper, "Serve the best wine and food in your store, and send another set of dishes and chopsticks."
"Oh, this lord, are you new here? How can you let the master break the bank?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You can order whatever you want, and I'll let the guy do it immediately."
Chu Mohan scanned the entire restaurant: "I want to change one."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly led them upstairs and bowed respectfully to Chu Mohan.
"This restaurant was originally opened by the Su Mansion, but it was sold to the Zhang family some time ago, and now it is the Zhang family's property, so I dare to accept the Zhang family's silver, otherwise it will be offensive to the Zhang family." The shopkeeper explained.
Chu Mohan bowed slightly, expressing understanding, and then asked, "I want to find someone to ask about something, please help me introduce one or two."
"Okay, you come with me." The shopkeeper led the way in front and led him to a side hall in the backyard.
Chu Wanxiang and Chu Mohan sat at the table by the window, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a pot of plum blossom stuffing.
Chu Wanxiang took a sip of plum blossom brew and sighed comfortably: "It's so sweet."
"If you like it, drink it." Chu Mohan took a piece of pork ribs and handed it to her mouth.
Chu Wanxiang bit the ribs, chewed and swallowed.
"Is it delicious?" Chu Mohan asked.
"It's delicious." Chu Wanxiang nodded.
"Eat more if you like." Chu Mohan added some fish meat to her.
After Chu Wanxiang ate and drank enough, she touched her belly and asked him, "Are you hungry?" Let's go to the night market, I heard that the night market in Beijing is very prosperous, and there are a lot of fun things."
Chu Mohan shook his head: "I'm not tired."
"I'm tired." Chu Wanxiang stood up, "Let's go."
Chu Mohan reluctantly got up and accompanied her to the night market.
The two wandered aimlessly, and walked to a stall selling fabrics, and Chu Wanxiang took a fancy to an aqua blue brocade robe.
"Can you show me this dress?"
The fabricator agreed, "Of course."
Chu Wanxiang took off her clothes and looked left and right: "It's pretty beautiful."
Chu Mohan frowned, stared at the placket for a moment, and said, "This color is too plain."
Chu Wanxiang blinked: "I think it's pretty good."
Chu Mohan said, "I remember that you used to like to wear rose purple or crescent white clothes, although this color is bright and atmospheric, it is not suitable for you."
Chu Wanxiang suddenly realized: "That's right." She looked at the dress and put it back, "Let's buy something else."
Chu Mohan looked at her lack of interest, and comforted her softly, "I'll give it to you when I go back and let the embroiderer do it."
"No, I'm not a kid anymore, why do I always worry about clothes." Chu Wanxiang said with a smile.
"I just want to spoil you."
