After leaving the pawnshop, Lin Yilan dragged Xiao Mo, who had been wanting to rush back to retrieve the treasure, and leisurely strolled along the streets. Of course, the premise was that he had to ignore the plaintive voice in his ear."Miss! Why didn't you tell me that the chair was such a treasure! Miss, how could you sell them? Miss, we've suffered a loss…"
Lin Yilan let out a long sigh. She was no longer in the mood to go shopping. It was better for her to finish her business and go back as soon as possible so that she wouldn't be missed to death by this little old woman, Xiao Mo!
After walking around the street a few times, he finally found the shop he was looking for. He immediately picked up Xiao Mo, who had never shut his mouth, and stepped into the shop.
"May I ask what medicine you want?" Seeing Lin Yilan looking at the medicinal herbs on the counter as soon as she entered and looking around for something, the owner who had not been able to get the prescription could not help but ask in puzzlement.
"Boss, I'm not buying medicine. I want to ask if the herbs here have been processed. Do you have anything fresh? I want to take it back and plant it." As she didn't know where to find the antidote, Lin Yilan could only go to the medicine shop to ask.
" Miss, you want to buy it and plant it?!" The boss repeated in disbelief. Could this woman in front of him have any hidden illness? When his gaze shifted to the little girl behind Lin Yilan who was waving her arms and mumbling something, the boss confirmed his thoughts and quickly shook his head."No, no! The shop only sells herbs, not plants. Miss, please go back!”What kind of suffering was he going through? Two mentally unstable women came, and he could still buy medicine to plant? He was just a small business, alright?
Lin Yilan looked at her boss, who was suddenly on guard and had a sad face, in confusion. She then pulled Xiao Mo away.
After walking around the street for a long time and entering many medicine shops, everyone's reaction was the same as the owner of the first medicine shop. Lin Yilan's originally high spirits instantly disappeared. It had been a whole day, and even the sun was about to set. However, other than having a huge sum of money, he had not gained anything. For the entire day, the two of them had not even drunk a drop of water!
When a person was hungry, they were not afraid of not having anything to eat, but of not being able to eat anything despite smelling the fragrance! Lin Yilan was currently undergoing this severe test.
Lin Yilan looked up at the luxuriously decorated building and saw the people inside eating so happily…Her stomach started to protest.
" Miss..." Surrendering to the delicious food in front of him, Xiao Mo finally forgot the chair he had been reading about for the whole day and moved pitifully to Lin Yilan's side. This was a restaurant as big as the capital! According to the other young ladies, everything inside was extremely delicious! Moreover, it was said that the head chef here used to be an imperial chef. One could imagine how delicious the food inside would be! In the past, Xiao Mo wouldn't even dare to think about it. But now, Miss didn't seem as fierce as before…More importantly, Miss was rich now!
Lin Yilan looked at Xiao Mo's expectant eyes and then looked at the luxurious restaurant. She swallowed and patted her stomach to comfort herself and Xiao Mo."Just bear with it! I haven't completed my great task yet, so how can I be tempted by these external things…Although these things will enter my body later…"
She patted Xiao Mo's head. Xiao Mo's eyes were filled with shock and resentment. Lin Yilan had bought two flatbread from a stall next to this luxurious restaurant. It should taste better after being influenced by the fragrance from the restaurant?
However, just as she was about to leave with her dinner, a man with a towel draped over his shoulders ran out of the restaurant and blocked Lin Yilan's path.""Miss…Miss, please wait!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Yilan was puzzled when she saw the typical waiter panting as if he was running down the stairs.
"Miss, please come in!" Finally, after calming down, the waiter respectfully made a "please" gesture.
"Eh?" Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment before she immediately shook her head." You guys might have misunderstood. I don't plan on going in.”Once she went in, the medicinal herbs would be reduced by more than half! She had spent the entire morning's saliva on this hard-earned money…to earn it! If he were to eat it like this, wouldn't it hurt to death?
"No, it's a customer of our shop who wants to invite you up for a gathering.”
"Guest?" She could sense the respect in the waiter's voice when he mentioned the guest. He must be a big shot. But she didn't remember knowing anyone in ancient times.
"Is he treating me?" This was very important.
"Yes!" The waiter hurriedly nodded, afraid that Lin Yilan wouldn't agree. Actually, he didn't know why the distinguished guest invited this lady. She wasn't particularly outstanding!
"Where is he?" Lin Yilan wanted to confirm if she had seen this person before.
"Third floor. Here, you can see it from here! That guest is sitting in the private room next to this side."
Lin Yilan looked in the direction the waiter was pointing at. The mysterious guest on the third floor was also looking at Lin Yilan. Their gazes met.
The lights had just come on, and the sky was already a little dark. This was just when the street had just begun to be lively. The number of people on the street gradually increased. There were hawkers, tourists, and people seeking pleasure... A woman stood in the middle of the street, looking up at the people upstairs quietly. The people in the private room also stood up and leaned against the window, looking at the woman below with probing eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he gave Lin Yilan a friendly smile.
This smile was enough to make a woman scream. So far, it seemed that no woman could remain calm after seeing his smile.
However, what that person didn't know was that Lin Yilan couldn't see that smile at all. No, to be precise, she couldn't even see what this person looked like. The only thing she could be sure of was that the person was a man, and he had a strong presence because there were many people who seemed to be guards standing beside him.
Like many students, Lin Yilan was also short-sighted. Even though she didn't have a lot of vision, she still couldn't see things clearly from a distance, let alone in this dim light. Moreover, the room was lit, and the person was standing against the light. Who could see what he looked like? Actually, Lin Yilan had felt that something was wrong when she first came to this world. This body looked only eighteen years old, but she was clearly already twenty-two years old. However, her " short-sightedness " reminded her that this body was indeed hers…
The main point now was not whether he could see it clearly, but why he was treating them. Although she didn't know what that person looked like, Lin Yilan was certain that she had never seen him before. Since they didn't know each other, then if he was trying to curry favor for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief!
Lin Yilan rushed in the direction of that person and fiercely bit the flatbread in her hand before making a face. She turned around and walked to the other side of the street. She pulled Xiao Mo, who was waiting for her, and left elegantly.
His deep black eyes looked at the back of the disappearing crowd, and his beautiful thin lips curled up.
"Silver, investigate her background."
"Yes, sir!"
The alley on the main street was dark and quiet. The noise outside was faint here. With the help of the colorful lights on the street, he could barely see two people walking one after the other.
"Miss, why did you take so long just now?”As she chewed on the flatbread in her hand, the hungry little girl had long forgotten about the delicacies in the restaurant. What she could eat was delicious!
Lin Yilan laughed as she patted her little face, which was stuffed with oil. She didn't intend to answer, but a trace of pity flashed across her face. This innocent child still had to suffer with her...
"Xiao Mo, I will treat you well." His voice was quiet and his tone was unusually firm.
"Huh?" Her small mouth that hadn't swallowed the food opened slightly, and her deer-like eyes stared at Lin Yilan in shock. Then, her eyes gradually filled with tears.
" Miss…" Sob sob, Miss said she would treat her well! She was so happy! Has Miss accepted me? Had she really used her sincerity to influence Miss? Would Miss not hit her again? Boohoo, Chief, thank you for assigning me to Miss 'side!
The process was touching, but the result was shocking. The little girl, whose mouth was stuffed with food, choked as soon as she opened her mouth. She strangled her neck, her face flushed red and tears welled up in her eyes as she squatted at the side and patted her chest. It could only be said that this girl was lucky. The person standing beside her was not Gu Yin, but Doctor Lin. In a few moments, the crisis was resolved.
"Miss!" The child cried as he threw himself into Lin Yilan's arms. He threw the master and servant salute outside Xiao Yun, his tears and snot all rubbing onto Lin Yilan's clothes.
God, thank you for letting Miss catch a cold! Xiao Mo would definitely devote himself to Buddhism in the future! I'll be the first to go to the temple to offer incense to you after I get paid! The young lady was really good! She shouldn't have secretly complained about Miss squandering in the morning!
Lin Yilan's heart ached as she looked at the dress she liked that was covered in all kinds of liquids. She was filled with regret! Why did you say such sensational words just now! This was the only refreshing piece of clothing that she, Gu, had dug out from her collection of vulgar, exaggerated, and jeweled clothes. Now, the latter piece had also been poisoned…Hmm, no, it was poison! When we get back, I'll definitely make this girl clean her up!
After finally pacifying this innocent child who would be touched by anyone who treated her well, Lin Yilan finally found the " herbal medicine cultivation base " she was looking for.
At that time, the owner's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Yilan. He deeply remembered that when King Jing's group of beautiful women entered the capital, this beautiful woman had spent a lot of money for a hairpin! Moreover, now that she had entered the Prince's mansion, according to the wealth of King Jing's mansion, how could he not be happy that such a God of Fortune had come to visit?
After less than half an hour, his originally sunny face suddenly turned dark, his face alternating between green and white. How did the generous God of Fortune become so stingy in just a month?! Moreover, his mouth was so powerful that he made himself lose his mind and sell the herbs worth more than 1,000 taels for five taels without knowing why! He did not want to live anymore!
Looking in the direction where Lin Yilan had disappeared with a huge pile of herbs, the shop owner felt his heart ache! Did this beautiful girl enter the palace or the slums?
Of course, Lin Yilan couldn't be blamed for being stingy. She wanted to buy thousands of herbs, most of which were very expensive. She only had five taels on hand, so she could only haggle with the boss. Anyway, she was thick-skinned. However, it was not enough to just have shamelessness. One had to have a sharp mouth too. This was all thanks to the aunties in the market. Back then, when she was kicked out of the house by her mother to buy groceries, she was tricked by those "profiteers" into buying a green onion for three yuan! Hence, Lin Yilan actively summed up her experience in the subsequent struggles. When others were bargaining, she would humbly listen and take notes. That was how she became who she was today! Reality proved that the wisdom of modern aunties had defeated the profiteers of ancient times.
"Miss, why do we need to buy this grass?”Xiao Mo asked in confusion as he dragged two big bags of things that were heavier than the chair in the morning.
"Fuck? You ignorant fellow! These are all treasures!" Lin Yilan rolled her eyes at Xiao Mo in disappointment. She held the heavy object in her hands tightly. Lin Yilan's excitement was indescribable.
Her dream was so close that she could reach out and grab it!
However, the important problem had not been solved yet!
"Little Mo, has His Highness returned to the residence?" Lin Yilan asked as she turned to Xiao Mo.”
"He should have returned by now.”Xiao Mo looked at Lin Yilan strangely. He didn't understand. Didn't Miss spend a lot of money to know His Highness 'schedule?
"Is that so? That's good!" A hint of craftiness flashed across Lin Yilan's eyes. She seemed to have seen a beautiful future!
