The next day, when Wan Qing got the deed to the pharmacy, he nodded low to Zhiyuan. Seeing that Mo Xiang and Mei Hong were about to come in, he quickly handed the deed back and pretended to be asleep.
"Is Miss's injury feeling better?" Mo Xiang mistakenly thought that Wan Qing was really asleep, so she quickly lowered her voice and asked Zhiyuan.
Although this new maid was given by the second prince, she didn't have any airs and took care of the young lady wholeheartedly, so Mo Xiang and Mei Hong soon developed some friendship with Zhiyuan.
Zhiyuan nodded and pointed outside the room. Mo Xiang and Mei Hong turned up the stove a little more, then carefully closed the door before going out.
Only then did Wan Qing open her eyes, the smile on her lips not diminishing. You Yi, You Yi, I will never let you go in this life.
Since that day, Wan Qing often said that she wanted to eat snacks such as eyebrow cakes, so she sent Paper Kite out and asked her to slightly repair the pharmacy.
After another ten days, under the careful care of Zhiyuan and Imperial Physician Su, Wan Qing's wound was already almost healed and she was able to move around.
As soon as she was able to move around freely, Wan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked Mrs. Zuo to let her go out for some fresh air. In fact, she was thinking about the pharmacy.
Mrs. Zuo couldn't resist Wan Qing, so she asked Ba Ge'er, He Moxiang and others to follow her. She wrapped Wan Qing tightly before riding out in the sedan with her.
Although the rare antiques in the East Market were rare, they did not arouse Wan Qing's interest. He casually found an excuse and turned the sedan to the West Market. Before reaching the street corner, a crisp but not lively voice reached his ears.
"Come, come, come, don't miss it if you pass by! Whoever can meet my conditions, I will help him make money!"
"Oh, it's quite strange. Wan'er, do you want to see it?" Madam Zuo lifted up the curtain on one side and looked over, but because of the crowds on the three floors inside and outside, she couldn't see clearly the appearance of the woman who spoke.
Qing also seemed a little curious, so he also wanted her to go and have a look, "Bago, take Wan Qing to have a look. Remember to take good care of it."
Ba Geer nodded, carefully helped Wan Qing out of the sedan, and then stood in front of Wan Qing to clear the way for her, protecting Wan Qing with one hand to avoid being hit by others.
When those people saw Wan Qing's clothes and the cold-faced Bago, they automatically and consciously made way out of the way. Except for a few people who were working hard and were pushed to the back by Bago, there was no one along the way.
Stay safe and sound.
Wan Qing found a good spot and looked at it carefully.
The woman sitting cross-legged on the ground without any restraint was dressed very differently from hers, and her neatly tied hair was also very different from her current complicated bun. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she also seemed to have not slept well for several days.
Because of this, the black shadows under her eyes and the chapped lips all told everyone of her sadness.
However, looking at her expression, she didn't feel humble at all, but seemed to be doing something very natural. Which was quite strange.
"Miss, can you meet my conditions?" The woman raised her eyes and saw Zuo Wanqing, who seemed to be about the same age as herself. Seeing that she didn't look down upon him, she suddenly felt a little fond of her.
Wan Qing grinned.
Wan Qing's eyes widened slightly, as if she was shocked by this extremely bright laugh. She immediately covered her mouth and snickered for a while, before she turned her eyes to the things placed in front of the woman.
"Miss, look, this is a chessboard. There is a grid here and a grain of rice. When it comes to the second grid, you give me two grains of rice. When it comes to the third grid, you give me four grains of rice.
And so on, until the last square. Miss, if you can give me that much rice, I will go with you." The woman's curious eyes made Wan Qing a little eager to try, and she couldn't help but count carefully.
Although he was a little surprised by her way of speaking and the extremely stiff title, it was not difficult to understand. Wan Qing listened and understood the meaning of her words. He watched the woman take care of the rice grains in her hand for a while.
Put it on the first square, and then on the second square, slowly increasing each time. With her movements and the small piles of rice grains piled up on the chessboard, Wan Qing became more and more focused.
Seeing Wan Qing's excitement, Bago stayed with her to prevent anyone from making trouble. He happened to see a tea stall nearby, so he asked the man to borrow a clean chair for Wan Qing to take a look at.
As he watched, Wan Qing seemed to have figured out some tricks. His interest grew stronger, and the wonder in his eyes slowly accumulated. He also felt that his mental arithmetic was not good enough, so he looked around to see if there was any abacus.
Behind the woman happens to be a tailor shop.
"Shopkeeper, can you lend me your abacus?" Wan Qing smiled and saluted the shopkeeper, and asked Bago to give him some money.
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly. He had never seen such a kind child from a wealthy family. Because of this, he was willing to lend the child.
After getting the abacus, Wan Qing fell into his own calculations and blocked everything.
Time passed little by little, and the abacus beads made a slight sound as Wan Qing moved his fingers again and again. Mynah couldn't help being surprised by the gradually increasing number.
"Oh my God! This..." By the time Wan Qing raised his head after calculating, the woman had already dozed for a while. Wan Qing and Mrs. Zuo looked at each other, and both of them felt that they were both laughing and crying.
However, because of Wan Qing's exclamation, the woman woke up immediately. She looked around blankly and found that Wan Qing and the sedan chair not far away were the only ones left beside her. The people who had just watched had already left, so she had to pick up her energy to face Wan Qing.
.
"I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements... But, can I hire you? The monthly salary is negotiable." Wan Qing looked at her with some embarrassment, and subconsciously rubbed her hands without saying anything big. After all, although she was
Talents also depend on whether they can be retained.
The woman laughed heartily. Her original intention was just to make enough money and find herself a good master. But now that she had achieved her goal, she naturally would not let it go. "Food, clothing, clothing, housing, etc."
That’s good! Also, it’s best if I can show off my talents!”
Zuo Wanqing opened his eyes wide again, how could it be so simple? Although he could not hide the smile on his lips, he still reached out his hand to pull the woman up seriously, "I think what you want most right now is to eat well and wash up."
Get clean and get enough sleep, okay?"
The woman once again showed a big smile and hugged Wan Qing fiercely, "A confidant! A confidant!"
Bago'er and Madam Zuo were shocked, seeing that the woman actually didn't use much strength, so they didn't pull her away at Wan Qing's signal.
"Do you have a name?" Wan Qing waited for the woman to let go of her, straightened her clothes, and looked at the woman in front of her who was completely different from her, cheerful, casual, and unrestrained. She couldn't help but feel a bit of envy in her heart.
Regardless of her appearance, the woman slouched, and then returned to her serious look, "My name is Jiang Zizhen, and I am a great young man from the 21st century!"
