Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Zi Er smiled and said, "Okay. Miss, today all the goods are 20% off, a total of eight taels of silver."

"What? Still eight taels after a 20% discount? The original price is ten taels?" Wei Ling'er's personal maid was greatly surprised.

Ten taels of silver was equivalent to a wealthy family's monthly allowance of one thousand jin.

Yu Qianxiu also thought it was too expensive.

Although she didn't go shopping often, she knew that ten taels of silver could buy several servants. Moreover, although the Yu family was well-known, they didn't have much wealth and were considered a noble family.

"How long can this mask last?" she asked, frowning slightly.

Zi'er's expression did not show any abnormality, she was still very respectful, and replied with a smile: "If you use this mask every day, one bottle can be used for about twenty days."

"Ah, two cans can only be used for more than a month." Wei Ling'er's maid pouted. She was usually very favored in front of Wei Ling'er and had no scruples when speaking.

"Miss, these two bottles of facial masks will cost you a month's salary. How can they be so expensive?"

Wei Ling'er was also a little hesitant.

She had also bought a lot of rouge and powder, many of which were from famous brands, but none of them were as expensive as this facial mask.

Zi'er did not try to persuade them, but just stood there quietly, waiting for them to make their own decision.

At this moment, a young girl came out from the cubicle, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Oh, isn't this Sister Tong?" Wei Linger greeted her hurriedly.

Tong Qian walked towards Wei Ling'er and said with a smile: "When I heard your voice in there, I knew it was you. How could such a lively place be without a little girl like you?"

The two of them acted very familiar with each other and started joking with each other as if no one was around.

Yu Qianxiu frowned slightly and glanced at Tong Qian.

She knew Tong Qian. Her father was only a minor official of the fifth rank and her mother came from a merchant family. In this capital city filled with high-ranking officials and royal families, her family background was considered very ordinary.

She didn't understand how Wei Ling'er could know such a girl and become good friends with her.

"Wow! Sister Tong, you look so good. Sister Tong, what kind of makeup did you use?" Wei Linger stared at Tong Qian's face in surprise and shouted.

Tong Qian was beautiful, she had always known it. But she had never expected that she would be this beautiful. Her skin was like a peeled egg, crystal clear and radiant.

Wei Linger suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Ah, look at me, I forgot that Sister Tong's maternal family is a big merchant selling cosmetics. These balms and powders are really nourishing. Sister Tong, when can you bring me some?"

Zi'er glanced at Wei Ling'er speechlessly.

Even Yu Qianxiu felt a little embarrassed.

How dull and stupid must one be to praise the products of a cosmetics store in another store?

"You are still so outspoken." Tong Qian tapped Wei Ling'er's smooth forehead with her finger, half-smiling and half-smiling, "Don't you see whose territory we are standing on? What was I doing just now?"

"What...what are you doing?" Wei Ling'er asked stupidly.

"Ms. Wei, Miss Tong is doing skin care just now." Zi'er took a step forward and explained to her with a smile.

Wei Linger finally reacted and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You mean, your skin is so good because of that... that skin care?"

Tong Qian nodded, and gently stroked her face, which was almost as wet as water, and couldn't help but sighed: "I came here today, initially wanting to see how the products in this store are, and whether they are as good as those in my grandparents' shop. But I didn't expect that after using the facial mask of this shop for skin care, I really...really feel inferior."

"Is this facial mask really good?" Wei Linger was amazed.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Tong Qian still nodded: "My skin has always been relatively dry, and it has been slightly yellow these days. But after applying the mask just now, do you see any changes in my complexion?"

“It’s getting whiter and brighter.”

Tong Qian nodded: "Do you think this mask is good?"

Wei Linger chuckled and said, "You praised this facial mask so much that people who don't know the truth would think that this Li Yan Fang was opened by your family."

"Good is good, bad is bad. What does it have to do with which store it is from?" Tong Qian blinked and smiled, "To be honest, five taels of silver per jar is a fair price. If I'm not mistaken, this mask should contain several precious medicinal herbs for skin care and beauty."

Zhenniang, who came upstairs later, heard it and nodded secretly. She smiled and said to Tong Qian, "Miss Tong is indeed a sincere, kind and open-minded woman. If my Miss Lu sees you, she will definitely like you."

"Miss Lu?" This was the second time Wei Linger heard this person, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shopkeeper, is the Miss Lu you are talking about the second owner of Liyanfang?"

"Yes." Zhenniang nodded with a smile.

"Wow! It's really her." Wei Ling'er was excited and asked hurriedly, "What kind of person is Miss Lu? Is she pretty? Is she as capable as Sister Tong? She..."

"Ling'er, don't be rude." Yu Qianxiu interrupted Wei Ling'er unhappily. She didn't like hearing the three words "Miss Lu" all the time, which made her feel annoyed and uneasy for no reason.

Wei Linger stuck out her tongue. Although she kept her mouth shut, she blinked and looked at Zhenniang, obviously waiting for her answer.

Zhen Niang smiled and said, "In fact, I have never seen Miss Lu, but our master admires Miss Lu very much and calls her a rare and extraordinary woman."

"Your master must be Master Rong, right?" Wei Linger couldn't help but speak up. "Master Rong is well-informed and has a very high vision. Even he admires Miss Lu. Miss Lu must have something extraordinary. Master Rong called Miss Lu an extraordinary woman. How extraordinary is she?"

Zhenniang asked her, "Do you remember the epidemic that happened half a year ago?"

Wei Linger nodded: "I know. It first came from Prince Chen, oh no, it came from the fiefdom of the rebel prince. Later, I heard that someone in the capital was infected, but it was quickly brought under control and was hardly affected. I heard that it was a peasant girl among the people..."

At this point, Wei Linger's eyes widened: "I remember that the peasant girl's surname was Lu. Could it be this Miss Lu?"

Zhen Niang nodded: "Yes, it is this Miss Lu. Miss Lu is a superb doctor, saving the dying and the wounded, and has done countless merits. She has also received a reward from the current emperor."

Wei Linger was full of admiration: "She is so amazing! I really want to meet her!"

Zhenniang was extremely happy and was about to speak when she heard a cold snort from the side.

"A woman who shows up in public like a man, even if she has saved many people, will lose her reputation. Who will dare to marry her in the future?"

Zhenniang's expression froze slightly, and she turned around and glared at Yu Qianxiu angrily.

Yu Qianxiu felt unhappy.

How dare a slave stare at her so disrespectfully?

"Sister Yu, how can you say that?" Wei Linger didn't want to stand on Yu Qianxiu's side this time.

At home, she had heard her father praise Miss Lu, who cured the plague. Her father sighed at the time, saying that it was God's blessing that such a wonderful woman appeared, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died from the plague and their families would have been destroyed. He also said that the reward given by the emperor was too little, and that it would not be too much to give Miss Lu the title of county lady.

"Ms. Lu is a remarkable woman of our time!" Wei Linger said loudly.

Tong Qian nodded and agreed, "Ling'er is right. Miss Yu, Miss Lu saved the people from disaster and made contributions to the country. She is indeed a remarkable woman. We can only look up to and admire such a woman. How can we bear to slander her?"

Yu Qianxiu's expression changed, and she scolded him harshly: "Are you teaching me a lesson? You are just a small merchant's daughter, are you qualified to talk to me?"

Tong Qian's expression changed slightly. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly she thought of Yu Qianxiu's identity and felt a little cautious, so she closed her mouth again.

When Wei Linger saw Yu Qianxiu scolding her friend like this, her eyes immediately turned red. She stared at her in disbelief: "Sister Yu, you...how did you become like this? You have always been well-educated and polite, how could you say such a thing?"
