The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 49 Preparations before Leaving

Tang Ren never expected that when Tang Peipei saw him, not only did he not stop the carriage, but he actually drove it faster, which made him feel ashamed.

He brushed off the dust on his face and body, and looked at the carriage going away, feeling angry.

Tang Peipei doesn't value filial piety at all. I have raised her in vain for so many years.

Tang Peipei didn't care what Tang Ren thought. She was now kicked out of the house. Apart from the people in the clan, she naturally had no relationship with Tang Ren. And for a father like Tang Ren, she naturally didn't want to pay attention to him.

Tang Peipei drove the carriage for a while, and when he was sure that Tang Ren could no longer see him, he slowed down the horse.

After Tang Peipei drove the carriage back home, she took Yuan Minkang directly to the place where they bought the carriage last time.

The waiter who sold the carriage to Tang Peipei last time was sitting in the shop bored. There were really few people coming to buy carriages during the New Year, so he might as well go home and sleep.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Tang Peipei walking towards the store door.

The waiter hurried forward and said, "Young lady, are you here to buy or rent a carriage today?"

Tang Peipei smiled at the waiter and said, "I want to buy another carriage."

The waiter greeted and took Tang Peipei to the place where they chose horses.

Tang Peipei chose a horse similar to the last time, mainly one that was docile and easy to control.

The carriage was the same model as last time, and the total cost was also sixteen taels of silver.

"Sister Peipei, where are we going next?" Yuan Minkang led the carriage and followed behind Tang Peipei.

"Let's walk around." Tang Peipei took Yuan Mingkang for a walk on the street.

Thinking that Yuan Minkang and Xiaoya had no clothes to wear, Tang Peipei brought Yuan Minkang to Yunxiu.

As soon as Shopkeeper Qi saw Tang Peipei, he came forward and greeted her warmly.

"Miss Peipei, are you here today to see us old friends or to buy fabric?"

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Both things. I'm here to buy some clothes for my brothers and sisters, and some fabrics."

Shopkeeper Qi brought Tang Peipei to the ready-made clothing department and said, "Most of the clothes here are designed by you. Which one do you want?"

Tang Peipei asked Yuan Minkang to choose by himself, and Yuan Minkang felt a little embarrassed.

"Go ahead and pick out two pieces for Xiaoya. Wear something thicker to avoid getting sick, right?"

After hearing what Tang Peipei said, Yuan Minkang started to choose clothes.

I chose two pieces of the simplest style for myself, made of ordinary cotton.

I did choose two pieces of nice patterns for Xiao Ya, and the fabric was also ordinary cotton.

"That's all." Yuan Mingkang handed the selected clothes to Shopkeeper Qi.

Shopkeeper Qi took it, handed it to the clerk waiting on the side, and took Tang Peipei and the others to the place where they bought the cloth.

Tang Peipei selected four rolls of white cotton cloth and bought several rolls of cotton and linen cloth of other colors, enough for each person in the family to make two sets of clothes.

"Shopkeeper Qi, there are many people in my family, but few people who can make clothes. I'd better ask the embroiderer in the store to make a few sets of spring clothes for my family." Tang Peipei handed all the other colors to Shopkeeper Qi.

Shopkeeper Tong Qi told the approximate sizes of the family members and which colors to use.

Tang Peipei took Yuan Minkang and got on the carriage holding the white cloth and left.

Tang Peipei didn't know that Du Yuanyuan and Zeng Xiuyuan had arrived at the store before she did.

"Is she really leaving?" Du Yuanyuan stood by the window, watching the carriage go away.

"Well, you should be relieved now." Zeng Xiuyuan also looked at the carriage going away.

Du Yuanyuan sneered, "What you said is very strange. I have never been worried before."

Zeng Xiuyuan looked at her, "Really? Then why did you go and find out who the little girl's father is without telling anyone?"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Du Yuanyuan did not try to cover it up. "I was just curious. She looked like an ordinary village girl. How could she have such courage and still insist on giving birth to the child even after being kicked out of the house?"

In fact, she was really curious and even had a little admiration for Tang Peipei.

She wondered if she had the courage to accept everyone's strange looks and give birth to a child whose father was unknown.

Therefore, it is true that the third daughter of the county magistrate's family has a weird personality. In this era, who would admire a person who gave birth to a child out of wedlock?

Zeng Xiuyuan didn't care about her true thoughts. He just didn't want her shame to be ruthlessly exposed, so he warned her: "Don't bother to investigate anymore, otherwise don't say I didn't warn you."

Who is Du Yuanyuan? Would she be afraid of Zeng Xiuyuan's warning? Of course not, but she really couldn't investigate further because there was no clue at all. This made her even more curious, but also made her sure that this man was not ordinary.

Du Yuanyuan said: "Don't worry, I don't have the ability to check it."

Zeng Xiuyuan looked at Du Yuanyuan. She was the beloved daughter of County Magistrate Du. County Magistrate Du's identity was also extraordinary. He must have many connections, so how could Du Yuanyuan be unable to investigate?

"What do you mean?" Zeng Xiuyuan asked.

"What I mean is that the identity of Tang Peipei's lover is not ordinary, and it is not something that small people like us can check." After saying that, he ignored Zeng Xiuyuan and walked downstairs, saying as he walked, "Let's go, I should go back."

Tang Peipei went home and gave the newly bought cloth to her mother.

"Why did you buy so much cloth again?" Tang's mother asked, all of them were white cotton cloth.

Tang Peipei: "I bought this to make underwear for everyone. Mother, please trouble you and Madam Yuan to make it in the next few days."

"We already have clothes to wear, why do we need new ones? It will cost so much money," said Nanny Yuan.

We are about to go on a long trip with so many people, and the travel expenses will be quite high. Isn't it a waste to spend this money?

Tang Peipei naturally had her own plans. Seeing that her mother and Aunt Yuan looked disapproving, Tang Peipei expressed her thoughts.

"Mother, Madam Yuan, I think the journey is long, and we don't know what will happen along the way, so I plan to sew a few secret pockets on everyone's underwear, and everyone will carry some, so that if we accidentally separate on the road, we won't starve, right?"

After hearing what Tang Peipei said, Tang's mother and Aunt Yuan thought it made sense, so they said that they would make the underwear for everyone as soon as possible.

The next day, Tang Peipei took Yuan Mingkang to the bookstore and bought some medical books. They then went to the pharmacy and bought some common medicines, such as those for treating typhoid fever, hemostatics, and anti-inflammatory drugs, just in case.

After returning home, Tang Peipei boiled the medicine into pills for easy carrying.

He told Tang's mother and Aunt Yuan that he wanted to read medical books and learn medicine, for fear that someone might get sick on the way and there would be no place to treat them.

Tang's mother and Aunt Yuan thought it was a good thing. They believed that since Tang Peipei could read, it should not be difficult for her to study medicine, so they didn't say much.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Ya heard that Tang Peipei wanted to study medicine, she quietly walked to Tang Peipei and asked in a low voice: "Sister Peipei, can I study with you?"

Tang Peipei didn't hear clearly at first, so she turned around and looked at Xiaoya and asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Ya thought Tang Peipei was unwilling, so she shook her head and said, "Nothing." Then she was ready to turn around and leave.

Tang Peipei shook her head helplessly. This girl was too timid.

She reached out and held Xiao Ya, squatted down and looked her in the eye, "Sister, I really didn't hear what you said just now? Can you say it again?" Tang Peipei said in a gentle tone.

Xiao Ya felt relieved, so she boldly said, "I want to study medicine with my sister, is that okay?"

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you can't read yet. How about I teach you to read first, and then learn medical skills when you can read medical books by yourself?"

Seeing that Tang Peipei agreed to teach her how to read, Xiaoya smiled happily and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Peipei!"

Tang Peipei rubbed the little girl's head, "You're welcome."
