The general's wife knows medicine

Several people came out of the horse market and went straight back to their residence.

Wu San asked the kitchen to prepare lunch. After lunch, Tang Peipei thought about what she had promised Lu Xinyu last night to buy medicinal seeds, so she asked Wu San.

Wu San didn't know where to buy it, so he said, "I don't know where to buy the medicine seeds either. Why don't we ask Shopkeeper Qin? He should know more clearly."

After they had their meal, they set off for Qingya Cloth Shop.

But when they arrived at the cloth shop, Manager Qin was not there, which made them not know where to go.

Wu San asked the shop assistant, "Do you know where to buy medicine seeds?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of any place in Suzhou that specializes in selling medicine seeds, but you can go to the East Market, where they specialize in selling groceries and sell everything. You can go and have a look."

Wu San looked at Tang Peipei and asked for her opinion.

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Let's go, thank you, brother!"

To the waiter, Tang Peipei was a customer, and he felt a little embarrassed that Tang Peipei was so polite to a fellow waiter like him.

Tang Peipei and his companions asked for the direction of East Market and headed towards it.

The few of them drove a horse-drawn carriage, which took about three cups of tea, or about half an hour.

The East Market is outside the east gate of Suzhou City. There are many vendors there, selling all kinds of things.

Tang Peipei actually saw someone selling glass beads. Glass beads are not uncommon in modern times. They are glass marbles.

But it was a rare item in ancient times. Tang Peipei went forward to ask the price. A string of glass beads actually cost one or two taels of silver. Tang Peipei turned around and left.

She must be crazy to spend one tael of silver to buy twenty or so glass beads.

Lu Xinyu looked at those beautiful glass beads and liked them very much, but she also knew that they were too expensive.

Tang Peipei saw a stall selling furs, and thinking that he didn't know how to design the goods at home, he squatted down to ask about the price.

No one makes fake fur these days, so there is no need to worry about buying fakes.

"Hey, little guy, how much is this fur?" Tang Peipei asked as he picked up a piece of rabbit fur.

The young man said quickly, "I hunted all these on the mountain myself. The rabbit fur is two taels of silver per piece."

Tang Peipei looked at his other furs again, "What about this?"

It was a civet cat's fur, and the yellow and white pattern was quite pretty.

The young man said, "This is the fur of a civet cat. I got it by accident. It is very rare."

After hearing what he said, Tang Peipei knew that the price would probably not be cheap.

Then he said, "If you want this, give me thirteen taels of silver."

Tang Peipei saw that he still had two fox furs, so he asked, "Where are those two fox furs?"

The young man was a little impatient when he saw Tang Peipei only asked the price but didn't say he wanted to buy. However, thinking that it was rare for someone to ask, he had to patiently say, "I'll sell that fox fur for forty-five taels of silver."

Tang Peipei thought about it and felt that the price would probably not be much different.

Then he said, "I want all these furs. Give me a reasonable price."

When the young man heard that Tang Peipei wanted all of them, he couldn't hide his joy in his eyes and said, "Since you are so forthcoming, I will give you a generous price. For five rabbit skins, give me eight taels, for one civet skin, give me ten taels, and for two fox skins, give me eighty taels. My furs are all intact, and they are absolutely worth the price."

Tang Peipei said: "Okay, then you can wrap it up for me."

Lu Lifeng took the bag that the young man had packed, and Tang Peipei gave him ninety-eight taels of silver.

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Lifeng suddenly said, "Peipei, look, is that General Mu?"

Tang Peipei looked in the direction of his finger, and only saw a piece of clothing flash by, but no one.

"Where?" Lu Xinyu didn't see it either, and stood on tiptoe to look at the crowd.

"It seems to be going that way." Lu Lifeng pointed to an intersection ahead.

Tang Peipei chased after him without saying a word.

Others quickly followed.

When Tang Peipei and the others arrived at the intersection, they didn't even see a piece of Mu Jintang's clothes.

Lu Lifeng scratched his head and said, "Did I see it wrong?"

Tang Peipei knew that Lu Lifeng was definitely not mistaken, it must be Mu Jintang.

She instantly felt dissatisfied with Mu Jintang. You are so bad, Mu Jintang, General Mu, for not contacting her after coming to Suzhou.

At this moment, Tang Peipei's mind flashed the familiar figure he saw when selecting the oiran at the gate of Yihongyuan last night. He understood instantly and became furious.

He looked at Wu San who was traveling with him with an unfriendly look.

Wu San was frightened by being stared at. Miss Tang had been so kind all along the way, but why did her eyes look so scary now? He wanted to run away~~

But Tang Peipei didn't give him a chance to escape and asked directly: "Do you know he is coming?"

Tang Peipei's question was incoherent, but everyone present except Lu Lifeng understood what she meant.

Lu Xinyu was so excited. He was indeed her future brother-in-law, and he even went to Suzhou to pursue her.

Wu San did know that Mu Jintang was here, but he only found out last night. How could he explain it?

When Tang Peipei saw Wu San hesitating, she knew that he must have known it.

His face softened instantly, and he asked, "When did he arrive?"

Seeing that Tang Peipei was no longer angry, Wu San breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He arrived yesterday morning, but I only found out about it in the evening."

Last night? "Where did he stay last night?"

Wu San nodded, without any sense that he had betrayed his master.

Tang Peipei laughed angrily, "Okay, that's great."

"Let's go, we still need to find some medicine seeds."

Lu Xinyu silently lit a candle for her future brother-in-law and said in her heart: "Brother-in-law, you take care of yourself."

Then quickly follow Tang Peipei's pace.

Although Lu Lifeng clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right, he couldn't figure out why and could only follow silently.

Wu San lowered his head, wondering if he could find an opportunity to report to his master. Miss Tang looked very angry.

Although I was smiling, the temperature around me felt like winter, so cold!!!

The last few people bought medicine from an old man. The quantity was quite large, with seventeen kinds of medicinal materials. The total cost was not much, only one hundred and seventy cents.

After buying the seeds of medicine, the work was almost done.

Tang Peipei did not take the initiative to look for Mu Jintang, and pretended not to know he was coming.

I take Lu Xinyu and Lu Lifeng out to play every day.

Mu Jintang knew that Tang Peipei was angry because of official business, but it was not a good idea for her to show up right now, so she could only let Wu San serve her well.

But because Wu San knew about the matter but did not report it, Tang Peipei did not let him get close to her except as a guide.

Wu San was also helpless and didn't know what to do.

After two days of fun in Suzhou, Tang Peipei decided to head back to Beijing.

There is also a little boy named Tuanzi at home. She hasn’t seen him for a long time and doesn’t know how he is doing or whether he misses her.

Tang Peipei, who missed her son so much, finally set off for Beijing on the fifth day after coming to Suzhou.
