LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 24 Never Made Money
For several days, there was no movement from the Madam Dowager. She just separated Nanny Xia and Chen Youfu and forbade them to meet, but she treated Chen Youfu to delicious food and drink.
Lu Chenshuang no longer paid too much attention to these things. She initially targeted the Madam and Nanny Xia only because they set traps for her and caused trouble for her from time to time.
Now that neither of them has the time to pay attention to her, she has some free time.
With nothing to do, Lu Chenshuang wanted to go to the street to join in the fun.
To be honest, she quite likes the atmosphere of the ancient market. It is not only lively and welcoming, but also allows bargaining.
Some people can fight for dozens of rounds just for a few cents.
It’s nothing like today, where most stores put up signs saying “No Bargaining”.
And few people would argue over a few cents. Although shopping becomes more efficient, it also reduces the fun.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenshuang waved his hand and took Guyu and Xiaoman to the street.
The market in the capital is as bustling as ever.
Lu Chenshuang had plenty of money and was very generous when it came to buying things.
The last time she came out, she was just wandering around the streets to get a feel for the situation in the capital.
This time she came out specifically to eat delicious food. She heard that there are many special snacks in the capital.
Like the wontons with a fragrant aroma, lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, candied haws, and whole meat hot pot.
Xiaoman and Guyu also ate with their mouths full of oil.
Xiaoman said as she ate: "Girl, why didn't I realize that the food from these roadside stalls is so delicious before."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said: "That's because you don't know how to eat, the most important thing is that your state of mind is different now.
If you have a lot on your mind, you won’t enjoy a full banquet even if you are given one.”
Xiaoman swallowed another mouthful of wonton and asked incoherently: "Miss, what is a Manchu-Han banquet? How come I have never heard of it before?"
Lu Chenshuang was speechless for a moment. She had forgotten that there had never been a dynasty called the Qing Dynasty in this era, let alone the Manchus, and naturally there was no Manchu-Han banquet.
Lu Chenshuang could only smile and said, "Actually, this is just a metaphor, referring to the best banquet in the world."
Xiaoman stuffed another mouthful of wonton and said, "That girl must be talking about the banquet at Tianxianglou.
I heard that a meal like this costs several hundred taels of silver, and ordinary people can’t afford it in their lifetime.”
Lu Chenshuang teased after hearing this: "Look at our Xiaoman, he is so angry.
Don't worry, it's just a matter of a few hundred taels of silver. When I have time, I'll take you out for a meal."
Xiaoman couldn't believe what she said and said, "Really, girl?"
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Of course it's true, when have I ever told a lie?
But you two have to wait until I make some money.
I am currently using the dowry my mother and uncle gave me, and I am embarrassed to squander this money."
Xiaoman's face fell immediately after hearing this and she said, "Then I'm afraid I will never be able to eat at Tianxianglou's banquet in my lifetime.
Because from childhood to adulthood, I have never seen the girl earn a penny."
Lu Chenshuang: ...
Why does Xiaoman speak so directly?
But thinking back, the original owner did not earn a penny in the first half of her life, but she is different, she knows how to make money.
However, Lu Chenshuang knew that Xiaoman would not believe her even if she told him now, because after she replaced the original owner, not only did she not make any money, she also squandered a lot of the original owner's dowry.
Over a thousand taels of silver were spent on rewards from both inside and outside the party, but Lu Chenshuang believed that the money he spent was all for necessary reasons.
Seeing that Xiaoman had silenced Lu Chenshuang, Guyu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Young lady has such great medical skills, I believe she will be able to make a lot of money in the future.
I am not as greedy as Xiaoman, so when the time comes, you can just convert the money you spent on the meal into silver and give it to me."
Lu Chenshuang: ...
They are really two loyal servants. Even eating can’t stop them from talking. Which maid can be as good as them?
Lu Chenshuang no longer paid any attention to the two of them and started eating by herself.
Just as the three of them finished their three bowls of wontons, they heard a noise.
A young man ran into a pharmacy in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Doctor, help, save my wife.
My wife was bleeding due to difficult labor, and Wenpo was scared when he saw this and ran away.
Please, doctor, save my wife."
Coincidentally, the wonton stall where Lu Chenshuang and her friends ate was right next to a drugstore called Baicaotang.
This Baicaotang was the pharmacy where Lu Chenshuang saved the Prince of Rongguo last time.
The doctor asked the man about his wife's condition in detail, then shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to save her, but even if I go, it will be useless.
You should prepare her funeral."
Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Add to that the difficulty in childbirth and the heavy bleeding, and the medical level is limited in ancient times, and even in modern times, it is still very dangerous.
So it’s not that the doctor is shirking his medical ethics, but that he really is powerless.
When the man saw that the doctor was unwilling to come to see her, he knelt on the ground and said, "Doctor, I beg you to take a look. Even if you really can't save her, at least let my wife feel better before she dies."
The doctor hesitated after hearing this. As a doctor, it is their duty to save the dying and heal the wounded. If he can alleviate the patient's pain, he has done his best.
However, his reputation would be affected if he continued to see patients even though he knew he couldn't save them.
Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang sighed, walked up to the man and said, "I'll go with you to see your wife."
The man saw that Lu Chenshuang was young and beautiful, and didn't look like she knew any medical skills. He was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is this girl also a doctor?"
Lu Chenshuang nodded and said, "I guess so."
In her previous life, her first profession was a forensic doctor, but she was also a doctor, and a well-known doctor of medicine.
The man was a little hesitant. Not only was Lu Chenshuang's answer ambiguous, but she also looked so young. Could she be a liar?
However, compared to the man's suspicion, the doctor was very excited when he saw Lu Chenshuang, and said: "So you are a little miracle doctor. I used the method you taught me last time to save two drowning people. You have to accept my respect."
After saying that, the doctor was about to salute Lu Chenshuang, but Lu Chenshuang quickly moved aside and said, "Curing illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a doctor. I also said last time that your ability to save lives is also my merit.
Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. The longer we delay here, the greater the danger will be for the mother.
Let's go to his home and check on the mother's condition first."
The doctor quickly agreed upon hearing this, and then said to the man: "The miracle doctor is here, why don't you lead the way.
This girl can even revive a person who has no pulse or breathing.
If she can't save your wife, I can do nothing about it."
The man finally reacted after hearing this and quickly led the way.
