Xia Wanniang didn't know much about the prices of Chinese herbs here. She still had more than twenty taels of silver in her hand, and she didn't know if it was enough to buy these herbs: "Husband, are these herbs expensive?"

Xiao Chiye knew that she was worried about not having enough money, so he leaned close to her and whispered, "The herbs at Jishidiang are very cheap. I also told Shopkeeper Hong to get the cheapest herbs, and only buy one penny for each."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "One penny is enough."

Xiao Chiye: "When the common people here come to buy medicine, a dose of common cold medicine only costs a little over ten coins."

Xia Wanniang calculated in her mind that no matter what medicinal herbs were used, a dose of more than ten cents was indeed not expensive.

Shopkeeper Hong checked twice and confirmed that the amount was correct before he looked up at the two people: "The total is seventeen taels, nine coins and thirty coins."

When Xia Wanniang heard this, she immediately felt relieved and took out some silver and placed it on the counter: "Boss, please count it."

When Shopkeeper Hong saw the silver and money she took out, he counted them and found nothing wrong, so he asked his clerk to pack up the herbs and put them in their backpacks.

Xiao Chiye bowed to Shopkeeper Hong and said, "Shopkeeper Hong, I have something else to do today. I will come to invite you in person another day."

Shopkeeper Hong waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Remember to buy me a drink when you are free."

Xiao Chiye said goodbye to him and walked out of the pharmacy: "Wan Niang, how come you have so much money?"

Xia Wanniang told him what happened in the cloth shop, including the drawing of the blueprint proposed by Master Qi: "I can't read or draw, so I didn't agree to it."

Xiao Chiye was slightly surprised. He didn’t really think that she was illiterate. “I’m good at drawing, but I don’t know what kind of picture you need to draw.”

He paused and said, "If you want to learn to read, I can teach you. Mother can read, too."

Xia Wanniang was not actually illiterate, but the characters here were different from those she knew before. She knew that this place was called Luocheng because of the original owner's memory: "Okay."

The two men didn't dare to delay in the city. The sooner they could get rid of the poisonous insect in Xiao Zimu's body, the sooner they could feel at ease.

There were already ox carts outside the city gate. They happened to see an ox cart going back, so they got on it without saying a word.

"Have you heard? The ready-made clothes sold by Qing He Yi are in great demand today." A young woman on the ox cart said to the person next to her.

"what clothes?"

"I happened to see these clothes when I went to Qing He Clothing to buy some fabrics today. They are really beautiful! The styles are beautiful, and the workmanship is also beautiful. I think those young men and women will look beautiful in them!"

A woman said sourly: "That price is not something that ordinary people like us can afford."

The young woman who started to speak pursed her lips and said, "One ounce and one coin of silver for a body."

"What? Did you hear it right?" Everyone on the ox cart was attracted.

The young woman raised her chin when she saw so many people looking at her: "Is it cheap? I thought at first that such beautiful clothes would cost a few taels of silver, but who knew they could sell it so cheaply."

"If you say so, we can buy one if we save some money."

"Don't even think about it. There are so many people waiting to buy now."

Xiao Chiye turned his head and looked at Xia Wanniang: "Yours?"

Xia Wanniang was not sure. After all, she did not recognize the characters here, and she was not very clear about what was written on the plaque: "I don't know."

Xiao Chiye smiled faintly: "Good news."

Xia Wanniang blinked, said nothing, and yawned.

Xiao Chiye saw that she was a little sleepy: "Lean on me and sleep for a while. It will take a long time to get back from here."

Xia Wanniang hugged his arms, rested her head on him and closed her eyes.

When the people in the ox cart saw this scene, they were so jealous that they were about to bubble over. However, when they saw Xiao Chiye's indescribable face, they all felt relieved.

He has grown up like this, but he still doesn't treat his wife better. That would scare people to death.

The ox cart was not very comfortable to ride on, it was a bit bumpy and shaking.

Xiao Chiye reached out and simply held her in his arms, allowing her to sleep more comfortably leaning against him.
