God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 27 Buying a Carriage
That day, Lu Tingyan sat by the window, embroidering a handkerchief in her hands, but her mind was not on this. She thought of her family's embroidery workshop, and she had to transport goods to Yanwan Embroidery Workshop every day, but there was only one ox cart at home, which was not only slow, but also could not carry much goods. If she could buy a horse carriage, it would not only improve efficiency, but also carry more goods.
She put down the handkerchief in her hand, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room. Buying a carriage would cost a lot of money. Although the family had enough savings, they couldn't spend it all at once. Moreover, she didn't know where to buy a carriage, let alone what kind of carriage would be suitable for her family's embroidery workshop.
"Yan'er, what are you thinking about?" Su walked into the room and saw that her daughter looked worried, so she asked with concern.
Lu Tingyan told her mother her idea, and Su nodded after listening, "You are right, buying a carriage is indeed much more convenient. However, buying a carriage is not a trivial matter, we need to discuss it carefully."
"Mom, I know it costs a lot of money to buy a carriage, but our embroidery workshop can't continue like this." Lu Tingyan said.
Su thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's go ask your father for his opinion and see what he says."
Lu Tingyan nodded, "Okay, let's go find dad now."
The mother and daughter came to the study, where Doctor Lu was reading. Lu Tingyan told her father her idea, and Doctor Lu pondered for a moment, "Buying a carriage is a good idea, but we can't buy it blindly. We have to understand the market first and see what kind of carriage is suitable. What if we buy an old horse?"
"Dad, you're right. Then when are we going to go and see?" Lu Tingyan asked.
"Let's wait until after the Little New Year, then I'll go with you." Doctor Lu said.
After hearing this, Lu Tingyan said happily: "That's great, I feel relieved that my father will accompany me."
"However, we can't be in a hurry to buy a carriage. We need to look around and compare more before we can buy a suitable carriage." Doctor Lu reminded.
"I understand, Dad." Lu Tingyan said. "Then let's go to town today, or ask Brother Shangyuan to go with us."
Doctor Lu said, "That's fine! Yuan'er, you've been recuperating for a while, it's time to go out for a walk."
Su asked worriedly, "Yuan'er, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people who assassinated him if you go out?"
Doctor Lu said, "It's been so long, it shouldn't be a big problem."
So, Lu Tingyan came to Jun Moyuan's room and invited him to go to the town together. Jun Moyuan readily agreed, as he also wanted to go out and see the outside world.
Then the family set off towards the town in a bullock cart. Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianxuan greeted Uncle Li politely.
"Who is this young man? Why haven't I seen him before?" Uncle Li, who was pulling the cart, asked curiously.
"He, he is my distant cousin, who came to live with my family, and my father adopted him as his godson," Lu Tingyan explained quickly. She didn't want others to know Lu Tianyuan's true identity, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"So that's how it is! Congratulations!" Uncle Li nodded, turned to Doctor Lu and said, "Doctor Lu, are you and your family all going to town?"
"Well, Madam and my daughter have opened an embroidery workshop. It's not convenient to go in and out now, so I plan to go and look at the carriages."
"Then you have to look carefully and don't buy an old horse. You have to register the purchase of a horse with the county government."
"Thank you! Uncle Li for the reminder."
"Oh! It's different when you have money. You can even buy a carriage. We are all from the same village, but why don't you help each other?" Wang said sarcastically.
"Wang! Why didn't Doctor Lu's family help the villagers? Doctor Lu taught everyone to identify simple medicinal herbs and sell them. Madam Su opened an embroidery shop so that my wife could have a meal." Aunt Lu's husband said
"Humph! If you have work to do, you will definitely speak for them."
"Wang, if you say anything more, get off the ox cart and I'll give you your money back." Li Xiaoda said angrily
"You..." Wang
When they arrived in town, Lu Tingyan and her family took Lu Tianyuan for a stroll. Although Lu Tianyuan was a prince, he grew up in the palace and rarely had the opportunity to go shopping freely like this.
"It's so lively here!" said Lu Tianyuan.
"Yes, the town is always very lively on market days." Lu Tingyan said with a smile.
As they walked and looked around, they finally arrived at a horse inn. There were all kinds of carriages parked in the carriage shop, some gorgeous, some simple, some large, some small.
Lu Tingyan saw a white horse with snow-white hair and bright eyes. She walked up to it, gently stroked its head, and said, "This horse is so beautiful. I think it must be very docile."
Lu Tianyuan also walked forward and observed the horse carefully. He looked at the horse's teeth and hooves, and then said, "This horse is really good, but the price may be high."
Doctor Lu nodded and said, "Let's take a look at other horses. Maybe we can find a more suitable one."
Lu Tian seemed very calm. He carefully observed each carriage and asked the owner of the carriage shop some questions from time to time. Finally, he chose a black carriage with a spacious body, simple and elegant decoration, and sturdy wheels.
"Miss Lu, what do you think of this carriage?" Lu Tianyuan asked.
Lu Tingyan took a look and thought the carriage was pretty good. "Well, I think this carriage is pretty good, both practical and beautiful, but I don't like it."
The family looked at several more horses, but none of them were as attractive as the white horse. In the end, Lu Tingyan decided to buy the white horse.
"Dad, I want this horse." Lu Tingyan said.
Doctor Lu looked at his daughter, then at the white horse, and said, "Well, since you like it, buy it."
Doctor Lu also nodded, "Then let's take this one."
Seeing that they were interested in this carriage, the owner of the carriage shop began to introduce it, "This carriage is the best one in our shop. The body is made of the best wood, and the wheels are made of fine iron. It is very strong and durable. Moreover, the decoration of this carriage is also very beautiful, and it can be customized according to the needs of the guests."
After listening to the boss's introduction, Lu Tingyan became more determined in her choice. She discussed with her father and decided to buy the carriage.
Doctor Lu paid the money, and the family drove the carriage away from the horse market. They came to a teahouse and sat down to rest.
"This horse is really nice and beautiful. It will be much more convenient for us to go out in the future." Lu Tingyan said.
"Yes, with horses, we can go farther." Jun Moyuan said.
Doctor Lu and Mrs. Su were also very happy. They felt that buying a horse was a very wise decision.
After a short rest, the family got on the carriage again and prepared to go home. On the way, Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianyuan sat outside the carriage. They enjoyed the scenery along the way and chatted, feeling particularly happy.
After returning home, Lu Tingyan named the horse "Bai Xue". She would go to the stable every day to see it, feed it, and talk to it. Bai Xue also liked Lu Tingyan very much, and would neigh happily every time she saw her.
From then on, Snow White became a member of Lu Tingyan's family, bringing a lot of happiness and convenience to the family.
