At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system
Chapter 238 Who is she?
The mother and her two sons were chatting and laughing as they were about to head towards the noodle stall when they ran into Jiang Yi, the apprentice of the shopkeeper Qian.
Jiang Yi was in a hurry and ran towards the city gate without any distractions. If Gu Ermiao had not stopped him, he would have disappeared long ago.
When the apprentice confirmed that the person who called him was actually the young master of Madam Lin's family, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.
Lin Qing hurriedly helped him up and walked to a corner where he would not be in the way. He said soothingly in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? Don't worry, tell me slowly."
Jiang Yi's face was pale and full of anxiety. He said in a trembling voice, "Madam, please go to the candied fruit shop quickly. Help! I'm so lucky that I actually ran into you..."
Jiang Yi was trembling and couldn't speak clearly. He wiped his tears and said, "I really don't know how to describe it in a few words. Madam, please come with me quickly. Saving my life is urgent!"
Lin Qing originally wanted to let the two children go to the noodle stall to wait for Gu Changqing first, and then she would return to the candied fruit shop alone, but both children objected, so she had to give in.
In the private room of Qian's preserved fruit shop, housekeeper Liu, who had just returned from a trip, paced back and forth nervously, feeling extremely anxious but trying to pretend to be calm.
He asked for the umpteenth time, "Old Qian, your apprentice, can he really find Madam Lin? Of course he can. Madam Lin is blessed with good fortune..."
When Butler Liu heard the door open, he stopped and was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
When he saw that the person coming was really Lin Qingshi, his heart, which had been beating in his throat, finally returned to normal. His legs immediately went weak and he thought to himself, I only have a 70% to 80% chance of saving my life!
When Lin Qing saw Butler Liu, he already understood most of what was going on, but he still waited calmly for the other party to reveal his purpose.
"My apologies, Madam. I was too conceited just now. Now I've invited you here in this way. I'm really desperate and have no other options."
Lin Qing then asked calmly, "But what's wrong with the old lady?"
Butler Liu didn't answer directly, but asked with a hint of anticipation and uneasiness, "Madam Lin, can the dietary supplement method you mentioned work quickly?"
Lin Qing shook his head.
Butler Liu sighed and said, "Alas, as expected!"
Shopkeeper Qian didn't look like a businessman with more than ten years of experience at all. He didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong at all and was still fanning the flames.
"Brother Liu, I advised you to take your wife back home early in the morning. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so helpless when the old lady was unconscious."
Lin Qing understood that there was indeed something wrong with Old Madam Tang.
Although she is not a professional medical worker and does not have 100% confidence in curing the old lady's illness, this is indeed a great opportunity to enter the Tang Mansion!
If the system knows a little bit and gives her a golden finger, maybe it can use this opportunity to win them over as allies and jointly deal with the Jia family!
【Hehe...Keep going! 】
Lin Qing was speechless.
I knew you were unreliable!
Lin Qing saw that Butler Liu was still keeping his mouth shut until now. He wondered if he had doubts or didn't want to talk about the old lady's illness in detail in front of Manager Qian.
After much thought, in order to increase his trustworthiness, Lin Qing resorted to the same old trick and used his identity as a messenger of God.
Butler Liu was knowledgeable and had many sources of information, so he naturally heard about the incident of a divine messenger in Songsi Village. However, he did not expect that the divine messenger was actually Mrs. Lin in front of him.
Feeling that the old lady could be saved, he fell to his knees with a thud, which scared the shopkeeper Qian who was scrutinizing Lin Qing to see if there was any golden light on his body. The next moment, he also knelt down.
It was really difficult to help two strong men up. The two confused children came to their senses after Lin Qing reminded them, but they couldn't move at all even with all their strength. Lin Qing could only verbally ask them to stand up quickly.
Shopkeeper Qian stood up and became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He really didn't dare to look up at Lin Qing.
Under normal circumstances, he would not believe Lin Qing's one-sided statement, but seeing that Butler Liu trusted him so much, he could not help but doubt it.
"I never thought you were actually the Lord God's Messenger! I hope Madam will forgive me for any offenses I may have caused you in the past!"
Butler Liu almost shed tears.
"With the help of the Divine Envoy, the old lady will surely be cured! Madam, if you don't have anything else to do, please come with me to your residence. The old lady's illness is completely dependent on you!"
Lin Qing naturally knew that human life was at stake, but she also did not forget Gu Ermiao's desire to stay as an apprentice.
After briefly explaining to Shopkeeper Qian that Er Miao wanted to stay, she patted his shoulder encouragingly. "You can talk to Shopkeeper Qian about the rest. Mom will go and get the people from Butler Liu first and come back to pick you up later."
"Okay, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my brother."
Shopkeeper Qian looked at Gu Ermiao's tall and handsome appearance and felt like he had picked up a great treasure. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
The son of the Lord God's messenger actually condescended to come to his own candied fruit shop to study. If people knew about this, they would be so envious that they would be unable to sleep!
He had a very reliable premonition that Qian's preserved fruit shop was going to be very successful!
The smiling shopkeeper Qian called over his only apprentice and said, "Xiao Jiang, come meet your junior brother..."
Shopkeeper Qian looked embarrassed again.
How could he make the same mistake again!
He really couldn't remember what the child's name was...
Gu Ermiao quickly took over the conversation: "Hello, Senior Brother Jiang. From now on, just call me Ermiao."
It was so hard to meet someone of the same age, and he even asked him to call him senior brother. Jiang Yi's smile was as bright as that of Shopkeeper Qian.
"Okay, okay, come, Junior Brother Ermiao, first follow me and get familiar with what we need to do every day."
Gu Ermiao turned to look at Gu Damao and was about to ask him if he could bring his brother to listen to the lecture when he saw Gu Damao pull out a book from his arms and said, "Boss, may I borrow your private room?"
Shopkeeper Qian stroked his beard in a naive manner and sat down next to Gu Damao.
"Of course, of course you can. Er Miao, go ahead and don't worry. I'll be watching here..."
"Master, you are so generous. We have come here three times, and you still don't know our names."
This made Shopkeeper Qian's forehead ooze with sweat. He wiped it hastily and said embarrassedly, "My bad, my bad."
Gu Damao frowned and lectured him coldly, "Gu Ermiao, who told you to talk to your elders like that?"
Gu Ermiao shrank his neck and apologized quickly.
"Oh, it's nothing serious, nothing serious. Children speak without restraint. Besides, it is indeed my fault. Xiao Jiang, take Er Miao out quickly. I'll be drinking tea here. Come to me if you need anything."
Butler Liu led Lin Qing out of the candied fruit shop with great respect. The Tang family sedan chair was parked at the door. The sedan bearers were wearing uniform green clothes and gray belts. One could tell at a glance that this family was either rich or noble.
Many people on the street who knew Butler Liu were very curious about who this girl was when they saw him being so humble and leading a beautiful girl.
Some people saw that although Lin Qing was not wearing any makeup, she was really beautiful. After talking with everyone, they found that no one knew this woman, so they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Could it be that Mr. Tang is also going to follow the local customs and take concubines like that evil Mr. Jia?"
"Shh, stop talking nonsense. Even though Mr. Tang rarely shows up, I've heard he's a thousand times more powerful than Mr. Jia!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I heard that the county magistrate, who looked down on others, wanted to kneel down to talk to Master Jia when he saw him!"
Noticing that Butler Liu was looking at them coldly, they quickly shut up.
Butler Liu opened the curtain for Lin Qing. Seeing that she was not in a hurry to go in, but looked around curiously, he thought that the smell inside was not fresh, so he explained rather embarrassedly:
"My Lord, please bear with me. This is the sedan chair I usually use to run errands. I'm afraid it's not in good order inside."
Lin Qingdao felt that he was really making a big deal out of nothing.
She just wanted to take a closer look. After all, in the era when she used to live, it was rare to see purely man-made means of transportation except at tourist attractions. She was simply a little surprised.
Only after actually sitting in the sedan did Lin Qing realize how perfunctory the props in the costume dramas he had watched before were.
What she was riding in was just a sedan chair owned by the housekeeper. It was spacious enough to seat three people at the same time. The seats were covered with thick and soft woolen cushions. There was a side table on the left and a low table on the right with a tea table on it.
Although Lin Qing didn't know much about wood, he knew it must be worth a lot of money by looking at its glossiness and faint fragrance.
Looking up, I saw an exquisite silver sachet with flower and bird patterns hanging from the ceiling. Although I didn't know what kind of fragrance was put in it, it was refreshing and made my mind clear when I smelled it.
Although she couldn't recognize the fabric used to cover the sedan, it was extremely windproof and had good sound insulation.
Lin Qing quietly lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that the sedan chair bearers' speed had actually caught up with the carriages on the street, but she was sitting in the sedan chair as if she was walking on flat ground, without noticing anything.
After the novelty wore off, she still had to quickly deal with the real purpose of this trip.
