My mother-in-law actually married the prince

After dinner, everyone curiously asked Lin Zhixin, "I heard from Senior Brother Wang Da that the medicine you used is amazing and the effect is surprisingly good.

"Lin Zhixin listened, nodded and said: "Well, this medicine is very precious and can't be bought outside.

"Then she started to talk nonsense: "This medicine is made from hundreds of medicinal herbs and hundreds of spring waters.

"When several fellow disciples heard this, they thought: No wonder the consultation fee is so expensive.

Lin Zhixin learned from these fellow apprentices that the master of this pharmacy, Li Yuheng, was an imperial physician who had retired and returned to his hometown.

Li Yuheng had a daughter in his old age. His daughter married in Daqing Town, which is far away from here. It takes a week to go back and forth.

The old couple had been gone for three or four days. They had gone to visit their daughter and heard that she was about to give birth.

Besides the master and his wife, there are six men and two women in this pharmacy. The eldest brother, Wang Da, is in his thirties and lives here with his wife, Zhang Biyun.

Second senior brother Zhu Ziyu, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and his wife Wang Taohua also live here.

These two sisters-in-law usually help with cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning in the pharmacy.

Wang Da has three children. One is Wang Fu, a ten-year-old boy who is very naughty all day long. The other is Wang Shuiling, an eight-year-old girl who is very pretty.

There was also Wang Xiaocai, seven years old and very well-behaved. Second Senior Brother had two children: a clever six-year-old girl named Zhu Yun, and a five-year-old named Zhu Yuan.

The third senior brother Gao Fa is only twenty years old and has not yet married. He is completely focused on his work in the pharmacy.

Fourth senior brother Liu Xiaoshun was sixteen years old, fifth senior brother Li Zixian was fifteen years old, and sixth junior brother Wei Tiancheng was thirteen years old.

The three younger brothers mainly worked in the pharmacy, grinding, cutting, and picking herbs, as well as running errands. The three older brothers, on the other hand, only examined simple illnesses.

These fellow disciples all lived in the back house at the entrance of the courtyard, one room each.

The children of the two families lived in the east and west wing rooms of the second courtyard. Wang Shuiling and Zhu Yun lived in the west wing room, while Wang Fu, Wang Xiaocai, and Zhu Yuan lived in the east wing room.

There are three rooms in the east wing of the second courtyard. One is for the master and his wife, which is decorated very warmly. The other is a study, which is full of books and treasures.

The other room is the guest room, where Lin Zhixin will stay tonight.

There are four rooms in the west wing, which are smaller than the east wing. One of the larger rooms is the kitchen and the other three are specially for patients coming from far away or with serious illnesses.

This pharmacy is like a big family. Everyone here supports each other and works together to pass on medical skills, cure diseases and save lives.

Lin Zhixin looked at the people at the table and asked curiously, "Why don't you see any children coming out to eat?

"Zhang Biyun answered while clearing the dishes:

"The children are eating in the kitchen." Lin Zhixin nodded thoughtfully and responded, "Is that so.

"The scene of the children eating in the kitchen emerged in her mind. Perhaps she was worried that the children would be too noisy while eating in the main hall, or perhaps she had other considerations.

Lin Zhixin thought to herself that life in this pharmacy was really well-regulated.

As she thought about it, she turned her gaze to the yard again, as if she could see the lively little figures in the kitchen through the wall.

Lin Zhixin frowned and thought for a while, then asked:

"Where do you take a bath tonight?" Wang Taohua quickly replied, "There's a big tub in the kitchen. If you want to take a bath, ask Wang Da to bring it up to your room."

"Lin Zhixin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Wang Da.

"Wang Taohua said enthusiastically: "Sister, I'll take you to get some hot water.

"Lin Zhixin thought to herself that she didn't bring any clothes, but it was too uncomfortable. She should take a shower first and go to the street to buy a change of clothes tomorrow. She secretly decided to do it.
