Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!
Chapter 30: Master Hou
"The household registration is six hundred coins, and the indenture is four hundred coins."
When the village head heard what Wang Zhubu said, he was startled at first and then asked suspiciously: "Why did Wang Zhubu's salary increase? It turns out that..."
The man called Wang Zhubu glanced at him impatiently: "You've already said it, pay for the work, don't make trouble if you don't have money."
Qu Jingyao looked at the man who glanced at them with disdain, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
She pulled the sleeve of the village head and looked into Baiguo's eyes. Baiguo soon understood, smiled, stepped forward, took out the silver and handed it to her.
"Thank you for your help, sir."
Wang Zhubu looked at the three taels of silver on the table, glanced at it, slid the silver into the secret compartment, and began to ask Xu Lizheng some questions.
After hearing them talking fluently, I stopped making things difficult for them.
Soon the household registration and the indenture were handed over to Xu Lizheng, and Qu Jingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them walked out to the Chuihua Gate and happened to meet the master. He was tall and thin, with a pair of narrow eyes that flashed with cunning coldness. He stared at Qu Jingyao like a poisonous snake, with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his lips.
It made people feel disgusted when they saw it. Bai Guo also saw that this person had bad intentions and quickly stood in front of the young lady. Xu Lizheng stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master Hou."
Hou Li ignored him and walked past him towards Qu Jingyao behind him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the hand rubbing his chin reached out to Qu Jingyao's cheek.
"You are the girl from the Qu family. You are indeed a beauty. No wonder my brother-in-law misses me every day."
Bai Guo slapped his hand away and said, "Please respect yourself, sir." As he spoke, a sharp light in his eyes shot towards him.
He is so bold that he even wants to get involved with his master's woman. He is so tired of living.
Hou Li was suddenly stunned when he felt the murderous aura and cold eyes of Bai Guo. He withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"Master Hou, you are busy, so we won't bother you. Yao girl, let's go."
The village head uncle took the two of them and walked quickly out of the yamen.
Hou Li's face suddenly darkened behind him, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he turned and left with a sneer.
After leaving the yamen, the headman called out to Qu Jingyao and the other person to get in the car first and leave here first. Qu Qingchen looked at their faces and asked hurriedly if it was not going well?
"It's okay bro, it's all done, let's go."
As they were talking, several people got on the ox cart and slowly drove towards the market.
"Brother, I want to go to the pharmacy. Just leave me in front. Aren't you going to sell those wild rabbits and pheasants?" Qu Jingyao said, pointing to the pharmacy not far away.
Baiguo looked at the Jishi Pharmacy in front of her and raised the corners of her lips. She said with a smile that she would accompany the young lady and told them not to worry.
Qu Jingyao nodded and smiled at Qu Qingchen.
The village head was a little worried after what happened to the lawyer just now, so he suggested that he go with Qingchen and let Qingchen sell the wild animals by himself, since he was familiar with the matter anyway.
"Don't worry, Uncle Lizheng. It's okay. We're in town today, so you should go to the grain store and take a look. It's best to prepare some food for your trip. No matter how much money it costs, you should buy some. Trust me."
Xu Lizheng looked at Qu Jingyao's serious expression, and his doubts grew even stronger. At this moment, even Qu Qingchen and Bai Guo beside him nodded.
"Uncle Lizheng will tell you later when he gets home. You go first. If you don't have enough money..."
"Uncle has it with him, he has it with him."
After saying that, Qu Jingyao and Bai Guo jumped off the carriage, waved to Qu Qingchen, and turned to run towards the pharmacy.
Qu Qingchen behind her worriedly called out to her to slow down.
The master and servant arrived at the pharmacy. There were quite a few people seeking medical advice inside. The pharmacist was slightly startled when he saw Qu Jingyao walk in. This girl was truly stunningly beautiful. He smiled and asked, "Miss, are you seeing a doctor or getting medicine?"
Qu Jingyao looked at the medicine cabinet behind him, smiled and said she wanted to buy some medicinal herb seeds, regardless of kind.
The herbalist was stunned after hearing her words, and asked again to confirm: "Miss, are you sure you want medicinal herb seeds?"
Qu Jingyao nodded slightly, tilted her head and asked back, "Is there no seed?"
The medicine boy shook his hands and explained, "That's not the case. It's just that most people don't know how to grow these medicinal seeds and they won't bear fruit. Besides, the seeds are not cheap."
After hearing his words, Qu Jingyao smiled slightly and let him go get it. As for whether it could be grown, that was her business.
Seeing that the girl was very persistent, the medicine boy shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the back hall. A moment later, he came back with a few cloth bags, and there was a white-bearded old man beside him.
"Little girl, do you want to buy medicinal herb seeds? I wonder if you know how to plant them?" The old man stroked his beard and looked at Qu Jingyao. The girl looked young, with delicate features, a cherry nose and white lips. She was a rare beauty.
Qu Jingyao smiled slightly and nodded, and asked the old man playfully, "Are all people who buy seeds in your shop required to know how to plant them?"
The old man stroked his beard and laughed out loud: "That's not necessarily the case. I'm just reminding you, young lady, that this medicinal herb is different from crops and is not easy to grow."
She nodded slightly to indicate that she understood all of this. If it were that easy to keep alive, medicinal herbs wouldn't be so expensive and so scarce.
The old man nodded with a smile and asked her what kind of seeds she wanted.
Qu Jingyao thought for a moment, then pointed at the bags on the cabinet and said:
"Then give me some of each. Who knows which one will grow well?"
The old man smiled and nodded, and told the medicine boy to pack some of each.
Qu Jingyao asked about the price, and the old man fiddled with his abacus: "It's exactly fifty-five taels and six cents. I'll erase the six cents. If you succeed in the future, I hope you can bring it to me for a look."
She generously agreed to the old man's request, and called Baiguo beside her to pay the silver money when she was about to leave.
The old man said to her in a deep voice, "I am the owner of this medicine shop, but people like to call me Doctor Qi. I hope to see you again in the future."
Qu Jingyao didn't care too much about the old man's attitude. She smiled and nodded slightly, then called Baiguo and left.
The old man told the medicine boy to guard the front while he quickly walked towards the backyard.
He came to a room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
"Master, the person has left."
There was a moment of silence inside, and then a strong, deep male voice said "hmm" and then asked, "Is Sixteen with her?"
"Yes, Master."
"Well, you go down first."
"Yes!" The old man bowed respectfully and retreated to the second floor.
Qu Jingyao left the medicine shop and looked towards the embroidery workshop in the distance. She asked Bai Guo to go to the embroidery workshop and wait for her.
Baiguo didn't understand why, but she was also afraid that her master might be in danger, so she asked hesitantly if there was anything she could do to accompany her.
"No, I'm going to the grain store. You go to the embroidery workshop first to pick out two suitable dresses and shoes. I'll come find you soon."
Without waiting for Baiguo to refuse, the Qujing Yao people had already run towards the grain shop.
There were quite a few people in the grain shop at this time, but there were still many complaining people in front of the door, sighing with empty pockets in their hands.
