The next morning, Mu Xin Nuan came out of the school and took Mu Qing and Mu Hua directly to Anping Hall, the closest house to the Mu residence.

Since it was her first time here, Mu Xin Nuan specially wore a large hooded cloak. Although she didn't wear a veil, the large brim of the hood almost completely covered her small face.

Mu Qing took the sign and showed it to the shopkeeper, who immediately came out to greet her, "Are you Miss Mu?"

"Indeed, I wonder if your master has given any instructions?"

"Yes, Miss Mu. Please follow me."

Mu Xin Nuan gave Mu Qing a wink, and Mu Qing quickly stepped in front of her, smiling brightly, and said, "Thank you for your help, shopkeeper. Please lead the way."

Mu Qing followed closely behind the shopkeeper, while Mu Hua followed behind Mu Xin Nuan, his eyes darting around, looking everything in sight.

The group passed through the back hall, then through a covered corridor, and through a side door into a small courtyard. The courtyard contained five main rooms, with two side rooms on each side. A large screen wall stood in front, and from a distance, a hanging flower gate could be barely seen in front of it. If all went as expected, the courtyard was divided into front and back courtyards.

After glancing at it lightly, Mu Xin Nuan was quite shocked!

How could the owner of a mere clinic and pharmacy be so wealthy?

Putting aside the size of the courtyard, just look at the carved beams and painted rafters along the corridors – they are clearly the work of an ordinary person! And look at all the corridors under which various kinds of plants are planted, and the red plum tree not far away is now in full bloom!

The backyard, though small, was spotless and tidy, clearly meticulously maintained. The carvings on the doors and windows of the main house were also exceptionally skillful, undoubtedly not the work of an ordinary craftsman!

The closer Mu Xin Nuan got to the main house, the greater her doubts became!

These doors and windows were even more intricately carved than those in the main house of her own courtyard! What an incredibly wealthy family this must be! But what Mu Xin Nuan didn't expect was that once she entered the main house, everything before her eyes would be even more astonishing!

Upon entering the main house, it was filled with rows and rows of medicinal herbs!

The shopkeeper introduced himself, "My surname is He. I am honored that you have called me Uncle He. If Miss Mu ever needs anything from me, just pull this rope."

Mu Xin Nuan then noticed that there was another door on the north wall of the main house. At the front and back of the door, there was a lantern-like thing made of rope. The tassels at the bottom were actually alive. When she reached out and pulled, she saw a thin rope hanging from the corner of the wall and stretched all the way over. She just didn't know where it led.

"Thank you very much, Uncle He."

Uncle He smiled and nodded, "This way, Miss, please."

Mu Xin Nuan was somewhat surprised. Could it be that there was some other secret here?

Mu Xin Nuan followed Uncle He through the back door, and behind them was a vast medicinal herb field! This time, not only was Mu Xin Nuan somewhat surprised, but Mu Qing and Mu Hua, who were with her, were also quite taken aback!

What kind of place is the capital? It's a place where every inch of land is incredibly valuable. Countless people want to buy houses and own property here, but they just don't have the money! Even if they did have the money, not just anyone can build a house in the capital.

Anping Hall is located on the most bustling street in the capital, making it far more valuable than ordinary places! But unexpectedly, their master actually allowed them to cultivate a medicinal herb field here? It's like setting up a huge stage for a one-person show, wasting the land!

Mu Xin Nuan followed Uncle He and carefully inspected several medicinal herb fields. They were all relatively common herbs that were suitable for cultivation in the capital.

"Your master is really strange. Such a good place has been used to cultivate medicinal herbs. He is indeed extraordinary!"

Uncle He laughed and said, "What Miss said is true. Our master's temperament is indeed a bit strange. In his villa outside the city, the master has planted a large area of ​​medicinal herbs. To be honest, the master can only recognize seven or eight kinds of medicinal herbs at most, but he prefers to plant these."

"Your master doesn't know anything about medicine?" Mu Xin Nuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Miss, our master doesn’t understand this. However, our master used to have a master who was an expert in this field. It’s just that he’s not in the capital right now. Otherwise, our master would definitely have summoned him here to have a proper talk with you.”

Mu Xin Nuan nodded without saying anything more. After walking a few more steps, she saw another small courtyard. It seemed that the main house in that courtyard was only three or four rooms in size.

Uncle He pointed to the courtyard and said, "That's a courtyard specially prepared for Miss to rest in. If Miss is tired, she can rest there. Don't worry, Miss, all the furnishings inside have been replaced with new ones."

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle He."

"I wouldn't dare. These are all the master's orders. In that case, please take your time to look around. The medicines in the pharmacy ahead are all commonly used. If you need any special or more precious medicinal materials, you just need to give the order."

"Thank you."

"The medicine room is in the east side room of that pharmacy. If you want to make medicine, you don't need to leave this courtyard. In addition, as instructed by the master, two young medicine boys have been specially assigned to you. They are both adopted by our Anping Hall. They are quite familiar with the medicinal materials, if not completely, and can help lighten the burden for you, Miss."

Mu Xin Nuan truly didn't know what to say at this moment! Wasn't that silver-masked young master's thinking a bit too thorough? Just for a few bottles of medicine she had made? Was it really worth it?

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, no longer thinking about it, and went back to the pharmacy. There she saw two young apprentices waiting there, wearing white aprons and white sleeves. They stood respectfully, and two sets of aprons and sleeves were already prepared on a table to the side.

"Reporting to Miss, I originally thought you had brought a maid with you, so I only prepared two sets. I will have someone send another set over later."

Mu Xin Nuan nodded without saying anything more. She took off her outer robe and let Mu Hua take it. Then, following their example, she put it on as well.

Since there was one set missing, the other set was naturally given to Mu Qing to wear so she could help the young lady get medicine and run errands.

Mu Xin Nuan truly fell in love with the principles of medicine, and to be more precise, she was even more fond of the art of poisons!

More than an hour passed in the pharmacy. It wasn't until Mu Hua reminded her that it was time for lunch that she started to feel hungry.
