When Jingxue learned that An'an had obtained Zhang Daming's address, she replied, "Great! I'll go visit him tomorrow!"
I have to go to the palace tomorrow afternoon, so it looks like I'll be quite busy tomorrow morning!
Jingxue hadn't expected the dolls to be so captivating; even the girls were distracted during their after-dinner exercise.
An An also loves Winnie the Pooh and pandas.
Only Wen's mother said worriedly, "Poor people can't even afford to eat, how could they buy these things!"
Jingxue understood what she meant: "Poor people only have some basic needs, while most of the items in our shop are for rich people! We're just making money from the rich. We're just trying it out. If it doesn't sell, we'll give it to the three kids to play with! Don't worry!"
The next morning, Jingxue saw a large pile of dolls in the maids' room. "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early and stop doing these things?"
Liu Sanhao said, "I don't know why, but I feel a great sense of accomplishment every time I make one!"
Jingxue: What you said is very insightful!
Aside from the succulent plant dolls to be sent to the beauty salon, I took one of everything else, and gave the rest to my daughters and three children!
The coachman was different today; it seemed to be the same man from Old Guo's courtyard yesterday. The coachman said Old Guo had taken leave to take care of his wife.
Jingxue brought Wenma along, and had her go to the fabric shop to instruct her on how to make dolls.
Upon seeing the novel dolls, the shopkeeper Wang said, "Miss, I think these will sell well! We also have some women who come to our shop to buy silk thread, fabric, embroidered handkerchiefs, purses, and the like. They'll bring their finished embroidery to sell!"
"Manager Wang, try to make this doll in our shop, otherwise it will be copied very quickly! Also, don't make a large quantity, limit the production, that way we can sell it for a good price!"
"Don't sell these today, use them as samples. Anyone who wants to buy can pay a deposit, and then we'll make them. I brought Wen Ma with me, so you can find a reliable woman to learn from. Here are the blueprints; I'll give you new ones when I have time!"
"Yes, yes, Miss is right!"
"Manager Wang, please send someone to deliver these six succulent dolls to Manager Peng at the beauty salon. I have other matters to attend to. Once you're done, Aunt Wen, please hire a carriage to take them back to the Wang Mansion!"
Manager Wang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Miss! This servant will definitely take care of it!"
After leaving the cloth shop, Jingxue immediately headed towards South Street.
The majority of residents on South Street are ordinary people, and you can tell from their clothing, roads, and houses that their lives are very difficult.
The street vendors sell everyday items like needles, thread, cabbages, and radishes.
Jingxue asked passersby for directions to Luoguo Alley, and then brought Runyue to Zhang Daming's house.
Jingxue let Runyue get out of the carriage, while she took out ten catties of rice and ten catties of flour from her spatial storage. This food was undoubtedly a godsend for the impoverished family, helping them get through a difficult period.
Pushing open the wooden gate, I entered the courtyard. In front of me were two rooms. While other houses had tiled roofs, Zhang Daming's house had blackened straw roofs. Luckily, it hadn't rained, or they would have rotted.
There was a very low storage room; I don't know if it was a kitchen or a woodshed!
The yard was quite clean, with a rope strung up and several patched clothes hanging there, still dripping wet!
"Is this Zhang Daming's house?" Jingxue asked loudly.
The old wooden door creaked open a crack, and a little girl peeked out. "Who are you? My brother went to the academy!"
"Oh! I'm Zhang Daming's older sister, I've come to see you!"
Judging from the sight of the two girls, the little girl pushed open the door and said, "Please come in! My mother isn't home, it's just me and my grandma!"
Jingxue and Runyue entered the house. The house was a bit dark. There was an old woman with gray hair sitting on a low stool washing clothes. There was a bed in the corner, and next to it was a dilapidated table and a few stools.
"Ying, who has come?" the old woman asked.
“Grandma, it’s my brother’s classmate’s older sister. She said she’s coming to see us!” the girl named Ying’er replied.
"Oh! Then please invite them to sit down!" The old lady dried her hands with her apron.
Jingxue noticed that although the two people's clothes were old and even patched, they were very clean!
Jingxue put down her things, and the young girl helped the old lady sit on the bed. Jingxue took the old lady's hand and, while feeling her pulse, said, "Grandma Zhang, your grandson is very well-behaved and studies very hard. He is my brother's classmate. I just happened to be passing by today and came to see you. How old are you this year?"
The old woman couldn't open one eye, and the other eye was empty and lifeless. She groped for Jingxue's hand!
"Sigh! I'm 51 years old now, and I'm just a burden to my children. Daming and Ying'er are both very sensible! My wife has had a hard life too!"
Jingxue thought, "He's only 51 years old. In modern times, that's just the age to retire and start a wonderful life!"
"Grandma Zhang, I'm a doctor, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Can I take a look at your eyes?"
"Sigh! It's no use trying to cure it! Besides, we don't have any money. I'm already so old, I'm not going to see a doctor anymore!" The old lady's expression was complicated.
"It's free, don't worry!"
"Really? That girl is such a good person. If I could see this, I could help my family and my wife!"
Jingxue turned to Runyue and said, "Yueyue, could you take your little sister to play in the yard for a while? I need to check Grandma's eyes!"
Just now, Runyue had forced a ginseng fruit into Ying'er's hand, and now she took out a handful of blueberries. "Ying'er, come on, let's go play in the yard for a while. I'll give you some blueberries; they're good for your eyes!"
Holding the ginseng fruit in her hand, Zhang Ying'er was already very uneasy. "I...I don't want it!"
Grandma Zhang spoke up, "Ying'er, go play in the yard for a while! Just don't leave the yard!"
Ying'er then went out with Runyue.
"Grandma Zhang, I need to let you sleep for a while so I can check your eyes. Are you scared?"
The old woman sighed, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just a blind old woman, what can you gain by harming me? I'm just worried about my little granddaughter. I can tell from your voice that you're a good person! I trust you!"
"Thank you, Grandma Zhang. You can rest for a while, and I'll take a look at your eyes!"
Jingxue took out the sleeping potion and placed it under the old lady's nose!
The old lady soon fell asleep and led people into the space. After examination, it was found that the old lady had glaucoma, but no other diseases, except for malnutrition.
After taking the person out of the space, Jingxue took out a silver needle and gently pricked the old man.
The old man woke up. "Young lady, now that you've seen it, can my eyes still be cured?"
Jingxue helped the old woman sit up. "Grandma Zhang, your eyes can be cured. Here's what we'll do: when your daughter-in-law comes back, you two can discuss it. My family has a few shops, and she can come and work there. I can also help you cure your eyes!"
"Really? Young lady, you are truly a blessing to our family! My wife has suffered so much!" Tears welled up in the old lady's lifeless eyes.
