Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

It took Li Xiaonuan a long time to recover from her surprise. She had sensed the pressure Prince Jing released earlier, but having never grown up in an imperial empire, she only felt his imposing aura. No wonder she was a little clumsy when she went outside.

Anyone who can cooperate with Wei Yu must be someone of great importance. Doctor Qi previously mentioned that this surgical technique was brought by the founding emperor. Therefore, his successor should ideally be a member of the royal family. It's not hard to imagine that this Doctor Jing is a member of the royal family.

Having figured it out, Li Xiaonuan said seriously, "Dr. Jing, please tell me what you need first, and I'll see if I can do it." Since the other party had not revealed his identity, Li Xiaonuan did not try to test him.

Prince Jing was initially surprised to see Li Xiaonuan, then somewhat puzzled, and finally seemed to understand. Judging from her tone, she didn't seem to care about his background or origins. That was fine; someone who knew how to adapt was easier to work with.

After thinking for a moment, Prince Jing reverted to his previous childlike demeanor and cut to the chase: "I require you to clearly mark the place names of each country on the globe, along with their customs and traditions. Ideally, you should also write down the taboos of each country. Furthermore, you must also write down what each country is famous for."

Li Xiaonuan was surprised again; she simply couldn't do any of this. Not only was she not a history major, but some of these countries didn't even exist in this era. And who knew if the customs, traditions, and taboos she knew would be the same as in her previous life?

Having no other choice, she had to refuse, saying, "Dr. Jing, I can't do that. I've never even heard of many of those countries. Besides, I need to investigate their customs and traditions in person to find out. You're just making things difficult for me."

Prince Jing didn't take it seriously and asked again, "Then what do you know? Just mark it all down." He hadn't really expected Li Xiaonuan to know any of that; he was just testing her.

Li Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Doctor Jing might actually ask her to specify those details. Since the doctor had conceded, Li Xiaonuan couldn't hide anything, so she highlighted a few important coastal countries.

Prince Jing straightened his posture and listened attentively. He would ask questions when he encountered anything he didn't understand or that particularly interested him. Finally, after an hour, Prince Jing stopped Li Xiaonuan. He said to her:

"Go back and write down everything you know about those countries. Of course, include pictures. Only with both text and pictures can people gain a deeper understanding."

Li Xiaonuan had a headache. After all, even writing traditional Chinese characters required her to spend ages consulting various books before she could actually write them. Besides, she had a plan. Leaving aside building a house, her family needed to buy land. Having land was essential for a farmer's survival. Her goal was to build a large estate.

Seeing Prince Jing's expression, Li Xiaonuan tentatively asked, "Doctor Jing, I don't know many characters. If I were to write them all down, it would take me more than half a year. Or, could I just write down a few that I'll encounter easily?"

Prince Jing slammed his hand on the table and said sternly to Li Xiaonuan, "If you can't read, why don't you learn? I'll have Ji find you a dictionary later. No, this needs to be done quickly. You'd better go to Wei Yu's place. You dictate, and he'll write it down. As for the illustrations, you have to draw them within two months, even if you don't eat or sleep."

Li Xiaonuan was startled at first, but after hearing Prince Jing's words, she became completely dejected. She still had many things to do. If she went to Wei Yu's place all the time, she might run into his sister-in-law, and who knows, she might disappear into the inner courtyard of the Wei residence one day.

However, thinking of her seriously ill second uncle, Li Xiaonuan asked again, "Dr. Jing, you haven't seen my second uncle yet. If you can't cure her, then I've promised you for nothing."

Prince Jing was displeased again, pointing at Li Xiaonuan and scolding her: "How can you be so ungrateful? Listen, even if I can't cure your second uncle, you still have to write all of that down for me. At worst, I'll use something else instead."

Li Xiaonuan shrank her neck and secretly stuck out her tongue. After Prince Jing finished speaking and took a sip of tea, she dared to speak: "Then please take a look at my second uncle first. Do your best to cure him. I agree to your request."

Prince Jing rested his chin on one hand and squinted, saying, "Hmm, bring the person over, I want to check on the patient's condition."

"This is... a yes!" Li Xiaonuan was overjoyed and quickly stood up, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Doctor Jing. I'll go and bring my second uncle over right away. Please wait here."

Because Li Xiaonuan's tone was too excited, Prince Jing was so startled that his jaw slipped off his hand. He glared at Li Xiaonuan angrily and said, "What are you so excited about, girl? You've scared this old man. Hurry up and go, hurry up and go, so you won't get in my way."

Li Xiaonuan burst into tears; this man in his early thirties was far too old. Silently suppressing her disdain, Li Xiaonuan turned and ran out. After asking several apprentices, she finally found Xiao Gang in the medicine-picking area of ​​the clinic.

He was told to go back and tell Madam Su about the situation to put her mind at ease. He was also asked to bring Li Xiaoyang a change of clothes so he could wash up. Li Xiaogang agreed and went to ask his master for leave.

Li Xiaonuan left the clinic, intending to rent a carriage to Guxing Village. Although she had no sense of direction, she was sure the driver knew where Guxing Village was. She had just asked the clinic owner where she could rent a carriage. Therefore, she headed there as soon as she left the clinic.

He silently told himself: "Turn left when you go out, then turn right at the second intersection. Keep going until you reach the end, then turn right again. There are many shops there, and the third one is the most trustworthy."

Wait, I think I've missed the second intersection. Li Xiaonuan quickly braked, turned around, and jogged across the intersection. Unexpectedly, someone else was running out of that intersection as well. The two of them unfortunately collided and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the person cushioned Li Xiaonuan's fall, so she wasn't hurt too badly.

Just as she was about to get up, the person beneath her cried out, "Ouch! You almost killed me! How can you be so heavy, you lowly commoner? Get up right now!"

Li Xiaonuan scrambled to her feet, and when she saw the person beneath her, her face darkened. This person was clearly a woman disguised as a man, but her very first words gave her away. Who knew which silly young lady she was, lacking even basic knowledge of disguise?

She reached out and pulled the man up from the ground, about to ask if he was hurt. Suddenly, the man swung his hand at Li Xiaonuan's face. Fortunately, Li Xiaonuan reacted quickly and dodged the slap.

Grabbing the man's wrist, Li Xiaonuan asked angrily, "How can you be so awful? We bumped into each other, don't you think you were at fault?"

Seeing that Li Xiaonuan had actually dodged his slap and even grabbed her wrist, the man became even angrier. He pointed at Li Xiaonuan with his other finger and cursed, "You bitch, let go of me right now. In broad daylight, you dare to openly hold a man's hand. It's clear you're no good."

The two were in a busy downtown area, and a crowd of onlookers had gathered after they collapsed. Those people hadn't heard the first person's words clearly. So, after hearing what he said and seeing the two women's attire, they all pointed and whispered among themselves, discussing the situation.

Li Xiaonuan wasn't annoyed. She still held the man's wrist tightly and said with a smile, "Miss, next time you wear men's clothes, please tie your chest up tightly first. Also, don't wear perfume, lest people think you're a male prostitute. Oh, and you'd better avoid using the phrase 'this young lady' when you speak."
