Chapter 22: Miss Chu, Where Do You Live?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Geraniums." Bai Qifan replied. Rong Yue, who was lying down, just happened to wake up. He went forward to hold her hand and explained softly, "I did bring those flowers back from abroad."
"You're not very interested in flowers and plants, but Mother likes them, so I gave them all to her. I thought that Mother gave them to you."
Rong Yue smiled weakly, her face full of happiness, "I believe you."
Chu Yunyao did not want to get involved in the Bai family's affairs, "No wonder. Geraniums are very irritating to pregnant women. They shouldn't be placed in the bedroom. It's better to put them outside as soon as possible."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Bai Qifan and Doctor Zhang intervened simultaneously to stop Chu Yunyao as she turned around and attempted to leave.
"Please wait." Bai Qifan quickly caught up with her, "Although money is not enough to express my gratitude to you, the consultation fee is indispensable. Name a price."
Chu Yunyao turned around and thought about Mo Lingyuan did not give her a single cent as a betrothal gift and her scumbag father did not give her a single cent as a dowry. At this moment, she was penniless.
Thinking that the Chu and Mo families were not places where she could stay for a long time, it was better to save some money for the future.
Chu Yunyao thought about it momentarily before extending two fingers to Bai Qifan.
Bai Qifan left the room and whispered a few words to Rong Xiu. Rong Xiu glanced at the thin figure and immediately left.
Doctor Zhang had been obsessed with medicine all his life. He held the golden needle and asked earnestly, "I'm too old. I hope you don't mind. Your medical skills are far superior to mine. Can you accept me as your disciple and teach me the skills of acupuncture with golden needles?"
Chu Yunyao was shocked. Seeing Doctor Zhang's ashen face, she waved her hand repeatedly, "I can't accept it, I can't accept it. I can teach you the skills of acupuncture with golden needles. You don't have to acknowledge me as your master."
Doctor Zhang was skeptical, thinking that Chu Yunyao was lying, so he said, "Can you remove the handkerchief on your face so that I can recognize you? In the future, it will be easier for me to treat you with courtesy."
Only then did Chu Yunyao remember why she came out today. She raised her hand to touch the handkerchief on her face and replied, "Sir, I recently arrived in Jin City, and I'm still adjusting to the new environment. My face is covered in pus and can't be exposed to others. I came to your shop to get some medicine."
As she spoke, she picked up a pen and paper, wrote down the prescriptions, and handed them to Doctor Zhang, "These are the herbs I want. I don't have any money now, so I'll draw a picture of acupuncture points with golden needles as payment for the medicine."
Doctor Zhang was overjoyed. He ordered a boy to get the medicine, and he brought a stool to sit beside Chu Yunyao. He watched her draw while listening to her explanation.
When Chu Yunyao finished drawing and handed the album to Doctor Zhang, Rong Xiu had already returned with a small wooden box with a lock.
Bai Qifan took the small wooden box from Rong Xiu's hands, weighed it, and handed it to Chu Yunyao, "This is the consultation fee for you. May I know your name?"
Chu Yunyao took the mahogany box, and her big, pitch-black eyes smiled like crescent moons, "My name is Chu Yunyao, Master Bai. We'll meet often in the future. It's getting late. I have to go back."
Chu Yunyao held the medicine bag in one hand and the treasure she had earned in the other as she walked out happily.
Rong Xiu's forehead was still wrapped in gauze. He stood at the door and rubbed his hands nervously. His face was slightly embarrassed, "Miss Chu, please forgive me for my offense. Don't take it to heart."
"I prepared a carriage to send you back. Take it as my apology."
Without Nanny Rong watching her, Chu Yunyao was more than happy to do so. She lightly jumped up and sat in the carriage.
Rong Xiu shook the reins, and the carriage started moving. He turned to ask the person sitting in the carriage, "Miss Chu, where do you live?"
"Young Marshal's Mansion." Chu Yunyao answered casually. She opened the mahogany box impatiently, and she was happy.
