章 45: Being Followed

After leaving Chang Shou Pharmacy, Duan Yixin walked to the market carrying an empty bamboo basket on her back. Along the way, she visited several stores and bought daily necessities such as clothes, condiments, vegetables, meat, and grain. 

Watching her negotiations with the shopkeepers from those stores, Jian Yi couldn't help but wonder how an ordinary young woman like her could have such high negotiation skills and be so good at guessing other people's thoughts. As Jian Yi becomes more and more interested in her, Duan Yixin wins another negotiation. 

She smiled at the store owner and paid the money. Putting the vegetables into the bamboo basket, Duan Yixin asked, "Madam, do you know where I can buy seeds?"

The store owner was delighted to be called Madam by her and said, "Young Lady, it's too late to start sowing now. If you want to start planting, you will need to wait until next spring."
