Chapter 42
Stone Town is a vague place name in the memory of the original owner.

Since Changxi traveled here, she has visited twice in a row. She has been observing this quaint town along the way. Summarized in one word, it is antique.

The surrounding buildings are a bit older than those in the TV series, and the restaurant hangs a flag at the door to attract customers, which also has the atmosphere of the times.

There are very few porters and pawns in South Street, and there are many shops and workshops. It seems that it is a place where rich people live.

Most of the passers-by on the street wore clothes made of fine cotton, and the women's hair was not wrapped with cloth scarves, but decent Zhuchai jewelry.

Chang Xi is a little girl, wearing new clothes.She only needs to comb her hair, wash her small face and hands, and she will look good without too much delicate attire.

On the other hand, her mother, Wen Furong, didn't have a decent piece of jewelry on her body, and she looked out of place when walking in South Street, making people know that she wasn't from the town at a glance.

There are always a few bad-mouthed women who glance at their women and point at them.

"Look, her daughter is so fair and beautiful, is she here to sell her?"

"The fact that Madam Zhixian wants to buy a maid to play with the lady has already spread to the villages outside the town?"

The words of these arguments reached Wen Furong's ears, and her face turned black.

The youngest daughter of the county magistrate, she didn't think there was any problem when she was born, but she was a fool when she was raised a little bit.

Miss Silly is in an abnormal mood, and beats people at every turn, even her parents.

The magistrate's wife felt distressed and was reluctant to send her to another village to raise her.Insist on staying by my side, and find a lot of maids to serve her and play with her.

These are what she heard from other workers while working in Manxianglou.

Wen Furong would not sell her precious daughter to the tiger and wolf den to be beaten and scolded by the silly lady.

Wen Furong originally held her daughter's hand tightly, but now she put her arms around her shoulders and covered one of her ears by the way.

"Xibao, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Mother, I didn't hear anything." Chang Xi put her little hand on the back of Mother's hand, her eyes comforted her a little, and she continued to move forward.

They quickened their pace and walked into Jishitang, and they were relieved.

Chang Xi went straight to the medicine counter in the lobby, and as usual, a group of drug boys were busy.

Jiang Nanxing didn't raise his eyebrows, he was seriously looking at the prescription of "Yiwei Decoction" in his hand.

"Three qian for sand ginseng, five qian for Ophiopogon japonicus, [-] qian for rock sugar, [-] qian for Xishengdi, [-] qian for fried fragrant jade bamboo!"

While declaring the name and weight of the medicine, there are other medicine boys on the side, flexibly climbing up and down, and using the fastest time to find the medicinal materials and weigh them accurately from the small drawers of the cabinets that are two full walls high.

First catch it with a piece of paper, and then subdivide it into small packages. In the blink of an eye, several doses of medicine for a patient are ready.

Jiang Nanxing raised his eyes slightly, and said routinely: "Next one, give me your prescription!"

"Hello, little brother! I'm here again!"

Because there are too many people waiting in line to get the medicine, she can understand the anxiety of the patients.

Chang Xi stood here for a while, seeing that Jiang Nanxing had just stopped before she seized the opportunity to speak.

The crisp girl's voice sounded familiar to Jiang Nanxing, and he recognized Chang Xi when he raised his eyes.

"It's you!" It was obvious that Jiang Nanxing's calm and handsome face was now glowing with soft brilliance.

Like the winter jasmine in February, it blooms in response.

Jiang Nanxing signaled the other juniors to keep busy, he exited the counter to chat, and first looked at the woman standing beside Chang Xi.

"This is your mother?"

"Little brother is really smart!" Chang Xi boasted sweetly.

Feeling Wen Furong's sizing up, Jiang Nanxing lowered his eyes shyly, and bowed his hands to say hello.

Wen Furong has always liked children, and she likes polite children the most. Her first impression of Jiang Nanxing is very good.

"Listen to my man, are you the grandson of Doctor Jiang?"

Jiang Nanxing just nodded with a smile. He lowered his eyes and began to check the medicinal materials in the basket, looking very attentively.

Chang Xi was confident, but Wen Furong next to her was holding her breath tightly.

Feeling uneasy, she hesitated and said, "My family, Xibao, makes it up on her own. If the medicinal materials are not suitable, you can directly ask for more money."

She heard that because the medicinal materials were concocted, his family only got ten taels at once. She was not sure if her daughter could concoct it correctly every time.

He was so cautious because he didn't want the young boy to be embarrassed, and he didn't want his daughter to be hit.

"Auntie has no problem with the medicinal materials, but the price of the medicinal materials cannot be as high as last time. The medicinal materials purchased by my family have arrived."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chang Xi: "Since there is only one kind of medicinal material this time, the quantity is relatively small, can I give you 2 taels of silver?"

Digging medicinal materials to sell was originally an expedient measure. Her family found the black stone, so it doesn't matter if you give more or less.

After the people and goods were settled, Jiang Nanxing asked curiously.

"Your name is Xibao, right?"

Chang Xi covered her mouth and secretly laughed: "No!"

Wen Furong saw that the real 2 taels of silver fell firmly in the palm of her hand, and she was in such a good mood that she forgot all the bad things before entering Jishitang.

At this moment she said with a good temper: "My daughter's name is Chang Xi, I like Xi very much."

"Changxi?" Jiang Nanxing's smile became brighter.

"A good name, just hearing the name will make people happy."

"Next time you sell medicinal materials, remember to come to me!"

"Enen!" Chang Xi and Wen Furong left happily.

Jiang Nanxing watched their figures disappear, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and met Grandpa's curious gaze.

The corners of Jiang Nanxing's raised mouth froze for a moment, and he quickly coughed twice, pretending nothing happened, and returned to the counter to continue taking medicine.

Unbeknownst to everyone, this scene fell into the eyes of Chang Wencai who followed behind.

"Okay! You actually came to the medical clinic to make a fortune behind our backs?

How do they know what medicinal materials are? "

Chang Wencai scratched his head in confusion. Before he could think of the reason, the figures of Chang Xi's mother and daughter had completely disappeared into the crowd.

It was only when Chang Wen came back to his senses that he realized that he had lost his footing.

Chang Xi's mother and daughter didn't go far, they went to the nearest Zhuji jewelry store, Wen Furong was still a little cramped when she was dragged in.

"Mother, look quickly, the emerald stone, do you like it?"

Chang Xi pointed to a pair of drop-shaped jadeite earrings. There was no extra decoration, and the water color of the jadeite was average, but it was simple jewelry that could best support Wen Furong's natural beauty.

"Little brother, can you take it out and try it on for my mother?"

Shopkeepers and shop assistants who do business on South Street can tell whether a customer has money or not just by his words and deeds.

Seeing that the adults were cramped and the children were in high spirits, he felt that this could not be a single talk.

The child has no money on him, so he will not buy it even if he tries it on.

He showed an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, it's not convenient to try on the jewelry in this store."

"Little girl, you don't know that the sweat on this jadeite will affect its color."

Chang Xi narrowed his eyes, what's the mess, he clearly looks down on them, thinking they have no money to buy?
"Oh~ that's fine!"

"How much do you say the earrings are?"
