Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 30: Family (1)
Mo Xiang lowered her head, and took out a bamboo mat from the sliding door under the car seat.It was too hot, and there was no ice basin on the carriage. If the bamboo mat was placed on the carriage bench, it would become hot after a while, and there was no way to sit on it.

"Can you be in a hurry? I finally came to participate in the Xiyuan Poetry Fair, and I didn't gain anything at all."

Mo Yan rubbed her nose, Ye Wanxi put all her attention on Lin Miaoyue, invited the doctor, and notified the Shang Shufu that there was no time for the small banquet prepared after the poetry meeting, so she came in a hurry early in the morning. Not a single meal was mixed.

It doesn't matter if there is no harvest, Mo Yan looked at the bracelet on his wrist, touched his sleeve pocket, felt the trace of the jade pendant, and felt a little fulfilled in his heart.Perhaps the biggest surprise for her was being able to make friends with Chen Ying.

"Cuckoo..."

Mo Xiang's face was flushed, her eyes were downcast, and she rubbed her belly in embarrassment. Today, in order for her young lady to make her debut, she got up early, only ate half a steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge. Back off.

Seeing Mo Xiang's embarrassment, Mo Yan smiled and said, "You eat two dim sum pads first, and tell the old driver that we won't go back home. I heard that there are several famous bookstores on Zhuque West Street ,right?"

In Dai Viet, scholars are extremely noble and treated with courtesy, because the price of books is so high that ordinary people cannot afford it, so people with a little ink always feel superior to others.There are not too many bookstores in Kyoto, and many places specialize in selling second-hand books, which are cheap and can be accepted by more students.

"Miss, you are talking about the bookstores opposite the Imperial College, right?"

Mo Xiang poured a cup of herbal tea, put it in front of his young lady, and asked puzzled, "Are you going to find the young master?"

"I'm not looking for elder brother, but I want to go to the bookstore."

Mo Yan has already memorized all the medical books borrowed from her mother, Lu Shi, and now she needs to absorb new knowledge. In the ancient times when medicine was so backward, if she could have a skill, even if it was not for practicing medicine to save people, it would still be able to protect her family safety.

I heard that the bookstore opposite the Guozijian has a complete range of varieties, and there should be some basic medical books. She bought them and read them to lay a foundation for herself. In fact, if she can have a master, she can learn more with less effort, but these days, medical skills are all passed down from family. Unique knowledge, rarely taught to outsiders.

Mo Xiang told the coachman to turn the horse's head and pass through the center of Zhuque Street. After about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at Zhuque West Street. It looks very elegant.

"Let's go to this Taihe Bookstore, it looks quite big."

Mo Yan got out of the carriage, supported the hood, and dragged the servant girl Mo Xiang inside impatiently.There was a waiter at the door, and he was not surprised when he saw Mo Yan, presumably the bookstore usually also receives female customers.

"My guest, what do you need? Do you want to read a book, or buy a book? Our bookstore has a lot of new story books, including your favorite."

The clerk followed behind Mo Yan with an enthusiastic expression on his face. When he saw her face, he introduced the general situation of Taihe Bookstore.There are two floors here. The first floor is for more miscellaneous books, such as story books, poems, songs, etc. for leisure, and the second floor is specially tailored for scientific examinations.

The prices of new books in Taihe Bookstore are not cheap.Students with difficulties at home can choose to copy books, so that they only spend some pen, ink and money, but can really get benefits.However, copying also has disadvantages, such as time-consuming and labor-intensive, restless, and error-prone.

"Are there any books on herbs or medicine here?"

Just after noon, when the flow of people was the least, there were only a few scattered people in the shop who were picking out books. Mo Yan followed the clerk to the second floor. She didn't have much interest in talking about books, but she was a lover in her previous life and collected a bookshelf. Well, she casually flipped through two books, they were not as good as modern romance novels.

"There is a book on herbal medicine, so don't embarrass me with your medical skills."

The clerk scratched his head, medical skills are family heirlooms, how could there be books for sale in the shop, he couldn't bear Mo Yan's disappointment, and came up with an idea, "My guest, the rest of the bookstores on Zhuque West Street don't have you. I want medical books, but I have an idea."

"You said."

Mo Yan played a trick on Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang understood, cleverly grabbed ten copper coins from his purse, gritted his teeth, and stuffed them into the boy's palm.Ten copper coins is not a small amount, but when you are away from home, there are always people who exchange favors, and you must not save what should not be saved.

"Thank you for the reward from this guest."

The buddy got the reward, he smiled, his eyes were lost, and almost all the bookstores were pedantic scholars, bookworms with a straightforward personality, who never gave rewards, and always taught him to do his duty.The most famous nerd in the Guozijian, the young master Mo from Zuodu Yushifu, is really talented and eloquent. The last time he only received five copper coins as a reward, he was talked about for half an hour. His head has grown three times.

"My guest, if you want to buy medical books, you have to go to the north of the city."

Although the north of the city is a place for ordinary people, there is a market every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, selling everything. Many people's ancestors used to study medicine, but they couldn't live anymore, and they would carry the legacy of their ancestors. It all depends on luck if you sell your belongings.

"Then, thank you little brother."

Mo Yan nodded, and found the most complete book on herbal medicine. After paying the bill, it cost eight taels of silver. After losing Li Yue'e and Zhao Guihua, she only had a little spare money, and it was really painful to spend it like this. She was thinking about whether the pig teammate should continue to blackmail.

Leaving Taihe Bookstore, Mo Yan got into the carriage, originally wanted to proudly take Mo Xiang and the coachman to the restaurant for a meal, but after touching her pocket, she hesitated for a moment, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, she might as well go home , I met a time-honored delicatessen on the road, bought some braised pork and sauced duck that parents like to eat, shared some with the driver and Mo Xiang, and could add a dish to the dinner and save money. After crossing, she really became more and more The more you will live.

The carriage went round and round and returned to Yushifu.As soon as they arrived at the second gate, Mo Yan was helped out of the carriage by the maid Mo Xiang, and went straight to the main courtyard. It was time for dinner, and she wanted to talk to her mother Lu about today's poetry meeting.
