Qin Ge said embarrassedly: "My father is afraid that I will run away from home, so he won't give me money."
"Pfft, your father is very smart. Running away from home also requires money." Xia Qianqian was very convinced.
"If I'm more obedient when I go back this time, I'll have some pocket money. I'll save it for you and support you when the time comes." Qin Ge was very sincere and touched... Doctor Tong.
Doctor Tong paused while writing the prescription, looked up at Qin Ge's face which was much more childish than Gu Changsheng's, and said to himself: Boy, it's not yet your turn to sponsor Miss Xia.
Xia Qianqian was touched and said earnestly: "Qin Ge, it's good that you have thought it through. Running away from home is childish and not suitable for you. But... your parents earn money for you to spend, not for you to give away. You should save it and marry a wife in the future!"
"You!" Qin Ge's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "You don't know how to appreciate kindness!"
Doctor Tong smiled and handed the prescription to Xia Qianqian.
"How much?"
"One ounce of silver."
"good."
Xia Qianqian paid the bill, took the medicine and left.
It’s too far to go to the capital, so let’s go back to Yangliu Village first!
"Miss Xia, my jade..." Qin Ge reminded again.
Xia Qianqian said: "I definitely can't go to Gu's house today, how about I get it and send it to you another day?"
"That won't work. I can't go home until I get the jade back." Qin Ge touched his empty purse, "Besides, I only have a few coins left."
"One or two?" Xia Yunyun interrupted in a baby voice.
Qin Ge shook his head awkwardly.
Xia Qianqian was extremely sympathetic: "Then it's really hard for you."
"Miss Xia, I'm going to the Gu Mansion to take the third young master's pulse. I can take you with me." Doctor Tong came to them with a medicine box on his back at some point.
Qin Ge was very happy: "That's great, Xia Qianqian, quickly follow Doctor Tong in and get my jade."
Xia Qianqian: “…”
"Miss Xia, let's go!" Doctor Tong said with a smile.
Xia Qianqian had no other choice but to say, "Okay, but I can't do it this way. I need to change my clothes."
Xia Qianqian's gaze fell on Qin Ge.
Qin Ge asked warily: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Take off your clothes."
"Ah!" Qin Ge shuddered, "What are you going to do?"
"You've robbed a man and are going to the Gu residence. Are you going to take off your clothes? If not, forget it and go back to Yangliu Village." Xia Qianqian said unhappily.
Qin Ge: "... I'll take it off."
After a while, Xia Qianqian put on Qin Ge's brocade robe, tied up her hair, and pretended to be a man to follow Doctor Tong into Gu's house. Qin Ge was forced to wear her green cloak, sit in the drafty teahouse and wait, and had to use his remaining change to treat Qin and Xia Yunyun to tea.
Doctor Tong was an old acquaintance of the Gu Mansion. He greeted the doorman in a familiar manner: "I'm here to deliver medicine to the Third Young Master."
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Tong, but why did you bring a little follower with you today?" Outside the concierge.
Xia Qianqian lowered her head, not daring to speak. It was her first time dressing up as a man, and she was so excited. Would she be recognized? No way
"I'm a new apprentice in the pharmacy, and I'm learning medicine from you," said Doctor Tong.
The concierge let me in in a second. Xia Qianqian complained to Doctor Tong in a low voice: "The concierge of the Gu family is really careless. He let me in like this. What if someone comes to kill me?"
"Little girl, you think a lot. Do you want to come in? Or do you not want to come in?" Doctor Tong asked with a smile.
"Of course I want to go in." Xia Qianqian replied. It was her first time entering the interior of an ancient wealthy family, and she wanted to observe carefully.
Doctor Tong smiled and said, "I'll take you to a secluded path so you can enjoy the view."
"Thank you." Xia Qianqian had exactly this in mind, mainly because her acting skills were not good and she was afraid of meeting Mrs. Gu.
