"Um."
Yun Xi nodded and responded softly.
"If there's nothing urgent, don't go."
Unexpectedly, Ji Jiuye did not agree immediately, which puzzled Yun Xi.
"What's wrong? My husband doesn't let me go. Is there something wrong?"
Ji Jiuye did not answer, but frowned and looked at her.
Although she was dressed plainly and simply, made of very cheap coarse cloth, and her hair was casually pulled up with a wooden hairpin, her facial features were extremely beautiful, and her poor appearance could not hide her beauty at all.
There are many idle gangsters in the town. When they have nothing to do, they like to tease women from good families.
With her beauty, if she goes out alone, she might be snatched away by bad guys, which is really dangerous.
This kind of blatant robbery of civilian girls is not unheard of in the town.
If Yun Xi knew what he was thinking, I wonder what kind of speechless expression he would have on his face before he robbed her
Anyone who feels tired of living a long life can just come.
Ji Jiuye didn't speak, and Yun Xi couldn't guess what he was thinking. She was extremely embarrassed holding the fan and handkerchief in her arms.
"However, I took on some embroidery work earlier. Now that the deadline is approaching, it's time to hand over the work to the embroidery workshop."
Although these things can't make much money, you have to be trustworthy. Since you have agreed with others and she has already finished the work, you have to send them to others.
More importantly, she also made a batch of styptic powder and antipyretic pills and wanted to sell them in the town.
"I remember that Aunt Chunhua in the village also works for the embroidery workshop in the town. Why don't you give Aunt Chunhua the embroidery and ask her to help take it away."
There is only one embroidery workshop in the town, so Ji Jiuye is not worried that Aunt Chunhua and Yun Xi are not working from the same embroidery workshop.
He made up his mind not to let Yun Xi go to town alone, for fear that she would not know about Aunt Chunhua, and he also told her the location of Aunt Chunhua's house in great detail.
After saying that, she still felt it was inappropriate and asked her to take Erbao, saying that Erbao knew the location of Aunt Chunhua's house.
As soon as Yun Xi walked from Ji's house to Aunt Chunhua's house, which took about a cup of tea, she immediately became energetic.
A cup of tea lasts for 10 minutes, and a round trip lasts for 20 minutes. Plus she casually chats with Aunt Chunhua, which makes it half an hour.
She couldn't just leave her things behind, could she
She could drive back and forth in the town in half an hour, and it was more than enough to sell medicine.
"Okay, I understand. I know where Aunt Chunhua lives. The sun is very bright outside, so why don't Erbao come with me? I can go by myself."
How could she secretly go to town when Erbao was following her
Ji Jiuye looked at her in disbelief, "Do you really know where Aunt Chunhua lives? Are you sure?"
"Well, I know..." Yun Xi nodded repeatedly with a very sincere expression.
She repeatedly assured that she knew that Ji Jiuye was not forced to let Erbao follow her. After all, as soon as she walked out of the door, Yun Xi completely let herself go.
With a little tip of the toe, the figure appeared several miles away like a startling shadow, and in an instant, he arrived in the town.
She first went to the embroidery workshop. When the steward of the embroidery workshop first met her, his attitude could only be regarded as ordinary. But when she took out the embroidery, the steward immediately became very enthusiastic, completely different from before.
The steward held her embroidery as if he had found a treasure. Although he tried his best to suppress it, his eyes could still reveal some appreciation and affection.
"Ms. Ji's craftsmanship has improved a lot. This batch of embroidery is so vivid, and the patterns and colors are very beautiful. Let's do this. I'll give you an extra two hundred yuan. Within ten days, you can give me another one. How about approving the embroidery?"
The steward has been working in the embroidery workshop for almost thirty years, and this is the first time I have seen the colors of fans and handkerchiefs embroidered so delicately and beautifully, and the stitches are also very neat. The cloth has been upgraded several levels.
Even people like her in the embroidery workshop couldn't help but want to buy it, let alone the other girls.
She was confident that even if the price of this batch of embroidery increased three to five times, she would still be able to sell it.
"Thank you, Manager Wang, for your kindness, but no, I don't plan to take on any more work from now on."
Yun Xi rejected Manager Wang without hesitation and returned the extra 200 wen given to her.
When he heard that she was not going to take over the job, Manager Wang immediately panicked.
"No, if you think two hundred cents is too little, the price is negotiable. Five hundred cents, no, one tael of silver. How about I add another one tael of silver to you? If you continue to accept work within three months, your future The price of embroidery can be appropriately raised based on the selling price, is that possible?"
To be fair, the conditions given by the steward were pretty good, but Yun Xi had other plans, so she was not prepared to change her opinion.
But she didn't say anything. After all, business cannot be done without mercy. She only said that there were a lot of things going on these days, and if she had time in the future, she would come to see Manager Wang.
When Manager Wang heard that she couldn't take on the embroidery work because she was busy, he was very sorry, but he didn't force her. He just said that when he was free in the future, he would definitely come to the embroidery workshop to find her, and she was welcome at any time.
After leaving the embroidery workshop, Yun Xi had an extra tael of silver on her body.
The original owner does the work for the embroidery workshop and uses all his own silk fabrics, embroidery threads, etc., so the price is relatively high.
The fan and handkerchief cost ten yuan in total, which averaged out to about one hundred yuan.
Then, Yun Xi went to a medical clinic near Xiufang.
The medical clinic is not big, but it is full of people. The person sitting in the clinic is an old doctor with a gray beard.
In addition to the old doctor, there were two medicine boys. One was taking medicine and the other was making medicine. They were very busy.
Looking at the situation, the old doctor might not even have time to drink water, let alone see her.
Yun Xi planned to leave and try the next medical clinic.
She didn't have much time. If she went back late, she might be questioned by Ji Jiuye, so she couldn't afford to wait.
"Get out of the way, doctor, please check on my young master first. My young master has a severe fever and his situation is very dangerous..."
Just as she was about to leave, several men pushed through the patients at the door and barged in. One of them was carrying a teenager on his back.
The young man closed his eyes tightly, his face was flushed, and he could feel a burst of heat from a distance. It seemed that the fever was as severe as they said.
"Hey, you guys who are coming later, do you understand that first come, first served? There are so many people waiting. Everyone is in danger, and you are not the only one who is in danger. Why should you be asked to see the doctor first? Go, go, wait in the back. Bar."
"That's right. I came early in the morning. I've been waiting for most of the day and I haven't even taken my turn yet. Why do you guys who come after me see the doctor first?"
“…”
Before the men could see the doctor, they were surrounded by waiting patients in the hospital and received accusations from all directions.
