Chapter 17: Buying Him Clothes
use her as a hostage That way, the Empress of Xi Liang will be too afraid to play tricks on our Northern Border!"Phoenix Ming narrowed her eyes slightly, "I'm afraid the Empress this time didn't know...After tidying up, An Xuetang came out and said, "You can go in and see your wife now."
Boss Chen immediately rushed in, and An Xuetang smiled at his anxious look.
In this day and age, to actually see such genuine love, she looked at Boss Chen with newfound respect, especially since he could say those reassuring words, which was truly rare.
"Doctor Wang bowed to An Xuetang. "Could Miss An please tell me, Doctor Wang, how did you pull Mrs. Chen back from the brink of death"
An Xuetang was a little surprised. Though this doctor came from the clinic, he was unlike the medicine boy and Doctor Li.
She had nothing to hide. "If Dr. Wang were a man, perhaps he could have saved her," she said. "After all, the birth canal is in the abdomen. I just happened to be there."
To her serene and composed demeanor, Doctor Wang nodded in satisfaction. "I wonder if Miss would be willing to come to our medical hall This old man needs a disciple. Would you be willing"
An Xue Tang was indeed startled, but she still shook her head. “To be honest with you, I just went to your medical hall, but unfortunately, that kind of environment isn’t suitable for me.”
Dr. Wang wanted to say something more, but Mr. Chen came out with a beaming smile, "Miss, thank you so much!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to kneel down and thank An Xuetang.
An Xuetang quickly stopped him, "Mr. Chen, you're too kind. I'm just doing my job for the money."
"Right right, miss hasn't said the consultation fee yet, just speak up, I'll have someone prepare it right away," Boss Chen beckoned to his attendant.
The little servant immediately stepped forward, waiting for An Xue Tang to say the diagnosis.
An Xue Tang, however, looked at Wang the physician, "Could thirty taels of silver buy a set of silver needles"
Doctor Wang raised an eyebrow. "Alright, thirty taels of silver is just the price for a set of silver needles."
An Xuetang nodded and looked at Boss Chen, "Then my consultation fee is thirty taels."
The little servant frowned. He wanted to say that this girl's appetite was a bit too big.
A midwife only needs two ounces of silver, she actually asked for thirty ounces.
Before he could retort, Boss Chen nodded without hesitation. "Alright, Xiao Xing, go and get fifty taels of silver for the young lady."
Mr. Chen not only didn't think An Xuetang asked for too much, in his eyes, even if An Xuetang asked for one hundred taels of silver, he could afford it, and he was willing to give it.
His wife's life is priceless!
Though the servant boy was reluctant, his master had already agreed, so he couldn't say anything more. He immediately went to fetch fifty taels of silver.
Mr. Chen still wanted An Xue Tang to stay at home as a guest, but An Xue Tang was unwilling. She had Ah Jing at home too.
After receiving the silver, An Xuetang followed Dr. Wang back to the medical hall.
Doctor Wang tried all the way to persuade An Xue Tang to learn medicine with him and help out at their medical clinic.
But An Xuetang refused without hesitation. However, she still gave Dr. Wang her contact information, telling him to consider her if he had any patients he couldn't save.
This way, she can have an income without having to sit in the clinic.
She really disliked the environment of a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Even if she planned to see patients in the future, she would have her own clinic.
Dr. Wang is a straightforward person, he picked out a good set of silver needles for An Xue Tang.
An Xuetang, after taking the silver needle, paid the money and left immediately. The previous medicine boy had not blinked when she paid thirty taels of silver, but his eyes almost popped out when he saw her pay.
After An Xuetang left, the young apprentice only then found his voice, “Wang... Wang Doctor, did that girl really save Madam Chen”
"Of course," Dr. Wang nodded proudly.
Although he didn't know where this sense of pride in his heart came from.
Doctor Li let out a snort. "I guess it was just luck that she got away with it."
Doctor Wang glanced at Doctor Li and the apprentice. He seemed to instantly understand why An Xuetang was reluctant to come to the clinic.
He simply shook his head and returned to his consulting position.
Some people just look down on others and nothing can change that.
An Xuetang suddenly had twenty taels of silver in her pocket. She was over the moon and the first thing she did was go buy new clothes.
She couldn't even stand the sight of her ragged clothes herself, no wonder the young apprentice would look down on her.
She bought three sets of ready-made clothes for herself to wear alternately, and also bought a batch of cloth with high-quality fabric.
She was preparing to sew her own undergarment. You see, in this era, there was no such thing as an undergarment. Women would only wear a belly band when they went out. She truly wasn't used to it.
What's more, this body's development is really good. At eighteen years old, the important places are all well-developed, just like her original mother's.
Having bought everything she needed, she then looked at the men's clothing and purchased three sets of ready-made clothes for Mo Yunjing as well.
Although most people in this era sew their own clothes, An Xuetang doesn't have that skill. Even with the original owner's memories, she should know how to do it, but she's unwilling to use her hands for needlework.
I don't know what kind of psychology she had, but when she picked out clothes for Mo Yunjing, they surprisingly matched her color scheme.
In modern terms, it's like a couple's outfit.
An Xuetang's clothes are all made of good fabrics. A women's suit costs five hundred wen, and a men's suit costs six hundred wen. Thread and needle cost one hundred wen, and the fabric costs another hundred wen. In total, she spent three taels and five hundred wen this trip.
She had twenty taels left from today, plus seven taels given by Yunliu. Twenty-seven taels of silver spent three taels and five hundred wen, leaving twenty-three and five hundred wen. She touched her purse with satisfaction, glad that the money was enough to support her for a while.
The shopkeeper greeted her with a smile, "My dear girl, how do you plan to take this back Would you like me to find you a carriage to send you home I'll even cover half the cost of the carriage."
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, there are benefits to this
She smiled faintly and nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you, shopkeeper. But I still need to buy some more things. Could I leave the things here first”
"Okay, that's fine."
An Xue Tang left the tailor shop and went straight to the blacksmith's. She drew several surgical knives, she needed to take them to the blacksmith to be made.
"What does the young lady need" The blacksmith came to greet her as soon as he saw her enter.
"I have a few things I'd like the craftsman to take a look at and see if they can make."
The blacksmith nodded, his eyes lighting up when he saw the delicate knife in the drawing. “Did you draw this, miss”
An Xuetang smiled and didn't answer the question, but asked instead, "Could a craftsman make this"
The blacksmith nodded. "I can, but it'll take some time."
"That's fine, a month is doable"
"Okay, but the price is a bit higher because it takes more time and effort to polish it like this."
"Name your price, artisan."
"Five taels of silver."
An Xuetang thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll pay a tael as a deposit first, and I'll come to pick it up in a month."
After settling the surgical instruments, An Xuetang went to the butcher's shop. She bought a lot of pork. The butcher saw her staring at the pig bones and asked directly, "Miss, do you want pig bones"any unmarried young girls blushed when they saw him.Before Han Yun could even find a few people to ask about the situation, some bold women, their faces flushed red, eagerly rushed over. "Sir," they s...
