The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 109 The Bought Child Bride ([-]) (First update)
The capital of Qiangui Province.

This is a large city with a population of about 30.

There are all kinds of shops everywhere in the city, rice shops, pharmacies, cloth shops, money shops... everything can be said to be there.

However, this city is located inland, and there is no waterway business, so most of the businessmen who come and go rely on land for food.

These traveling merchants can often bring a lot of novel news to this inland city where information is relatively limited.

For example, Yuan Shikai in the north, the governor of Zhili, has successfully forced the Qing emperor to abdicate.

I heard that the Empress Dowager Longyu burst into tears when she and her six-year-old little emperor took the abdication edict in the Yangxin Hall!

In the Golden Luan Hall, the empress dowager, who used to be honorable, couldn't even care about the dignity of the royal family, and cried that she had no face to go underground to meet her ancestors...

Then there is the group of revolutionaries in the north, these people have been making a lot of trouble.

The governor of Zhili was attacked by several revolutionaries with bombs when he walked to the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City. Fortunately, he survived.

Looking at the whole country, telegrams are talking about "moving towards a republic" almost every day.

But what this republic is, many people have no idea at all.

And these little people in the fields are still living a small life of self-sufficiency.

After all, no matter who the emperor takes the seat, for them, there is no essential difference.

However, these major events that happened in the south and north are still too far away from here.

Nothing but a little novelty for the people here.

For the people in the provincial city, only one major event has happened recently, and that is that the daughter of a great general's family in the city has become engaged!

I heard that the person who is going to marry the eldest lady is a young man from the countryside.

In the eyes of many people, the poor boy who was able to marry the general's daughter was definitely lucky, and they didn't know how many lifetimes he had spent to achieve such good fortune.

……

To the southeast of the provincial capital, there is an inner lake as clear as a mirror.

The scenery on both sides of the lake is beautiful, and there are many big houses of people.

The Mansion of General An, who has been talked about by the people for the past few days, is also located around the lakeside.

In the afternoon of that day, in the general's mansion, a few maids dressed as brightly as emerald feathers were whispering under the curtain.

"I heard that today the eldest lady is angry with Mr. Bai again."

"What's going on? Please tell me."

One person answered, "What else could be going on? It's been so long since the two of them decided to get married, but Mr. Bai has never set a wedding date. Isn't this obviously dragging the eldest daughter of our family? The two of them are worried about this. We have argued about this matter several times.”

An elderly woman, nibbling the melon seeds in her hand, spit out a mouthful of melon shell after hearing this.

"What do you know? I heard that Mr. Bai's family has an original spouse. If there is no divorce, according to the rural sayings, the young lady will become the concubine of his Bai family. Marry the eldest daughter of the general's family as a concubine. But it made a lot of money."

Another older servant woman frowned and asked, "Where did you hear the news? It's out of date, right? How did I hear that Mr. Bai's original family was a child bride?"

Another person lowered his voice and answered.

"Speaking of this matter, I remembered it. When our eldest daughter first fell in love with Mr. Bai, he refused to admit that he had a family. Later, the general secretly sent someone to Mojia Village to investigate, and then Knowing that he had a child bride, she gave birth to two daughters for him!"

"Didn't some new marriage law be enacted in the city a few days ago? As soon as he heard that the child bride was no longer counted, Mr. Bai hurriedly wrote a letter to his family and sent a messenger to deliver it. In my opinion, The first part of this letter is to tell the family to get rid of the child bride as soon as possible!"

When a little maid heard this, she unconsciously said, "Speaking of it this way, isn't that child bride very pitiful? How can a woman with two children survive?"

One person curled his lips and said, "How else can you live? Go sell your body! There have been quite a few hook-and-rail courtyards opened in the city over the years. Of course, those lowly people have a lowly way of living..."

These people were talking vigorously, when a young servant came from a distance and waved to them while running.

"What are you all gathering here for? Why don't you go to the front hall quickly? Madam said there is something big to announce, so everyone in our house should rush to the front hall to gather now!"

A beautiful maid blinked her eyes, looked at the boy and said, "Do you know what the big deal is?"

The boy was afraid of strangers, and when he saw the beautiful woman asking questions, his face suddenly turned red.

He faltered and said, "I heard... I heard that the wedding date of Miss and Mr. Bai has been set."

After hearing this, the group of maids and women immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one said much for a while.

After going to the front hall, the elegantly dressed general's wife really talked about the important matter of the family's wedding.

The wedding date is set on the sixth day of next month, which is a good day.

The good news spread quickly in the provincial capital, and many people were looking forward to the day of their wedding to join in the fun.

At this time, in a remote hotel in the northwest corner of the city, Lin Shu was taking care of two children.

She has been in the city for two or three days.

At first she planned to find some errand in the city to do.

But many places that hired people saw her with two babies and immediately waved her away and told her to go elsewhere.

During this period, she also met many strange people.

Here, some people asked her whether the velvet she was carrying was male or female, and wanted to spend money to ask her to buy a child.

Some people saw that she looked young and had a good complexion, and asked her in a roundabout way if she wanted to do skin business.

These are pimps.

They are responsible for hooking up those desperate women into the fire pit.

Lin Shu never paid any attention to these people.

In the hotel, Lin Shu sorted out the loose change on hand.

The money was saved by the original owner. After deducting the three-day accommodation and food expenses, the remaining money is only enough to stay in the hotel for two days.

Waiting to run out of money is no good.

Lin Shu thought so, and opened a small package she brought out from Bai's house.

The package contained many herbs that she had previously picked in the fields.

At this time, the herbs have been processed by her, and they are in good quality. Some of them are suitable for use as wound medicine, and she has also made them into secret ointments for external application.

Lin Shu thought about it, and decided to take these things and go to a medical shop in the city to see if anyone was willing to accept them.

If possible, she would also like to use the medical skills she learned in the previous world to sit in a medical clinic, so that she can earn some money.

Lin Shu checked the items and rewrapped them.

Then she took the two children with her and walked out of the hotel with the small package.

Because Guizhong is rich in medicinal materials, there are many businessmen who come and go to deal with medicinal materials.

Therefore, there are many drugstores in the provincial capital, but there are not many medical clinics, but there are about a dozen of them.

Lin Shu didn't go to those big pharmacies or medical clinics. She knew that these big shops didn't care about such a small thing in her hand.

All she went to were small shops.

However, these small pharmacies are either not interested in her things, or they just want to buy them at a low price.

As for those small medical clinics, most of them offered very low prices, and even wanted to steal her things.

When encountering such a person, Lin Shu just turned around and left.

If they still want to catch up, she will show her fist without hesitation.

After wandering around the city for a long time, Lin Shu found another small medical clinic around the corner.

The business of this medical clinic seemed deserted and deserted, with no customers at all.

An old man with a white beard sat in the hall, and a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was in charge of dispensing medicine.

When Lin Shu brought the child to the door, the girl was quite enthusiastic.

When she heard that Lin Shu was here to sell things, the smile on her face disappeared, and she asked her to go to another store to sell things with a cold expression, saying that her own medical center did not accept these things.

The old Chinese medicine doctor sitting in the hall was very kind. When he saw Lin Shu with two children, he thought that life was not easy for her, so he waved to Lin Shu to take out the things she brought and take a look.

Lin Shu took out her small package, placed it on his desk and opened it.

The old Chinese doctor carefully checked the dozens of herbal medicines in it, and carefully sniffed the small bottle of ointment made by Lin Shu.

He looked at Lin Shu after rest assured, "These things of yours are not bad, the old man is willing to pay a tael of silver to accept them. If you are willing..."

Before he could finish speaking, the young girl on the side quickly shouted, "Grandpa! Where can we find money in our medical clinic? We don't need these things..."

When she said this, she glanced at Lin Shu with a few unkind eyes.

After walking a few steps, Lin Shu came to sit down in front of the old Chinese doctor.

She stared at the latter seriously and said, "Old sir, can I feel your pulse?"

Just now, when the old Chinese doctor was inspecting the medicinal materials, Lin Shu was also observing the other party.

She was keenly aware that the other person's face was showing an unusual and sickness, and there was probably something wrong with this person's body.

After hearing what Lin Shu said, the old Chinese doctor thought he had heard it wrong.

He couldn't help asking, "Girl, what you want to say is let me take your pulse?"

"No, I'll take your pulse. I'm also a doctor."

Lin Shu's serious answer made the old and the young opposite her couldn't help laughing.

The granddaughter of the old Chinese doctor covered her sleeves and said with a smile: "Grandpa, do you know that you can't do good deeds now? If you are not careful, you will find the liar instead!"

After hearing his granddaughter's words, the old Chinese doctor couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that he had misjudged the person.

Just when he was about to ask Lin Shu to leave, the latter suddenly said, "Do you often feel chest tightness and nausea after waking up every morning? Do you often feel dizzy in your head, and you often feel dizzy in front of your eyes?" Can’t see clearly? And you’ve seen other doctors, but you can’t find any problems at all?”

With these few questions from her, the old Chinese doctor couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, and turned to look serious.

The granddaughter of the old Chinese doctor beside her also tensed up.

Why could this strange woman know about the symptoms that her grandfather had been experiencing for half a year?

Could it be that she is really a doctor?

The old Chinese medicine doctor examined Lin Shu carefully for a moment with his sharp eyes, and then slowly stretched out his left arm and placed it in front of Lin Shu.

He said in a deep voice, "Since Your Excellency's eyes are as bright as a torch, I'll be grateful for your Excellency to diagnose this old man's pulse."

Lin Shu stretched out her right hand to tap the pulse on his left wrist.

Immediately afterwards, a spiritual energy invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people swam through more than a dozen large acupoints in the old Chinese doctor's body in an instant.

The other places were unimpeded, but when this trace of spiritual energy began to enter the brain of the old Chinese doctor, they encountered huge resistance.

Lin Shu suspected that there were either blood clots or tumors where resistance was encountered.

When she withdrew her hand, the old and the young in front of her saw her calm expression, and felt nervous.

Before the two of them could ask questions, Lin Shu spoke first.

"Three months, with your current state, you can live for another three months."

three months?
The old Chinese medicine doctor's face suddenly shrank.

Although he didn't know what happened to his body, even his granddaughter didn't know that he had started coughing up blood recently.

He himself doubted that with his current body, he couldn't last long at all.

No, he is only 50 years old this year, he hasn't seen his granddaughter get married yet, he doesn't want to die yet!
After Lin Shu finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the old Chinese doctor stood up quickly, trying to stop the expert.

How could the young girl standing aside at this time fail to see that the young woman in front of her was an expert who could save her grandfather's life?
She immediately stood in front of Lin Shu without hesitation, and knelt down as soon as her knees softened.

"This doctor, I beg you, please save my grandpa!"

Lin Shu glanced at the man kneeling in front of her.

"I can save people, but I can't guarantee that the patient will recover 100%. Besides, I have conditions."

At this time, the old Chinese doctor's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"As long as you can cure this strange disease, no matter what conditions you have, we will promise you!"

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "Deal."

The three discussed for a long time and finalized many matters.

Soon, Lin Shu and her two children lived in an empty room at the back of the clinic.

Next, she will set aside two fixed periods of time every day at noon and evening to treat the old Chinese medicine practitioner.

At other times, she will also sit in front of the doctor with the old Chinese doctor to diagnose and treat patients.

In order to increase the medical clinic's income, Lin Shu personally renovated the store's facade, made some cosmetics that were beneficial to beauty, and sold them at the entrance of the medical clinic.

At first, because these products were unknown, few customers came to buy them.

But as some women gradually bought these products and used them back, they found that the milky white nephrite paste applied on the face and body can indeed make the skin smoother and more moisturized.

For a time, Lin Shu's cosmeceutical business gradually improved.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, took away most of the original medicine cabinets and gave most of the space in the shop to Lin Shu.

However, under Lin Shu's insistence, Dr. Xu still came out to consult for a period of time every day, and most of his patients were young and old.

Those older girls and younger daughter-in-laws are more willing to see a female doctor like Lin Shu.

About half a month later, the medical clinic where Lin Shu worked was already well-known in the provincial capital.

At this time, there were still three days left before Bai Shisheng and the daughter of General An's family got married.
