The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

The Tianhe Dynasty was a great country with strong military power, peace and prosperity, and the capital, the Nine Emperors City, was very prosperous.

It is midsummer now. Although the heat is unbearable, people on the street still dress appropriately and cover themselves tightly.

The customs of this dynasty are somewhat similar to those of the ancient times in Xiu Luoran's previous life.

Xiu Luoran was wearing a light green robe with arrow sleeves and a waist. In order to keep cool, she had her hair styled like a man, which was very similar to the long ponytail she wore high up as a girl in her previous life.

The ponytail was also tied with a light green ribbon and a beautiful bow.

She wore earrings and bracelets and waved a round fan so that she would not be mistaken for a man.

As for the gossip caused by her hairstyle, she doesn't care.

Xiu Luoran found a place selling meat, and when she looked, she saw that only some pork scraps were left.

"Boss, do you have beef and mutton?"

The shopkeeper was about to get angry when he heard this, but when he looked up and saw that it was a little girl, he restrained himself. But he still said unhappily:

"Hey little girl, we have no grudges in the past or today, so please don't hurt me."

Xiu Luoran was confused: "Boss, I just asked you if you have beef or mutton, how did it hurt you?"

The shopkeeper yelled, "The court's laws prohibit killing cattle and eating meat. If you are caught, you will go to jail.

You come here to buy beef, and people who don’t know might think that my stall sells beef.

Tell me, are you harming me?"

Oxen are an important productive force. Unless they die of old age, illness or injury, they are never allowed to be slaughtered.

Xiu Luoran suddenly realized what was going on and raised his hands to clasp his fists:

"Shopkeeper, I have always lived in a nunnery, so I really don't know about this. I'm sorry."

When the shopkeeper heard what was going on, he calmed down:

"Little girl, if you can't kill the cow, there will be no beef. Now the grass is lush and it's the time for sheep to grow meat. Who would be willing to kill the sheep?

My butcher stall only sells pork.

It’s too hot, so we dare not kill too many. You came late, so only the edges and corners are left.”

Xiu Luoran thought about it and thought that the food at other meat stalls would probably be similar to this one.

Buy it. With her skills, she can make delicious food with leftover ingredients.

In his previous life of nearly forty years, Xiu Luoran only did two things:

First, in order to complete the task, study various professional skills diligently, such as martial arts, medical skills...

Second, she worked hard to study cooking and learn how to make all kinds of delicious food, because she is a real foodie.

Looking at the scraps on the ice basin, Xiu Luoran smiled:

"Boss, it's not bad. It's actually chilled."

It's so hot that the pork will go bad and stink in less than half a day, not to mention that the sun is setting now.

The shopkeeper smiled and explained, "My neighbor manages a large ice cellar in the government office. I go to him to get some crushed ice and send him a piece of meat every now and then."

It turned out to be the case.

"Boss, how much do you sell these scraps for? I'll buy them all if the price is right."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, because you know, the scraps here are the hardest to sell.

Why? Because the rich people would buy good meat or chickens and ducks to eat, and the poor people would not patronize the meat stalls at all.

As a result, there would be a lot of leftovers from his stall every day, and his family would have enough to eat.

Hearing Xiu Luoran say that he was going to buy them, he hurriedly said:

"Little girl, if you want all of them, I'll charge you sixty cents for them. You know, pork is thirteen cents a pound."

Xiu Luoran looked at a pig's head, six or seven pig's trotters, and two pairs of offal in a large ice basin. Sixty cents was simply too cheap.

"Boss, I'm from the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion. I'll give you ten more coins. Can you ask someone to help take me home?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed:

"Row."

The shopkeeper called his assistant over, got a wheelbarrow, pulled a large ice basin which had little ice left, and followed Xiu Luoran to the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.

Two people were standing in front of the second-floor window of a restaurant facing the street, looking down at the street.

"Fifth brother, that's Fourth brother's fiancée, right?"

"Ah."

"Fifth brother, do you think the things she bought are edible? She didn't buy them to feed the dog, did she?"

The fifth prince Yi Jingxuan also had the same question in his mind at this moment, but it seemed that he should buy it back to eat.

It is impossible for a young lady from a marquis's mansion to go out and buy dog ​​food.

"Seventh Brother, is the chef at the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion very good at cooking?"

Without a good cook, these things won’t taste good.

The Seventh Prince Yi Jingge thought for a moment:

"I haven't heard of it."

Xiu Luoran was walking on the street, and as she walked, she felt someone was following her.

She turned around suddenly and saw a beggar woman on the side of the road, staring at her.

Xiu Luoran had received special training in his previous life, so his hearing and eyesight were exceptionally good.

She could see clearly that although this old woman's clothes were dirty and her hair was matted, her eyes were bright and sharp, and her face and hands were white and delicate. She could tell at a glance that she came from a wealthy family.

Xiu Luoran asked the butcher to leave first, and she led the beggar woman to a secluded corner:

"Tell me, what are you following me for?"

The beggar woman said with certainty:

"Young lady, do you know martial arts?"

Xiu Luoran didn't say anything, and the beggar woman continued:

“My name is Su Jin, and I’m thirty-nine years old.

I used to be a maid in the Queen's Fengyi Palace. When I was 27 years old, the Queen showed mercy and released me.

Soon, I was invited by many wealthy families to teach the women in their families etiquette and rules.

Two years ago, the Second Prince's wife invited me to the Second Prince's Mansion and asked me to teach the concubines and maids in the mansion.

She was very good to me and I was very loyal to her. Unexpectedly, I was wrong about her.

In order to deal with the two concubines in the palace, the Second Princess asked me to give them sterilization drugs, but was discovered by the Second Prince.

The Second Princess pretended to save me, but secretly poisoned me to silence me.

I once saved a servant in the palace, and he desperately helped me escape.

I have been poisoned deeply and won't live for many days.

I came to see the girl because I wanted to ask her for a favor and go to the Erwangfu Garden to get some things. That was the money I had saved for my entire life.

I'm dead, and the only thing I'm worried about is Qu Hou, my childhood sweetheart.

For my sake, he never married and was driven out of his family. He came to Beijing to find me. He found me five years ago and we lived happily together.

At that time, I had enough money for the two of us, and I didn't want to go to the Second Prince's Palace at all.

But the Second Princess used threats and inducements, so I had no choice but to agree.

Qu Hou was afraid that the Second Princess would catch him and threaten me, so he had a big quarrel with me, pretended to break up, and returned home. In fact, he did not leave the capital.

When we were together, we spent all Qu Hou's money.

He said he would use my money when he couldn't make money anymore.

Qu Hou's neighbor is a prodigal son who lives in a shabby house and steals things every day.

Qu Hou had to go out to work, and I didn't dare leave the money at Qu Hou's house, so I secretly buried it in the garden of the Second Prince's Mansion. I lived next to the garden.

I thought that one day I would get more money, leave the Second Prince's Mansion happily, and go back to live with Qu Hou, but I didn't expect it to end up so tragically.

It has been more than ten days since I left the Second Prince's Palace, and I haven't found anyone reliable to help me get my things.

I thought that after I got the things back, I would quietly give them to Qu Hou, and then I would find a place to quietly wait for death.

If I can't get the things back, I will die with regret. Qu Hou has suffered so much in his life, and I owe him so much."

After listening to Su Jin's story, Xiu Luoran asked her:

"You want me to help you get your stuff back?"

"Yes."

"You should know that in our Nine Emperors City, apart from the Imperial Palace, the Second Prince's Palace is probably the most heavily guarded."

“I know it’s not easy, I’ll give half of the things back to the girl, and I can draw a topographic map for her.

The girl is a daughter of a marquis and may not care about the money.

Please help me, girl, to fulfill my last wish."

Su Jin said as he knelt down.
