Chapter 013 Identity
The Yaowang Sect's sect rules were filled with regrets that they had been given to Shaotang early in the morning.
She browsed through it, and it didn't say that the younger ones should serve the older ones. Otherwise, Master Cheng Yi would not be allowed to sit on the head of his aunt and master. The sentence that impressed her most was that the hierarchy of a sect is defined by medical skills.
If we really talk about medical skills, her ranking in the sect should be several steps higher.
She recalled that line of words carefully again, and then she felt relieved after confirming that it was correct.
But Xie Shisan was angry for this fool: "Why do I have to do all the dirty work for you? What kind of breaking of the rules is this? There are no children here to do rough work?"
Xie Yingren blushed and said in a low voice: "I used to be a boy who worked as a sweeper. Master saw that I was well-behaved and obedient, so he made an exception and accepted me as his disciple three years ago." Because of his poor background, he always felt that the shorter brothers were a bit inferior.
.
"What about the other children? Let them do it. You accompany me for a walk." Ran Shaotang didn't care about his origin. How can a hero ask about his origin?
Xie Yingren giggled: "There are no other children. Our sect is poor, and now only the master and uncle have children to take care of them."
Ran Shaotang was helpless: How could Yaowang Sect be so poor?
She had to think of a good way to make a fortune as soon as possible, so that Xie Shisan could at least hold his head high in front of the senior brothers and not be bullied.
For this reason, before returning to Kunfeng, she made a special trip around the village. By the way, she learned all about the village's conditions, people, and sophistication. She also learned a lot about the high-ranking officials of the Yaowang Sect from the villagers.
The author's secret history has been published, and it can be said to be a fruitful harvest.
This is not only the human skills she has cultivated in the last days, but the most important thing is that money plays a role.
Early the next morning, Xie Yingren drove a carriage carrying Shaotang and Cheng Yi, as well as two boxes of goods, and rushed to Qianmen Town.
The Yaowang Sect opened a medical clinic here, and every six months, disciples with superb medical skills would be sent to take turns to sit in the hall for consultation.
While doing the trial, it can also be regarded as making money for the Yaowang Sect's Kaiyuan.
Shaotang walked around the medical center. The medical center is divided into front and back yards. There is a hall in the front yard, where three senior brothers are responsible for treating patients. There are several rooms in the back yard that are used as living rooms. There are two medicine boys making medicine.
She stayed there for two cups of tea, and there was an endless stream of patients. It seemed that the medical skills of the senior brothers were quite remarkable. At least the people in the town recognized them.
Xie Yingren had just finished helping the clerk at the medical clinic unload the goods, and Shaotang glanced at him. Before Xie Yingren understood what was going on, Shaotang grabbed his arm and took advantage of Cheng Yi not paying attention, without even saying hello.
Beat him and sneak into the street like a rabbit.
The northwest border of Gaoxi State borders Zhou Rao State, with a dry climate, widespread deserts, and a lot of wind and sand. The only oasis, Guifang, forms a triangle with the border between the two countries.
Qianmen Town is located in Yuyang Pass, where you can not only enjoy the spectacular scenery of "the sun sets over the long river", but also enjoy the spectacular desert scenery of "the flat sand and the vast yellow sky reaching into the sky" from the city wall.
If there is a war, this will be a battleground between Gao Xi and Zhou Rao.
Ran Shaotang walked on the busiest street in Qianmen Town, but still felt that it was a wilderness.
Compared with Kyoto, the hustle and bustle here is just a scene before the market closes in Kyoto's bustling city.
In Xie Yingren's eyes, this is the best place. He can linger in front of each stall for a long time, touching and looking here and there, as excited as a child.
The stall owner saw him, grabbed his arm, and enthusiastically promoted his products.
"Brother, do you want to buy this rattle and play with it? It makes a lot of noise."
"Brother, you look so good-looking. Buy a hat and wear it. It's cold in the town at night and the weather may change."
Xie Yingren held up his hat and weighed whether the copper in his hand was enough.
He felt that Junior Brother Shaotang would not be cold if he put on his hat and slept in the bamboo hut.
Ran Shaotang noticed his look and immediately jumped eight feet away.
"I don't want a cuckold. You can keep it for yourself." Xie Shisan is really a bastard.
Xie Yingren put down his hat and grabbed the wooden sword next to him.
Ran Shaotang really wanted to snatch it away and chop him.
"Don't look at it. The things you picked are all for children to play with. Isn't that interesting? I won't be able to go shopping anymore when my uncle catches up soon."
Cheng Yi was left behind by Shaotang and Xie Yingren. He was probably in the medical clinic taking inventory with the pharmacist, checking accounts, and testing the disciples' homework. He had no time to attend to them. Otherwise, they would not be as comfortable as they were at the moment.
Although Ran Shaotang said he disliked Xie Yingren, he followed closely behind him and secretly paid for the things he liked while he was not paying attention.
For the first time, she felt that spending money on others was a happy thing.
The two of them walked to a cosmetics store one after another. Xie Yingren ignored it and asked Shaotang to follow him. He ran to a teahouse in front and stood at the door listening to someone's story with great interest.
Shaotang saw a dazzling array of rouges on the counter and hesitated whether to buy ten or eight boxes for Master and go back to honor her.
Ever since he was brought to Kunfeng Bamboo House by his senior brother, Shaotang has become a wild child without anyone to care about him. Even if he pretends to be well-behaved and diligent, he runs to greet his aunt and master, but he is ruthlessly blocked back.
She didn't understand why the master would ignore her after meeting him once.
According to Shaotang's logic, she should at least torture her enemy's son to vent his anger. Who would have thought that her aunt and master would give her a wild ride.
Since the master doesn't care about her, Mangui has naturally become a decoration. Shaotang is not afraid of him, no matter how ugly his face is, she can turn a blind eye.
On the other hand, several children in the courtyard were "beaten" by her with money, and each of them began to be kind to her. They cooked a lot of delicious food in various ways last night and sent it to the mountain.
When it comes to food, she wants to complain about three words: really, hard, and delicious.
She urgently needs to buy a good cook back. Buying the cook requires money, and the money she brought is almost gone. Fortunately, a huge sum of money should have arrived in Qianmen Town.
Before setting off from Kyoto, Ran Shaotang made an appointment with her weird dad to pick up the goods at the inn in Qianmen Town.
The town is not big, so you can find the inn in just one cup of tea.
It is not easy for a place like this that only accepts officials to store her valuables.
Fortunately, her father was resourceful and found such a safe and secure place, and fortunately the officials gave the prince consort face.
Her father's status as the prince's consort has made her very embarrassed and gritted her teeth since she was a child.
He is obviously the eldest son of the Ran family, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is as unpopular as the bastard born of a concubine. To the snobbery crowd in Kyoto, he is not considered the eldest son unless he crawls out of the belly of the eldest princess.
Every time she encountered such a white look, she was so angry that she couldn't show it. She could only vent her anger on her father's status as the prince-consort.
This identity has brought too much danger and humiliation to her and her mother.
All the burdens she is carrying now and the conspiracies she will face in the future are all given by the identity of this great prince-in-law.
The only advantage is that in official terms, the title of General is more effective than the name that does not live up to the name.
From time to time, she used her power to respond to emergencies. For the sake of being able to do things, she turned a blind eye to the fact that her father was "the husband of another woman", so that she was not so worried.
Today, she plans to use this identity to take a shortcut again.
She dragged Xie Yingren, who was listening to books and having fun, straight to the inn.
Soldiers with swords at the door stopped her. No one else was allowed in, let alone two little kids.
Like a magic trick, Shaotang took out the handwritten letter written by the Prince Consort from his arms and handed it over, explaining his intention. The soldier looked at the golden seal of the Prince Consort on it and instantly stood in awe of the little kid in front of him.
He immediately ran in and reported with a smile on his face.
