53: Chapter 54 Heading to the Town Again_1
53 -54 Heading to the Town Again_1
Life in the countryside was very regular; everyone rose with the sun and rested at sunset.
Qiao Duo’er worked hard to adapt to this way of life.
Here, there were no tasks, no wars, it was indeed leisurely and carefree, just sometimes a tad boring.
However, as she gradually became acquainted with Tan Zhenghong, she could have casual chats with him, so time didn’t drag too much.
All in all, she was doing quite well.
Who says going with the flow isn’t an attitude towards life?
Several days of clear skies had passed, and Qiao Duo’er had collected quite an assortment of herbs.
Plus, the household was running out of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, so she decided to make another trip to town.
Before leaving, she tied up her hair with a wooden hairpin.
Suddenly, Qiao Duo’er remembered it had been seven days since she started applying the medicinal powder on her face, which could be considered a full course of treatment.
She didn’t know what the effect was because there wasn’t even a mirror in the house!
Unable to resist the urge, Qiao Duo’er scooped up a basin of water to use as a mirror and looked at her reflection.
The effects of the medicinal powder were quite good.
The sores and pimples on her face were now under control, and her skin had lightened a bit.
In another month or two, her skin should be able to return to its best condition.
With her skin getting clearer, her facial features began to stand out more.
Ah…
willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, coupled with a small mouth, she actually possessed a fair amount of beauty.
Qiao Duo’er felt an urge to laugh loudly at the sky; dolled up, her face turned out to be quite pretty!
She would no longer need to be shy about meeting people in the future!
Heh, let her indulge in a bit of vanity for a moment.
Tan Zhenghong noticed the change in Qiao Duo’er as well, and while he was happy for her, he also felt somewhat uneasy inside.

Was he still a match for such a Qiao Duo’er?
She was very outstanding, and he felt a bit inferior.
Qiao Duo’er didn’t notice Tan Zhenghong’s emotions; she was thinking that the town had a market day every ten days, and it just so happened to be market day today.
She could set up a stall with Sun Erhu and sell the things Tan Zhenghong had made.
Considering the comments from the Li Clan, Qiao Duo’er also called Er Ya along.
Er Ya was still young and couldn’t do much at home, so Tan Zhengyuan thought about it and agreed.
Without the girl at home, he wouldn’t have to hear her crying, which saved him from irritation.
Before long, the three of them arrived at the town.
Qiao Duo’er first helped Sun Erhu set up the stall properly.
With Erhu and Er Ya watching the stall, she felt reassured enough to head to the pharmacy.
There were two pharmacies in the town, Deji Hall and Ren Xin Hall.
Deji Hall was a century-old major pharmacy, with a specific source for its medicinal herbs.
Ren Xin Hall, on the other hand, had just started business not long ago and collected herbs brought in by the families from the landowner’s properties.
Upon arriving at Ren Xin Hall, the shop assistant asked warmly, “Miss, are you here for medicine or a consultation?”
“I’m here to sell herbs,” Qiao Duo’er replied.
The assistant nodded, taking the basket from Qiao Duo’er’s hands, “Just a moment, I’ll have our doctor take a look.”
Ren Xin Hall had only one doctor on duty, and at that moment, there were no patients waiting to be seen.
Qiao Duo’er had sorted and wrapped her herbs by category with paper.
The doctor examined each one, sometimes smelling or tasting them.
“Miss, your herbs are of fine quality and well-preserved.
I’ll give you half taels of silver for this basket,” the doctor said.
He praised her inwardly, thinking that the young woman must certainly have knowledge of medical theories.
To have prepared the herbs like this, she was definitely not an ordinary village girl.
With Ren Xin Hall not being a newcomer in the business and having a good reputation, Qiao Duo’er had no objections to the price.
She nodded immediately, “Thank you, sir.
I also have a wild ginseng here for you to look at.”
