  It's almost there~

  It's better this way, at least she doesn't have to help him take notes. Lin Lan secretly felt relieved and happily hummed a tune while studying her new formula.

  Li Mingyun suppressed the urge to cover his forehead and muttered under his breath: What a heartless person.

  Yin Liu came to report: "Qiao's mother has arrived."

  Lin Lan hastily put down what she was doing: "I'll go out now."

  Li Mingyun perked up his ears and listened to the conversation outside.

  "Our young master has come down with a fever, but now he's much more lucid. He's complaining of hunger and wants to eat something. The mistress fed him half a bowl of rice porridge, and he didn't even throw up..."

  "Okay, remember to give him plenty of water, oh... and don't give him that ginger tea for now, the young master's throat is a bit swollen, ginger tea is spicy, drinking it will hurt his throat."

  "Thank you so much, Mrs. Li! If it weren't for meeting a living Bodhisattva like you, my wife would have been worried to death..."

  "Mrs Fang, don't be polite, it's just a small favor, I'll come over later to take a look at the young master."

  In a moment, Lin Lan came back, her footsteps light and quick, humming a little tune with even more energy. Li Mingyu glanced at her, and Lin Lan raised an eyebrow at him, looking pleased with herself, as if to say: Now you should finally believe in my medical skills, shouldn't you?

  Li Mingyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head, thinking: How long can you be so pleased with yourself? Don't want to go to Huqiu anymore?

  At dusk, Li Mingyu was about to leave when Lingyun came to report that the second young lady was not feeling well and would not be coming. Yezi slowly nodded.

  Lin Lan didn't think much of it, and Ye Biao must have been a bit traumatized, feeling down and not in the mood to listen to her talk about health preservation methods.

  In the evening, Lin Lan went to Qiao's boat again and didn't come back until after a while. As soon as she entered the house, she instructed Yurong: "Later, go tell Wenshan that tomorrow when the boat arrives in Suzhou, Mrs. Qiao asked me to bring Fang's mother to get medicine, let him follow along."

  This was mainly said to Li Mingyun, she had something important tomorrow and wouldn't accompany him to visit friends. As for Suzhou City, after getting the medicine ready, she still wanted to go take a stroll, it's just as well, one person can enjoy the leisurely and carefree time.

  Yu Rong glanced at Young Master and saw that he didn't make a sound, only then did she go out to inform Wen Shan.

  Li Ming remained silent, but in his heart, he was secretly disappointed. It seemed that he had always thought he held a good hand and just waited for the opponent to concede, but unexpectedly, the opponent didn't think so and threw down their cards, refusing to play anymore.

  One night without incident, the next morning, the boat arrived at Suzhou Ferry Terminal. Li Mingyun took Dongzi ashore to visit friends, while Qiao's family invited Lin Lan over with Mrs. Fang.

  Zhou's mother reminded Yinliu to follow Young Madam carefully and never get lost.

  After landing, Lin Lan inquired about the location of the pharmacy and rented a horse-drawn carriage. The group headed straight for "Ren An Tang".

  Just after Lin Lan and others left, Ding's mother went ashore alone.

  "Ren An Tang" is a well-known old brand in Suzhou, with a large storefront, complete medicinal materials, and good service attitude of the owner. Lin Lan envies it very much, hoping to open such a pharmacy herself in the future.

  The fellow looked at the densely written order and raised an eyebrow in surprise, asking uncertainly: "Ma'am, do you want to buy so much?"

  "Really? There shouldn't be so many medicinal materials in this shop, should there?" Lin Lan smiled and said.

  "Of course! Our store has all kinds of medicine. Please wait for a moment, madam, I'll go prepare it right away." The shop assistant said with a smile.

  Lin Lan had a lot of medicinal materials to prepare, and after waiting for more than half an hour, the apprentice finally finished preparing them, a whole big pile.

  "Three hundred and sixty-eight taels in total." The accountant said with a flourish after half a day of calculating on his abacus, his eyelids drooping.

  "Silver willow, go pay the silver." Lin Lan instructed.

  "I, I didn't bring silver..."

  Lin Lan's mind went "ding" as she realized her mistake of habitual thinking, still thinking that as a young mistress, buying things only required calling someone to pay for it. But little did she know, the servant's money also needed to be given by the master first. How terrible! Yesterday, she was so focused on giving Li Mingyu the cold shoulder that she forgot to ask him for silver, Lin Lan felt very embarrassed, should she let Wen Shan go back and ask Zhou Ma for silver?

  The fellow's face turned even uglier. Don't mention that after busy for half a day, others didn't have money and wouldn't buy it, isn't this just toying with people?

  "Otherwise, let's all chip in?"

  Wen Shan finished checking the medicine and stood up, saying: "No need, I'll pay, I'll pay." He also said to Lin Lan: "The young master handed over the silver ticket to me early this morning."

  Lin Lan was astonished, she hadn't expected Li Mingyun to actually think of it for her.

  "Still, Young Master has thought of everything."

  Lin Lan let out a disdainful snort, but didn't find Li Mingyun that annoying anymore. To think about it, yesterday's argument was boring enough, and now thinking back on it, there wasn't any point to it at all.

  After finishing the proper business, Lin Lan asked Mrs. Fang to take these medicinal materials back to the boat first, and she herself took Wen Shan and Yin Liu to stroll around Suzhou City.

  "Wen Shan, how much silver did the young master give?" Lin Lan asked, this question must be clarified first, if there is a surplus of silver, then they can buy some other things later.

  Wen Shan laughed and said: "There are six hundred taels!"

  Lin Lan secretly took a cold breath. Li Mingyu was really generous! With just one move, it was 600 taels of silver. Wouldn't that be enough to buy some good stuff?

  No longer worried about having insufficient silver, Lin Lan took the two of them straight to the most bustling Xishi.

  Three people strolled for a while, and Wen Shan's hands were soon filled with big and small bags.

  Lin Lan bought several beautiful handkerchiefs for herself, she can't embroider, and saw Ye Xiang'er's embroidered handkerchief was very delicate, so she envied her. Now seeing such exquisite Su embroidery, how could she miss it? She also bought a silver hairpin for Yin Liu, a pair of earrings for Yu Rong, a pair of shoes for Wen Shan and Dong Zi each, and a belt for Zhou Ma...

  "Madam, what shall we buy for Young Master?" Silver Willow reminded her.

  Lin Lan furrowed her brow, thought for a moment, and scanned the street full of glittering goods. In the end, she shook her head: "Forget it, there's nothing good here, and even if I bought something, Young Master wouldn't use it."

  Yinliu said: "No matter if young master will use it or not, it's still a token of young madam's heart! Young madam, just buy one, okay!"

  "Look over there! There's a fan! It's getting hotter and hotter!"

  Two people sang and harmonized, urging Lin Lan to buy a gift for Li Mingyun. Lin Lan had no choice but to choose a white paper fan, and under the suggestion of Silver Willow, she also bought a green silk embroidered fan case. She planned to write a few words on it after returning home, which would be considered a gift for Li Mingyun.

  Everything is ready. Wen Shan remembered Young Master's instructions and urged Young Madam to return early, saying: "Young Madam, it's getting late..."

  Lin Lan looked up at the sky, isn't it early? It's just noon now!

  "No rush, let Wen Shan ask around, where's a good place to eat nearby, we'll head back after lunch."

  The silver willow is also rare to come out and play, naturally agreeing with Madam Xiao's meaning.

  Wen Shan had to pant and run to ask around, and soon came back to say: "At the front turn there is a 'Welcome Guest' restaurant, I heard that their fish-flavored spring rolls are very good. Nearby there is also a pastry shop, their pastries are said to be the best in Suzhou."

  Lin Lan's stomach growled with hunger, and she immediately clapped her hands: "Alright, let's go to 'Welcome Guests' for lunch, and after eating, we'll bring some pastries back for everyone to try."

  The three of them turned around the street corner and saw a crowd of people gathered in front of them, chattering away in a lively manner.

  Lin Lan said curiously: "Wen Shan, go and take a look."

  Wen Shan struggled to squeeze through the crowd with his large and small bags, and soon ran back to say: "Everyone is looking at a medical notice."

  As soon as she heard about seeking medical attention, Lin Lan's occupational disease recurred: "You all wait here, I'll go take a look."
