Chapter 210 Who will give her candied haws?
Regardless of whether the person coming this time is Shen Ruolan or not, Mu Jinxuan wants to go there in person. If that is not possible, he can take this opportunity to go to Beiming.
After all, his "illness" has not been cured yet, so it is normal for him to seek medical treatment outside all day long.
"Yes, Your Highness." The guard outside the door responded loudly.
When Li Heng came back and heard that his master was going on a long journey, he quickly persuaded him, "Master, now that the princes are not in the capital, this is the best time for you to build up your power. How can you go on a long journey at this time?"
Mu Jinxuan said indifferently, "Whoever wants to raise power can do so. I am no longer interested in that."
As long as they don't offend him, he is willing to be a law-abiding "sick" prince. Otherwise, don't blame him for being rude.
Li Heng saw that his master suddenly showed no interest in the position. He looked at him anxiously and said, "Master, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts over the years?"
His master had endured countless hardships for all these years in order to get that position despite his sick body. Now, with just one word of loss of interest, all his efforts would be wasted. How could this be possible?
Mu Jinxuan glanced at his anxious subordinate and said to him, "It's just a change of living style. It can't be said to be in vain."
He just doesn't want to continue, but he's not giving up his previous efforts. How could it be in vain?
"Okay." Seeing that he couldn't convince his master, Li Heng had no choice but to bow his head and accept his fate.
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued to ask his master: "Master, are we really going to Medicine King Valley this time?"
Mu Jinxuan said without thinking: "Of course not."
If he guessed correctly, Shen Ziqian must have picked up Shen Ruolan from Beiming and returned via Xia Kingdom, and then returned to Yaowang Valley. He could just wait for them halfway instead of going to Yaowang Valley and waiting there foolishly.
When Li Heng heard that they were not going to Medicine King Valley, he instantly understood what his master meant and quickly bowed to him and said, "I understand. I will prepare right away."
Before dawn the next day, the "sick prince" of the Prince's Mansion of Yan State left with a group of people in the direction of Yaowang Valley.
Mu Jinxuan and his subordinates disguised themselves and followed the crowd until the "sick prince" successfully left the capital city gate, then he and his subordinates walked in another direction.
Five days later, Shen Ziqian brought Shen Ruolan to a larger city. He asked Shen Ruolan to get off the carriage and introduced her as they walked: "Sister Lan, this is Jieshan Medicine City. It gathers medicine merchants from all over the world. It is the city with the most complete medicine among the surrounding countries. In the future, if you want to buy any medicine, you can come here to take a look."
After listening to Shen Ziqian's introduction, Shen Ruolan sniffed her nose and smiled at Shen Ziqian, "This place is indeed worthy of being called Medicine City. As soon as we entered the city gate, the rich aroma of medicine hit our noses."
Shen Ziqian said to Shen Ruolan, "That's because we are used to dealing with medicinal herbs, so it smells very good. If it were an ordinary person, I guess few people would be able to stand this smell."
What Shen Ziqian didn't say was that this Jieshan Medicine City actually has another nickname, which is the Stinky City. Many people who don't like the smell of medicine come to this place, and when they smell the odor, they can't even stay there for one night and run away.
Shen Ruolan nodded, looked at the various medicinal herbs displayed on the street, and asked Shen Ziqian: "Cousin, can anyone buy the herbs here?"
Shen Ziqian: "Any doctor who has some knowledge of medicine can buy it. The others will either be purchased by drug dealers from various countries or sold to the Shen family's Yu'an Hall."
After saying that, he took one of the children from Shen Ruolan's arms and continued to say to her: "Let's go, I'll take you to Yu'an Hall."
"Okay," Shen Ruolan said to Shen Ziqian while holding her daughter.
Soon, the two stopped in front of a grand shop. Shen Ziqian pointed at the big words above the shop and said to Shen Ruolan, "Sister Lan, this is Yu'an Hall."
When Shen Ruolan heard that the Shen family had arrived at Yu'an Hall, she looked up. Unexpectedly, this look made her stunned. This Yu'an Hall with a strong ancient atmosphere was very similar to the ancestral hall of their Shen family in the previous life.
Shen Ziqian saw Shen Ruolan staring at the plaque of Yu'an Hall. He looked at her and asked, "Sister Lan, what's wrong?"
Shen Ruolan came back to her senses, smiled at Shen Ziqian and said, "Brother, it's okay. I just feel that this place gives me a too intimate feeling."
After Shen Ruolan's words, Shen Ziqian smiled and said, "Sister Lan is also a member of the Shen family. It's normal for her to feel at home here."
"What my cousin said is right." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she slowly walked towards Yu'an Hall holding the child.
Shen Ruolan came to Yu'an Hall. She looked around and saw that except for the gate, the layout inside was very different from the ancestral hall in her previous life. She felt a little regretful. She thought the two would be related, but she didn't expect that they were only similar in appearance.
Shen Ziqian had no idea what Shen Ruolan was thinking. He took Shen Ruolan to visit the huge Yu'an Hall and kindly introduced each pharmacy to her and told her what they were used for. The two of them spent a full quarter of an hour visiting the entire Yu'an Hall.
After Shen Ruolan learned about some of the Shen family's deeds, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the ancestor of the Shen family was simply like a god. His vision and wisdom were truly not something that ordinary people could achieve.
A noble family has been able to stand firm for hundreds of years relying solely on the people. If it didn't have certain wisdom and means, the Shen family would have been in ruins for many years.
No wonder the younger generations of the Shen family all strictly abide by the ancestral precepts of the Shen family, because their ancestors had foresight and eliminated all factors that would drag down the Shen family, and asked the younger generations to strictly abide by them, which allowed them to avoid disasters time and time again.
Now Shen Ruoyelan instantly understood why Shen Ziqian had so cruelly rejected the beauty he met in Qingcheng.
In order to better pass on the family heritage, he could only cruelly turn away the person he liked. There was no other way. Once he became related to the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, the Shen family would be pushed into the limelight. Within three generations at most, they would be liquidated by all countries.
Therefore, he was very rational and chose to continue being a doctor who seemed ordinary yet extraordinary.
When Shen Ruolan thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh. How can sugarcane be sweet at both ends? Just like many things in life, there are gains and losses, it all depends on your choice.
"Girl, this is a young man who asked me to give it to you." Suddenly, a boy of eight or nine years old interrupted Shen Ruolan's thoughts with a string of tempting and delicious candied haws.
Shen Ruolan came back to her senses. She looked down at the boy in front of her and asked, "Little boy, did you send the wrong person?"
She just arrived at Jieshan Medicine City today and doesn't know anyone here. Who would send her candied haws?
