Chapter 905 The Scholar Who Abandoned His Husband and Children 15
Seeing Xiao Yun nod, he picked up his pen and began writing the prescription and recovery method, then handed the completed prescription to Xiao Yun. "Take three doses of medicine home first, one dose per day, boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, take it twice a day, morning and evening, and come back for a follow-up visit after you finish drinking it."
Xiao Yun took the prescription, paid the money, and the young man went to get the medicine. The doctor asked Xiao Yun again about how to make the cane. Xiao Yun told her that as long as she described it to someone skilled in carpentry, he could make it.
After getting the medicine, the two left the clinic and headed back towards the dental clinic.
There weren't many people in the brokerage, and a slightly overweight middle-aged man stepped forward to serve them.
"Greetings, gentlemen. My surname is Huang, and you may call me Huangya. Is there anything you need?"
Xiao Yun stepped forward and replied, "Greetings, Mr. Huangya. I am Xiao Yun, a scholar who has come to take the imperial examination. I would like to rent a suitable courtyard. I would appreciate it if you could recommend one."
She had originally considered hiring a maid or servant, but after what Jia Duo Bao said, she decided to use a robot instead. Since it lacked spiritual energy and was subject to rules, the loyalty talisman would likely be unusable. Wouldn't that be equivalent to hiring someone to monitor her? A robot would be safer.
"So you're Scholar Xiao, you're too kind. There's a place called Jidi Hutong in the western part of the city. The courtyards there are specially prepared for scholars who come to participate in the spring imperial examinations. Although the prices are slightly higher than some ordinary houses, they are more suitable for preparing for the exams, and you can also exchange ideas with other scholars..."
Li Gui would drop off the passengers and then take them back south, never knowing there was such a place specifically for test takers. This time, she certainly learned a lesson.
Xiao Yun had plenty of gold and silver in his spatial storage, and he had also taken the Zheng family's savings. He was really not short of money, so without saying a word, he wanted to rent a small, detached courtyard in Jidi Hutong.
Upon hearing this, the man with yellow teeth went to get the booklet and flipped through it. After a moment, his face was full of smiles as he said, "What a coincidence! There's a perfect empty courtyard in this alley. It's a detached house, quiet and clean, but the rent is a bit more expensive than other courtyards."
Xiao Yun waved his hand dismissively, "Price is not a problem, as long as the yard is suitable."
Seeing how generous she was, Huang Yaren became even more enthusiastic and quickly led them to see the courtyard.
Jidi Hutong was right across the street. They walked straight there. When they arrived, Xiao Yun saw that although the courtyard was not large, it was well-laid out and the rooms were clean and bright, which suited her just right.
They immediately agreed on the rent with the man with the yellow teeth, paid the money, and received the keys.
Since all the luggage was on the carriage, Li Gui helped carry it inside, and they could stay there tonight.
After settling her things, Xiao Yun told Li Gui that she would have Huang Yaren help her find an old woman to take care of her later, and that she could go to the local branch of the carriage and horse trading company without worry. She also gave her the letter that she had written earlier.
Li Gui took the letter and put it in her bosom, saying earnestly, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the letter to your husband. Be careful while you are alone in the capital. If anything happens, you can go to the carriage shop. Some of our people from Huilan County will come over, and you can ask them to take the letter back."
Xiao Yun nodded, "I know, thank you for making the trip, sister."
"Sigh, it's nothing to worry about, it's all what I should do. Take care of yourself, I'll be going now..." After saying that, he drove the carriage away.
After Xiao Yun and the others left, he took out a housekeeping robot and had it tidy up the house before going to the bedroom. He couldn't remove the splint on his leg for the time being; he had to wait until Li Gui left the capital, in case she came back again.
Jia Duo Bao suddenly appeared, "This place looks pretty good. What are your plans next? Should we investigate the Third Princess's system?"
Xiao Yun shook her head, "No rush, let's talk about it tonight. We don't even know where they are in broad daylight."
Jia Duo Bao: "What are you planning to do? Just create the system directly?"
Xiao Yun sat on the bed made up by the robot. "We'll see. If that system doesn't affect this world or my mission, I won't cause trouble. If it does, I'll find out who it is."
Jia Duo Bao rolled his eyes. "Isn't that obvious? Any system has a purpose. The host they chose is a princess. Whether it's a strategy or a counterattack, it's all aimed at the royal family. How could it not affect you? Just say you've found it."
Xiao Yun ignored it, had the robot wipe the table clean, and waved to set out a table full of food, all of which were her favorite dishes.
There was nothing in the kitchen when she first moved in, so she had to eat what was in her spatial storage for now. She hadn't had a proper meal since she transmigrated.
While eating, he extended his divine sense, covering the entire Jidi Hutong within its range.
This alley is only a little over 200 meters long, but there are more than 60 courtyards on both sides, mostly small courtyards. Compared to them, the one Xiao Yun rented was of average quality, with three main rooms, two side rooms, a livestock shed, and a firewood shed.
