The Country Maiden: Fields and Leisure-Chapter 837 - 836 Wasted by You

Wang Yongzhu used to think that having the System, with its medicines, made all ailments unimportant. Wang Laozhu’s death served as a wake-up call, making her realize that human life cannot be salvaged.

Old Granny Zhang’s illness made it even clearer how fragile human life is in this time and space!

On the night when Old Granny Zhang had her second fever, she decided to study medicine. Not to mention others, what about Old Granny Zhang, Song Chongjin, and other family members in the future? What if another unforeseen event happens?

Good doctors are hard to come by, it’s better to rely on oneself!

Wang Yongzhu did not make this decision lightly. In the Xiao Tiantian System, she found a medical techniques exchange, but the points required were high and it had to be learned independently.

She consulted Xiao Tiantian. Soon, he released a task: "Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden task: My fate is decided by me, not by the heavens! Dear host, living in this backward time and space, have you felt the fragility and unpredictability of life? Do you feel heartbroken seeing your closest people getting sick and injured, then leaving you? Do you often regret at night, thinking if you could cure and save people, your loved ones might still be alive? For the peace of the universe and the world, this system shares the urgency of the host and wants what the host desires, hence the launch of the medical techniques exchange! The host’s strong desire to learn medical techniques has reached its peak value, initiating the exchange!"

"Medical techniques are divided into five levels: Primary Level, Intermediate Level, Advanced Level, Specialist, and Master Level. Achieve Primary Level, earn 500 points and gain 50 reputation! And so on."

This time, Wang Yongzhu felt that the System was surprisingly reliable, being able to exchange for medical techniques. Although she had to learn it herself to really acquire the medical techniques, this was an unexpected joy.

Know that in this time and space, doctors’ medical techniques are secret and not passed on. Renowned doctors typically inherit family-exclusive skills that are rarely shared.

Even if she wanted to learn, considering this time and space, there’s no one to teach her. Now with System training, it’s the best situation.

Especially since learning by herself also earns points, what more could she ask for?

After accepting this task, Wang Yongzhu didn’t idle around. She sorted out dye formulas, confirmed the formulas for ginger yellow and peacock green, tested the dyes several times until they were perfect, and then packed them into a box.

Today, her main purpose was to give these dye formulas to Ninth Master Lee.

Shopkeeper Wu was utterly dumbfounded, looking at Wang Yongzhu as if she were a monster.

He wanted to ask: Do you know how much these formulas are worth? And you’re just giving them away? Even if it’s for our Ninth Young Master, shouldn’t you mention some request at least?

Swallowing hard, Shopkeeper Wu struggled with his emotions as he looked at the box, filled with both yearning and fear: "Does Lady Wang have any requests? If you hand over the formulas to us, as long as they aren’t excessive, the Lee Family will meet them!"

This was definite!

Wang Yongzhu smiled and shook her head: "I don’t need anything! Just continue giving me annual dividends, that’s enough! We’ve known each other for a long time, let’s be straightforward! I don’t plan to dye fabric anymore, so these dye formulas are useless to me. Giving them to someone is still giving them away, why not give them to you since we’ve got a connection?"

Shopkeeper Wu still couldn’t believe that such a fool existed who wouldn’t want this easily obtainable profit.

Especially Wang Yongzhu, who was not such a fool!

But the box was right there, Shopkeeper Wu clutched his faltering conscience, bit his teeth, and asked again: "If Lady Wang has any difficulties, just tell me! Our friendship means I’ll lend a hand without hesitation! Even if it’s something challenging that I can’t handle, we still have our Ninth Young Master."

"Furthermore, no offense Lady Wang, if you want nothing, I won’t dare to accept this box!" Shopkeeper Wu stated solemnly, as there are no free lunches in this world.

Wang Yongzhu, cornered by questions, could only say: "Since Shopkeeper Wu insists, then forget it. I’ll take the box back! Send a letter to your Ninth Young Master and see what he says. If he wants it, tell me, and I’ll save the box for him."

Saying so, she got up to leave: "The matter is settled, I’ll be going now!" She deftly grabbed the box and supported Old Granny Zhang as they walked away.

It took a while for Shopkeeper Wu to react. He looked at the two pieces of fabric on the ground, slapped himself hard, and then shouted loudly: "Prepare the carriage—"

A shop assistant answered from outside, soon coming to invite Shopkeeper Wu onto the carriage.

Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and headed to a large mansion on the outskirts of the city.

That was Ninth Master Lee’s temporary residence. Staying in inns was inconvenient, and Ninth Master Lee was not one to compromise, so he bought a large mansion, where he settled temporarily.

The people serving in this mansion, those closest were Lee Family’s own household members, while those cleaning and in less important positions were handpicked by Shopkeeper Wu. Seeing him arrive, someone immediately reported to the interior.

Soon, someone came to summon Shopkeeper Wu inside.

Shopkeeper Wu entered the main room, where Ninth Master Lee was lounging on a couch, holding a scroll, his eyes not lifting once.

Upon hearing the sound, he nonchalantly said: "What happened?"

Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly stepped forward, first taking out the two pieces of fabric from his pocket and presenting them on the table: "These two colors are newly dyed by Lady Wang, Ninth Young Master, please look."

Ninth Master Lee reluctantly lifted his eyes, momentarily distracted by the dazzling fabrics.

Not to mention anything else, that peacock green glittered like it was glowing, instantly catching his gaze.

Seeing almost all the colors in the world, Ninth Master Lee was briefly disoriented before regaining his composure, looking at the warm and cool colored fabrics, both unprecedented.

Hearing it was Wang Yongzhu’s work again, a complex emotion flickered in Ninth Master Lee’s eyes. He touched the fabrics with his fingers and said: "Starting today, immediately begin dyeing fabrics in these two colors. I just acquired a batch of Songjiang Cloth, the finest and softest, costing more than some silks! Produce this batch of Songjiang Cloth speedily and send it to the Capital City."

Not just the palace ladies, even Ninth Master Lee, well-versed in many things, found the colors appealing. These two shades would surely be highly welcomed in the palace.

"Ninth Young Master, um... Lady Wang took the formulas with her..." Shopkeeper Wu hesitated.

Ninth Master Lee’s feelings were indescribable. He asked: "Why? Is she asking for a higher price?"

Shopkeeper Wu quickly shook his head, explained Wang Yongzhu’s earlier actions, and said: "I was worried about being tricked, and if she made any demands we couldn’t meet, it would be troublesome..."

Ninth Master Lee glared fiercely at Shopkeeper Wu: "Fool! You wasted such a great opportunity!"
