“If I’d known, I would have come to pick earlier.” Xie Ying muttered, then still picked the heaviest and lightest from the remaining blind boxes.
As for the principle, Xie Ying didn’t know, it was all metaphysics.
“Shopkeeper, I’ll buy one too.” Wei Ruo took out her silver, gave it to the shopkeeper, then picked up the nearest box.
Seeing this, Xie Ying leaned into Wei Ruo’s ear and whispered, “Each of us can buy two, take one more to stand a better chance. If you don’t have enough silver, I’ll cover you, don’t worry. Aren’t we going to collaborate in herb farming? I will just cut from your earning.”
Wei Ruo felt Xie Ying’s goodwill. She specifically whispered to her, probably out of fear she would be embarrassed to accept.
“No need, it’s fine, it’s not that I don’t have enough money, but solely because I don’t want to buy two.” Wei Ruo explained.
Xie Ying: “Really?”
Wei Ruo: “Really!”
Xie Ying: “Well, okay then.”
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying paid for the blind boxes, and the shopkeeper took out his register to record their names.
Wei Ruo wrote down her elder brother Wei Jinyi’s name while Xie Ying wrote her elder brother Xie Jue’s name.
After purchasing the items, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying headed west to the city, where there was a separate courtyard of the Xie Family. The yard was beautifully landscaped, with pavilions, towers, artificial hills and ponds.
In Xingshan County, the Xie Family’s compound was definitely among the top-ranked.
The two of them first took a carriage ride for a distance. Upon nearing their destination, Xie Ying suggested that they take a walk to the courtyard, as the scenery along the way was quite good.
Wei Ruo agreed, and she happened to see some Motherwort by the roadside that she planned to pick.
Seeing Wei Ruo plucking while walking, Xie Ying asked what it was.
“This is Motherwort, it helps women a lot. Since they are not being picked here, presumably because they can’t recognize it.” Wei Ruo explained.
Most ordinary people had limited knowledge of herbs, and often overlooked them as ordinary grass.
“Motherwort? What is good for women?” Xie Ying asked further.
“It is…” Wei Ruo was a bit embarrassed, because they had two guards following them a few steps behind.
She leaned into Xie Ying’s ear, and whispered softly, “It helps women with menstrual irregularities and menstrual pain.”
Xie Ying’s face turned red instantly.
“How… How do you know about this…”
“I’m going to grow herbs, so naturally, I need to know the uses and characteristics of each of them.”
“That makes sense. But how much do you know about that matter?” Xie Ying asked curiously.
Xie Ying was the same age as Wei Ruo, both thirteen, and not far from the coming-of-age ceremony. Her mother had already mentioned some things to her, all vaguely, and she was still very confused.
“I probably… know everything. I’ve lived twice, plus studied medicine, it’s hard not to know.”
“Is it very scary?”
“No, you don’t have to worry about it. As long as you take good care of your body, there won’t be any problems. When the time comes, you just let me know, and I’ll teach you how to make easy-to-use menstrual belts.” Wei Ruo said.
“You… How could you say such a thing?”
