Chapter 473 The Tragic Death of a Concubine 6
Ning Yan came out of the kitchen and headed straight for the small door with her bag on her back.

After leaving Ji's house, Ning Yan booked a room in the inn. After dressing up again in a way that even she herself didn't recognize, she quickly went to look for someone near the land temple.

You can find it right away.

The old Taoist was basking in the sun at the time, and was a little stunned when he saw Ning Yan, because Ning Yan's dress this time was very different from last time, and he didn't recognize her for a moment.

But when Ning Yan stretched out her hand to him, he immediately recognized it, "It's you, I remember now.

Wait a minute, I'll give you the silver."

Two thousand taels! He would be heartbroken if he had to give away half of it.

Ning Yan: "Hurry up! There's no point in dawdling. Madam Ji is pregnant now. If you want to make more money, just give me the money!"

Taoist priest: "Don't rush me, I'm just giving it to you now. By the way, is Madam Ji really pregnant?"

Ning Yan: "How can I lie to you? Just wait, it won't be long before the news that Madam Ji is pregnant will spread."

Although the news was kept secret, the second wife's pregnancy was a happy event and could not be hidden for long.

The old Taoist then took out a few silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Ning Yan reluctantly.

Ning Yan counted it and found it was exactly one thousand taels, not a penny more or less.

"Come on, take me to where you live."

"Go to my place? What do you want to do?"

"What else can you do? Do you want to wait for business to come and make pills?"

The old Taoist was anxious now, "That can't happen! Then should we buy the herbs together?"

Ning Yan: "Sure, go buy it."

Old Taoist: ...You want him to pay for it again?

"Each of us will share half of the profit, so the cost should also be shared half by each of us!"

Ning Yan wanted to curse, "If I don't come, you won't make a penny! Otherwise, I'll find someone else to cooperate with!"

Old Daoist:  …

The old Taoist priest obediently went to the pharmacy reluctantly, bought a large bag of medicine according to the prescription given by Ning Yan, and returned to his residence.

This person is not a real Taoist priest, but he really lives in a Taoist temple, but the temple is a bit dilapidated.

Ning Yan picked up her luggage and came to the Taoist temple where the old Taoist lived.

"I will live here from now on. The room on the right belongs to me."

The old Taoist didn't care. If he had nowhere else to go, no one would live in this shabby house. If she wanted to live there, she could just fix it up herself.

Ning Yan then said, "Help me fix the roof this afternoon."

Old Daoist:  …

The old Taoist priest can lie, predict good and bad days, take a pulse and prescribe medicine pills, but he really can’t repair a house.

He had no choice but to hire someone from a nearby village to clean up the house, replace the tiles on the roof, and even bring back the bed from a carpenter in the village.

Ning Yan picked and chose, and had no choice but to ask the carpenter to make her a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a desk...

It took me five or six days to finally get Ning Yan to give the answer she wanted.

Later, he gritted his teeth and thought, he now had money, so why should he suffer any hardship? He simply took out a hundred taels and renovated the entire Taoist temple.

After all this trouble, more than a month has passed.

The Taoist temple was completely renovated, and he only had more than 600 taels left out of the 1,000 taels in his hand. He had no idea how he spent all the money!

The news that Mrs. Ji Er in the city, who had been infertile for many years, became pregnant after taking a pill had already spread.

……

The second branch of the Ji family.

The second lady looked at the stack of notes handed to her.

"Madam, these posts are all invitations to you for tea, would you like to see them?"

The second wife looked worried. "They all came here for my secret recipe for having a child. However, the old Taoist hasn't been seen for more than a month. What's the point of me going there?"

Aunt Wu was also worried: "If I had known earlier, I would have asked where the Taoist lived."

At this time, a maid hurried in, "Madam, there is news, the old Taoist finally showed up."

"Quick, please invite the person in."

"I can't invite you. He was intercepted by people from the Minister of Rites' Mansion!" Second Lady:!

No one knew who told others that she had bought the fertility medicine from the Taoist priest.

Shangshu Mansion, if I could establish a relationship with Shangshu Mansion...

"Go! Keep an eye outside the Shangshu Mansion. When the Taoist priest comes out of the Shangshu Mansion, invite him to come back to the mansion immediately."

The maid quickly took the order and left.

……

The old Taoist priest brought his new disciple to the backyard and was invited by the people from the Shangshu Mansion.

The Shangshu’s wife is already 36 years old this year, so naturally she doesn’t need to buy fertility medicine anymore.

Two years ago, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion was framed and fell into icy water. After being rescued, she was injured. Several famous doctors examined her pulse and said that it would be difficult for her to have children. Of course, this matter was kept secret.

Last year, the eldest daughter married the second young master of Wuyang Marquis Mansion, who had been engaged to her since childhood, but she has not been able to get pregnant for more than a year.

Upon learning that the second wife of the Ji family had successfully become pregnant after taking the Taoist's medicine, the Shangshu's wife became interested.

Therefore, the Shangshu's wife sent people to look for a Taoist priest everywhere in the city. After searching for more than half a month, they actually found the old Taoist priest who had just renovated a Taoist temple and was making money.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

The old Taoist bowed to the Shangshu’s wife.

"You are so polite, Taoist priest. I asked you to come here today because I want you to check my daughter's pulse."

The eldest lady also bowed to the Taoist priest.

The old Taoist pretended to look at the young lady's expression.

"Disciple, please help Madam take her pulse first.

Ladies, rest assured, my disciple has learned all the true teachings of this way. There are differences between men and women, and it is more convenient for me as a woman."

The Shangshu's wife glanced at her daughter and did not refuse.

Men and women at this time really need to be on guard. After all, it is a matter of fertility, and it is indeed better to have a woman to help.

Ning Yan was just an ordinary-looking woman at this time, wearing Taoist clothes. She asked the young lady to sit down and then came forward to take her pulse.

"The young lady fell into the water and the cold air entered her body, causing her infertility."

The Shangshu's wife asked nervously, "Can it be cured?"

She was asking the Taoist priest.

The old Taoist nodded, "Any other questions?"

Ning Yan: "...except for some poor sleep, nothing else."

The eldest lady also nodded, "I really don't sleep well."

The old Taoist said, "It can be cured. Two pills guarantee pregnancy, but they are expensive."

The Shangshu's wife smiled when she heard this. For a family like theirs, money was the most insignificant problem.

"Fangjin, bring the banknotes."

Soon, two silver notes worth one thousand taels were delivered to the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest also opened the medicine box and picked out two bottles from a pile of medicine bottles and handed them to the Shangshu's wife, "Take the blue bottle today, and the red bottle in seven days.

If madam is worried, you can come back to me in seven days to check on me again. I live in Qingfeng Temple outside the city.

By the way, it’s the same if you ask other doctors to feel your pulse.”

The old Taoist took the banknote and left with his apprentice without staying for long.

Not long after leaving the Shangshu Mansion, the two were stopped by a servant.

"Master, my wife wants to see you."

The old Taoist asked, "Who is your family?"

"Ji Mansion."

The old Taoist glanced at Ning Yan, and when he saw Ning Yan nod, he agreed.

The servant was afraid of being robbed on the way, so he specially drove a carriage out from the mansion, and the old Taoist and Ning Yan were invited to get on the carriage.

The boy was very tactful and sat on the shaft of the cart of his own accord.
