Liu Mingxin’s meaning was actually very simple. She was telling Ye Shaohua that she and Ye Shaohua were separated by several thousand years of culture.
If this mocking remark had been said to anyone else, they would have been so embarrassed by Liu Mingxin’s words that they would have wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
However, there was not the slightest ripple on Ye Shaohua’s face, as if she had not heard what Liu Mingxin was saying at all.
Liu Mingxin only ended up embarrassing herself.
After leaving Ye’s Medical Hall, her expression was naturally not very good. “I’ll go back and keep an eye on the people making more bandages.”
Ye’s Medical Hall wanted to sell wound medicine?
Well, then they would just have to see whether they could actually sell it under the pressure of Huichun Hall.
Liu Mingxin naturally had her own source of pride. After all, modern times were several thousand years more advanced than this ancient era. Everything that had survived was the best way of living, and those medicines were the essence obtained only after thousands of years of development.
But making bandages in ancient times cost too much. First of all, there was no suitable glue or waterproof fabric.
These things that were as easy as turning over one’s hand in modern times were extremely difficult in ancient times. Liu Mingxin had not professionally studied chemistry either, so she did not know exactly how medical glue was refined and needed to find substitutes.
On top of that, with other funds for researching medicinal materials, although her bandages were very novel, they were also very expensive.
Later, Liu Mingxin felt that this was too far beyond modern times. Liu Mingxin felt that she needed to keep a lower profile and could not expose the fact that she came from another world.
This was also the reason why Huichun Hall was not making this now.
But now, because of Ye Shaohua, Liu Mingxin decided she would no longer keep a low profile.
Ye Shaohua saying she wanted to reopen Ye’s Medical Hall was not a joke either.
It was only the first day, and apart from people who came to watch the excitement, there was basically no one else at Ye’s Medical Hall.
When she went out, the group of people who had originally been watching the excitement not far away scattered in a rush, as if she were some kind of plague, wishing they could stay far away.
Even though she had expected this, seeing their expressions still made Ye Shaohua sigh. The current situation of the Ye family was indeed bad. Everyone in Jiangnan knew that Ye’s father had been beheaded by the emperor, and no one dared to get close to the Ye family.
But it did not matter. She would definitely properly inherit the Ye family medical hall and let these people know just how astonishing the Ye family’s medical skills really were.
“Dongxue, watch the house well.” Ye Shaohua said to Dongxue.
Dongxue thought the young lady had been angered by Liu Mingxin and had gone out to relax. “Young lady, where are you going?”
Ye Shaohua smiled. “Your young lady is going out for a stroll.”
What she said was the truth, but it was not to relax as Dongxue thought. Rather, she was going out to deal with a few people.
By the time Chu Yunmo and Sima Mingchen appeared, Dongxue told them that Ye Shaohua was not at Ye’s Medical Hall.
The two waited all night, and Ye Shaohua still had not returned, so they had no choice but to leave. This made Sima Mingchen increasingly feel that Ye Shaohua was a fraud.
However, because of Chu Yunmo, he did not dare say it out loud.
Ye Shaohua did not return until the evening of the next day. If she had not sent someone back with a message halfway through, Dongxue would have almost gone out to look for her.
“Young lady, where did you go?” When Dongxue saw Ye Shaohua, she checked her up and down and, after finding no injuries and that her clothes were also fine, finally let out a sigh of relief.
She also warned Ye Shaohua not to go out alone for so long in the future.
Ye Shaohua pinched her fingers and said lightly, “It’s nothing much. I just took in a few underlings.”
“Took in a few underlings?” Although Dongxue did not know what underlings meant, she could grasp a bit of it. It probably meant servants, right?
“Bring them back to the medical hall another day.” Dongxue said.
Ye Shaohua raised an eyebrow. “Sure.”
Dongxue naturally did not know that the few underlings Ye Shaohua said she had casually taken in were actually a force that everyone in the martial world feared.
She only looked at Ye Shaohua strangely… and she did not know whether it was an illusion, but she smelled a faint, barely there scent of blood on the young lady. Dongxue was not unfamiliar with this kind of bloody smell.
But she had already checked Ye Shaohua’s body and found no wounds at all.
Could it be an illusion?
Dongxue glanced at Ye Shaohua. The young lady was still the young lady.
Besides, the young lady had grown up with her. Did she not know what kind of person she was? She did not even dare to kill a chicken.
This bloody smell should just be an illusion.
Thinking of this, Dongxue did not continue speaking about it. Instead, she brought up matters about Chu Yunmo and Liu Mingxin.
“You don’t need to worry about Chu Yunmo. I’ve already sent someone to notify him and told him to come back the day after tomorrow.” Ye Shaohua said as she went with Dongxue to boil water and prepare for a bath.
That Young Master Chu and the other one walked with very unsteady steps. At a glance, they were people of deep internal strength who traveled the martial world.
Such people had erratic whereabouts. Ordinary people simply would not know where they were, and he had not left an address either. How could an ordinary person possibly notify him?
But Dongxue glanced at Ye Shaohua and did not tell her this fact, feeling that she should not crush her own young lady’s confidence.
As soon as the bandages from Liu family’s medical hall came out, they were extremely popular. The line of people排队 almost reached the end of the street. Compared with Ye family’s medical hall, it was simply a stark contrast.
Because the rumors were so fantastical, Dongxue had someone go to Huichun Hall to buy one bandage.
“Young lady, look, this is it. One piece can only be used once, and it still costs 200 copper coins,” Dongxue took out the bandage and showed it to Ye Shaohua. “But it really is amazing. This oilcloth can waterproof, except the shelf life is not long.”
Although Dongxue did not like Liu Mingxin, she admitted that her intelligence was a blessing.
Even this kind of new thing could be thought up. “Young lady, although that person surnamed Liu is not great as a person, her brain really is good. Now we have met our match. With their bandages around, our wound medicine will be very hard to sell.”
Ye Shaohua took the bandage from Dongxue’s hand and looked at it, then casually tossed it onto the table. “Very impressive?”
“Huh?” Dongxue had not expected to still see a disapproving expression on her own young lady’s face.
“The imitation is not bad, but she probably did not study chemistry well. This glue actually uses refined glutinous rice paste. Not only is the stickiness not great, it also easily breeds bacteria,” Ye Shaohua said in a carefree manner while scooping water into the pot. “You need to use animal glue and fatty acid salts that can merge together to produce medical gel. This kind of glue is much better than this glutinous rice glue. As for the thing I used last time to stick paper-cut decorations for you in your room, even if improved, it still cannot be used here.”
