Zhu Xiuxiu explained, "That refers to the assets you’ll bring to your husband’s family when you marry, like manors, shops, money, maids, servants, and such." The little girl asked again, "What does ’being spoken for by a family’ mean?" "It means that when you grow up and it’s time to get married, your Third Aunt will find the most handsome man in the world to be your husband!" "The most handsome man in the world, huh? Suisui has seen the world’s most beautiful lady. As for this ’most handsome man,’ from what Suisui has seen, it can only be my Imperial Father. Third Aunt, is there any man out there more handsome than my Imperial Father?" Good heavens! Zhu Xiuxiu could hardly believe what she was hearing. The little girl’s logic was actually quite clear! Look at her, saying all that without even catching her breath. To think, when she first arrived at the Ji Family residence, she spoke so timidly, always seeming so afraid of people! But now, she spoke without hesitation, and with such reason and clarity. "When you meet your Third Uncle Ji, you’ll know what a truly handsome man is." Zhu Xiuxiu held her hand and walked on. Soon, they arrived at a Pharmacy with a banner that read ’Shunhe’. This Pharmacy had its grand opening today, and medicines were half price. Zhu Xiuxiu glanced at the discreet mark next to the words ’Shunhe’ on the banner, confirming it was the little girl’s property, and led her inside. From behind them came sounds of scolding and yelling. "Make way! Make way! We are from the Li Family of the Capital City. The rest of you, step aside!" Upon hearing the words ’Li Family of the Capital City,’ Zhu Xiuxiu stopped in her tracks, and she and Xiaosuisui stood rooted to the spot. In the distance, a little girl’s anxious cry was heard, "Father! Please bear with it a bit longer. We’re almost at the Pharmacy; they have a very skilled Doctor here!" "Huh! Why does it sound like I heard Yanyan’s voice?" Xiaosuisui muttered to herself, puzzled. Zhu Xiuxiu quickly picked her up and put a face veil on her. A few men who looked like servants appeared, carrying a middle-aged man on a wooden plank, rushing towards the Shunhe Pharmacy. "Doctor, Doctor! Quick, come and see what’s wrong with our Head Shopkeeper’s leg!" After they set down the wooden plank, an old, bearded Doctor in the Pharmacy quickly came over to examine the so-called Head Shopkeeper. "My! What happened to this leg? It doesn’t look like an external injury." The one urgently calling for the Doctor was a young Xiao Er from the Fuman Building in Baiyun Town. Old Li had recently been promoted to Head Shopkeeper by the owner and was due to go to the Capital City. Then, a Steward from the Li Family’s main household in the Capital City arrived to escort his family there. Therefore, this Xiao Er had been chosen by Old Li to accompany him to the Capital City. "To be honest, Doctor, we don’t know what’s wrong with our Head Shopkeeper’s leg. It started to swell about half a month ago. At first, it wasn’t painful or itchy, just a little swollen around the ankle. Later, the swelling slowly spread up to his thigh, and today, it started to become unbearably painful." "Have you consulted any other Doctors?" The old Doctor frowned, his brow furrowed. The Xiao Er replied, "We have, but none of them could tell us what was wrong." "Doctor, please, I beg you, save my father! We just entered the city and heard that the Doctors at your Pharmacy trained at the Medicine King Residence. Their medical skills are superb; surely they can save my father!" The old Doctor turned to look at the pleading girl. She looked bright and young, and possessed an Innocent Heart.
