After entering the inner hall and sitting down, Ling Jingyan said curiously: “Ah Shu, I have never seen the name card of His Highness Taisun! Can you show it to me?”

Not only Ling Jingyan but also Madam Sun was a little curious.

Ling Jingshu responded with a smile and handed over the name card.

Ling Jingyan looked over the name card several times and exclaimed: “There is a layer of gold foil on the name card. No wonder it looks shiny.”

A skilled craftsman can create this thin layer of gold foil that stays intact. Peel it off without damage. Although the portion was not large, it was enough for an ordinary family to eat rice for a month.

And this was just the most common name card in the Crown Prince’s house.

Sure enough, this was royal style!

After Ling Jingyan read it, she gave the name card to Madam Sun. Everyone looked at it for a while, and finally returned it to Ling Jingshu’s hands.

Ling Jingshu couldn’t restrain her eagerness and said to Madam Sun, “Dà bómǔ, I want to go to the Huichun Hall tomorrow.”

Madam Sun was taken aback and said, “But tomorrow is only the tenth day, not yet the fifteenth. Doctor Wei won’t be at Huichun Hall, so even if you go, you won’t be able to see anyone from Doctor Wei’s family.”

“I know everything dà bómǔ said.” Ling Jingshu said softly, with a pleading look on her face: “It’s just that I’m not familiar with everything in the capital, especially Huichun Hall. I don’t know where it is or what it looks like. I want to go there before the fifteenth to see the Huichun Hall.”

Ling Jingyan rushed to the side and replied: “Ah Shu, the Huichun Hall is very far away this time. When Imperial Physician Wei founded Huichun Hall, it was not located in the inner city, but in Jiashanfang in the outer city. This Jiashanfang is near Nanshi, and it is very lively with people coming and going. From our Ling family to Jiashanfang, it takes half a day to come and go!”

In other words, if you go to Huichun Hall in the morning, you have to eat out at noon, and you have to come back at least in the afternoon. If a lot of time is spent in the middle, maybe it will be evening…

Ling Jingshu was a little surprised: “Huichun Hall is so far?”

Ling Jingyan nodded repeatedly and said, “Exactly! After Huichun Hall gained such fame, some people suggested that Doctor Wei move the clinic to the inner city, so he wouldn’t need to search for a place. They even had houses prepared. But Doctor Wei paid no attention to these suggestions.”

As the younger brother of Wei Jieyu^[1]a rank of Imperial Concubine, with such remarkable medical skills and the favor of the Emperor, no one dared to press him even if he had a strong temper.

The result was that anyone seeking medical advice could only go to the Huichun Hall in Waiguocheng to wait.

…

Madam Sun hesitated for a moment.

Ling Ji came back today to deliver the famous name card, and he had to return to the Imperial College early tomorrow morning. Not to mention Uncle Ling, who had to go to the Ministry of Works every day to be on duty and had no time at all.

But Ling Jing and her brother were not familiar with the city. She truly couldn’t help but worry about them going out like this…

Ling Jingshu seemed to see Madam Sun’s concerns: “Dà bómǔ, this Luoyang City is at the foot of the Emperor. Now is a prosperous and peaceful time, and there are patrols in every square. A yamen official on the street. And in broad daylight, no one dares to think anything. If we bring more maids and guards, nothing will go wrong. Dà bómǔ, you can rest assured.”

Ling Jingyan’s eyes twinkled as she chimed in, “Ah Shu is right. The public security in the capital is excellent, and even if there are some petty criminals, they wouldn’t dare to act during the day. The bailiffs and constables of the Five City Garrison are not just for show.”

She then added with a sense of camaraderie, puffing up her chest: “Alright! I’ll accompany Ah Shu and Ah Xiao, and Mom should feel more at ease!”

Madam Sun: “…”

Everyone: “… .”

After talking for a long time, the real purpose of feelings was this!

Amused but also giving Ling Jingyan a stern look, she said, “Ah Shu is composed and unflappable; there’s no reason to worry when she goes out. It’s you, always jumping around, not behaving like a proper young lady. With your disposition, you’re likely to get into trouble when you go out.”

“Mom, are you my biological mother? How could you talk about your daughter like that?”

Ling Jingyan retorted with a look of injustice, “In front of outsiders, of course, I have to appear dignified and not tarnish the reputation of our Ling family. But now, with no one around, who am I trying to impress with my pretense?”

… Madam Sun was both angry and amused when she heard this.

Ling Jingshu couldn’t help but raise the corners of her lips.

When she first met Ling Jingyan, it was indeed easy to be struck by her reserved and elegant appearance. They have been together for a long time. Now she knows that it was a mask used by Ling Jingyan to fool people.

The real Ling Jingyan was lively, playful, and cute.

“Mom, I’m begging you, please, just agree!” Ling Jingyan clasped her hands together and pleaded with a pitiful expression. “I promise to be absolutely well-behaved throughout the journey, not getting off the carriage randomly, and certainly not causing any trouble.”

Ling Jingshu secretly laughed.

Originally, Madam Sun was still hesitating about whether she should let her and Ah Xiao go out, but now that Ling Jingyan had caused such a stir, it had changed to whether she should let Ling Jingyan accompany her…

Whether Madam Sun agreed or not, it would be advantageous for her.

Ling Jingshu simply remained silent.

Madam Sun always scolded Ling Jingyan, but she was the one who loved her the most. How could she withstand Ling Jingyan’s insistent pleas? She quickly raised her hands and surrendered: “That’s all, if you want to follow, go ahead!”

Ling Jingyan cheered, grabbed Madam Sun’s hand, and shook it back and forth a few times, her mouth sweet as honey: “Mom, you are so kind!”

Jiang Shi cleared her throat and interjected: “They are both unmarried girls. It is really inconvenient for them to run out like this. It would be better if someone was with them.”

Madam Sun didn’t react for a while: “Ah Ji is going back to the Imperial Academy, where can I find anyone to accompany them?”

Jiang Shi smiled elegantly and calmly: “My daughter-in-law happens to have nothing to do tomorrow, so just go with them.”

Madam Sun: “…”

Ling Jingshu could still hold back, but Ling Jingyan had already burst into laughter: “Sister-in-law, if you want to go out to relax, just say so! You are still beating around the bush.” ​​

Jiang Shi was exposed by Ling Jingyan. Thoughts, his cheeks felt slightly warm, but he didn’t deny it.

The Ling family’s inner house was under the sole control of Madam Sun, and Ling Ji was not in the house on normal days. She spent long days in the deep courtyard of the inner house, which made her feel really depressed. It was a rare opportunity to go out and relax, who wouldn’t be tempted?

Fortunately, Madam Sun was not mean and did not look sullen or sarcastic. She frowned slightly and nodded in agreement: “It’s okay. You are a few years older than Ah Yan and Ah Shu, and your temperament is calmer. If you go with them, I can feel assured when they go out.”

Jiang Shi suppressed the excitement in her heart, stood up, and agreed: “Yes, my daughter-in-law will obey her mother-in-law’s instructions.”

Madam Sun nodded, and the matter was officially settled.

Ling Jingyan was even more enthusiastic than Ling Jingshu and immediately started planning the trip.

First, she asked the coachman to prepare the horses and hitch the carriage, and then she asked the accompanying maids and women to prepare cakes and then went to Madam Sun’s place to grind some money to spend. The most important thing was to find the most beautiful new dresses and jewelry…

She was very busy!

Ling Jingshu: “…”

Who was going to travel?
