79 Learning How To Drive

“Madam, this medicine was specially concocted by me. I only have this bottle with me now, and I still have to use it, so I can’t keep it. Anyway, I’ve been coming here every day these days, so I won’t delay applying the medicine for you. After I’ve concocted another bottle, I’ll leave it for you. ”

This was a free sample in the medical room. If she wanted to make it according to the prescription, she would have to compare the effects, so she would definitely not leave it for the county magistrate’s wife.

“Then what if my wound itches again? If it doesn’t stop the itch, won’t I have to scratch it again? What if I scratch it again?”

Liu Wangshi’s willowy brows also furrowed. She was clearly very dissatisfied with Mo Ruyue’s answer.

!!

“Wife, this medicine is not to make you feel itchy. You should have heard that medicine is 30% poisonous, right? It might make you feel comfortable, but there will be side effects if you use it too much.”

Mo Ruyue’s expression calmed down. It hadn’t even been a day, and this county magistrate’s wife was already starting to be uncooperative. This made her no longer optimistic about the future treatment process.

“Since Lady Qin has said so, what else can I say? If you want to cure your illness, you will have to listen, right?”

Liu Wangshi replied with a smile, but a cold light flashed across her eyes.

Although the scene just now happened quickly, Mo Ruyue had already seen it all. She couldn’t help but secretly sneer in her heart.

Liu Wangshi must have been tormented by her illness for a long time, which was why she was so temperamental. However, she and the magistrate were really not like a family who did not get along well. They were exactly the same in saying one thing and doing another.

“Then, Madam, have a good rest. I’ll continue to treat you tomorrow morning, but you still have to eat three meals a day. Otherwise, the whole treatment process will be very laborious, and it will be difficult to survive without eating.”

“Also, try not to wear clothes for the time being. Just cover it with sackcloth. This will prevent the wound from being rubbed constantly, and it’s also good for cleaning or recovery.”

Mo Ruyue emphasized what she had to say again. She didn’t care that Liu Wangshi’s face had darkened. She put the medicine bottle in her hand into the medicine box and then got up to leave.

After leaving the main house, Mo Ruyue should have gone to greet the county magistrate. However, there happened to be a case being investigated, so Mo Ruyue entrusted his concubine, Mei Xiang, to pass on the message. Then, she left from the back of the residence.

She went straight to the carriage and found Uncle Liu. The two of them then left in the imperial carriage.

It was only after the county magistrate had closed the case that he found out that Mo Ruyue had left. Although he was very unhappy, he could not find any reason to flare up, so he just snorted coldly and ended the matter.

At this time, Mo Ruyue had already returned home. She got out of the car in advance and went to the new house for a walk. The smell in the house was almost gone. She would be able to move in tomorrow. By then, even if she was not at home, she would not have to worry too much.

“But it’s not good to trouble Uncle Liu every day.”

Mo Ruyue’s brows were tightly furrowed. She could learn how to drive the carriage herself, but the animal was not a machine that could be operated however she wanted. Every time this happened, she would especially miss the various electronic devices from her previous life. They were so convenient to use.

As she thought of ways along the way, Mo Ruyue raised her head and found that she had reached Uncle Liu’s house.

“Forget it. Since I’m already here, I’ll have to learn how to drive in the future anyway. It’s better to be quick than early. Let’s do it today.”

Mo Ruyue muttered to herself and immediately knocked on Uncle Liu’s door.

“What? You want to learn how to drive a carriage?”

Uncle Liu had just entered the house not too long ago. After he unloaded the mule cart, he added some fodder and water to the big young mule and the cattle as usual before entering the house to rest. He did not expect that Mo Ruyue would come knocking on his door before he could even finish his bowl of water. She actually still wanted to learn how to drive a carriage.

“Yes, Uncle Liu, I thought that you still have fields to farm at home. I’ll be going to the city every day from now on, and I can’t keep troubling you like this, so I thought it would be better to learn how to drive a carriage as soon as possible.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t like trouble, so she didn’t trouble others either. Although she had paid Uncle Liu to help her drive the carriage and raise the young mule, he had a lot of family matters to do, and he couldn’t just push all of them to Aunt Liu.

“You’re a woman. Why are you learning how to drive a carriage? Is it because I’m not good at driving?”

Uncle Liu’s face darkened. He had clearly misunderstood. Besides, he had never seen a woman driving a carriage on the street. How would that look?

“Uncle Liu, you drive very well, but I can’t keep hiring you to drive. Did I buy my family’s imperial carriage for decoration? I’ll definitely need to use it. ”

Mo Ruyue explained patiently.

So the biggest problem in this world was the restraint on women. If this couldn’t be done and that couldn’t be done, what was wrong with a woman driving a car?

“Husband, Lady Qin’s family doesn’t have a man. She is still young and is a big treasure. You see, it will take a few years for her to grow up to be able to drive a carriage. Lady Qin’s words are also reasonable. If she doesn’t learn to drive the carriage, can she keep looking for you? You should teach her. ”

Aunty Liu listened from the side and also helped Mo Ruyue speak up. After all, women could understand women’s suffering. Without a man in the family, it was indeed difficult to do things everywhere. Otherwise, why would a woman like her need to do everything by herself?

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment. Although he was still a little unwilling, he agreed to Mo Ruyue’s request in the end.

He started teaching from linking the cart and unloading the cart. He explained every step in detail, and every time he finished, Mo Ruyue would take the initiative to ask him to do it.

At first, Uncle Liu was worried that it would be difficult for a woman like her to do all this. He didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to not only do it to the standard, but also to do it with ease.

It was only then that Uncle Liu suddenly remembered that this woman had once entered the mountains alone to hunt a tiger and was unscathed. Indeed, she could not be regarded as an ordinary woman.

After he put away his contemptuous heart, he continued to teach Mo Ruyue in a more equal manner.

“If you want to drive a good car, you have to make the animal respect you and know that you are its master. Only then can it listen to your orders. You also have to be familiar with the structure of the car so that you can control it as easily as your own arm.”

“Judging from your performance just now, you can drive the car well today, but I can’t be at ease to let you drive on your own. I’ll just follow the car for the next few days. When you’re sure that there won’t be any problems, you can finish your apprenticeship. ”

Uncle Liu’s words were completely from the perspective of being responsible for Mo Ruyue, and he didn’t mean to look down on her at all.

Mo Ruyue wouldn’t be arrogant just because she learned things quickly. There was a big difference between a carriage and a car. After all, a car wouldn’t lose its temper, but an animal would.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Uncle Liu for the next few days.”

Mo Ruyue practiced driving a cart at the Liu Family for a while before taking the initiative to help unload the cart. Then, she said goodbye and went home.
