Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

The expected day

Wu Li Mei had been very busy since morning. Even when the sun had not yet appeared, the concubine was so busy arranging the many herbal remedies that had just come last night. The Suo brothers helped him deftly, with Zhou Ming Hao and Zhou Fang Yin participating. They clearly did not want to miss the most thrilling and eagerly awaited moment by everyone, the opening of Madam Wu's medicinal shop.

Yes, the Suo brothers added the word 'Mrs Wu' on the shop signboard. Originally, it was only a drug store, and without a name. But, the two brothers took the initiative and insisted on pinning Wu Li Mei's first name on the concubine's drug store. Even if they did not know, who Wu Li Mei really was.

"Madam, does this herb also have to be packed?" meng Suo asked, opening a large sack filled with herbs with a pungent smell. The young man covered his nose with his index finger to ward off the smell, which sometimes made him dizzy.

Wu Li Mei shook her head, to be honest he had yet to know the benefits of the herbs appointed by Meng Suo. After all, there was already a lot of medicine that he prepared, and that was enough in the next few months. Diseases that are common in the community will not be far from coughs, flu, headaches, and stomachaches. To that end, Wu Li Mei prepared the most common medicines to be in the pharmacy.

"Save it first, Xiao Meng." said Wu Li Mei, "I think the medicine we prepared is more than enough."

"All right, Madam."

Meng Suo, aided by her sister, moved the sack containing herbs into a room that specialized in storing herbs and medicinal stock. It was next to the main room, a small, dry and clean room. Wu Li Mei deliberately created the room that was devoted to storing spare herbs.

"Do I have to wear a veil?" zhou Fang Yin asked himself, the girl stared at the bustling surroundings. The sun had just appeared, and the bustle of the market began.

"For what?" zhou Ming Hao asked, busy arranging the store signboard, the crown prince could still hear his sister muttering.

Fang Yin slightly glanced, "To cover my face of course!"

"What's wrong with your face?"

"My face is too conspicuous, I'm afraid that someone will recognize me as the crown princess. How about if mom's disguise is exposed because of my pretty face, I will........ "

Zhou Ming Hao rotated his eyeballs, he crossed his arms with a small sigh. Hearing the babble from the sister made her ears buzz.

"Blaaa.. blaaaa...blaaaa!"

Zhou Ming Hao passed by leaving the younger brother annoyed with his behavior. Like that brother, often quarrel but still love each other.

...****************...

The sun was rising, the perfect time for the opening of the drugstore. Coupled with a market that began to be crowded with people from all over the country.

Wu Li Mei was prepared, the beautiful woman was simple-looking like an ordinary noble. Standing enthusiastically outside the store with her two children. His palm was already sweating coldly from the sudden nervousness whack, oh, come on, he wasn't even this big when he first led the operation.

"Is it ready?" Wu Li Mei stopped Lan Suo's footsteps who was about to open the store, "I mean, is everything really ready?"

Lan Suo chuckled, then nodded confidently. "Already, Mistress. Trust me, it's all going well."

"You sure?" Wu Li Mei frowned, "I think there's still something to prepare."

"This is more than enough, Madam." replied Lan Suo. "Herba can be damaged if left too long."

"All right."

Wu Li Mei gradually retreated as the shop door opened and the signpost was raised, specially for this opening. Wu Li Mei hired one of the most famous hosts on the market, to host the event.

"Calm down, mom." Zhou Fang Yin clasped the mother's delicate hand, trying to channel the calmness within. Because the mother walked around making him dizzy.

Wu Li Mei must have been the most nervous at the moment. He had prepared everything, from the beginning to the extent. His grand plan must not simply fail, or his arrival in this strange land will be even more futile.

The pharmacy is certainly the most reasonable thing for now, because he does not have to jump directly into it considering he is now a great concubine. At the very least, he can still serve for the world of health, like his vow when he became a doctor first, in this way. In fact, this greedy concubine had more than enough money to build a magnificent and luxurious hospital. But because of limitations in many ways, the woman started small first. Building an apothecary, just like the dream he told Jessica.

The buying and selling activity paused for a moment, hearing the thunderous voice of the host. Wu Li Mei felt proud, he did not choose the wrong person.

"ON THIS LUCKY DAY, REPRESENTING LADY WU. THE OPENING OF MADAM WU'S MEDICINAL SHOP, HAS BEEN OPENED WITH JOY!"

Silence, everyone was confused as to what kind of response. A drugstore, in fact, is still very strange to hear

An old man with a peasant hat raised his hand. On the sidelines of the crowd, the short-growing man was barely visible.

"What do you mean drug store?"

The host looked at Wu Li Mei for a moment, as the concubine nodded and she began to answer.

"The drug store is the place to buy medicine when you're sick, brother! Here there are many herbal remedies with various benefits, this will make you recover quickly."

"But, we can go to the shaman alone." said another.

"After all, if it's just herbs, we can pick them in the fields. Right, right?"

"Does this medicine really cure?"

"What a weird thing, I just heard this for the first time."

"What's he saying, drug store? Ah, that's right."

Some people choose indifference, returning to doing activities that had been delayed. A few more, still cool whispering and discussing about the store.

The host stared at Wu Li Mei anxiously, the crowd he managed to gather slowly separating themselves.

Seeing the noise that many people made made Wu Li Mei growled, the beautiful woman stepped closer to the host. The truth was that his efforts had to fail just because the public was still layman with the drugstore, no, Wu Li Mei could not stay silent.

Wu Li Mei stepped gracefully, her hands clenched behind the blue hanfu arm she was wearing. Furious himself saw people underestimate his drug store. Look, this is going to be new history. In the modern era, drugstores and hospitals are the most important facilities.

Some people looked at him questioningly, "Who is that?"

"Hey! Look, who is he?"

"Let's know, maybe he's the owner of the store."

"You sure?"

"Maybe not."

"Who is he?"

"What did he do?"

Wu Li Mei swept her gaze at the remaining crowd slightly, smiling sweetly from behind her veil. "I am Mrs Wu."

"I'll answer all of you're questions." Wu Li Mei said calmly.
