She was anxious about the pills the Old Monk had mentioned, unsure whether he had finished making them or not.
Monkey Sister saw Qian Yixiu leaving and hurriedly followed her out.
The Little Monk handed Qian Yixiu a small wooden box, saying, "Master asked me to give this to you. He said it must be well preserved and must not be taken in advance."
Qian Yixiu smiled as she took the wooden box and opened it to look inside. There were two pills wrapped in oil paper, their floral scent wafting out.
Qian Yeejin also came to the front courtyard and asked, "What kind of pills are these? They smell really nice."
Qian Yixiu replied, "This is medicine that the master made up for mother, but now is not the time to take it. We'll listen to when the master or Old Master Zhang says to take it."
She then probed the Little Monk, "How come your Senior Liang didn't come to play at our house with you? Has he already returned to the Capital City?"
