After making the deal with Old Master Gu, Lin Qiu'er originally thought that they would soon set off for the Imperial City. However, she was told that before they left Lingao County, the Gu Mansion would hold Gu Anqing's coming-of-age ceremony.

This was really beyond her expectations.

Since there was still some time before departure, Lin Qiuer stayed up all night to sort out the plan for opening a herbal medicine shop. She listed everything in detail, from the location and decoration style of the shop to the uniform work clothes of the staff, to the pricing and promotion strategy of the herbal medicine.

At daybreak, she borrowed Changqing from Gu Anqing, and, along with a few capable assistants from Nalan Village, rushed to the pawnshop to find a pawnbroker to look after the shop.

After some selection, they finally found a store on Qingyang Street that was a little remote but in a decent location.

Lin Qiu'er was originally planning to continue looking at the house with great interest, but unexpectedly Chang Qing suddenly spoke out to stop her, which made her feel a little surprised.

"Changqing, why don't you let me see the house?" Lin Qiuer frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

She remembered that some time ago, she had mentioned to Changqing that she wanted to buy a house in the county town in order to find a stable place for her clansmen to settle down.

Seeing Lin Qiu'er's unhappy expression, Chang Qing hurriedly explained,

"Miss Lin, don't get me wrong. In fact, the young master has already bought a house two streets away from our house. I know you like quietness, so I chose a house at the end of the street."

After hearing this explanation, Lin Qiuer's mood immediately improved a lot.

She nodded with satisfaction, thinking, "He still has some conscience."

Thinking back on how she first saved Gu Anqing's life, and then worked hard for the Gu family's affairs, killing people and looking for evidence, she felt that she had the right to take the house.

Now that the matter of the house had been settled, Lin Qiuer felt relieved.

She immediately asked the dental office to introduce a few carpenters to make some necessary changes to the store.

That afternoon, the carpenters came to the shop. Lin Qiuer took them to check the places that needed changes one by one and explained her requirements in detail.

She did not intend to make the store's decoration too luxurious, but rather to create a simple and comfortable feeling.

As long as the medicinal food is effective, there is no need to worry about the store being located in a remote location, or people disliking your rough decoration.

Leaving Lin Nanyue in the shop to watch the carpenters renovate the shop, Lin Qiuer took Lin Nanyue and Lin Xiaji to the blacksmith shop.

She had previously confiscated the swords of the Third Prince's subordinates and had them sent to the blacksmith's shop yesterday, intending to exchange them for a few weapons of a weight suitable for the people of Nalan Village.

"Miss Lin, you are here."

As soon as Lin Qiu'er and the other two walked into the blacksmith's shop, the owner spotted her at a glance and ran over to greet her.

After all, there are very few people who can afford to buy weapons for two thousand two hundred taels of silver at once.

Moreover, yesterday the Gu family sent a cart of high-quality long swords, saying that they wanted to exchange them for weapons of sufficient weight. This is simply a good business that comes right to their doorstep.

Seeing the shopkeeper's expression as if he had found money, Lin Qiuer knew that the long sword delivered yesterday must be of good quality, so she said,

"Boss, can you speed up the process of buying the spear and sword I ordered? I'm going on a long journey soon."

"Miss Lin, please don't make fun of me right away. The two weapons you want are not light, and the time required to forge them cannot be easily changed.

If the quality of the weapons is affected by reducing the time, it will really ruin our blacksmith shop's reputation." The shopkeeper refused.

Lin Qiuer was a little disappointed after hearing what he said. She originally thought she could get the weapons in advance.

However, she also understood that a good weapon requires a fixed amount of time to forge, and shortening the time easily would only reduce the quality.

I had no choice but to say, "In that case, let's proceed as planned. But please try to speed up the process."

Lin Qiuer didn't want to spend a lot of money to buy a defective product, so she had to give up the idea.

She pointed at Lin Nanyue and Lin Xiajiu beside her and said to the shopkeeper,

"I came here this time to pick out a weapon for my uncle and brother. Take the long sword I sent yesterday as a discount. If it's not enough, I'll give you more silver."

When the shopkeeper heard that there was more business coming, the smile on his face became as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.

He led Lin Xia Ji and Lin Nan Yue around the blacksmith shop with brisk steps, and let them try out various weapons one by one.

In the end, Lin Xiajiu chose an axe, and Lin Nanyue chose a hammer.

The hammer looked quite powerful, but it was a bit similar to the legendary Thunder Hammer.

Looking at Lin Nanyue gesturing with the hammer in her hand, Lin Qiuer always felt it was a little funny, as if she saw the god of thunder descending to earth.

The two weapons were finally exchanged for ten long swords. Judging from the shopkeeper's smiling face, the blacksmith shop must have made a lot of money from this business.

However, those swords were picked up for free, so Lin Qiuer didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

I thought to myself: There are still more than twenty swords left, I can exchange for a few more weapons next time.

After Lin Qiu'er and the other two returned to the Gu Mansion, Chang Qing took her to see Gu Anqing to inquire about the matters concerning the house.

Lin Nanyue excitedly followed Lin Xiatian to the courtyard where the people from Nalan Village were staying, and couldn't wait to show them her new hammer.

In the courtyard, the tribesmen of Nalan Village were sitting around chatting animatedly. Seeing Lin Nanyue and Lin Xiaji coming back, everyone cast curious glances at them.

Lin Nanyue proudly raised the hammer in his hand, with a proud smile on his face. He soon discovered that his precious hammer had caused a "commotion" among the tribesmen.

Each man scrambled to grab the hammer, boasting about his ability, and there were dull thumps on the floor.

"That's enough! This is the Gu Residence, not the Nalan Village. If you guys mess around like this and damage the floor, Qiu'er will be in trouble."

Lin Xiatian felt a headache when he saw the noisy tribesmen. He decided to go to Lin Qiuer and ask her to arrange some work for the tribesmen as soon as possible to prevent them from causing trouble.

Outside Gu Anqing's study, Chang Qing took Lin Qiuer and walked straight in without being asked to leave.

As soon as she entered the door, she was stunned.

In the study, Gu Anqing and Shen Xiangming from the Inspectorate were sitting opposite each other, both of them looking through the account books carefully.

"Master, Miss Lin is here." Chang Qing reminded softly.

This reminder not only brought Gu Anqing back to his senses, but also made Shen Xiangming, who was sitting with his back to the door, turn around. He looked at Lin Qiuer with a meaningful smile on his face.

"What wind brings Lord Shen from the Inspectorate here?" Lin Qiuer looked at Shen Xiangming with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

She didn't have a good impression of the Inspectorate, so her words couldn't help but carry a hint of sarcasm.

Gu Anqing put down the account book in his hand, leaned back, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He quietly watched the "confrontation" between Lin Qiu'er and Shen Xiangming, but in his heart he secretly agreed with Miss Qiu'er's words.

As the young master of the Gu family, he couldn't lose his manners and scold Shen Xiangming, but Miss Qiu'er's words always expressed his thoughts just right.
