Of course, Aunt Su would not mention any ingredients in front of everyone.

Isn't this a killjoy?

Although Lin Laoer had eaten meals at the farm, it was only for two or three meals. Most of the time, he ate at home.

Aunt Liu was extravagant and spoiled when she was young, but she became thrifty after the family split up. Now she has to think carefully before she even buys a bottle of osmanthus hair oil, not to mention her own food, which is only at the level of a well-off family.

A meal like this that costs fifty taels of wine and food, even Lin Laoer...he has never eaten it, okay!

Of course, both this and that are fine.

As for the two little ones, it is an even more novel and fresh experience.

Although they are the young masters of Duke He's Mansion, unfortunately, they have never eaten in a restaurant outside except on the way to Tongcheng and back!

The meals we had at the inn along the way were actually cooked by our servants using a borrowed stove. You could taste the flavor as soon as you ate it, it was completely different from this time!

Even Hu Ge'er, who usually has a small appetite, couldn't help but eat an extra piece of dessert.

The four of them finished their meal leisurely.

On the way, Lin Laoer went to the toilet. When he was about to come out, he washed his hands with the help of a servant. After washing his hands, he was about to take the towel to wipe them when he saw a fat figure staggering in.

The fat man seemed a little drunk and walked unsteadily, almost bumping into Lin Lao Er.

Lin Laoer frowned and was about to speak, but he found that the fat man looked very familiar!

It turned out that the fat man was none other than Qian Laoliu, the merchant from outside the Great Wall whom he knew well!

Wasn't the small fortune he made last year from the proud Qian Laoliu?

"Mr. Qian Liu?"

Qian Laoliu shook his head and widened his eyes, recognizing Lin Laoer.

"Second Master Lin!"

These two like-minded men kissed each other passionately after recognizing each other!

They bowed and patted each other on the back, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years!

But now is not the time and place to talk.

After exchanging a few quick words and exchanging addresses, the two reluctantly parted.

Lin Lao Er returned to the private room, and left the restaurant with Aunt Su and his two grandsons, and went to another place for a stroll.

Although Lin Laoer didn't show it, Aunt Su had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that Lin Laoer was worried about something!

When they returned to their residence, Aunt Su called Lin Laoer.

"Second brother, after lunch, I saw that you seemed to have something on your mind!"

Lin Laoer spent the whole afternoon pondering over this issue.

Why does Lin Lao Er care so much about a wealthy and powerful sponsor like Qian Liuye?

Of course, I am looking forward to making a few more bucks from this person someday!

But how does he make money?

Don’t we still need those magical medicines in the hands of our stepmother?

As for Mr. Qian Liu, he bought about ten elixirs from him last year. Now that a year has passed, it is estimated that those ten elixirs have been used up long ago.

And that elixir must be very effective.

Otherwise, when Mr. Qian Liu saw him, he would not be as friendly as if he saw his own brother.

She came up to him so attentively and told him her address, and even said she wanted to invite him to her room to play!

But where is the elixir in his hand?

When he went back, he left two or three pills for his family. Knowing that he could exchange them for money, he was reluctant to eat them. Later, he had diarrhea on the road and could not bear it anymore, so he ate one pill.

When they returned to Tongcheng, his aunt had another headache, so he gave her the last painkiller.

After eating it, my aunt felt no pain...

His hands were also completely empty.

How could he have any elixir to sell to Mr. Qian Liu?

I can only talk to my stepmother!

But his stepmother is very powerful now, and he doesn't know whether she will give it to him. Besides, if he asks for it, just like when he hooked up with Bihe and tried to get things from the old lady, what if he angers his stepmother?

Because he was thinking about it in his mind, he inevitably revealed some clues when he was strolling in the afternoon, and his stepmother noticed it first.

Now that his stepmother has asked first, shouldn't he just tell her directly?

Aunt Su actually knew about Lin Lao Er's small fortune a long time ago.

The last time Lin Yanniang returned to Tongcheng, she told her about this.

She was not surprised to hear Lin Lao Er mention the wealthy merchant from outside the Great Wall.

Not only was I not surprised, but I was also moved.

This time when I went to Beijing, I brought Lin Lao Er with me, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

Otherwise, if she wanted to become famous and make a lot of money in the capital, she would have to find ways to create momentum and find people to help her, but her companions were all honest and not resourceful enough.

He is nothing like Lin Laoer, who seems to have two antennas installed on his head, with the function of searching for opportunities.

"Oh? Mr. Qian Liu is still staying in the inn where we stayed last time, and he even asked you out for a drink?"

Hearing Aunt Su's question, Lin Lao Er's eyes turned and he said hurriedly, "Mother, that's right, but son, I will definitely not go to drink wine, I will just go to an ordinary restaurant."

Isn't it true that the key to making fortune lies in the hands of his stepmother? How dare he do things that would displease her?

Oh no, that's not right!

Lin Lao Er hurriedly added, "My son is still in mourning. Even if he goes to a restaurant, he will not eat meat or drink alcohol."

Aunt Su nodded, "Well, when we go out, we don't have to be too strict, but we still have to follow the rules."

In fact, as long as you don't eat meat or drink alcohol under her nose, she doesn't care.

When Lin Lao Er heard that his stepmother had no intention of objecting, he was greatly encouraged.

"Mother, I was short-sighted last time and sold a few pills of the elixir you gave me to Mr. Qian Liu."

"This time, Mr. Qian Liu probably wants to buy a few more elixirs. Mother, I don't know..."

Lin Lao Er was still thinking about what to say when he heard Aunt Su interrupt him, "Lao Er, you know why I came to the capital this time. My retirement farm was occupied, and I missed my aunt, so I had to bring the children to the capital. The prices in the capital are high, and it's not easy to live in a big city. You need money to do anything. I didn't want to sell the few remaining spiritual medicines, but we have to make a living, right?"

The more Lin Laoer listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Judging from the tone of the words, this is possible!

"Yes, yes! Mother is right!"

This time he was working for his stepmother, so if he sold the elixir, his stepmother would definitely give him some benefits...

Aunt Su pondered for twenty breaths.

"Second brother, if Mr. Qian Liu still wants to buy spiritual medicine this time, I have up to 20 spiritual medicines of various kinds that I can sell to him. You can act according to circumstances when the time comes. But remember, he is the one begging us, not us begging him!"

No matter what happens, her character that has been blessed with immortality cannot be destroyed!

Lin Lao Er nodded quickly.

"Mother is right!"

As a young dandy who grew up in a wealthy family, he may not be good at other things, but he is the best at pretending to be important but not letting go of the benefits!

Aunt Su smiled.

"Second brother, I'm naturally at ease with you doing the job."

"If you can exchange some silver this time, then I'll give you 20% as a commission, how about that?"

Since she already has the address of the financier, it is not impossible for Aunt Su to send someone to find Qian Laoliu, skipping the middleman and no one making a profit from the difference.

But if this is the case, wouldn’t the style be lowered?

You can earn less money, but your character must not fail.

She can't afford to lose the big picture for the small!

After Aunt Su said this, Lin Lao Er started to quickly calculate in his mind.

Give him 20%!

The pills weren't his, these two points just fell from the sky.

In fact, he would be happy even if you gave him 10%.

For example, if he earned one thousand taels from that fat... Mr. Qian Liu, then he would have one hundred taels!

He worked very hard to run his small shop, but could only earn a few dozen taels of silver a month!

What’s more, it’s only two hundred taels.

Lin Lao Er naturally smiled and said yes repeatedly.

"Mother, you are so polite. My son just ran an errand, so why should he share the profit?"

Aunt Su laughed and said, "If you send someone to run errands, don't you have to give him some money for tea and food?"

Lin Laoer stroked his chin and laughed.

His stepmother is really generous now. A few hundred taels of silver is just a small amount of money for tea and meals!

No wonder he was willing to spend fifty taels of silver on a meal!

After Lin Lao Er left, Aunt Su paced around the room with her hands behind her back.

Lin Laoer selling medicine outside is one way, but it is far from enough.

She doesn't want to be the God of Medicine!

She was just thinking about it when she heard someone coming to report the news.

"Madam, the eldest lady has sent someone over."

Lin Yanniang sent a maid to accompany her. She was also a servant of the Lin family, so Aunt Su naturally recognized her. She walked in and bowed first, then said with a smile, "Old Madam, our eldest lady ordered me to come here to ask you something. The day after tomorrow is the first day of the lunar year. Many women in the capital often go to the Huangning Temple on Qifeng Mountain to worship together. At this time of year, the scenery of Qifeng Mountain is indeed quite good. The eldest lady wants to accompany the old lady to the Huangning Temple on Qifeng Mountain to worship. What do you think, old Madam?"

After hearing this, Aunt Su started to think about it in her heart.

Yes, in this era, women could only go to various houses to attend banquets, go out to buy jewelry, fabrics, etc., and go out to burn incense and go outings. Otherwise, they could only stay in the backyard.

Aunt Su came from Tongcheng and basically didn’t know anyone in Beijing.

Besides, since I am still in mourning, I cannot visit other people’s homes.

If she wants to increase her popularity, build a persona in the capital, and get to know more aristocratic women, then isn't she only able to go out and worship?

Aunt Su thought about it and said with a smile, "Well, go back and tell the Madam that since the scenery over there is nice, then go and have a look. However, I have already worshipped the Immortal Su, so other gods should not be worshipped lightly. Just go around and take a look."

Aunt Su was an atheist all her life.

It was only after she traveled through time that she underwent a transformation.

But since she claims to the outside world that she has a connection with the immortal, she must not be so messy. If she believes this and that, it will only ruin her image.

For example, in their small group today, there is an old sister who is particularly superstitious and enthusiastic, and always recommends masters to them.

Wasn't Aunt Su bored at that time?

Her life is almost over, so there is nothing to worry about. But she doesn't know what the future will be like for her daughter Heiya!

Especially those online novels written by Hei Ya, we only hear about this great writer and that great writer. When will it be Hei Ya's turn to become a great writer?

If Hei Ya becomes some great god, wouldn’t she be the god’s mother?

She started to think about it.

But who knows!

After she added Weitong, she went to check out the master’s circle of friends recommended to her by her old sister.

Well, in the circle of friends, there are those short articles posted by masters, some of which are chicken soup, some are astrology, some are Buddhism, and some are Taoism...

No, this character is really complicated, right?

Since ancient times, I have never heard of any master who is proficient in several disciplines.

If there really is such a talented person, there wouldn't be a need for old sisters to promote it.

Then, Aunt Su would give up the idea!

Therefore, she must learn the master's lessons in reverse.

As soon as the messenger left, Aunt Su sat there and began to think about it.

Since the day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year, many female relatives from the capital will be there, so this trip is also to expand one’s network.

Why should I, an old lady from another place, expect people to look at me with new eyes?

Oh, even if you have the ability, others have to be willing to stop and give you more opportunities to display your abilities!

Aunt Su went to look for her belongings.

Fortunately, when the Fifth Princess and Lin Yanniang returned to Tongcheng, they brought a lot of fine fabrics for Aunt Su, and Lin Yanniang also made several sets of clothes in the style of the capital. Since they were brought from far away, they were naturally made with great care.

After the Fifth Princess and her friends returned to Tongcheng, Aunt Su also picked out a few pieces of fabric she liked and made clothes.

The clothes she made took people's status and age into consideration, combining comfort and beauty.

Then after Su Heiya looked at her clothes, she searched online and got her some matching jewelry.

Aunt Su thought about it and picked out a dark blue dress and a matching gray pearl three-piece suit.

The three-piece set includes a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a small comb inlaid with pearls.

This color is sophisticated and calm, and paired with dark blue it has the effect of brightening the eyes.

Given her current status and the fact that her husband had only been dead for less than a year, she could not wear those golden or colorful jewelry. She could wear pearls, but white pearls were a bit ordinary. On the contrary, this kind of gray ones were really luxurious and rare in this era.

In addition to her outfit, she also needs to be careful about the items she brings with her... This is what they call details determine success or failure!

Of course, the two children cannot be left behind.

The day after tomorrow, Aunt Su and the two children packed up and waited for Lin Yanniang's carriage to arrive. Then they got on their own carriage and went to Qifeng Mountain together...

As for Lin Lao Er, he did not follow them to Qifeng Mountain. Instead, he went to the inn in the east of the city to look for Qian Lao Liu.

Ever since Qian Laoliu saw Lin Laoer the day before yesterday, he felt like a sex-hungry ghost seeing a peerless beauty, and he thought about her day and night!
