I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Nowadays, there is a custom that sons must observe three years of mourning when their parents pass away. Since the Minister of Personnel did not want to observe this period of mourning, he naturally had to find ways to prolong his mother's life.

If the prefect of Xingzhou presented the good Ganoderma lucidum to the Minister of Personnel at this time, then the Minister of Personnel would naturally return the favor and give him great benefits.

In this case, it is not a question of money, but a question of the future of their prefect.

Not only the owner of the He Family Clinic knew about this, but almost everyone in the official and wealthy circles in their area knew about it.

Although the owner of the He Family Clinic himself did not dare to get involved at this time, there were always many people who only cared about the immediate interests and were eager to take advantage of opportunities to pursue their future.

So what if the building is about to collapse? The enemy hasn't attacked us yet.

Even if the enemy has already attacked, can't they just surrender?

A surrendered minister is still a minister. Could the leader of the enemy force dare to go against the world and kill all these surrendered ministers?

Since the worst outcome is just losing office and returning home, what are they afraid of?

Now that there is an opportunity, they must of course take advantage of it, and then plunder as much as they can every day and earn as much as they can.

To put it bluntly, there are too many people who want to have a final carnival before the end of the world before the building collapses.

For them, it didn't matter if the ship sank. The most important thing was to let them dismantle a few planks and grab some gold and silver first. It would be best if they could divide up even the last remains of the ship.

As for the "ship owner", their former lord from whom they could no longer squeeze any surplus value, they would of course leave him to face the fate of drowning after the ship sank.

A group of people were making plans, and the Ganoderma lucidum, which could just solve the urgent need of the Minister of Personnel, became a hot commodity.

Because the news spread to such a wide range, Mr. He did not suspect that Gu Wenxuan was deceiving him.

He didn't know that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou only guessed that their clinic was in urgent need of Ganoderma lucidum based on the little medicine boy's attitude, and he also didn't know that Gu Wenxuan's claim that they could sell it somewhere else was actually just an accident.

He weighed the pros and cons quickly in his mind and said, "How about this? I'll charge you two thousand taels per catty."

Many people may know that the Minister of Personnel needs Ganoderma lucidum, but their prefect is willing to pay a high price of 2,600 taels. He Dongjia believes that not many people will know this news.

Judging from the way the mother and son were dressed, they didn't look like people who could have direct contact with the prefectural government and others.

Seeing that Gu Wenxuan remained silent and seemed to be considering, He Dongjia said again: "Sister-in-law, this price is really the highest, it really can't be more."

Gu Wenxuan glanced at him and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say."

In total they brought five large ones and two medium-sized ones, weighing two taels in total. If one pound is two thousand taels, they could get a total of four hundred taels.

Thinking of this, she immediately said, "But you have to give us gold."

He Dongjia nodded, "No problem."

Before the previous dynasty, the price of gold had been relatively stable, and the exchange rate of gold to silver had remained within the range of one to five or one to six.

However, since several emperors of the previous dynasty had a special liking for gold, the price of gold in the previous dynasty had been rising steadily. By the beginning of the troubled times, the exchange rate of gold to silver had gradually increased from one to five and one to six in the early days of the founding of the country to one to ten at that time.

After the chaos began, the exchange rate between gold and silver increased further because gold was easier to carry, and has now risen to twelve to one.

As the owner of a medical clinic with a large family business who often needs to purchase expensive medicinal materials, Mr. He has of course stockpiled a lot of gold in case of emergency.

According to the current exchange rate of 1 to 12, he took out 30 taels of gold and 40 taels of silver and gave them to Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan counted them and handed all the gold and silver to Bai Jingzhou.

Bai Jingzhou weighed it and took two bites of the gold and silver ingots he had randomly selected.

Gu Wenxuan secretly laughed. She handed the small wooden box in her hand to He Dongjia, "Then we have settled the deal."

He Dongjia carefully took the small wooden box and said, "Go, get me some of the best medicine boxes."

The little medicine boy left in response. Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan put away the gold and silver, and stood up together carrying the backpacks.

Mr. He smiled and sent the two to the front hall of the clinic. "If you two have such good medicinal materials in the future, you are welcome to send them to our He Family Clinic at any time."

Gu Wenxuan glanced at the pharmacist, apprentice, doctor, and patient who were listening to their conversation. "As long as the He family is willing to give us a fair price."

He Dongjia laughed heartily, "That's for sure."

Gu Wenxuan also gave him a faint smile, "Then we will take our leave first. Mr. He, please stay."

He Dongjia stopped walking upon hearing this. He had no intention of personally escorting Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou out of the clinic.

All he was thinking about now were the seven Ganoderma Lucidums that he had locked in the cabinet. He was able to suppress his inner desire and restlessness and send Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou to the front hall of the clinic. This was the result of his efforts to suppress his instincts with reason.

Carrying the heavy gold and silver ingots, Bai Jingzhou quickly moved away from the He family clinic under the escort of Gu Wenxuan.

Behind them, two patients who had been waiting for their consultation in the front hall of the clinic followed Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou stealthily.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou had both experienced the perilous apocalypse, so it would be strange if they didn't notice this kind of low-level tracking.

They glanced at each other inconspicuously, then suddenly sped up together at a street corner, turning three or two and entering a remote alley far away from the main street and the side street.

The two people chasing them also sped up as they did, but when they reached that remote alley, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou were nowhere to be seen.

The two of them spat at the same time, and reluctantly searched around the alley three or four times, not knowing that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou had already climbed over two walls and left leisurely from another alley next door.

As for the middle-aged woman who was frightened by their sudden action of climbing over the wall into the yard, the two of them left all the vegetables in their baskets to each other as compensation.

The other party picked up nearly 30 kilograms of fresh and juicy vegetables for free. She subconsciously calculated the value and use of these vegetables in her mind, and had no time to argue with two unknown people who just borrowed her courtyard wall.

She was happily looking through the vegetables and had no intention of shouting loudly or opening the door to chase after Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou changed the track without attracting any attention, and completely got rid of the two little tails that were following them and intending to rob them of their money and kill them.
