The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 95 Xu Rongrong is sick

After November, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River becomes the most unbearable.

The cold and damp air seemed to penetrate directly into the bones.

The Luo family's house was passed down from their ancestors, so it had an extra layer of cold and damp air.

In the past two days, Luo Xiao and her daughter Luo Yuqi moved all the silk and yarn stored in the house to the yard to dry in the sun.

Because the Luo family previously ran a music studio, and that kind of place favored the use of silk and gauze to create a ethereal atmosphere, they had a large stockpile of this material. However, this material was precious, and if it wasn't regularly turned and aired, it would quickly become moldy and unusable.

Now that there were no servants at home, the mother and daughter had to do it themselves. It took them several days to dry out most of the stock.

It has been seven days since they came to Yuzhou. Not only are the mother and daughter of the Luo family busy all the time, but Xu Rongrong herself has also lost a lot of weight.

These days, she goes out early and comes back late every day, running around the pharmacies in the streets and alleys of Yuzhou City.

However, the city’s stock of medicinal herbs needed to reduce fever was far from sufficient.

This is no wonder. With Yuzhou City in such a state of decline, many shopkeepers are busy clearing out their stocks while they are still in good health. Very few people are willing to purchase or stock up on goods.

It is a pharmacy, and the new products are some commonly used medicinal materials.

Xu Rongrong was so anxious that she got angry, and her face was abnormally red.

Chu He saw it all and remained silent.

At night, he sneaked into Wu Ji Pharmacy, a larger pharmacy in the east of the city.

The shop was closed at this time, and in the backyard a man dressed as a shopkeeper was sorting medicinal herbs to be used tomorrow.

Chu He stood behind him. "Who is it?" The shopkeeper was a little confused. After turning around and seeing who it was, he was startled. "Chu...Chu He?"

Chu He muttered, "It's me."

Shopkeeper Wu was shocked. "You...didn't you take Yun Ge'er away? After you left, your uncle boasted about it, saying that the second branch of the Chu family was useless and had squandered everything. He said that the Chu family's reputation would still depend on the first branch to maintain its reputation in the future."

"Let's not talk about him today." Chu He frowned. "A woman came to you this afternoon to buy medicine. Why didn't you respond?"

When Xu Rongrong entered the store in the afternoon, Chu He did not show up because he was an old acquaintance of the shopkeeper.

But he secretly saw the girl's loss.

Shopkeeper Wu scratched his head, recollecting for a moment, and finally remembered: "Oh...you mean the woman in yellow? The herbs she mentioned are not common, so I naturally don't have extra supplies here."

"Then why can't we go to the surrounding areas to acquire it?"

Shopkeeper Wu laughed and said, "You... don't know. Now that Yuzhou City has become like this, who would dare to buy those unpopular goods? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Chu He said in a deep voice: "What if I let you go?"

"It's not impossible, but...will you pay for it?" Shopkeeper Wu laughed.

Chu He thought for a moment, raised his hand and clasped it around Shopkeeper Wu's neck, tightening his grip slightly: "I don't have any money."

The smile on Shopkeeper Wu's face froze. He and Chu He had been friends since childhood, and he knew Chu He's character best. Seeing this, he was a little scared: "You...are you serious?"

"Yes."

"But my family is poor and I am afraid I can't afford the loss." Shopkeeper Wu looked embarrassed.

Chu He looked at him: "I won't let you lose."

……

The next morning, when Xu Rongrong was feeling worried, Wen Yao came over with a cheerful expression, "Miss, a shopkeeper named Wu just came over. He said he was going to the nearby states to buy medicinal herbs, and he wanted to bring the herbs we mentioned along with him."

Xu Rongrong was surprised: "We didn't reach an agreement with any of them yesterday, so why did someone come to our door today?"

Wen Yao laughed and said, "I'm afraid God feels sorry for Miss!"

Xu Rongrong went out to meet Shopkeeper Wu.

This person was one of the people who had rejected her yesterday afternoon. When they met today, Shopkeeper Wu came forward with a smile and said, "I was just about to send someone out to get some medicine today, but when I remembered what the young lady needed, I decided to send someone along."

Xu Rongrong hurriedly thanked him and ordered Wen Yao to get the banknotes from the room.

Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Chu He standing behind Xu Rongrong and quickly waved his hand, "That won't do! I have to sell the medicine I collected at the market price. If you give me the money now, I won't be able to settle the bill later."

Businessmen pursue profit, and there is some truth to that. As long as it doesn't delay saving lives, nothing else matters to her.

So she thanked him repeatedly and ordered Wen Yao to send him out.

Chu He stood up from behind: "I'll go."

So, accompanied by his fierceness, Shopkeeper Wu left trembling.

……

In the past few days, Xu Rongrong asked Shu Qing to concentrate on developing medicine to treat the epidemic, while she herself was busy preparing the medicine.

Another day passed, and the first batch of medicinal materials that Manager Wu had collected from the four surrounding states had returned to Yuzhou, and several more batches were on the way back.

But now, the medicinal materials are available, but how can she let the people of the city know the prescription as soon as possible?

After all, Yuzhou City was only a hundred miles in radius, so it was difficult to notify all the people in the city in a short period of time. Unless she notified the provincial government in her capacity as the county lord.

In her eyes, this was a very bad idea, because once the provincial government was involved, her identity in Yuzhou would be exposed.

Will the sudden appearance of the county lord of the Great Zhou in Yuzhou affect Mu Rong's actions in Jiangnan Road?

If she wants to keep her identity, she has to find another way.

Just when she was at a loss, the last leaf on the old tree in the yard was finally blown down by the wind.

It was hanging swaying on the rack for drying silk in the yard.

Xu Rongrong saw this and came up with a plan.

She quickly invited the mother and daughter of the Luo family to come and express her thoughts.

The mother and daughter of the Luo family thought it was feasible. To them, silk gauze was just a material possession. If it could be of great help to the county lady, that would be great!

So, several people were busy in the room for the whole afternoon.

By evening, everything was ready, and it was time for Mu Ai and Chu He to take action.

What Xu Rongrong asked them to do... was very simple... it just crippled their legs.

The next morning, every household in Yuzhou City found a silk handkerchief in their yard or in front of their door. On it were listed several medicinal herbs, which were marked as a good remedy for reducing fever.

Nowadays, people are already worried about the sick people at home. How can they care much when they see the prescription?

Some old men have already started to kneel down and kowtow, thinking that it is a blessing from heaven.

People flocked to the major pharmacies in the city. Due to insufficient stock, many shops closed within an hour or two.

However, the store run by Manager Wu has been making a lot of money these days.

He was holding the banknotes in his arms, shaking with excitement!

I wish I could go to the Luo family courtyard and kowtow to Chu He and that young lady! Two days later, those who had been suffering from high fever in Yuzhou City for a long time all recovered from their fever.

Now only those who have fallen into the second stage of the disease are still struggling, but the number of coffins for funerals has visibly decreased.

In the Luo family's house.

Xu Rongrong fell ill...
