Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

The Second Mistress said, "I think when Madam Xue first let the little Bamboos into the house, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

If we invite someone now, I'm afraid they'll use this incident to suppress the concubines."

"I don't know if my uncle has found out anything." Yesterday, my senior sister asked my uncle Huang Zongqi to find a way to find out what happened to the Xue family.

The eldest grandmother frowned and said, "It's not easy to investigate the movements in the inner house.

Besides, we don't have much roots in the capital, so I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and gone to see her.

A whole night has passed, and she hasn't even given us a single word. I don't believe she can't find someone to accompany her illegitimate grandson when he comes."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. My younger sister has two sons serving as officials outside the country, and she herself is smart, so she won't be detained.

Qihe and the others are already working with the Xue clan, diligently investigating and verifying the situation. I'm sure some news will eventually trickle out." The Second Mistress also felt somewhat resentful of Concubine Shen's actions, which made her family feel inferior to the Xue family's mistress.

Go back and tell the child’s father that if any child dares to act like a little boy in the future, he will be beaten to death.

"I'm actually quite curious about Aunt Xue. She should have been my great-aunt's person before, but she actually blatantly defected to the main wife.

Doesn't her indenture contract or something like that still remain in her great-aunt's hands? "In fact, Shen Lingzhu felt that it didn't matter if she couldn't find out. Her uncle and the others still had to go to the capital.

My family doesn't owe anything to the Xue family. Can I still be bound by morality and enter the Xue Mansion just because a child learns to play the piano?

She was just making small talk with the two grandmothers, but deep down she wanted to leave the clinic as soon as possible and find a chance to sell a few prescriptions to her senior sister to earn some money.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there are restaurants in the city that are willing to spend money to buy the so-called recipe.

The grandmother really didn't know the answer to her question. "We only see each other once a year, and she always brags about her children.

I won't ask about other things, and she won't tell me even if I ask."

Moreover, before Miaozhu and her uncle discussed investigating the Xue family yesterday, she had never thought about nor had the ability to investigate anyone.

"By the way, child, she didn't mention anything when we met this time. Will something happen?" As soon as the grandmother finished speaking, she saw Shen Miaozhu and Shen He come in together, and their expressions were rather solemn.

Shen Lingzhu asked: "What did you find out?"

Shen Songzhu nodded and said, "My great-aunt's son, who was sent to the southwest as an official, is critically ill.

Her youngest son, a teacher, has resigned from his official position and has gone to the southwest for several days. We can't find out more."

Shen Lingzhu asked again: "Whose son's concubine's daughter is the one who just came to visit me?"

The eldest grandmother knew: "The youngest son, his wife has been childless, so he took a concubine to give birth to a daughter and a son.

Why does it sound a little strange to me? One son is critically ill and the other is asked to resign from his official position to visit him?"

Shen Miaozhu said: "We have no way of knowing the inside story, but my great-aunt must have lost her power."

Logically speaking, even if she and Xiao Zhuzi came again today, it would be impossible for Miss Xue to learn the piano in such a short time.

It was against common sense for her to be so focused on learning the piano when her father was thousands of miles away.

She paused and said, "Grandma, do we have to go into the Xue Mansion again?" She personally preferred not to go, as she was annoyed by the condescending look of the Xue family women when they looked at them.

"Grandma, don't let my two sisters go together anymore.

You and I, as close relatives, can go and visit." Shen Songzhu was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so he asked the second grandmother to take care of him.

Then it was not easy for everyone to refuse, so he took the grandmother back to Xue Mansion.

But the rest of the people were also worried that there would be more trouble, so they were determined to follow.

Finally, the Second Mistress made the decision and said, "Everyone go. Sister-in-law and Song Zhu go in the name of thanking the Xue family for the donated medicinal herbs.

We will hire two carriages and wait outside."

Not long after, they parked the car outside the street where Xue Mansion was located.

Shen Lingzhu watched the eldest grandmother's car go into the street, then looked at the car in front of him and saw that the second grandmother and the seventh uncle had not gotten out, so he lowered the curtain and said, "We have been inexplicably affected by the family quarrel.

These guys stay in the backyard all day, always trying to find ways to fight each other. They're really wasting our time and money."

"I don't know if anyone will buy the recipe, but there will definitely be someone who will buy the other thing." Shen Miaozhu, who earned enough money to pay back the Seven Stars, is now much more relaxed.

Shen Lingzhu didn't have many ideas for making money, like soap glass. His senior sister said that people in ancient times could make it, but he couldn't. "What is it?"

Shen Miaozhu didn't beat around the bush and said, "Winemaking, grape wine, fruit wine."

"We only have a few wild grapes on the hill behind us." Someone didn't know which bird carried the grapes to another hill to take root.

……

On this side, Shen Miaozhu threw down the firewood and shook his head. Four hundred miles was not too far. A person could get there in three or four days if he was alone. But with a pregnant woman and a child, it would be difficult to travel fifty miles a day by donkey cart.

What's more, they had to boil medicine on the way to see if my uncle could hold on. It would take at least ten days for them to return home.

Looking at the numbers splattered on the ground, she could only hope that her uncle's friends would be more helpful.

Just as he wiped the words off the ground with his foot, a gust of hot wind blew past him. "Little Bamboo?"

"Let's talk later." Shen Lingzhu rushed to the door and walked in slowly. Seeing her brother wiping his face, she waited for a moment and said, "Brother, do you want to take Auntie home safely and quickly?"

"Of course I do." Shen Xianzhu threw down the towel without a second thought. Although he felt it was silly to ask his eight-year-old sister, he really couldn't borrow a carriage himself. "Do you have any ideas for getting one?"

Shen Lingzhu waved for him to come out. The two of them were so engrossed in whispering at the door that Shen Miaozhu, who had just returned from borrowing needlework, didn't come up to disturb them.

But after a while, the two of them just said "let's go to the outer city" and left.

Shen Miaozhu caught up with the two men in a few steps and grabbed them by the collar. When she learned that the plan to make ice with saltpeter had been shelved, she thought about it and gave them a hundred coins to buy saltpeter.

……

It’s only a few blocks from Jirentang to the city gate, but the academy is right on the diagonal side of this side.

Shen Xianzhu walked hard, but Shen Lingzhu would not delay making big money for a little money, so he decisively stopped him at the city gate and called a donkey cart.

She also asked the rickshaw driver where she could buy an obedient donkey, how much it would cost, and how much it would cost to pair it with a rickshaw.

In short, when she arrived at the academy, she had already figured out the market situation and secretly thought that if she could make more money, she could buy a more durable mule cart.

After getting off the bus, she walked without caring about anyone and went straight to the ice drink stand she saw. She was quite greedy when she saw others taking the steaming sour plum juice.

The stall owner asked her what kind of drink she wanted and listed more than a dozen varieties of dishes.

When Shen Lingzhu asked the price, which ranged from a few to a dozen coins per cup, she shook her head and said no. She caught up with her eldest brother, wiped his sweat, and asked, "Is this the restaurant?"

She looked at the stall owner, who was older and carried a load on his shoulder, wandering the streets at any time. So she pulled her brother to continue looking. Not only were there many temples, Taoist temples, and trees nearby, but there were also several water pools scattered around, making it cooler than the inner city.

So Shen Lingzhu could go around a few more ways to find more suitable buyers, and finally found a stall with a sign about a hundred feet away from the academy.
